Please, delete Reiaasu' Wiki
Hi, I'm the one who started Reiaasu's Wiki. Sorry my bad english...

I've started this wiki because I wanted to share a lot of ideas and interests on a webpage. However, I'm very busy in my real life (wife, little son, work, etc.), so I don't have the time to organize the ideas and content that I wanted to put on the wiki. So I think the best option is to close the wiki.

And, in the future, if I have all the content properly organized, would you allow me to re-create this wiki?

Thanks for providing to me and for everyone a free MediaWiki-based wiki (and one that looks like the standard MediaWiki, not a weird thing like Wikia...)

Help with private wiki
Solved ;-)

Merge accounts
I've had a request to merge two accounts here: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Topic:Tn1hvc57uwgq5n6a

I think if both emails are confirmed, we can be reasonably sure that the account can be renamed or whatever. --Labster (talk) 07:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I know that this is an old thread, but it is possible to globally merge multiple users using CentralAuth UserMerge. However, the UserMerge extension is required for this to work. -- Amanda   (talk)  14:51, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Un-Private (?) Inkubator
Not sure how/why non-members cannot read any pages on inkubator.miraheze.org, but I'd like the entire wiki to be readable to the public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bt109 (talk • contribs)
 * This is because you requested a private wiki. However, this can be changed by any system administrator Amanda (talk) 00:39, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * For future reference, requests such as this should be directed to phabricator. It might be a good idea to add a section on this to the FAQ or the header. -- Void  Whispers 01:06, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I will change the wiki to private and add the FAQ question. It is already in the header though. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:46, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of knowledge.miraheze.org
I have no interest in continuing [knowledge.mirzaheze.org] so please would you delete it. I have other projects to focus on. CnocBride (talk) 21:17, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Globally lock I.Am.Awesome
I request that Special:CentralAuth/I.Am.Awesome be globally locked due to cross-wiki abuse.

The user created several inappropriate pages on WikiCanada and was blocked indefinitely as a result. The user then abused talk page privileges and therefore such privileges were removed. The user is also indefinitely blocked on TestWiki due to inserting nonsense into multiple pages, and proceeded to deface the Main Page at Hidden History Wiki.

I think that's more than enough to warrent a global lock, although I'll ping for comment as they made two of the blocks. Amanda (talk) 00:18, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Note that the user is now socking at both TestWiki and WikiCanada. Amanda (talk) 01:03, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I would like to make an additional request for a CheckUser as it is odd this user uses both TestWiki and WikiCanada. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 05:07, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ❌ on WikiCanada. I don't see enough evidence to warrant a CU and thus I will not authorize a CU on WikiCanada. Amanda (talk) 11:05, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * For the record, I still request this CheckUser on testwiki. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 11:24, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

WikiCanada CheckUser request

 * User:WOW


 * User:I.Am.Awesome

The former user is blocked indefinitely on WikiCanada for being a vandalism-only account. They currently have an unblock request open stating that they are sincerely sorry. I am convinced by this unblock request by itself - however searching through deleted contributions I have a feeling that the user could be connected to the latter user, who is globally locked. I request CheckUser for further information before taking action on the unblock request.

Note to checking steward: the "check user" group on WikiCanada is defunct - you need to use the "steward" group. Amanda (talk) 22:30, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Handled by NDKilla. Amanda (talk) 23:53, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

CheckUser
I would like to request a CheckUser of this spambot. The global account was locked by, but it is only the most recent spambot that started on my wiki (WikiCanada), so I would like to block any ranges necessary to prevent further disruptive behavior. -- Amanda   (talk)  13:31, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

bureaucrats rights + private wiki
Hi, I'd like to get Bureaucrat rights on the following wiki page which I adopted yesterday. Initially, I thought I had the rights, however when i tried changing the wiki from public to private I was told that I dont have the permission to that. Many thanks, Paulius.
