In regards to your wiki (mhgaz.miraheze.org)
After a mistake-approval for your wiki, I would have to advise no work be done on it at the moment. I will be requesting that a Steward delete the wiki, because the wiki at gazetteer.miraheze.org is currently blacklisted, pending the community discussion, which has not yet concluded. I apologize for my mistake and any inconvenience it might have caused. Another thing worth noting is that when a discussion on the community noticeboard is ongoing, it is best to wait for an uninvolved person, such as a steward to close the discussion before acting upon it. 23:55, 12 August 2020 (UTC) ］ |

Re: Hey
Hello, I did read your message regarding Crappypasta Italia three months after you left it to me because I was not active. I saw you were not around anymore so I did not answer you, thinking you probably were not going to read it anyway.

As for Bad Creepypasta Wikia, we have set it to private for the time being because one of the Wikias of its network has recently been targeted by vandals and we wanted to just have one Wikia to look after, but is temporary. Some pages of Bad Creepypasta Wikia have been also put on LOLPasta Wikia, though. Thanks for taking interest and have a good day. Grand Albert (talk) 17:13, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

User talk:Peyton dodson bot
Interesting your idea of making a tutorial on how people ask for a wiki and get it accepted (because most are being declined, and there is none page about this). However, I recommend that you don't create a talk page, for all users who ask for the wrong wiki, (insinuating to them that their request is wrong) because most in the beginning don't even know how to sign their comments and cause confusion. Also, it is a comment from peanut gallery comment YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 21:01, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I moved it to Guide to writing wiki requests, as it seems like a more appropriate name. Tali64³ (talk) 14:44, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to offer a counter opinion; if a guide is unfinished, it should remain in the userspace so it is more clearly unofficial. If it is a work in progress it should also contain the Essay template to further mark it as a collaborative, but not necessarily commonly recognized work. Only when it has been reviewed by multiple sets of eyes clearly and is optimal for what it is, should it be presented as a cumulative work and a proper guide/piece of documentation. --Raidarr (talk) 14:54, 15 December 2021 (UTC)


 * , you may tag it with essay, I see no problems. I wanted it to be moved to the mainspace because (a) not every user feels good to edit other's userspace and (b) it can be more visible in mainspace than in the userspace. --Magogre (talk) 15:16, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I tagged it. Thank you for your input. Tali64³ (talk) 15:17, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Primarly where I am coming from is a) userspace editing is a matter of expressed permission and is no issue if that is granted, and b) the visibility should accompany being ready enough to be taken as representative of the mainspace. It's a semantic discussion however, and something I'd address elsewhere. --Raidarr (talk) 15:42, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I think my wiki request has enough information to be approved. Tali64³ (talk) 03:44, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not a matter of sufficient info, but because a wiki that is general to the scope of all wikis is something we've had before, and has not gone well. Ergo it would take exceptional persuasion (or 'fat fingers' :p) for the request to actually be approved. That said, I know at least one external wiki on the wider internet that covers this subject if you're interested. --Raidarr (talk) 10:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

An upcoming update for the Charactapedia reboot + announcement of a new addition
With the Charactapedia reboot still in development, I'm planning on giving the wiki an update, with the installation of its official logo. This logo will be 70s'-styled and consist of an abstract "CP" in yellow, with the wiki's name underneath it in the Capuche font.

Additionally, I have made a new addition to the Charactapedia reboot. This addition is the character infoboxes. They resemble one of the old revisions of CGW's game infoboxes, but utilize a yellow and blue color scheme instead of just a green color. ShawnTehLogoBoi (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * This didn't need to be a topic on my talk page. Why not make a page in your userspace on Charactapedia detailing this? Tali64³ (talk) 18:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay then. I'll move it to my userpage. ShawnTehLogoBoi (talk) 18:14, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to the wiki creator team + helpful tips
Hi Tali64³!

First off, I want to start by welcoming you to the wiki creator team. Thank you for volunteering! As you are no doubt aware, the Content Policy is our key global policy that guides us in creating wikis for our users. Essentially, every wiki needs to have both a clear purpose, a valid, discernible scope, and a topical focus. This is the main criterion that helps us to determine whether a wiki will have any potential Content Policy problems.

