 * Hispano76 ✅ per your above request and reasoning. Note that the databases have not yet been dropped, so if you are wanting to recreate them sooner than approximately two weeks from now, you will need to request Site Reliability Engineering force through the databases being dropped earlier than that. This can be done, typically, with a Phabricator request, or you can just direct message Reception123. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 14:15, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Reception Wikis' mods
Hi Stewards. I'm having a... problem with the mods of the Reception Wikis.

Ever since I added the Lion King sequels to the Awful Movies Wiki, it has been the subject of drama. The users were upset that I've added them there, even asking for them to be added to the Greatest Movies Wiki. I have constantly defended my decisions, telling them that the positive reception of a movie doesn't determine whether it is actually good or bad.

Shrek Forever After got criticism when it came out back in 2010, but I saw how good of a movie it actually is, as such, I've made a sandbox listing the positives and gained support from others, and upon completion it was added to the Greatest Movies Wiki.

Furthermore, their logic isn't how film criticisms and reviews even work in the first place. If it did, here's how reviews would work instead: "Despite the massive, massive amount of flaws and the fact that there are so little good things about it, This Movie: The Movie is a good movie merely because of the positive reviews".

For further elaboration, I recommend reading my... thing, where I call out the mods' BS. Over, and out!

FreezingTNT (talk) 20:16, 26 June 2021 (UTC)


 * First of all, I know critics aren't always a good source for reviews, but they should be still trusted for the most part, unless there's controversy regarding the movie. Plus, if you want the Lion King sequels to be on AMW, community consensus would be needed as the movie received positive reviews. The Last Jedi deserves to be on AMW due to the negative reviews from the audience, but it's still considered an average movie. If you promise to not do this again, I can readd your administrator privileges. —Mario Mario 456 23:49, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Can't we all just agree that not all well-liked media are going to have a well-received reception? Like what MarioMario456 has explained to you, I am only here to add to this stepping stone: We need to have a community consensus by us administrators and other editors instead of pointlessly saying that we're adding these "well-liked movies" to negative Reception wikis. We are fully aware that there's no such thing as a perfect movie or any type of media, as they are bound to have flaws that are to be ironed out. Thanks for reading this message, and I hope you take this into consideration. This noticeboard should only be for reporting or other enquiries that requires assistance, not petty drama that could easily be squashed anyways. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:04, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Procedural point of clarification: You don't need to have community consensus to add a page to Greatest Movies Wiki. What should be decided by the community is things like the scope of the wiki and style guidelines for pages. If the community decides that users may add their own pages to the wiki based on a community-defined criteria, that's absolutely fine. Dmehus (talk) 02:20, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

What are you guys going to do about Sponge's edits to the Lion King sequels' articles? I pointed out valid flaws there. FreezingTNT (talk) 01:16, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * FreezingTNT does have a point guys. The existence of controversial pages has been a concern of mine. And yes, I do agree with FreezingTNT that there should be community consensus when dealing with particularly controversial pages. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:14, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this means that there should be in-between wikis. Okay Movies Wiki exists on FANDOM, we could fork it here. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:16, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Speaking of this, has anyone gotten in touch with Trevor on Discord? To try and get his permission?

 * Neutral wikis would be dead anyway, because they were dead before. —Mario Mario 456 02:48, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Then what do we do with stuff like the Lion King sequels?

FreezingTNT (talk) 17:36, 29 June 2021 (UTC)


 * They're good movies. There's a reason why they're called the Reception Wikis and not the Opinion Wikis. —Mario Mario 456 01:48, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

My pointers about the flaws aren't opinions, they're legitimate criticisms of the movies. I posted a plan here before being demoted.

EDIT: Also, a while back I proposed re-naming the Reception Wikis to the Review Wikis.

FreezingTNT (talk) 15:20, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, they are. The movies got good reviews, both from critics and audiences. So now shut up. —Mario Mario 456 17:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Ah, yes, plot holes (of all things) and contrivances and rip-offs and unlikable characters and continuity errors and inferior animation are all totally opinions.

