I need your help.

 * Steward attention does not seem to be required. Note that there's no monopoly on Reception wikis, and you're always free to request a fork wiki, sharing the same topic, provided it is (a) not a substantial copy/paste of an existing wiki and that it has (b) a clear purpose, scope, and a topic. Dmehus (talk) 23:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

The Reception Wikis' mods are BY GOD, CORRUPT. I keep telling them over and over again that positive/negative reception doesn't make a movie automatically good/bad, and I even tried to prove my point by threatening to add Cuties - FUCKING Cuties - to GMW as it was praised by critics. A gun to the head, for the right reasons. To put an end to the spread of ignorance. And guess what? Every time I try to explain to them, THEY WON'T FUCKING LISTEN. They unfairly permanently banned me from the wikis, and demonized me. When all I was trying to do was make sure people understand that the Lion King sequels are objectively pieces of shit.

Can you help me, Miraheze mods? Please? I've been telling them over and over again that they're corrupt, and they won't listen.

(If you read any profanity in the link... I was PISSED. I was fed up. I had to convey my anger. I had to lash out since they wouldn't listen.) FreezingTNT (talk) 19:06, 24 July 2021 (UTC)


 * It seems to me like your response was not very mature. There was no 'better man' in the discourse and attempting that controversial move as a 'gun to the head' should have obviously not worked well. But more concerning is how much pulling teeth it seems to take to make any progress or civil exchange, and the absolute poor state of leadership. To that end and in response to one of the QP admin's requests for feedback, I produced a blog which I think effectively summarizes the core issues with how the wikis are run. They are severe to the extent an eye from above may be needed. Consensus is incredibly difficult to achieve or even begin seeking and requires a bit of flame-stirring to even get an issue to attention. --Raidarr (talk) 19:55, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

So... what is your plan for the Lion King sequels' articles and my original pointers? And what do you think of, well... "The reception doesn't dictate whether the movie or whatever is actually good/bad on its own"? [Sigh of tiredness after months of drama and stress.] All I ever wanted... was for people to understand that the films weren't really perfect. That they should consider my viewpoints and criticisms in mind and acknowledge them, not ignore them, not discard them, and certainly not throw them away like garbage.

FreezingTNT (talk) 20:09, 24 July 2021 (UTC)


 * This seems like something a hearty 'alternative opinion' (ie, the bad qualities) section could take in mind, even if the policy defers to a general reception (the reasonable apparent sum of audience opinions). But how this works and how the exceptions work is something that should be reasonably discussed locally. That's the angle that would merit Steward action. The actual judgement and resolution, not really their business. The tools of civil discussion just need to be there. --Raidarr (talk) 20:16, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There's a few things I would like to note, in response. The "[positive/negative term] [genre or medium or entertainment] Wiki" implies it's less about the reception and more about whether it, by itself, is actually good or bad. Detractors/haters would show up on our wikis and explain why [insert good/bad quality] is wrong or misinterprets the movie/whatever... and the mods wouldn't remove that from the WIR/WIS/GQ/BQ section since, as you said, it's apparently about the general audience opinion/consensus, regardless of whether the good/bad quality is either valid or misinterprets the movie (like, for example, if Last Jedi defenders show up on the Awful Movies Wiki and explain why the article for The Last Jedi is wrong or misinterprets the movie and the mods in this specific scenario would refuse to take it down because "it's what the public believes"). As I mentioned, I'm just trying to cleanse away some ignorance — at one point, because of their policy, I considered that, if I get a YouTube channel and it becomes very popular and then I make reviews of the respective Lion King sequels and if they become popular enough or whatever, it would become the general reception and my intended goal would be achieved.
 * The film/game/show/episode/whatever, by itself, is usually the source for reviews, so positives or negatives usually based on what actually happens in the work itself can't be reception-based. My problems are indeed opinions, but they are well-reasoned and so is other criticisms or praises of media — they're all backed up by what actually happens in the movie/whatever itself. Art is subjective — whether a movie/whatever is good or bad is up to your own personal feelings, but stuff such as plot holes and contrivances... ugh, just read this Reddit post to see what I'm trying to say here. (A character being unlikable or annoying isn't necessarily objective fact, but there's always reasons that make it more likely people will find it annoying or unlikable — like the Holocaust, it objectively happened but the fact Hitler's actions took the lives of innocent people and traumatized those who personally knew those Jews made it more likely people would hate the Holocaust, if you know what I mean.)

MarioMario456 power abuse case

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * We do not need to hear this daily. Stewards need time to look into things. If you have more to raise, drama on meta isn't needed. Please take this to a private venue now. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  18:06, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

There is a problem with MarioMario456 on Qualitipedia. He has continuously blocked me, and rages at me whenever I do something. He also constantly acts like he owns Qualitipedia and refuses to assume good faith. Whereas DuchessTheSponge has improved and has stopped attacking me for the most part, the trouble continues with MarioMario456. Here is what he has done: Honestly, I can tolerate Duchess. While he has accused me of things, at least he is a very active admin and is easier to contact. Also, Duchess has replied on several of these threads saying that he would unblock me and seems more forgiving. Even though Duchess blocked me cross-wiki, he said "Sorry Blubabluba9990 but this is for the best", implying that he is somewhat sympathetic. MarioMario456, on the other hand, definitely deserves a cross-wiki desysopping. Mario hasn't even been here that long, he has only been on Miraheze since September of last year and I am not sure when he became an admin. Duchess, on the other hand, has been here since March or April. I genuinely want to help Qualitipedia. And I have made several helpful edits to many of the Qualitipedia wikis. But I cannot contribute when I am in fear of being blocked. So I request a global desysopping of MarioMario456, or at least a warning. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Recently he blocked me for talking about a user on FANDOM who had harassed me. He warned me for falsely accusing a user and demanded I find proof while I did not want to bring up my old FANDOM drama. I even deleted the comment, but he blocked me anyway, even when I asked him not to block me. Proof: mh:crappygames:User talk:MarioMario456. He has never even been to Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, so how would he know. At least Duchess has actually been to Encyclopedia SpongeBobia and contributed there.
 * 2) He has raged at me multiple times for trying to explain myself and gotten mad even when I just wanted to peacefully talk. Such can be found in several discussions here on Meta, including on his talk page: User talk:MarioMario456
 * 3) When I asked him to do some things, he raged at me and told me to stop bothering him. Such proof can also be found on my talk page on Crappy Games Wiki.
 * 4) He created an attack blog against me which is full of false information. He also restored the blog without permission from other admins, including DuchessTheSponge, who co-created the blog. Which brings me to my next point.
 * 5) He constantly acts like he is in charge of Qualitipedia. He always talks about trying to restore Qualitipedia's reputation, but he really hasn't helped out much. Also, Duchess is the one calling most of the shots.
 * 6) He got butthurt when people tried to say that if something has positive reception that does not mean it is good and vice versa. It can be found in one of his blogs on Crappy Games Wiki, I don't remember the name.
 * 7) He seems physically incapable of assuming good faith. He has blocked me several times for minor things which I have discussed in the past. He doesn't even consult the other admins.
 * 8) The last time MarioMario456 blocked me, DarkMatterMan unblocked me, and in the unblock summary he commented "this is pretty petty".
 * 9) While Duchess sometimes changes his mind, and has unblocked me and is somewhat forgiving, MarioMario456 seems incapable of forgiveness. He is constantly like "This is your last chance".
 * 10) He also says I am only on the wikis to cause drama when that is not true at all. I have made several useful edits on many of the Qualitipedia wikis, mostly the shows wikis, movies wikis, and characters wikis. Just check my contributions on those wikis.
 * 11) He has also deleted my userpages on many Qualitipedia wikis for no reason at all.

 * Yeah. Honestly I can tolerate the other admins. MarioMario456 hasn't even been on Qualitipedia that long yet he constantly acts like he owns the place. I also forgot to mention that MarioMario456 says that I am playing the victim card when I am not. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:01, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Possible checkuser request for possible sockpuppets:

 * Jonesgotswag
 * Foodisgood

I'm concerned that these 2 might be the same person, as Jones321 was locked as a vandalism-only account. I do know that they have a habit of blanking multiple pages on multiple wikis, and another thing that I've noticed is that both Foodisgood and Jonesgotswag were created a couple of minutes from each other before Jones321 was created. This makes me want to ask this question: If they were being constructive at first, then why resort to vandalism later on? I'm not sure if this needs an investigation, but please do look into them if necessary. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:40, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

I want back in SephSpace
A month ago, I was banned from SephSpace because one of Inkster's sock accounts manipulated one of the admins into thinking I did some bad things that cost me my access to the wiki. However, I gave a full explanation on what I really did on the Reception Wikis, thus debunking Inkster's lies about me. Plus, that sock account of Inkster is banned now, so do you think you can convince the admins of SephSpace to let me back at that wiki? SuperStreetKombat (talk) 19:00, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, you should contact a local bureaucrats to unblock your account, but this may need steward intervention. —Bu kk it 19:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * As Bukkit pointed out, the local bureaucrats handle that, not the Stewards. Stewards cannot intercede for you with the bureaucrats on that wiki. With that being said, you'll have to build up a case on your own devices to convince the bureaucrats that those were lies spread about you, Stewards can't help with that. So sorry for the inconvenience. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:14, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I was also falsely banned too, mainly due to EijiZeBoi's bullshit. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:51, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Your best bet is to get in contact with the local administrators through a Meta talk page, I think. Unless you have their Discord/alternative contacts you know are easier. If you can't find them on any, perhaps a Steward (or, and preferably, an existing member) can drop a subtle pointer to see your case on Meta. --Raidarr (talk) 21:27, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Recent spambots detected on our Qualitipedia wikis:


