 * Please try logging in from another wiki (ex. meta). You should also report this issue on Phabricator so that our SRE team can fix it.-- 17:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

I would like to adopt this wiki
https://crappysoftware.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Yes i know this wiki is still open however the only admin is inactive on Miraheze. Do i need to set up a poll? Just Amelia (talk) 11:28, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, yes you would need to have a poll/vote on the wiki and show that there is support for you to become administrator if there are other active users. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:29, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

CVT opt-out request
Opt-out of cvt action to s.miraheze.org

Reason: There is no consensus, but this wiki is private and only used for testing, so will not cause vandalism. Even if vandalism occurs, there is no major damage and there is no need to rush cleaning up.

Thanks, --そらたこ (talk) 17:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌ CVT members cannot take actions on private wikis by default, unless they are members of the wiki.-- 16:44, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

User talk:Zirukurt01
takes an inappropriate (insolent) tone in the first post to this user page, also vaguely implying he speaks for Miraheze staff. It might not reflect poorly on the farm, as the user trolls him right back and the two seem to know each other, but it seems like another PlavorSeol situation. 09:16 20-Mar-2020
 * Admins are aware of the situation and keeping a close eye. If it continues, we'll be looking at escalating warnings and action. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  16:21, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead and closed/blanked the discussion. I will leave a note at both users' talk pages. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  16:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Restore page lost after moving
Hello, the page https://nonciclopedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italia appears as non existing but has an history, and it's too big for me to delete and restore it. Would you please fix it? --Wedhro (talk) 15:18, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Anyone?--Wedhro (talk) 18:35, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Request to appoint new bureaucrat(s) in SideM Wiki
Hello there, as our only bureaucrat is no longer active and become unreachable, I want to request Mackenzietan and clay to be appointed as bureaucrats in SideM Wiki. Reason for choosing them is both of them are the admins that take care of the wiki during the inactive times. Thanks! (my user account there is here)

Horrible Music & Songs has only 1 admin and he's inactive
So, the wiki used to have admins, but all of them got demoted or just left and the only admin that's left is CHICHI7YT, and according to him, he is inactive. Leaving the wiki with no admins.

Can you all do something about this? Thanks. --Hendicted (talk) 17:33, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Username change request
Can you please change my username from RoundEarthSociety to General I80? Thank you.
 * You can change names via Special:GlobalRenameRequest --Hendicted (talk) 18:11, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Vandal Report
Good afternoon. All The Tropes just had a vandal using the handle User:AwYeah pop in and replace an unprotected image on our main page with a pornographic pic. We have of course banned him, but we're bringing him to the Stewards' attention for global banning on the grounds of a violation of Section 7 of the Miraheze Terms of Use. -- Looney Toons (talk) 20:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Locked for vandalism, but there is no evidence of a Terms of Use violation. John (talk) 21:33, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. -- Looney Toons (talk) 22:08, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Can you delete this inactive wiki?
So there is this wiki called horrid reception wiki where it is completely abandoned. The admins are inactive, nobody has edited anything and some of its other wikis are shut down completely. But there is this one user who is "contributing" to the wiki by just changing the names of the inactive users, and not creating pages or editng them. Not to mention that the wiki was very controversial and had a lot of flame wars and harassment. It's best to just delete the wiki. If its other wikis can be deleted, then so can this. Thank you.

The wiki: https://horridreceptionwikis.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Other wikis that were deleted, but were also in relations to the wiki: https://flawlessfandomusers.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page https://receptionflamewars.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

The user who does nothing but changes the names of users: https://horridreceptionwikis.miraheze.org/wiki/User:%E9%96%8B%E6%8B%93%E8%80%85
 * The user you mentioned is actually a steward, he just changes usernames via request. Also username renaming works like this that if you visit a wiki and request a name change, it shows up on the log. --Hendicted (talk) 07:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

but can you delete the wiki? if not is there a way for me to adopt it? btw im not an admin of the wiki, but i want to adopt it


 * To make things clear. First of all, Stewards are not only meant to "just change usernames" they have a much broader role which you can read about on the page that I linked. Secondly, the wiki that you mention is neither closed nor marked as inactive due to the recent renames that you mention. Lastly, since the wiki is marked as private you would not be able to adopt it anyway per the Dormancy Policy. And in regards to deletion, that will only be done once the time defined in the Dormancy Policy has passed, or if the wiki community would request it. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 17:23, 28 March 2020 (UTC) ok thank you

Database error; multiple wikis and accounts; unable to log in
I get the following error — Database error A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. [hex code] 2020-03-29 TIME: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError" — when I try to log into my private wikis, marwiki and nilamwikiubzx217c40wiki. Logging in has already failed many times over almost two hours for both of two Miraheze accounts I have, Drnslyng and Kualeyi522912. Both have at least the Administrator role on nilamwikiubzx217c40wiki and Drnslyng is at least an Administrator on marwiki. Unfortunately, I can't use Phabricator for this bug as I hadn't already linked an account to Phabricator and when I try to do so, the same error occurs.

Is there a way I can regain access? Thanks. — 138.75.123.25 03:48, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Morning, Is this still occuring? If so, could you copy the full error including what you’ve blanked as [hex code]? It’s that code that identifies the error in the logs. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  04:09, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't saved any error code, but there seems to be no problem now. In retrospect I realise it's a bit ridiculous to leave out the code, so sorry. - Drnslyng (talk) 04:34, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks on forward.
