Stewards' noticeboard

My request to the bureaucrat at Destruipedia
More than a week ago I created an election to become a bureaucrat at Destruipedia, so far there hasn't been a vote (neither for nor against) as you can see in this link: https://destruipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Destruip%C3%A9dia_Discuss%C3%A3o:Request_for_InternP%C3%A9dia_to_the_bureaucrat_of_Destruipedia However a Perola Maniaco user from Unmeta as you can see on the adoption request page of this wiki supports my promotion to bureaucrat as you can see by clicking the link below: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Requests_for_adoption#destruipedia.mirahezeze .org and until I post this message here on Stewards there has been no opposition to my promotion of this wiki to bureaucrat. I also intend to reform Destroipedia, as I said in the request thread this wiki will have humor articles different from those of Uncyclopedia and other humor wikis targeting more unusual funny subjects like funny names of citizens, establishments, localities, etc. . Hilarious news, cases and incidents and also about hacks, bizarre, among others but this is clear only if I'm approved as a bureaucrat of Destruipedia. I hope that it works out and that I can be promoted in this role so as not to leave this wiki abandoned and to be able to invest my projects in Destruipedia. Yours sincerely.InternoPédia (talk) 04:19, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * InternoPédia Thank you for your request for Stewards to assess your local election request. To advertise your local request more prominently, I've added a local sitenotice to the wiki, linking to your local election request. I will aim to revisit this local election assessment request in several days. Thank you Dmehus (talk) 07:32, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I thought it was just a question of creating an election on the wiki and waiting 7 days, I didn't know I had to send a message here and then you can put a slash on my request and the result of it; I've been waiting for almost 15 days to become a new bureaucrat at Destruipedia.
 * In these 7 more days that have passed, there has also been no opposition so much as no vote in favor (since the wiki has been completely abandoned) although a user with the nickname Perola Maniaco approves of my promotion to bureaucrat so far, you can check the link:https://destruipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Destruip%C3%A9dia_Discuss%C3%A3o:Request_for_InternP%C3%A9dia_to_the_bureaucrat_of_Destruipedia. Now it's in your hands to become a bureaucrat I'm waiting. InternoPédia (talk) 02:22, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * For future reference, I would suggest you use the  template to get the attention of any user you're replying to as they may not backscroll to see if there's been a reply to an old thread or may forget too. In any case, I myself have pinged Dmehus here so hopefully he will assess the consensus of that local election soon.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:57, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * InternoPédia, I will have ✅ your local election assessment request for tomorrow evening in my mental calendar, and aim to handle it then. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 05:07, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll take a look at your local election request tomorrow, with a view to completing it at that time. Dmehus (talk) 05:56, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will be waiting for the conclusion result. InternoPédia (talk) 17:54, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like to know if you have already started analyzing my request for a local election as you promised, as I am beginning to think that no one is wanting to approve me as a bureaucrat at Destruipedia, as I have not received any response so far and for this reason I came to charge and also ask if it's okay to promote me as a new bureaucrat at Destruipedia, what's going on? Is there something going on that I'm not aware of? If I wasn't approved, just say ok? Because I'm depending a lot on Destruipedia to create my articles. without also saying that it looks like I'm the only one going to be like Not Done in the red. Graciously InternoPédia (talk) 23:21, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'll assess your local request tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 08:21, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * InternoPédia, this has been ✅, as a successful election by acclamation, with no local policies prohibiting such elections. Please see my closing comments locally. As well, as you will currently be the only locally active administrator, you will not be able to patrol your own pre-existing edits, so if you'd like a Steward or Global Sysop to patrol your edits locally, please just ask. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 23:40, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm glad I finally became a bureaucrat around here! Many thanks to the following users for their approval,   and  for helping me, and  for supporting the application. Dmehus would like to respond to the request: https://destruipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Destruip%C3%A9dia_Discuss%C3%A3o:Request_for_InternP%C3%A9dia_to_the_bureaucrat_of_Destruipedia which ended as soon as I became a bureaucrat about communicating any decision I have on the wiki for other bureaucrats, I want to tell you that I am aware of this, but being the only active administrator will be difficult, as the three bureaucrats abandoned Destruipedia and I even went to their user (JPLSilva) in another humor wiki to warn about that (among other reasons) but he didn't even answer me and he deleted my message. So if you allow I will need more administrators and even all of you who helped me are invited to the position of bureaucrats and also Pérola Maniaco, AgentSai, YellowFrogger and Magogre because I am also interested in customizing Destruipedia which will continue with the name but I will want to change the slogan to something that has more to do with "Destruipedia" Yours sincerely. InternoPédia (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Has JPLSilva deleted your message? I did not know. He was the owner of the site and I thought he had forgotten about it and still reversed his edit? You're welcome. You can keep the site YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 19:46, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oops, it's barely delay to answer that after I became a bureaucrat at Destruipedia I was making some small changes there, but anyway. About JPLSilva being its owner I can say that he is one of the people responsible for transferring the Destruipedia that was previously hosted on FANDOM (where it was possibly created) to Miraheze I believe he would be just one of the bureaucrats because the Destruipedia was created by the user Farra13. JPLSilva lives more on Desciclopedia (Portuguese version of Uncyclopedia) and the guy is very annoying and at least virtually obnoxious and at least I believe he removed my message.
 * I also wanted to ask you about private wikis; Could you tell me how to give permission for logged in users to access its content and not just administrators and bureaucrats? Or is it just administrators and bureaucrats who have access to content and article pages and even logged in users can only access the wiki Home Page?
 * InternoPédia (talk) 22:02, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This Destruipedia is actually an old bankrupt wiki that was restored in FANDOM and then moved to Miraheze, according to this page from Desciclopédia. And on private wikis, non-members can only see the main page; the rest of the content is not visible. You will have to add as "member" in Special:UserRights/Example users who can see the content without being bureaucrat or admin (I think).

