Factory reset for wiki


I did no check for importation and found big error that can not be resolved. Can someone delete this wiki and recreate it please? Thanks! Pocokomisan (talk) 13:49, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅, as requested. A systems administrator will need to reset the wiki however. I have asked one to do that. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 19:59, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Cuando borramos un wiki, no se borra la base de datos del wiki en caso de que alguien en el futuro quiera pedir que se reabra un wiki. Solo los administradores de sistema pueden borrar la base de datos completamente entonces necesitamos que uno de ellos borre la base de datos para que podamos recrear el wiki usando el mismo subdominio.

Local election process concluded
It has been 2 weeks since I've put the election page up (https://gundam.miraheze.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page) so I think I should be returned bureaucrat rights by now. I really need them to start editing again. Balofo2 (talk) 19:41, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * In the most technical of sense, your election does not meet the requirements for a local election per Local elections as you failed to add a sitenotice to the wiki or add a notice on the main page. However, because you are the lone user on the wiki and because no one disputed your lone activity and election on the wiki, I have decided to call the election in your favor and ✅ you to bureaucrat and administrator. Congratulations and happy editing. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:19, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! Can you unlock my other wiki so I can stage the election process there too? https://geass.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page Balofo2 (talk) 21:44, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

 * The wiki was closed because you did not edit it quickly enough. You must make an edit or log action quickly to prevent it from being reclosed. I have ✅ the wiki once more, please make an edit. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:46, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Another Checkuser request for a few more Anti villain/Gigdsclasp sock(s)


In Bruckheimer's case, it's almost exactly the same behavior as shown here, similar to PwanDonetskRussia's behavior in this edit-summary. The other 2 are pretty much the same, but in different articles. I'll pull up more if required. Also, if I made an error in this template, at least fix it, so I'll know for next time.

Question
Are non-admins allowed to tag sock master/sockpuppet accounts? FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 06:02, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it is allowed since Wikipedia has some examples.
 * Hi, commenting here as a volunteer. I have once tagged globally locked accounts (i.e. Special:Diff/248885), but then reverted by a former steward here, as it is considered unnecessary. I think this matter is at the discretion of stewards and really depending on the circumstances. -Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 08:35, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Generally, it depends on a number of factors. If the account was made by a serial puppeteer who used the account for a little time then it would be a waste of time to do that. On the other hand, if the sock was used extensively and a random lock out of nowhere is likely to confuse people then yes, tagging a user would be appropriate. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:22, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Another thing, it appears the sockpuppet template is rather poorly made. Could it perhaps be made identical to the template on Miraheze Login Wiki? FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 21:24, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅, as requested. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:43, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Request
Could you guys please close ScumTube Wiki? It is a duplicate of mh:wretchedyoutubevideos:Wretched YouTube Videos Wiki and I admit that I shouldn't try and change its subject to YouTubers instead. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 10:28, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Requesting lock of User:Sister location circus fox 3

User Rights
Hello,

Could a steward (or local actor where applicable) please remove all user rights on wikis except botswiki, wikimaniawiki?

I don't mind having autopatrolled on meta too but otherwise I'd like to remove rights where I'm no longer active.

Thanks, ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  09:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. TestWiki I defer to a local actor. Circleyverse appears to be soft deleted; the problem is custom groups which are not in my Meta control. Recaptime and Astonishing Scratchers also have custom groups requiring local control. Only way I'd manage it is if I temporarily restore global userrights access. The rest I've removed centrally or in my local capacity, though that has been reduced as I've largely resigned from involvement in reception wikis. An SRE-Steward with more hats would probably be best to take another run through this to finish it off and if anything's left I'll consider something like temporary global userrights to get it done. There's no active local authority on remaining wikis except TestWiki. --Raidarr (talk) 12:07, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * For testwiki local actors can’t remove consuls and according to https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/TestWiki:Consuls they specifically defer that responsibility to stewards. Sorry to see you go, you were a great help. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 13:11, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Request to open closed wiki to stage local election
Hi, as everyone must be aware here I'm the successor account to a founder account that was lost.

