I would like to recover the wiki "https://fablac.miraheze.org/wiki/Accueil"
Good morning,

I am contacting you because I will wish to recover the wiki of our school. It's called "fablac". We are very disappointed not to find him again.

Thanks in advance. Have a beautiful day, Sophie
 * Hello and welcome! I am not a Steward, but I think your request would carry more weight if you were a registered user.  Please pick a username!   22:23 20-Mar-2019

How do i add a Infobox? i Know Barely anything about Coding on Wikis sadly.
Hi, i'm New here as i Moved from Wikia's Mass-Ad Festival to here which seems cleaner. Only Issue i have right now is Adding Infoboxes to my Wiki.
 * Hello and welcome! Please read FAQ.  (Better yet, read the entire page!)  Take care when importing code, because sometimes a template relies on other templates and you need to import them all.  You're right that it's "cleaner" to edit here than at Wikia, where they are always breaking stuff.  Templates are somewhat like subroutines in a programming language, and unfortunately, it will require learning about them, because even if you get them to work, you'll find you want to tweak them.   13:48 23-Mar-2019

How do I get to the Special:ManageWiki to uncheck the "closed" box to reopen it
My wiki was closed for dormancy - and I would like to re-open it, but I don't know how to get to the Special:ManageWiki page to uncheck the "closed" box. DebyJolley
 * Surfing to the page  (making an appropriate substitution for  ) should get you there, though I do not know if other problems will prevent you from completing the operation.   03:45 2-May-2019

Thank you, Spike!!

Wiki deletion request
At Special:Diff/76951 a request to delete the wiki zhwikisongs.miraheze.org was made. Amanda Catherine (talk) 13:41, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your notification, and now it's ✅.-- 13:56, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Merge users on nonciclopedia.org (19)
Hello, Special:CentralAuth/KITT01_temp needs to inherit Special:CentralAuth/KITT01's edits etc. Thanks.--Wedhro (talk) 19:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Done. John (talk) 20:17, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Import from Wikia
For Incubator Plus to function we have to import the entirety of the Wikia version (including full page history). The size of the xml dump, however, seems to be something the servers tend to dislike. In other words, Miraheze keeps crashing. Is there any way the stewards can be of help? :) --Ooswesthoesbes (talk) 14:07, 4 July 2019 (UTC) P.S.: The move was anticipated here.
 * Follow the instructions at Imports. The dump needs to be imported by a sysadmin. -- Void  Whispers 16:13, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you! That's the page I was looking for :) --Ooswesthoesbes (talk) 19:22, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Help regarding my naxvbox template
On my wiki (hasanistan.miraheze.org), I wish to make my navboxes appear like in Wikipedia. I have got most of this appearance, but there is no separation between the group elements on the navbox. For context, these are my navboxes: And this is how Wikipedia navboxes look like. I would be grateful for any advice on how to visually separate the group elements of the navbox. Thank you.

Delete thatduderighthereuniverse.miraheze.org/wiki/Like_a_boss_999
It has false information, infact its just a carbon copy of the same page on HRWW.43.224.156.144 12:39, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

WP:CLEAN
Since I had my wikicreator rights removed, I want to start over at a new account. Please also make the usernames Ofreporter, LegoMaster and Fungster (this account) oversighted completely from the Special:CentralAuth.

The report for the vandalism that led to my removal of WC rights is here. The vandalism os at the same IP address as mine, but at first I thought it was my sister, but it is actually somebody else using the same IP address as mine. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, and all the best, --Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 23:48, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * My new username will be Znotch190711. Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 02:41, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi. Znotch190711 (talk) 02:49, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Uh, this is not Wikipedia, and if you wish to start all over with a new account, all you need to do is not to tell anyone that your account is identical to the older account(s), abandon the old ones, and just use the new one.-- 10:17, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

How to nominate somebody as a sysadmin?
On Tech:Timelines, it says that some sysadmins are temporary and some are permanent. How do you nominate somebody as a sysadmin? 開拓者 is the candidate. -- Cheers, Znotch190711 (Contribs - My wiki - CA) 12:13, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * All sysadmins are permanent - there is no such thing as a temporary appointment to date. Sysadmins candidates are either asked to apply by an existing member of Operations or otherwise make their intention known via the process described on Tech:Access policy. No one else is able to nominate someone else for the role, any such nominations will be rejected summarily by a member of Operations on a basis of process. Answered in capacity as an Operations member, not a steward. John (talk) 12:54, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment, but I'm not a specialist in dealing with phab related issues, and thus would like to keep myself as it is - at least, until I become sure that I know enough about system-related stuffs. Besides, I don't even have a GitHub account.-- 18:05, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Bug on flow extension on Atrocious Deviants Wiki
Whenever I tried to post a reply with a link on it, "[(random numbers)] Caught exception of type Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError" happened. --Theresnoname (talk) 01:34, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Is this still happening or was it just a temporary error? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 08:56, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Exemption Request
Hello, can you please exempt our three wikis from the dormancy policy?

https://ginga.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page https://speckledfire.miraheze.org/wiki/Speckled_Fire_Wiki:About https://thelionking.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Exemption Reason: Wikis made to be read. These wikis are our personal projects.
 * ✅, your wikis are now exempted from the Dormancy Policy. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 08:56, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Gustave London CheckUser and Oversight in Centopédia(Farmwiki)
As the title says, I need it on my wiki.Gustave London (talk) 14:49, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * (non-steward comment) What do you need them for? Under most circumstances, CheckUser and Oversight aren't granted as permanent local rights due to the Privacy Policy, and rather a steward will handle the situation on request (by temporarily assigning the rights to themselves and then removing them when done). Amanda Catherine (talk) 14:52, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Quando não tiver stewards disponíveis.Gustave London (talk) 14:56, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Just a note that the claim that it is due to the Privacy Policy is incorrect. As Amanda said, the current way that it is done is that Stewards deal with individual cases. The only way to get CheckUser or Oversight rights on any wiki is to request here, but the same requirements as for Stewards apply. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 14:58, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll need this for only 1 weekGustave London (talk) 15:04, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, that does not change the policy. There are active Stewards who are able to help you with such requests. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:06, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ❌ CentralAuth tells me that you are new, which is an enough reason to close this request. Generally speaking, we don't have any previous cases allowing local admins/crats to have CU/OS, and I think Stewards are fairly active enough to deal with cases requiring such perms.-- 15:08, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

About AngryBirdsFan
He said KYS again, just because i vandalised a wiki. Stewards, feel free to glob. block him. He also forced others to treat him like a king and said that he can say KYS whenever he wants to. See here 4 proof: .MCpillager (talk) 11:49, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, your statement is actually false. I clearly promised and gave him another chance that he won't say KYS or make racist statements on my watch. I don't about you, but are you causing drama, again, like Horrid Reception Wikis Wiki. I hope Like a boss999 doesn't appear to make lies about me, again, here.
