Special:Wiki Index
For the WikiDiscover can you add movie's as a Category and also add tv show's Please this would make it easier for users interested In those kind of wiki's to find them? --Cocopuff2018 15:37, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Did you hear back from a Steward or System Administrator? If so, do you know what the result was? If not, let me know, and I'll try escalating this for you. Dmehus (talk) 00:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Delete this wiki
Please delete this wiki https://en.wikireserve.com BhanuSrivastav (talk) 01:11, 27 May 2020‎
 * Sorry for the delay in responding. I do see that you and the other two bureaucrats on that wiki have not issued any log actions or edits since you made this request. Normally, wikis will be deleted in a semi-automated process, per Dormancy Policy. You have, however, requested deletion, so I'll created Phab ticket #T5720 for one of the Stewards or System Administrators to follow up with you and confirm that you still want to see early deletion.

Delete reversecrummyscratchers.miraheze.org
Hi Stewards! Looks like reversecrummyscratchers is in no use because CSW is closing down, and I will close this wiki. Can you shut down? Thank you. CircleyDoesExtracter (talk) 20:12, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like this one has been done as well. See 's response below. Dmehus (talk) 01:12, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Unban Championgamer1Playz's IP
Title. Some guy shares their IP with each other, so can you unban it? Just Amelia (talk) 17:21, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The Stewards will need more detail on this. Because of the sensitive nature of the request, can you please e-mail stewards[at]miraheze.org, quoting details of the specific wiki, linking to relevant username(s) and edit diffs? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:51, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Please send a list of all public wikis to WikiTeam
I tried to add three of my wikis to the list of Miraheze wikis at WikiTeam's GitHub but was asked by nemobis for complete list of Miraheze wikis instead of a few patches at a time. Please could an admin send them a current list of all the public Miraheze wikis? --Rob Kam (talk) 20:12, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Would Special:WikiDiscover work? I'm not sure if it would be all public wikis, as some may have specifically requested to be unlisted, but since it's tied in with the Miraheze wiki creation extensions, it should be automatically updated. Selecting "uncategorised" appears to list all the wikis, regardless of category. Dmehus (talk) 20:44, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * That's multiple lists, from there it would require too much fiddling about to get a single list of all public wikis in all languages. --Rob Kam (talk) 21:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm looking now. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  22:11, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ - This doesn't need a Sysadmin. Special:WikiDiscover has an API which can be parsed easily. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  22:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. --Rob Kam (talk) 22:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

my Poem: namespace
I tried creating a Poem: namespace but it doesn't seem to be working. Example: Poem:Clouds the log Thanks. DMBFFF (talk) 18:10, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The error says your namespace uses an unknown content model. Can you go to Special:ManageWiki/namespaces on your wiki, then select the Poem namespace and ? Then check "" and try to change the content model to "Wikitext", like it should be. Then "" at tab. -- 06:04, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * "Yeah! It work! Thanks! :) DMBFFF (talk) 13:53, 10 June 2020 (UTC)"

Infobox


I want exact same infobox like Wikipedia with this light grey background box for my wiki Gyaanipedia Please help me Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 01:03, 5 June 2020 Timestamp added for Shaunak Chakraborty by Dmehus (talk) 15:10, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Did you manage to figure out a solution to your question? Also, when you sign your posts, please remember to use  to include a timestamp—a bot archives threads based on that; using only three tildes produces only your username and talk page links. Nevertheless, what you need to do is find that exact Wikipedia infobox on any Wikipedia page (there's lots of infoboxes), then click "edit" on that page, check for the name of the infobox template being transcluded, and then type in in the search box on Wikipedia, "Template:," where "Name of infobox" is the specific infobox being called for with a capitalized initial character. Once you've found that, you'll want to "edit source" or "view source" (depending on whether it's protected—and it probably is, unless you're a template editor on English Wikipedia) and check for any related templates it may be calling for, to see whether you need those too or already have those.
 * Once you've finished here, head over to Special:Export, on English Wikipedia, and enter the exact page name include namespace prefix of the template you want to export (if exporting multiple templates, you can enter one per line). You can either export the most recent revision(s), or all revisions. Since there are subtleties in CreativeCommons license versions that English Wikipedia and Miraheze use, a best practice is to export all revisions. This will generate an XML file containing all the revisions.
 * Now, on your wiki, you'll want to go to the Special:Import page, and import the XML using the file upload method (I find it easier) by locating the XML file you downloaded. For the interwiki prefix, which is used for linking to the English Wikipedia users' pages and talk pages, enter w:. Most likely, the English Wikipedia users don't have local Miraheze accounts, so you can decide whether to associate the contributors' usernames with their Miraheze usernames (if they exist locally), though there's a Miraheze Phabricator ticket with doing this ( can perhaps clarify if that bug is still outstanding), so I recommend leaving it unchecked, at least for now. I usually import it to the default locations (Template: namespace, in this case), as I can always move it without leaving a redirect afterword, but feel free to try the other options, if you prefer. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Can i be admin on Rogues Gallery of Internet Wiki