Election
Hi Stewards, we held an election on LGBallT wiki for new bureaucrats because there are no active admins. We left it open for 7 days and its been 7 days and the election is over. Here's a link to the election. Ballmedia (talk) 03:59, 27 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Agent Isai Is this a current independent poland ball wiki and, upon completion of this request, is it your attention to have a local discussion about the wiki joining the Ballmedia Central group of wikis by way of signing onto the Ballmedia charter? Alternatively, has such a local discussion (whether on-wiki, public Discord server, or similar public venue) already occurred? Dmehus (talk) 16:20, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This wiki will not be joining Ballmedia. Instead, it will simply be handed under the care of it and then once rebuilt, users from the previous wiki will have their rights restored and should they desire to join the network, then they can but otherwise, no, this wiki will not join Ballmedia. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:28, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. By "rights restored," what do you mean? Do you from the previous Fandom wiki, or were rights removed on Miraheze? I assume the existing bureaucrat/sysop would remain until they either (a) resign or (b) there is a substantive community discussion on the matter? Dmehus (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, the rights of all the previous administrators on the Fandom wiki would be restored upon their request. As for the existing bureaucrat and sysop, they would be kept unless they resign or a local discussion occurs. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:32, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll take a look at this election request tomorrow evening. Dmehus (talk) 05:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Ballmedia and Agent Isai, this has been ✅, as a successful local election, albeit with only one participant in the election being from the Ballmedia network of wikis. Please see my closing comments locally. Secondly, as a procedural, housekeeping question, can either of you confirm if my thinking that Ballmedia is a shared role account for the Ballmedia network of wikis and, if so, who is provided access to this account? I assume it's likely that Ballmedia Network Consuls and Network Director, which, I believe, is Agent Isai share access, but some confirmation of this would be appreciated. As well, as you will currently be the only locally active administrator, you will not be able to patrol your own pre-existing edits, so if you'd like a Steward or Global Sysop to patrol your edits locally, please just ask. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:06, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Global Lock Request
Recently, a user named DarthXiao has been blocked on many of the Qualitipedia wikis for wishing death upon groups of people, and has been sending some questionable messages to the user King Dice, with these screenshots she has sent me being proof of that. I think this is enough of an offense to warrant a global lock for DarthXiao, so I was wondering if the stewards could look into this. TigerBlazer (talk) 22:17, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Wait a minute!.. Unless the user is not on meta, remember to link their Miraheze meta-wiki page. TylerMagee (talk) 09:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Well they're reporting a user that's vandalising on other wikis so it makes sense that they link to that user's userpage on that wiki Anpang   Talk   Stuff  09:22, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Just in case it's necessary to have the user's Meta account linked, here it is: DarthXiao. <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,crimson,indigo, #ADD8E6); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Marxo Grouch (talk) 18:46, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That is a red link, possibly there is no miraheze meta-wiki user page for the user. Global user pages are hosted on Login Wiki. TylerMagee (talk) 15:27, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * For and ; the specific user page is not important except in presenting evidence. The name is used to a) review the account (for example, get a brief glimpse of the various contributions manually and see what the account does) and then b) take further action as necessary. For courtesy links I would suggest linking the user's CentralAuth, which in this case would be here. Though as long as the user in question is clear and the evidence is provided, a GS or Steward will have what they need to take action. If anything I would say specific diffs or other links to where activities took place to review for evidence would be most useful instead of screenshots. --Raidarr (talk) 17:47, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Are they continuing this among multiple wikis? From a quick view, I can't see anything public to support a lock besides the private messages that I am unable to review outside of the screenshots. If this is localised and now effectively prevented, I am tempted to leave it with the local block only. John (talk) 18:13, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * From what I know, he is only doing it on QP, as those are the only wikis he is registered on. He is also registered on Real Life Villains Wiki, but I'm unsure of his activity there. TigerBlazer (talk) 18:38, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy Policy exemption for a currently private wiki
I would like to apply for dormancy policy exemption for my currently private wiki.

