Stewards' noticeboard

Why is FuturisticHub forbidden on Terrible TV Shows?

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Related to this close, Rotten Websites Wiki needs to clarify that fetish art is not prohibited by Miraheze guidelines. Any prohibition on fetish art is a local wiki policy or guideline. Dmehus (talk) 16:08, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

} I remember when Terrible TV Shows wiki used to have page on FuturisticHub because of his fetish videos, and I decided to make fun of him, yet it's very biased and would cause drama. I apologize for causing drama to FuturisticHub just because of his fetish videos, especially the infamous NEEDED IN MINECRAFT video.

Anyway, you requested Terrible TV Shows to forbid anything about FuturisticHub. But why? Maxkatzur (talk) 11:48, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this is rather a question for Terrible TV Shows wiki. I for one am not aware of any request from Stewards that would 'forbid' content about FuturisticHub, assuming the "you" meant Stewards. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 16:03, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd check with . He was the last person if I remember to review that content. To be honest, it wouldn't have been a bad idea if he did. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  17:31, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of a FuturisticHub page on . I'm aware of a similarly named former page on another wiki, though, which Stewards opted to remove as it contained information contrary to Content Policy (namely, unsourced, defamatory, wholly negative, and potentially libelous information). Can you give us a few more details on the page on this wiki? Dmehus (talk) 17:36, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Prior to its closure on FANDOM, there was a page on Terrible TV Shows wiki criticizing FuturisticHub, the Minecraft animator infamous for his fetish videos and the now-infamous NEEDED IN MINECRAFT video. Maxkatzur (talk) 05:33, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * @Dmehus First of, yes one of you did delete the TerribleTVShows wiki article giving the same reasons as you cited above for that "other" article on that "other" wiki you mention. You say that specific article was violating the coc based on "unsourced, defamatory, wholly negative, and potentially libelous information" and all the while it did not do any of that (Assuming that using archived links from archive.org and screenshots CLEARLY showing someone's bad behavior is not enough for your sourcing checks). Additionally, some Steward removed the article featured on TerribleTVShows for the exact same reason, in spite of the fact that everything noted on the article could be found on the con-artist FuturisticHub's Youtube channel, yes absolutely all of it. Moreover, that TerribleTVShows article only covered a part of FuturisticHub's crankery, that was fairly innocent. The only thing you could say about both articles being in violation of your coc, if you want to stretch the pedantry further out, is that both articles were being wholly negative (At the same time, what good could you write about douchebags? Hypothetically, if any article on Hitler was made on Miraheze, it would immediately violate your code of conduct because it is wholly negative, how's that fair).
 * That also dawned on me that you bunch removed 2 articles based on a pretending-victim which did not violate any of your coc (In fact, I am gonna add that they were allowed on each respective wiki for a duration of 1 year and a half ) and then did absolutely no mediation with anyone, instead you immediately pulled the plug out of nowhere. None of that is transparent either, gossiping about whether an article should get removed on Discord only let's people who DO HAVE DISCORD see what's being said there and either take that as a warning for what's to come or make their case against the decision. You strive so much to be like Wikipedia, start off by doing actual AfDs publicly on Miraheze instead of gossiping between yourselves on Discord, because that system is neither transparent nor fair for any of your users.
 * And with all honesty, why do you listen to that Sociopathic Mythomaniac? He figuratively tried to clean his ass off after harassing a dozen of people online, all of them came forward to state the very same thing: They were harassed by him, they were blackmailed by him, they received fraudulent lawsuits and had to file an anti-SLAPP back, etc. FuturisticHub already claims to be a woman called Holly, [only because of a dispute https://www.engadget.com/2016-04-04-youtube-channel-dispute-20m-award.html]. He lost his Youtube channel, but his wife re-integrated it by claiming that she owns it when she barely does anything on it. When you claim to be someone you are not, that already is a reason to take what you say with a grain of salt. I am gonna ask that right now and right there, why did you not verify the claims yourselves instead of screaming "ZOMG DEFAMATION!" and remove 2 articles that were fine before that guy decides to show up to smooth-talk you? And when I am saying "you", I am talking of all the Stewards running this site, not just you Dmehus. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 17:13, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Doug wasn't really around in 2019 when it happened, so I don't really see any reason to flock on a dead topic, even though some of your points you raised here do provide some good pointers. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:32, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I feel you, Douglace doesn't seem very professional, like he let's DarkMatterMan4500 harass me instead of banning him. He should step down because he is an incompetent Steward. Gay Socrates (talk) 21:16, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Excuse me? I wasn't harassing you in any way. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:54, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * And another thing, that message I left you on your talk page wasn't even harassment in any context. How was my reminder to you to refrain from casting aspersions even remotely close to being called harassment? If I was harassing you (which I wasn't by the way), then I wouldn't have sent you this message on your talk page and instead say very nasty things and say very awful things about you. For the record, I was only criticizing you and I expected you to be, well, open to taking it, not even harassing you in that sort of manner. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:58, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Harassment, noun : "The act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands. The purposes may vary, including racial prejudice, personal malice, an attempt to force someone to quit a job or grant sexual favors, apply illegal pressure to collect a bill, or merely gain sadistic pleasure from making someone fearful or anxious." - https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/harassment

