Wiki Request
I’m sorry if I’m bothering you, but could you check my Wiki Request? I made sure that I didn’t take the domain and database of someone else. Thanks, SkepticRaids (talk) 00:48, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * SkepticRaids Thank you for your wiki request. Please note that wiki creators are volunteers and requests are reviewed, generally speaking, in the order received. In your case, I've reviewed your request, and requested you go back into and add to but not replace your existing description with the needed information. As far as your subdomain goes, that is not an issue. Dmehus (talk) 00:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry, also I edited the request SkepticRaids (talk) 00:59, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * SkepticRaids No problem. Yep, saw that. You updated the request great. ✅ subject to your noted caveat. Your requested wiki has been created. Dmehus (talk) 01:05, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * SkepticRaids Looks like your wiki request was approved already. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:01, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep SkepticRaids (talk) 01:02, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Request
I talked with Dmehus about this and you said that you didn't agree with the blocks I got. He told me to ask you if I could be unblocked on the wikis that I did nothing wrong on. Also can you restore my userpages on all of the wikis since deleting my userpages was completely unnecessary. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:08, 19 June 2021 (UTC)


 * As a local community member I'd Blubabluba9990 being unblocked on all Qualitipedia wikis except for the two Best TV Shows & Episodes Wiki and Terrible TV Shows Wiki that were an issue, provided he discusses (a) any planned potentially controversial edits on the companion talk pages and (b) avoids DuchessTheSponge's and MarioMario456's user talk pages. Perhaps after two or three months of constructive editing, his blocks on Best TV Shows & Episodes Wiki and Terrible TV Shows Wiki could be reevaluated. If you don't want to make this decision as a local administrator on your own, perhaps you could talk to other administrators including DeciduousWater534, MatthewThePrep, and Trevor807? Dmehus (talk) 02:26, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * In 's case, he's no longer an admin of the Qualitipedia wikis anymore as he retired, but do think the wikis need changing. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:41, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * And for the record, I've already unblocked him on 2 other wikis as well. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:42, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with MarioMario456, but yes, I do mostly agree with what Dmehus said. I would also like my userpages restored on all of the wikis, as well as the other pages that I created and that got mass deleted after I was blocked (which seems to have just been on Awful Movies Wiki). And I also agree with Trevor807 in that the wikis need a lot of improvement. Luckily since FreezingTNT is back we can finish up the rebrand faster. So like Dmehus said, can I be unblocked on all of the wikis except for the two wikis he said were an issue. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:21, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Pinging issue on simple travel guides.
It won't work for some reason. Yaq1121 (talk) 11:26, 21 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I think I may know what the issue is. You haven't created it yet, so I'll do so. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:29, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, thankyou. Yaq1121 (talk) 11:31, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * However, you might notice some script errors for that template. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:34, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Unblocks
Per a discussion here: User talk:MarioMario456, me and Dmehus agreed that I should be unblocked on every wiki except for the television show wikis, and that my userpages should be restored on the wikis that they were deleted (the tv shows wikis, movies wikis, and Crappy Games Wiki). So can you do this, or at least unblock me on all of the wikis that you are an admin on (you can see every wiki that I am blocked on here: Special:CentralAuth/Blubabluba9990), and for the remaining wikis perhaps Dmehus could carry the torch from there. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:22, 22 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I would imagine that this whole fiasco has ended. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:25, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hopefully it has. It seems like I have been unblocked on most of the Qualitipedia wikis, though there are a bunch of random wikis I am also blocked on, since DuchessTheSponge blocked me on every wiki where he is an admin and where I just so happen to have an account. So if you are also an admin on any of those wikis, you can unblock me there. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:29, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, has unblocked you on a few wikis as I've been keeping track of them on the   channel via Discord. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:36, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I know. But my userpages also have to be restored and I need to be unblocked on the rest of the wikis, excluding the tv show wikis. Dmehus actually said that I should only be blocked on the tv show wikis, and it should be a limited block, and he said I could appeal in a few months time. I might ask Dmehus to unblock me on the rest of the wikis where you are not an admin, since like I said, DuchessTheSponge blocked me on every wiki where he is an admin, and on some of the wikis he is the only active admin or the only admin. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:39, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm applying the unblocks right now as we speak, my friend, so no worries. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:40, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:41, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you also restore my userpages on all of the wikis where they were deleted (the tv shows wikis, movies wikis, and Crappy Games Wiki). Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:51, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

I replied. It would be helpful if you could take a look.