For the following reasons:

1 - There is only so much I can take of going back and forth using wayback machine to retrieve the data, I need breaks. There was no xml dump (that I know of) and the way the publisher hosted it was extremely limiting, we editors didn't have the delete power at all nevermind administrator powers. The currently private wiki is a rebuild of a lost wiki (it was essentially deleted when the publisher lost rights to the game and failed to pass the wiki to new publisher) I am one of the original wiki editors and I absolutely despise that publisher for deleting 10+ years of work that the community put into that wiki, (I contributed about 7 years of work before I left when that publisher first took over, I knew they were bad due to disrespecting of experienced wiki editors). So I guess its essentially me taking it back and rebuilding it better.

2 - I'm an active gamer, every so often I find a slew of games that I'm interested in trying out. Recently there had been 3 in a row (one after the other, spending a few weeks in each one, which took up the time I would have otherwise spent on my wiki) this triggered the inactive warning which I then had to spend 10-15 mins searching how to get rid of it, time I rather spend editing when I'm back after playing.

3 - I have a burning hatred of the publisher that I blame for the loss of the wiki, I will eventually have it back to its former glory, once there I will most likely make it publically viewable but not editable unless by admins. I do not want to lose the wiki again. Mystic (talk) 20:58, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Could I get a reply? If the information above is insufficient, please contact me on Discord (preferred way of contact) Thanks. Mystic (talk) 23:14, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Could I please adopt these wikis?
I made a request to adopt Worst TV Networks Wiki on August 16, 2020. 2 months and 2 days later, I finally received a reply from Dmehus and they reopened the wiki. Despite the request not being finished, the request was archived. As a result, I tried to request the rights on requests for adoption, although my request was (unsurprisingly) denied. In addition, I also tried to adopt an open wiki, Horrible Companies Wiki by starting a discussion on the main page's talk page. I am aware that I am not very active on HCW but it is because there is not a lot of content. FatBurn0000 (talk) 07:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I took the liberty of denying the reopened request authoritatively as a user because it was attempting to use the normal adoption process for an already open wiki. Unfortunately (and I know this happened suddenly), the process changed from what you know.
 * For the past few years, rights were not supposed to be given through adoption, but due to someone slipping language into the policy early on they were. This was corrected by John, after which the process became far simpler - the requests for adoption process is to only reopen the wiki, and if you want rights, you need to open a local election to request them. Therefore, the terms of your previous request became invalid and could not be filled through RfA. The ongoing request for comment seeks to address this confusing language (among other topics) as 'adoption' is no longer appropriate.
 * I am not a Steward, therefore I only provide input based on my understanding of conventions and policy. That said, your request on HCW is is okay, though it could do more to advertise and open itself to input with a conventional election layout. However, since the main page is protected, you couldn't do a site notice, and the last substantive edits were back in July by the founder with only minor edits in August by Bluba, largest being this page (per the expanded recent changes page), I would say you've had the lion's share of concern for the wiki since then. I think with all things considered including my experience of your interest in reception wikis, granting you rights has a good case here. But that will be the call of a Steward. In any case, my apologies for the confusion of the process so far. With an unlocked main page, I think you have a shot at a more complete local election on Worst TV Networks. --Raidarr (talk) 11:43, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The "your request" link is broken, just reminding Anpang   Talk   Stuff  12:34, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Corrected. Fun bit of history though.--Raidarr (talk) 12:49, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like to point out that if you are not to active on the other wiki you have adopted, than I do not really see the point in having another one that you could very well not use often either. Just a bit of input I would like to address. TigerBlazer (talk) 15:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The reason why I'm not very active on the wiki is because it doesn't have a lot of content. I am hoping to find a way to import all negative pages about companies that make more than one type of media on Qualitipedia wikis there with all revisions copied, because if they make more than one type of media, we cannot decide which wiki they go on. FatBurn0000 (talk) 20:45, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, could a steward please remove the moderation on Good Software Wiki? There's no need for moderation, and there's so many edits that need to be made. FatBurn0000 (talk) 10:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for 2 accounts involved:


I suspect that these 2 accounts are sockpuppets of Quarrow for one of 2 reasons that I will further explain here: Spongebobfan41422 has directly removed content from this page, and just like with Duchess7he5ponge, the user in question has also messed up and/or replaced content on this page with nonsense or otherwise unconstructive edits. As for CallOfDutyIsGreat, they've replaced the BrainPOP! name with the name, Call of Duty, which had nothing to do with the article (and is also a video game franchise), which the vandalism is consistent with Commando is Going!, and QuarrowInTheRisk (another confirmed duck sockpuppet of Quarrow). Additionally, while AVXUser is considered stale, given that it's locked for being a confirmed sockpuppet of Quarrow, the user's vandalism here is also consistent with the above pointers. Therefore, a CheckUser is needed if they are indeed related or not. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:16, 10 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Talk to the account(s) owner(s) specifically. Nobody likes to receive a check, even if the user has committed vandalism. only if he doesn't care <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 21:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, but that's the problem. Checks against users are necessary with the amount of sufficient evidence, like the ones I listed here. Your dismissive tone of asking me to "talk to the account(s) owner(s)" does not help matters here. The referenced master account in this case is locked, but behavioral (or technical) evidence could be useful. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:59, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Understood your point of view. If he's no longer active, instead a vandalizing user, he won't even know (even if he did) won't even call to verify his account. Most users who vandalize don't care about the wiki that vandalizes. <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 22:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for understanding that, but I'd like you give this article a good read. Even if the master account is stale, sometimes, you might just find the same IPs that they may use to go around a block or global lock. They may use proxies or other underlying IP addresses to pick up where they left off. A good piece of advice from a wiki creator such as . CheckUsers are here for the purpose of fighting vandalism, spambots, sockpuppetry and determine whether or not the user(s) in question has sent an email using the MediaWiki email feature. Hope that helps. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:39, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅ (of those you identified at the top of this thread), in accordance with user accounts policy (as well as for the crosswiki vandalism Reception123 identified previously). With regard to the other one, can you please identify specifically how this user is likely related to Quarrow? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:53, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, not a problem. As for Spongebobfan41422, he, along with another locked Quarrow sockpuppet account have frequented on this page, constantly vandalizing pages like this. Not sure if this is sufficient enough to warrant another check for comparison, but yes, previous Quarrow sockpuppets have targeted this page which happens to be ROBLOX-related stuff. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:04, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hold on, I knew I was also missing something as well: This user also vandalized this page on ROBLOX, appearing to overlap with Elsagate and AGWQuarrow's vandalism on the same page too. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:10, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 Thanks. I've seen that. While it's vandalism, perhaps soft-ish vandalism except for the page blanking which is definitely blatant vandalism, the edits are not really anything like Quarrow's (and socks)'), as far as I can tell. So it seems that particular page is attracting vandalism from two likely different users. They may well be the same user, but I wouldn't know that and the behavioural evidence is not sufficient, in my view, to warrant a check of Spongebobfan41422. Thus, all I can suggest is, firstly, that you provide a local warning to Spongebobfan41422, leaving their user talk page open for appeal, and advise them against creating further accounts, per user accounts policy, to evade their local blocks. Secondarily, as a recommendation, given the persistent vandalism by apparently multiple people, I'd suggest locally protecting the page at either  or , at least for between 1-3 months or so.

Removal of Southparkfan's bureaucrat rights on Meta (Steward reuqest)
I've spoken to Southparkfan via IRC and he has indicated that he no longer wishes to hold administrator and bureaucrat rights on Meta.

I requested adoption for the  which was closed under the Dormancy Policy. The request itself was marked as ✅ (trust me, John marked it as that), but I require local bureaucrat permissions on the wiki. It is advertised on the main page which has no protection, but it needs to be moved onto MediaWiki:Sitenotice. I cannot edit that page though, as the MediaWiki namespace is only editable by interface administrators on the wiki. TylerMagee (talk) 17:36, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Accounts with bad usernames get a block after some period of time. I had an alt account with a username policy invalid name, Mirahexe, and I just requested for it to be changed and unblocked. So Tyler's probably correct here?