You told that to me once here, that was far enough, but you decided to stalk me off-wiki because I was questioning your involvement on Miraheze. That IS harassment. Please, for all intent and purpose get the hell outta here once and for all and never talk to me again wacko. Gay Socrates (talk) 12:45, 9 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Except I wasn't stalking you in any way, and please cease from casting aspersions, as that's not going to help your case, and false accusations won't get you anywhere. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:48, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It is not an aspersion, but a fact that you harassed me, it is the legal definition of harassment in fact. Mini-modding on behalf of the admins won't get you anywhere, in fact, they are too lazy to ban you for going on your way to interact with me repeatedly when that is neither wanted nor warranted. In other words: Fuck off. Gay Socrates (talk) 12:55, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This has gone on far enough, and I've had just about enough of your insults. I don't think you get the entire scope or purpose of this platform, and going as far as to not dropping the stick, casting aspersions, and refusing to get the point. We're done with this conversation. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:58, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Don't ever talk to me again. Gay Socrates (talk) 12:59, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Could someone close up this discussion? Periodically, it went off topic, and a user has only came here to spoil up trouble in this thread, and I don't wish for this thread to keep going like this. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:49, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Why are pages criticising fetish art not allowed? Example: Rotten Websites Wiki

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Maxkatzur is thanked for bringing this issue to the attention of Stewards, but fetish art is not, explicitly, prohibited by Content Policy. If  claims in their local wiki rules that it contravenes Miraheze guidelines, this needs to be corrected, so, by way of this close, I'm pinging DarkMatterMan4500, DeciduousWater534, or MarioMario456 to clarify the wiki's rules to specify that fetish art is prohibited by local policies, not Content Policy. Dmehus (talk) 16:04, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

So I came with forbidden page example on Rotten Websites Wiki 'fetish art'. The reason states that is against Miraheze's content policy. So, what does violate content policy and does it causes drama? Maxkatzur (talk) 05:29, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Maxkatzur Fetish art pages aren't prohibited by Miraheze's Content Policy. It's possible  has a local content policy that prohibits such pages, but if that's the case, some clarification is needed in terms of that wiki amending its rules to clarify that it isn't against Miraheze's Content Policy but rather the wiki's local content policy. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Dmehus (talk) 13:10, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * From RottenSitesWiki:
 * "Fetish art: Against Miraheze's guidelines ."
 * So you are telling me they are blatantly lying? They probably added that after one of you removed one of their articles without any preceeding warning.
 * And because your system is not transparent at all, it is impossible to know who exactly removed that article for which reason, since the wiki's logs are unrecoverable due to being hidden deep beneath a thousand more logs.
 * As I said previously, start doing AfDs because that lack of transparency is staggering. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 22:54, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I did see that on, and it did raise my eyebrow, as fetish art, broadly speaking, is not prohibited by Content Policy and certainly not by Terms of Use. I suspect it is a misunderstanding on the part of Rotten Websites Wiki's local administrators in terms of what our global policies do not allow. As to your suggestion of having "AfDs" for suppressions or other content removals, I'm afraid that's a very Wikipedia-specific function, and note that it would also be not be appropriate as requests for oversight are done through private channels. The same is actually true of the Wikimedia wikis&mdash;that is to say, requests to remove personally identifying information, potentially libelous information, or grossly offensive content are dealt with through by private channels, by e-mail to Stewards or by direct message on IRC to a Steward. Dmehus (talk) 23:48, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You suspect? And what if you were wrong, what if one of the Steward did delete that article because it was covering fetish art. You will never know because you bunch can't program some sort of overseer logging system that would allow you to see what they do on other wikis. This would effectively help you catch rogue overseers who abuse their powers if hypothetically speaking they were on Miraheze.
 * "requests for oversight are done through private channels" Thank you for confirming that your wiki farm was neither transparent nor fair for your users. It should not be that way since there is no way for anyone to know whether they have articles that actually infringe your coc or not. This system can be abused by third parties who don't like being criticized.
 * "personally identifying information" Does a selfie the person took and published themselves on the internet count? What about public figures like Lady Gaga, Barack Obama and Arnold Schwarzenegger? What about photographs published onto and approved on Wikimedia Commons? Your coc is up to interpretation, that's all it is a heap of worthlessness.
 * "grossly offensive content" What if that was the reason why that specific article was removed? What if the fetish itself discussed was grossly offensive. However, since one of you removed it immediately, no one else can be the judge of it. It appears that you do not know yourself whether that coc applies to something to begin with, this is inconsistent. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:49, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Successful election on
There is no active bureaucrat for promotion on that wiki, so I'm calling the stewards for help. Promote me to bureaucrat + sysop on  with the reason being "successful election on a wiki with no active bureaucrats". The proof is: https://horriblemusicandsongs.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=2888

— Mario Mario  456  22:29, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't see a consensus for promotion at Talk:Main Page, as I explained to you on Discord. I'll work on closing the discussion this weekend, so that the wiki can move forward with potential alternatives for consideration. Dmehus (talk) 22:40, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Then look at this and this. — Mario Mario  456  22:58, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * and : I posted the election results here: https://horriblemusicandsongs.miraheze.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#Results_of_the_election%3A MatthewThePrep (talk) 20:33, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * MatthewThePrep Thank you for your follow up, and I'll try and close the local election request within the next few days, but there's not a priority. In any case, those are off-wiki election results, which are procedurally invalid and won't be accepted as part of my close. I'll only consider comments posted on-wiki up to and prior to the point at which closure of the election was called for above (21 May 2021). Dmehus (talk) 20:37, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, we'll need the poll extension enabled on that wiki, so that way we could do an on-wiki election. MatthewThePrep (talk) 20:43, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The concerns expressed thus far concern the candidate, on the one hand, but also concern the direction of the wiki, so I think if another election is the outcome, it's got to include possible mergers with one or more existing wikis, and Stewards, in absence of the local bureaucrat, will need to advertise the new election process via a sitenotice on the wiki. Dmehus (talk) 20:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * So, how will this work? MatthewThePrep (talk) 20:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Can you shut down Controversial Wikis & Users Wiki?
If you want to know why I'm asking this. Yes, I know you guys are aware of this site but I want to tell you guys that this wiki is becoming the new Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki as there's a bunch of pages on that site that violates the CoC. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you might wanna look here, so that's why I felt like it should shut down since it's becoming the new Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki. I felt like you should take a lot at this site carefully and you'll see what I mean, thanks. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 14:50, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Embedding wiki on our web
Hi there,

