Interwiki link requests on my wikis.
Hi, I'd like to request several interwiki links on my wikis. I will leave it to you whether any of these should be global interwiki links, but for now, I'd like to request it locally (global interwiki links are also fine, as long as they works on my wikis). Thanks for reading.-- 19:11, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

 * I happened to find that this request made on phab after I posted this request was dealt sooner than the request I made on Stewards' noticeboard. When I requested for interwiki links for the first time, it also took more than two weeks and was once automatically archived, though the staff told me to post my requests here. I think requests of a same kind should be handled in a first come, first served manner, even if there are several channels available, and I'm a bit unhappy about it. So can you tell me what's going on?-- 04:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, terribly sorry for the delay, I started reviewing the request over three days ago (which is still later than I would have liked), and have had minimal time to set to work on this. I'll be getting it done later today. -- Void  Whispers 16:00, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Since usopedia.aioilight.space redirects to newusopedia.miraheze.org I don't think it needs adding. Otherwise, ✅ -- Void  Whispers 16:39, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks.
 * You're right about usopedia.aioilight.space. The situation has changed since I made the request (the Miraheze version was a beta then, but is now official), which is why the old URL is now a redirect. And because of this, I'd like to make interwiki prefix "usp" on akancyclopedia and piowiki updated to the new URL (newusopedia.miraheze.org). Thanks again for your help.-- 05:00, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Should I remove the nusp interwiki link, or just leave it? -- Void  Whispers 17:48, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Please just remain nusp as it is.-- 18:29, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Globally blocking/locking an LTA appeared on Usopedia
Hi, I'd like to request for a global block/lock on IPs and users that are for vandalism only, and repeating copyright infringements. The IPs are all mobile (which can change easily), and I may suggest a range block. Thanks.-- 09:30, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Special:CentralAuth/キズナアイ
 * Special:CentralAuth/雨宮天
 * Special:CentralAuth/オタサーの姫
 * 27.93.162.237
 * 27.93.161.38
 * 106.139.8.139
 * 106.139.0.91
 * THese IPs and user accounts that you mention have not vandalised any other wikis, only one. Therefore, I don't see a need to take any global action at this time (as that's what local blocks are for). You are free to range block them on your wiki locally, if you think that will stop the issue. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 10:48, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, then I'd like to request for checkuser on the three accounts above (I know you can lock them for abusing multiple accounts) and an additional account (Special:CentralAuth/チクタク時計) that appeared after I created this topic. I should also tell you that these user names indicate that they are the accounts of an known LTA in Japanese wikis (such as Wikipedia, and Uncyclopedia, etc.).-- 14:58, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Reception asked for a CU and I declined it. CU isn’t returning a lot of useful information and IP ranged based on the past results are regular broadband connections (and IPv6 too) so there’s not a lot CU is useful for. If you know they’re an LTA and they’re linked, that’s pretty much all I’d conclude from a CU. John (talk) 15:56, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I see. Thanks for your response.-- 16:01, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Now that this LTA has also appeared on the forked Japanese Uncyclopedia, it's a cross wiki issue, and I'd like to ask for a Steward to take global resoponse again.-- 07:32, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Can I have a link to the contributions on affected wikis? -- Void  Whispers 18:04, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Speaking of the Dormancy Policy, I would like to make my Wiki immune to that
Hello, I said in my wiki request that my wiki is meant to document the laws of the Crazybloxian Empire. Speaking of the Dormancy Policy, I would like to make it immune to deletion for the following reason:

Used to display info that can take multiple months to edit, write, check, and process

Thank you very much, said Fair002 in a statement. (talk) 14:21, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

E-hem!!!! ARENT THESE STEWARDS PAYING ATTENTION?


 * Sorry for no response. It is unclear from what you are saying that you need an exemption since it says "edit, write, check, and proces [sic]" meaning that you will be actively working on it. A dormancy exemption can be granted in the case that you will not be working on the wiki for long periods of times. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:11, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

I meant to say I want it immune because I dictated in my wiki request that it would display Crazybloxian Empire laws in full-text. Full-text laws take a lot of time to write. I meant the reason for making it immune is because the only edits I will make on it take several months to process. Full-text laws are SUPER-LONG. They take several pages. So can you please make it immune to the Dormancy Policy? Thank you!

Request to global block 구루트
Contributions on 루비위키 (freevandal.miraheze.org)

They uploaded (currently deleted), an inappropriate picture, inserted it to 틀:333 (currently reverted and deleted revision), and put    in many pages. This is a violation of Terms of Use, since it prohibits posting illegal contents like that.