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was: moot. This doesn't need stewards' attention. If a wiki with inactive bureaucrats on that wiki are active on another wiki, one needs to try reaching out to them in some other method (i.e., on the other active wiki, on Discord, etc.) before reaching out for steward intervention.

Title. I've set up a poll and 10 people said yes. Here is the poll link: https://horriblevyonderswiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page --Just Amelia (talk) 12:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with that wiki or its local policy on administrator appointments, but global Stewards will only action requests locally when there has been no action by local bureaucrats, etc., for a "meaningful" period of time. Have you tried looking at Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat on that wiki, and contacting one of the bureaucrats to see whether your poll was in line with local policy on administrator appointments and, if so, if they can assess consensus support level and enact/not enact your appointment? That's really your first step before approaching Stewards' noticeboard. Dmehus (talk) 15:33, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I had a look at that wiki, and, though not familiar with the local appointment process policy, I see two active bureaucrats there, active in the last day or two. So, you really need to reach out to them first before reaching out to the stewards. Dmehus (talk) 15:48, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Those bcrats are all inactive. --Just Amelia (talk) 16:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing that—EijiZeBoi and Hendicted had edit activity as recently as yesterday. I've pinged them to this thread, but you might try using Special:EmailUser and e-mailing them if they aren't responding on-wiki. Hope that helps. Stewards won't likely get involved to close discussions and assess support level for at least a couple, maybe one, week(s) without local bureaucrat response. Dmehus (talk) 16:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * you're checking the wrong wiki. I am already admin on the wiki I set up the poll on. Just click on here, this is the wiki i want to adopt. --Just Amelia (talk) 04:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, this is why I was confused. You've linked to the inactive Rogues Gallery of Internet Wiki in the section header, but you set up on a poll on a different wiki where the bureaucrats are active. Still, since you're already an admin on the latter, nothing needs to be done there. In terms of Rogues Gallery of Internet Wiki, I'd say you need to wait for Dormancy Policy to kick in, which requires that the wiki have no edits and log entries (especially the no edits part) for a minimum of sixty days before it'll be posted for adoption. Or, you need to contact the bureaucrat on the other wiki (the seemingly inactive one) and, since they're the bureaucrat on the seemingly abandoned wiki, they can easily make you a bureaucrat (if they wish) and turn it over to you, skipping the need for Steward involvement. Hope that makes sense. Dmehus (talk) 14:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, i'm gonna try and contact RoboticJeffy on discord. --Just Amelia (talk) 05:16, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I've confirmed with that's okay to make CheckUser requests on SN, so I'm just replying to say that, for faster service, you may wish to send a Discord message to @stewards, citing the applicable usernames and either relevant diffs or the behavioural reasons for your suspicions to warrant a check.

Please delete assistivecybernetics.miraheze.org
No longer needed. I've deleted all pages and marked it closed. Miraheze is a great service! Cheers. Sbp (talk) 11:11, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * We're sorry to see you close down your wiki. Ordinarily, marking your wiki as 'closed' will put in place a semi-automated process for full wiki deletion; however, perhaps because you've deleted all files, including those in the MediaWiki namespace, that may have interrupted that process. Please see T5722 ticket for the updates and action(s) taken by the Steward and System Administrator team. Dmehus (talk) 01:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in this request, it has now been handled. -- Void  Whispers 02:09, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and no worries!, sorry about submitting the Phabricator tickets; it's just that I've seen Phabricator tickets for renamings and wiki deletion requests having been submitted in the past. Honestly, though, I'm wondering why we don't just create a "Stewards" task group on Miraheze Phabricator for such things. I think it would streamline the handling of these requests. Perhaps you could give consideration to it? Dmehus (talk) 03:40, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