We at https://kelevar.miraheze.org/wiki/Hlavn%C3%AD_strana would like to show the wiki as embedded site on our main site (so users are not directly linked to the wiki) - http://kelevar.cz

https://puu.sh/HKCqo/3de174cc9c.png

When we were using self hosted wiki we were able to embed our wiki there. I don't know why its not working but I would ask you to change that so our users can directly use wiki on our site. LaboTec (talk) 09:02, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why you'd need users to use your Miraheze-hosted wiki embedded as part of your main website or how your previous self-hosted wiki was configured, but this would need a few more details on your configuration. You should be able to show your wiki in an iframe or regular frame, though users actually editing the wiki may load it in a new tab. If it's just to present a common brand for your website, why not request a custom domain for your wiki, such as ? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:59, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Restoration of NoelSimsSandbox
Hello, I would like to ask if you could restore NoelSimsSandbox for me, because it was deleted because of inactivity (is there a way to disable it?) I also might want to import my FANDOM articles to Miraheze if it's possible NoelSims (talk) 14:25, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * NoelSims ✅. Dmehus (talk) 15:54, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Can you please re-enable these wikis?

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Dmehus has clearly indicated that the request will not be undertaken and there is no use in continuing this discussion any further and people repeating themselves. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 10:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

I want to make archives of every page on Atrocious YouTubers Wiki, Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki, and a few other closed reception wikis. After my archives are done, I will leave those wikis in the dust forever. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 09:01, 30 May 2021 (UTC)


 * ❌ per my comments elsewhere, in multiple locations, to you, as these wikis were closed for systemic, unremediated Content Policy violations, firstly, and Code of Conduct violations on the part of wiki contributors, which local administrators did not resolve. There has been plenty of time for users to make archives of these wikis and, indeed, they were likely included in wiki XML dumps posted to The Internet Archive. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 15:59, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But they contain pages and log histories that have no archives of them. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 16:19, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, for one thing, an XML dump wouldn't include log histories. There's no need to maintain an archive of content which wholly or substantially contravened Content Policy or, in the case of log summaries (including block summaries), the Code of Conduct. Dmehus (talk) 16:23, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But deleted pages (before backup) cannot be imported. I know that there are some pages deleted before backup (such as Nicobbq's page on AYTW). Plus, I have to read pages, but I can't because I'm not an admin on any of the said wikis. As for log summaries, I would like to archive for memories. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 17:22, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * What memories? These wikis were closed and made private before your account existed globally on Miraheze. Did you used to use prior account(s)? If so, which one(s)? Dmehus (talk) 04:18, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I remember visiting AYTW before its closure. But I did not have any accounts at the time. Lastly, I didn't use any accounts before my current account. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 04:55, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright, that's fine. Thank you. In any case, this ❌, for the reason(s) articulated above, as the wikis will not be hosted on Miraheze. XML dumps are available on The Internet Archive from immediately before the wikis were closed and made private, should you wish to have a personal archive for historical posterity or self-host them (and assume all liability). Dmehus (talk) 05:03, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But still, deleted pages do not have any backups of them and I need to save them to the Wayback Machine. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 11:18, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The decision to close those wikis by the stewards is final. They aren't going to reopen them for any reason, and to be fair, I don't blame them for not wanting to reopen them. Those wikis were laden with what were essentially hate pages that were filled with unsourced claims and nonconstructive and borderline, if not outright destructive criticism, and they were causing non-stop drama and other issues both on-site and off-site. The admins on those wikis had plenty of time to fix the issues and concerns the stewards had with the wikis, but they never got around to it and, thus, the wikis were closed for it. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 16:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The exact reason is, is that some images may not have been backed up properly and I have to visit those wikis to re-upload broken files. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 18:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hrm, well, that's a fairly common problem with all archived websites on the Internet Archive. In these cases, though, that's problematic from a couple perspectives, as either the images were non-free images uploaded without proper attribution and licensing information (in short, they were copyright violations) or they were screenshots of what users said on social media to mock, ridicule, humiliate, or otherwise disparage them (in short, they violated Content Policy and we should not aid in resurrecting them). So, no, ❌, sorry. Dmehus (talk) 19:33, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But I don't know how to import backups. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 20:56, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That takes very little time to look that up on Google.
 * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_external_content MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 22:59, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * But please by no means resurrect Atrocious Youtubers wiki, it was shit. Even by comparison, Encyclopedia Dramatica would be a better source of information than that non-contextualized, bullet list hell. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 23:03, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Still though, I need to archive them to provide evidence that they used to be there. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 07:03, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No means no. The wikis are not going to be reopened by the stewards, not even for archiving. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 14:13, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

 * But I still need read access to know dumpnames, which may require me to visit Recent Changes section. Plus, Wayback Machine can delete dumps that violate their policy. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 16:49, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Another reason why I want those wikis to be re-enabled is that I have to export pages as I cannot  them there as I don't have   rights to do so. SPEEDYBEAVER (talk) 08:49, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * We understand that you really want the wiki to be reopened but as you have been told before this will simply not happen. Many users have requested it and each time it has been declined, this time has been no different and Dmehus has made it clear that he will not be reopening it, adding 'extra reasons' doesn't change that. We have simply no interest in reopening these wikis and facilitating exporting pages from them. Backups of these wikis are available on the Internet Archive and you can get anything that you need from there. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 10:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

If it's not obvious by now, Julia Bevilac created a new account to evade blocks. Could a Steward do something about this and lock both of their accounts up? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Another leftover username policy violating username that needs locking:

