Hi. What do you mean by "the argument that there are not enough sysops is invalid" and "I've waiting for you to see more interaction with Miraheze users"? Additionally, i feel that the number of admins are NOT ENOUGH. When I used the template, it showed like 12 admins and it does not match. There are less than 10 admins here on Meta (excluding alternative accounts of certain admins), and the template are nearly spammed by cross-wiki spammers.

Discussion notifications
As you have probably noticed by now, Site updates have not been sent/updated for a while. The main reason for this is the fact that there was not an interest in it, and there was not enough information that was worth sending to users monthly.

I am sending this message to the Site updates list because I would like to propose a trying out a different type of notice sent to users. Instead of monthly updates of a limited number of statistics (which can be consulted by users anyway), staff would instead notify interested users if there is an interesting discussion (on Community noticeboard or Stewards' noticeboard) or if there is a local vote on Meta. Currently, there is no incentive for many users to visit Meta and check recent changes to see if there is anything they would be interested in, so this system would fix that and notify users of that so they can join in the discussion whenever there is one.

In order to subscribe to these notifications, please add your name in the same format to Discussion notifications/List, and you will start being notified on your talkpage. If there is interest in these notifications, they will be continued.

Also, please note that at least for the time being Site updates will be discontinued (since all the statistics are available anyway).

JJBullet (talk) 14:56, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Check User, Interwiki admin, oversight and steward are restricted groups for global users that can only be set by certain people. Crat and Founder likely require you to go to Special:ManageWiki/permissions and select which groups should be able to add them and then go to 'Group Assignments' and tick the appropriate box. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  21:10, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

CVT Confirmation
Hi, per the recent reform RfC, this is notification that you are required to re-confirm your position from CVT to Global Sysop. Please submit a request on Requests for global rights before 11:00 UTC on Tuesday, May 26th. If you do not open a confirmation request before then, it will deemed that you have resigned your role. Thank you, John (talk) 10:43, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Your rights have been removed as you have not started a confirmation vote in the week following the RfC close. You are free to apply for Global Sysops rights at any time. Thank you for your contributions as a CVT member, John (talk) 12:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Question about this edit diff
Hi Zppix,

In the open Requests for Stewardship, I noticed that you removed an unsigned oppose !vote (see this edit diff), so am just wondering to see if that was either (a) in error when you added your own !vote or (b) intentional because the user's !vote was unclear and confusing (i.e., they voted as "oppose," but commented that the user is "active," which is definitely unclear and seems to conflict with the user's bolded !vote).

Cheers,

Dmehus (talk) 17:35, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Accident Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 01:21, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's what I thought. It's odd that it's an oppose but the reason suggests the opposite. Strange. Dmehus (talk) 01:29, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That was a bit of a confusing edit diff. It turns out the user had added a "strongest oppose" !vote to a closed discussion. Not only that, they didn't sign their post. Since they can't !vote in closed discussions and since I can't be certain they were wanting to !vote in the current discussion, I have not added it to the current discussion, and instead left them a note on their user talk page. Apologies for my error. I don't think you actually removed it in error; indeed, you hadn't. Dmehus (talk) 01:54, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Wiki request
Please reconsider your decision to decline my wiki request. While both your points are true, both the Gazetteer of wikis and Special:WikiDiscover exclude the number of pages a wiki has. Then users would have to go to Special:Statistics on the wiki to find out the number of pages of the wiki. Plus, the number of wikis on Miraheze is too big (nearly 5,000!) to list them all on one page, and to find a specific wiki, users would have to go through thousands of wikis on WikiDiscover to find the wiki they want. My proposed wiki would have accomplished everything that the Gazetteer and WikiDiscover would; additionally, it would list the number of pages on the wiki and provide easy access to wikis. Those are the reasons why my wiki should have been accepted. Sincerely, Tali64³ (talk) 17:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry but my decision stands. I don't believe that your reasoning alone dictates a need for a wiki for a feature and a page that already exists. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 16:08, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I just noticed this as well. I'm commenting here because I have declined a similar request for a gazetteer of wikis (either before or after Zppix). As I said in my response, I think it's a decent idea in theory, but feel like something that should involve a community discussion at the community noticeboard, perhaps. As part of that discussion, I think the proposer needs to make clear how this would be better than simply adding the needed functionality (i.e., columns) in Special:WikiDiscover or, perhaps, parsing the data using the API into an automatically updated, webpage form. My biggest reservation with this proposed wiki is that, like the Gazetteer of wikis, it would grow quickly out of date due to lack of updates (i.e., we are approving, on average, 10-20 new wikis per day and could well be at 10,000 wikis by next fall). So, I do also stand by my decision as well. Dmehus (talk) 17:41, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, it would be neatly formatted, give the date the wiki was founded, and have a summary of the wiki. Also, it would also have a template that states whether a wiki has NSFW content or not. Tali64³ (talk) 20:27, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

