Hello, can lock my Miraheze account? I'm leaving Miraheze and will never active on Miraheze again. LoudLWN2020 (talk) 13:32, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Vandal on various wikis
Ilikemoney has been vandalizing on multiple wikis.

Here's some evidence: diff #1, diff #2, diff #3, and diff #4 DarkMatterMan4500 14:44, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you, this is a much better report. I haven't looked at all the users' contributions globally to assess whether a lock or further local blocks are required, but at least you've provided some of what you view as the best evidence of this user possibly being a vandalism only account. It is acceptable to use external links as opposed MirahezeMagic pseudo-interwiki wikilinks or interwiki wikilinks. I have made a small change to your report, by adding displayed text to the diff links, to reduce the textual bloat of the URLs. That would be my only suggestion for future reports. Your report should be reviewed in due course. Dmehus (talk) 14:53, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Please reconsider . It would be an incredible shame to lose you. 01:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, and I realize this isn't any way a vote, I your resignation request. Please sleep on it, and revisit your decision in the morning. I don't want to lose you, especially as an active interwiki administrator and security reviewer (which I know you haven't mentioned in this thread and is within system administrators' purview), as you bring a lot of php coding experience there and capacity to improve our in-house extensions.

Local administrator request
Hello, as an administrator of this wiki, I would like to request the expansion of the administrator role to these users: Rod, Acronius, Valdiu, and UncleStas. (To provide additional oversight on the actions of the administration (i.e. mass Vandalism by administrators), and also wiki currently lacks a wiki owner/steward to create new admins.) Gorbatov (talk) 00:46, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. While this is no obligation, if there are no local policies, it's probably a good idea to follow Meta's election policy regarding time and leave the election open for around 5-7 in order to give everyone time to comment. Otherwise, you can define your own terms such as the percentage required for someone to become admin (if they wish to do so). Once that's done, a local bureaucrat can close the election and assign rights to whoever is successful. Alternatively, if there is no active local bureaucrat you can get a Steward to close the election and assign the rights. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 07:46, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Why the hell did you shut down Fandoms/Hatedom!?
--Streetzbro (talk) 02:59, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Simply because that wiki, together with several others, had systemic Content Policy violations containing grossly offensive and unsourced, wholly negative and defamatory content about users. Additionally, many of those wikis' users violated the Code of Conduct with their block and edit summaries. In short, the wikis did nothing but trash talk other users. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 03:20, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Streetzbro, no need to make a topic heading that sounds overreacting or uncivil. -- H ookuai ( Talk to Nuclear Jaws ) 07:31, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You don't have to be so RUDE about it. It's just a wiki. Paprika (talk) 13:42, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * While I agree the question could've been phrased more nicely, I assume good faith that Streetzbro was reacting somewhat emotionally as a result of the loss of a wiki they frequented. It was an emotionally upsetting event, so I tend to cut people a bit of slack in that regard. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:16, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Local interwiki administrator request
Hi, I request local rights for interwiki admininstration for my wikis Lilypond Wiki · my little garden · Regionalbahn Weinviertel (although I said I would not need them, maybe this rights come in handy for some purposes), thank you very much Lily (Lilypond Wiki · talk and I will listen · my little garden ) 04:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for making your request for local interwiki administrator on each of your above three (3) wikis at community noticeboard. Please note that I have administratively moved it to this noticeboard, where it is now in scope. Requests for local interwiki table changes on wikis continue at community noticeboard, whereas local permissions requests which can only be granted by stewards should occur on stewards' noticeboard. A steward should attend to your request within a few days to a week, but I will make sure this is relisted, to prevent archiving, until it is actioned. As well, I thought I should also note this revision in which you noted that Manuela was your alternate account on one or more of those wiki(s), effectively making you the only local  on those wikis. Dmehus (talk) 09:23, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

We have a vandal on a couple of wikis.
Jobtherobber has vandalized the Awful Movies Wiki and the Loathsome Characters Wiki with some proof: Revision #1 and Revision #2. While he was blocked on Awful Movies Wiki, the same thing can't be said about the Loathsome Characters Wiki as he hasn't been blocked on that wiki yet.

