Help me import
Hello can you please import infobox template and relevant templates? I have hard time doing it. Delete template infobox and relevant templates then export again thx
 * Please see User:Void/Infoboxes. You are simply missing a few pages you need. -- Void  Whispers 02:36, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Speaking of editors on mobile
Speaking of Wikipedia, in which normal editing screens (non-courier) redirect to the courier editor, how do I recreate that one? For example if I edit a template on Wikipedia but takes me to the normal editor on mobile without the courier one it automatically redirects me to the courier editor. How to recreate that?

Vandalism-only account
User:BROBDINGNAGIANS ARE WIMPS is a vandalism-only account due to their wiki request. Could someone please lock that account. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:13, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Spamming IP
202.126.127.114 has triggered global filter 18 and a global block may be necessary in this case. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:01, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 92.255.231.183, 177.53.45.222, 84.241.62.89, 177.38.4.66, 109.104.129.150 and User:AnjaGiorza2 have all triggered spam filters and may need global blocks and a global lock. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 124.244.21.131 has triggered global filter 18 and is a good candidate for a global block. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:03, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 82.139.152.140 may need to be globally blocked as soon as possible as this IP has triggered the spambot filter. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:14, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 178.159.37.81 has been cross-wiki spamming and a global block will certainly be needed in this case. Pkbwcgs (talk) 14:12, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia2
Hi! I'd like Wikipedia2 created, please. If you wanna come to my new wiki and join there and not here. You're still an admin. Louise3 (talk) 13:45, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Probably your request is declined. Don’t even think about asking for it in a wiki request, Wikipedia is a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation. Probably ❌. PERIOD. , said Fair002 in a statement. | Proxy IPs for blocking 01:58, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I have already mentioned this, there is no need to repeat it. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:04, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

By the way, if you wanna create an encyclopaedia, choose another name or just create an account on an existing encyclopedia (e.g Wikipedia)

Abuse Log false positive?
Apparently, it says in the abuse log that User:InternetArchiveBot has triggered the abuse filter. Is it a false positive or is it real? It is a bot. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:21, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Technically yes, but also the filter is doing exactly what it should be doing. That being said, I'll see about adding a few exemptions to the filter. -- Void  Whispers 19:26, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:27, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes. Say hello to Miraheze's newest bot.  It will primarily operate on the other wikis as provided they approve it.— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 21:33, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Nice. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:01, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting, this looks like it might be very useful. How do I run it on sdiywiki? At the IABot Management Interface, when I'm logged in it just lists various Wikipedias in the menu on the right hand side. -- Rob Kam (talk) 21:51, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Requested at T3621 -- Rob Kam (talk) 19:58, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
 * This same bot has hit a vandalism on All the Tropes wiki. See Special:AbuseLog. Is it a false positive? Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:00, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but that's why that filter doesn't actually stop edits. -- Void  Whispers 23:17, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Request for permission to my subaccount, The Pioneer
Hi, due to the following reasons, I'd like to have the same permission I have as 開拓者 for my subaccount, The Pioneer. My activities using the subaccount will be limited to cases above, and I would like to ask for permission if allowed. Thanks.-- 07:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Wikis could ban my account 開拓者 because of my non-English name (which actually happened on the weather wiki and could happen on other wikis in the future). In such wikis, I can work as The Pioneer instead, with my English name.
 * 2) Being a flooder for hours as I did yesterday can restrict my actions severely (especially on Meta). Thus, I'd like to use the account The Pioneer as the flooder account, when necessary and if allowed, so that I can keep my main account 開拓者 available for other activities (such as creating a wiki).
 * P. S. If having the complete permissions I have as User:開拓者 isn't allowed, the minimal set of permission I'd ask for User:The Pioneer will be my permissions as a CVT and as an interwiki admin, which are both directly related to the issues above.-- 07:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, the first point is a bit of a non-issue, if that's local policy, it's best to bring it up with local admins, but if they're active, you probably won't need to do much in the way of CVT work anyway. For the second case, I don't see a problem with allowing users an account with elevated permissions for use when flooding. If that is the case, I don't see the need for more permissions than the local tool set. -- Void  Whispers 19:26, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Remove that Active Filters please!

Custom namespaces needed
Attention Miraheze stewards could someone go to the LocalSettings.php of my wiki and add Sandbox: as a namespace please? Thank you. And also how can I access LocalSettings.php?

