Template documentation
Hi Doug, I have implemented a template documentation in the publictestwiki for demonstration purposes. To these two templates I have added the documention Template:RfP/boilerplate Template:Draft-section so you can see how it looks like. If you think this is useful I (or anyone else) can copy the template and the associated module to other Miraheze wikis. I have translated the text that is displayed in the template pages but not all the comments in the module, a native speaker may improve the translation. Before I spend a lot of time for translating the German comments to English I will make sure that this feature is wanted on Miraheze, if not I will save my time ;-) Lily (Manuela) (Lilypond Wiki · talk and I will listen · my little garden ) 17:18, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Adoption
What are the requirements for adopting a wiki? Musicismylife (talk) 06:55, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * There's no set requirements, other than the wiki (a) must be closed per Dormancy Policy and (b) generally should not be manually-closed (some exceptions apply here). From there, Stewards will assess quantitatively and qualitatively your contribution(s) over the following week(s), typically, to assess your commitment level to the wiki. Hope that helps.

Yo:
How have you been all day today? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Fine, thanks. Dmehus (talk) 03:51, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Please help me
How do I cancel my username change request? Musicismylife (talk) 01:10, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Musicismylife ✅ per your request. Additionally, I'd note you were just globally renamed a month ago here. Global renames are intended to be done seldomly. As a recommended best practice, it's usually good to leave your username the same for at least 12, and ideally 24, months, absent very compelling reasons to change sooner. For what it's worth, I like your current username. :) Dmehus (talk) 18:07, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

You told me to remind you this:
Yes, as you can see from the header section, you told me to remind you to look into Commagate and Cmon, as there is a lot of behavioral evidence from this particular blog post warning other users about Larryding, thus these comments from both of them, and even an additional comment from an additional sock account. Now tell me, doesn't this seem to be over the top suspicious for them to come to that blog post using socks to deny or argue in that same post? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:37, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I don't know that the user is Larryding, but there does seem to be a connection to Commagate and Cmon. Dmehus (talk) 22:23, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * But please do tell me what you find when you're done investigating. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:46, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wait, so Bakerbeat5 had no relation at all? That's strange. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:55, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not even sure you're correct in thinking that the users I ✅ are Larryding. I think they are just run of the mill disruptive sockpuppets. Dmehus (talk) 22:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So I'm going to guess that Bakerbeat5 isn't related to Commagate and Cmon, right? If not, then perhaps a different master? But then again, I thank you for locking those 2 along with any additional accounts they had floating around. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That's correct. It's possible the user is a sockpuppet of a different master, but unless you can provide me with compelling diffs showing a likely target, we won't know that. :) Dmehus (talk) 23:02, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile, I've noticed 2 spambots that came to my  within 2 weeks of each other, like LoganIaf63045 and ESSElinor3002, along with multiple series of spambots that I reported on the Stewards' Noticeboard previously. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:27, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Found a potential target that could very well be connected to Bakerbeat5: Lastflash. Lastflash has asked DeciduousWater534 in such a strange fashion. Not to mention this user, Bakerbeat5 has replied on Commagate's talk page saying something similar, asking people to put random characters on the wiki. Don't you think that sounds familiar?

Wiki request
Can you help me create x-men of steel.miraheze.org? Iron Sword 23 (talk) 22:50, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Warning fake accounts
Can you explain what these accounts are created every day, with random person names on Podpedia (none of the accounts edit, they are just created for nothing) This is not the own site owner creating fake accounts, as the same happens on the AllTheTropes wiki (because it of having many users). And this also happened on a wiki I use. The difference is that they always put "your real name" as seen on their user pages with the SocialProfile extension. YellowFrogger (talk) 02:07, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean by "fake accounts," but they look like either spam only accounts or spam only accounts in incubation that have yet to edit or otherwise attempt to spam. They'll likely be caught up in regular Steward-conducted spambot sweeps, so not to worry. That being said, perhaps that wiki could be suggested to disable their new user welcome extension that greets new users including spam only accounts. Dmehus (talk) 02:12, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You can safely ignore those, they're just spambots, they're everywhere. Just check that wikis Abuse Log, you'll see a ton of those bots have tried to create spam pages on the wikis and have failed because the Abuse Filter caught them. Until Miraheze can implement ReCaptcha v3, there's not much one can do. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:10, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Comments
How do I add comments to a wiki? Musicismylife (talk) 21:08, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure you can, honestly. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 21:37, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If you mean adding the plugin as the local administrator, there are several options in your ManageWiki settings. A wiki you're not admin on depends on the local situation, using the local plugin or the talk page. It's unclear exactly what you mean and I imagine Dmehus would think similarly, so I wonder which sense you mean, or if there's a wiki where they aren't working properly for you. --Raidarr (talk) 21:44, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Unfairly blocked from Qualitipedia again
I have been unfairly blocked from Qualitipedia again. I posted a message on Steward's noticeboard but since it has been ignored, basically I was banned for making a suggestion to add proposals on Qualitipedia, since I know that you said you wanted consensus on Qualitipedia rather than having all decisions made by a small group of bureaucrats. However, they rejected it and I ended up falsely blocked for "causing drama" when that is not true. And to add insult to injury, MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge made a personal attack blog against me on Crappy Games Wiki which is filled with false information and old drama which has since been resolved. Also, the comments section of the blog is filled with personal attacks against me, with people calling me names. They even accused me of being an “anti-profanity SJW” when I am not an SJW and I am fine with profanity, within reason of course. Also they said I wasn't there to contribute which is completely false since I did not go to Qualitipedia to cause drama, I did not want to cause drama, I simply wanted to contribute. The main problem is that I was blocked on the show wikis, which are the wikis I usually contributed to. So I think it is safe to say that MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge should receive a warning for abuse of power, I should be unblocked on EVERY wiki I am blocked on, and the personal attack blog should be deleted, since this has gone far beyond a reasonable discussion with Mario and Duchess. Furthermore, Mario and Duchess both act like they own the wiki when like you said, nobody owns the wiki. They have blocked me for things that are not even against the policy listed on the main page of every Qualitipedia wiki, and personal attack blogs are against the rules on Crappy Games Wiki. This needs to be resolved soon because I need to clear my name and get back to peacefully editing. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:26, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

So, you're back eh?
I've been concerned where you've been for the past few days, but it's good to see you once again. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:44, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
