Hey, Void.
Why did you delete the Raid On Liberapedia section? We told users not to hack, and that it is against US law to. Why Is it deleted?

Anti Sinistram AZ (talk)
 * As I recall, the exact wording on the page was "Do not hack unless using a VPN" (emphasis mine). While yes, the next sentence did mention that it is illegal to hack, you were not discouraging them, rather you were telling them how to do it safely. Furthermore, even without mentioning illegal behavior, staff have set precedent that it is against global policy to setup raids against other wikis/platforms, whether or not they are on Miraheze. -- Void  Whispers 22:13, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

@Void yes. I was warning users that the activity of hacking was not safe. That is why I said to use a vpn to do so. I was not organizing the raid on the article, but I was rather simply telling viewers about it. It is not. Ring organized here and is being organized on our discord!

About an admin on Rotten Websites Wiki
There's an admin on https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/wiki/Rotten_Websites_Wiki named Vicious187. He has recently blocked a user named Seanbuscus2000 from the wiki, Awesome Games Wiki, and Crappy Games Wiki over the fact that he's part of the Reception Flame Wars Wiki. He's also done the same to users such as Mar9122, Portrock1566, and angrybirdsfanonmiraheze. What happened was that a user named Se made a forum post (which is now deleted) about Vicious over him blocking him from Rotten Websites Wiki. Because of this, Vicious is now blocking users who are part of that wiki, even if they didn't do anything wrong. He is not doing good. He's abusing his power. I will get more evidence if you want. What do you plan on doing with him? Eijitheawesome (talk) 04:08, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

UPDATE: Vicious187 has just slandered Atrocious YouTubers Wiki, Reception Flame Wars Wiki, and Flawless FANDOM Users Wiki. He's calling us troll sites and is now going to mercilessly block whoever is a member of those wikis, even if they did nothing wrong! Do something! https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki/Blog:For_anybody_thats_an_admin_on_the_mainline_reception_wikis. Eijitheawesome (talk) 04:23, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Void, you need to ban me permanently because I was a horrible influence to the Miraheze website. Please, you have to; I've committed the sins of Pride, Envy, and Wrath. Please ban me permanently. I was causing chaos on several wikis; especially the ones mentioned above. --ChroniclesXII (talk) 22:52, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I wonder if locking per self request is allowed based on our policies. Locking is a measure against abusive accounts. Besides, if users feel like leaving Miraheze, they can simply stop logging into their account(s) and leave, and I don't find the need for locking an account even if requested by the users themselves (unless we find their violation of our policies by ourselves).-- 07:59, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

An offensive user
(resolved)

Did this user get hacked or something?
A user by the name of SoboKim recently made a bunch of angry posts on the Terrible TV Shows Wiki, where he/she insulted this website and the internet as a whole in all-caps, which resulted in the user getting blocked. Since these posts were very out-of-character, me and another user believe he/she got hacked. --Seewater514 (talk) 01:48, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Question about mass deleting
Is there any way I can delete all pages included in a certain category at once? There's a category on Awesome Games Wiki that contains nothing but over 2,000 broken files, and I really don't want to spend hours going through the category deleting the files one at a time. --Seewater514 (talk) 04:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

PKMNLivesNew
There’s a user called PKMNLivesNew. He told the FANDOM staff about the Reception Wikis, leading to them shutting them all down. He claims they “break the rules”, but I consider it BS. He’s an SJW, in a shell, as his anti-GamerGate views are well-known. He even admits to being one in | this post on Crappy Games Wiki, which I found after looking through his contributions there.

I hope you can globally block him across the entire Miraheze network. If he notifies you about the wikis and tries to get you to shut them down, I kindly ask you, please do not listen to him at all.

I need some help with mobile Infobox styling
Hey there, I’m creating a wiki via Miraheze and I wish to know something. How can I style my infoboxes to look exactly like Wikipedia’s ones for mobile users? I asked this question on the Stewards' noticeboard and I was directed to ask you. Could you please give me some advice on this? Thanks for your time. RuffianLewis (talk) 03:47, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I know a bit of infobox coding myself. Back in 2015, I learned it from Wikipedia. If you just go on Wikipedia's search and type in: Template:Infobox or Template:Infobox person, it gives you the full coding. Then on your wiki; create Template:Infobox and copy-paste the code and then it should work. I hope it helps! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Designing_infoboxes -- 8ight  (Express yourself, be heard!) 06:15, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Request to appoint new bureaucrats
Hey there, I have put this on steward's noticeboard so if its already on process you can ignore this. But I saw you have a user page in our wiki and maybe you're in-charge or something.