Please check our recent abuse logs on our wikis. Look for the ones that have the spambot whipper abuse log as it's really been sufficient ever since I activated it. Feel free to also nuke more from here as well. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:59, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Excuse me if I am confused but I have a question. Why is it necessary for these accounts to be locked? Unless I am wrong (I only looked at 3 of them) they have not been able to edit once as they have been prohibited by the Abuse Filter so why do they need to be locked? --DeeM28 (talk) 08:55, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Simple: Because they have been triggering the abuse logs more than 3 times, and there's a reason why they need to be locked, and that reason is exactly why. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:48, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Even if the abuse filter catches them, they are outed as accounts explicitly made for spam. They would be blocked to a) clean up logs and perhaps reduce server access by their logged-in spams, and b) ensure they cannot 'wisen up' and use a method that counters the filter. Better eliminated without quarter than allowed to be smart. --Raidarr (talk) 13:21, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In theory your arguments make sense, spambots need to be locked so they can not continue to spam. In practice however I do not think this argument works based on the evidence. I have looked at the Abuse Logs for a few of these spambots and I have not seen a single one that has attempted to spam after the initial attempt. To me it looks like the spambots try to spam once and afterwards they stop. I understand that locking may be useful as a precautionary measure but my personal opinion is that with Stewards not being very active lately it would be more useful for them to focus on other tasks (for example there are a few Dormancy Policy requests that are unhandled) rather than to focus on proactive measures for something that is very unlikely to happen based on the current abuse patters of the spambots that I have observed. --DeeM28 (talk) 10:16, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * My argument is not a matter of them spamming after the initial attempt. It is the basic principle that an account created exclusively for spam has no need to remain available. This is humoring based on a will to help you understand what is already a standard procedure executed (in good time) by global staff and has been for quite some time. Naturally it is not the highest priority, but neither is it in any way particularly difficult to do when they have a spare moment or would like distraction. It takes considerably more review and thought to consider one's Adoption request than to snipe a routine list. All said, you make a good case why we should have more Stewards or Global Sysops in general, even if I do not feel I am yet appropriate for the task personally. --Raidarr (talk) 12:38, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand your points but I still think that if Stewards had to lock every single spambot then they would not have time for anything else so then why lock these random ones? Anyway this matter is not worthy of an argument of any sort so if Stewards or Global Sysops think it is necessary to do this I am fine with that. --DeeM28 (talk) 17:52, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ideally this is where we get more Global Sysops in. It's best practice to perform the task, but obviously the current resources are a little strained. --Raidarr (talk) 20:36, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Can you deal with YukariWayne?
YukariWayne has been pestering me with private messages full of false accusations of the so-called "wrongdoings" of DuchesstheSponge and MarioMario456 on Awesome Games Wiki, and the admins there (except for Allistayrian, sort of) can't do a thing to stop him, so I was wondering since not only is he blocked on AGW, BTSW, and (possibly) RWW for 6 months, but was also giving me shit with his accusations, can you do something about this, like, maybe, global him or something? SuperStreetKombat (talk) 21:58, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Private messages do not exist on MH unless you are talking about private wikis. As for messages on your user profile, you can tell him to stop and if he does not he can be subject to local moderation action. There is no cause for a global block and the crime of irritating the Qualitipedia administrators is not grounds for a global block unless it is an account with a clear intent exclusively for vandalism or the like. In short, just about nothing for the Stewards to deal with. --Raidarr (talk) 22:26, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no reason for him to be globalled unless he uses sockpuppets or is a sockpuppet of someone else. I've cross-wiki blocked him indefinitely due to his hate blogs on me on BS&EW, his heavy disrespecting of the dead and heavily annoying you with my "wrongdoings". —Mario Mario 456 12:20, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

I think that User:Il nonciclopediano divertente is a sock of User:Il nonciclopediano umoristico because they have almost the same nick umoristico=divertente. They created vandalism pages. And they don't edit at the same moment.--Angelo Pisani (talk) 15:50, 26 July 2021 (UTC)


 * To add to what has said, this user seems to have a habit of blanking articles, not to mention their first edit was on their user page, which is kinda suspicious, similar to a locked user with a trolling message that has since been deleted by Reception123, making nonsense pages, strangely similar to not only this log right here, but also this type of nonsense. Oddly enough, these strange edits seem pretty odd to me. One thing that caught my eye was this strange blanking of the page. I think this should be investigated too.

 * I don't know what "PII" mean, but the spammers use proxies like colocation and web hosting solution, so since this website already blocks the tor network and often cracks down on VPN abuse, then I don't see why that issue should be made less apparent. As a matter of fact, if you use a website called domain tools you can find their ranges and then range block them, so they cannot come back via another IP address. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 15:49, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Additionally, the reason why I asked for their IP addresses was to blacklist them since they are not broadband addresses, they are proxies. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 15:53, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That is still sensitive information, and that would be an invasion of their privacy, so to speak. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:26, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This a proxy IP address, this is not their real address. How is that an invasion of privacy? Do you think open proxies like VPNs and the tor network are sensitive information too?
 * I got plenty of these spambots and absolutely all of them were coming from web hosts like ServerMania, B2NETSOLUTIONS and EONIX just to name a few examples.
 * Hell, some whataboutism, but what about all the IP addresses you block. You folks invade their privacy each time you let them edit here or whenever you block them for vandalism. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:39, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Just recently I got a spambot who used the VPN service IPvanish to spam on the wiki and I am not afraid to share the IP address because it is a Virtual Private Newtwork. https://whois.domaintools.com/209.107.204.182 You may want to check the IP here for more detailed information: https://ipinfo.info/html/ip_checker.php
 * I swear if I ever get reverted or blocked for posting the IP address belonging to an open proxy that's used exclusively used for vandalism or spam. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:48, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , from what I can tell you, per No open proxies policy, proxy addresses are generally blocked by CVT members whenever they discover any. So, if the CheckIUser shows that the IP used by those spambots (listed by RhinosF1) are proxies, stewards can take care of it. There is no need to publically post those IP's. And yes, IP address is still the personal identifiable information, one should not be asking users or anyone about it and only stewards, in case of miraheze, should have access to knowing IP and if it appears to be a proxy, they can block it. So, users like me and you should not be landing into someone's work. Yes, in your wiki if you encounter a proxy IP, better is to post here and ask a CVT member for the Global block, other than blocking locally. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 15:35, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, Mazzaz is right. A steward will never publicly link a user with an IP address regardless of what the user does, that is private information and that would be against global policy. It being a proxy doesn't matter, the fact is a user will not be identified by their IP if they are logged in. If they choose to edit logged out that is their choice and they should be aware that their IP will be visible. And yes, we publicly ban IP addresses but that's not explicitly identifying which user edited from which IP. I don't think it's necessary to continue pursuing this discussion, the point is: Stewards do CUs and globally block IPs as necessary but they will not tell you which IP belonged to which user.

Merge user on nonciclopedia.org
Maybe I'm late for request merge account as other user after Nonciclopedia move from wikia to Miraheze. 8 years ago, I was using User:Bhenry1990 at old Nonciclopedia and other Uncyclopedias hosted by Wikia. Then I quitted for several years. Now I return to Uncyclopedias. I cannot login as Bhenry1990 here, nor create account as Bhenry1990 at Miraheze. I guess my old account was created here when Nonciclopedia moved, but community says someone has used it here on Miraheze. I need Steward's help to merge my old account into my new account then rename back to Bhenry1990, if the old account is actually not in use. Thanks. Bhenry2021 (talk) 09:54, 28 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Apologies for the delay, I'll take a look at doing this tomorrow. For clarification of process, we'll merge the old username into the new username (to preserve the login information), and then rename the new name to be the same as the old name. -- Void  Whispers 00:16, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy policy exemption
We kindly request that you exempt the following wiki from the Dormancy Policy. Thank you in advance!

Wiki: repository.archiopedia.org (or archiopedia.miraheze.org).

Reason: The wiki is an encyclopedia and a database; this means that it may not be edited for long periods of time, but it should remain active continuously in order for our readers to be always able to access it and use the materials that have already been uploaded.

