= CheckUser = {{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Use this section to request that a Steward do a CheckUser on a user/group of users who are suspected of sockpuppetry. If you suspect sockpuppetry, please compile evidence for this. Include as many links to similar behavior as possible such as overlaps in editing styles, grammar, edit summaries, or even SocialProfile data. Failure to do this may result in delays or a decline.

 * Thanks for the report. While I will be running checkusers as well, due to the persistent nature of spambots, there is generally no need to create individual checkuser requests on SN as if everyone were to do so it this page would probably be 20 times larger. We have taken some measures to address the spambot issue but unfortunately it is very difficult to do so. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 11:06, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * To Maybe you might consider giving the Moderation extension a try at some point. Two of Miraheze's largest outlets (AVID and All the Tropes) have recently begun to swear by it. --Routhwick (talk) 11:22, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for looking into this. I totally agree with you that local admins flooding this page with CU requests is far from ideal but with the recent uptick, it might just help the global community if it led to enough IP ranges being globally blocked. What alternative do you have in mind?
 * I did try using the Moderation extension when some edits had managed to go through the abuse filters previously but it led to a lot of confusion among community members. The alternative, albeit imperfect, is creating local abuse filters for edits that do not get picked up by the global ones, which is what we have been doing for some time. 16:24, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

= Permissions =

Administrator/Bureaucrat access
{{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Use this section to request Stewards grant you administrator or bureaucrat rights on a wiki without any active bureaucrats (or unwilling bureaucrats if they refuse to certify a successful vote) following a local election. We normally don't grant permissions without a local election for advanced rights like this so you'll need to make a local election unless you accidentally demoted yourself.

If you accidentally removed your own permissions, you can also use this section to request re-addition.

To make a request, press "edit" next to the "Administrator/Bureaucrat access" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed:

Username@ wiki

Robbiescott@rlifewiki

 * I have moved your request here for Stewards to investigate. Please review this to ensure I have the form correct. From here since your wiki is private, only a Steward can look into it. --Raidarr (talk) 15:17, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I've reopened the wiki, but I'm not seeing any reason as to why you would be unable to edit due to permissions problems. If you are getting any specific error message, please post it here so I can help. Cheers -- Void  Whispers 20:35, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

To request a wiki deletion, if your wiki has multiple contributors, you must hold a local discussion beforehand and consensus must be in favor of the wiki closing. If your wiki is a small/personal one where you are the sole contributor, no discussion is needed.

Severe Content Policy Violations On Drawn Fanon Feet Wiki
To start off, this is one of the most disgusting wikis I have ever had to visit. The amount of content policy violations on this wiki is innumerable, the wiki itself should never have been approved. But I'll go ahead and list a few violations here. '''Please be warned, some or all of the links contain sensitive content. You visit these links at your own risk.''' There are countless NSFW and fetish violations on the wiki, and the wiki's content will likely be seen as disturbing. The wiki has violations of Article I, Section VI and Article II of the Content Policy. This would be systemic violations (Article III, Section II).


 * Sierra/Purple Dog: The dog illustrated in the header image is uncomfortably young, users on Discord have shared that sentiment. Additional images on the page suggest youth, specifically this file. This is a direct violation of Article I, Section VI of the Content Policy.
 * Charles/Avocado Cat: The cat illustrated in the header image is again uncomfortably young, and this file again displays it. This is a direct violation of Article I, Section VI of the Content Policy.
 * Mikey/Orange Bird: The bird illustrated in the header image yet again displays a supposedly young animal. Another relevant file is located here. This is a direct violation of Article I, Section VI of the Content Policy.

I highly recommend Stewards take a look at this wiki and take appropriate action as soon as possible. BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 04:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Coroners and Justice Act 2009 comes to mind. Collei (talk) 05:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your report. Initially, I thought no action would be approriate for this wiki as I didn't believe this wiki violated any clause however, upon re-reading the 6th clause of the Content Policy and conferring with a fellow Steward, I have decided to review it further and will be looking into this more. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)


 * As you can see here, a wiki called Drawn Feet Wiki has been deleted, but the wiki mentioned above, Drawn Fanon Feet Wiki, still needs to be deleted. Buzzfan120 (talk) 21:41, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Drawn Feet Wiki was due to copyright violations, not inappropriate content. Collei (talk) 17:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Possible CoC violation?
Good evening Miraheze stewards. I am here to report a page on the Horrible Music Wiki about their page on "Toxic fandoms and hatedoms" and as far as I'm aware, Miraheze doesn't allow any (negative) content related to various groups on the internet (including Fandoms and Hatedoms). If this page is a violation, then I request to delete it but if it's not, then leave it be. Snorunt (talk) 23:18, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * While negative content related to internet groups have caused problems in the past (in fact, several wikis focusing entirely on such content were closed a couple of years ago), that doesn't mean that the concept of such content is prohibited. However, the page linked only has 4 references for many claims, which seems like a Content Policy violation (the several policies regarding user conduct, most notably the Global Conduct Policy, formerly just the Code of Conduct, concern user behavior, not wiki content). Tali64³ (talk) 01:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I think that the wiki itself should be deleted, like all those other reception wikis. Buzzfan120 (talk) 22:47, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Qualitipedia in its original form (the eight reception wikis covering four different subjects) was closed following a community vote (it was revived as New Qualitipedia); just because those wikis closed doesn't mean that the other reception wikis should close. Tali64³ (talk) 00:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Violation of miraheze policy?
Hello stewards! I just noticed that Wikiyri is asking money to create a new article on their site. Is it within the miraheze scope?

Moreover, these sites are using to spread hate. See this page. Translation– "Charles Darwin was a self-proclaimed ape-child and mentally retarded." Yahya (talk) 05:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

New page for RfC Drafts
Could we make a page for the Draft RfCs instead of putting them on the Community Noticeboard? (CN) I know that the CN is a good place to put something you want people to see, and to give feedback on, but it is taking up a lot of space. It is starting to get crowded and hard to find topics that I could possibly help with. It also slows my computer down, so I can't find those topics fast. So could I (or someone else) make a page for all the RfC Drafts and move them there? Thank you, Commetiaa (talk) 18:08, 18 March 2023 (UTC)


 * You can place draft RfCs as a Requests for Comment subpages (for example, if you wanted to make an RfC mandating that everyone likes apples, you can perfectly draft is at Requests for Comment/Order apple supremacy). Once you make a draft, just add it to the drafts section of the Requests for Comment page. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:10, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about the voting and what seems to be RfC drafts already on the CN. The ones I'm talking about are: (these are the topic numbers) 3, 8 (and 8.2), 18, 19 and 20. Commetiaa (talk) 23:10, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * (re-replying) I'm talking about the voting and what seems to be RfC drafts already on the CN. The ones I'm talking about are: (these are the topic numbers) 1, 2, 6 (and 6.2), 16, 17 and 18.