 * Tassista del Panda Rotturedicazzo a Wedhro

I didn't even realize that this username even existed, as this one IS just a leftover long-term abusing username. Can it be locked at this time? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:19, 31 May 2021 (UTC)


 * ✅. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 19:29, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, in addition to these following accounts I found just by going through a random page's history: DioSucchiaPeni, (which literally translates to God Sucking Penis via Google Translate, sorry), Rayo Wedhrecano (a possible impersonation of Wedhro), Democrazia Cristiana - Lista Puzza87 Pompini Per Tutti (translates to
 * Democrazia Cristiana - List Puzza87 Blowjob For All), Loppacci (just a generic long-term abuser that appears to have been missed for so long), Futtu Futtu Futu Futtu Futù (another generic LTA from Nonciclopedia, again), Puzza Puzza Puzza Puzza Che Puzza (I don't think I should even repeat myself, it's just another LTA), Arinat (Yep, it's another LTA), and I've saved the best for last: Kus78231er. Basically, they're all long-term abusers that should've been locked like ages ago. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:46, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. I've got some non-Miraheze work to do at the moment, so will leave those for Reception123 or another Steward to review and action as appropriate. Dmehus (talk) 19:48, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good to me. Either him or maybe even or another fellow Steward could do that for you. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:00, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Question
Can a steward help me remove comic book navigational boxes from articles here https://dcmarvelcomics.miraheze.org. --Iron Sword 23 (talk) 19:46, 31 May 2021 (UTC)


 * So, this doesn't really need a Steward or Global Sysop. I'd suggest asking in on IRC (  on Discord) for willing editors to help you remove navboxes from articles. Dmehus (talk) 19:50, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Question
Is this username Rhino1 impersonating a admin here?--Iron Sword 23 (talk) 14:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I asked that very same question on Discord via this morning as well. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:57, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks to be good-faith, but the "Rhino" and "1" are quite confusingly similar. Still, "rhino" is a common name. We could possibly request they request a rename, but I'm not sure. Reception123, what do you think? Dmehus (talk) 14:58, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive vandalism-only account that needs locking:

 * Hello. I'm a bureaucrat of osaindex. First, I want to say thank you so much for reporting toxic user (his name means Vandal Virus in English). However, when I blocked 반달 바이러스 in osaindex, User:오솔이 says that he was auto-banned because of that. 오솔이 claims that 반달 바이러스 is his family member and demanding that he should be unblocked. I don't know about Miraheze's policy on vandal's family members, so I would appreciate it if you take look at this user according to the policy. --재미재미 (talk) 06:34, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, you're very welcome. If that user comes back using a sockpuppet account, please do let a Steward or Global Sysop know, and they'll take action immediately. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:31, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * He's suspicious enough, but there's no physical evidence. May I ask how can I call sysop? --재미재미 (talk) 12:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * A Steward has this tool called the checkuser tool, and this is only limited to sysadmins and Stewards (exclusively, since they're the ones with the information and cannot reveal it in public mainly for privacy reasons), and what this tool can do is sniff out sockpuppets, fight vandalism and spam-bots. The frequent amount of spam-bots and vandals (with the use of sockpuppets) have been rampant since the foundation of this website. If you need assistance from a Steward, you can feel free to do it either here, or by joining Miraheze's server on Discord with the use of via IRC.