Our one and only bureaucrat in SideM Wiki is no longer active / unreachable for discussing things related to the wiki, even in discord. I want to request Mackenzietan and clay to be appointed as bureaucrats. Reason for choosing them is both of them are the admins that take care of the wiki during the inactive times. Can you help with it? Or is there anything we can do? Drgng (talk) 09:59, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry for being so slow about this. Has there been any sort of election or consensus created on SideM Wiki regarding the promotion of those two users? Without some sort of community consensus, we (stewards) cannot promote users over an active community. That is provided that there does not exist some other policy or documented method of appointing user rights on the wiki, which we would then follow instead. -- Void  Whispers 13:15, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

About a page you deleted on CGW.
A while back you deleted a page on Crappy Games Wiki about YandereDev due to it looking like baseless accusations.

My Message
Bad Scratch Wiki not only breaks the Content Policy, but is also the reason why the new update was established. So I fail to see why it should have a chance to stay. The founder is rarely active, and lacks the kindness of someone that should manage. Not only does BSW have bad management and insults, but it is a safeguard for vandalism. The Scratch Team wants the archives deleted, they want Bad Scratch Wiki deleted, and they want proof that we are respectful. I want to show the Scratch Team that we are really trying and that we will succeed in pleasing them. Please take what I said into consideration. I just want my friends to be happy again. WickyHoney (talk) 21:02, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I am aware of that RfC, but since this was a pre-existing wiki which posts negative information about certain members, perhaps a compromise that would make everyone happy would be to make Bad Scratch Wiki a private wiki readable and editable only by a small group of people that want to post in that way? It wouldn't be publicly readable or indexed by any search engine. Just tossing this idea out there as it may placate everyone. Dmehus (talk) 17:21, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * An honorable proposal, but that will not do given that the background of the founder is undesirable. Wpetoi has committed crimes against my friends and I will not stand to let him have his way. He acts like a big business tycoon, but he's just a hot-air balloon. The wiki was created despite an agreement among the real members of Crummy Scratchers Wiki to never recreate CSW or a wiki similar to it, and after Wpetoi added that wiki my appeals have been met with stupidly short replies about how part of the agreement was to delete every archive and not bring back the CSW and yet Wpetoi is also ignoring the facts we give him and doesn't acknowledge that he is being inconsiderate and prone to lying. He lies about Bad Scratch Wiki being satire, and it obviously is not. He keeps calling our requests to close the wiki whining which shows that he is daft as well as only being able to handle his own bullshit. So, no, I will cut myself before I let Wpetoi have his way, and if my friends do not get unblocked soon then I will never understand what happiness is. Also, I don't think the Scratch Team will understand what I would be trying to convey if I said that vile wiki was "private". They want it deleted, not accessible by a small group. Sorry, but I don't like the idea. I am tired of people trying to hurt me and my friends, and everyone wants to these days, so I will not pander to inconsiderate jerks that want to take our dreams and use them to their delight. Thanks for the voicing the possibility, but it can't be done. WickyHoney (talk) 17:59, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree these wikis aren't very helpful and seem to exist only to mock beginner coders (that seems to be what the Scratch website is about) and their beginner coding errors, from the sounds of it. I just don't like the idea of globally locking his accounts, though could support closing of this wiki and providing an XML dump to Wpetoi if he desires to self-host himself (and take sole responsibility for any content he hosts)...I just think, if he wants to create and manage constructive wikis, he should be permitted to do that, but yes, I could support either closure of this wiki or making it private and inaccessible.

Promotion
Greetings Void, I should be the one promoted for this since I am fairly active in editing this wiki. I am doing best as I can to add as much as possible. The other one hasn’t been as active.
 * Which wiki is this? Is the wiki you and another user were requesting to adopt? I suspect, or another steward, will make the decision based on who is the most active in the wiki or two that he gives you to show activity. Alternatively, if both of you are reasonably equally active, he may let both of you adopt the wiki jointly, but this is just a guess. Nonetheless, please be sure you provide helpful context in your messages and also to sign your posts with ~ . I've added unsigned for you again this time. Dmehus (talk) 16:14, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Context is Special:Diff/112664, which has been handled. -- Void  Whispers 23:34, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Aggressive spam and vandaling
Hello,

I am a reader of this beautiful wiki here: https://filehostlist.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

But recently, I've realised there is one guy who aggressively promotes his website on every page and spamming constantly for almost a month now. He is removing other useful content too. And he has two seperate accounts that I know of.