 * In my view, "Wikimedia" would indeed probably not be a username that we'd want to have on here as it's the name of an organization and I'm quite certain that the user isn't affiliated with it. However, in every case other than bad faith/clear vandalism the policy states that accounts should be " warned, linked to this policy and invited to change their username" and not directly locked, so the request to lock now is . I additionally ask TylerMagee to not issue warnings under this policy and to leave that to CVT members. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:06, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Removal of Inactive wiki creators
In accordance with the policy I am requesting that a Steward removes the following creators for inactivity:
 * CircleyDoesExtracter - last Meta edit on 10 September 2021 - Considered as a de facto resignation as the profile indicates "I'm not active. That's all."
 * Integer - last Meta edit on 16 August 2021 - last wiki creation 12 February 2021 - last global edit (as far as what my investigations indicate) August 2021 DeeM28 (talk) 09:08, 17 December 2021 (UTC)


 * DeeM28, thank you for your request for removal of two wiki creators in accordance with the inactivity clause of the policy. For CircleyDoesExtracter, this has been ✅. I hadn't yet looked into that user's global edits. For Integer, as the user some recent edits on  as well as one log action on , reopening their wiki of all things. Critically, though, their last wiki request handled (whether approved, declined, or otherwise) was 3 March 2021. The Code of Conduct does remind users to step down gracefully where they are not able to commit to a reasonable level of activity required of them. That raises an interesting procedural question, though, in terms of whether the Code of Conduct can supplement the inactivity clause of the Wiki creators policy. Potentially, though that's not necessarily and personally not a view I'd hold, as there are other elements of the respective policies that would otherwise come into conflict with that. Additionally, in such cases, each revocation and/or inactivity clause for Meta Wiki and global permissions policies advise the community to remember that Miraheze is volunteer-run, and volunteer commitments can vary, sometimes wildly. In short, the Code of Conduct is a rather blunt tool. As such, I've instead ✅ to Integer via their user talk page, in accordance with the Code of Conduct and, indeed, other provisions of the wiki creator policy in order to ask them whether they wish to (a) continue assisting with managing the wiki request backlog or (b) whether they wish to resign/step down gracefully, where they're not able to do so. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:50, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Global IP Block Exemption Request
I would like to have this user right given, as I would like to keep my privacy when web browsing. I do not like the fact that the government can spy on things you do, so that is one of my main reasons that I am starting to use the TOR browser. -- Cheers, Bukkit ( Talk • All Contribs ) 21:33, 17 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Bukkit, thank you for your request for a global IP block exemption. However, please note a couple things whereby you should not need such an exemption. For one thing, most of our global IP blocks are soft blocks, which have no effect on registered users editing. For another thing, the TorBlock extension includes the  user right is assigned to the   group by default on all newly created wikis. To the best of my knowledge, that's actually always been the case. Accordingly, I'm inclined to mark this as not done. Dmehus (talk) 21:01, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Bukkit, thank you for your reply. You've articulated a reasonable need. Not a great need, but an at least somewhat reasonable one. Still, I do have concerns given the number of global renames you've requested and alternate accounts you've created, it becomes very difficult to keep track of which accounts are you and which are not. My preference would be grant you a local IP block exemption on Meta Wiki, but such group does not exist, and my preference would be there to be a local Meta Wiki RfC to establish this group on terms similar to the global policy except that it would be granted either (a) Meta administrators or (b) Stewards via respective requests at Administrators' noticeboard and Stewards' noticeboard. Nevertheless, if you'll confirm that you do not intend to request further global renames (you're well established as Bukkit now, I think) and to fully disclose all of your alternate accounts on your global user page, I'd be okay with granting you this permission, but only to your main account and, ideally, only until such local   group exists. How does that sound? Dmehus (talk) 00:45, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Wiki creation
Hello, I recently made a request a few hours ago and I'm patiently waiting for a steward to open it for me. I don't mind the wait but could you please maybe take the time to open the wiki for me? Please reach out to me whenever you can. Thanks! FineLime (talk) 08:26, 18 December 2021 (UTC)


 * You will need to wait a bit more I think. I'll ping the wiki creators.