Some disturbing wikis I found
I was looking through Special:WikiDiscover and I found a disturbing wiki named “Real Children Feet Wiki”. I searched through the wiki while logged out and I found out that it is almost exactly what the name implies, but it is actually called “Live Action Children's Feet Wiki”. But it gets weirder. I looked for the founder and looked in his CentralAuth, and tons of similarly named wikis popped up, all of which he appeared to be a bureaucrat on. See Special:CentralAuth/DeltaRuneFan2001. I didn’t think it was necessary to visit the rest of the wikis. I really don’t think this is constructive content, and I think this definitely violates the Content Policy. Please close the wiki and look through the user’s CentralAuth that I linked above. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:28, 1 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Not only that, if you look at their contributions on this wiki, the user admitted to them being f*t*sh wikis. Yeah... Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I checked that out myself and that is clearly violating their terms of use, under article 7 "Under no circumstances are you permitted to submit information to Miraheze which is illegal to display, distribute, or disseminate in the United Kingdom.". You should try to spam their email until they actually do something because they don't seem to care at all here. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 11:38, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Spamming their emails until they do something isn't going to do anything, and will only add more work for them than what is intended. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:40, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What makes it illegal in the United Kingdom, though? While I've not yet looked at this wiki in question. We do have a lot of "drawn feet" and related wikis. Those sort of wikis are generally fine. Dmehus (talk) 13:24, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Exploitation of children. Additionally, this is morally reprehensible since it gives a channel that lets Pedophiles cater to their sexual urges. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 17:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah. It isn't just that one wiki though, if you look at the wiki founder's CentralAuth that I linked above there are a few other wikis of such nature, focusing on socks, shoes, and feet for some reason, so I don’t think that these wikis are appropriate, as they are, like I said, f*t*sh wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:57, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The founder, DeltaRuneFan2001 doesn't even seem to be active on Miraheze anymore. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:59, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Fast-track deletion of a wiki originally intended to harass people.
Please remove my wiki ASAP, its sole intention was to upset people and was sheer libel, "satire" or not, towards groups of mentally ill individuals and I regret ever creating it. JimFlannigan (talk) 15:34, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Which wiki? Dmehus (talk) 15:39, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think he's talking about the Peachriots Wiki. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:56, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I am. https://thepeachriots.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page I regret making this diet Encyclopedia Dramatica. It's one thing to make silly things about fictional characters and celebrities, but common individuals who did nothing wrong I grimace at the mere concept of continuing putting such ridiculousness into search engine results. JimFlannigan (talk) 23:18, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, JimFlannigan, that's what I thought. In fact, this wiki had a number of Content Policy issues, and we were in the process of deciding on next steps, so the fact you've requested deletion is quite helpful. As such, this is ✅. Dmehus (talk) 23:27, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Close wiki request
Hi. I want to close this wiki, the Roblox Rise of Nations wiki, as it is unofficial, is clearly a copycat of the real Roblox Rise of Nations wiki on FANDOM, and is currently run by RealKnockout, a former bureaucrat that is banned on our wiki for several reasons. Most of the pages are copied word for word (even some of the code is not working), and the Miraheze wiki was created on May 2021, but the FANDOM wiki was created around September 2019. Many of our staff, including the current bureaucrat of the fandom wiki, ZackRON00, gave me approval to write this message, and you can ask them for more questions. Thank you and have a nice day. TheRichSeries (talk) 17:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * First of all, the wiki has had the pages imported correctly from the Fandom version, correctly linking to the source wiki which, in turn, links to the source wiki's contributors. If I'm being honest, it sounds like you might be active on the Fandom wiki and disappointed the wiki has been forked on Miraheze. I would also remind you of Code of Conduct in your references to other users. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is correct. Although ZackRON00 created the wiki, RealKnockout now controls it and its content, and we want it taken down because Zack has abandoned this project, and it has ended up in the his hands, without our permission. We're now focusing on building the main wiki over on FANDOM. Thank you. TheRichSeries (talk) 18:40, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I find it strange how you're reporting that wiki, considering how a user was created for the purpose of attacking that individual. This makes me think that there's something sketchy going on here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, Rabby here, I'm also an administrator at the FANDOM wiki. And well we have no affiliation with that account from last time we checked, it's probably one member of our community going to attack him, we don't really want to do that. We just want the wiki shut down. Rabby (talk) 18:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Alrighty I logged in. Rabby (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * As long as it's not on FANDOM, there's really nothing else that could or needs to be done here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by nothing can be done? They are literally stealing the articles from the FANDOM wiki.
 * From what we've seen Realknockout just wants to steal the wiki and optimize it for Miraheze later. There is LITERALLY a user that has 1 edit saying, "Port from Fandom, will optimize for miraheze later", and on top of that they have a bunch of broken code in some user pages. You know why? Well, the source is just a port from fandom... Surely this breaks something here. Rabby (talk) 19:27, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * On top of this we already have a wiki backup on miraheze incase something goes wrong, we never gave permission for another backup. Shouldn't there be a rule against stealing wiki's from other wiki farms? Rabby (talk) 19:29, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What Copyright is the wiki under? The vast majority is under CC BY-SA, and the wiki is under that license so it depends on what license the Fandom is under ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 21:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The fandom wiki appears to also be CC-BY-SA. — Arcversin (talk) 22:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns, but they are not doing anything wrong. They are following the legal mumbo jumbo that the license has. No action would be taken unless they are not sourcing the wiki, which is a violation of the CC-BY-SA license. Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 23:23, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * True, there is a staff (creator I think) of the wiki named RealKnockout. Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 22:28, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thus making this request pretty much demoralizing what is fair use, and what's not. That's just my take on this section, considering this very fact that the wiki that and  are mentioning falls under that same license, meaning it's not violating anything of the sort. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @Bukkit I had a talk with Fandom staff and we did notice that the copy Miraheze wiki hasn't credited the original in any article from what I've noticed.
 * They replaced the Fandom's version of the wiki discord server with theirs, and so on and so on. Rabby (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * They basically have no attributions. Rabby (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

This definitely won't resolve anything considering that both the FANDOM and Miraheze versions appear to be running under the CC BY-SA copyright. This is going to be marked as by an administrator if the argument doesn't cease. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:18, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Could somebody please just end this already? The direction this is heading is disaster, and I don't want this to perpetuate into some type of drama war. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Did you delete my replies? I talked with Fandom staff about this and we noticed that the other wiki [on miraheze] did not source anything. They replaced our discord server with theirs, so on and so on. They basically have no attributions.
 * If you guys can't delete it, that's fine. It's just a tad bit frustrating. Rabby (talk) 23:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I did, and I think I made myself clear on the licenses, so I shouldn't really be repeating myself. What's the point of processing this, when I feel like you and TheRichSeries here in this section isn't assuming good-faith, and is biting the user in question? Wouldn't it be better off if you and Rabby just simply ignored RealKnockout and go on with your day? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:42, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Rabby My apologies for DarkMatterMan4500's reverting your replies. I'm not sure why he reverted your replies, though as they were made logged out, he might've mistaken the replies as vandalism. Nevertheless, I've now suppressed those revisions. I've had a look at  and I do see that Reception123 imported the pages following a Phabricator ticket here. Now, I do note only the current revision was imported, so it's not clear to me whether this was (a) a full XML dump from Fandom's Special:Statistics page or (b) a partial XML dump based on pages RealKnockout exported. Ideally, the edit summary should also link to the source page in question, particularly in this case since we don't have full contributor history. However, if we had full contributor history, while an edit summary link would be also nice, technically speaking, we only need to have links to each page's contributors. So, after reaching out to Owen, in my community capacity, is to reach out to RealKnockout to effect remediation. Dmehus (talk) 23:47, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser and global lock for InfiniTwiceGeneration
This was already reported on #miraheze-cvt, but I'll post this here anyway. This user is VERY suspicious, as he has sysop on  despite only having one edit, and he might be a sockpuppet of the globally locked user EijiZeBoi, according to this image. Please run CheckUser. — Mario Mario  456  13:23, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * While I do agree that it does look suspicious that a user would create an account just to regain their admin status on that wiki, considering EijiZeBoi's lock was made just a little over a month ago, I will say that a brand new user shouldn't really have the admin status right away. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:26, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The screenshot is potentially a bit suspicious, but I've looked at the deleted page and it is Trevor807 asking the user if they are the other named user. The user neither confirmed or denied this to be the case; in fact, they didn't even respond. However, Trevor807 is a bureaucrat and/or sysop on that wiki, so it's not clear that this really amounts to anything. Dmehus (talk) 13:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for replying so quickly. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:39, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The fact that the deletion reason is "to protect identity" makes it even more suspicious. — Mario Mario  456  14:17, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * While that is definitely true, we shouldn't forget about another case regarding 2 users spamming "Quarrow" in their vandalism on 2 wikis. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser for RealKnockoutSucks
Hello Stewards, I am requesting a CheckUser for the account of RealKnockoutSucks. I think that TheRichSeries is the operator of RealKnockoutSucks, because