 * I did, and the description of the request could be a bit more descriptive. Others can disagree, others may agree. It's an equal 50/50 here. Hope that answers your question. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:04, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I changed my mind, I ✅ your wiki request, although it was an okay request from the start. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:33, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Harry Potter
I know I have been asking alot lately, but apologies thank you. Cheers. Sperosdurell (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh, it's no problem at all. I accept your apology either way. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Interwiki
Hello DarkMatterMan4500, I was creating my userpage at the login wiki and I wanted to know if there is any interwiki prefix for my wiki, https://kawipedia.miraheze.org. I searched on the loginwiki:Special:Interwiki but I couldn't find one. So if it exists, will you please point that out. Thanks :) ~ Mazzaz (talk) 14:43, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * That I don't know. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:45, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * To link to your wiki, the interwiki prefix is mh: : . So for example, if I wanted to link to my Meta user page, I'd use mh:meta:User:Agent Isai, for your kawipedia page, I'd use mh:kawipedia:User:Mazzaz . Agent Isai (talk) 20:25, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What Agent Isai said ^, which I acknowledge with thanks. The only minor points I'd add are a several minor caveats and/or points with MirahezeMagic pseudo-interwiki wikilinks, notably:
 * You cannot use MirahezeMagic pseudo-interwiki wikilinks as prefixes in Special:Import. Instead, you'll need to request an interwiki administrator or Steward to add any local prefixes you require
 * You cannot transclude MirahezeMagic pseudo-interwiki wikilinks. If you're looking to transclude your local IRC status page to your global page, just let any Steward, or interwiki administrator, know that you'd like your wiki to be added to Loginwiki's local interwiki table, stating a clear reason for the addition. Sario does this with his QuIRC Wiki on his global user page
 * Where Agent Isai mentions, for greater clarity, that is  , not your wiki's database name (which is the same except with an extra "wiki" appended to it). Dmehus (talk) 15:58, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for providing him a much better explanation here . DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:03, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I wouldn't say it was better, actually. Agent Isai's explanation was great. I just added several minor points, but Mazzaz would've been fully informed with Agent Isai's explanation, too. Dmehus (talk) 16:06, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay then. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:07, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Request
May I get access/redirected to LTA logs pages of Nonciclopedia You were kindly referring to? If this ain’t a problem, cause I have a bad memory and wanted to understand better the situation. Thanks.--Executive2 (talk) 12:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I'd say go to the block log there. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks...I am lazy... :)--Executive2 (talk) 14:04, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Request
So the mention of KAPfan9876 has been removed on ItMeansNothing's sandbox page due to false info but can I ask you to do one thing on that page, remove the word, "KAP" off of ItMeansNothing's page because it's still mentioning KAPfan9876. https://wage10.miraheze.org/wiki/User:ItMeansNothing/sandbox/PN. PrivateNewone (talk) 20:51, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I believe it was me that did that for you. Dmehus (talk) 00:16, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I was going to say that I'm not a Steward. (Wish I was though, as I've proven myself to be useful in investigations into sockpuppetry). DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:18, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Technically, you're a member of that community, so you could process PrivateNewone's updated request if you wanted to, but I'll take a look in a bit. Dmehus (talk) 00:34, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
 * When I went to Dmehus discussion page, I noticed that there wasn’t an Add topic button, so this is the reason why I went to you instead. User talk:Dmehus I figured that I might’ve gone to the wrong page, missed the page or didn’t see it. PrivateNewone (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There's no add topic on Dmehus' talk page because it's protected. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 21:44, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
 * What Iron Sword 23 said above is correct. Anyway, this has been ✅, though it was only a partial username reference as could see only KAP not KAPfan9876. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:23, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Newbie and I don't understand
Hello, and sorry if I unintentionally cause some trouble, but as you can see, I am a newbie in this place and I don't know where to see why there is a decline in my request for making LHKPedia. Is there something else I needed to do? Can I do another request when the time is ripe? Smooth Operator (talk) 11:53, 22 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh, no worries. The scope of your wiki isn't bad, but feels pretty vague to say the least. You can always edit your request by pressing the  button, then fill in the rest of the details if needed to. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:56, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * On second thought, I've ✅ your wiki request, as a user made a duplicate request with the same wiki, so therefore, you may now enter. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:59, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. Chad (talk) 19:23, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh that's quite fine. Don't worry about a thing. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:29, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