 * For the record, this process is typically managed by the wiki creators; while a Steward can be a Wiki Creator, they typically do not manage the requests in a Steward capacity.
 * While the description was extremely light, we offer a level of discretion for wikis that are 'private' in focus. If a private wiki would be a better fit (since what you have is currently marked public), please update the request to indicate so; and either way, for a stronger(especially public) request we would like to hear more about the content matter the company deals with, and what sorts of pages you might use to explore it. This should also be placed the updated request, so it is back in 'the pool' and a wiki creator can review it again. My availability is not good at this time of day, so another will likely follow up before I am available again.
 * My apologies for the wait and inconvenience; as a majority of wiki creators are rarely available in these hours and earlier. For other reviewer's edification, the request is here. --Raidarr (talk) 09:17, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * FineLime, this looks to have been ✅ already. I concur with the wiki creator assessment to conditionally approve this wiki as a private wiki. What this means is you should either (a) temporarily grant a wiki creator the  permission on your wiki or (b) request a Steward to visit your wiki and assess it for the purposes of defining a clear enough purpose and scope and whether the content on the wiki complies with Content Policy, should you later desire to make your wiki public. Once that's been assessed, the original wiki request can be amended to update the wiki's purpose and articulate a clear purpose and scope (via the "request comments" feature). Thanks.

 * Addie, are you wanting to have your account globally locked that you can potentially recover later, should you wish to return, provided you either (a) remember your current password or (b) have a valid, confirmed e-mail address on file? Or, are you wanting to have your account locked and anonymized in such a way so it can not be recovered? The account will not be deleted in either case, but in either case, we can either (a) first vanish you by renaming your account, whilst retaining private credentials that allow you to potentially recover your account in the future or (b) anonymize your account by renaming your account, stripping your account of any private confidentials (this is irreversible).

I'd like request for a Global Block
Excuse me, I'd like request for a Global Block on Special:CentralAuth/Kamura-akira, who are for vandalism at fancydiet.miraheze.org. Thanks. 閲覧者 (talk) 14:17, 21 December 2021 (UTC)


 * 閲覧者, firstly, a global block refers only to IP addresses/IP address ranges, so I believe you meant a global lock. In terms of your request, that's definitely blatant vandalism, but they're locally blocked on that wiki. On the other hand, their only other contributions are to, which has recently been reported to Stewards as being a confusingly similar wiki subdomain to another wiki. I will need to take a closer look at that wiki and the user's activity on that wiki, to see whether it's sole purpose is to cause problems for other wikis or otherwise violates Content Policy. As well, I'd look at the user's conduct on that wiki, too. So, in short, I'm placing this  for further review this evening. Dmehus (talk) 14:33, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