Therefore, I request to global block 구루트 | T | C | CentralAuth - PlavorSeol | T | C 06:28, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Vandalism on multiple (two) wikis, therefore ✅. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:29, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Interwiki map request
Please add an interwiki to the Wikimedia Incubator (https://incubator.wikimedia.org/). We're thinking it should probably look something like, so that there is no mistaking it with the incubator we are starting to create here (at https://incubator.miraheze.org/). Thanks. StevenJ81 (talk) 22:57, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't see a reason it could not be added to the master interwiki map, but at minimum please add it to our local interwiki map at incubatorwiki. We are creating a new "Incubator Plus", intending to replace (more or less) the current one at https://incubatorplus.wikia.com. But for a great variety of reasons, we will want easy interwiki access to WM Incubator.
 * ✅ MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 01:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. (But please remove that trailing slash character.) StevenJ81 (talk) 04:38, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:18, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Request to global block 모스망가
Could you global block 모스망가 | T | C | CentralAuth who vandalized a lot by moving many pages in 루비위키? It seems they created account for vandalism-only purpose. - PlavorSeol | T | C 16:56, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks like a vandalism-only account. Locked. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 17:18, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

CheckUser request
Would you like to check if Admlnistrator | T | C | CentralAuth | CheckUser is a sock puppet of 모스망가 | T | C | CentralAuth | CheckUser? They vandalized on 루비위키 by moving pages as 모스망가 did. - PlavorSeol | T | C 14:50, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Requesting non-deletion of OpenHatch wiki
Hi Stewards!

I've been importing the OpenHatch wiki to Miraheze, for the main purpose of keeping it online as an archive as the non-profit OpenHatch has wound down operations. You can read more about our history growing open source here: https://blog.openhatch.org/2017/celebrating-our-successes-and-winding-down-as-an-organization/

I'd love to keep our wiki online for posterity, so that people who are trying to run similar organizations in the future can use our information as a resource. The only edits I foresee in the future are related to updating historical information. The wiki is likely to go dormant over the next few monnths, but my preference is to keep it online even if it does go dormant.

I'm in the #miraheze channel on Freenode, and intend to be responsive to questions from Miraheze staff. Let me know what you think!
 * Sorry for the late response. I've given your wiki a Dormancy exemption. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:21, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Delete wiki
Hello! I would like to completely delete these two test wikis without adoption option. https://virtualcommunity.miraheze.org/wiki/Hlavná_stránka https://thisreality.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Thank you Dami (talk) 18:27, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, this request has been moved to Phabricator as stewards cannot delete wikis. Amanda Catherine (talk) 18:42, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, out of curiosity, may I ask, why are you requesting deletion? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Because the only thing that forced me to continue the wiki was an infobox that does not work. Unfortunately, no one was able to help me. Anyway, thank you to all who helped me somehow. For a very long time, I wanted to have my own wiki with functional infoboxes, but we probably can not have everything. Thank you Dami (talk) 11:09, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you still need help for your infobox? I'm sure someone will be able to help you. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 11:55, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'll be grateful if someone helps me. But I still ask for a complete wipe of these wikis. When someone finds a solution, I'll ask for one new one. Dami (talk) 12:41, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok. ^ Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 13:26, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I've mostly resolved the issue by simply removing  from the template that was throwing a Lua error on thisrealitywiki. The documentation will have to be accessed manually, but the template appears to be functional. --  Void  Whispers 19:33, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Making Ansaikuropedia and Usopedia exempted from the Dormancy Policy
Hi, I'd like to request two of the wikis I'm involved as a bureaucrat/admin to be exempted from the Dormancy Policy.