please check this account "Urano". He didn't vandalize, but his writing is VERY similar to our well-known Dominic YellowFrogger (talk) 03:50, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Problem
Since I know that you said a while ago that you thought some of my blocks were unfair, I may need your help. MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge have been spreading lies about me and painting me as this drama causing monster, which is FAR from the truth. While Dmehus is inactive, I need to know you are on my side, because you seem to be the only Qualitipedia admin who hasn't attacked me. This problem is ongoing yet any discussions have gone nowhere. Furthermore, Duchess and Mario are saying that I am playing the victim card when I am the victim, and I never broke any of the rules. This is really stressing me out because now they have turned everyone against me and I cannot deal with being personally attacked, blocked on every wiki, and my efforts to prove my innocence being completely hopeless. If you are on my side, maybe you can help. I wish there was some way I could resolve this through a peaceful discussion but since all of the admins except for you seem to hate me, unfortunately this requires Steward intervention, since this is a cross-wiki power abuse case. The points expressed in the attack blog are either from months ago or are not even against Qualitipedia's rules, which is why my blocks are meaningless. Furthermore, Duchess has been deleting BookFandumb1's comments defending me and even gave him a warning just for defending me. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:52, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

 * CircleyverseFaneggdog Are you CircleyDoesExtracter's legitimate alternate account? If so, please provide a confirmation edit from CircleyDoesExtracter. If not, please either (a) link to an on-wiki diff where a Circleyverse Wiki bureaucrat has authorized you to take the Circleyverse Wiki name as part of your username or (b) request a global rename.

Your work
Hi Zackary, and thanks for approving my wiki request recently. About "I am currently learning how to code in programming in hopes of getting a job in video game design," I sure hope that's going well for you? I've done a bit of coding in my time but, frankly, I'm rusty as hell these days. Serves me right for starting-out in Cobol, I guess. But count on me for moral support, at least, haha. All the best, -J CptRabid (talk) 16:45, 26 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Ehhh, it's no problem at all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You got a mention on the Main Page, too - long may it last. Hey, is there a top ten "things you should do or, at least, think about doing" when your wiki has been created?  Or, do you yourself have a top five or - hell, I'm desperate - a top three? Cheers, -J CptRabid (talk) 17:41, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Getting in touch one last time... for now...? We'll see...
Hi, DarkMatterMan4500. It's me, FreezingTNT. I apologize for my aggressive behavior and threat to put Cuties onto the Greatest Movies Wiki. As I feel like you guys won't change your mind in regards to your "reception" and "popular opinions/general consensus" policies, and after a while of discussion with, I have made my decision to create my own duology of wikis: the Wikis for Media of Good and Bad. They'll be identical to the Reception Wikis/QP, and I'm even considering pasting many specific articles from the wikis onto both of my wikis — however, I feel like I need the whole QP moderation team's permission or approval in order to move forward in the direction I just told you I wanted to go.

Could you contact the other mods about this? To see if they would approve of me pasting exact articles from QP?

FreezingTNT (talk) 18:53, 27 July 2021 (UTC)


 * As an obligatory notice, wikis that are near full duplicates of other Miraheze wikis with only an odd 5 to 15 percent difference in content may be shut down. That level of replication may not fly at a Miraheze Meta level. Raidarr (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

To be fair, there were the Outcast Wikis (although those were shut down for different, unrelated reasons).

EDIT: Also, it wouldn't be an exact copy of one individual wiki, each of the two wikis would paste in articles from different, separate QP wikis while pasting in my own articles from time to time. And given that articles do tend to be re-worked or improved... who knows (when it comes to the upcoming pasted QP articles)?

FreezingTNT (talk) 19:06, 27 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Outcast was Outcast for good reason. I'll make a second notice after giving more thought to your approach; rather than try to split things into equidistant good or bad, I would think someone learning from QP's mistakes will avoid one of the common sources of drama and simply present 'the facts' of what is good or bad on one wiki, in one article so you can deflect people who argue over it being ultimately good or ultimately bad, especially when things like priorities, context and relevance are thrown into a heated discussion. Now, if you were to include a stronger content policy as far as what is truly good or bad, I may personally be tempted to contribute based on clear metrics. The lack of clearly defined ones is one of several issues I take with QP wikis, and I figure a wise owner would try to resolve the administrative issues rather than duplicate them. Further discussion I can take to the accepted MediaofGood platform as compared to furthering the topic on this page. --Raidarr (talk) 21:18, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You already made your point multiple times, but I chose to not comment on it until you brought it here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:53, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

@Raidarr To clarify; it would be two wikis — Wiki for Media of Good would be for good media, and Wiki for Media of Bad would be for bad media. They would be sister wikis of each other, if you know what I mean. Regarding your second sentence; in this context, "good" would mean... well, it has a lot of positives (in that they usually overwhelm the flaws, yadda yadda), and on the other hand "bad" would mean extremely flawed, not necessarily a piece of shit or a flaming dumpster fire or whatever.

