Wikis are not working
Here is a list of my Gyaanipedia wikis https://en.gyaanipedia.co.in/wiki/Template:AllLanguages

Please check it some of my wikis are not working. I request Miraheze to resolve this problem as soon as possible. Thank you so much. Shaunak Chakraborty (talk)
 * Could you be more specific about what is "not working"? Are you having trouble accessing them? Getting an error? Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 11:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * You are getting the 404s because some of those wikis do not have custom domains currently configured. Please make requests on Phabricator for a Custom domain. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 12:02, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I had configured custom domains on 2018 only. When I last checked these wikis probably on August or September 2019 it was working properly with custom domains. I think the problem is somewhere else because now these wikis are not accessing through their subdomains also.

Closure of Requests for Comment/Examknow appeal
It looks like here it takes a long while for Requests for Comment to be closed and are sometimes left for a long time. This request is very specific and I do not think it will have more votes so I think it should be closed soon by a Steward. DeeM28 (talk) 18:16, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Infobox
All the Infoboxs in my wiki is imported from Wikipedia, but it looks different in my wiki. In mobile view the light grey box is not visible which is visible in Wikipedia.

A problem with profiles
I saw that all of my user pages are now empty. Every other user page I checked also has this problem. --Seewater514 (talk) 02:17, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * You rollback that and warn that user -- Sourav  Talk... 05:47, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The blankings weren't done by a user, I believe it is a glitch that happened when Miraheze updated the comments. I checked to see if the blankings can be undone like you suggested, but they don't appear in any user page's revision history. --Seewater514 (talk) 15:58, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Excuse the language, but what the hell is going on? In comment sections, all users are now "anonymous user #1" and our profiles have been emptied... Someone please help --SaltylakeXD (talk) 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Login troubles
After the hosting change, I have not been able to log into my wiki. I always get the following error: There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form.

The same error message appears when I try to register a new user. What can I do? If you could answer via email to, I would that a lot, since I am posting this as anonymous user, because I can't log in. ;) Thanks a lot! Kjell 22:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * (non-steward comment) This is a long-standing problem that nobody seems to have been able to solve... if I recall correctly, the problem dates back to the very beginnings of Miraheze itself. Usually, if you just resubmit the form (often times you will have to reenter your password), you will then be logged in. Make sure you do not refresh/reload the page after receiving that error message - just reenter your password if necessary and attempt to login again. On a separate and unrelated note, please don't post your email address publicly on-wiki. Amanda Catherine (talk) 22:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I just tried that, but it doesn't work. The same error message appears time and again and I am still not able to log in. Any help appreciated! 00:07, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The only solution we seem to have so far is to clear all Miraheze related cookies, then visit Special:UserLogout on the wiki, and then attempt to log in. -- Void  Whispers 00:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. This time it worked! Wouldn't have figured it out myself. 19:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Resigning from steward position
There are many duties for me to fulfill within this project, and the work as a steward is 'just too much' to keep doing that properly and staying up-to-date. As such, I have decided I am - voluntarily - going to resign from my position as a steward. I am sure my fellow stewards will do an excellent job, even without me. Please remove my rights and groups I am associated with in this role. Thanks for the many years as a steward, and at least I'll still be around in the SRE roles. :) Southparkfan (talk) 21:08, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Please exempt this wiki from the Dormancy Policy. The wiki has been listed in the Gazetteer of wikis from its inception.

TheChisatoFan and Portrock1566 banned me on Healthy Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki, and Incredible Wikis And Users Wiki, respectively. As you can see here, their reasons to block me made no sense. I was also banned from editing my talk page, and I was never given a warning on those wikis. Can you please reverse the two blocks, and global lock TheChisatoFan and Portrock1566 instead?

 * ( non-steward comment ) Well from my understanding many of these wikis have common admins/bureaucrats and perhaps they did not appreciate the comment that you made on another wiki. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:11, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * He has also shown hostility towards our wikis on other websites like TheTopTens and DeviantArt. He once even called one of our users a "manchild" on his DeviantArt account. Therefore, we also blocked him on multiple other wikis to prevent possible conflicts. As well as his terrible behavior on the wikis themselves like the comment Reception123 has shown. And, if I'm correct, only one case like this is not enough to get globalled. Especially when the user in particular acts like this. Kesner (talk) 15:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not asking to be unbanned on TF&HW, but only the other three. And no, if you check out the link that you provided, I didn’t even say “manchild”. General I80 (talk) 17:14, 6 May 2020 (UTC) General I80
 * Don't lie. I know you wrote it as a reply to one of the comments and so should you. Also unless Reception123 or other stewards require that we unblock you, then you are staying blocked. Period. Don't even bother replying to me. I am done talking to you unless a steward comes to our wikis.Kesner (talk) 17:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Request for wiki 'elliot' to be exempt from inactivity rules
Hi -- I maintain a personal wiki here titled 'elliot' (https://elliot.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page). I use it as sort of a personal wiki where I share my ideas with others. I don't update it super actively though, so I find myself having to re-activate it sometimes. I'm worried that the inactivity rules will allow someone to take control of this wiki if I go 60 days without an edit in the future. Is it possible to make this wiki exempt from the inactivity rules?

Thanks, Elliot
 * I'm not sure whether this should be granted, however just to note under the current policy wikis that are private may not be adopted by users who did not have access to it prior to the closure. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Request to opt out of CVT
The majority of moderators on The Final Rumble Wiki have come to the conclusion that we want to opt out of the Counter-Vandalism Team's watchlist, since we believe we can both handle the amount of vandalism ourselves, and members from the CVT may erroneously target pages that are not vandalism in our wiki.