The Qualitipedia blocking problem
As you may know, Qualitipedia has a habit of blocking users for minor offenses, often indefinitely, and blocking users across wikis, even wikis in which they have done nothing wrong or never even contributed to. In addition, it isn't possible to communicate with admins as most of the Qualitipedia admins are not active here on Meta. Also, many of the block summaries do not even describe what the user did. It is time that Stewards try to intervene, since this is a situation that has not only affected me but other users as well. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:59, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If I wasn't welcome on a certain wiki I would consider leaving (I'm not welcome by the community there, what do I do?). Anyway, if this were the only wiki I'm interested in contributing to, I would appeal to the site owner by sending an email without having to open the RfC (send via gmail, etc.). Your case is very similar to the other one here. Users are usually blocked like this on Qualitipedia (not generalizing, there is good content there). I also didn't understand much with your blocking, you don't have many reversed edits per your Special:Contributions and got blocked for wasting "second chance" second this user here in the summary. Even so, a future new admin will perhaps think of your case <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 20:13, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Worth noting for the record that DMM is the duly elected top leader of QP, and semantically 'first among equals'. That said, this is one of the various cases I would want to look at early on pending current leader review of the aforementioned 'admin request'. Of course, it would be out of any local hands if the presiding Stewards feel the need to address it personally. --Raidarr (talk) 21:00, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure where any of the existing bureaucrats/sysops on the Qualitipedia wikis were "duly elected," as the historical practice has been whether a bureaucrat "likes you," so it's very much been an autocratic system, though that is starting to change with their move toward using Requests for Comments. Regarding your statement that you intend to look into this regarding your aforementioned "admin request," are you referring to your Global Sysop request, which I will aim to close some time tonight or tomorrow, or your Qualitipedia wikis' bureaucrat request? If the former, that's not really within the mandate of Global Sysops. In theory, any uninvolved member of the local or global community could engage with a local community as a facilitator/mediator in a form of dispute resolution, provided all parties agreed to the mediation. So it's not really related to the Global Sysop role. It is related to the Steward role, but, on the other hand, it could be useful if someone other than a Steward, attempted some form of mediation, so this can be added the list of local resolution and global community mediation steps that had taken place if the local community feels it's at an impasse and more formal mediation/binding arbitration is warranted. In short, anyone, including Global Sysops (though it's not specific to that role), can engage with a local community in requested, less formal and non-binding mediation, whereas it would be Stewards that would engage in the former as well as more formal mediation and binding arbitration. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 12:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I apologize for the lack of clarity and will address this sequentially.
 * It is true in practice that QP has always been an oligarchic entity, and really, my local request is as democratic a way to do it as the wikis ever have been to appointing 'top management', often replacing a retiring user with someone seen as good enough by other managers from the time. In this case I very clearly remember that there was a blog presenting a vote, in which multiple users were presented to be the top leader subsequent to the leader of the time getting into quite a lot of issues and temporarily resigning from management altogether. Unfortunately I believe this was done on Crappy Games Wiki, which was still used as the 'meta wiki' for reception wiki business at the time in most cases, and QP central was only just founded. I'm also afraid it may have been deleted when a number of admins after the fact removed everything pertaining to the controversy, and so along with poor memory regarding the possible/probable title, I'm afraid I cannot show the post. It's only been something I knew and not something I've linked, so now that you've called it and I cannot locate the evidence I'll have to correct that statement. I can only say that DMM is indeed colloquially recognized as the top authority (leader), with Blazikeye as deputy - co-leader, the position I am running for as well that carries implications on top of the usual understanding of 'bureaucrat', which I'm afraid is also only really defined by convention.
 * Indeed I mean the latter capacity of Qualitipedia bureaucrat, which I apologize again for being ambiguous on. The Global Sysop capacity is indeed unrelated to how I would address the topic locally, where the local rights would trump any global ones in conflict resolution (since both GS and Stewards should not have to intervene with local administration resolving the issues themselves in the first place. In the leadership capacity I intend to address the perceived apathy of the current top leadership by being a top leader who facilitates and addresses the issue from an authoritative position, something which is currently exceedingly difficult if there are problems reaching said leadership in the first place.
 * I hope this makes things somewhat more clear. --Raidarr (talk) 14:58, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Blubabluba9990, thank you for your request. I concur with YellowFrogger's assessment of your most recent  block log log entry that the notion of someone having permanently blown their "last chance" or "second chance" is (more than) a bit ridiculous. Some of your blocks have been legitimate, in which you demonstrated competency issues in terms of your making bold changes without first discussing them, but in this case, looking through your local contributions to the wiki, I'm not seeing where you made any edits or log actions since DarkMatterMan4500 unblocked you more than a week ago. So, what we have here is unexplained wheel warring. That being said, I'm not personally seeing a need for Steward intervention here, at this stage. I have, however, reached out to Blazikeye535 on their user talk page and asked them, specifically, why you were blocked on that wiki to which you'd not contributed since your previous unblock and reminded them of the Code of Conduct. Dmehus (talk) 13:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That is a huge problem (blocking users from wikis they never contributed on), I was blocked from the Delightful Songs & Music Wiki, Cancelled Movies Wiki, Magnificent Literature Wiki, and the Dreadful Books Wiki. That's the thing. MarioBobFan (talk) 03:41, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That isn't the only wiki I am blocked on. The wiki where this happened was Qualitipedia Meta, and nothing bad happened on any of the other wikis. My good contributions also outweigh the bad on the wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:19, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I intend to review your block in the coming days in my new capacity on Qualitipedia. Note that the IP blocks are by extension of normal block, and it only matters if you are trying to edit in another/without an account, which circumvents the point of the original block and will not be changed while the original account block is in place. --Raidarr (talk) 16:18, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

There's nothing I can work with when you are not cooperative, and likewise it is not the Stewards job to make it so for you. --Raidarr (talk) 11:23, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

I originally made a blog requesting to be demoted, but other admins ignored that request for no reason, so I thought I'd ask to get demoted from those wikis on this noticeboard instead, and hopefully, other admins can get my attention. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 00:08, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello. What does it mean to be "demoted". Do you want to be blocked? --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 00:44, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It is highly recommendable you resolve this issue locally before escalating it to a level of global intervention as Stewards generally defer action to local administrators. Please leave a message on the talk pages of your local bureaucrats or feel free to them here or leave them a message on their Miraheze Meta talk page.