"Now, if you were to include a stronger content policy as far as what is truly good or bad" There are always things that usually resonate with or relate to or excite audiences, hence the "positives" — on the other hand, there are things and "imperfections" that usually tend to... irritate audiences, such as plot holes, inconsistencies, contrivances, blatant rehashing of previous stories, unlikable or annoying characters, low-quality visuals, unfitting music, etc., hence the "negatives".

So, it would lean on reception, sort of... but not necessarily for movies/video games/shows/whatever's individually, more for how the audience responds to such things such as positives or negatives. Humans are typically creatures that are more likely to want things to be perfect, hence why we tend to get upset about things that aren't exactly perfect such as my examples from above — they are also typically creatures that are more likely to relate to things such as relatable or complex characters or beautiful-looking visuals or good acting or anything else that they find entertaining, yadda yadda.

So basically, imagine one of those YouTube or critic reviews you would typically find on the Internet — they're pointing out positives that typical audiences would relate to or negatives that would hurt typical audiences' enjoyment. They're recommending what to check out or not to check out. This is what I intend to do, that the Reception Wikis/QP failed to do — point out things based on what actually happens in the movie (and not reception or popular opinion for the media individually), things that humans would be more likely to see as "perfections" and/or "imperfections". Yeah, you get the point.

EDIT: Also, I'll try to make sure individual pointers never misinterpret what actually happens in the media as much as I can.

"I figure a wise owner would try to resolve the administrative issues rather than duplicate them." I figure I may need others to serve as consultants...

@DarkMatterMan4500 "Bring it here?" What do you mean by the "it"? ',:(

FreezingTNT (talk) 00:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Did I just get kicked off of the QP Discord server? All I was trying to do was let the others know I was splitting off from them (as in making my own wikis), and apologizing for the Cuties incident.

FreezingTNT (talk) 17:59, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi many thanks for activating my wiki really appreciated. Admiral Marcus (talk) 07:25, 28 July 2021 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, and sorry for my late response. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:24, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

In case you didn't know
DuchessTheSponge should have actually been blocked. I cannot believe that he's not blocked for closing the Fresh Websites and Rotten Websites Wiki. MountWario (talk) 22:48, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Apologies
Sorry. Sperosdurell (talk) 02:18, 29 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh, that's quite alright. No harm was done. But I'm just letting you know that was suspected of being a sockpuppet of a locked user, WG8686. Please note that this individual in question has been making similar requests in the past as several sockpuppets, only to be treated with a boomerang lock in return instead. These following examples of this guy using sockpuppets on the Stewards' Noticeboard should be pretty painfully obvious as their edits like this one are nothing more than a mere attempt to get either me or  de-platformed without evidence, and filing frivolous and/or repeated false statements in their reports without having evidence of harassment. This has been going on since around September 22nd, 2020, exactly 11 months now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:32, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * And as soon as I posted this, I saw that SpiderManDude has made an additional false statement, which is evidenced enough to warrant an action against the filer. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Welp
Since Duchess has been globally locked and Mario is apparently retiring and has asked to be globally locked, it looks like you are in charge of Qualitipedia. As a result, you can unblock me from the wikis I am blocked on, restore my userpage, and hopefully forget about this whole thing. Finally, the second phase of Blubagate has come to a possible end! Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Well not quite yet, since Mario has to officially retire. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * DMM is in number one place, while Mario was only in 2 and has already passed position 2 to Blazikeye. --Raidarr (talk) 08:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. I just hope DMM unblocks me so that the situation will officially be all over. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:23, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I will ping Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:27, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It has been 4 days since I messaged you and still no answer. Since Duchess is locked and Mario has requested to be locked, you are in charge of Qualitipedia, so can you unblock me. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:25, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I just don't want to start anything here, that's all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. As long as I am unblocked, I am happy. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:30, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Warning
Hey man, are you alright? I need more volunteer admins on the wiki I manage. That at least looks at recent changes once every ONE WEEK, if anyone wants to volunteer, and you invited. Thanks YellowFrogger (talk) 01:20, 15 September 2021 (UTC) YellowFrogger (talk) 01:39, 15 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks for the invitation. As for that question, yes, I am doing just fine. Thanks for asking. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:54, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Morning!!!
Thanks for visiting the USA wiki. SperosDurrell (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

