How do I create an infobox?
I thank you from approving my wiki request. However, I have such a difficult time creating any type of infobox here. It seems like a very difficult process after reviewing many of the infobox templates on Wikipedia and other wikis on here. Can you please help me with this if you can. Also, how do I enable visual editing on my wiki? Thanks DarRam (talk) 15:38, 29 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not too much of a professional when it comes to making infoboxes. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , hello and welcome to Miraheze! To enable the VisualEditor on your wiki, you'll have to go to Special:ManageWiki/namespaces in your wiki and enable the VisualEditor in the namespaces in which you want. --Mazzaz (talk) 15:52, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I did and I am really confused and don't know what to do. I summitted a random namespace and don't see anything enabling Visual Editing or I may not know what it is or maybe both. DarRam (talk) 16:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , have a look at Special:ManageWiki/extensions. You'll find VisualEditor extension there and enable that. --Mazzaz (talk) 16:18, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I did and it worked. First I enabled visual editing in the extension settings, then I enabled visual editing in all of the wiki's namespaces. Now the big question is, How do I create a working infobox on this platform? DarRam (talk) 18:20, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Unblocks and question
I got blocked on Rotten Websites Wiki, Crappy Games Wiki, and Awesome Games Wiki for no reason so I need to be unblocked there. The other wikis I am still blocked on are mostly old wikis that I do not intend to ever contribute to anyway.

Also why are the discord servers wikis (Excellent Discord Servers Wiki and Horrendous Discord Servers Wiki) private? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:19, 30 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I will unblock you in due course, not to worry. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:47, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. But why are the Discord Servers wikis privated? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:53, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, how are you today? :)

Requests_for_adoption

I filed this https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_adoption&diff=203435&oldid=203432&diffmode=source

my edit was reverted, and now the wiki page no longer exists, can you explain why? Thank you in advance. Anno1404 (talk) 08:51, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Considering you fixed the request, I assume he didn't catch the second edit and the reversion was an accident based on his edit summary. However, the domain is no longer available, and so it's not something that can really be adopted anyways. Adoptions are for closed but still visible wikis, not removed outright wikis; the latter you can make a post on the Stewards' noticeboard to see if someone can find it if it was very recently deleted (depends on the time it was gone, it would only last for a short time). If it was a public wiki you may be in luck to find the wiki database in backup on archive.org. If it was private then I'm afraid it is likely gone for good. This all said, a steward is planning on reviewing the adoptions page very soon and it would be okay to recreate the request on there so he can do a quick check and offer a final answer within a few days. So feel free to resubmit the request based on your conclusion from this advice. --Raidarr (talk) 09:13, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I have restored what I have reverted, and Anno, this was mainly because an abuse filter was found from you, and it prompted me to revert immediately. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:30, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * you guys are awesome thank you so much! I should start a barnstar on this website like on wikipedia!

My future
So I noticed that things have changed since the last time I visited the wikis. Mario and Duchess are gone, and you guys moved TTG vs. TT to the Okay Movies Wiki. So it seems like the Lion King sequels can be added there as well. And I'm sorry for threatening to add Cuties to GMW.

So can you guys give me another chance to be on QP? FreezingTNT (talk) 15:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, yes. I believe you deserve a second chance to be on Qualitipedia. But, I'll process the unblocks in the morning. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Upsetting Toys Wiki
Could you please make this wiki private? The wiki was closed for multiple fair reasons and I'm pretty confident that when the character wikis closed, someone said that the reason why the character wikis were privated as well was because they didn't want someone to create a ripoff of the wiki on another wiki-hosting site, and I think that's a fair reason to private the wiki. FatBurn0000 (talk) 05:59, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'll do that. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:22, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I have ✅ your request. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:29, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This is not valid rationale. If someone wants to make the wiki on another platform, that's their business and unlikely anyway, either way not your problem. If they want to duplicate it on Miraheze, they'll be hit with Miraheze policy. The wikis were closed as they are to allow normal adoption procedure, the intention was not to make them inaccessible or unadoptable. The resulting situation is no clear procedure for manual adoption that should have been executed when the wikis were closed in the first place - in fact I am quite sure I suggested that in confidence right along with original closure - and closure that further sends the wrong message as it did to when this issue was raised on the Stewards' Noticeboard. Basically, this request and its acceptance unnecessarily screws up a perfectly simple process. --Raidarr (talk) 13:19, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

You have a point, but the thing is, it's somewhat difficult to make good pages out of toys, as it's hard to list more than two or three reasons, which is not that good for a page. FatBurn0000 (talk) 19:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I would argue this is an endemic problem with reception wikis in general, including a majority of the ones you've suggested over time. It's less being able to scrounge up reasons as much as getting sourceable and valid reasons. Such is not a reason against their existence in accordance with Content Policy as long as they're not violating in other ways, although it's fair rationale to be critical about their function. But if there are people willing to try, then they're free to do so. --Raidarr (talk) 20:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
