Wiki request denied
Hello, unfortunately I have declined your request because the wiki (or domain) you are requesting already exists. You can either go check out the already existing wiki or request another wiki using another link. Another wiki currently uses the database name  at the moment so you will need to revise your form to reflect this inconvenience. Otherwise, it looks good for approval. Also, I apologize if you noticed an earlier, automated message saying your wiki was created. It was incorrectly processed and I apologize for any confusion it caused. &#32;  centrist16 |  |   &#32; 04:40, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, no, you are mistaken. My wiki was already successfully created here. The wiki you have linked to above would have the database name, where as my wiki is simply  . The database name is the exact subdomain of the URL plus the word “wiki” - so that means that if the subdomain contains wiki, the database name will have the word wiki twice.

 * Thank you for the correction. I was confused because I had seen your report marked as for review, while your process had already been completed John. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Cheers! &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg centrist16 | P mail.svg | Discord color D.svg  &#32; 16:04, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Adding notifications related to wiki creation
Hi, since you're not a wiki creator, I think it's better to leave the issues to us wiki creators (though I do think such edits were done with good faith); it can be confusing because it can cause mismatches between the status on the wiki request page/queue and the talk page. Thanks.-- 15:09, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Acknowledged. Amanda Catherine (talk) 16:00, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Warnings to users
Well it is appreciated that you are helping to uphold the policies on Meta, I'd like to ask that you don't issue warnings (which include threatening consequences) to other users, since you do not have any authority here to issue said warnings, and unless there is a policy which dictates it, the decisions are made at the discretion of Stewards and/or local Meta administrators. This could cause confusion if the warnings you give are then not upheld by administrators. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 19:36, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * On one of their wikis (knowledgeboxwiki) they unilaterally gave me bureaucrat rights without any vetting, and therefore I do have the ability to close the wiki and/or take their bureaucrat status away. I’ve been doing a slow-motion deletion of the entire wiki and reverting back to the wiki’s original state for the past few days since the evidence of mass sockpuppetry surfaced, hoping that it will get their attention and respond to what needs responding. However, seeing as they still have not addressed the issues, and it appears that Void has discovered yet another sock, I’ll probably close the wiki soon, and if they still don’t respond, remove their bureaucrat status and officially adopt the wiki. I’m partly doing this as a way to state “this is what can happen when you don’t vet who you grant rights to” but also as an incentive for them to come clean. Amanda Catherine (talk) 00:26, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * If you actually have rights and are handling it in that capacity, you should probably notify them on their wiki talk page instead of here. Your warnings sound more authoritative than they should here. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 04:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

on editing other user's user pages and talk pages
Hi, please don't edit others' user pages or revert talk pages even if you think it's abusive. Please just leave it to local admins unless it's an obvious vandalism (such as blanking or insertion of random letters). Thanks.-- 05:43, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, and also please do not leave messages on user talk pages as you did that make it appear as if you are an administrator giving a user a warning/instructions, especially as in this case where there was nothing wrong done by the user. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:53, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Discussion notifications
As you have probably noticed by now, Site updates have not been sent/updated for a while. The main reason for this is the fact that there was not an interest in it, and there was not enough information that was worth sending to users monthly.

I am sending this message to the Site updates list because I would like to propose a trying out a different type of notice sent to users. Instead of monthly updates of a limited number of statistics (which can be consulted by users anyway), staff would instead notify interested users if there is an interesting discussion (on Community noticeboard or Stewards' noticeboard) or if there is a local vote on Meta. Currently, there is no incentive for many users to visit Meta and check recent changes to see if there is anything they would be interested in, so this system would fix that and notify users of that so they can join in the discussion whenever there is one.

In order to subscribe to these notifications, please add your name in the same format to Discussion notifications/List, and you will start being notified on your talkpage. If there is interest in these notifications, they will be continued.

Also, please note that at least for the time being Site updates will be discontinued (since all the statistics are available anyway).

weather wiki
What did I do? Why did you block me on weather wiki? I made no edits on weather wiki and you blocked me for harrassment? LegoMaster (talk Account information: [ block log] – contribs – logs – [ abuse log] – CentralAuth ) 04:51, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Did you even follow the URL link that I included in the block reason? Your block is not because you did anything on Weather Wiki (which you are correct that you didn't), but rather it is a reciprocal block for your borderline-harassment here by attempting to reopen old wounds by discussing my former account and my sister's former accounts, which is drama that I have left behind me and refuse to have rehashed.

A kitten for you!
You deserve this.

Wiki Request #8788
I’ve left a comment on the request RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contirbs · Rights - ) 09:37, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ❌ on 2nd thoughts with note left for requestor RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contirbs · Rights - ) 10:23, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * And re-reviewer and created. Freedom of speech is a right we take seriously at Miraheze, I don’t foresee how a pro-Muslim wiki is against Miraheze’s values or policies. John (talk) 11:49, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * It was more ensuring it remained pro-muslim and not ending up like other wikis as the requester described and harbouring abuse. RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contirbs · Rights - ) 12:01, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * As a general comment, I think RhinosF1 tends to decline requests that have "potential" risk, but I don't think it's really necessary - any wikis technically have potential risks, and we can deal with them after these risks become a reality (by closing, making them private, etc.). Potential risk should not be a reason for declining requests (unlike obvious policy violation) when it's only "potential", IMO.-- 02:42, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I probably can see a stricter side to the rules at times and be a bit on the pre-emptive side but if you have any further issues I suggest you give me a shout on IRC/Discord. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 17:30, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Request for a wiki
Hi Amanda, sorry to bother you. I have requested a wiki which has not been approved until now. I would no ask but there are later requests which have already been approved. Is there something wrong with my request? Manuela (talk) 05:56, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * (Talk Page Stalker) As some information on the request is in German, we need a German reviewer to look at it.  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 06:42, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information, Manuela (talk) 06:47, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
