Template documentation
Hi Doug, I have implemented a template documentation in the publictestwiki for demonstration purposes. To these two templates I have added the documention Template:RfP/boilerplate Template:Draft-section so you can see how it looks like. If you think this is useful I (or anyone else) can copy the template and the associated module to other Miraheze wikis. I have translated the text that is displayed in the template pages but not all the comments in the module, a native speaker may improve the translation. Before I spend a lot of time for translating the German comments to English I will make sure that this feature is wanted on Miraheze, if not I will save my time ;-) Lily (Manuela) (Lilypond Wiki · talk and I will listen · my little garden ) 17:18, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Adoption
What are the requirements for adopting a wiki? Musicismylife (talk) 06:55, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * There's no set requirements, other than the wiki (a) must be closed per Dormancy Policy and (b) generally should not be manually-closed (some exceptions apply here). From there, Stewards will assess quantitatively and qualitatively your contribution(s) over the following week(s), typically, to assess your commitment level to the wiki. Hope that helps.

Yo:
How have you been all day today? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Fine, thanks. Dmehus (talk) 03:51, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Please help me
How do I cancel my username change request? Musicismylife (talk) 01:10, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Musicismylife ✅ per your request. Additionally, I'd note you were just globally renamed a month ago here. Global renames are intended to be done seldomly. As a recommended best practice, it's usually good to leave your username the same for at least 12, and ideally 24, months, absent very compelling reasons to change sooner. For what it's worth, I like your current username. :) Dmehus (talk) 18:07, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

You told me to remind you this:
Yes, as you can see from the header section, you told me to remind you to look into Commagate and Cmon, as there is a lot of behavioral evidence from this particular blog post warning other users about Larryding, thus these comments from both of them, and even an additional comment from an additional sock account. Now tell me, doesn't this seem to be over the top suspicious for them to come to that blog post using socks to deny or argue in that same post? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:37, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I don't know that the user is Larryding, but there does seem to be a connection to Commagate and Cmon. Dmehus (talk) 22:23, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * But please do tell me what you find when you're done investigating. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:46, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wait, so Bakerbeat5 had no relation at all? That's strange. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:55, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not even sure you're correct in thinking that the users I ✅ are Larryding. I think they are just run of the mill disruptive sockpuppets. Dmehus (talk) 22:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So I'm going to guess that Bakerbeat5 isn't related to Commagate and Cmon, right? If not, then perhaps a different master? But then again, I thank you for locking those 2 along with any additional accounts they had floating around. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That's correct. It's possible the user is a sockpuppet of a different master, but unless you can provide me with compelling diffs showing a likely target, we won't know that. :) Dmehus (talk) 23:02, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile, I've noticed 2 spambots that came to my  within 2 weeks of each other, like LoganIaf63045 and ESSElinor3002, along with multiple series of spambots that I reported on the Stewards' Noticeboard previously. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:27, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Found a potential target that could very well be connected to Bakerbeat5: Lastflash. Lastflash has asked DeciduousWater534 in such a strange fashion. Not to mention this user, Bakerbeat5 has replied on Commagate's talk page saying something similar, asking people to put random characters on the wiki. Don't you think that sounds familiar?