Internet slandering
Hello, I would like to complain to users of the wiki Nonsensopedia: Sir Polskacafe, Mr obornik and Michsar for publicly slandering me on the internet. These users have written NonAnalysis [] about my work [] where I am insulting with my nickname (Inferno82) without any scruples. The slogans in the style of "Have a fucking schizophrenia" are there on the agenda. Unfortunately, none of the administrations has deleted this personal attack, so I am asking for help here. I am demanding to remove this work and to remove the permissions and blocking these users for publicly defaming me on the internet and not removing this work. Nobody even apologized for this creation. By law, I could accuse these users of the abuse on the Internet. I am deeply disappointed by the local community and I would like to ask for help here. My discussion is here [] Inferno82 (talk) 20:59, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * To start by picking a nit, written text is not slander but it might be libel. But only if it harms your reputation, and that is pretty hard to do to an anonymous wiki user operating under a nickname.  It could harm your reputation within Nonsensopedia.  However, smooth dealings among wiki users is generally one of the jobs of that wiki's Admins.  Meta is a separate wiki (a separate "community") whose only task relative to Nonsensopedia is to keep it operational.  Meta people are unlikely to take sides or intervene into the Nonsensopedia community to enforce standards of behavior, unless the behavior poses risks of getting Miraheze in trouble with the Law.  Also, I'm pretty sure that deciding who is right would require that the interlopers read Polish.   01:12 21-Aug-2018
 * There currently appears to be a deletion process open on the pages in question. I'd be more tempted to let that run its course as opposed to do anything more, especially since those pages seem to be leaning towards unanimous deletion (correct me if I'm wrong). -- Void  Whispers 02:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * If you believe that this may violate the Code of Conduct you can send an email to the Code of Conduct/Commission and we will review it. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also: Nonsensopedia is a humor wiki, and "Have a fucking schizophrenia" is not a serious threat. Please re-read and consider whether the whole thing was a crude attempt at humor.   13:17 21-Aug-2018
 * My two cents, if you do not feel the community's internal disciplinary procedures or protocol for dealing with cases like these, we encourage you to send an email to the CoC Commission (see Reception's message above) so that we (the CoC Commission members) may take a look! &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  16:32, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Speaking of editors on mobile
Speaking of Wikipedia, in which normal editing screens (non-courier) redirect to the courier editor, how do I recreate that one? For example if I edit a template on Wikipedia but takes me to the normal editor on mobile without the courier one it automatically redirects me to the courier editor. How to recreate that?

Request for permission to my subaccount, The Pioneer
Hi, due to the following reasons, I'd like to have the same permission I have as 開拓者 for my subaccount, The Pioneer. My activities using the subaccount will be limited to cases above, and I would like to ask for permission if allowed. Thanks.-- 07:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Wikis could ban my account 開拓者 because of my non-English name (which actually happened on the weather wiki and could happen on other wikis in the future). In such wikis, I can work as The Pioneer instead, with my English name.
 * 2) Being a flooder for hours as I did yesterday can restrict my actions severely (especially on Meta). Thus, I'd like to use the account The Pioneer as the flooder account, when necessary and if allowed, so that I can keep my main account 開拓者 available for other activities (such as creating a wiki).
 * P. S. If having the complete permissions I have as User:開拓者 isn't allowed, the minimal set of permission I'd ask for User:The Pioneer will be my permissions as a CVT and as an interwiki admin, which are both directly related to the issues above.-- 07:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, the first point is a bit of a non-issue, if that's local policy, it's best to bring it up with local admins, but if they're active, you probably won't need to do much in the way of CVT work anyway. For the second case, I don't see a problem with allowing users an account with elevated permissions for use when flooding. If that is the case, I don't see the need for more permissions than the local tool set. -- Void  Whispers 19:26, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Images imported on nonciclopedia.miraheze.org are attributed to "Maintenance script"
I know, this happens because of how the upload script works, but not only it messes the edit count of users, it also infringes the CC-BY-SA license they're under since nobody can see who created them. Wouldn't it better to first upload the pages in the "File" namespace (which include histories) and then upload the actual file?

Proposal to change MediaWiki:Blockedtext slightly
I would like to make the block notice stand out more just like on Wikipedia. At the moment, I feel that the blockedtext doesn't stand out enough. I am proposing something like this: <div id="mw-blocked-text" style="margin:2 auto 6px auto;padding: 0.2em; width:100%; box-sizing: border-box; border:6px solid #000; "> Your username or IP address has been blocked from editing.

The block was made by $1. The reason given is $2.