 * 3) The account was created a day before the request of the deletion.  Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 15:33, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You know, I was thinking exactly the very same thing, but wasn't sure if they were indeed the same, considering how the former was locked for a username policy violation. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Nope, I had a talk with Rich and he is defo not the owner of this account, we are looking into it though. Rabby (talk) 19:14, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Request Wiki Restoration
Hello,

I would like to request the restoration of a lately deleted wiki: roborne.miraheze.org

I have tried looking for requirements but I'm not sure what to do. I have downloaded the torrent backup but I doubt I needed to do that?

Best Regards Salepate (talk) 09:11, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Salepate Unfortunately, it seems your wiki database has already been dropped, in this batch of dropped wikis. Please advise if you wish to proceed with your wiki restoration, so I can recreate your wiki, add an interwiki prefix for the import, and request your deleted wiki be imported in a Phabricator ticket. Dmehus (talk) 05:19, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Salepate Since you hadn't requested the wiki and filed a Phabricator task, I've gone ahead, presuming it was this wiki and ✅ your wiki in this log action. I've also created Phabricator ticket #T7439 to restore your presumed wiki's XML dump from Reception123's  on  . One question, though, I noted the wiki was originally requested by Woli. Was that a prior account of yours, or a different user entirely? Dmehus (talk) 06:23, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

So, the policy for which you're citing is, yes, a global policy, but it is also a legal user agreement Miraheze users agree to and enter into with the legal entity responsible for Miraheze&mdash;that is to say, Miraheze Limited. As such, any complaints about matters which are potential violations of the Terms of Use are handled by Trust and Safety, not Stewards, via e-mail to . Having examined this wiki, though, it is a handful of content pages, and a handful of screenshot images, from publicly-available sources, of the feet of child actors from television series episodes and, potentially, from television movies. So, not only do I see no Terms of Use violation, but I also don't see any Content Policy violation, either, the latter of which is in scope of Stewards. Hope that helps.

Third inactivity exemption request
Today I am requesting inactivity exemption for my wikis, The Wow House Wiki and The Fowl House Wiki for the third time for the following reasons: I would like these wikis to be exempt from inactivity for these reasons. To be honest I have considered making a Request for Comment about abolishing the Dormancy policy altogether as I feel like it puts unnecessary stress on users to constantly be updating their wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:25, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) I am the only contributor on these wikis for some reason.
 * 2) I have been pre-occupied with other things, like helping out with the rebrand.
 * 3) The wikis are pretty much complete and do not necessarily need to be actively edited.
 * 4) The scope of the wikis in general is causing me to have trouble looking for content. It talks about good and bad episodes and characters of The Loud House, and I have tried to find reviews online but haven't been able to find many, not only that but I have pretty much got all of the general episodes.

How do I view a translated page?
Hi

I am very new and I am testing to make a wiki in 4 languages.

I have already activated some extensions for translation and I can successfully translate a page. But when I link the page in the sidebar and switch the language, I still only see the English version.

Here is my wiki:

https://linuc.miraheze.org

Here is the main page in English:

https://linuc.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Here is the main page in German, it exists:

https://linuc.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page/de

Here the page "What is LinuC" in English, linked in the sidebar under "Welcome":

https://linuc.miraheze.org/wiki/Whatislinuc

Here is the German version, it exists:

https://linuc.miraheze.org/wiki/Whatislinuc/de

But I ALWAYS only see the English versions, no matter which language I choose. The language of the sidebar and menu changes, but the page remains the same.