FreezingTNT (talk) 23:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh dear, more drama. Look I feel like dead or not, neutral reception wikis would be a good idea. Also FreezingTNT, demoted or not, is still in charge of the rebrand since he came up with the idea first. Since I also think that movies with positive reception should be on GMW, I would think that creating neutral wikis would be our best bet. It doesn't even have to be a part of Qualitipedia, it can be somethting separate altogether, like my Weirdness Network concept currently is (Absurd Shows & Episodes Wiki is a part of the future network). Also, there are a lot of movies with mixed or negative reception on GMW, such as The Lego Ninjago Movie, Star Trek The Motion Picture, and The Black Cauldron, to name a few. Not to start drama, but neutral wikis should be considered. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Election on Animated Muscle Men
I made an election on the Animated Muscle Men Wiki to regain my bureaucrat status and the election ended yesterday. Here are the results. https://animatedmusclemen.miraheze.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page Grust 2.0 (talk) 15:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Grust 2.0 So, firstly, as a procedural matter, to ensure you are not an imposter of Grust, would you mind logging in to that account and confirming that this is your legitimate alternate account, in accordance with our Username Policy? If you cannot remember your password, please try to request a password reset. If you do not have a confirmed e-mail address on file for that account, please do your best to try all possible account passwords you might have possibly or remotely used. Otherwise, while it might seem a bit bureaucratic, I don't see how we can reasonably make an exception for you here, absent an actual confirmation edit, so you will need to file a global rename request for Grust before I can assess your local election. As an alternative to requesting a rename, you have the option of usurping Grust by posting a note on their user talk page here on Meta Wiki, wait about seven (7) calendar days for them to object (which would not happen if you and Grust are the same user), then return to this thread, and ping me to complete the usurpation request. Grust would be renamed Grust (usurped) and you would be renamed to Grust. Thank you for understanding. Dmehus (talk) 02:14, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay sent a talk page on Grust. Grust 2.0 (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Dmehus Nobody replied on Grust's user talk page for 7 days. Grust 2.0 (talk) 14:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Grust This username usurpation request has been ✅ (#1 and #2). As a housekeeping note, this was a follow-up to this previous request. Would you mind having Str8Muscle reply here by confirming that it is your legitimate alternate account? As well, please note that it would've been ideally better for you to have used that account rather than Grust 2.0 as, technically, if you and Grust (usurped) were not the same person and Grust (usurped) returned, they could request your account be locked as a Username Policy violation and to claim their name back. I don't believe that's going to happen as I do believe you're the same user, given that other users have locally supported your election. Nevertheless, it's an important reminder. Finally, have you now added a confirmed e-mail address to your new account and to your Str8Muscle account, to prevent this problem from reoccurring? Dmehus (talk) 22:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately Str8Muscle cannot reply as that account doesn't have a confirmed e-mail address as I was originally going to retire. However, I'm not going anywhere anymore so my new account does have a confirmed e-mail account.  Grust (talk) 19:03, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No wait, it did have a confirmed e-mail. I'll have it replied soon. Grust (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Whoa that was lucky, I thought I removed e-mail access to this one. But yes, I am also Grust. Str8Muscle (talk) 19:13, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Grust . That's great then. I'll assess your local election shortly, but first need to tend to a more pressing request on this noticeboard. Dmehus (talk) 20:23, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Grust ✅. Please do see my closing comments. Also, as you will not be able to patrol your own revisions after the election is done, please ping me or Reception123 if you would like us to patrol the revisions prior to your successful local election. Dmehus (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Please stop Anti Starviki:
For the past few days, I've noticed the user has been making threats on multiple wikis, including threats of rape and murder, making this raging comment on Crappy Games Wiki, acted very rudely on the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, and has just been overall disruptive. I have been growing very tired of this user's behavior, and can't let this continue any longer. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:45, 2 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yet you support doxxing done by CoolSpeedyJosh Rambo (talk) 19:14, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I see no need for Steward action. As Reception123 and I have cautioned you against using propaganda tactics to have a user globally locked merely because you want them to receive some sort of superior form of punishment to their local blocks, which are serving their purpose. Global locks are not that and should be used as preventative measures, or where the user is abusing multiple accounts. Dmehus (talk) 02:21, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * True, but I was hoping that the user would be warned, rather than just being locked. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:49, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And thanks for reminding me (once again) anyways . Why am I always forgetting that piece of information anyways? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:51, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Except Doug's busy right now, and won't be back until this evening. I do think Rambo needs to be checked, as this user has repeated what IvanTheGreat, Crowbar, and other WG8686 sockpuppets have done already. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:05, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Sometimes I get it right
To whom it may concern:

I noticed that in this wiki there is automoted ban process by bots to IPs...my question revolves around contributions and contributors, I know there are more IP ready to vandalize, spam and similars, but there is also a significant percentage of further contributions by lazy users like me or simply shy users, we all have a start. I wonder if this aggressive but necessary policy makes less familiarity with the community, I mean that a IP user could be annoyed and choose not to cooperate, this is not implying that the main cause is in fact the automation, by the way, I am totally keen on the idea, it reduce work and stress, but I also think that the main point of a wiki is contribution. So, there are any possibilities to perform bots in a way they can analyze content before ban? Programming is hard, but if there is a line to protect even the smallest righteous edit, it could make huge difference for all of us. After all we need content, we are content and we make content, by the way, I was referring to IPs like this. Thankfully thanking and dirty thinking, yours.--Executive2 (talk) 16:44, 2 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Per the global no proxy policy, any VPN/open proxy is allowed to be banned as they are usually used to vandalize or otherwise break various policies. Users wishing to still edit on such IPs are asked to contact the stewards via email, stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org. I hope that helps answer your question. Zppix (Meta &#124; talk to me) 17:01, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but there is implicit contradiction: We use automoted BAN to reduce troubles, but we keep emails for every misuses...augmenting trouble. I understand the policy, but I am also saying to perform bots, not to disable them or change our policy, that I agree with… I had multiple bans just for editing a page, but editing is all what I did… --Executive2 (talk) 17:21, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure what the request is here, if there is a request or if it's more of a general observation. If a general observation or a request, perhaps you could articulate this a little further and better in order to help us help you? With regard to global soft rangeblocks and blocks, you can thank a perennial long-term abuse case on  and this wiki, principally, for that. Sure, IP editors on Meta would be nice, but the reality is, > 9 out of 10 IPs on Meta are one of five things: (1) long-term abuse; (2) ban evading editors; (3) spammers; (4) trolls; or (5) a good-faith editor who inadvertently edited while logged out and did not want to expose their IP. Plus, Meta Wiki is not a content wiki; it is a coordination and global request wiki, augmented by some discussions affecting Miraheze in a global context and manner. As such, there's little need to be too concerned with potential false positive impacts on IP users, since users can easily create an account, provided they take care to abide by user accounts policy and not be a fairly recently globally locked user, globally banned user, or locally blocked or otherwise restricted user on Meta Wiki. The one oddity with Meta Wiki is that   is not available to registered users as it is on most wikis; however, a global IP block exemption can be requested from Stewards (provided the user is trustworthy, established, and has no recent history of sockpuppetry), or Stewards could look to add that user right to bring it in sync with the default permissions. Hope that helps you out. Dmehus (talk) 02:52, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * We've had to deal with a persistent LTA on  for quite a while now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:47, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying me, I am sorry but I thought reprogramming a bot should be admin stuff.
 * I can discuss further my observation, but I just pose a question to better explain myself: Is it possible to know how many righteous contributions were deleted because automated ban? And if it is so, how to recover that contribution? I mean real content and in line with wiki policy, I recall the situation in Nonciclopedia, but what I try to say is: Save the content not the IP, if possible, both ;)--Executive2 (talk) 11:58, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention this policy is provided to young users also! (at least in Nonciclopedia) Making difficult to better see malevolent intents from legit edit, but again It just a few...for restricted period of time, technically speaking, that concerns things like number of edits and time of users’ presence on the site. I apologize, but I still view a bit of too much to protect and less to confirm, I (wrongly) thought that bot behavior could be easily performed with implementation such as: special keywords, user edit history or content meta analysis before pub; anyway you’re telling me otherwise, It is our internal policy and if it is so, you replied sufficiently to my question, thanks you in any case :).--Executive2 (talk) 14:22, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. You've raised some interesting philosophical questions, to which I don't think there are many (if any) easy answers. As to viewing deleted IP users' contributions, yes this is possible with Special:DeletedContributions; however, only administrators or above can view this. To clarify, though, a bot does not handle the IP blocks; that's strictly done by global functionaries or local administrators, unless you mean the abuse filter local blocks. If that is the case, you might try engaging with Wedhro at their local user talk page to suggest any changes to their local abuse filters. Dmehus (talk) 15:59, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Realy thank you! I appreciate how much time You offer, even if concerns a little vague due to difficulty, argue; I beg pardon, but English is not my native idiom… ;)--Executive2 (talk) 17:59, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Libelous article on Rotten Websites Wiki
Ben Kuchera