 * Consider it done. I'll gladly honor your request. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:56, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have ✅ both actions. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:01, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Delete these wikis
Hello. I want to request the deletion of the following wikis: https://svonibus.miraheze.org/wiki/ and https://esonibus.miraheze.org/wiki/; these projects at the beginning were meant to be a stumbling block in another language than the traditional Ônibus Wiki (they even had interwiki tables in them), therefore due to lack of time, and not need (especially due to RfC recent on dormancy policy exception) I came here to request your deletion. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 00:49, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * YellowFrogger, ✅ (#1 and #2), per your request; however, I'm not really sure how the closure of the most recent RfC amending Dormancy Policy had any effect on whether you wish to continue these wikis. You could've still applied for an exemption on these wikis, of up to two years, and you did, but there was just no content / such minimal content on the wiki that an exemption wasn't justified at this point in time. Nevertheless, have you considered making  a multilingual wiki using the Translate extension, perhaps? Dmehus (talk) 03:05, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Yes I'm using the Translate extension although I'm not that good at it yet. The downside is that you keep creating alternative pages, etc. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 17:31, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Three accounts that I suspect of being linked.

 * Jhb
 * Niij
 * Bsh

Here is some context for my hunch. The first user, Jhb, was blocked indefinitely for making this disgusting comment. The next day, the second user, Niij, showed up and made an eerily similar comment to the one Jhb made. Having seen the comment that got the first user banned, I decided to question the user on whether they were the first user or not.

Now here's where things get even more suspicious. Not long afterward, the third account, Bsh, appeared to clarify that they were imitating The Angry Video Game Nerd. What made this come off as a confession of guilt to me was that the user was writing in the first person as if they were the one who wrote that comment. Combined with the fact that all three accounts have similar usernames and were made not too far apart from each other according to the CentralAuth pages I linked above, I highly suspect that these three accounts are one and the same. However, I cannot be completely certain of this, which is why I am asking the stewards to look into this to determine their relation. <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,crimson,indigo, #ADD8E6); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Marxo Grouch (talk) 17:21, 24 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I get the feeling that you may have witnessed Jabgidge doing his usual trolling in the comments section on pages relating to The Loud House. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:26, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Jabgidge also wrote nasty and inappropriate stuff about The Loud House, from these hidden logs on the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, which is only accessible by sysops and/or bureaucrats or by a Steward either way. Jeudb, his sockpuppet has done the very same thing. I am listing these in case asks for some type of reference. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:32, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I may use this as a means of identifying any future Jabgidge socks, that is if these accounts are in fact related to Jabgidge. <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,crimson,indigo, #ADD8E6); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Marxo Grouch (talk) 17:53, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * A CheckUser check here wouldn't hurt as all the listed users have vandalized --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 23:53, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Marxo Grouch, thank you for your report, and for providing both context and contextually relevant evidence in your report. This has now been ✅, with Jhb and Bsh being locked as illegitimate sockpuppets of Jabgidge. While the behavioural evidence from Niij is somewhat similar, and they may well be a sockpuppet, it's at this point. It's also possible, and perhaps more likely, they're a different sock of someone else...there was a user on Meta Wiki that was locked/blocked long ago for vandalism that referenced "Lynn and Lana," but I can't recall the user's username. If you or DarkMatterMan4500 can dig that up for me, that'd possibly be quite helpful. As to a current lock for other reasons, it's like two offensive comments on a single wiki, so it's not a vandalism only account. One potential thought for you to consider, you might want to unblock Niij on   locally, providing them a local warning as to the wiki's rules, and see whether they (a) contain in the same vein, thereby providing further contextually relevant evidence for consideration or (b) improve their behaviour and behave constructively. Dmehus (talk) 19:08, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have unblocked Niiij. Oh, and speaking of Lynn and Lana, is the user you're referring to happen to be this user, Ihatelynnloudjr2? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:17, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500, ✅ re: the former. Regarding the latter, ah, that user. Possibly one of their socks, but if I am remembering correctly, the user in question vandalized a Meta user talk page or a Loginwiki user talk page, or some other talk page on either, that referenced "Lynn and Lana" and "asses." So, not specifically the one I was thinking of. If our search functionality was better, I might be able to find it, but if you want to look through the block list, excluding IP blocks, of course, you might find something as I'm sure the user was locally blocked.