Wiki request
Can you help me create x-men of steel.miraheze.org? Iron Sword 23 (talk) 22:50, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Warning fake accounts
Can you explain what these accounts are created every day, with random person names on Podpedia (none of the accounts edit, they are just created for nothing) This is not the own site owner creating fake accounts, as the same happens on the AllTheTropes wiki (because it of having many users). And this also happened on a wiki I use. The difference is that they always put "your real name" as seen on their user pages with the SocialProfile extension. YellowFrogger (talk) 02:07, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean by "fake accounts," but they look like either spam only accounts or spam only accounts in incubation that have yet to edit or otherwise attempt to spam. They'll likely be caught up in regular Steward-conducted spambot sweeps, so not to worry. That being said, perhaps that wiki could be suggested to disable their new user welcome extension that greets new users including spam only accounts. Dmehus (talk) 02:12, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You can safely ignore those, they're just spambots, they're everywhere. Just check that wikis Abuse Log, you'll see a ton of those bots have tried to create spam pages on the wikis and have failed because the Abuse Filter caught them. Until Miraheze can implement ReCaptcha v3, there's not much one can do. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:10, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Comments
How do I add comments to a wiki? Musicismylife (talk) 21:08, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure you can, honestly. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 21:37, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If you mean adding the plugin as the local administrator, there are several options in your ManageWiki settings. A wiki you're not admin on depends on the local situation, using the local plugin or the talk page. It's unclear exactly what you mean and I imagine Dmehus would think similarly, so I wonder which sense you mean, or if there's a wiki where they aren't working properly for you. --Raidarr (talk) 21:44, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Unfairly blocked from Qualitipedia again
I have been unfairly blocked from Qualitipedia again. I posted a message on Steward's noticeboard but since it has been ignored, basically I was banned for making a suggestion to add proposals on Qualitipedia, since I know that you said you wanted consensus on Qualitipedia rather than having all decisions made by a small group of bureaucrats. However, they rejected it and I ended up falsely blocked for "causing drama" when that is not true. And to add insult to injury, MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge made a personal attack blog against me on Crappy Games Wiki which is filled with false information and old drama which has since been resolved. Also, the comments section of the blog is filled with personal attacks against me, with people calling me names. They even accused me of being an “anti-profanity SJW” when I am not an SJW and I am fine with profanity, within reason of course. Also they said I wasn't there to contribute which is completely false since I did not go to Qualitipedia to cause drama, I did not want to cause drama, I simply wanted to contribute. The main problem is that I was blocked on the show wikis, which are the wikis I usually contributed to. So I think it is safe to say that MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge should receive a warning for abuse of power, I should be unblocked on EVERY wiki I am blocked on, and the personal attack blog should be deleted, since this has gone far beyond a reasonable discussion with Mario and Duchess. Furthermore, Mario and Duchess both act like they own the wiki when like you said, nobody owns the wiki. They have blocked me for things that are not even against the policy listed on the main page of every Qualitipedia wiki, and personal attack blogs are against the rules on Crappy Games Wiki. This needs to be resolved soon because I need to clear my name and get back to peacefully editing. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:26, 16 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Please help me, you are my only hope. I am being defamed, blocked, harassed, and attacked for no reason. Mario and Duchess are continuing to paint me as this force of evil. You are the only person who can help me clear my name. I need to be back on the reception wikis but I unfortunately cannot contribute to a place where everyone hates me and two of the admins are out to get me. And I can't even explain my innocence since Duchess and Mario are everywhere and I am just blocked anyway. The blog post I mentioned is spreading lies about me. Please listen to me and trust me, you are my only hope. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:38, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

So, you're back eh?
I've been concerned where you've been for the past few days, but it's good to see you once again. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:44, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Welcome back Dmehus. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 17:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Of course he's back, but he still has some things to take care of on the Stewards' Noticeboard, like a couple of CheckUser requests to respond to with either a decline or with action taken. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:10, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 21:30, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Now that you're back...
Is it time to give MarioMario456 his rights on the Horrible Music and Songs Wiki? I mean, the election has turned out successful and the wiki has became a mess so I felt like it's time for you to promote him. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 19:05, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * It turns out even with moderation enabled, it's still turning into a serious mess. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 19:11, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Good evening
Can you help me with a wiki request? Iron Sword 23 (talk) 22:40, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Regarding.... ugh.
So I saw you archive my discussion on SN, and I also read your note. The reason this requires Stewards' attention is because I'm banned from QP and I figured you guys are the only ones who can get to QP's moderation team. Because you guys are in charge of Miraheze, and control everything on it (not exactly, but you get the point). I need your guys' help. You may as well be the only ones who can enforce their actions being wrong.

I want the community to understand my criticisms and just listen and understand my viewpoints. I don't want them throwing 'em away or discarding them without even setting up a proper discussion or even explaining why — all my past attempts, it seemed like they didn't want to be criticized, as if criticism towards the wikis hurts their feelings, as if they were upset because I was criticizing them. And I certainly don't want people to live in ignorance, regarding things such as the quality of the Lion King sequels.

I was wrong for creating the Cuties threat in the first place, yes. I was wrong for being immature, yes. But all I wanted for them is to listen to me, and see where I'm coming from. FreezingTNT (talk) 23:44, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's worth reiterating that the Stewards are incredibly reluctant to enter and overhaul local decision making, especially when a local system is already in the process of overhauling itself. As critical as I have been, MarioMario456 in particular has taken steps to address some root problems, which complicates a blanket narrative against their willingness to improve (though, I can't say the same attitude is shared with every admin there, one of which is very offended by criticism and still in power). For my part on Discord mainly, I have attempted to stave off narrow 'he wanted to put Cuties on the good wiki!' with a broader look at what you were trying to do, in spite of it being poorly done. At this point, it's unlikely the Stewards will simply break in and act on your behalf.