Hijacking this thread because I was about to ask the same thing. I opened a task at Phabricator (T3553) to add a bunch of new namespaces but it's been unassigned for a week. Wedhro (talk) 18:55, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

管理者権限除去の依頼
こんにちは. 日本語で失礼します. ローカルウィキの問題になります. まず、先日もお話しておりますが（ここでの履歴をご確認ください）現在アクティブなビューロクラットがおらず、権限操作が出来ない状態です. それで、参加からあまり活動がなく、管理者就任からは権限行使がない状態で活動停止をしていたArchami氏（グローバルアカウント情報）という管理者がおります. 当該管理者は、その後、完全引退宣言をされたので、権限返上の意思について確認したところ、回答のないまま活動が途絶えてました. 詳細は本人のトークページや解任提案をご覧いただきたいのですが、権限除去について誰からも反論・異議申し立てはなく一定期間が過ぎております. この件に関してお願いに参りましたが、ご判断のほうよろしくお願いいたします. --賢者タイム (talk) 01:17, 10 September 2018 (UTC) I withdraw this request. 賢者タイム (talk) 01:09, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Need bureaucrat/admin rights on new wiki
Hi, I requested a new wiki (https://resonance.miraheze.org Special:RequestWikiQueue/5920) and it was created, but I didn't receive bureaucrat/admin rights. Please grant these to me so I can begin setting things up. Thanks. Flake (talk) 05:10, 13 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, i will recreate the wiki as we rolled out some fixes yesterday after the wiki was created. Paladox (talk) 12:27, 13 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Wiki recreated, please can you retry? Paladox (talk) 12:30, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Images imported on nonciclopedia.miraheze.org are attributed to "Maintenance script"
I know, this happens because of how the upload script works, but not only it messes the edit count of users, it also infringes the CC-BY-SA license they're under since nobody can see who created them. Wouldn't it better to first upload the pages in the "File" namespace (which include histories) and then upload the actual file? Or can anything else be done to fix this and return proper histories to files? Wedhro (talk) 06:41, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Interwiki add
Hello admin,

can someone add prefix interwiki to http://annajah.referata.com/wiki/$1 with annajahwiki I would be import some pages. Thanks :) Cmg (talk) 14:11, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * What is your wiki? to create an interwiki to annajah.referata.com. And how do you want the prefix to be? annajahwiki? Ucronistaw (talk) 14:23, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thats mywiki, I will move to miraheze prefix is annajahwiki. Cmg (talk) 14:54, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * How long the prefix add was come? Cmg (talk) 04:22, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Public test wiki
Hi, can any stewards to modify the user group rights "Testgroup" that can also add and remove by an admins? Thank you. SA 13 Bro</b> (talk) 16:56, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅, FYI, this request could have been handled entirely locally. -- Void  Whispers 17:40, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

bureaucrat authority for User:ゆきひかり
Hello. Local wiki does not have an active bureaucrat. Last time, User:ゆきひかり was given administrator authority from Meta. Currently, he/she was also confident in bureaucrat. Therefore please promote User:ゆきひかり. Thank you. 賢者タイム (talk) 02:55, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Interface Pages (Such as Mediawiki, Gadget etc.)
There is a lot collection of Template. That's really great job. but there is no good collection of Interface Pages. (Gadget Also.) if you are busy, you can get me Administrative right, I'll try to improve it. '''Note: I'm with Miraheze for three years, And I like Miraheze's Voluntarily manner. And I inspired to help miraheze like they help me.''' Ahmsaqib (talk★contribs★email) 09:20, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * and other stewards, if okay with this?
 * to maybe get more done on/with the wiki -- Rob Kam (talk) 08:17, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I’m okay with this. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 10:57, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Waiting for your decision.
 * This is not really an issue that requires steward involvement. Your request is best suited to the local noticeboard, as it should be handled by local administrators/bureaucrats. And yes, I know that there is quite a bit of overlap between global staff and templatewiki staff, but myself and John are not really that involved in that wiki. -- Void  Whispers 00:40, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Reception123 or Paladox, Are they involved?

Proposal to change MediaWiki:Blockedtext slightly
I would like to make the block notice stand out more just like on Wikipedia. At the moment, I feel that the blockedtext doesn't stand out enough. I am proposing something like this: <div id="mw-blocked-text" style="margin:2 auto 6px auto;padding: 0.2em; width:100%; box-sizing: border-box; border:6px solid #000; "> Your username or IP address has been blocked from editing.

The block was made by $1. The reason given is $2.


 * Start of block: $8
 * Expiration of block: $6
 * Intended blockee: $7

You can contact $1 or another administrator to discuss the block. You cannot use the "email this user" feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is $3, and the block ID is #$5. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

I would like to know what you think. I am testing this on my own Wiki and looking into the blockedtext. If you think this can still be improved, please let me know. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:55, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It didn't work as all the tabs and the website interface came into the block notice. Can you please suggest something. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:06, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I use a near exact copy of Wikipedia’s blockedtext, except the actual text has been modified for my wiki, and the box about the notice being unclear underneath the main message has been removed. My version is available here and it works just fine for me (although I should also note that I’ve directly imported Wikipedia’s Common.css onto my wiki, which may be required in order for things like this to work properly). Amanda Catherine (talk) 00:59, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I should also note that I don’t think there is a way to globally control MediaWiki interface messages - I think it’s up to local admins to decide what they want for their individual wikis. Amanda Catherine (talk) 01:01, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
