A problem over at Great Characters Wiki
https://greatcharacterswiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Topic:V5se88lch6zd42he

Angrybirdsfan2005: It appears that someone can't write a blog due to a problem.

There's a user called "MrPissShitHead Did Nothing wrong just like Hitler" vandalizing. Please lock his/her account ASAP. --Seewater514 (talk)

Now there's another user called "IHateIAmEiji" vandalizing. Please also lock his/her account ASAP. --Seewater514 (talk)

Now there's a third vandal called "IHateShitters (Rev 1)". Please lock that user's account as well. --Seewater514 (talk)

https://wiki.arcolinuxclub.org/ does not work as expeced
This subdomain has a CNAME entry to mw-lb.miraheze.org but my browser lands at your Mainpage and not at https://arcolinuxclub.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page. What might be the reason? Please assist. --Peter Littmann (talk) 11:45, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Please replace endeavouros.de by archlinuxfamly.de
I registered the domain endeavouros.de but the people there were not happy with this decision. So I registered the domain archlinuxfamily.de and also the .org. Would you please be so kindly and connect them to the subdomain https://endeavourosde.miraheze.org resp. rename the subdomain? --Peter Littmann (talk) 13:12, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Math error
Hi there,I would like advice on the following errors.Entering \relax will cause an error.please see　.On other wikis, it looks like there are no errors.please see .Thank you.--松 (talk) 14:24, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi there,since the code is difficult to see, we will present the link again.Please　see .Also, meta does not seem to have such an error.(e.g. $$\relax$$).Sorry I forgot to write this, but the wiki where this error is occurring is '数の神秘1729'.Thank you.--松 (talk) 00:05, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like \relax is not part in Extension:Math. See this page for the full list of available formulas.-- 05:44, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply.The fact that errors do not occur using \ relax may be just a coincidence, as you can see from the description of Extension: Math.(i.e.It is not an error that \ relax cannot be used.)I was wondering if I could consult Phabricator, but if it's not a bug, this time it seems different.Thank you.--松 (talk) 10:25, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Trolls
There's these four users who are acting like trolls, their names are "The Blue Creeper", "The Red Creeper", "Monkeypartner" and "SonicClub 2". Please lock their accounts when one of you guys have the chance. --Seewater514 (talk) 04:26, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Global Block Request For The Red Creeper
This troll was vandalizing pages on Great Characters Wiki. They also appear to have sock puppet accounts such as The Blue Creeper. --Agent Mace (talk)
 * The user has been globally locked for vandalism-only account use. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 15:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Closing horriblemusicandsongs.miraheze.org
So i wanted to adopt the wiki, but it wasn't eligable because it wasn't closed. So i'm asking to be closed because the only bureaucrat/admin doesn't have any contributions and for adoption. --Hendicted (talk) 14:48, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You can / should simply wait until it's ready.-- 05:45, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

A suspected sock
There's a user named PokkenFan2002 that I blocked on Atrocious YouTubers Wiki. He's likely a sockpuppet of a user known as Gucci Rsbbit, who was globally locked about a month ago. Could you check the IP addresses to see if I'm right or wrong?

Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 15:38, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Aww shit, he's now trying to create a rip-off of Atrocious YouTubers Wiki called "Atrocious YouTubers Wiki Uncut".

Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 15:41, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, he doesn't appear to be a Gucci Rsbbit sock. There's still a lot of socking going on, and the accounts have been locked. -- Void  Whispers 18:12, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Spam in SocialProfile Pages
We have discovered some two dozen SocialProfile pages on All The Tropes which contain link spam:

User:Lespacenter User:Apexdspa2020 User:Rohitjoklar123 User:Christinziegler User:Robinsonsjaco User:NathanDeMetz User:Fullbodymassage User:Flackflores User:Dylanjoseph User:Enterasource User:Myapexdspa User:Shanejohnson User:Aoltechsupport21 User:Boxtaircon User:Stefanwhite User:Thutrangctp User:Phamyen User:Minecraft2 User:Alicetaylor User:Saikumar User:Karthik11k User:Leathercollectionde

We would delete them, but for some reason when we try to use Special:EditProfile to get rid of them, wiki staff now see the message

Permission error You do not have permission to update other users' social profiles, for the following reason: You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested.