A favor
Can you add a site notice on all of the Qualitipedia wikis telling people to bump up the page count on Worst Music & Songs Wiki to 40 pages so that the main pages can be redesigned, I cannot edit the site notice since I am not an admin. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:03, 25 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Just propose a main page redesign based on the fact it is a part of QP and the front page should look moderately okay regardless. You don't need a sitenotice for this. --Raidarr (talk) 20:38, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I could manage that at any point of time. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:41, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Problem is, I am blocked on Qualitipedia Meta. Also, the current main page for Worst Music & Songs Wiki needs to match up with the other wikis, and there needs to be 40 pages for the main page to be redesigned. You do need a sitenotice, not a proposal. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 15:07, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * No, there don't have to be 40 pages to update it. Please explain why you think this. --Raidarr (talk) 16:34, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Because there are 40 featured pages on the main page, so yes, there does have to be 40 pages to update the main page. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:14, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Use a better format, or cut down the amount that is blobbed into the page. It doesn't need 40 featured. Not to mention you reveal a greater problem with imposing a static format onto wikis that are small; even if you get 40 pages, making them all featured defeats the very definition of being featured. Twice that is a bit much and frankly I have half a mind to suggest the literature and music wikis simply go under their own leadership for lack of meaningful traffic or content. --Raidarr (talk) 00:53, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * But kicking the music and literature wikis out would completely undo the rebrand and send us back to the Triangle of Opinionated Entertainment! Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * And we do not want to go back to the Triangle of Opinionated Entertainment. It will make all of our hard work completely meaningless. Plus, it is not Qualitipedia without the Rebrand. Qualitipedia is simply the name for the post-rebrand organization of Media Reception Wikis. By removing the literature and music wikis it would go back to the way it was pre-rebrand: the Triangle of Opinionated Entertainment. Stop trying to revert Operation Phoenix. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:37, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be bluntly honest here, what I'm replying to is just silly. It wouldn't be the triangle of anything. It would be 'wikis that actually get traffic and serve a functional purpose'. Please stop acting like you have a position of authority, that this was ever a properly formed operation anything with the consensus and input of current admins or even current users, and that your opinion of what is best is the only fact that 'must' be followed as you practically demand from Qualitipedia admins/bureaucrats, and even the staff of Miraheze themselves at times. If this is how you seek to execute this 'plan' that has been a clear dead end for the better part of half a year, let it end and start something with a future, because as it stands this plan you call inevitable has proven to be a mere travesty by users with little in the way of usable schemes, only fancy names and superficial ideas given too much weight. In the interest of no longer polluting DMM's talk page with this, I will leave the topic alone and let him decide if he wants it to continue or not. --Raidarr (talk) 19:43, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It was a plan. The wikis were originally called the Triangle of Opinionated Entertainment before they were called Qualitipedia. And yes, this was an official plan. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:14, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

SOS
Check your eMail. One of the admins is toxic AF MountWario (talk) 23:14, 25 September 2021 (UTC)


 * First off, he has done absolutely nothing wrong here. If anything, the things you are saying about Blazikeye535 pretty much describes what you're doing, and I am not at all impressed with that type of attitude. Secondly, give yourself a hard look in a mirror, because all you're doing is being disruptive and it wastes everyone's time. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:29, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, he made fun of my name calling it "MoronWario". I didn't harass and he banned me across all of qualitipedia, even the wikis where i did nothing wrong on WITHOUT WARNING! I think a new rule called "You cannot block someone unless they have somehow violated the rules, even if it is on another qualitipedia wiki. MountWario (talk) 02:52, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter right now. I have switched that reason to the correct one. Also, you aren't that much better, given that you were also name-calling someone else and also showing off poor conduct on that thread. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:18, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