Most of the things written there is completely made-up. 2A02:120B:2C60:8280:6D8A:A3CA:7C59:26AA 12:03, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

This seems to have been ✅ by DarkMatterMan4500. 2A02:120B:2C60:8280:6D8A:A3CA:7C59:26AA, per the edit notice on this very noticeboard, you should note that anonymous complaints are not given much attention from a procedural fairness standpoint (i.e., due process) and from a procedural standpoint (i.e., likelihood the report is from a ban evading editor). So, to avoid this, you should login or create an account first, taking care, of course, to oblige and obey user accounts policy, then make your report, citing appropriate evidence in the form of permalinks and diffs. Speaking of which, your report was insufficient from an evidentiary standpoint for any investigation or action to have been taken by Stewards. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 15:51, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * "Speaking of which, your report was insufficient from an evidentiary standpoint for any investigation or action to have been taken by Stewards." He deleted the evidence that's why, good on him I say. 2A02:120B:2C60:8280:6D8A:A3CA:7C59:26AA 21:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, you'd be wrong. That's not deleting evidence, that's saving a wiki from being shutdown and preventing anymore libel from being created on that wiki. I'd say, drop the stick, and it has already been resolved anyways. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:17, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I see no issue with deleting a page after an issue has been raised against it. Local administrators, in some cases, may not (or cannot) be aware of and have vetted the contents of every single page on their wiki. As such, this type of content can persist until someone does review it and points out the problem. That seems to be what happened here, and therefore does not merit further action. -- Void  Whispers 21:50, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 2A02:120B:2C60:8280:6D8A:A3CA:7C59:26AA Note that Stewards, and even Global Sysops, can still view deleted contributions. So, had your report contained evidence and had you ideally been logged in when you'd made your report, we would've still been able to review any deleted page content. In this case, since you've provided no evidence or statement, specifically, as to what was wrong, I see no further need for investigation here. We will not do the legwork for you.

CheckUser request for the following accounts on the :

 * JewishBlayer

Could a Steward perform a CheckUser on all 5 of them as they appear to be targeting both me and JewishPlayer, and the latter 2 on the bottom is clearly targeting me, and why does that sound so familiar? Well, anyway, they all need to be checked, although JewishPlayerIsAPedophile, DarkMatterManMolestsBoys and DarkMatterManIsBrentonTarrant (2 of which are highly inappropriate account names, and contains libel on both of them) have been globally locked, I still think they need to be checked as soon as possible.