Accounts of this vandal: https://filehostlist.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hakan-tr https://filehostlist.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Debrid34

When I saw this, at first I decided to sign up and try to rollback his actions but I can't help it only by myself. He is not giving up.

Also I'm just a regular user without any authorization. I guess mods/admins haven't been visiting their wiki for a while now. Therefore there is no blocking or ban mechanism working right now. I believe it would be perfect to just permaban him an his IP/accounts from the wiki.

So we need your help badly and immediately.

I hope you'll take care of the situation.

Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fhw (talk • contribs) 23:50, 7 July 2020‎ (UTC)
 * I've blocked, and restored an entry to the spamblacklist that previously prevented that site from being added anywhere. Let me know if similar behavior continues. I've also left a note with the local admin, just in case they're still around. -- Void  Whispers 00:01, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much with that incredibly quick response and action! I'm really grateful. And also can you add this specific website that owned by this very spammer here: https://worldleech.site/ to the spamblacklist also please? It'll definitely prevent any future spam attempts by the same person. Again I appreciate all of it, you're great. Best regards... - Fhw
 * I'm blind, I though the site they were spamming was multileech, but since it doesn't seem to be, I've updated the blacklist accordingly. -- Void  Whispers 00:40, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It seems like, that website also had been spammed too in the past. I think adding both sites to that list wouldn't do harm by any means. Thanks for all the support. Cheers. - Fhw
 * Please remember to sign your posts with four tildes so that both your username and timestamp are added to your talk and user talk page comments. I've added one for you, and another user has added another one for you, it looks like. Dmehus (talk) 17:06, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

@Fhw You're just a jealous and bad guy who can't handle my site
 * I've noticed you have been modifying other users' comments in this thread, and forgetting to sign your own comments, too. You should refrain from the former, though I would a retitling of this section to == Spam and Vandaling == per it being more neutrally and objectively titled, as I do agree that there's no need for that characterization as "aggressive." In any event, in future, you should ask for the section to be retitled per your reason(s), and I'm sure  would be amenable to all reasonable requests. In terms of the latter, while it's less critical on non-automatically archived talk pages, signing posts helps us to help protect you against impersonation by quickly and easily locating whether, in fact, you posted something or something masquerading as you posted as if they were you. So, please try and remember to sign your posts on all talk pages. Dmehus (talk) 16:53, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

@Dmehus I don't know what you said to sign. Would you teach me how to do it?
 * Well, I already added unsigned signatures for you using the unsigned template on this wiki, so nothing to do, but basically, when commenting on a talk or user talk page, you just end all posts with four tildes and it'll add the signature coding specified in your preferences, or global preferences if you've chosen to apply your preferences to all Miraheze-hosted wikis. Signatures typically go at the end of every comment. Does that help? Dmehus (talk) 19:43, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, I see you tried to ping me with the @ message. To send a notification to someone when you're replying, you can either use ping (like this, ) on wikis that have the ping template imported, or you can use a wikilink linking to their username, like this (Hakan-tr). That will send you a notification as well. You don't have to pipe the wikilink, but doing so will remove the User: namespace prefix. Dmehus (talk) 19:49, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

@Dmehus thanks i will try  ;Hakan-tr (talk) 19:49, 9 July 2020 (UTC);   this way?
 * Yes, but move ";  this way?" before your signature. Also, the ping didn't work, but doesn't look you tried that. Dmehus (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hakan-tr
hi why are you deleting my edits, and you are blocking me? Hakan-tr (talk) 19:58, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Please see the above section. If you disagree with that, please clarify why. -- Void  Whispers 17:56, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

I didn't do this for spam, I did it for correction purposes, also I don't accept it @ by Fhw He is removing other useful content too - I removed the sites that did not work, did useful work, for correct information

For example look and check http://onleech.me/   http://cboxpremiumleech.net/   https://fileleech.net/    http://leech7s.com  http://leechpro.com  these are not working I deleted and corrected this is it a crime?

@by Fhw this friend who complained about me, someone who doesn't want my site, unfortunately, please remove my blog i'm here for informational purposes only and I want it to be useful on my own site. https://worldleech.site/ works and provides live service :) Hakan-tr (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
