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).

 * A wiki can be in fact used as a diary, haha. You can request a wiki at Special:RequestWiki. Please be sure to check the box labeled Private so that when the wiki is created, you are the only one with the ability to read and edit the wiki. You can add other users, but that is completely at your discretion. If you need any help with the process or have any questions, please let me know. It might be better to move talk pages though, so we don't keep sending notifications to Reception123. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 17:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I asked 30074. Cute-axolotls (talk) 17:56, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Global Sysops/List
Why does "Total number of global sysops" say zero? Bbbtest (talk) 18:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The technical name was recently updated, thanks for noticing - it is corrected now. --Raidarr (talk) 20:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Adding NotAracham as an IRC operator
Hi, per the conversation at #miraheze on IRC, I would like to ask if you would be okay with giving op permissions to NotAracham. OrangeStar (talk) 16:44, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * First, why did you post this to multiple user's talk pages instead of to a centralized place?
 * Second, there is currently a precedent that IRC op permissions are exclusively given to stewards, SRE, and bots. Changing that would likely require something like IRC/RfC or similar.
 * Third, I am sorry to say but I actually do have a problem with this. There have already been enough issues with the current user rights they have, and I don't see a reason to add even more especially to a platform that they don't even use. This is another way to create "power-users" and repeat previous mistakes of Miraheze. Naleksuh (talk) 17:19, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you're right, it would've been better to just open a thread at the CN and ping them.
 * I do have to say though: IRC/Global ChanOps mentions how non-SRE/Stewards may become IRC ops. It's not like I disagree with you on your third point, but there aren't really many people to pick from for IRC op. If you want though, you have my support. OrangeStar (talk) 17:39, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with #1, a centralized message with pings would have been best. On-wiki notifications weren't strictly needed as all of them I assume would have been notified via IRC of the request already. Well, it's done. #2's precedent is weak enough overall that it probably wouldn't require a full RfC, but clarifying a change to the precedent or establishing a better one is something that should be done soon. #3 is going to need something in the way of evidence because you are the only one I've even seen make jabs at NotAracham (which I've never seen substantiated anyway) let alone expressed a valid issue with the rights he has or their use. --Raidarr (talk) 18:14, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Free Editing Wiki
If the rules I proposed were instated, could the wiki be reopened? Bbbtest (talk | contribs | e-mail | please vote on my adminship ) 18:26, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