 * As Dmehus mentioned however, the ideal here is probably to splinter to an independent project. That might have been the New Reception Wiki, but as I have noted it is administratively dominated by the QP leadership figures. So, a new new wiki would be necessary, and there *is* a niche for a qualitative wiki. If you want to collaborate with others in realizing that, it can't hurt to try if you really find the QP wikis irredeemable. For my part I think they have a chance. I could dust off a languishing side project and turn it into a meta discussion type wiki with full independence, so it can be used to iron out these details of an ideal format and keep the drama and the scenario off Meta unless it is strictly required. And for the record, I imagine a blog post on the relevant wiki would suffice in giving a full impression of the Lion King sequels. The article can perhaps document strict reception, and reviews can be presented alongside it so people can get an audience reaction, and then see in-depth input for themselves. Frankly I don't think it's the biggest problem in the world for people to understand why a particular set of Sequels is bad. If it is necessary, there are options. So let us consider them, but at this juncture, probably on a more local talk page (yours or mine) until/unless the alternative wiki is put to use to have this conversation natively. --Raidarr (talk) 11:14, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

I'll summon the QP mods (,, and ) right here, and see what they think (in regards to all of this).

And in response to some of your pointers...

"For my part on Discord mainly, I have attempted to stave off narrow 'he wanted to put Cuties on the good wiki!' with a broader look at what you were trying to do, in spite of it being poorly done." Where can I find that? I just joined the QP Discord and can't find it myself. And what was the response from the others?

Regarding creating a new wiki from scratch. In my pile of criticisms in the other thread, I pointed out that there'd be backlash from defenders/fanboys of various media such as The Last Jedi and that even if they do explain why that specific article is wrong then the mods won't take those specific bad qualities down because it's apparently what the general public believes regardless of minority opinions. Alongside my other criticisms here. The reason I also chose QP as the place to lay down my criticisms for the Lion King sequels is because it has a huge (well, not that huge) community, especially for a series of wikis that point out the good and the bad, and a decent amount of people do know about the existence of QP, so I figured more people would acknowledge my perspective if I put my criticisms onto something a decent amount of people had a connection to and history with — it's not like I'm gonna magically create a super-popular YouTube channel and create review videos for the films and magically get all 7 billion people on the planet to watch them within a single hour, which would be literally and logically impossible and time-consuming!

"And for the record, I imagine a blog post on the relevant wiki would suffice in giving a full impression of the Lion King sequels. The article can perhaps document strict reception, and reviews can be presented alongside it so people can get an audience reaction, and then see in-depth input for themselves." ??? (As in, I don't really get what you're trying to say regarding specific parts...) When they were originally on the Awful Movies Wiki, before they were deleted and put onto the Greatest Movies Wiki, I believe (I'm not sure if this is accurate) the articles did list the receptions (both movies were loved by audiences), and the Simba's Pride article listed videos from those criticizing the movie. The bad qualities for both articles mostly listed criticisms I've come across on the Internet myself that I generally agreed with; they are indeed opinions (the existence of plot holes, contrivances and other things based on what actually happens in the movie aren't, however; I'm specifically talking about whether it is a good or bad thing), but you can argue the same about any other review in existence, and that's literally the point — while art is subjective, there's things or annoyances (in terms of, for example, the characters' behavior such as being annoying or irritating) or imperfections that would make it more likely people would criticize the work in particular (I mention something similar in the original thread).

FreezingTNT (talk) 19:19, 26 July 2021 (UTC)


 * So in regards to expanding the topic I'll make a suggestion; if we are to expand this in a full and largely locally relevant discussion, then I would consider the second part of my point in recommending a non-meta outlet to resolve the issues and leaving Steward intervention to a 'strictly necessary' basis - even if it is an independently controlled wiki, be it my alpha project or some other, or even a discord area with far less chance for moderation kneejerks. It may not be on QP proper, but 'it' should be a related place to iron out a proper and actionable case. If it stays on Meta and especially on a Steward's talk page, then the contents should be very topical; be they the concerns with reasonable speech/consensus having a chance to form, or potential content policy violations, or something with noted steward intervention, ie, Void's comment here. This is why I suggest an alternative platform, even if QP itself may not want to humor the conversation (although if it doesn't, that may be something for global staff to take a look at). As for overall attitude (ie, overall receptions), even if there are plot holes and poor elements to a written story, it seems to be QP's desire to put article locations into a 'sum' of three pillars - unprofessional but audienced reviewers, critical reviews and user reviews, with rare exception if say, two out of three overwhelm the one (as in the cause with Cuties) and vaguely in that order unless an exception is necessary. It's not a well documented policy, but that is how they address it; if this is poor, should be changed, etc is something that should be a local discussion, or at least in a suitably close area. For the record, if you want to tell the world what you think of a particular thing and why out of audience, it seems like a dedicated blog (and even going past Miraheze since Reception Wikis are not the best you can do if you're particularly good) would be the avenue to push for. And also for the record, I can guarantee most of the QP mods are unlikely to engage with this because just my own engagement has made this too long already, and in this case I wouldn't blame them for it. In word count, issues about QP already dominate this page alone and the preference is generally to move forward. --Raidarr (talk) 21:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

become staff
Hi, how can I become miraheze staff? thanks.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 06:46, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