 * Haven't looked at the contributions, but have you tried reaching out to a local administrator on that wiki to locally warn and/or block the user first? Global Sysops should only act if, after a reasonable period of time, vandalism has gone unremediated. If you have, then, yes, a Global Sysop can take action here. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 17:15, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I tried, but I haven't heard a response from them. DarkMatterMan4500 17:19, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks, I'll ping to take a look at your diffs, which will be helpful, and locally warning and blocking for now. If they continue vandalizing other wikis, then further action can be taken. Dmehus (talk) 17:21, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. DarkMatterMan4500 17:22, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ummm, the vandalism is still occurring and now he's resorting to removing content from pages as shown here, here, not to mention here also, and finally, this one. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 17:35, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Where have I heard this type of complaint before? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 18:14, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This needs more information. This seems like a content dispute. If the information is potentially libelous, you should e-mail  or, if very serious,  . Otherwise, I suggest taking this up with local administrators on that wiki. If you are blocked on those wikis, then I'd suggest taking it up with local administrators on their Meta user talk page, and engage in a constructive dialogue regarding your concerns. Thanks.

Vandalism
Hi, I have some vandalism on the following page: https://r2.miraheze.org/wiki/Trello. I don't know how to go back to an old version. Can you please help me with this and learn me how to go back to a certain version? Regards, Tim, Timboliu999 (talk) 16:27, 3 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I would like to apologize for reverting an edit without even realizing that it was supposed to be there. I won't ever do something like that again, and would like to say sorry for that edit I made. DarkMatterMan4500 16:34, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It's done. Interestingly enough, the last good version was ID 99999. Naleksuh (talk) 16:35, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Whether you are an administrator or not, you can simply edit the latest revision prior to said vandalism, and, when you save that revision, it will overwrite all subsequent revisions to the revision which you edited. Alternatively, if it is blatant vandalism and you have the  user right, you can simply rollback the vandalism. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 16:35, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * In this case, the vandalism was from multiple user accounts, and was somewhat more complex to revert. However, I have since reverted it, so this discussion is now archived. Naleksuh (talk) 16:39, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair enough, but even still, if all subsequent edits have been either vandalism or minor edits that can be easily restored, a restoration of the old revision could still be done. And, I did want to assist with correcting it in the future. Dmehus (talk) 16:42, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

 * First off, I wasn't even harassing you. There was a reason why I was continuously blocking you because you keep on abusing multiple accounts. So that right there is a lie and you know it. Second, I only said that to you because you were getting on everybody's nerves. And last, but most certainly not least, that proof barely even shows anything. So overall, I may not exactly hate you as a person, but you've been annoying nearly everyone else, including me on both Miraheze and Discord, and this is getting ridiculous. DarkMatterMan4500 00:22, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn't do anything, and plus you did that to someone else IvanTheGreat (talk) 00:35, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You're gonna get yourself BOOMERANG locked if you keep this lie up. DarkMatterMan4500 00:41, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You harassed a user, that's against Miraheze Code of conduct IvanTheGreat (talk) 00:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You also shouldn't be slandering other users like that. In fact, you shouldn't be lying to the Stewards about that, because all I did was say something in a way that would tell you to stop with all this sockpuppeting. DarkMatterMan4500 00:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That is a straight-up lie, and you know it. You haven't even provided any evidence to prove that. DarkMatterMan4500 00:49, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Both of you need to stop. Arguing with each does not look good for either of you. I suggest either handling it like an adult, or just avoid interacting with each other. That being said, I will look into this. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 00:52, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Look Zppix I just posted proof about him harassing people with quotes and he denies it... IvanTheGreat (talk) 00:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I was going to stop anyway. DarkMatterMan4500 00:54, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Still DarkMatterMan4500 that's against Code of Conduct. You might get a ban. IvanTheGreat (talk) 00:56, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I will be consulting with others to see if they believe action should be taken, as accusing users without reliable proof is against the CoC. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 00:56, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I just proved it, check the edit history. And the screenshot IvanTheGreat (talk) 00:57, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Ok then... IvanTheGreat (talk) 01:01, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, who were you referring to? DarkMatterMan4500 01:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hold up, I think I know. And shouldn't we close this topic now? DarkMatterMan4500 01:12, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This has been going on since yesterday. Ever since he raided our Discord server with multiple bots, (and even went as far as to having an impostor of me in the raid), I had to constantly ban them over and over again. It was repetitive, I know. But I'm just getting tired of all of this going on. DarkMatterMan4500 00:59, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Who raided the server, I wanna ask? Besides I am Ivan007 on Discord... IvanTheGreat (talk) 01:01, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