How do I create an infobox?
I thank you from approving my wiki request. However, I have such a difficult time creating any type of infobox here. It seems like a very difficult process after reviewing many of the infobox templates on Wikipedia and other wikis on here. Can you please help me with this if you can. Also, how do I enable visual editing on my wiki? Thanks DarRam (talk) 15:38, 29 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not too much of a professional when it comes to making infoboxes. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , hello and welcome to Miraheze! To enable the VisualEditor on your wiki, you'll have to go to Special:ManageWiki/namespaces in your wiki and enable the VisualEditor in the namespaces in which you want. --Mazzaz (talk) 15:52, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I did and I am really confused and don't know what to do. I summitted a random namespace and don't see anything enabling Visual Editing or I may not know what it is or maybe both. DarRam (talk) 16:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , have a look at Special:ManageWiki/extensions. You'll find VisualEditor extension there and enable that. --Mazzaz (talk) 16:18, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I did and it worked. First I enabled visual editing in the extension settings, then I enabled visual editing in all of the wiki's namespaces. Now the big question is, How do I create a working infobox on this platform? DarRam (talk) 18:20, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Unblocks and question
I got blocked on Rotten Websites Wiki, Crappy Games Wiki, and Awesome Games Wiki for no reason so I need to be unblocked there. The other wikis I am still blocked on are mostly old wikis that I do not intend to ever contribute to anyway.

Also why are the discord servers wikis (Excellent Discord Servers Wiki and Horrendous Discord Servers Wiki) private? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:19, 30 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I will unblock you in due course, not to worry. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:47, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. But why are the Discord Servers wikis privated? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:53, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, how are you today? :)

Requests_for_adoption

I filed this https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_adoption&diff=203435&oldid=203432&diffmode=source

my edit was reverted, and now the wiki page no longer exists, can you explain why? Thank you in advance. Anno1404 (talk) 08:51, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Considering you fixed the request, I assume he didn't catch the second edit and the reversion was an accident based on his edit summary. However, the domain is no longer available, and so it's not something that can really be adopted anyways. Adoptions are for closed but still visible wikis, not removed outright wikis; the latter you can make a post on the Stewards' noticeboard to see if someone can find it if it was very recently deleted (depends on the time it was gone, it would only last for a short time). If it was a public wiki you may be in luck to find the wiki database in backup on archive.org. If it was private then I'm afraid it is likely gone for good. This all said, a steward is planning on reviewing the adoptions page very soon and it would be okay to recreate the request on there so he can do a quick check and offer a final answer within a few days. So feel free to resubmit the request based on your conclusion from this advice. --Raidarr (talk) 09:13, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I have restored what I have reverted, and Anno, this was mainly because an abuse filter was found from you, and it prompted me to revert immediately. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:30, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * you guys are awesome thank you so much! I should start a barnstar on this website like on wikipedia!

My future
So I noticed that things have changed since the last time I visited the wikis. Mario and Duchess are gone, and you guys moved TTG vs. TT to the Okay Movies Wiki. So it seems like the Lion King sequels can be added there as well. And I'm sorry for threatening to add Cuties to GMW.

So can you guys give me another chance to be on QP? FreezingTNT (talk) 15:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, yes. I believe you deserve a second chance to be on Qualitipedia. But, I'll process the unblocks in the morning. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Upsetting Toys Wiki
Could you please make this wiki private? The wiki was closed for multiple fair reasons and I'm pretty confident that when the character wikis closed, someone said that the reason why the character wikis were privated as well was because they didn't want someone to create a ripoff of the wiki on another wiki-hosting site, and I think that's a fair reason to private the wiki. FatBurn0000 (talk) 05:59, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'll do that. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:22, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I have ✅ your request. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:29, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This is not valid rationale. If someone wants to make the wiki on another platform, that's their business and unlikely anyway, either way not your problem. If they want to duplicate it on Miraheze, they'll be hit with Miraheze policy. The wikis were closed as they are to allow normal adoption procedure, the intention was not to make them inaccessible or unadoptable. The resulting situation is no clear procedure for manual adoption that should have been executed when the wikis were closed in the first place - in fact I am quite sure I suggested that in confidence right along with original closure - and closure that further sends the wrong message as it did to when this issue was raised on the Stewards' Noticeboard. Basically, this request and its acceptance unnecessarily screws up a perfectly simple process. --Raidarr (talk) 13:19, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

