User:MetaBot
This person activities seen to me are quite dubious, can any stewards get the review on it? Thanks. SA 13 Bro (talk) 01:09, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I've warned them on their talk page about their inappropriate username and wiki request (which I've declined), and they responded by accusing me of vandalism for blanking the misleading statement on their userpage. I think that at least a local Meta Wiki Block, if not a global lock, is in order. Amanda Catherine (talk) 01:25, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review on it. Yeah, previously I also going to decline the user wiki request, but you has arrived your review job, now awaiting the stewards or local admins to get on it, I dubious that this vandal maybe a sock of somebody else.

 * I'd say that it's likely that they are a sock of Louise3/DoveWindsor, as a notable behavioral characteristic of their disruption was strange attempts to fork Wikipedia, among other things (and this was before Framgate and the forking discussions that occurred as a result of that). Amanda Catherine (talk) 02:09, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I think a global lock must be applied Gustave London (talk) 20:31, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The user has been ✅ under the Terms of Use and I have in a position as a local administrator ✅ his userpage with a locked notice. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 20:38, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

System administrators
A new version of MediaWiki is available (1.34). Can you upgrade? Gustave London (talk) 13:25, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * (non sys-admin) - Hi, We run the latest stable version of MediaWiki at Miraheze and as this page shows that is 1.33. This is as the beta versions (like 1.34) regularly have quite critical issues as can be seen on mediawiki's train deployment phabricator tasks with a number of versions being rolled back or blocked recently until issues are fixed and we wouldn't like to be impacted by major downtime. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 13:32, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I know. That's why I asked "if it would". I also have a wiki, but it also goes 1.33 Gustave London (talk) 13:51, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Main Page issues
Hi.I own Moderate-Rightpedia. When i look up https://moderaterightpedia.miraheze.org, it does not direct me to the main page. It directs me to a page that i deleted. How do i stop this from happening? Could you please help or give me a step by step instruction of how to undo this? Thank you!

 * Could you clarify what page it should link to? ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 17:50, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * For me it redirects to Main Page. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 18:03, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

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

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

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

Special:GlobalRenameQueue
Hi, there is currently a lot of user rename requests that are sill open (their accounts have not eat been renamed) and it includes my account rename request. —znotch190711 (temporary signature) 11:10, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * How would you be able to claim that there are "a lot" of user rename requests open since the GlobalRenameQueue page can only be viewed by Stewards? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 12:20, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