 * That's fine, I guess. DarkMatterMan4500 01:09, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌ if any user involved continues to accuse another user of something without proof, CoC action could be taken if deemed needed. Act like adults or don’t interact its that simple. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 06:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, no worries, it won't happen anymore. I think we should also close this thread. DarkMatterMan4500 11:50, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Was this page removed before by Stewards
https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki/YandereDev I am just asking this, since the stewards removed the page before. And the users didn't ask the stewards permission to recreate the page, similar to the Inkster page. IvanTheGreat (talk) 18:45, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * If it was deleted by a steward, it is highly unlikely the log entry for that page's deletion would be suppressed. Therefore, if there is no record of its deletion, I would suggest it is highly unlikely it was deleted by a global functionary. Dmehus (talk) 19:14, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I checked the deletion log and the page was removed before.
 * 22:43, 2 March 2019 Void talk contribs deleted page YandereDev (violates Terms of Use, see talk for full details) IvanTheGreat (talk) 19:25, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That's odd, as the Terms of Use is normally enforced by system administrators. Perhaps meant Code of Conduct? I'm not sure. It's possible the page is now compliant, I'm not sure, but this does nevertheless need either a steward or a system administrator to review, if the Terms of Use was indeed the policy cited. Dmehus (talk) 19:57, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Meh, looks like the page has resolved the issues it was originally deleted for. There's nothing that stands out as being immediately objectionable. I would have preferred to review, but as I recall, I think a review was asked for, and nobody got around to it. Also, it appears that my full rationale for deleting the page was deleted itself (here if you have access). I don't really object though, since it would possibly cause more confusion. -- Void  Whispers 20:41, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Can someone do a checkuser?
I think that this user is abusing multiple accounts (IP adresses). So can you use a checkuser on the following addresses? All of them tend to request things to other users against their wills. The main reason why I want you to do so is because that all of them seem to behave awfully similar to each other in the comment section but on differnt pages (Such as 20th century fox, blog posts related to Pokemon, etc).

 * I did not mean the original, I meant a new one, and when I meant a new one, I meant the one that wouldn't trash talk about users.
 * I'm basically calling for a re creation of the wiki because the problem with the original wiki is because of Code Of Conduct and Content Issues, it is possible that a re-creation can be made with good admins and actually take care of the fandom. Besides, I am just suggesting an re creation with good admins and no trash talking. SajZeal (talk) 05:35, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Oh and btw why didn't you edit the wiki before it had to shut down? Bruh, it was a decent wiki anyways. SajZeal (talk) 02:58, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No, sorry. The key problem with that wiki was mainly system Code of Conduct-related issues of that wiki's users and administrators, in their edit summaries, block summaries, and comments. Secondarily, it also had some serious Content Policy issues, which went unremediated and unaddressed. Dmehus (talk) 03:06, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Can it ever come back? SajZeal (talk) 03:10, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * What was the point of that wiki besides endless trash talking of Miraheze and Fandom users, though? That, to my way of thinking, isn't a wiki. I'd rather suggest that belongs on a Discord server, a message board, or a social media site's groups feature, if it belongs anywhere at all, personally. Dmehus (talk) 03:14, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So could you make a better version of Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms wiki? Like without the trash talking and that stuff. If you can... SajZeal (talk) 03:26, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Plus as well as addressing issues in the wiki and actually taking care of the wiki? SajZeal (talk) 03:38, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I would be hesitant to approve any wiki of this nature regardless of whom requesting, local policies, etc. Honestly, in my opinion, wikis of this nature have no place on Miraheze. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 04:08, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Well it's you're opinion anyways, but don't Terrible Websites Wikia and Crappy Games Wikia have a bit of a similar nature? I mean I still suggest recreating the wikia but cleaner tho. SajZeal (talk) 04:48, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

I have a question to ask
Why do my wiki requests keep getting declined? I'm not mad, upset or anything like that, I just wanna know why. Nersh1rtXD (talk) 22:36, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Firstly, your first request was declined per Content Policy as your wiki proposed to be solely a "shitposting wiki," as I believe you phrased it. Secondly, its purpose, scope, and topic was vague and unclear. And finally, you created a second request, rather than editing your existing request. Dmehus (talk) 22:44, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Oops. I guess I should've explained my request better. Anyways, sorry about that, while I did intend for the wiki to be humourous and satirical, I don't intend for it to be like the infamous "fun shitposting wiki" or "encyclopedia dramatica". I plan for the humour on my wiki to be more tame compared to that. I'll edit my first request and if I still can't host it here, I'll host it on another wiki hosting site. Nersh1rtXD (talk) 23:01, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I edited my first request. Hopefully the topic about what I want my wiki to be about should be more clear this time. Nersh1rtXD (talk) 23:20, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

I could suggest making a new and Cleaner Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms wiki.

