fair dealing copyrights
https://crocwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Croc_Wiki%3ACopyrights&type=revision&diff=32221&oldid=12379

I just now thought of doing this. A lot of people who use Miraheze, like me, are more familiar with fair use since we live in America. Therefore I had the idea to add a notice on the Copyrights page that the wiki recognizes fair use but must also abide by fair dealing. I hope you guys are okay with me adding this.

 * While I'm not an expert on copyright this appears to be acceptable as obviously US based users are more familiar with fair use and fair dealing can't be described as radically different to it either. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 21:10, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and I want to educate the others so that the wikis are not shut down from legal issues Bawitdaba (talk) 21:55, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

GLocked account
I see you have globally locked the Taichi account, he is a impersonator and not the original user of Wikimedia, right? No se (talk) 16:17, 17 January 2023 (UTC) (edited 19 January 2023 at 00:08 (UTC))


 * Hi Stewards are not permitted to release confidential information (IP addresses, personally identifiable information, etc.), so Reception123 likely won't be able to confirm this for you. You could leave a message on the user's Wikimedia talk page to confirm this, if you'd like. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 16:45, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @BrandonWM In this case the question did not concern any "confidential information" as revealing whether someone is an impersonator isn't revealing anything confidential.
 * @No se Yes, the person who I locked was someone who we describe as a "long term abuser" and certainly not the user with the same name on Wikipedia. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Some stroopwafels for you!

 * No problem! Glad I could help. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:12, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

librepedia
hi, How can I be a librepedia sysop? No se (talk) 02:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Not sure what Librepedia is, but if its a Miraheze wiki, you should follow the local wiki's promotion process. If there are no active sysops/bureaucrats on the wiki, you'll need to start a local election. Collei (talk) 02:24, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * its page: https://librepedia.miraheze.org/ but it doesn't say how to be a sysop No se (talk) 02:26, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You'll have to ask the existing sysops: https://librepedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Especial:ListaUsuarios/sysop Collei (talk) 02:33, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I already made a request No se (talk) 02:48, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * If they approve it, then you could become sysop.
 * This is not Fandom, where staff rush to get involved in forcing changes upon wikis without consensus whenever they get the chance. Collei (talk) 02:50, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Personal Wiki
Can a wiki be used as a sort of diary? I tried this on Fandom, but nobody liked it because I couldn't make it private. I will give nobody but me read-rights, and I will make articles about events, locations, and people in my life. I understand you might say no, because Miraheze doesn't allow personal attacks (trust me, once I have a bad day at school, I WILL put it in my wiki), or because it's too much personal information that it would ALL be risked when I'm hacked in 2029 because I give away my password, convinced I will get a free VR Suit (but I can prevent that).