About Google captcha
Miraheze currently uses the verification code provided by Google. However, since Google Corporation withdrew from the Chinese market, the government blocked all its translation except the translation. It led to the fact that users in mainland China could not register or add the external chain. Chinese mainland was prohibited from making use of VPN. So miraheze could change a verification service provider in People's Republic of China? I don't know how to use English well，so I use the MT.城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 02:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi thank you for approving Seattle Wiki. It's a closed wiki(read-only) & should be very lightweight since Fandom is far astray from its original vision as Wikicities, when it was literally a wikipedia for other subjects. In other words, this is a tiny wiki, nothing huge. How do you feel about tiny, inactive Wikicities wikis being hosted as read-only archive (just to preserve the vision)? I don't want to look like I'm mad for power or anything -- I just wish 2000s Wikia/Wikicities would come back. A month ago I told someone else this. Thank you RMV2003 (talk) 20:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If it not going to be edited much I suggest you read and follow the steps here. However, it is no issue approving your request, I hope you enjoy using Miraheze! Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 20:19, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah it was meant to be read, so that's why I felt safe filing the request. Know what I mean about restoring old, inactive wikis as read only archives (with minimal edits & some clarifications)? Many people come here because they don't like how Fandom has gone completely stray of the original wikipedia vision it had. RMV2003 (talk) 20:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Excuse the double-ping but I appreciate your openness to hosting this. Thank you :) RMV2003 (talk) 20:40, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok so on Seattle Wiki i accidentally hit the import button too many times because the 503 error made me think that the process was terminated, but still seems to be on going. how do we get rid of the duplicate revisions to save on server space? RMV2003 (talk) 20:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * it shouldn't of duplicated anything if it is not completing the full import, follow the steps here. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 21:04, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'm new to this, so I'm learning as I go along. Sorry for trouble caused, is it ok if the wiki gets wiped & we start it all over? if ever the time comes, i'll remember this. going to need staff help with import. RMV2003 (talk) 21:09, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I can remove all the pages from the wiki if thats what you wish? Also this is no trouble! Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 21:12, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah remove all the pages and redo the import. RMV2003 (talk) 21:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay can you email the XML file to zppix@undefinedmiraheze.org? Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 21:25, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Check email RMV2003 (talk) 21:29, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

I’m sorry for restoring the Inkster page on The Starin, I promise I will never restore it again, please reopen Unfavorable Wikis & Users Wiki and The Starin, we will never restore the Inkster page at any of the wikis, I’m sorry :( - HellLord (21 September 2020 UK)
 * ❌ you were warned. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 14:00, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I promise, I will add a new rule where the one that restores or rewrites the Inkster page will be blocked - HellLord (21 September 2020 UK)
 * Unfortunately, you were given plenty of opportunities and you did not listen to Global Sysops or Stewards when your wiki was open. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 14:04, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌ Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 14:05, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Your apology is appreciated and helpful, but I would just note that the closure and making private your wiki was not just because the Inkster page was restored. I would just note that you should look to all the pages on that wiki, and remove any content or pages containing derogatory, defamatory, denigrating, harassing, or otherwise negative information (especially unsourced information) about Miraheze users or other real, living people. That is the fundamental problem with that wiki in particular.
 * Separately, please go into your Special:Preferences and update your signature timestamp format to comply with our established guidelines and specifications on Meta. Dmehus (talk) 14:06, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, do you know where the false information are, I will either delete the page or remove the false claims when I find out which pages have false information - HellLord (21 September 2020 UK)
 * I haven't looked through to much of that wiki, but I see serious problems on the Zenko page, based on my review of that page following a report about it about a month ago on stewards' noticeboard. That is just one example, though, and it is emblematic of what I view as a systemic problem on that wiki.
 * And your signature? Dmehus (talk) 14:17, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Regardless, you cannot edit the wiki its been closed. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 14:18, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I know, shall I reopen the wiki so I can remove the bias, and as for Dmehus, can you tell me the bias on the page please HellLord (talk) 15:23, 21 September 2020 (UK)
 * Nope you cant. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 14:24, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I will fix the wiki, please - HellLord (21 September 2020 UK)
 * If you would like to fix something, I would suggest starting with your signature. Dmehus (talk) 14:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

My miraheze
What would be a good way for me to attract more contributors to mywikipedia.miraheze.org. --Iron Sword 22 (talk) 20:52, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, indeed there is ways to attract more members into your community I will give you a few examples below but these are not guaranteed you will get members.
 * Your wiki should be something that other people would be interested in coming to edit at.
 * Putting your wiki on Google search engine can really help because Google is how users find your wiki.
 * Make sure the topic of your wiki is not taken meaning not the same topic as other wikis on Miraheze.
 * Good content is a good and most important thing make sure your wiki has good quality content and is not copied and pasted from other wikis or other sources including Wikipedia however if you do copy and paste sources from Wikipedia make sure to credit it to avoid copyright issues.
 * Make sure to keep your contents up to date and have a wide selection of content's the bigger the wiki is the more results there will be on google for such said wiki and as I mentioned above Google is how people find your wiki however if you copy and paste contents from other sources it will not rank well on Google and the lower the rank on Google the less chance of your wiki have a good spot on Google search engine.
 * These are some things you should consider as starters and going over this list to make sure your wiki does the following things I would recommend using this as a started good luck with your wiki and if you need help feel free to ask --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 21:05, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