Dormancy policy exemption request for darkwitch.miraheze.org
Hello, I am requesting a dormancy policy exemption for darkwitchwiki. We already have a large pool of info (about 100+ pages) and a large amount of files (500+ files). A large amount of pages are finished and are well written. The series also hasn't been getting a lot of news recently, and it isn't very popular to begin with. I also moved the wiki from Fandom to Miraheze, and a backup of content will no longer be available in the future. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 03:55, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Request to add interwiki prefixes
I've requested this before in Stewards' noticeboard/Archive 31. But now it does not seem to work. What's wrong？ Zes M Young (talk) 08:15, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

 * I have had a look and it doesn't seem conclusive that that IP is a proxy. The wiki mentioned isn't a Miraheze wiki so a global block for abuse would also not be appropriate in my opinion unless there's abuse on Miraheze. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:37, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This IP was used by an LTA also here on Miraheze, known as "Eariowa" here and on other wikis. The link to the wiki used served as a reference. Furthermore, this site confirms that it is a proxy. — Pixial  [Talk] 01:03, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

CheckUser for the following sockpuppeteers
I would like to request a CheckUser for the following sockpuppeteers:

PBSArchive's newest socks
A few weeks ago, this user was IP banned for a year and somehow managed to create new sockpuppet accounts a few days ago. The following are his new sockpuppets likely falling into a different IP address: These accounts are obviously sockpuppets of said sockpuppeteer, containing a portion of his name as well as having the same bad grammar in his edits. For example, this page creation and this revision have identical grammar and formatting found in his many other sockpuppet accounts. I was asked by a steward if this user manages to create more sockpuppets, I should alert them.
 * PBSNorthWest
 * PBSArchive

Introseria socks
Every single one of his socks contain "Introseria" in the username and some of these accounts vandalized/spammed the CLG Wiki (in edits now deleted by admins).
 * Linmagnoliabyintroseria
 * Linmagnoliaforintroseria
 * Linmagnoliaforintroseria32
 * Linmagnolia and introseria home entertainment
 * Linmagnolia and introseria video

RainbowKitty2000 socks
If you notice, most of her sockpuppets contain the acronyms of football associations and looking through their edits, they all consist of minor edits usually targeting the Jam Filled Toronto and several other pages. Camenati (talk) 06:33, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * UEFA2008
 * UEFA2012
 * UEFA2016
 * UEFA2020
 * UEFA2024
 * UEFA360
 * AFC2001
 * Thanks for the report. An investigation has been done and accounts have been ✅ accordingly. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

CheckUser request for even more suspected sockpuppets of RickERB23

 * DemonSlayerFan58
 * JoyLucaGT
 * RounderFortheWin

I am requesting a CheckUser against these 3 accounts, as these 3 have engaged in hostile behavior, consistent with what RickERB23 does when it comes to incivility. Not to mention some overlap between the master, and these 3 suspected socks shouldn't be hard to spot. Here is a list of comparisons between the 3, the master and some older socks:

DemonSlayerFan58 vs. RadarYo47 vs. RickERB23

DemonSlayerFan58 vs. LambChop90

JoyLucaGT vs. TomBatMDO

Now let's look at the behavior that immediately caught my attention, and is free to add in more evidence if needed:

Schoolboy99 vs. DemonSlayerFan58 vs. TomBatMDO vs. TheYouTubePopStar. The behavior does appear to be quite obvious, but anybody else who is also familiar with this master may add more compiling evidence onto this thread if they wish to. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:02, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I have a question
So, I know that this is really late given that I could have asked this seven months ago (back when the wiki got closed), but why was Rubbish Quotev Posts Wiki closed and deleted? I presume it was manually closed, but I'm not sure why the bureaucrat I contacted renamed the wiki as I suggested but then closed it. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 20:42, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * It appears to have been closed by a local bureaucrat indeed so there is unfortunately no more record of why since it has now been permanently deleted. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:28, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

I can't access my main account.
In case you're wondering, no I didn't use this account to evade a ban; I made it because everytime I even attempt to log into my main account, I always get a database error code, rendering said account completely inaccessible, so I made this backup account in case I can't use my main one. Can this be fixed? SuperStreetKombat 2.0 (talk) 06:29, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