Delete kawipedia.miraheze.org
Hello Stewards, I am Mazzaz and I want to delete my wiki (kawipedia). I have been too busy to manage it and it's scope is similar to the scope of famepedia where I regularly contribute. I am the only founder and contributor on that wiki. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused, if any. Thank you! ~ Mazzaz (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Mazzaz ✅. Separately, regarding your request for a global lock for cross-wiki promotional user pages, speaking as a Steward, I trust you can appreciate that I don't feel this is appropriate for a global lock, for several reasons. For one thing, we're not Wikimedia whereby we're so strict so as to globally lock users that merely promote themselves. Secondarily, some wikis (notably, Gyaanipedia, even overly allow self-promotionalism). Further still, the user could also create their own wiki(s) promoting themselves. Finally, as a somewhat minor point, this is, presumably and ostensibly, the user's real name. As I said, though, I can definitely appreciate where you're coming from in terms of your likely activity on the Wikimedia wikis, but, as I say, whereas the Wikimedia wikis are all owned by one entity, Miraheze wikis are owned by local communities; Wikimedia Foundation wikis are locally run, yes, but, globally, they are owned by the Wikimedia Foundation. It's an emerging area, though, so I can totally appreciate your request and even to Reception123's lock, which I've asked him to revert with whatever log summaries he prefers. In terms of local blocks, that could be done; however, speaking as a local Famepedia wiki, I personally do not feel a local block is warranted and, if the original account is blocked, personally think we should revert it. I would rather see us delete and creation protect the requisite pages in question at   level, provide a warning to the user via their Famepedia user talk page, guiding them as to any local policies on the wiki and to user accounts policy, a global policy to which all Mirahezians are obliged to be bound, and then consider a local block if the problem continues. Hope that makes sense. :) Dmehus (talk) 03:44, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , well thank you for the good advice. After their global lock, I have unblocked them on Famepedia. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 05:12, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , I have now blocked their sock account because they are abusing multiple accounts to promote themselves. I have no problem if they appeal to unlock their main account,  (which is unblocked on FAMEPedia) but it looks like they only want to have their article published on FAMEPedia in any way and that's the reason why they are editing! I am not sure if FAMEPedia allows self promotion,  does FAMEPedia allow self promotion? If so, I have no problem in letting them create the article they want but since their main account is locked I wouldn't let them create the article from any other account. They'll need to appeal the lock first and create that from their main account. ~ Mazzaz (talk)  14:23, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speaking on FAMEPedia's local policies regarding whether self-promotion is allowed or nah, FAMEPedia is founded on 5 pillars including but not limited to Being Civil, Editing from a Neutral Point of View, No Firm rules, Free contents and Encyclopedic contents. So in any way, If a user wanted to write about theirself, then it should be from a NPOV then as long as it is cited reliable citations/sources, then they are good to go. Notability isn't a strong rule at the moment, But that shouldn't make a user to create other accounts while one is blocked, It's called Sockpuppetry and It totally not allowed unless the other accounts are disclosed on the main account.
 * So I believe with this, I've answered so many questions. Ugochimobi (talk) 16:46, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , thanks for the explanation! Well I can see a lot of BLP's which are either unsourced or their author has written content demonstrating that the subject is notable but actually they aren't like the case of Farhan Rana Rajpoot. He still writes that he has over 1,000,000 subscribers on YouTube, but the channel link he points out has only 23 subscribers, I checked. So, do we need to delete all these type articles or draftify them (although I will prefer deletion)?. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Taking strictness aside, Let's draftify them because hundreds of these users you see on FAMEPedia are users who their articles were either 1. Marked for Deletion on Wikipedia, 2. Their articles were rejected on Wikipedia, 3. Or any other reason, probably blocked or something. So yes, we might draftify them, there's actually a script to Draftify articles on FAMEPedia, you could probably find it on my common.js locally. Thanks. Ugochimobi (talk) 17:16, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * While I understand that really anyone can write about themselves on FAMEPedia as long as they're neutral, the issue here is that many of those users later go to other wikis, namely Commons, and self-promote, upload images about themselves and make user pages talking about how great they are, how big of a "celebrity" they are, and so much more, all of which violate local policies on those wikis. In the past 3 days, we on Commons have had Farhan Rana Rajpoot and Josephwcarrillo go on there and self-promote, both originated from FAMEPedia. I ask that you please add a notice when creating a page stating that users cannot self-promote on other wikis (such as Commons, Meta, etc) where this is a violation of local policies and copy/paste the contents of these article onto there. I know we on Commons can probably add a notice too asking users to be aware of local policies but by adding a notice on FAMEPedia, you can prevent spam on other wikis where notices don't exist and also prevent users from even thinking about it. While I understand that these users probably operated on good faith and didn't know that it was a violation of local policies to self-promote, as outlined before, such a notice will make them think twice before spamming. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:49, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information but firstly let me correct something, I love when facts speak for themselves without any qualifier, just like the many users you stated above, I think lately it is only few users, about 2 of them that was reported self-promoting themselves on commons. And I think the easiest way to stop that shit is me, Being more active on Commons so that they'll know that the same users on FAMEPedia are also on every other Miraheze projects. And then I'd probably add a notice about self-promotion on the notice that appears whenever an article is being created. Thanks very much. Ugochimobi (talk) 22:08, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * First of all, thank you for your correction, indeed, recently, only 2 have been warned and banned from Commons for self-promotion and there are also just 2 others who came from FAMEPedia and uploaded images of themselves in a semi-promotional way but haven't spammed and have obliged by the local policies so far. I do believe I overexaggerated when I said that many of those users later go to Commons, most don't, it's just a few problematic users who do. Additionally, this issue isn't one that is only contained to FAMEPedia, it's also Gyaanipedia who has users go to Commons and self-promote. While lately, it's only been ~2 user, there have also been others who have originated from FAMEPedia, like Iamsyrs (who was banned on FAMEPedia and who self-promoted on Commons), Mr Bittu Official (attempted to self-promote and had their page deleted) among some others who haven't been banned yet because moderation on Commons seems to be a bit lacking. Regardless, Countervandalism is a group effort, your suggestion of making your presence seen on Commons is a very good one, like that, they'll see that they can't easily spam or claim that they didn't know they couldn't do X thing because if you've already warned them. I also think that maybe Commons admins could add a notice reminding users that they can't self-promote, that way, both Commons and FAMEPedia pitch in to try and avoid self-promoters. While I understand that they act in good faith, some abuse that good faith assumption and evade locks and self-promote even after they've been warned and by maintaining a presence on both wikis, you can help ward off cross-wiki abuse. Once again, great idea, and thanks!  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 22:49, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I do believe that FAMEPedia's policies are user-friendly ones and only vandalism or cross-wiki spammers that wouldn't abide by these policies. They're too simple to be disregarded. And I also believe that if Commons set out some local policies that FAMEPedia also states then we're all guided by same rules then no one tries to self-promote when Commons states that Self promotion isn't accepted. So yes, concerning my Appearance on Commons, I think I should also take commons as a very close sister wiki to FAMEPedia because indeed they are, Many of FAMEPedia's pages also regard Commons. There's even a template on FAMEPedia called Commons category. It is used to link Media's in FAMEPedia that are also present in Commons. I think that is why those 2-4 users went to Commons, Lol. But Whatever the case may be, We'll combat this cross-wiki spamming together, I believe this doesn't happen only between FAMEPedia and Commons but also in other wikis. Ugochimobi (talk) 21:01, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Most verily indeed. I see that some users might confuse Commons as being the same as FAMEPedia because FAMEPedia links to Miraheze Commons when uploading images so users may confuse the two. I don't think many users know what a free/non-free file is, I think maybe the upload page on FAMEPedia could be redesigned in a way that allows users to learn a bit more about what that means. Today, we had someone from FAMEPedia self-promote which led me to discover that. Maybe the page could be revised to give users a bit more info about what licenses are and to make sure they understand what Commons is and what FAMEPedia is. I also believe that mediawiki:Extension:UploadWizard might be able to help as we can help guide users using the same extension used by Wikimedia Commons and maybe we might be able to add a notice alerting users that Commons is not for non-free images/self-promotion and we can direct them back to the wiki they came from. I will pass that suggestion to the Stewards/Commons admins but my suggestion about maybe redesigning the upload page to lecture the user about what free/non-free images are/that Commons doesn't allow self-promotion still stands. Let me know what you think, thanks! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:36, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

