Removal of the flags for Proxybot and Void-bot
Looking at the Meta contributions and log actions for Proxybot and contributions and log actions for Void-bot, it looks like the former has not made an edit or log action on Meta since March 2018 and the latter has not done the same since October 2018 (not counting a February 2019 OAuth consumer token update). I previously confirmed with, the bot operator of the former, that Proxybot is longer blocking open proxies, and I haven't yet spoken to , so am pinging him if he can confirm whether Void-bot is still operating on Meta or whether it just operates on other wikis (i.e., CVT and/or MirahezeBots wikis). So, I'm just wondering if any Meta bureaucrat could remove the  flag from these two bots on Meta, assuming there are no imminent plans for them to resume their functions? Thanks.

 * I believe when we get the proxy stuff going again we'll be using the MirahezeBots account. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  15:50, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Void-bot could probably lose the sysop flag right now, but still actively uses the bot login. I can't recall the source code off the top of my head, but I think it might not function properly if the bot flag is removed from the account. I intend to continue working on it, but recently many things have gotten in the way. -- Void  Whispers 23:23, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I've removed the sysop flag from Void-bot and the bot flag from Proxybot per above. If these are needed again in the future, they can be re-requested naturally. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:54, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Moving a wiki to Miraheze is up for translation?
I recently got around to polish the page Moving a wiki to Miraheze for translation, is this something that we can mark for translation, or is there something more to do? And if so, how do one group it with other pages in the same category in Special:LanguageStats? Is that done by categories or do one have to manually do that in some special page? --Raltseye (talk) 16:10, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that page can be marked, but I would check with first as they were working on that, mainly related to its translation units. Otherwise, I have no issues with it. To your latter question, I believe that's where the "aggregate groups" comes in in that you have to aggregate the page with a similar established translation group (i.e., probably "documentation"). Dmehus (talk) 16:23, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * For explain rapidly the problem, this page was already marked as translation but just removed on the translation wihout removing old units.
 * I have maybe a idea, but I not sure there will work. I will mark the page for translation and see if Fuzzybot do somethings. If it doing nothing, I will try to manual edit the old units (if possible) and create the new one and see if it modify the main page.
 * In other word, don't touch the page and I will say if a success or fail HeartsDo (Talk || Global || Wiki Creator) 16:37, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, never trust on the green box, Fuzzybot is doing his job, this request is ✅ HeartsDo (Talk || Global || Wiki Creator) 16:44, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

 * It's not clear to me how adding this to Meta's common.css file would be helpful. As far as I'm aware, that file only controls Meta, and has no impacts on other wikis. So, essentially, you would need to suggest to every wiki to update their common.css files where they use that infobox. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 12:47, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm only talking about metawiki. ※Infobox -- Gomdoli (talk) 12:51, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * -- Gomdoli (talk) 12:53, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. It's still not clear to me, though, what these CSS classes would solve? What would they change? Also, if you forget to ping someone, you can still go back into your message and insert a ping since no one has replied. You can optionally update the timestamp of your signature. There's no need to start a new paragraph and sign again just for the ping. I mean, it's fine the way you did it, but just letting you know another way that is perfectly acceptable. Dmehus (talk) 12:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * They define infobox's style; We can use class, then load styles. --Gomdoli (talk) 13:20, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * and, you said, I edited that's because pings won't be sent. Wikipedia:ko:Template:Ping -- Gomdoli (talk) 13:22, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There's infobox template. Yes. But what does this CSS class do? What value does it add to the template? Why should everyone loading Meta get these chunks of code? No, "because there's a template, there should be this CSS code" does NOT count. &mdash; revi  14:11, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Archiving
Not sure if this is a great idea, but maybe add the autoarchive to this page since some things are literally 5 years old.

For your consideration. 20:27, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your good-faith suggestion. Community portal is the former community noticeboard, and, incidentally, I didn't realize that page's sysop protection had expired. This has now been corrected. We're currently developing plans to repurpose that noticeboard into a Meta-only community discussion portal, but what do with its archives is challenging. So, in the interim, it is sysop protected. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 00:43, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It does. Thanks! 00:44, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, great, and no problem. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Special:GlobalRenameRequest
I recently made a request to change my name on Miraheze the for why is entailed in the request, anyway, the message on said Special page shows this message:


 * Begäran om globalt namnbyte av användarkonto


 * Begär ett nytt användarnamn som kommer att används på alla projekt.


 * Alla dina tidigare bidrag kommer att knytas till detta nya användarnamn.


 * När du har begärt ett nytt användarnamn, kommer en anmälan att skickas till Wikimedias stewarder för utföra ett namnbyte. Du kommer att meddelas via email när denna process är klar.


 * Om din förfrågan är relaterad till en önskan om anonymitet/integritet, var vänlig notera att en permanent loggpost kommer att skapas med notering av ditt tidigare namn. Du kanske bör överväga att skapa ett nytt separat och oberoende konto och byta namn på ditt nuvarande konto till något slumpmässigt och sedan överge det.


 * Nuvarande användarnamn:
 * Raltseye

Now, correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't it say Miraheze and not MediaWiki? Or is the system sending back a global name change request to MediaWiki? Isn't that handled locally? In which case it should be Miraheze. Or am I missing something here, could it a problem with localisation? --Raltseye (talk) 23:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems to be an error in translation, as all renames are handled by Miraheze Stewards. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 01:05, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I assume it has to do with this unit on translatewiki. Alright, I seen to have fixed it. This thread was unnecessary.. --Raltseye (talk) 02:48, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway.

Does Miraheze need translate rules?
Lots of English words are polysememes.And in other languages,they also have lots of different expression.

For example,"Miraheze" in Chinese can be "Miraheze","米拉和泽"(transliteration),"菏泽的米拉铜合金"(literally) and so on.

I think Miraheze needs translate rules what has the translation of special words on gauge to make translations standard.
