 * Since I've noticed you have already requested this, would you maybe need an exception to the Dormancy Policy? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:41, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

You can disable or delete this account
I was helping someone who was trying to create an account with an error message when I created the teststerbal account.

They are now able to login. You can now delete or disable the teststerbal account.

Thanks, Teststerbal (talk) 04:17, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ by NDKilla. (For the procedural notes, accounts cannot be deleted, it's just prevented from login.) &mdash; revi  07:29, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Resigning from CVT
As new CVT members are doing their duties very well and I haven't been really active in CVT work for a while, I decided I don't want to keep the role. Please remove CVT from global/local permissions. Thanks! &mdash; revi  07:37, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

 * IRC flags need to be removed and so does the bureaucrat flag on CVTwiki. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 21:38, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd like to thank Revi for his continued exceptional service to Miraheze and it is sad to see such a competent member of the community leave the CVT. :D &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  22:42, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Only thing I forgot to do before waiving the bit was complete blocking Azure IPs... but I think it's where ProxyBot can do better than me! &mdash; revi  17:27, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Error "invalid character" when requesting a wiki
Hello, I'd like to try miraheze as classroom wiki as a replacement for wikispaces. I wanted to request a wiki with the subdomain aklasse.miraheze.org an the wiki name A-Klasse, I set the language to de-ch an wrote classroom wiki into the description field. The request wasn't accepted, it said that there is an invalid (or unallowed?) character in the request. I tried it a second time with the wiki name set to Aklasse, ommiting the dash (as I couldn't see any other possibly invalid character in my request): I got the same result. How can I make this work? Thank you for helping me out. Kaspar Helmle (talk) 11:05, 20 February 2018 (UTC) This problem is solved, thank you MacFan4000 Kaspar Helmle (talk) 06:00, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Request import into Template wiki
Please could these be exported from English Wikipedia, with Include templates and only the current revision selected, and imported into Template Wiki? --Rob Kam (talk) 16:16, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Please make a Phabricator request about this. I assume you want the templates to be imported in an XML dump because the Special:Import feature fails because of load times. If so, then make a Phabricator task as Stewards cannot help you in this regard. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  15:25, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Done at T2756, yes because of load times it's near impossible for the wiki admins to make use of special:import. --Rob Kam (talk) 17:53, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Grant WikiCreator to Sau226
First, sorry Sau226 that this request was fallen behind.

Found Community noticeboard/Archive 2 and I believe this is good to go - Please grant the permission. Thanks. &mdash; revi</tt>  04:05, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Request to poach another user's name
It has been six months, the time at which I said, on my user page at The Mirror, I would request a change of user name. I joined late last August, have contributed content, a little money, copy-editing for policy pages like FAQ and the Gazetteer of wikis, and participation in various discussions. Whereas user Spike, who joined late last July, seems to have 1 contribution, an upload of a screen shot to Lonsdale Battalion, where it is not useful nor was ever used. If it is allowed, I would like to change my username to Spike, as I was and would still be known at Wikia Uncyclopedia if their login page worked with older browsers. And I have not put the dog suit on in years. 03:15 25-Feb-2018