, that's what I wanted to do a few days ago but later Farhan Rana Rajpoot drew my attention towards them. I have seen many users (on FAMEPedia) who upload files without licensing. Maybe we can add more info about licences and revise that page in such a way that users will know that commons is not same as FAMEPedia. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 05:45, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think a lot of users don't know that FAMEPedia != Commons and that's why they self promote. I'll go on FAMEPedia maybe later today and help draft a proposal and help patrol the wiki if that's alright with the administration. Hopefully we can get something done. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:51, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * All your suggestions above are much appreciated, Actually when I was installing that upload script (File upload wizard) on FAMEPedia, I thought of that (showing a guide on what Non-Free contents are that is why when you look somewhere around in the File Upload Wizard (I can't remember the specific place it is), you'll find a page that links to Non-Free contents and I believe a user that doesn't know what a Non-Free content is would love to check the page to see that. So most times I think the few users who go to vandalize or self-promote themselves are very much aware that they're not supposed to do so. Some are intentional vandalizers. But we'll see how we could work this out together. Thanks. Ugochimobi (talk) 15:43, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Global lock for

 * Lock evasion . They created the article mh:Gyaanipedia:Farhan Rana Rajpoot on Gyaanipedia as a part of their self promotion. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 09:26, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ by Reception123. However, they made another account to evade that lock, which I have requested him to lock for lock evasion/abusing multiple accounts. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:48, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And that account has been ✅ for lock evasion. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:57, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't believe a lock was necessary here, and am unsure why Reception123 locked the user for what was really a very, very soft form of spam. We typically only lock automated or mass controlled spam only accounts/spambots. Given that the Gyaanipedia, Famepedia, and similar wikis are proliferated with self-promotional users creating user pages to promote their acting or singing careers, I don't believe we should be locking one user and not the others. That being said, I can appreciate the approach Reception123 took as it was entirely in good-faith but definitely very much an edge case, at best, as I had a similar recent case on Miraheze Commons where I contemplated whether the warning of a potential global lock would be appropriate, but ultimately decided that a warning of a local block would be appropriate. As such, I would kindly ask that Reception123 revert his global locks, and instead ask local administration (notably Mazzaz or even yours truly, in the case of Famepedia) to implement any local blocks as may be required. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 02:33, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The issue was that they massively advertised it on the Miraheze Commons Wiki and even here on Meta, which doesn't allow self-promotion at all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:17, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, still, as I say, pages can be creation protected at  and the user can be locally blocked in that event. Dmehus (talk) 13:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

VisualEditor not working on my end
Over the past month or so, VisualEditor has pretty much stopped working for me. On DifferentHistory Wiki, it's enabled in extensions, and yet it's not possible to use on my end. As an administrator of the wiki, I tried fiddling with the settings to get it to work, but nothing. Even weirder, fellow administrator (and wiki founder) Trevor807 has been using it without issue.

On other wikis (I've only really tried the Reception Wikis), the option to use the VisualEditor is present, but I get the same error message every time: "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500)".

The weirdest part is that, when opening this very page in VisualEditor, it worked fine.

I have absolutely NO idea what's going on here. BNSF1995 (talk) 04:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I've used VisualEditor on over 6 wikis without a problem, it does appear to be an issue on your end. I suggest maybe clearing your cache.