What am I doing wrong? Linuc (talk) 21:58, 5 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Linuc Three questions: (1) Have you added   to the top of the source, non-translation page? This code provides the language chooser; (2) have you set an interface language preference in Special:Preferences or Special:GlobalPreferences? This determines which language subpage you'll hit; and (3) are you using   prefixes before your internal and interwiki wikilinks, where applicable? Also, this thread should be asked at community noticeboard, but I'll move this there once it concludes. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:02, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! To (1): no. But I will test this now. (2) I will take a look. (3) The translation I do over the link "translate this page", after I have made the page translatable with . They automatically are named with /de, so for example Main_Page/de. Should it be better /de/Main_Page ? How would I do this, as they are getting the name automatically from the translation function? I will right you more, when I have tested it again. But maybe tomorrow or Monday. Linuc (talk) 23:23, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I have a little success! After I inserted "languages ​​/" and translated the page again, limited to 4 languages, I can now see the 4 languages ​​to choose from directly above the text. English is always displayed first, then I can switch to German. The language does not change in the sidebar and menu, just the page text. And if I choose a language that has not yet been translated, the translation function opens, even if I am not logged in.
 * I didn't find any setting for interface language preference.
 * When I use Special:MyLanguage/, the page jumps back to the main page. Nothing happened.
 * In addition: If I change the language in the function in the sidebar, or at the top right above the page text, from English to German, the sidebar and the menu are changed to German. However, my extension does not change in the sidebar, so "Welcome" stays in English. Do I have to do a translation for the sidebar as well? Where? And why do the existing texts change to German, for example "Main Page" but not "Welcome"?
 * Seems a little difficult to find the way, but it will work out. 6 years ago I made a small website with drupal and had similar problems there. There were two translation methods there, an old one and a new one. The new one was called "Internationalization" and then it finally worked. The old one doesn't. Linuc (talk) 00:12, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't like the current solution with the additional language bar at the top of the page text. And I'm sure there is a better solution, because the language changeover in the sidebar works perfectly with Wikipedia. And Wikipedia is made with the same tool as miraheze : MediaWiki
 * The additional language bar is not very nice, it becomes a block with many languages and it has no influence on the sidebar, menu and footer. The visitor don't like to handle the language on two points!
 * Since it works on Wikipedia without this additional language bar, it must also be possible with miraheze.
 * Maybe it needs other modules for translation? In drupal I saw that there are two options.
 * 1. The translations are new pages.
 * 2. The translations are attributes of a page (node)
 * We need number 2. I think it is "internationalizasion" module. Is that possible? It would be great if I could set up my wiki at miraheze and not at fandom or another "toy store" :-) Linuc (talk) 15:24, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Dmehus
 * In the meantime I've managed to translate the items in the sidebar. With pages in MediaWiki namespace for each language, I can translate a title in the sidebar and display it in the visitor's language. The same works for the link text of an item. With Special:MyLanguage/ in front of the target of an item, I can reach the corresponding page in the main. I still have a problem with the title of the page, i.e. with the end of the url. In some pages it shows the ending /de (What_is_LinuC/de), in some not (Hardware). Maybe a question how I did the translation? Created the page directly and entered the translated text, or created the page using the translation interface? But actually I don't need this title, because I can put the title in the page text. How do I turn off the display of the url ending at the top of the page? Can I also use a node (node/3475) instead of a page name (What_is_LinuC)? For the visitor, the name (ending of the url) in the url is not important, just the domain. The method with MediaWiki namespace and translation pages produces a lot of work and a lot of pages! To have a page in 4 languages ​​and linked in the sidebar, I need 4 pages in MediaWiki namspace and 4 pages in main. So 8 pages for one page! In addition, the translation method divides the page text, which leads to many sub-pages. If I have 10 subdivisions on a page, then I have 1 translation page with 10 sub-pages, i.e. 11. With 4 languages ​​I have 44 translation pages, plus the 4 in MediaWiki namespace for the sidebar items, so toal 48! Horror!
 * I still have the problem that the page doesn't change when I change the language. The language is changed in the sidebar, menu and footer, but the page remains. I then have to click the item in the sidebar again so that the page also changes language. Can I automate this, maybe with a code in the page text? I want to avoid the additional language switcher at the top of the page.
 * Here are some links to drupal, where the translation of entities and fields is described relatively simply. With this method, NO additional pages are created, but only information units of the page are translated and stored in additional records. With the language setting, the page is then filled with the appropriately translated elements. All elements are treated the same, regardless of whether it is its title field, a page text field, a menu entry (sidebar entry), a botton or something else. This is much easier for the user to handle and results in less redundant data. Is this function available at miraheze? If so, how do I use it?
 * I hope you have time to look into it soon. I want to work on my wiki as soon as possible. Otherwise I have to look for another solution or set up my own website with MediaWiki or WP on a hoster. That would be a shame, because we should try to use the same resources together, this prevents a flood of redundant installations of the same tools on different hosters. Setting up MediaWiki and then just doing a single wiki is absurd. The same for WP. All this tools can handle more then one Website/Wiki and even more then one user.

Request
Would a steward mind deleting fanfictionstories.miraheze.org. I don't need it anymore.--Iron Sword 23 (talk) 14:38, 6 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Iron Sword 23 Your recent wiki request suggests otherwise, so I'm inclined to mark this as not done. What are you trying to do? Dmehus (talk) 14:43, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Start over with fanfiction stories. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 14:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I mean, that's fine, why can't you just delete your existing pages and reuse your existing wiki? If there's a lot of them (i.e., more than 50), you can compile a batch file of pages to delete (including namespaces) and file a Phabricator tasks for Site Reliability Engineering to run the  maintenance script. If you need any assistance with this, please reach out to Reception123 and I in our group DM on Discord. Dmehus (talk) 14:51, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. I would still like fanfictionstories.miraheze.org deleted as I'm not proud of it. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 14:52, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Iron Sword 23 Okay, per the discussion with you and the report of TheBurningPrincess in on IRC, I'm going to delete this wiki per your request, since you've now owned up to copying and pasting written prose to which you were or were not legally entitled to copy and paste, crucially, without proper attribution. It's good that you wanted to self-correct your mistake, so that is to be commended, but I do advise you to be very careful in the future, making sure to link to the source page(s) in an edit summary using an interwiki wikilink and ensure the license under which said content is distributed permits you to redistribute lawfully (again, with or without attribution). Copyright violations or infractions range from a Terms of Use matter to a Content Policy issue, and, whether dealt with in a community capacity as Stewards or in a legal capacity as Trust and Safety, it's taken very seriously.

Visual Editor isn't working on my wiki?
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but I've only just made this wiki and I don't seem to have the Visual Editor extension, but everywhere I read about it, it says it should be automatically enabled. I go to my extensions and Visual Editor is greyed out. Is there something I should download first? This is the link to my wiki I made it temporarily public https://endlessnightswriting.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page Raichu&#39;s Endless Nights (talk) 18:10, 6 June 2021 (UTC)


 * You need to enable the TemplateData extension first, then enable VisualEditor. I have ✅ this for you this time, per your request, so you can visualize the workflow for next time (should there be a next time). I would also recommend enabling  in Special:ManageWiki/settings on your wiki for improved functionality with VisualEditor. Lastly, if you make a request for assistance from Stewards here or from Site Reliability Engineering on Phabricator, you don't need to make your wiki public as both those groups have global   access and can assist you in accommodating your request / finding a solution.