The reason why the original Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms wiki failed because of its content policy issues and trash talking, not the nature of its wiki itself. Tell me, if the nature of its wiki deserves to go to Discord trash then why not Terrible Websites Wiki or Crappy games wiki, they have similar natures too. And just because the original wiki failed does not mean a re-creation can be bad as well, A good wiki must have good and responsible admins, and IT is possible for Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms to have good admins. I don't want Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms to fail and be forgotten, I want it to be improved. SajZeal (talk) 06:09, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Creating multiple threads doesnt change my answer in the last thread. WP:IMRIGHT. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 06:24, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Does not mean you don't have to listen to my points, its what I'm suggesting, I'm not trying to shove the "can you re create it" thing inside your throat. SajZeal (talk) 13:59, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You haven't articulated a clear purpose, scope, and topic for your proposed wiki, whatever you want to call it. "Cleaner Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms Wiki" sounds like "Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms" without cursing. With all do respect, if you really want to recreate such a wiki, Fandom is that way. Dmehus (talk) 15:16, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not really a wiki creator. I'm just calling for a Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms without all the problems in the original wiki. SajZeal (talk) 00:40, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Active wiki closed for inactivity?
Hello there, I am an administrator from Comic Crossroads and I'm not sure who to refer to but I have been facing this rather odd issue: for two times now, the wiki has been automatically closed for “inactivity” even though we make sure to regularly editing it, this has not been a problem before but over this month it has becomen more problematic. I don't know if the issue is already known or anything, but I hope this helps. If this is not the right place, I apologize, though please redirect me to the proper channels.

Regards, JoyfulKindred (talk) 14:07, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not a steward or anything like it, but this issue is already know as some wikis I looked into are closed, even though they are active. On the discord announcements channel, it said "We are aware some wikis have been marked as closed when they shouldn’t have been. If you are able, just go to Special:ManageWiki, and uncheck the close box, then click submit. If you are unable to do so, contact a system administrator." You can contact a bureaucrat in the closed wiki and ask them to uncheck the close box, then click submit. If a bureaucrat or you can't, contact a system administrator. Hope it helps.

Message
Can you make me an autoconfirmed user on the HVW? GrammaropolisFTW GoldieAndBearFTL Returns (talk) 13:07, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * There's a couple problems with your request. Firstly, I'm not sure what wiki "HVW" is. Secondly, a steward can only grant rights on local wikis in the absence of local administrators or bureaucrats. That is to say, there would have to be no active bureaucrats or administrators on the local wiki for a considerable period of time. Finally, as long as users have the  right on that local wiki, you can make about ten sandbox edits and become autoconfirmed, provided it's been four days since you attached your account to that wiki. Dmehus (talk) 13:53, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I think he's referring to the Horrible Vyonders Wiki. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 14:02, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I thought that was possible as well, but didn't want to assume that may be the case. Assuming that were the case, then, it won't be possible as that wiki is currently locked and made private by stewards due to serial Content Policy and Code of Conduct issues. Dmehus (talk) 14:05, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Request for my account to be globally locked
Hello, I'm starting to lose interest in the Miraheze reception wikis, due to the negative ones involving users (including mine) being closed for "Content Policy violations", and the reasons I include for good qualities (especially on positive reception wikis) seem too generic and I can't think of any, so for these reasons, I would like for my account to be globally locked. It's also the fact that Miraheze got a little bit toxic for me, since someone trolled me back in September and wished death on my dog (I've already reported him to be globalled for trolling and unacceptable username, but still). Me hiding his topics also apparently fed the troll, even if I only said one word in my reasoning for hiding his topics, like "troll" or "trolling", instead of including an emotional sentence or valid criticism in general, and I don't feel very lucky for that reason, since no matter what I do to stop trolls, it only feeds them. I know it's only one person I was a victim of on Miraheze, but yeah. -- Perry The Chiweenie (talk) 14:10, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * We're sorry to see you go, if that's your wish. The good thing is, you're not locally blocked on any wikis, so you have nothing to worry about when you return. Note that since you've apparently been targeted by trolls, that you may also wish to consider redacting your personal information and renaming your account, which is a process that system administrators can undertake for you. Such requests will need to come from your confirmed, registered e-mail address and be sent to ; otherwise, a steward or Global Sysop can lock your account for you, if you still wish to proceed. However, if prefer just to link to specific instances of Code of Conduct violations, we can definitely look into those, delete the problematic revisions, and take other actions as required. Dmehus (talk) 15:41, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I still wish to proceed, and I completely understand. When I’m targeted by trolls, I just leave the websites. Perry The Chiweenie (talk) 16:22, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair enough, though my preference would be see us take appropriate action against the trolls and the offending content. Nonetheless, I respect your decision and, should you wish to ever return, you may either (a) request an unlock via e-mail to  or (b) create a new account. In addition, should you wish to have your personal information redacted from your current account, this may still be able to be done by system administrators regardless of your account's locked status. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 16:45, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! Perry The Chiweenie (talk) 16:49, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you lock 's account for him as a self-requested lock? I'm assuming you probably missed this, but you can use the revision created by this reply, as it will capture both the original request and replies. Dmehus (talk) 03:30, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Can someone just remove this drama page

