Request for checkuser
Wiki poserdazfreebies rarely gets more than one new account in any given day. Earlier this week, four accounts with similar names were created within two minutes of each other:
 * 17:38, 10 August 2019 User account Joogaloogie99 talk contribs block was created
 * 17:37, 10 August 2019 User account Jewels99 talk contribs block was created
 * 17:36, 10 August 2019 User account Jules99 talk contribs block was created
 * 17:36, 10 August 2019 User account Juju99 talk contribs block was created

In a separate matter, two accounts with somewhat-similar names (random strings with the same suffix) were created in the last two days, which made me curious enough to look through the log:
 * 16:58, 14 August 2019 User account MsiInlDige talk contribs block was created
 * 23:58, 13 August 2019 User account LlivaerRDige talk contribs block was created

 * 00:54, 23 July 2019 User account PotHhAqweDige talk contribs block was created
 * 16:47, 22 July 2019 User account UtreyffasqDige talk contribs block was created
 * 04:27, 7 July 2019 User account YufaggsarDige talk contribs block was created
 * 10:32, 6 June 2019 User account DiSsmaraDige talk contribs block was created

 * I investigated, that's true. But to be sure, I'll call .--Gustave London (talk) 12:47, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * specifically asked for a CU to check this. As far as I can tell, you do not have CheckUser access. Please do not mislead users into thinking you have carried out a request when you haven't. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 13:35, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I meant "investigated" because I went to see if it was true. I said "call Void" because it has access to the checkuser. Gustave London (talk) 14:09, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * For the purposes of avoiding confusion, please leave reviewing them to CheckUsers unless you have any new information or it is clearly false. All of our stewards have CU access and I'll keep an eye on it to make sure someone helps out soon. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 14:11, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Special:GlobalRenameQueue
Hi, there is currently a lot of user rename requests that are sill open (their accounts have not eat been renamed) and it includes my account rename request. —znotch190711 (temporary signature) 11:10, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * How would you be able to claim that there are "a lot" of user rename requests open since the GlobalRenameQueue page can only be viewed by Stewards? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 12:20, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Hiding the "from *wikiname*" text
Title says it all... how can I hide that? I'm pretty sure it's possible, but I haven't found much in the settings.FraazT0 (talk) 22:12, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Could you please elaborate on the issue? Examknow (talk) 21:38, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I know how to fix it. Could you please give me interface admin on your wiki so I can fix the issue? Examknow (talk) 21:44, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Also next time please post this request under the Community noticeboard as it is not an issue that the steward needs to fix. <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 20px lightskyblue, -4px -4px 20px HotPink;font-weight:bold;">Examknow ● talk ● contribs 22:55, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Issue can be simply fixed by blanking the page MediaWiki:Tagline, or by adding  to MediaWiki:Common.css. Do be aware that either solution will take time to update and become visible (or in this case, become hidden). --  Void  Whispers 21:11, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