 * ok, thanks. Msnhinet8 (talk) 08:10, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's important to remember that Miraheze Limited doesn't really have any staff. It has volunteer positions which are either appointed by the board, elected or otherwise selected by the community, or appointed by members of the technical team who are ultimately selected by the board-appointed Director of Site Reliability Engineering. Over the years, the term "staff" has been used to describe members of the technical team, but it's woefully inadequate as members of the technical team's responsibilities are limited in scope and tend to be more specialized and technical in nature. With the addition of the board-appointed Trust and Safety team, it's even less accurate. Dmehus (talk) 18:57, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

So:
's been globally blocking open proxies from a disruptive troll for the past 2-3 weeks now, and for some reason they've been finding ways to come back with even more open proxies. Also, in the meantime, there's been some disruption from (which has been locked anyway, but could still be investigated at your discretion) considering this personal attack (which had to be hidden) and Reception123 thinks it might be a sock if it attacked Gay Socrates, which seems to be unusual to me, considering how the user in question that I was ignoring for a while decided to talk trash about me again, and he also implied that he doesn't want to be here anymore.

A little more housekeeping
Hello there. I believe the other stewards have been a little too busy to address these points, so I raise them here and hope I can bump their ranking in priority: This is not to distract from other things such as the adoptions and needed investigations, and I'm aware I've delivered quite a number of pings recently. My apologies for doing so. Wish there were more viable hands on deck to help out, but alas. If there is something I can do to reduce the backlog in limited capacities that don't strictly require a steward but would otherwise fall to you from lack of volunteers, I'm open to hearing it. --Raidarr (talk) 16:35, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Requests for Comment/Community Directors (Amendments): I believe the results here are conclusively positive across the board and that it would be best for this to at least be approved quite soon so that it can be updated and in time, put to use. I've mentioned this in passing during a discussion about the Board on discord, and I believe it would at least somewhat help perception for this particular block to be lifted (so to speak, given the passage of time). I would volunteer and I know a few others would volunteer to put the details into their appropriate pages, so long as basic confirmation is done.
 * Requests for Comment/Landing page redesign: while not as conclusive, I believe this has similarly run its course for input and would benefit from closure. It does not prescribe a particular action and so I doubt there's anything that can be done with it, but I digress.


 * Raidarr Yeah, the two RfCs are on my radar (no pun intended) as well. For the first RfC, I've expressed a view there. While we don't have any policies precluding involved closures, though a bit of a custom if not a convention among stewards is to avoid them where possible, given the nature of the RfC, I don't feel me closing that would either advisable or in the best interests. That being said, there was no opposition expressed to any of the proposals, so it would be impossible to close any other way. Nevertheless, I was going to ask NDKilla privately to close that when he gets a chance. Regarding the other RfC, I've also expressed a view there, but as you say, it doesn't really prescribe anything, so it's not clear any action would result. Anyone can always take it upon themselves to redesign landing page, or any other page, and then bring them forward for discussion. I may consider an involved closure there, but will add that to the list of tasks for NDKilla to perform. As for the requests for adoption, that's on my to-do list this weekend, as is any outstanding global renames and other minor housekeeping tasks. Dmehus (talk) 16:59, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * You say this but ignore the others on the Stewards Noticeboard without being busy as well. If you don't want to continue the conversation, choose not to talk. Yellowass.png (talk) 17:06, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If you have a problem with my activity, by all means raise it on my talk page, otherwise you are out of scope here. --Raidarr (talk) 17:18, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * How out of scope? If they're talking about busy stewards. Yellowass.png (talk) 18:17, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Window between wiki requests
The first time you pinged me I ignored it. As you are continuing to ping me forces me to clarify the intentions of the above.