CheckUser request for 2 accounts:

 * CaillouRocks
 * DiaperFan

Okay, I am requesting a CheckUser on these 2 accounts for the following reasons: I've noticed they've uploaded the exact same NSFW pictures on 2 wikis, with CaillouRocks doing it on the Garbage Roblox Games Wiki, and DiaperFan doing it on the Perfection Roblox Games Wiki. I also noticed that one of the files on 2 wikis that were uploaded by 2 users are exactly the same as the one that CaillouRocks has uploaded on the Garbage Roblox Games Wiki. These logs and the amount of overwhelming evidence was enough to convince me that they are the same person, and I'd like to request a Steward to perform a CheckUser on those 2 accounts. Thanks for reading this. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:33, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Da Nonciclopedia, l'enciclopedia liberalizzata (ma solo in Olanda).
 * Roberta Guidi
 * Osso.Buco

 * ALIK 54 BETF

It's come to my attention that all 5 of these accounts were involved in some vandalism, and some examples like these are pretty suspicious, as these diffs are almost exactly the same edits compared to these following diffs from this guy in question. Could a Steward please have a look into this too? I know I'm sounding like a broken record at this point, but at the very least it should be looked into more. Thanks for reading.

Hello. In mid-July, I responded to the annual Miraheze survey. In it I replied that I would like to be contacted to discuss two issues. I have not received any messages via email yet. I consult: From already thank you very much. Kind regards. Hugo Ar (talk) 03:22, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Muchas gracias Agent Isai por la amable respuesta y el enlace a los resultados de la encuesta.
 * Respondí la encuesta a través de mh:wikifrases:especial:MirahezeSurvey. ¿Estaré incluido en los resultados finales de la encuesta?
 * Entre los comentarios que acabo de leer no aparecen los temas que he planteado. De los que leí allí, estoy de acuerdo con el lento almacenamiento en caché de las actualizaciones.
 * Mi propuesta es mejorar el posicionamiento SEO. Similares páginas wiki de otras granjas están mejor posicionadas que las de Miraheze en los motores de búsqueda. En mi experiencia, las páginas se indexan más rápidamente a los motores de búsqueda introduciendo las URL en Google Console, por ejemplo. Es una labor bastante tediosa porque hay que hacerlo manualmente porque las wikis no tienen sitemap para que el motor indexe las páginas desde allí.
 * Y esa es mi solicitud: añadir la extensión sitemap: mw:Extension:AutoSitemap en ManageWiki para tener la oportunidad de que los motores de búsqueda rastreen las páginas directamente desde cada sitemap, en vez de hacerlo manualmente página por página. ¿Se podrá hacer? Gracias. Saludos cordiales. Hugo Ar (talk) 04:13, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much Agent Isai for the kind response and the link to the survey results.
 * I answered the survey through mh:wikifrases:special:MirahezeSurvey. Will I be included in the final results of the survey?
 * Among the comments I have just read, the issues I have raised do not appear. From the ones I read there, I agree with the slow caching of updates.
 * My proposal is to improve SEO positioning. Similar wiki pages from other farms rank higher than Miraheze's in search engines. In my experience, pages are indexed faster by search engines by entering the URLs in the Google Console, for example. It is quite a tedious task because you have to do it manually because wikis do not have a sitemap for the engine to index the pages from there.
 * And that's my request: add the extension sitemap: mw:Extension:AutoSitemap in ManageWiki to have the opportunity for search engines to crawl pages directly from each sitemap, instead of manually page by page. Can it be done? Thanks. Kind regards. Hugo Ar (talk) 04:13, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Miraheze ofrece sitemaps automaticos, por ejemplo, este es el sitemap de este wiki (Miraheze Meta). El sitemap está incluido en el robots.txt de tu wiki y debería ser detectado automáticamente por Google. Si no lo es, simplemente ve a /robots.txt en tu wiki (p. ej. https://miwiki.miraheze.org/robots.txt) y encontrarás un enlace a el sitemap. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:05, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * (translation) Miraheze offers automatic sitemaps, for example, this is this wiki (Miraheze Meta)'s sitemap.

If it isn't, simply go to /robots.txt on your wiki (e.g. https://mywiki.miraheze.org/robots.txt) and you will find a link to the sitemap.


 * Gracias por el enlace, Agent Isai. Me refiero a un «sitemap» con todas las páginas URL del wiki para que el motor de búsqueda rastree desde allí todas las páginas. Google console enseña cómo hacerlo, pero se requiere de una página .xml y la inserción de cada URL es manual. ¿O hay algo que no entiendo bien? Hugo Ar (talk) 07:51, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Hugo Ar (talk) 07:51, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Si tienes problemas localizando el sitemap de tu wiki, puedes dejar el enlace a tu wiki aquí y yo te daré el enlace para el sitemap en forma .xml. Gracias.

If you have trouble finding the sitemap to your wiki, you can leave a link to your wiki here and I will link the .xml sitemap file for you. Thank you.


 * Hola Agent Isai, he leido en tu página de usuario que conoces muy bien el idioma español. Intentaré explayarme un poco más sobre el asunto.
 * Sí, pude comprobar los enlaces que me pasaste. Uno es .txt y el otro es xml. Pero lo que encuentro allí no es el sitemap con todas las páginas del wiki, sino solo la página principal.
 * A los pocos días de la creación del wiki que administro activé´a través de ManageWiki la extensión WikiSEO. Luego, mediante la configuración auxiliar, agregué la clave de verificación para Google y Yandex (lamentablmente aún no logro conseguir una clave para Bing). En uno o dos días la página principal del wiki ya aparecía en esos motores de búsqueda. Aguardé varios días más para ver si las restantes páginas se iban añadiendo a los buscadores, pero no ocurría. Decidí, pues, ingresarlas una a una a trevés de Google Console y de Yandex Webmaster.
 * En muy poco tiempo las páginas comenzaron a aparecer. Como comprobación de que la aparición en los buscadores no es automática, sino que es a través del pedido de indexado página por página, dejé muchas páginas sin añadir, a fin de ver si el motor de búsqueda las añade por sí mismo (aunque sea más tardíamente). Hasta este momento (luego de tres meses) no hay caso: solo aparecen en el motor de búsqueda aquellas páginas de las que solicité la indexación.
 * Aquí puedes ver:
 * 100 resultados en Google (todos indexados por mí desde Google Console, excepto la página principal).
 * Para no lidiar con la indexación manual de cada página del wiki solicito que se tenga en cuenta incorporar la extensión mw:Extension: AutoSitemap. «La extensión AutoSitemap crea automáticamente un archivo "sitemap.xml" en cada evento de creación / edición / eliminación de página. El archivo de mapa del sitio ayuda a los motores de búsqueda a observar las páginas de su sitio. Esta extensión se basa en la extensión ManualSitemap.»
 * Miraheze podría aparecer mejor posicionada en los buscadores si se implementara esta extensión, ya que ahora, si comprobamos cualquier wiki, incluso este (que es el principal) no tiene todas sus páginas indexadas. Con esto no pretendo que cada vez que se cree una página aparezca de inmediato el resultado en cada motor de búsquesa, pero sí, aunque sea, al cabo de tres, cuatro o cinco días. Si las páginas no aparecen en los buscadores, nadie las podrá encontrar. De allí mi interés por este tema. Un cordial saludo. Hugo Ar (talk) 08:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Translated by Google Translator
 * Hello Agent Isai, I have read on your user page that you know the Spanish language very well. I will try to elaborate a little more on the matter.
 * Yes, I was able to check the links you passed me. One is .txt and the other is xml. But what I find there is not the sitemap with all the wiki pages, but only the main page.
 * A few days after the creation of the wiki that I manage, I activated the WikiSEO extension through ManageWiki. Then, using the helper settings, I added the verification key for Google and Yandex (unfortunately I still can't get a key for Bing). Within a day or two, the main page of the wiki was already appearing on those search engines. I waited several more days to see if the remaining pages were added to the search engines, but it did not happen. So I decided to enter them one by one through Google Console and Yandex Webmaster.
 * In no time the pages began to appear. As a check that the appearance in the search engines is not automatic, but is through the page-by-page indexing order, I left many pages without adding, in order to see if the search engine adds them by itself (even if it is more belatedly). Until now (after three months) there is no case: only those pages from which I requested indexing appear in the search engine.
 * Here you can see:
 * 100 results in Google (all indexed by me from the Google Console, except the main page).
 * In order not to deal with the manual indexing of each wiki page, I request that you consider incorporating the extension mw:Extension: AutoSitemap. The AutoSitemap extension automatically creates a "sitemap.xml" file on each page create / edit / delete event. The sitemap file helps search engines look at the pages of your site. This extension is based on the ManualSitemap extension.
 * Miraheze could appear better positioned in the search engines if this extension were implemented, since now, if we check any wiki, even this one (which is the main one) does not have all its pages indexed. With this I do not pretend that every time a page is created the result will appear immediately in each search engine, but yes, even after three, four or five days. If the pages do not appear in the search engines, nobody will be able to find them. Hence my interest in this topic. Cordial greeting. Hugo Ar (talk) 08:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request on suspicious users:

 * Mrs. Puff
 * Bling-Bling Boy (Yes, it's locked, but still requesting a CheckUser on them anyway)

To or anyone with the Steward rights, listen closely: I am requesting a CheckUser on both of these 2 accounts, mainly because I have noticed that Bling-Bling Boy was replacing content with nonsense like this one, and while the other one, "Mrs. Puff", blanked out this page and even going as far as to replace some sections of content with complete nonsense here. I have a feeling that these 2 accounts were created with the intention of targeting specific articles like the Johnny Test pages on both the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki and the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki, and 2 SpongeBob movies on the Greatest Movies Wiki, with similar edit summaries, and the way they make their marks.