Checkuser request for vandal-related account

 * User:반달 바이러스
 * User:오솔이

반달 바이러스 is a toxic user in osaindex, so he was globally locked. When I blocked 반달 바이러스 in my wiki, another user, 오솔이 said that he was also blocked by auto-ban (mh:osaindex:User talk:오솔이). 반달 바이러스 was the only one I've blocked recently, so I strongly suspect that 오솔이 is a sockpuppet of 반달 바이러스. I will appreciate if you can use CheckUser to 오솔이. --재미재미 (talk) 14:38, 7 June 2021 (UTC)


 * 재미재미 Thank you for your request and for your report. I've translated, using Google Translate, this diff, which machine translates from the Korean as, "I think Meta's response is late.. In this case, can't we just unblock the Vandal Virus user? I can't log in because it's already globally locked. (Wikipedia says locking it globally is enough)." The section header translates as, "please save me," and the locked vandalism only account, vandalism only account translates as "half moon virus," which seems to jive with the machine translation. While it's not great that the user apparently used their main account to appeal their local block of their vandalism only account, it is a good-faith appeal. Could you instead reply to their request on their user talk page, telling them to review user accounts policy, not engage in vandalism, use edit summaries, and the like, then if they wish for that account to be unlocked, to e-mail Stewards at ? Alternatively, they could also make their request here. However, based on the above, a CheckUser investigation is not required, as it's one edit that is a good-faith but procedurally out of place appeal, and also because they've apparently self-identified. Dmehus (talk) 14:52, 7 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't think he is innocent. In the upper paragraph, he says one of his family members did vandalism, and this is one of the common excuses for toxic users. Based on this, I think the appeal of the user should be rejected and the account should be locked. --재미재미 (talk) 22:56, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

What the hell is going on with this community?
I have been watching the events unfold these past few days and I have no word to describe other than it is petulant to a fault.

And I will say this: I thought better of you until that episode. You were the only person from Miraheze to actually deal with vandalism on Trollpedia and that is something I am very grateful for and to see you do what you're doing is revolting.

You should have warned Gay Socrates about their aspersion on Meta since this happened on Meta. I really do not understand why you went out of your way to remind him of that directly on his Minecraft wiki (if I recall correctly) when this did not happen there in the first place and had nothing to do with what happened on Meta. In other words, anything that happens on Meta must stay on Meta. If for whatever reason you were afraid that they did not receive the notifications, then I have to say that I am certain he does because any notif I got on Meta were when I was working on Trollpedia, otherwise, what gives? They never posted on Meta beforehand, so does it really matter if he violates a rule there once and then go on about their business? Moreover, it dawns on me that you started reverting his contributions here while repeatedly interacting with his talkpage when that did nothing, but worsen the situation.

Now,, I don't know why you had to blow this out of proportion when that was not needed. I received an annoying comment from Dmehus on my talkpage on Trollpedia, but that does not mean I should go into a frenzy and accuse him of harassing me, that's not appropriate. DMM4500 had likely no ill-intention toward you when he contacted you via your wiki.

Consider my advice: Grow a pair, because you will likely get more of these if you grow your wiki. As a suggestion, why not open your own Mediawiki instance on a shared hosting where you are free to set your own rules? That would probably be a better option than fighting with the community here.

I think the worst part about this whole ordeal is that none of the actors who participated in this 'drama' had any agency to try to do some mediation with anyone. As a matter of fact, someone banned Gay Socrates for one day for being disruptive, notwithstanding that would not help at all. In fact, they are back and even more disruptive than before, and this is not helped by DMM4500 not dropping the stick, instead resorting to edit-warring with the user.

Additionally, I wanna thank and  for not helping at all. You can keep edit-warring all day long on Gay Socrates' talkpage, but what good will it do? You are all wasting your time.

I am certainly gonna note this event on my review of Miraheze. Clearly, the juveniles here have run amok. I always thought this nonsense only affected the 'reception wikis', but this issue appears to be far more deeply embedded in Miraheze than I initially thought.

If you feel this topic might lead to a flamewar, you can pre-emptively lock it. I said my piece about this and all the parties involved have been informed as well. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 16:12, 10 June 2021 (UTC)


 * The reason why I didn't warn him on Meta was mainly because I'm not an admin of Meta, and the problems were already resolved by the time of this writing, so yeah, I guess you can say, it was quite an episode here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:15, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * To be clear, as soon as I saw edit warring, I pinged a couple of sysops on IRC to help handle the situation. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 16:18, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Can you disable my account please?
I'm leaving Miraheze because of drama on the Reception Wikis and I was even banned from SephSpace for something I didn't even do, so I'm quitting this site. Can you please disable my account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperStreetKombat (talk • contribs) 23:55, 10 June 2021

 * 454y5

For Topo and 454y5, it shouldn't be that hard to find, since these diffs are just these 2 switching parts of the article (although weak at best), however, these following accounts have somehow been editing on some of the same pages, but I do hope that could provide some more information than what I've seen so far. There is at least one example of their edits being directed in one page like the one on Samuel Doe, shown here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:21, 11 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Also, before I forget, there has been some instances where Anti villain and 454y5 have made edits a day apart from each other, as shown here on an article on Yahya Jammeh. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:27, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks, but what about 454y5? Was he related to the accounts you locked, or no? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:47, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Never mind, you already ✅ via Discord, with my assumption being correct. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:41, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