https://awfulmovies.miraheze.org/wiki/Blog:How_to_spot_a_Willg8686_alt: Notablely witch-hunting, the comments shown are also harassing the user. They have said that willg has a bounty hunter "basically a metaphor for killing him in real life" As for the page itself its biased, and is opinion disrespecting. Honestly the Reception Wikis should be banned like in FANDOM, these wikis are ruining Miraheze's reputation and should be gotten rid of. Thanks. Rolling1975 (talk) 14:47, 9 November 2020 (UTC)


 * There's a few points on that page that I personally feel should be removed, but the page, on the whole, likely doesn't rise to the level of being a Code of Conduct or Content Policy violation necessitating steward deletion. Noting you've raised the same point as, I would advise you to self-declare any and all user accounts you have on Miraheze, in compliance with user accounts policy, particularly since one or more users are partially blocked from this page and posting to this page in violation of a partial block or editing restriction constitutes a material breach of user accounts policy.

Request for Local Interwiki Administrator Role

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * per this revision. Dmehus (talk) 19:21, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I am a bureaucrat on snapwikiwiki and batfamilywiki and would like the local Interwiki Administrator role on these two wikis. We do not have any local policies regarding requesting this permission on any of these two wikis. I have read and understood the Interwiki administrators page. R4356th (talk) 17:56, 9 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I've pinged to this thread to grant you the requested local user groups on   and   Dmehus (talk) 18:03, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I see. Thank you very much. R4356th (talk) 18:12, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, is there a link to a local vote as required by global policy? John (talk) 18:15, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * My understanding is an election is only required for global interwiki administrator, or where local policies dictate permissions elections, as in the case of Lily's request for local interwiki administrator. Dmehus (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The RfC specified the same requirements for election to the global group would apply to the local group as well. John (talk) 18:25, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I am afraid I do not. But I am asking for local rights not global and the policy does not mention votes. You should update that. And the RfC is not linked on that page, too. I want to withdraw this request. R4356th (talk) 18:40, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this policy page was always confusing as it did not reflect all of the passed requirements of the RfCs on the matter, namely this RfC and this RfC. It's now been updated, and I do apologize for this miscommunication as reflected by the apparent mismatch in the policy page (in place since its creation) and the two RfCs. Accordingly, I'll withdraw this request for you and, for now, I guess you're stuck with me adding interwiki links for you. ;) Dmehus (talk) 19:20, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Vandalizing ruffian on multiple wikis:
This guy is not only a vandal, but also has an inappropriate username Evidence #1, Evidence #2 (Although it got deleted by me), and Evidence #3. (The blog post on #3 has also been deleted as well.) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 23:59, 9 November 2020 (UTC)


 * That user can be locked as a Username Policy violation alone. If all or most of the edits across multiple wikis are blatant vandalism, then it is a vandalism only account. I haven't assessed it yet on that latter basis, but definitely it meets the criteria for a bad faith Username Policy violation. Dmehus (talk) 00:10, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I am happy to say that the account has ✅ by . Cheers! DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 01:14, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * He's back again. But this time, he's just flat-out insulting the admins. This is the revision before it was given the deletion tag DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 14:50, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So, yes, this is vandalism, but FaketyFackFackFack has made only one edit on one wiki, for which they are ✅. So, I'm not seeing a need yet for global action by stewards or Global Sysops. If you believe the user is related to Spain is so strange, well, you would need to supply roughly 2-3 of the best diffs from that user's previous accounts, in order to justify a CheckUser. Please note this evidence cannot simply be generic, simple vandalism, such as page blanking, that is common amongst all vandalism only accounts. There has to be obvious behavioural evidence patterns which clearly show the user accounts are connected to the same person. Otherwise, for locking as a vandalism only account, the evidence needs to be occurring on more than one wiki, and it needs to be continuing whereby a lock mitigates further damage. Dmehus (talk) 16:44, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Minor point: This is a separate report of vandalism, so really should've been reported as a separate thread or, ideally, just reported on  on IRC or   on Discord. No need to change it now, but just a point for the future. Dmehus (talk) 16:49, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Great, I have something I need to report to you guys on there DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 19:53, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