Reopen Ficreation
Hi, I'm a user among others on Ficreation who was not warned that it would be hastily closed with none of the pages loading, this was done by the user MBL because of some petty infighting among the admins, could you please have MBL undo what he has done, or do so yourselves, thank you.

 * Hello, this does appear to be a local dispute; Stewards generally let these be resolved by the community. If I recall well, Ficreation had various bureaucrats, any of them can reopen the wiki at Special:ManageWiki/core. However, should bureaucrats not respond to community calls to reopen the wiki and if it is community consensus that the wiki be reopened, you all can hold an election where users of the wiki can vote and decide if the wiki should be reopened. If you gain a majority, Stewards will reopen ther wiki. Thank you. Agent Isai Talk to me! 05:38, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Suspected sock that needs checking:

 * Mr. Namless Thing?

I'm going to list a bunch of things that might be an indication that DearMaster6 might be behind this:


 * This user page seems to be almost nearly the same as DearMaster6's userpage
 * Re-creation of a page, which was just a blank page, picking up where the master has left off on. Mr. Namless Thing? vs. DearMaster6
 * Similarities in their editing on the Squirrel Boy page on the TS&EW, that overlaps with each other.
 * Editing patterns between Mr. Namless Thing?, and DearMaster6 are identical to each other, minusing the unrelated articles.

In conclusion, I can safely conclude that DearMaster6 is abusing multiple accounts, and has been suspected of using 2 other accounts prior to locking, like Teen Titans Go! Rocks and The something guy mainly due to both those accounts, and DearMaster6 using the "It's a rip-off of X" claim onto pages. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:16, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree there are some similarities, but why was Mr. Namless Thing blocked other than for suspicion of abusing multiple accounts? Given how long ago DearMaster6 was blocked, if you don't have a legitimate reason for locally blocking Mr. Namless Thing, I'd rather prefer to see you unblock them, welcome them to your wikis, and do point them towards each local wiki's rules as well as our global policies.

 * Actually, I think stewards do. Users would like to fork the wiki to keep it running. On this subject the content policy says:
 * "[You may not create] a direct fork of another Miraheze wiki where little to no attempts have been made to mediate situations on the existing wiki or existing community. If mediation has been attempted and failed, contact a steward who will be able to support the community through any follow up processes deemed necessary including but not limited to acceptance of a fork wiki as an exemption to this clause."
 * I think that it is fairly clear that there is a disagreement over the wiki - the admins want to close it but several users would like it to stay up. I don't know whether stewards think that adequate mediation has happened or not but (unless the admins chose to put the wikis up for adoption) they should step in either to say what mediation should look like or to support the community with forking the wiki. ~ El Komodos Drago (talk to me) 14:08, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * We actually did allow some community consensus, as people shared their thoughts on that action on the blog before locking the wikis was done. TigerBlazer (talk) 18:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * "Some" does not suffice. The decision was made on the same day, not to mention it was a discussion before the discussion was pushed through with an action announced afterwards. Then, you had/have evidence of several users with investment who clearly had no idea what was going on. Concensus is achieved after appropriate time for all regulars to appear, and on the wiki that is in question - not made on its behalf on a different wiki, even if it is the largest of its group. Due to this questionable state of consensus, the amount of still-interested people and the quoted clause provided by, it is reasonable for users to request a new version or even a transfer of power to admins who still care about the premise, even as other admins and users don't. To hand off content when it doesn't suit personal fancy instead of purging it, as is too common on that neck of the woods I'm afraid. So for the Steward audience there is a case for the exception to be made, and for that matter, there is no case for you or anyone else to discourage the creation of an alternative for those who care (although reopening the existing one would be more tricky and is up to them). --Raidarr (talk) 22:28, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Demote Game2Winter on polandballwiki
Hello, though I am in no way affiliated with this community, I am here on behalf of the bureaucrats of polandballwiki as they have asked for my help. It has been decided by community consensus and bureaucrat consensus that Game2Winter must be demoted for attempted take over of the wiki. The bureaucrats and community now ask that this user be demoted by Stewards of their bureaucratic rights. Below will be the bureaucrats affirming this decision. Agent Isai Talk to me! 23:50, 11 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, I'm a Bureaucrat on the Polandball Wiki and this is my affirmation. MxMelody (talk) 23:58, 11 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm a bureaucrat on the Polandball Wiki and this is my affirmation. Collisions (talk) 23:56, 11 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I'm one of the bureaucrats on the Polandball Wiki and this is my affirmation. ChocoMingo (talk) 00:02, 12 August 2021 (UTC)


 * IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS: I was not trying to take over the wiki, I was simply trying to maintain my bureaucrat powers. A side note here, I was the one who founded the wiki (you can see proof, my account is the oldest in the Polandball Wiki). I gave all of them the bureaucrat role because A) they had been in the community for a long time and B) they were trustworthy, and now they are trying to stage a mutiny against me. Which side are you on? Game2Winter (talk) 23:59, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

If you are going to do this, then...
Can you at least tell me how I'm supposed to download XML dumps? Because if I go to download them, all I get is a document tree. Plus, I need them for my future projects. SPEEDYBEAVER ( talk ) 21:27, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you trying to make an export on Miraheze? If so, go to Special:DataDump on your wiki and request an export dump be made. Agent Isai Talk to me! 21:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But I'm talking about resurrecting deleted wikis from the dead (such as Heroes Wiki of Miraheze). SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 21:58, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * To request an XML dump of a wiki that was closed, you will need to open a Phabricator task, asking that the wiki be reopened. Agent Isai Talk to me! 22:02, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But I'm talking about wikis that are permanently deleted, meaning that I will need direct links to download their backups. SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 22:05, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Again, you can ask for a sysadmin on Phabricator to provide you the XML dump. Agent Isai Talk to me! 04:38, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But again, there are wikis that were permanently deleted, meaning there's no way to generate backups. In addition to that, some of them went as far as violating Content Policy and sometimes Code of Conduct. These include,
 * Atrocious YouTubers Wiki
 * Atrocious Deviants Wiki
 * Horrible Vyonders Wiki
 * Unfavorable Wikis & Users Wiki
 * Incredible Wikis & Users Wiki
 * Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki
 * The Starin SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 05:20, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * We won't be providing dumps of these. You can try archive.org for the standard public wiki ones. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  07:07, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But I still want said wikis' dumps because they may be useful in the future. SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 07:48, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Available backups will be on https://archive.org/details/@reception123 if any exist. The wikis were dropped so we can't take new XMLs now. Reception123 is out of office (not that we have physical offices) so won't be able to see if they are on server. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  08:26, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But, like what I said, I can't download XML files so, I need help. SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 09:13, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If you cannot download from archive.org, then you are completely out of luck. It's rather strange that you decide to make a 'if you are going to do this' title and content when the decision has been done for more than enough time for the right people to exercise due diligence. Unfortunately quick searches don't give me database names to resemble what you're looking for. But that doesn't mean they aren't buried somewhere. --Raidarr (talk) 11:23, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, here are the database names for each of them, respectively,
 * atrociousyoutuberswiki
 * atrociousdeviantswiki
 * horriblevyonderswikiwiki
 * unfavorablefandomwikiswiki
 * incrediblewikisanduserswiki
 * toxicfandomsandhatedomswiki
 * thestarinwiki SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 12:22, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

The wikis you have mentioned have been wiped from the database months ago, so the dumps might not be there for whatever reason. In addition, it is worth noting that the Atrocious YouTubers Wiki, Horrible Vyonders Wiki, and Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki were recently wiped from the database. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:25, 13 August 2021 (UTC)


 * But, can you at least help me how I'm supposed to download dumps? SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 14:27, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If you didn't understand what I'm saying, just go to here, and click ones that end with ".xml". And see what I'm talking about. SPEEDYBEAVER  ( talk ) 19:51, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I have verified all the wikis you are looking for are inside that tar file (excluding unfavorablefandomwikiswiki and thestarinwiki). To get the XML dumps, download "wikibackups27102019.tar.gz," open it with a dedicated program (like 7-zip, WinRAR, just to name a few) and then inside you will find the .xml's for the wikis you are looking for.