As Meta has Requests for Comment, I assumed that Miraheze welcomed input from editors where they consider could improve it. From the noticeboard postings, Miraheze has some disruptive activities and IMHO with additional condition(s) on Request a wiki could help: As editors are required to Request a wiki, I assumed that Wiki Creators vetoed inappropriate wikis (why I joined) but now with hindsight, they only replace the absent automated system, that Fandom has.
 * 1) step 1 by controlling new wikis which I proposed above. I find it offensive your claim my intentions was a vendetta against SperosDurrell. I am fully aware of Stewards' noticeboard and its purpose for use.
 * 2) step 2 was to remove inappropriate wikis, what I and expect donors do not believe belong here. But in your rejection of above, you clearly stated that Miraheze policies are perfect and do not need modifying - and Miraheze is proud to host wikis like this, this and this.

Within the first hour as a Miraheze member, DarkMatterMan4500‎ accused me of being a spammer for a template I created on the Test Wiki to benefit and now in use on wikis. I joined Miraheze as escapism from COVID19 controls. But from the behaviour from you, other rights holders and editors, actually explain why COVID19 controls exist.

You have made it clear, I should be thankful to edit an ad-free, subscription-free Miraheze and no reason to visit Meta. So do not respond as I will not read or see any further pings. PercyUK (talk) 20:05, 14 October 2021 (UTC)


 * if you want to take it out on someone do me, not Doug. SperosDurrell (talk) 23:02, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * To clarify a couple things, I never claimed your intentions for proposing the RfC was some sort of "vendetta." Not at all. As I stated, I merely suggested that RfC was not the venue to deal with cross-wiki user conduct-related issues. Rather, stewards' noticeboard is the place to raise those sort of things. SperosDurrell was dealt with, and given a global user restriction preventing him from requesting more than one public wiki and from operating more than one user account. To your second point, again, I never said that. Rather, we have the tools and policies in place to deal with problematic wikis. I am not aware of those wikis, but I can definitely look into them. What are the issues? Dmehus (talk) 01:27, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Question
If someone asks on the Stewards noticeboard can I help even though I'm not a steward? YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 02:53, 16 October 2021 (UTC)


 * YellowFrogger Yes, absolutely, you can assist users where (a) you are completely certain you are able to provide information that is both helpful and completely accurate and (b) it does not require the intervention of a Steward, other than as a clerk to manage user expectations of course.

Why can’t I comment
Can you please tell me that? Carpenter family (talk) 00:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Carpenter family If you are referring to, it is because I gave you a short block to warn you and caution you to be civil to other users and to respect the Code of Conduct. You must not call them "retarded" or otherwise make uncivil comments about them, such as about someone's mental capacity and the like.

 * It honestly sounds better to just leave the place behind. It's a constant source of moderation work by the entities overseeing it (BallMedia and the Miraheze platform itself), so you'd be doing something of a service by letting it go.

Page Forms users
Hello. After getting stuck in making forms for my wikis, I'm going to find some help, but... I'm not sure if Miraheze's wikis did have any other wikis that use Page Forms for shaping articles.

Change the subject of my wiki
Hi, I would like to know if I wanted to change the subject of my wiki; for example to turn my "Characters Wiki" for all fictional characters into a "Fiction Wiki" that would encompass media, objects, and places with. Could I? Darkrai18 (talk) 17:53, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Darkrai18 Sure, you can. Thanks for checking to ensure your wiki's purpose and scope would be in compliance with Content Policy. "Fiction Wiki" is a bit vague, though. What sort of content would you be writing about? As well, if your existing wiki does not have much content on it and you're the only contributor to your wiki, preference would be for you just to request a new wiki here, as opposed to requesting a wiki database rename on Phabricator as database renames can be a tad messy and also don't easily track the origin of the wiki in Special:RequestWikiQueue, taking care to define a clear purpose and scope for your new wiki. If you no longer require your existing wiki, you can just make it private and mark it as closed, and, optionally, request that it be deleted, if you want to make the subdomain available for other potential wikis sooner than 180+ (or thereabouts) days. Dmehus (talk) 15:16, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Fiction Wiki would be about fictional characters as before but also games, franchises, places, weapons, ect... And if I would like to transform my wiki, and not create another one, it would be to keep my content. I'm not saying it would happen right away, I don't even know if it will ever happen, it was just to know if I had the right to change the subject of my wiki or if I had to ask permission first.

Help
How do I mark an edit as patrolled? — YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits )</b> 00:50, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * YellowFrogger There's a couple methods. I usually use the  method on pages on my watchlist, and click on the previous   link, then the "mark as patrolled" link appears. You can also use Special:RecentChanges, clicking on the   link (the current diff link) to mark an edit as patrolled. In that method, I right click on the link, launching it in a new tab, so as to preserve my RC page. Keep in mind, though, if it's the first revision of a given page, you have to use the   link to patrol the page, as there's not a current/previous diff page view. Hope that helps.