You have a point, but the thing is, it's somewhat difficult to make good pages out of toys, as it's hard to list more than two or three reasons, which is not that good for a page. FatBurn0000 (talk) 19:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I would argue this is an endemic problem with reception wikis in general, including a majority of the ones you've suggested over time. It's less being able to scrounge up reasons as much as getting sourceable and valid reasons. Such is not a reason against their existence in accordance with Content Policy as long as they're not violating in other ways, although it's fair rationale to be critical about their function. But if there are people willing to try, then they're free to do so. --Raidarr (talk) 20:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Questions on supermariowiki.miraheze.org
Me and HannaMontanaFan asked you something on your talk page there, if you want to check. RMV2003 (talk) 20:15, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've been checking my emails for quite some time now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:17, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm from the well known Super Mario Wiki & have been helping HannaMontanaFan make their wiki more original because I felt they were really hard at work porting over lot of old Mario Wiki pages but it seemed like a redundant effort, so I've been helping them see their dream but at same time still use Super Mario Wiki regularly. HannaMontanaFan is also open to adopting nintendo.miraheze.org (something I suggested, to which the user agreed). A long conversation is on HannaMontanaFan's talk page on Super Mario Wiki (Miraheze) -- see here.
 * P.S. I've been trying to edit the CSS but the changes aren't showing. Any idea why? RMV2003 (talk) 20:20, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello # 2
I was on the polcomp all wiki and I was browsing through pages when then I found out my friend, RightistWrangler was globally locked, I think the reason is that Wrangler vandalized Bannned’s page and replaced it with some not so appropriate text. Now I know what Wrangler did was bad but I don’t think he deserves to be globally blocked, maybe just a warning on his talk page and a temporary block on the wiki would do. - Carpenter family (talk) 04:53, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Note that DarkMatterMan4500 is not a Steward and thus will not be able to do anything. The logged lock reason was "Abusing multiple accounts" which means that the user was suspected of using multiple accounts for disruptive purposes. If they wish to appeal, they may always do so to stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 04:58, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I don’t think Wrangler operates multiple accounts, if he did he would show them to the wiki through edits and/or comments, so I don’t think that is a good reason. - Carpenter family (talk) 12:21, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Agent's right. I don't really have that much authority beyond any comprehensible doubt. Your best bet is to ask if you want, or ask, since he's the one who locked his account. I was also confused myself. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:32, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Per the observable conversation between members of the community and the global Counter Vandalism Team, it did appear RightistWrangler was abusing multiple accounts. Now, if they believe this was in error, they are more than welcome to appeal to the aforementioned email. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:56, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Request #21180
Hi DarkMatterMan4500,

Could you describe for me your thought process in how you rationalized approving wiki request #21180, not just as okay-ish/a conditional edge case, but a bit vague, but otherwise pretty good against, principally, Content Policy? This is the fundamental policy against which wiki creators must consider when approving a requested wiki.

Notably, the requestor themselves even acknowledged the request was highly unlikely to be approved, saying there was about a 1 in 5 chance it would be approved.

Thanks,

Dmehus (talk) 06:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Please see 's question on Discord, as a long discussion of it can be seen there, as I was just asked this the other day, and I regret approving that wiki request. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:48, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 Thank you for your reply, and for the link, which I've re-read; however, not all Miraheze community members are members of the Miraheze Discord channel. For their benefit, I'll summarize Agent Isai's, Raidarr's, and Ugochimobi's responses. Agent Isai asked you whether or not the proposed wiki sounded like a content of Public Test Wiki, to which you replied that because the name was not similar to TestWiki, it was not a content fork. Raidarr, Ugochimobi, and others, affirmed Agent Isai's views, with which I'd agree. It was your response, and subsequent responses to others' questions, in which you said you were "skimming" the request in order to approve it. Equally so, you should never feel compelled to "skim" wiki requests in order to manage a requested wiki queue backlog or otherwise. Review of wiki requests requires thoughtful consideration of what the wiki's purpose is (i.e., what it is in a broad, general sense), what does it propose to write about (i.e., what it is about), and whether we have any substantially similar wikis, to which it might be better to guide the requesting user to consider contributing there, and requesting any permissions locally as they may require. As I've guided you on a number of either hastily approved or questionably/incorrectly approved wikis a number of times, notably back in May/June of this year, I was hoping to get more of a sense of your thought process behind this approval, beyond the link to the Discord server thread you shared. Do you have anything else to add to that, or does this suitably summarize that thought process? Dmehus (talk) 15:31, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, as of now, I'm just being cautious about whether or not wiki requests are to be approved. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:37, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Now I'm dealing with the same LTA who's been rampant this year. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:50, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