Renaming my account only on a select few wikis.
I'm planning on renaming my account sometime in the future, but I'm wondering if it is possible to do so on the wikis of my choosing instead of every wiki, as there's a lot of wikis I don't want to be attached to anymore. DeciduousWater534 (talk) 03:12, 13 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Because of the way our login system, CentralAuth, is designed, it's not possible to unattach and rename your account on certain wikis. If you want your account renamed, you have to have it renamed globally. Sorry for the inconvenience. Agent Isai Talk to me! 03:22, 13 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Huh, okay. I guess I'll just make a new account then and use that new account (provided I won't get in trouble for having multiple accounts). Thanks for letting me know. --DeciduousWater534 (talk) 03:28, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * DeciduousWater534 That's totally fine. What you might want to do is create a global user page on Loginwiki, for your new account, stating that it is the alternate account of DeciduousWater534 and you will make every effort to not edit on wikis where locally blocked on your main account, but if you do, to just drop you a note. That shows good intentions and faith on your part. Dmehus (talk) 00:56, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I think he's referring to both the Incredible Characters Wiki and the Loathsome Characters Wiki. And I can't stress out how many times I've been seeing requests like these pop up here for a number of days. Making demands or unnecessary requests to have them re-opened while there was a community consensus on a blog post from Crappy Games Wiki have all voted to have both of the wikis closed down were unanimous. I'm going to have to ask that everybody should stop with the requests to having both of them re-opened. And to be honest, characters don't exactly have reception, unlike toys, or other types of media. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:21, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah dude, they are never coming back. TigerBlazer (talk) 17:45, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * To the contrary, I think it is probably inevitable that they do come back. The question is whether the admins do the sensible thing and put the wiki up for adoption or whether we wait for it to be closed, grab the backup from Archive.Org, and file a create a wiki request with the backup. ~ El Komodos Drago (talk to me) 01:08, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Question
Alright, so I've mostly finished setting up my new account (which I'm using right now), and I no longer have any use for the old account. Is it okay if my old account gets globally locked? I have no intention of going back. --Blazikeye535 (talk) 05:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you asking to have your old account globally locked? If so, please provide your old username and a Steward will advise you of the options available to you. Agent Isai Talk to me! 07:14, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, my old account is DeciduousWater534. I will confirm this request on that account as well. —Blazikeye535 (talk) 14:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This is my old account which I will no longer use, and I am again confirming that I want this account (which is DeciduousWater534, and not Blazikeye535) globally locked. —DeciduousWater534 (talk) 14:29, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Blazikeye535 for confirming from both of your accounts. ✅. Please make sure you do not edit on the   where your original account was locally blocked. I would recommend not visiting that wiki as well. The wiki is, or was last I checked, private, so you'd not be able to view it anyway. Dmehus (talk) 01:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * My block on that wiki was the main reason why I created my new account, that block on CentralAuth stuck out like a sore thumb, which constantly irked me. I know that sounds like a crazy excuse for creating a new account, but I tried multiple times in the past to either get unblocked from the wiki or have my account detached from that wiki and a ton of other wikis, but to no avail, so I went with my last resort option (which was making a new account). I use the CentralAuth very commonly to look at contributions and blocks, and to prevent the usual trolls/vandals from vandalizing wikis they have yet to vandalize, and the quick way I pull it up is through a highlighted link to my global account info. That's why the block constantly got to me, I was constantly reminded of my past mistakes seeing it every single time, as well as worrying about getting blocked on a few other wikis associated with that wiki. Anyways, thanks for locking the account, I'll make sure to stick to my wikis and wikis that are harmless while avoiding wikis containing the users that I have bad blood with. --Blazikeye535 (talk) 03:54, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy policy on Lostech wiki
Hello, I am the founder and nearly only contributor of Lostech wiki (lostech.miraheze.org), a resource on the BattleTech franchise, with over 2900 articles.

I would like to ask for an exception to inactivity and auto-closing due to the following reasons.
 * I don't have time to make frequent edits.
 * As the game updates very slowly there may be long periods without new rules (indeed, the base rules have barely changed in nearly 40 years).
 * The resource is still useful even if it isn't updated constantly.
 * It is the only BattleTech wiki with mixed fanmade and official content.
 * Several articles and sections have unique info not found anywhere else.

Thanks in advance. --NimoStar (talk) 12:45, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for Key-Power

Request CU for the above 2 accounts. This is because the behavior at the time of posting is very similar and these accounts may be bypassing the block. Schwarz ・ Talk /  ウソペディア  20:25, 14 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Could you explain what made you draw the conclusion that these 2 accounts are possibly related to each other? Draw out the diffs, if possible. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:40, 14 August 2021 (UTC)


 * S/he often writes "おk" in the summary (Posted by Key-Power on Usopedia, Posted by ロープTA on Uncyclopedia). This is a slang that stands for "OK" in Japan, and I don't see any users other than s/he writing in the summary. There are other small similarities such as style and puns, but it is very difficult for me to translate them into English and explain them.-- Schwarz ・ Talk /  ウソペディア  21:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Regarding the puns I mentioned above, puns with similar trends have been posted on usopedia and shiromachiya (comments on shiromachiya have been deleted). Even if you try to translate these from Japanese to English, it is very difficult to translate because the sentences are meaningless, but words A and a with similar sounds are lined up, followed by words B and b with similar sounds. The style of arranging them is very similar. I don't know if these comments will be accepted as evidence, but it's certainly a special tendency not seen by other users.-- Schwarz ・ Talk /  ウソペディア  02:34, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy policy exemption
We kindly request that you exempt the following wiki from the Dormancy Policy. Thank you in advance!

Note: Our initial request (written on 1st August 2021) was ignored and it is now archived. Is there anything else that we should do in order for our request to be processed?

Wiki: repository.archiopedia.org (or archiopedia.miraheze.org).

Reason: The wiki is an encyclopedia and a database; this means that it may not be edited for long periods of time, but it should remain active continuously in order for our readers to be always able to access it and use the materials that have already been uploaded.

Falsely Accused of Pedophilia
I recently made a blog about hentai on Crappy Games and though I deleted it because it was causing some drama, a comment I made was taken out of proportion and now I'm being accused of being a pedophile. All I said was that in some hentai lolis are actually adults, and named two hentai that proved my point. Because of this, I've been blocked on all the Reception Wikis and my repuation is now shot to hell. I am not a pedophile I was merely trying to explain something and now it's being blown way out of proportion. I'd like to be unblocked and explain my side of the story. Grust (talk) 21:47, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Please read the above and respond accordingly. Thank you. Agent Isai Talk to me! 22:04, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sadly, DuchessTheSponge won't respond to this thread at all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:14, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Are they still banned from posting on the SN? Agent Isai Talk to me! 22:41, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Nope, their blocks were modified by around 20 hours ago. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:02, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to be a pedophile. I was even invited to share my side of the story on Discord before I was banned.  For hating cancel culture you sure are trying to avoid hearing my side of the story. Grust (talk) 22:20, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay an update, I just heard that what I said is still technically illegal in the U.K. but safe in the U.S. where I reside. If that is indeed the case, I won't pursue ending my block any further and will leave the matter closed. Grust (talk) 22:45, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Illegal is contingent on the content in question being a deliberate drawing of children in an obscene context, while you made a statement discussing them in context of the 'adult age despite being called loli' if I remember the screencap correctly. That is not so decisive under UK law as far as I know, though it's up to someone more versed to say. Either way I personally found the affair disproportionately handled and the accusation still inaccurate. --Raidarr (talk) 00:21, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * In the end, it doesn't matter now, that disproportion has already destroyed my reputation and now more think I'm a creep even though all I did was say something stupid. I hear some on Discord are defending me but I got blocked before I could say anything.  Even if I'm found innocent and my reputation is somehow restored to life, this incident will ensure that even if I'm unblocked, I won't be returning to the Reception Wikis. Grust (talk) 00:50, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * It’s ok bud. I will avenge you and hopefully operate the wikis. Hope you do good. jrStudios (talk) 01:08, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the topic, for mainly not having enough evidence to back up their claims on that. Anyone who is caught restoring the topic will receive a warning from me. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:10, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Please consider a policy of archiving with an open warning and otherwise curating reasonable outlets to discuss, rather than the continued trend of deleting evidence for those trying to piece things together themselves. --Raidarr (talk) 01:37, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * At this point a defense of you is on principle. Against weakly substantiated accusations of pedophilia, against the tendency to bizarre rash decisions from a small handful of local admins, and against the misinformation culture that would needlessly do the reputation damage. Void indicates it is the determination of the community. At this point I must claim there is no universal determination. It's whoever makes the most compelling sounding statement, with big decision being taken on them as soon as 5 minutes in between. The most bizarre consequence of this so far has been the purging of any mention of you from various pages by users who take the claim of pedophilia for granted and react morally while all evidence of the topic has been purged and must be drawn like teeth from select admins. The claim meanwhile is seen on several entries from CentralAuth, thanks to the disproportionate scale of a QP moderation block. That is not acceptable. Nothing that was mentioned in the blog justifies this level of response, even if I would declare the entire post was in completely bad taste given the audience and dare I say, the sensitivity that has been proven here about its contents. --Raidarr (talk) 01:29, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * To be clear, what I am asking here is for feedback from the community regarding whether or not they find the behavior to be acceptable. I also find the blog and comment to be distasteful, but not personally warranting any real moderation action (particularly where the author requested deletion). This is a screenshot of the comment in question. I believe the accusations and blocks to be overreactions, and will be modifying the block summaries as a common courtesy (cc ). -- Void  Whispers 01:48, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm actually reversing Grust's blocks as we speak. It was DEFINITELY not warranted at all, and I wasn't quite comfortable with the blocks handed to him. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:50, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I found the multiple actual log deletions to be additionally strange. Other than that I think it's fair to say that the behavior was not good (on the discord there was a fair amount of backlash, and some users including myself took issue with the type of content being put into a blog on the wiki) but the response to that would be along the lines of deleting the content and blocking the topic, and not an absolute purge. As it stands the opinion in general is mixed leaning to 'that's disproportionate', based on observation of Discord and local commentary. It's worth noting that some of the backlash is linked to wider drama that is quite a lot of mess to sift through. One underlying issue is the frequent decision making that not only fails to consult the community beyond very short lived blog posts and a couple supports, but fails to even give fellow admins time to react before acting (ie, DarkMatterMan had no way of catching up to the events that happened in a matter of hours between post deletion, restoration, and the escalation to claims of pedophilia). It's a wider issue than what you ask, but the background confusion plays into the difficulty of a clear and impartial statement here. --Raidarr (talk) 01:54, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. UK Law does prohibit cartoon pornography depicting minors, even should the character depicted as underage be stated to be above the age of consent (eg looks 10 but is 100 is not a valid defense). Regardless, the legality of such images is outside of the purview of us here, as no matching images were distributed through Miraheze. It is not&mdash;to the best of my understanding&mdash;illegal to discuss such contents. Though it is a risky topic, as we may be required to remove and/or report to the authorities any material that encourages or distributes such images (including via links). I may be incorrect on that last point though. Ultimately, it is the determination of the community what behavior they find acceptable or not. I do invite users comment on this regard, however I strongly recommend not to label individuals as a "pedophile" out of interest of not provoking libel/defamation. -- Void  Whispers 01:09, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Exactly my way of thinking. And to think I was labeled as a pedophile multiple times, especially with no evidence by the accusers, and this is the very same ordeal that had the trolls locked for such libelous accusations here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * After learning that law, I made some major changes to the Animated Muscle Men Wiki. I removed characters that were in Loli hentai and made a rule saying that muscle men in loli or shota hentai weren't allowed, I got rid of muscular kids and I changed the minimum age for hunks from 14 to 17.  Grust (talk) 01:33, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If I have to still be banned from the Reception Wikis, can you change my blocks to something a little more respectable. Say I made a horrible mistake and I'm willing to face the consequences. Grust (talk) 01:33, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