CheckUser request for MaisVocê Rules Est 2020:
Over a week ago, her account, Encantadia Rules Est. 2016, was locked for abusing multiple accounts, but guess what? She came back under a new sockpuppet account, with this proof to prove she's evading locks and sanctions. I ask that a Steward to please perform a CheckUser on her, not only from the behavioral evidence that was shown, but also still showing the same mentality from the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki by messing with someone else's sandbox like she did previously under other sockpuppet accounts. There's plenty of evidence there showing this. Thank you for reading. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:40, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

 * In addition to what Void has said, I would just add that this is something Stewards can do, provide local administrators are not recently active. Both of those wikis had either fairly active or very active local administrators (especially the latter one). Dmehus (talk) 21:31, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe you can ping @DarkMatterMan4500 here can do it Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Preference would be for you to message him here. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 21:35, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll grant you the confirmed statuses for a while. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:34, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * What does it mean for a while this is not temporarily? Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:36, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You only need it temporarily until the system gives you autoconfirmed automatically. Dmehus (talk) 21:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * What I meant is this permanent Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:39, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive IP troll on Nonciclopedia Wiki that needs to be dealt with:
Uhhhh, I've been noticing this IP editor getting into an all out edit-warring session with another user as seen from this history here. Someone just put an end to this already as it's getting out of control. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:30, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh that's bad maybe I can ping @Void I just talked to him about giving me user rights up above Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:34, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There's no need for the ping here. We're both active and monitoring this noticeboard. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Dmehus (talk) 21:37, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and I'm terribly sorry for not providing you any context of why we suspected Inkster was using his TZoneM642 account, as I should've explained it to you if you were around to see it. So, I think this should clear up the confusion why you thought you didn't see any evidence. I actually wrote it on Discord too, as MarioMario456 did the reporting first thing. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Generally speaking it's probably best to not engage with a troll on another wiki where you don't have admin. It's better to clean it up once and be done with it, then force the issue to get drawn out by edit warring until an administrator shows up.
 * In any case. Blocked and cleaned up locally. -- Void  Whispers 21:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * @Void I think you mistaken DarkMatterMan4500 with MarioMario456  Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:43, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I thought perhaps so, but no, if you look locally, MarioMario456 was edit warring with a long-term abuse case on that wiki, I believe. Dmehus (talk) 21:46, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I stayed out of it, as I'm just realizing that it's better to revert once, then watch the fireworks from there. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:49, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh by the way, Doug, remember when you told me to remind you about Commagate and Cmon? (Sorry if this is off-topic,) but if you can remember, there was plenty of behavioral evidence from a blog post regarding Larryding in question. These comments from Commagate and from Cmon should be an indication of such, and not just from the excessive spamming either. In fact, it's strange how those 2 users would suddenly know about this blog post, and write a reply to SuperStreetKombat like as if they were socks of Larryding.

Yeah, there's been a number of problems with the wiki, and not just the userbase themselves. They seem to be okay with insulting other users, resorting to vandalism, abuse, homophobia like this example, and at worst, racism from here on the wiki this Requests for Comment is about, and this has been through some form of scrutiny for a few months now. The users in there tend to stalk other users (not saying all of them do, but for the vast majority, they do), such as one incident revolving around VosVosKitsune. I don't really get what their beef is with her, but as far as I am aware, she did do terrible stuff like 2 years ago, and constantly holding grudges against her, even if she is just minding her own business on one of the wikis she's administering. This needs to end immediately. This wiki is literally the Kiwi Farms of Miraheze, even if it's private. Their hate page on reception wikis and these recent change logs clearly show the systematic and unresolved Content Policy and Code of Conduct violations on the wiki. —<span style="color:red;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#f00,#c04);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#808,#40c);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#20d,#00f);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">456 15:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * A good example would be their constant stalking against a user, VosVosKitsune, and they think it's okay to still poke fun at her even after 2 years of the drama being supposedly laid to rest. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:04, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 that's an example of a user conduct issue, for which the noted user was ✅. If users such as Eiji or Inkster continue in this vain, they will continue to be globally locked. That does not mean deletion of the wiki is required. Dmehus (talk) 16:37, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ I'm not seeing enough enough of Content Policy issues that are both egregious and systemic. If we deleted wikis merely because of a problematic page or two,  would've been deleted awhile ago as crucially, like with that example, this wiki's bureaucrats have been amenable to making corrections or deleting problematic pages when requested by global functionaries (notably, Stewards). Additionally, as a private wiki, while they are still obligated to adhere to Content Policy, there is some degree of additional latitude given. My question, though, is how you are able to view this wiki without local   access? Dmehus (talk) 16:35, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

I have a problem with my new wiki
Hello! Recently I made a wiki request that was approved, which you can see in this link: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/19224

The problem is, I don't have the rights of ManageWiki permissions in that wiki which is strange since I'm the one who requested the wiki, therefore, it should give me that permissions.

Hope you find a way to fix this problem! Agent on Discord said me "It's possible that an error occurred and you weren't properly attached to the wiki."

Thanks! Greg89 (talk) 19:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Massive vandalism cleanup request and investigation required for :
I am requesting a massive cleanup of vandalism and blanking from multiple disruptive IP editors on behalf of Dodekai, and if you look into the recent changes from today, and before, there's been nothing but a huge disruptive mess, and every time I reverted their vandalism, I would inadvertently trigger the abuse filter with no intention. It's been wreaking havoc there, and please help assist the founder with this atrocious mess. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:46, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, the vandalism seems to have been taken care of, but I'd still like the vandalism to be investigated as well. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:51, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