Second, I wanted to share with you a few tips that I found helpful when I first joined as a wiki creator:


 * 1) Study the wiki creator's guide. It contains many best practices, some of which are required steps wiki creators are required to undertake in approving requests.
 * 2) Private wikis. Private wikis can generally have a shorter description and a less specific purpose, scope, or topic, but they do still need one. If you have some reservations about approving it as, say, a public wiki, due to that vagueness, you can tell them, in your comments prior to approving it, that you're approving it only as a private wiki and remind them to ensure their wiki complies with all aspects of Content Policy;
 * 3) Subdomains. Subdomains are critical parts of wikis and shouldn't be overlooked. Make sure that each wiki request features a valid subdomain which matches their topic and, if a wiki request is not in English, that their subdomain clearly reflects their non-English affiliation, mainly when the subdomain requested occupies a generic, broad, non-specific English word such as "humans," "italy," and so forth. For example, if you encounter a request in French for a wiki whose requested subdomain is "biology," you should decline it and ask them to change the subdomain. Acceptable subdomains in this scenario would be ones which clearly distinguish the wiki's non-English focus, such as "biologie" (French for biology), or "biologyfr". Subdomains such as "mywiki," "wiki," "wwwwiki," "mywikipedia," "testingwiki," "934897wiki, "jmifnvjnrejwfewwiki" and such should not be accepted as the first 5 are overly generic, non-descriptive and as such, invalid subdomains while the latter two do not relate to any subject and are gibberish.
 * 4) Eurovision song contest and fictional worldbuilding wikis. These are two types of wikis that have few, if any, problems with them. So, as long as there's a clear sitename, URL, and at least a few words in the description that indicates this as the purpose, it's fine to approve them;
 * 5) Minecraft, Polandball (specifically Polcompball), and Roblox. Many communities related to these games are seeking hosting at Miraheze. While it's great that wikis choose us to host them, what's not great is that they tend to be some of the messiest wikis. Due to these games' target audience (consisting mainly of persons under 18), drama tends to be abundant and userbases are sometimes rowdy. Hence why additional scrutiny is sometimes given to wikis embarking scopes related to these games. Personally, I almost always ask that requestors certify, under penalty of wiki closure, that they have read the Content Policy and Global Conduct Policy and promise to abide and enforce it on their wikis. This assures us that they've read global policy and are aware that any sort of disorderly conduct is prohibited on Miraheze. Wikis which seem to be schisms of larger communities should be paid extra attention as these generally end up causing plenty of drama and usually tend to be results of disagreement within wiki leadership;
 * 6) Communities considered "toxic." Pursuant to the Content Policy, we do not accept wikis which have a toxic community, whose distinguishing features are listed in our policy. As such, we don't like to approve wikis which relate to forums such as 4chan due to their general association with 'toxic' communities. This however is not a blanket ban on wikis which associate with that community. We do host some wikis such as wikis which consolidate information used by certain boards on topics such as games. That in itself is fine as long as the Content Policy is abided. If in doubt about approving a wiki, please ask another wiki creator for a second opinion.
 * 7) Reception wikis. Pursuant to a recent Request for Comments, we are no longer accepting reception wikis on the farm. If you encounter a request for one, please do not accept it. If in doubt, ask another wiki creator or Steward for assistance.
 * 8) Duplicate wikis. Whenever possible, try to Google the topic which a wiki focuses on to ensure no duplicates already exist on Miraheze about that same topic. Remember, duplicate wikis are against the Content Policy;
 * 9) Google topics! If you're unsure about a topic references in a request, please Google it. If it weren't for Google, I personally would have approved a wiki related to white supremacy, harassment, and gray area topics, all because I was unsure about what a topic mentioned in a wiki request was about. If in doubt, Google the topic that the wiki request mentions to make sure what you're approving. This is vital of wiki creators;
 * 10) East Asian language wiki requests. These ones are tricky, but cause us arguably the most grief, particularly when they publish personal information of real people without their consent. Stewards have, in the past, closed swaths of Chinese language wikis following a detailed report on Stewards' noticeboard. If you are unsure about an East Asian language wiki request, feel free to decline and ask for more information as many times needed. Because we lack the proper manpower to oversee these wiki sometimes, it is particularly difficult to moderate them from a global perspective thus necessitating that you deeply scrutinize these sorts of requests;
 * 11) NSFW wikis. These wikis are sometimes our biggest sources of headaches because of the vast complexities of the topic. Accordingly, we scrutinise these requests extra to ensure proper compliance with the law and to ensure smooth sailing. In accordance with the principles of the Content Policy, we like to ask wikis to confirm whether they have read the section of our Content Policy dealing with these sorts of wikis. Ask users if they promise to abide by the rules there under penalty of wiki closure and ask them to certify that their content is legally allowable in the United Kingdom;
 * 12) Conditional approvals exist. Remember, you can conditionally approve a wiki. If they deviate from this approval, it is within your right to request the wiki be closed for deviating from the approved scope and conditions. If iffy about a request, you can set conditions on the wiki approval which sets boundaries on the scope and focus and restricts a wiki in what they can focus on;
 * 13) Google Translate. Don't hesitate to use Google Translate to review non-English public and private wikis. Notwithstanding the above point, most of these wikis' descriptions translate surprisingly well. As you've probably already noticed, I like to copy and paste the translated to English description into "request comments," so other wiki creators can see it easily. This is optional, but it's a good practice; and,
 * 14) Don't hesitate to reach out on Discord and ask for a second opinion. If you are still unsure about approving a wiki, or just want a second opinion, don't hesitate to reach out to any wiki creator on Discord on #wiki-creators. This might be the most important guideline.