I read the comments Grust wrote and I don't see how it made him a pedophile. Some of you guys don't know what a pedophile is. A pedophile is a person who made sexual pleasure towards children and I don't see Grust say anything inappropriate towards children. All he said was "Some hentai girls are actually adults".

 * Thank you :) Grust (talk) 01:34, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * To make another point, I probably would've warned him instead, rather than indefinitely block him over something rather stupid or could've just made a partial block for at least 60 hours (2 and a half days to be accurate), as that's all there is. If he was REALLY a pedophile, then they should, at the very least, provide context of him having FANTASIES of actual children, provide screenshots to back up their claims (and make sure they are accurate and just not plain libel or defamation). This was quite the interesting topic I've seen all day, and I'm sure all of you just can't stress how over-reactive this was, to the point of Grust being cancelled.

 * Maybe given the clear volume of community interest (I count 8 people asking about it on meta, 4 directly asking for it to be reopened) you'll put it up for adoption. I do not want to offend or upset the Qualipedia admins (and I can completely understand if they dislike this wiki and wish it disassociated from Qualipedia) but I can not comprehend what made them think that deliberately preventing the wikis from being adopted was a good idea and view their actions in this regard as unreasonable and obstinate. ~ El Komodos Drago (talk to me) 12:59, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Abuse Filter Throttle
Hi,

As an emergency measure, to support counter vandalism operations, SRE raised the AbuseFilter threshold significantly as a global abuse filter was throttled.

This was only an emergency measure and we will be returning this to its default state within the next few days as it poses a risk to the site in the event of actual issues with a filter syntax.

This means that unless abuse filters are changed to be split up or moved to the spam blacklist, when they are edited, they will be disabled if they hit more than 5% of edits within 24 hours of being edited.

We will confirm later which filters hit more than 5% of actions.

If a filter does get throttled, we can override it on the server side but would rather not outside of a geniune emergency.

Thanks,
 * RhinosF1 (Miraheze) (talk) 21:20, 18 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 18 & 19 are both above the threshold. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  18:36, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

I would like MarioMario456 to be globaled
He is a part of the forbidden wiki called Encyclopedia Dramatica in which he used that wiki to doxx people's personal info on the wiki in which is not allowed on Miraheze. He should be globaled for harassment, doxxing, and stuff. Fainted (talk) 13:15, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * "Forbidden wiki" is invalid in this context, given ED has nothing to do with Miraheze. Behavior on Miraheze is what matters. If you're going to gravedig about a user on another platform, the least you can do is provide a case with evidence and links. Interestingly you have just been banned by over on Qualitipedia for sockpuppetry and making claims that are apparently very similar to previously banned users/accounts there. So you might want to strengthen your case if you're writing in good faith, since this is not enough to global anyone. --Raidarr (talk) 13:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser question about authority

 * As RhinosF1 pointed out, checkusers are only preformed by Stewards. The right is not generally granted to anyone except in truly exceptional circumstances (but even so, I don't think anyone has ever gotten CheckUser before though I may be wrong). Agent Isai Talk to me! 18:15, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello! User:Agent Isai, User:RhinosF1 I will use the CheckUser authority to investigate puppetry. That's why I chose to ask here. Ekrexso (talk) 18:21, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Because CheckUser allows you to access personal information (like IP addresses), it is reserved for highly trusted individuals such as the Stewards. If you believe that a user is using sockpuppets on your wiki, you can always request a CheckUser for them on here, attach relevant evidence/things you think suggest someone is a sockpuppet, and a Steward will check it out and report back to you. Thanks. Agent Isai Talk to me! 18:25, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request
There are 2 Users on my wiki that I consider as puppets.


 * User:GÖLGE-X-X-7
 * User:Eski biri

Evidence;
 * 1) I think the User is most likely connected to GÖLGE-X-X-7, I have my doubts about that.
 * 2) The user gives me doubt and the necessary research should be done.

Reopen Incredible Characters WIki
Can we please reopen Incredible Characters Wiki? I never got a chance to edit it. MetalKnight96 (talk) 21:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid not. It was closed mainly due to the characters not exactly having a reception. So the toy reception wikis will be taking its place. Plus, I've seen requests like these multiple times, and demanding it to be re-opened will not get it re-opened, I'm afraid. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:33, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That makes it 5 users requesting reopening. How many users would it take for it to be reopened? Everyone on Miraheze? The administrators who have decided for the community what the community wants are acting in blatant violation of what Miraheze was set up to provide. ~ El Komodos Drago (talk to me) 13:58, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Slander on a Wiki clone
A user by the name of Attackofthecatpeople69 has created a clone of the UnAnything Wiki. (Their clone: unanything.miraheze.org ; the original unanything.fandom.com ) The home page of their fork initially contained slander against me specifically, as well as misleading claims about staff on Fandom. Though this section appears to have been partially removed (I had no involvement in it’s removal, whether it be directly or not) sections are still present. I know that the slander was directed at me because the exact same hate-rant was posted on their Deviantart page, in which my Fandom username is referenced. (https://www.deviantart.com/attackofthecatpeople/journal/WellFiredToast-follow-up-889007106)

I will prove that some of the slanderous claims from the original hate-rant on the home page are indeed false: the reason that their Fandom account was globally blocked was not only due to an abuse of user rights, using Javascript to do mass page vandalism, but also due to account sockpuppetry. (using the account KMFStudios to avoid a global block on the account KATMAKROFAN) They discovered that I had reported their account after viewing public discussions. Another claim is that I have “manipulated a Miraheze steward” which cannot be possible when I have not even contacted a Miraheze steward on this topic before. I do not know specifically how to disprove the other claims, but at least I have been able to successfully disprove these two.

Finally, I am hosting a vote on the original UnAnything to decide whether or not the fork/clone should be requested for removal, asI have been told that is the system for fork closure. (A link to this poll is here https://unanything.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000044527/r/4400000000000149567 )

Thankyou for your time. GNE0001 (talk) 06:45, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Standard procedure is that a 'clone' with proper attribution and does not violate our Content policy cannot be removed if the original source is another platform (like Fandom). However, the more slanderous claims are likely in violation of the linked policy and would likely result in them being contacted to remove it, at worst removal (though if they are compliant as far as taking out the nasty stuff, they may not be closed).
 * Personally though, the wiki doesn't seem to be operating in good faith. Though they've gone on a deletion spree, the content they deleted (with some rather suspicious edit summary removals) looks rather mean spirited. So I'd give this a chance to play out, and my personal apologies for what seems to be someone's immature and frankly rather salty use of our platform. I'm just speaking as a regular, not any official role (including Steward). --Raidarr (talk) 12:06, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * "Finally, I am hosting a vote on the original UnAnything to decide whether or not the fork/clone should be requested for removal, asI have been told that is the system for fork closure." I am unsure where this information has come from, but it is not correct. Forks are defined in the Content Policy as being "a direct fork of another Miraheze wiki where little to no attempts have been made to mediate situations on the existing wiki or existing community." Based on the link, you are claiming it is a fork of a Fandom wiki - which is allowed on our platform and does not breach the Content Policy simply for being a 'fork'. As such, any vote on an external platform to close a wiki on Miraheze for being a 'fork' would not be respected by Stewards as it is not a community vote on Miraheze that Stewards can assess and be held accountable for enacting. John (talk) 14:24, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that anything needs to be said further here. I will just note that you're referencing a Fandom wiki. When you create a Fandom wiki, you and your contributors license your content under the CreativeCommons license whereby, typically, your content may be reused, in whole or in part, with attribution to the source wiki. Improper attribution is a valid copyright complaint, but that's not what you're claiming. In any case, where infringement of CreativeCommons copyright licensing was reported to Stewards, we would work with the wiki to provide an appropriate level of attribution, not close a wiki on the first report where no attempt to remediate the problem was given. Based on your report, this seems like a two-party dispute. I would suggest the two of you resolve this through other means. Dmehus (talk) 23:39, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Cancel my rename request

 * ❌ per your request. To be honest, you're well known and established by this username here on Meta Wiki, so I'd recommend sticking with this account. You can also create additional accounts, with a recommendation to create them on Meta Wiki while logged in and to list them on a global user page or Meta user page for transparency reasons. This will help to ensure you abide by user accounts policy and not use your alternate accounts where your main account is blocked locally or otherwise restricted.