how does auto confirmed work? and does it say that i am auto confirmed
So my question is how does autocomirmed work and does it say in user rights log that you have been auto confirmed and does it mean you dont nead comfirmed? i am just confused. Gilimaster69 (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2021 (UTC) Gilimaster69 (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * also do autocomfirmed and comirmed do the smae thing Gilimaster69 (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Autoconfirmed means that you've been around long enough that certain protections (mainly against spammers and vandals who show up for bad behavior) are lifted because it's assumed you are a real user acting in good faith by now. The largest daily change is not having to fill captchas for edits. Confirmed is when wiki staff add this to you manually. -- Raidarr (talk) 20:46, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for Teen Titans Go! Rocks:
I have a strange feeling that Teen Titans Go! Rocks might be a sockpuppet of DearMaster6/The something guy mainly because they have claimed that the Lion King (1994) was a rip-off of something without explaining why it is. This diff from the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki, for example, is strangely similar to this diff, considering how both of them have said the exact same thing by claiming that the Lion King (1994) is a rip-off of Kamba the White Lion without even showing any evidence of it. I believe this is no coincidence that they are no doubt related to each other. Please note that they've made similar edits across other wikis in such a strange fashion. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:21, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Not to mention that the suspected master account, DearMaster6 also said something similar to what the 2 sockpuppets have said, with the same "It's a rip-off of X" claim, as shown on other wikis. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:41, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

About my friend who was globally locked due to being underage
As a full-groun adult in my home country (Thailand) i remmeber when my friend in California (the owner of the Sinma15191 and SKMedia Projects account) was angry that he lost his account on August 2, 2020, due to him violating section 8 of the privacy policy (which prevents children under 13 from creating accounts on this site). his BD is 2007/06/13, even though he claimed he was born a year later. He even used my gmail to spam unblock requests to the staff, especially to Zppix and Reception123, who have banned my friend from making further appeals, and advertised my accounts on other sites (sory for my bad engrish, i never learned it until 2013).Tanawat2002 (talk) 22:21, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Please help
I need people to hear my side of the story about what has been happening on Qualitipedia. I have been falsely accused of starting drama, and I am being treated unfairly even when I try to resolve the situation. Obviously nothing has been able to help. It really seems like things have gotten out of control. I can't lose Miraheze, it is all I have left. Every time I try to offer criticism, they act like I am trying to start drama. And everyone refuses to hear my side of the story and acts like I am the bad guy, and goes around spreading lies about me. There has been lots of drama surrounding me yet it was not caused by me. I have been the butt-monkey of both FANDOM and Miraheze for over a year now. I have been demoted, kicked around by trolls, blamed for starting drama, and blocked. I just want to contribute, and I don't want to cause drama. They blame me for being unable to take criticism when it seems like they can't take criticism either because every time I try to peacefully offer suggestions they just go and block me. I need Steward's help. I would hate for Qualitipedia to shut down but this CANNOT continue. I am tired of being the center of drama and I just want peace. Qualitipedia is all I have left. I have discussed this millions of times in countless blogs and posts, but it seems like people just fail to listen, start beating dead horses, and pushing me around whenever I try to do ANYTHING that goes outside of the status quo. I don't want to be the bad guy, I just wanted to have fun on Qualitipedia. I don't understand what I am doing wrong, all of the admins seem to hate me for no apparent reason. I will ping the involved users here because this has to stop ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!

I do not want any drama, or any finger pointing. The Content Policy literally says that wikis cannot cause problems that make it difficult for other wikis. Please be civil, because I have tried to be. And do not spread lies about me. And please read the policies on the main page of every Qualitipedia wiki before you start accusing me of breaking rules, because I have been blocked for breaking non-existent rules. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * And this is not even a problem that just involves me. There is not a lot of problems with the content on the wikis, but the users are a different story. The content policy says that wikis cannot cause problems which make it difficult for other wikis. It literally talks about the wikis drawing negative attention to the farm which has sadly happened. Also, it says that wikis should not waste Steward's time, which has also sadly happened. I am the main person being targeted, but Qualitipedia right now seems to be in a bigger state of turmoil than ever before in the history of the Reception Wikis. But what is at the front and center of it all. Well, users constantly playing the blame game by trying to pin the blame on another person rather than accepting ANY criticism towards the wikis. I have now been blocked on every Qualitipedia wiki just for bringing up a suggestion on how to improve the wikis. It is time that Stewards intervene. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:20, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The Code of Conduct even says: “ A community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.” It also says that wikis should not draw unwelcome attention to the farm.
 * There are no explicit Content Policy violations, but I feel like the Code of Conduct is being violated constantly with users spreading lies about me and constantly harassing me. I just want to have fun on Qualitipedia and instead I am being scapegoated for absolutely no reason, and mostly for past reasons which are months old and have long since been resolved.
 * I am not the only person who is having this problem. There is constant turmoil across the Reception Wikis. Whereas some of the wikis are more uneventful, a coup happened on Rotten Websites Wiki. Also, the Websites wikis are starting to become like The Outcast Network.
 * I really wish I had a lawyer or something, because this is just to stressful for me to have to deal with. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So in summary:
 * I am being blocked for either things that are not against the written policy on the main page of each wiki or things that happened months ago and have since been resolved.
 * I cannot deal with this any longer, it has become much too stressful, and all I wanted to do was have fun on the wikis.
 * It has become clear that the Reception Wikis cannot take criticism, as I have been indefinitely blocked for trying to offer a suggestion on how to improve the wikis.
 * I think we can also safely say that MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge are abusing their power by blocking me cross-wiki and saying I violated non-existent rules. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:31, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * They even made a blog which is mostly just a one-sided attack blog against me, since most of the things on there are either old news, greatly exaggerated, or just plain false. So I would definitely recommend investigating MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge for a potential power abuse case.
 * They even threatened to get the global sysops against me. I just wish they would stop attacking me and I could live in peace on the Reception Wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So I mostly request you to open an investigation into MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge, since they have clearly abused their power, and possibly have them both be desysopped. At least DuchessTheSponge since he has had it in for me before I even knew he existed.
 * Also they hate that I don't like swearing which is completely illogical since swearing is impolite and highly frowned upon, regardless of who is viewing the wiki. They call me an “anti-profanity SJW” which is literally just name-calling. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please don't lock my account, this is all I have left. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:52, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