Cheers,

Wiki creator
Hello, Tali64³. Congratulations on your successful request for wiki creator.

Another wiki creator has suggested that you join our private chat, where we can share information with you about wiki creation and where you can ask anyone else about things you are not sure about. Looking at your user page, I see it says on your userpage that you've made 24 wiki requests, almost half of which were declined, which is a bit concerning. Nevertheless, it is not too late to learn things and if you would like to join, that would be great. Would you be interested? If so, have you used IRC before or would you like some help?

 * First, you'll need to find a hosting provider to allow other people to access your farm. Then, install MediaWiki from its official website. Afterward, install CreateWiki using Git or download it from GitHub. If you want to allow any registered user to create a wiki, assign the  right to the user group. EditThis.info's wiki creator isn't open source, so there's no known way to install it elsewhere. Tali64³ (talk) 12:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

It gets tiring...
Can I just ask what specific things I can do to get my wiki approved? I've proposed making it a private wiki for myself only, yet it appears as though my requests have fallen on deaf ears. I don't get why you keep taking down my requests when I have been nothing but accommodating and conciliatory towards the demands of the staff. Strasser (talk) 00:35, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm currently discussing with other wiki creators on whether making your wiki private would make it approvable. I still haven't gotten an answer, however. Tali64³ (talk) 00:38, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Keep me informed if anything changes, ok? Strasser (talk) 00:39, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Unicode
Could you please RevDel the edits and edit summaries so I can edit again? Bbbtest (talk) 15:29, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Generally, edits and edit summaries will not be revdeled unless they have severe Content Policy/ToU violations. The edit summaries on Free Editing Wiki have not violated such policies, so they won't be deleted. Asking this on my Meta talk page is also out of place. Tali64³ (talk) 16:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Then how am I supposed to edit the wiki? Bbbtest (talk) 18:02, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You could try using JS again to hide the Unicode characters (be careful to not accidentally prevent yourself from editing like you did last time). Tali64³ (talk) 18:28, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I tried, but it just generated more of the characters :( Bbbtest (talk) 19:50, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi
I accidently deleted the special page thing as a test, can u restore it somehow?? Saber The Tyrant (talk) 20:17, 3 March 2023 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by "special page thing"? In any case, I can't restore it as I don't have the permissions to do so. Tali64³ (talk) 20:20, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Tali is not a member of SRE, which is what you're going to need here. I've already left a note so someone will see it. I think it's fair to say you probably shouldn't delete or otherwise mess too strongly with a crucial namespace in the future. You can and will break things. --Raidarr (talk) 21:09, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Can someone restore the wiki Saber The Tyrant (talk) 22:10, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Your wiki was deleted for Content Policy violations, particularly unsubstantiated insult against the administrators in your school (log action) Tali64³ (talk) 22:14, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It was not an insult. I was stating fax that the school is administrator obsessed, ask that, clearly obsessed with getting more school administrators Saber The Tyrant (talk) 18:48, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it was a little more than that. Sorry, I don't see the Stewards undoing this one. If you want to pursue an appeal you can send an email to stewards@. --Raidarr (talk) 19:04, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

 * The original idea of Free Editing Wiki was to be a place where anyone could do anything. Having certain restrictions in place would be contrary to that goal. Tali64³ (talk) 20:42, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Why can't we change to a "nearly free" (as in minimal restrictions) editing wiki? Bbbtest (talk | contribs | e-mail | please vote on my adminship ) 20:52, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * And if you did change the wiki's "scope", why would that necessitate deleting legal content? Bbbtest (talk | contribs | e-mail | please vote on my adminship ) 20:55, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah no, the 'nearly free editing wiki' is something it was trying to be despite clearly wanting to be something else and the name makes it more obvious. The individual pages being 'rule abiding' doesn't fix the wiki's scope having been nonexistent. As I already told you this overlaps greatly with other wikis but is more shamelessly without a point. Please stop with this tangent as nobody including the wiki's founder is buying it. --Raidarr (talk) 08:34, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