Request for Checkeruser Rights on Nicolopedia
HI, I request you to kindly give checker user rights on nicolopedia as I am the founder, administrator, bureaucrat of nicolopedia. I have total edits 1,215 on nicolopedia.Jiggyziz (talk) 15:35, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, unfortunately, we cannot give you CheckUser right off the bat. But, you can get it if you do a local election equivalent to Steward Elections. This requires you to sign an NDA with Miraheze Limited, do an election where at least 20 users have voted, and more than 80% have supported. Cheers, -- Bongo Cat (talk) 15:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Ideally requests of this nature are made on the Stewards' noticeboard so any Steward or able user might answer. In the meantime, the bar is very high per above and even then is granted strictly by trust and necessity; experience on individual wikis pretty much does not matter and the vast majority of cases where CU might be used should be made as reports to the SN, as Miraheze takes the ability to check people's IP very seriously. If you have a particular instance where it's needed, it's preferred to detail that instance on the SN so a Steward may investigate. --Raidarr (talk) 16:09, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Jiggyziz In addition to what has been specified above, while these rights can be granted locally as Bongo Cat described, and provided the prerequisite is in place and accepted, as Raidarr noted, any such local election could not be effected (i.e., put into place) until a second person had undergone the same requirements, as a sort of check and balance. Practically speaking, it is not needed. Stewards can perform this function for you, provided there's good reason (i.e., spambots, abuse of multiple accounts in violation of a local block, etc.). Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 01:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Adoption
Hi there, I know you're very busy (from what I've heard) but is it ok if I ask if you want ti look into my adoption request for nintendo.miraheze.org by Dec 3? The wiki I mentioned has been locked because it was inactive for several weeks, and it will be automatically deleted within early December or so (though I might be wrong -- could only be by February 2022, as wikis lock after 60 days of inactivity). Only two edits were made by the creator, and both were on the front page itself. RMV2003 (talk) 17:08, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

The New Reception Wiki

Hello

I need you to protect this page for auto confirmed users edit only: Template:YellowFrogger/ass (it's my signature)

Thanks --YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 03:37, 7 November 2021 (UTC)


 * YellowFrogger ✅ the page protection of your signature per your reasonable request, in terms of articulated rationale and not over-reaching (i.e., for  protection level). However, as the preferred location for userspace templates and user signatures is   namespace, I've ✅ it to User:YellowFrogger/ass. There were no existing transclusions, and the one backlink has been updated ✅. So, all will you need to do is update your preferences to reference the updated location. If you are substituting or transcluding your signature, you will just need to precede it with a colon . As in this example, you would use   or , depending if transcluding (former example) or substituting (latter example). You would also tick the box below the signature line to treat signature as wikitext. Hope that helps. :) Dmehus (talk) 16:09, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Please Help Just this part
Sorry if this bothers you, but I want you to help me. I swear it will only be this one time and I will not speak again. I want you to volunteer for this  'part' : I'm recently training my English so I don't want to use the translator because it has a lot of errors, as a Miraheze volunteer who can also phisically communicate one day with events that Wikimedia does (who knows one day?). With that, I want to start watching movies without dubs or subtitles. I joined a group on a social network where members posted various things there, including audios. I recently saw audio, with background noise and someone talking, and I want to know what they are talking about, and since you are a native English speaker (according to your user page), I want you to see the audio and say here what it is / means / what this woman from the audio said, just to kill my curiosity.

 * DarkMatterMan4500, thank you, though I do find it interesting, and perhaps a bit ironic, that rather than just direct message me on IRC to apologize or thank me on-wiki, as you ✅ for adding a peanut gallery comment, you add on an extraneous comment to an unrelated thread in which you asked me about some reports you made in on IRC (which I aim to review this morning in order to determine what, if any, action is required). It sort of seems like your edits on Meta could do with an additional set eyes for an undetermined period of time, eh? Dmehus (talk) 14:47, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're not wrong there. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:51, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, glad you agree...I'm thinking we should probably remove your  user group through at least the end of January 2022, after which you can make a request at Administrators' noticeboard for the flag, and if there's general agreement among the participating Meta administrators and any community members that choose to make a comment or otherwise express a view, it'll be restored at that point. How does that sound? Dmehus (talk) 14:54, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think it sounds fair. And until then, I won't be requesting any new permissions for about 3 months after this date starting today. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:56, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

 * SperosDurrell Thanks for the reply. Looking through local contributions, I'm seeing less than ten (10) total edits to the wiki, all of which were quite or very minor, so this suggests to me you're still merely interested in requesting, and having created, wikis with no content on them. I would note, though, that you're still not restricted from requesting one private wiki for your personal notes, rough drafts, other ephemera, and things, provided it remains a private wiki, of course.