If so, Miraheze offers 2 types of global locks: a lock where your account is locked, renamed and hidden but is recoverable by the Stewards if in the future you'd like to restore the account or a lock where your account is renamed, hidden, and cannot be recovered ever again.

Why is the Rotten Websites Wiki closed all of a sudden?
The heading says that it's been closed because no one's edited the wiki in the last 60 days, but I am certain that there were edits as recent as yesterday.

This will ensure that local bureaucrats must either request a Steward to ensure any request for removal of this group is done in line with any community-established policies governing such removals or have a local discussion to duly delegate this authority to local bureaucrats, though on the point about the local permissions additions and removals, I noted a lack of any sort community-established process in this regard. Additionally, given the obvious lack of local community consultation with regard to the closure and the lack of any community-established process governing permissions additions or removals (looking at the respective Special:Log/rights logs on each wikis), it seems to have been done very ad hoc, often with wheel-warring occurring over rights additions and removals, which itself suggests a complete lack of community consultation, I don't feel it is appropriate for Stewards to restore any permissions. In any case, the most important role for Stewards has been done here, which is to reopen both wikis to allow one or more substantive community discussions to occur on the respective wikis discussing (a) the future of the wikis and, if the wikis are to continue to remain open, to discussing (b) the process by which the advanced permissions are granted or removed. Once those community consultative processes have concluded, please post a note here, ideally in a new thread and linking to this thread in some way, for Stewards to assess those local consensus processes and effect the community's desired outcomes. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 05:10, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Two wikis in our network got shutdown without any consensus.
So Rotten Websites Wiki and Fresh Websites Wiki got closed by one of our bureaucrats, claiming that "a lot of people wanted these wikis gone". However, there is no evidence of any sort of agreement or consensus among the other admins or the community about this decision. All the other bureaucrats got demoted from those wikis, so is it okay if one of you guys can give me bureaucrat and admin rights on those two wikis (I was a former bureaucrat on those wikis BTW) so I can undo the closing and demotions? Blazikeye535 (talk) 15:48, 25 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I definitely didn't agree to the closure of both of those wikis. There's some funny business going around here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:11, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This was done by a rogue admin who is being handled on other associated wikis as a preventative measure; on this wiki all other staff were apparently demoted including DMM ^. This issue needs to be investigated. It was done with zero support from the community, but more importantly it overruled other admins and bureaucrats, including the designated leaders. Thus it was a coup, and I believe fully in scope for the Stewards to interfere (I'd hope, at least). --Raidarr (talk) 16:33, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was demoted too. I'll see what Doug and Void have to say about this, considering this close was against community consensus. —<span style="color:red;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#f00,#c04);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#808,#40c);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#20d,#00f);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">456 16:45, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * So did I. BookFandumb1 (talk) 01:14, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This was wrong, especially since we have made a complete effort now to make a consensus. Sure, I wanted them gone too, but it came out of nowhere. At least when I wanted to close the character wikis, I wanted a discussion. TigerBlazer (talk) 21:05, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Literally nothing was wrong with the wikis. At least the character wikis somewhat had a reason, but the website wikis' closure were abrupt. DuchessTheSponge didn't even think about what other people thought, he just closed the wikis, like when he just removed Season 6 & 8 of SpongeBob SquarePants on Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, even though Season 6 and 8 were hated by many, just like he combined all seasons of the original Johnny Test onto Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, even though a lot of people considered the first three seasons to be good. I made a blog post about it, which didn't even bash him, and I got a two week block on TSEW. That's when I started to strongly dislike him. I'm glad he's demoted now. SleepParalysisDemon (talk) 21:20, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If there are no comments objecting to this, I will reopen both wikis by this time tomorrow. It is clear, by the messages currently left on this noticeboard, that the action taken was not and is not supported by the community or other administration of these wikis. -- Void  Whispers 21:36, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That's awesome. Yeah, DuchessTheSponge clearly didn't think this through at all, but as long as the demotions are restored, that's all that matters. I doubt there will be any objections, but they'll more than likely be weaker in comparison to the upcoming votes to re-open the wikis. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:50, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Can we also place the character wikis up for adoption given the half a dozen users that have complained here and on the CN about their closure and given that the discussion was:
 * Incredibly brief (less than a day)
 * Done without a site notice for most of that day
 * Done on a different wiki
 * I fully understand if the administrators wish to walk away from a wiki and want it disassociated from their other wikis. However, I don't think they should be able to dictate that what would be an entirely separate wiki on Miraheze should not exist especially given that the content policy has an explicit clause allowing for forks. ~ El Komodos Drago (talk to me) 19:34, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this should be taken up in a dedicated topic on the Qualitipedia hub once this issue with the website wikis is straightened out (one at a time). From what I can tell the top shot callers are willing to have a conversation, and the linked wiki is in a better position than before to have the conversation instead of throwing yet another QP topic onto Miraheze meta. --Raidarr (talk) 19:46, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

The wikis have been reopened to allow local community discussions to take place on each wiki discussing (a) the future of the wikis and (b) the process by which community members may request advanced permissions, or have them removed. Dmehus (talk) 05:20, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like Doug has reopened the wikis before I've been able to get around to it. I have now followed up by restoring permissions, as this state was the previous status quo. -- Void  Whispers 21:04, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Don't mean to sound impatient, but is there any updates on whether or not the wikis are going to be reopened or not? --Blazikeye535 (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't understand. Two wikis should be opened by yesterday but didn't happen, so are they really gonna be opened by either today, tomorrow, or so? Btw I already got plenty of more evidence/reasons coming up to expose People for "Ethical" Treatment of Animals for its article at Rotten Websites Wiki. Gjlewis (talk) 17:38, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey?
Where did the Rotten Websites and Fresh Websites Wikis go. Can they be reopened? Also DuchessTheSponge should have been blocked. The wikis has nothing that would warrant it's closure. MountWario (yell at me here) 22:43, 25 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, Void said he'd re-open the wikis by tomorrow, eventually. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:51, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

request of a mass purge of every single edit made by me
Hi, I'm the owner of the EijiZeBoi and TanjirosEarrings accounts. I'm making this thread to request the mass purging of all content I made using these accounts, from blog posts to talk pages, etc., especially on the Qualitipedia wikis. The reason is because I don't want my name to be associated with this wikifarm anymore due to its godawful reputation among outsiders. Thank you. EijiZeBoi (talk) 06:56, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. Unfortunately, this can't be done for the simple reason that we don't have any proof that you are indeed these two accounts. If we allowed such a request then anyone could claim they are X user and demand the same thing. As regards to the farm's reputation, Miraheze is not responsible for the content that the Reception wikis create so if people see Miraheze negatively because of them that is not correct. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 07:07, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Can you delete the NSFW and NSFL templates?
I think these need to be removed from the Reception Wikis because the page don't show any pornographic content, the templates clutter the pages, they get added to the pages for no reason, and they often cause other users to engage in edit wars, so I think it's time both of the pages were deleted from the Reception Wikis.

 * QP Meta. I confirm and concur that this subject has no place on the Stewards' noticeboard, and has nothing to do with global admins. I'm baffled why two local admins from the QP wikis would think otherwise. --Raidarr (talk) 20:25, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Technically, I thought these templates would apply with all wikis; not just Qualitipedia. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 20:44, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Please globally block Harry2003
He's been causing a lot of trouble on the Reception Wikis, such as spamming comments and topics, vandalizing pages, as well as sending death threats to another user on Best TV Shows Wiki, all of which got him blocked on a few Reception Wikis, including the games ones. He even promised not to do any of those things again, but broke his promise not to spam comments, and now he's pretty much crossed the line by writing off-topic comments and topics on a wiki that has nothing to do with the other. Plus, he's been blocked too many times and I even warned him not to cause anymore trouble ever again, but is still doing so, so his time on Qualitipedia is up. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 23:02, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

If you wish to engage on Miraheze, I would strongly suggest you e-mail stewards at, explain on what wiki(s) you intend to focus on (with a strong recommendation from me to avoid the type of wikis you've been gravitating toward and which has found you locked more times than I can count on my two hands and two feet), and whether you will focus on your own wiki.