The blog, for quick access and edification. I'm not sure about a fully user targeting blog, but it does make a case of its own for contrast here. --Raidarr (talk) 11:02, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * A lot of the things said in the blog happened months ago. Also, many of the bad things he said I did are not even that bad. They act like I am this evil drama causer who exists to cause chaos but that is not true, I want to contribute and help out, unlike what they think. But now I am banned from Qualitipedia for nothing. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:48, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, when I gave them suggestions and asked them to do things, they just ignored it. Rather than solving Qualitipedia's problems, the admins just sweep it under the rug and pretend like it doesn't exist. And they threaten to block me whenever I disagree with them. They have deleted my blogs and have attacked me constantly. Unlike MarioMario456, who isn't as hostile, Duchess has been hostile to me before we even met. Assuming good faith does not seem to exist on Qualitipedia, because the admins seem to make up their own rules and don't follow the policy listed on the main page of every wiki. Furthermore, they act like they own the wiki, when Dmehus himself said that nobody owns the wiki. Even if the content of the wikis seems good at first, behind the scenes it is utter chaos, with users arguing and playing the blame game. The fact that there was recently an attempted coup on Rotten Websites Wiki tells me that the wikis are clearly unstable and they need a leader, not a ruler. Believe me, I want to contribute to the wikis, but I can't contribute under constant fear of persecution. They even get mad at me for trying to appeal my block. Obviously Dmehus's suggestion of avoiding their talk pages did not work out, because they still attacked me. And unfortunately, since Duchess and Mario pretty much control the wiki, I have no choice but to go to them. Basically Qualitipedia's power structure is that MarioMario456, DuchessTheSponge, and DarkMatterMan4500 control the wikis. But it seems like MarioMario456 has ultimate authority since he seems to be the one calling the shots. There are other admins but they don't seem to be around very often. So yeah, I cannot contribute to the wikis if their ruler hates me. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:59, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And another problem is, I was blocked on the wikis where I usually contribute (Best Shows & Episodes Wiki and Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, so that is mainly why I haven't been able to do much. The reason why I have been contributing to Crappy Games Wiki is because it seems to be the most active wiki. Since my block was unfair as I have not violated any of the policies on the main page of any of the wikis, my block was clearly unfair, but since there does not seem to be any way to locally resolve this since I will just get blocked again and I cannot get through to MarioMario456 or DuchessTheSponge, that is why Stewards need to get involved. I cannot continue to live in fear of persecution for speaking my mind. Ironically, even though they claim that profanity is free speech, they censor any criticism towards the wikis, which is a clear violation of free speech. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:06, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

I am not admin of my own wiki.

Please Revert Last AbuseFilter Action on philosiverse.miraheze.org
I have an AbuseFilter set up to block certain things for role play reasons (the wiki is supposed to be a wiki in a fictional universe where these filters are required by law), and I accidentally triggered the filter when trying to fix a typo on a page. I tried to dismiss the warning, but I hit the wrong button and now all of my rights have been revoked! Please revert the last action taken by the filter (filter #1), and I WILL also disable “remove from groups” on that filter to prevent this from happening again once you do this!

I want back in SephSpace
A month ago, I was banned from SephSpace because one of Inkster's sock accounts manipulated one of the admins into thinking I did some bad things that cost me my access to the wiki. However, I gave a full explanation on what I really did on the Reception Wikis, thus debunking Inkster's lies about me. Plus, that sock account of Inkster is banned now, so do you think you can convince the admins of SephSpace to let me back at that wiki? SuperStreetKombat (talk) 19:00, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

 * As Bukkit pointed out, the local bureaucrats handle that, not the Stewards. Stewards cannot intercede for you with the bureaucrats on that wiki.

 * Your best bet is to get in contact with the local administrators through a Meta talk page, I think. Unless you have their Discord/alternative contacts you know are easier. If you can't find them on any, perhaps a Steward (or, and preferably, an existing member) can drop a subtle pointer to see your case on Meta. --Raidarr (talk) 21:27, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

How can i make a Small Article Banner?
I mean, if a article is very small, a banner at the top appears FranciscoLol2009 (talk) 16:50, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you mean templates like this one (save the text)? If so, what many do is copy templates from other wikis and import them to their own. You could try doing that. You can then insert the template into small articles. Note that templates are not automatically added onto articles if they meet certain conditions, that can be done with the use of a bot that scans pages and adds templates accordingly. If you require more assistance, I recommend you ask on Discord or IRC as it is easier to explain on there. Thank you! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:43, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Checkuser request
Based on a similarity in edit style and subject preoccupation, we suspect a user who was recently perma-banned from All The Tropes, Cwf1997, is ban-evading under the user name Flowersnf. Could someone please run a Checkuser against them to confirm? Thank you. Looney Toons (talk) 01:46, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi . I don't think there is enough information for the stewards to perform a CheckUser against Flowersnf. Please give more information/evidence about why do you think they might be the banned user. Thank you! ~ Mazzaz (talk) 05:08, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Could you explain what you mean? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:41, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Would like to close a wiki
Please permanently delete the wiki, as that wiki might not be useful anymore. Thanks, and sorry if I was typing short. Zocktersrat (talk) 02:41, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