That's a lot of wikis, and I'm not sure how you could reasonably manage them all by yourself, or largely by yourself. That would be quite taxing on both community and technical volunteer resources, too.

Quick question
Hello. I have a quick little question for you. Yes, I do promise to cease this behaviour immediately. But I have been wondering about something. While my IP address's global block is 3 months and is probably set to expire soon, how long are my other accounts locked for? It's actually quite scary to have my final warning on maturity. If I fail to listen to what you're telling me (which I hope doesn't happen), I will get my account locked. Again, I promise to refrain from this attitude immediately. CookiesandCream01 (talk) 17:36, 22 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I might as well answer your question, as is currently doing something else, but there is no expiration date on accounts that are globally locked. And to further exacerbate things, I don't know if I could trust your word on that. I'd like to hear from Doug as well, as this is his talk page. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:59, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for answering my question. Also, please don't worry about things! You can trust me on ceasing the behaviour, I won't do it again. Thanks for helping me out, means the world to me when someone helps! CookiesandCream01 (talk) 18:38, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * CookiesandCream01 In addition to what DarkMatterMan4500 has said above while watching my user talk page, while the restriction is indeed indefinite, I should make it clear that you're not prohibited from operating multiple accounts. Your restriction simply requires you to create your alternate accounts ideally while logged in to your main account, using Special:CreateAccount and either entering a password for the accounts or, also ideally, requesting a temporary password be sent to your current e-mail address. Alternatively, should you create an account logged out, you must confirm it is your alternate account (usually on a user page somewhere) by having your main account say that it is your alternate account, and then having your alternate account confirm its main account via its user page (or similar). You can ask to have this restriction lifted, but I would strongly advise that you wait at least three months before requesting this, to provide enough of a track record to see you operating your account(s) in a constructive and non-deceptive fashion. As to unlocking your sockpuppet accounts, some of them engaged in blatant vandalism, so I personally don't see a lot of point in that; however, if you articulated a specific reason why you want one or more of them unlocked, I'd certainly entertain that for you. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 03:03, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Deleting Rfa was even fair with arguments that searching in the search box is redirected anyway.

User:Bluetigerelevenblue
I don't get why you deleted this redirect, it is still a necessary redirect regardless, and if anyone (other than me) creates this account, then it will be impersonation. FatBurn0000 (talk) 02:09, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, User talk:Bluetigerelevenblue is a necessary redirect as well. FatBurn0000 (talk) 02:10, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * FatBurn0000, it's not a registered user account, though. You don't have a monopoly on other users using the Bluetigerelevenblue username. If you want to prevent impersonation, go to Special:CreateAccount, whilst logged in to your main account, and register that user as an alternate account, linked to an e-mail address. From there, you can create a global user page stating it's a doppelganger account of FatBurn0000. :) Dmehus (talk) 02:18, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

First and foremost, whenever you reply, can you please not just insert two asterisks (**)? It does mess up the indentation and reply flow. I advise you reply through the "Reply" button that should appear after my signature. If you can't via that, please copy the colons from the previous reply and add another one to reply. Secondly, to gain local interwiki administrator, you must fulfill the requirements laid out in the Interwiki administrators page and then hold a local election. Once the election has concluded, a Steward will assess consensus and promote you. Thanks. Agent Isai Talk to me! 03:05, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Note that you have requested global interwiki administrator, not local interwiki administrator. I'm not sure if that's what you wanted? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:15, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * yes i know.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 03:16, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * In that case, your request is malformed. I would suggest you correct it. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:18, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ok i accept your suggest. thanks.--Msnhinet8 (talk) 03:20, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8, regarding your request for interwiki administrator, as it's likely you're requesting local interwiki administrator on one or more of your wikis, I've reverted your malformed/blank request for the global version, and instead invited you to host local election pages for this permission on each wiki. If you're the only active editor on one or more wikis, you can just let me know, and request local interwiki administrator without the formalities of a local election. Dmehus (talk) 03:24, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ok, so I can request local interwiki administrator without the formalities of a local election? Msnhinet8 (talk) 03:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Msnhinet8, not exactly. If you're the only recently active editor on your wiki(s), we have granted local interwiki administrator without a local election page. Otherwise, you simply host a local election page on each wiki, wait 5-7 days, then let Stewards know in some fashion, and we'll assess your local election. Agent Isai or I can clarify further if you have questions. Dmehus (talk) 03:43, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I want to become global interwiki administrator. Msnhinet8 (talk) 03:34, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks. Msnhinet8 (talk) 03:36, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I would personally recommend against that, as I'm not confident the community would see your activity on Meta Wiki (this wiki) as being significant enough per the policy. My best advice would be to seek local interwiki administrator on multiple wikis, or focus on reviewing wiki requests, other than your own, and approving, requesting more information, and declining them in accordance with Content Policy. Dmehus (talk) 03:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. Msnhinet8 (talk) 03:45, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. Let Agent Isai or I know if you need assistance with setting up a local election page. :) Dmehus (talk) 03:46, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