User blocked at ATT for attempted SQL injection
User:Gani has just been permanently blocked at All The Tropes for (unsuccessfully) attempting to add SQL that would collect personally-identifying information without notification, which if it had worked would have been a violation of GDPR. This was the first edit that this user submitted to All The Tropes, so it was caught in the Moderation queue before being committed.

We see from CentralAuth that this user is an admin at two other Miraheze wikis. Robkelk (talk) 12:36, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will look into it. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:48, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * I just had the contents of the query passed to me by T&S and it is simply VoteNY's schema. The chance of an SQLi working is extremely low but in no way did this at any point attempt to violate GDPR or put users privacy at risk. Data wouldn't have been populated without enabling VoteNY and it's known and documented that it collects this information which we store appropiately.

A user called Greatestmoviesfan might be abusing multiple accounts.
A user on Awful Movies Wiki known as Greatestmoviesfan has another account called Greatestmoviesfan189 which has the same type of behavior and comments as his main account: https://awfulmovies.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=comments&user=Greatestmoviesfan189&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter= and because of this, I think Greatestmoviesfan created that account to evade his ban, which is obviously against Miraheze's rules, so I think he should blocked across all wikis.

But here's the thing I want to tell you: Once they reopen, they will no longer be associated with Qualitipedia. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 12:40, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Why will they not be associated with Qualitipedia? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:28, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The reason they will no longer be associated with Quailtipedia is because there will be no Qualitipedia admins, and instead, there will be a new team of admins running the wikis, which includes me, Shawn the Logo Boy. The wikis will still hold the same concept as the Qualitipedia Wikis, however. Oh, and nice to meet you, Blubabluba9990. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 19:41, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Can I be one of the admins too. I plan on creating another network of wikis, since I own Lousy Vehicles Wiki and co-own Lovable Vehicles Wiki, and I also have plans for reception wikis about stores, and Musicismylife has a bunch of other ideas for reception wikis. Both wikis do not have any Qualitipedia admins. I also own Absurd Shows & Episodes Wiki, a future part of The Weirdness Network, a network of wikis about weird media which has been temporarily put on hold due to my situation on Qualitipedia. I own two other wikis, The Wow House Wiki and The Fowl House Wiki, which discuss good episodes/characters and bad episodes/characters in The Loud House, respectively. Both of those wikis are independent, based on FANDOM versions (The Fowl House Wiki's FANDOM counterpart is closed), and do not follow the format of the Reception Wikis, instead being inspired by ScumBob Wiki and Anti-ScumBob Wiki.

 * Sure thing, Blubabluba9990! You can be an admin of the character wikis (LCW and ICW), and I'm sure you can help us out with both wikis. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 20:39, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * But here's the catch: I will only unblock you on the character wikis, and if you screw up even once, I will revoke your admin rights. Got it, Bluba? Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 16:24, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. Wait are you an admin now? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:08, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I am becoming an admin on both Loathsome Characters Wiki and Incredible Characters Wiki, and both you and I be part of the new team of the admins, so once they reopen, we need to cooperate with each other in order to keep both wikis running! Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 17:17, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Have you visited my other wikis yet. If you have knowledge about automobile reception I can promote you on the vehicle reception wikis. Musicismylife also has a few other ideas for future reception wikis not associated with Qualitipedia. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:27, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I haven't visited your other wikis yet, and I really don't have knowledge about automoblie reception. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 17:55, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. I do have other ideas about reception wikis. Perhaps my wikis can stay independent alongside the characters wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:00, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure. Your wikis can stay independent alongside the character wikis. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 18:41, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Also why specifically did you not want the characters wikis to be associated with Qualitipedia? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:03, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * These wikis were agreed to not remain part of QP so they could exist in some form, even if the dedicated QP administrators do not want to manage them. So, making them unassociated is the way they are able to survive. --Raidarr (talk) 10:45, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:07, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, shouldn't the stewards have noticed this by now. Kingjorbs (talk) 22:00, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The vote was improper, being called after less than a half dozen comments and before the (clearly numerous) oppositions or input were able to be made. So this is for sure in the cards, now that the Website wiki crisis is handled. --Raidarr (talk) Raidarr (talk) 16:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I hope we'll do the same for the Character Wikis crisis, which we need to handle. Shawn the Logo Boy (talk) 16:47, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:29, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm of two minds here. From my first mind, I'm not seeing where there was a discussion, ideally on-wiki though a public non-invitation only Discord server (or similar) discussion could be considered. Raidarr mentions that there was a vote or discussion somewhere, so if he could point me to that so I can assess its breadth, depth, and procedural validity, that'd be great. From my second mind, these two wikis in particular cause the most problems for Stewards in terms of Content Policy and user conduct issues. As a rebuttal to my second mind, there does seem to have been a clear surrendering of rights, so reopening these wikis would provide an opportunity to have a proper discussion in terms of providing guidance to the reconstituted wikis' local communities. Additionally, a subsequent discussion would need to be held prior to any rights being granted. In any case, until I know when, where, and under what circumstances local discussions (if any) were held, this can't be progressed. Dmehus (talk) 22:12, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Here is the discussion. Other discussions: . Mr. Jay 641 (talk) 22:31, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * In addition to above, there was a blog that was the spark for the character wiki's removal. It was unfortunately removed to leave no record, but I doubt that will stop the oversight of a Steward. Section "Can you please reopen 2 wikis?" below on the board offers as much case for recent discussion as there exists (mainly the same that I replied to). QP tends to operate through blog posts seeking inquiry, meaning there tend to be multiple blogs on a similar topic and a touch of confusion as far as aggregate opinion (especially since the discussions could not be held on the native wiki in question, instead in small part through CGW and through the QP meta linked above). --Raidarr (talk) 00:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Raidarr, for that, and, Mr. Jay 641, for the links you provided. What I'm particularly interested in is any discussion(s) as may exist on Qualitipedia Meta in terms of rationale for closure and breadth and depth of the discussion. Dmehus (talk) 01:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Aside from the assorted blogs (which is typically 'how things are done' with the strengths and weaknesses that come with it) there is not an organized discussion (talk page, StructuredDiscussions) to this effect, only the layered responses that lead to new blogs and culminating in a few users agreeing to lead and largely being given 'consent by default' from leading bureaucrats on QP. So the depth is about what is linked.
 * It was only closed by a few supports and the instinct decision of a bureaucrat after reviewing the (now deleted) original post, and incidental 'wait this isn't right' commentary has cropped up various times on CGW and QP meta ever since. The most substantive of these comments are linked by blog. There do exist assorted individual complaints that were raised in the meantime, by comments and I vaguely recall by very short lived SD posts. It's also worth noting that immediately after the closure, a number of regulars attempted to 'snowball' the issue with the effect of 'they were terrible anyways', likely in an effort to simply drop it and move on. Some of those users have since changed tune for the above linked blogs or otherwise let it go.
 * Perhaps to establish clarity for the future, issues of this gravity might be given a separate structure to vote and leave opinions (resembling how MH meta handles it or operating through the SD extension) if that would be more structurally compliant for what you're looking for. --Raidarr (talk) 08:22, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah. This now brings up the larger problem of the non-existent consensus on Qualitipedia, with the bureaucrats making all of the decisions, and even when consensus is brought up, it is done by one of the bureaucrats rather than a regular member of the community. That is a whole other problem, however, and goes deeper than the Characters Wikis crisis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If that's being done on the Qualitipedia wikis, we have all the policies and conventions we need here. It just needs to be addressed to Stewards, citing applicable evidence, and we can be asked to determine if there was consensus or revert to the status quo in absence of that. Dmehus (talk) 16:09, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. There is hardly ever consensus for anything though, and I am unsure if there was consensus to shut down the Characters wikis. Furthermore, the admins agreed that closing both wikis was a bad decision, and there is a lot of talk here on Steward's noticeboard about re-opening them. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:14, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This discussion and the ones mentioned cite various talk and qp meta discussion to reopen, and the rationale for closure is already noted as being faulty. --Raidarr (talk) 18:11, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:46, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Please can you unlock the wiki 'Radley Physics' rcpd.miraheze.org

Many thanks! Acn (talk) 09:58, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * If you're bureaucrat of the wiki, go to Special:ManageWiki/core and uncheck "Closed". This will reopen your wiki. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 13:34, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think I'm bureaucrat of the wiki (though if I can be made such that would be grand!) - I don't seem to be able to uncheck that 'Closed' box...! Acn (talk) 15:59, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are a member of the wiki and it was not manually closed by a wiki bureaucrat, you may add an entry at Requests for adoption. Otherwise unless there is additional context I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done on the Stewards' noticeboard. If the two stipulations don't apply (either of them), I'm afraid there is also not much we can do. --Raidarr (talk) 16:37, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Bring the loathsome character wiki back
I want to know why the LCW has permission error even I'm not log that website in. 119.172.110.92 10:24, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * This wiki was closed and made private by a local bureaucrat. The other bureaucrats have consented to letting a new core of admins take over, and they should make a request on this noticeboard soon. --Raidarr (talk) 16:42, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