 * Start of block: $8
 * Expiration of block: $6
 * Intended blockee: $7

You can contact $1 or another administrator to discuss the block. You cannot use the "email this user" feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is $3, and the block ID is #$5. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

I would like to know what you think. I am testing this on my own Wiki and looking into the blockedtext. If you think this can still be improved, please let me know. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:55, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It didn't work as all the tabs and the website interface came into the block notice. Can you please suggest something. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:06, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I use a near exact copy of Wikipedia’s blockedtext, except the actual text has been modified for my wiki, and the box about the notice being unclear underneath the main message has been removed. My version is available here and it works just fine for me (although I should also note that I’ve directly imported Wikipedia’s Common.css onto my wiki, which may be required in order for things like this to work properly). Amanda Catherine (talk) 00:59, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

 * What Amanda says is not correct, as we have an extension (MirahezeMagic) which deals with this exact thing. If you would like it to be changed, maybe propose another version, and see what the other users think? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 18:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

I also read the contents of the deleted pages you created, and found that it's little more than whining about a person, and that the version of the page from September was a borderline Content Policy violation. At this point, I'm going to advise you not to obsess over PKMN or GethN7 on Miraheze. It will get you nowhere. -- Void  Whispers 19:59, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Why is no one paying attention to my wiki request

Wiki set to private, vandalized by anonymous
Even if I set Nonciclopedia as private since the very beginning, today an anonymous user vandalized the home page. How is this even possible? Wedhro (talk) 20:21, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The home page is always visible to all users, I'd suggest protecting it. -- Void  Whispers 21:54, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * But private shouldn't mean nobody can edit anything? Maybe I misunderstood, I'm just asking for clarification. Wedhro (talk) 22:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The current way we make wikis private is simply by removing the ability to read from all users, and only allowing certain groups to be able to read. It does not affect editing, except that you cannot edit a page you cannot read. If you want, you can restrict editing as well using Special:ManageWikiPermissions. -- Void  Whispers 22:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, now it's clearer.Wedhro (talk) 07:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

my wiki, indytechfix.miraheze.org, seems to have disappeared completely.
There's no longer even any record of it in my contribution log. I'm in a bit of a panic. Thanks for looking into it! Indytechfix (talk) 14:32, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I am sorry to see that your Wiki has disappeared. I will take a look into it. The URL is giving an error 404. Maybe a steward could have accidentally deleted it for some reason? Pkbwcgs (talk) 14:58, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no log for the deletion of a Wiki. Maybe, it was deleted because it was closed and nobody requested your Wiki to be adopted. A steward could help out here but it was probably deleted due to your inactivity. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:06, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

I recall last editing it maybe a month ago. Kind of hard to prove with all of my contribution logs disappeared too. Is there any way a wiki deletion can be undone? Indytechfix (talk) 15:11, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * This is odd for two reasons. The first being that it was deleted on October 6th, in accordance with the Dormancy Policy, after having verified that there had been no edits in over 180 days. The second being that this is the third or fourth time that someone has reported this kind of error with a wiki deleted on the 6th. I am sorry, but unless you can supply us with a backup of the wiki yourself, our backups only extend to October 7th. -- Void  Whispers 15:35, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the only "backups" I have are a couple pages that I had printed out in hard copy. No digital backups of the wiki in any way.  I guess I'll just have to absorb this loss and do my own hosting going forward. Thanks for doing what you can. Indytechfix (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

What’s up with my wiki
I’ve been inactive for a long time. How come my wiki needs login to read? Can you ensure people can still read even when logged out? It’s meant to be a public wiki.

 * From what I've seen, basically all the checkboxes in Special:ManageWikiPermissions/* became unticked. That's why MacFan4000 had to re-tick those checkboxes. Paladox created a maintenance script that repaired the damage. --Idris (talk) 03:10, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Abuse filter log
On the abuse filter log, User:Quality, User:Maacco, and User:Maac seemed to be the same person that intend to post advertising materials on User:Abbs page, I tried to tag the user page for deletion but has been triggered by the abuse filter, request for the check. <b style="color:red">S</b><b style="color:orange">A</b><b style="color:gold"> 1</b><b style="color:green">3</b><b style="color:blue"> B</b><b style="color:indigo">r</b><b style="color:violet">o</b> (talk) 12:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I tagged User:Maacco for deletion. The thing is, you need to have more than 30 edits on Miraheze to edit another user's userpage. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:06, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, you only have 22 edits and if you have under 30 edits and attempt to edit another user's userpage, it will trigger the edit filter which is what happened in your case. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:12, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. :) I am aware that edit count, only the thing is they seemed to be the same spammer, request the CU to strike down the spammer maybe preferable. <b style="color:red">S</b><b style="color:orange">A</b><b style="color:gold"> 1</b><b style="color:green">3</b><b style="color:blue"> B</b><b style="color:indigo">r</b><b style="color:violet">o</b> (talk) 13:46, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

 * No one's getting blocked for making a YouTube video. Granted, I haven't bothered looking at the video, but if we upheld that kind standard, we'd end up blocking a lot more than just Villager.