I would suggest you not request global Interwiki administrator and instead request local interwiki administrator for your wikis. To request local interwiki administrator on your wikis, you will need to hold an election. Do you want me to help you set up an election? Agent Isai Talk to me! 04:44, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Create this page on Meta
Hello. Can you create the following pages here on Meta: and  from Wikipedia? I can't create because I'm not a bureaucrat or Interface administrator for editing in the MediaWiki namespace. <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 05:48, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * User:YellowFrogger, we have MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js, but I would need to know exactly what change you're requesting on Meta (i.e., specific code to add). We would not necessarily copy, verbatim, the Common.css and/or Common.js pages from English Wikipedia as there is a lot of unnecessary CSS/JS code not specifically needed on Miraheze.

please help me
Dmehus, hello my wiki Nicolopedia Pending change protection has only the level of "allow all members only" and "allow only managers" I have only "allow autoinstalled members" anywhere  Can't see review level anywhere, pending changes on my wiki 3 levels of protection are needed, please do something or else I'll have to close the wiki? I would like to please ask an interwiki manager and system manager to reset this security on my wiki, I am very upset about this topic.😭😭Thanks.WolfMan (talk) 06:11, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * WolfMan Thank you for your question. I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you meaning protection levels, or are you meaning the FlaggedRevs extension? This needs some clarification. Dmehus (talk) 06:14, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Dmehus, this FlaggedRevs extension. In hindi wikipedia have three flagrevrevision level firstly, flagrevreviewers,flagrevadmin, flagrevautoconfirmed but in my wiki flagrevreviewers or flagrevautoconfirmed are missing? Thanks. WolfMan (talk) 06:18, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * WolfMan, this would be a complicated set up. Firstly, you'd need all those protection levels set up on your wiki. FlaggedRevs has its own issues, and Wikipedia has a very custom setup for FlaggedRevs such that all revisions do not require reviewing. Miraheze does not do that with its FlaggedRevs implementation. As such, I do not recommend using FlaggedRevs as it invariably causes issues. I do, however, endorse using either ApprovedRevs or Moderation extension, which are both much, much simpler and better coded extensions. I would recommend disabling FlaggedRevs and using either of those instead. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 06:23, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Dmehus, ok I'll activate this ApprovedRevs on your wiki immediately, but Moderation I don't trust this extension because I've been using it before. Don't see the content of the article even after processing the request?  Although you must know that you cannot always give the security level of allow only the manager on every article, even if you are active on Wikipedia or Meta Wikimedia, then you will know that Wikipedia also believes in pending change protection and I do too , the reason is - if anonymous or other members edit a page with a pending change protection, the new memoir will not appear until that memoir is accepted, if you can help me on the subject, please do, can my  Can't setup customer on wiki?  Thank you. WolfMan (talk) 06:42, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Can you help me with this issue, my wiki needs template editing rights or more template editor protection level to have special protection on mold, can you activate this protection on my wiki with this right? This is my humble request to you.  Thank you. WolfMan (talk) 04:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , it should be requested in Miraheze Phabricator. And, on a separate note please make use of colons while replying to talk page discussions. See w:WP:TALKREPLY for more information. --Magogre (talk) 04:27, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

A cheeseburger for you!

 * Anpang for this interesting status, and for the cheeseburger (though I don't eat beef, or cheese, for that matter). Nonetheless, I appreciate the sentiment! I always suspected my user talk page was likely the busiest user talk page and perhaps even one of the busiest discussion periods period, so this statistical seems to confirm that. Where did you compile it from? As a related factoid, my user talk page has 2,019 revisions, which means that it requires the   user right in order to delete.

Hi Doug, thanks for asking. I still have no opinion to the other proposals because I think that depends on the wiki, how many contributors, how large the community is, what the intention of the wiki is etc. I will reread the proposals and try to express an opinion in the next few days, greetings --Lily talk and I will listen · Lilypond Wiki 13:07, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