Only a few months ago we had no restrictions on our access to this tool. What has changed and why? And if the change is permanent, can the stewards please delete these spam pages?

Thank you. -- Looney Toons (talk) 15:30, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It was actually removed a little over a year ago. I'll take a look at removing the spam shortly. -- Void  Whispers 18:15, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I am mistaken then; I honestly thought I had used it more recently than that. Regardless, thank you.  -- Looney Toons (talk) 23:47, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I've stripped the contents from the profiles now, but in doing so I noticed that the original reason that we restricted access to this tool has since been addressed. We should soon be able to allow admins to access Special:EditProfile soon. -- Void  Whispers 19:58, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * A bureaucrat should now be able to restore access to the editothersprofiles right as they see fit. -- Void  Whispers 20:28, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you! --Looney Toons (talk) 21:27, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

CheckUser request
We have what appears from posting activity a possible sockpuppet on All The Tropes. One of the other admins has already blocked the suspected sockpuppet account, but that can be undone if an error was made. Is User:Hole connected to User:Infinite? --Robkelk (talk) 01:30, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * sorry for the delay. The two accounts are possibly related, but the technical evidence is rather inconclusive. -- Void  Whispers 19:32, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. We'll leave things as they are now. --Robkelk (talk) 19:43, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

The Red Creeper is back.
The Red Creeper is back as User:Return of The Red Creeper on Awful Movies Wiki, and he's vandalizing, and troll ruffian once again. -- Stephenfisher2001
 * I've asked someone to take a look at it. The best advice I can give is to to get an admin to revert and block them for now. Please advise users not to respond to them as this may provoke them. See this guide. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  13:13, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

CheckUser request
The Constructed Worlds (Altverse) Wiki is requesting a CheckUser steward to determine if there is any connection between User:Emalia and User:Neesym. The wiki administration has suspicions that the former account is a sockpuppet of the latter due to Discord-related drama. &#32;  centrist16 |  |   &#32; 22:45, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Neesym is too stale for there to be any CheckUser data. -- Void  Whispers 01:55, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

ReplaceText Extension Not working properly
For some reason, whenever I try to use the ReplaceText extension on Toxic Fandom & Hatedoms Wiki, I get this error message:

"Error:text replacements cannot be run if $wgCompressRevisions is set to true."

Is there any way to resolve this issue? TheChisatoFan (talk)
 * Unfortunately, due to the large size of your wiki we had to compress revisions, meaning that the usual "ReplaceText" feature will no longer work on your wiki. As an alternative, I can suggest that you try "MassEditRegex". Sorry for the inconvenience. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:06, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Another suspected sock -_-
There's a user known as FlyingMan98 on Awful Movies Wiki. He's likely a sockpuppet of a user known as WG8686. Could you please check the IP addresses of them to see if they're the same person?

Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 16:44, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

UPDATE: Flyingman98 is getting worse! He's causing more trouble than before! and please, Ban Flyingman98 as well as his old account WG8686. -_-

The reason for his behaviour is because of his drama. He also made a tasteless tweet on Twitter defaming us as well as calling us "idiots" and is defending a banned troll. He must globally blocked. WageTheGoblin12 (talk) 19:53, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I have confirmed that these two accounts are part of abused multiple accounts, and have locked them.-- 05:52, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Some trolls that are still not locked.
There's these two users who are acting like trolls, their names are "Monkeypartner" and "SonicClub 2". I reported them before and they're still not blocked. Please lock their accounts when one of you guys have the chance. --Seewater514 (talk) 00:23, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
