Remove inactive bureaucrat from AustraliaSim wiki
The current bureaucrat of AustraliaSim.miraheze.org is inactive. I want to work on the wiki and need admin permissions to achieve what I want to achieve. I cannot get these permissions as the bureaucrat is inactive and no longer apart of the community.

If he is removed, I request that I be appointed as replacement. (BHjr132)

my wiki, indytechfix.miraheze.org, seems to have disappeared completely.
There's no longer even any record of it in my contribution log. I'm in a bit of a panic. Thanks for looking into it! Indytechfix (talk) 14:32, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I am sorry to see that your Wiki has disappeared. I will take a look into it. The URL is giving an error 404. Maybe a steward could have accidentally deleted it for some reason? Pkbwcgs (talk) 14:58, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no log for the deletion of a Wiki. Maybe, it was deleted because it was closed and nobody requested your Wiki to be adopted. A steward could help out here but it was probably deleted due to your inactivity. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:06, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

I recall last editing it maybe a month ago. Kind of hard to prove with all of my contribution logs disappeared too. Is there any way a wiki deletion can be undone? Indytechfix (talk) 15:11, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * This is odd for two reasons. The first being that it was deleted on October 6th, in accordance with the Dormancy Policy, after having verified that there had been no edits in over 180 days. The second being that this is the third or fourth time that someone has reported this kind of error with a wiki deleted on the 6th. I am sorry, but unless you can supply us with a backup of the wiki yourself, our backups only extend to October 7th. -- Void  Whispers 15:35, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the only "backups" I have are a couple pages that I had printed out in hard copy. No digital backups of the wiki in any way.  I guess I'll just have to absorb this loss and do my own hosting going forward. Thanks for doing what you can. Indytechfix (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Cross-wiki spammer
45.76.178.197 has been cross-wiki spamming and may need a global block. See this IP's abuse log. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:41, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * ElmerMoberg494 has tripped the anti-spam filter twice and will also require a global lock. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:43, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * HiltonCard85178 has also tripped the anti-spam filter today and will need a global lock. It sounds like the usernames ending with numbers are spamming most of the time. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:45, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Fae136056620 has also tripped the anti-spam filter today and will need a global lock. Pkbwcgs (talk) 10:17, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your report. The users have been blocked/locked. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:54, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

What’s up with my wiki
I’ve been inactive for a long time. How come my wiki needs login to read? Can you ensure people can still read even when logged out? It’s meant to be a public wiki. And where did the “create account” button go? WHAT’s going on? •• User:Fair0002 • China Sucks! Xi Jinping Is Filthy 02:41, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * We are aware of this and are trying to fix the issue. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 02:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * What’s the issue? •• User:Fair0002 • China Sucks! Xi Jinping Is Filthy 02:40, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * From what I've seen, basically all the checkboxes in Special:ManageWikiPermissions/* became unticked. That's why MacFan4000 had to re-tick those checkboxes. Paladox created a maintenance script that repaired the damage. --Idris (talk) 03:10, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Here's a link to the official account. --Idris (talk) 18:11, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Abuse filter log
On the abuse filter log, User:Quality, User:Maacco, and User:Maac seemed to be the same person that intend to post advertising materials on User:Abbs page, I tried to tag the user page for deletion but has been triggered by the abuse filter, request for the check. SA 13 Bro (talk) 12:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I tagged User:Maacco for deletion. The thing is, you need to have more than 30 edits on Miraheze to edit another user's userpage. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:06, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, you only have 22 edits and if you have under 30 edits and attempt to edit another user's userpage, it will trigger the edit filter which is what happened in your case. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:12, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. :) I am aware that edit count, only the thing is they seemed to be the same spammer, request the CU to strike down the spammer maybe preferable. S</b>A</b> 1</b>3</b> B</b>r</b>o</b> (talk) 13:46, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and made them all disappear. -- Void  Whispers 14:29, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Block a vandal
On the Crappy Games Wiki, there is a vandal that keeps reverting my edits to revert the vandal back and then made personal attacks. The moderators are not active for now so can you ban him? (EDIT: this user, 185.215.54.187. This is my first time posting here) ChrisTheCat73 (talk) 19:36, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Never mind, a local admin already dealt with it. ChrisTheCat73 (talk) 19:51, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Comments can not be used
When trying to contribute to the extension "comment", "I do not have permission to post comments" is displayed and I can not post. why?--ウソつき (talk) 10:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't really understand what you mean, do you mean you're trying to use the Comments extension and it's not working? If so, which wiki? Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#ff0000">'C' ) 16:10, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Originally, "<comments voting = "Plus" />", its source code displays a form for posting comments, but a permission error is displayed and you can not post. I will paste the screenshot. That's like this. Please visit "" and check it

--ウソつき (talk) 08:06, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You may need to assign the permission comment to a usergroup using Special:ManageWikiPermissions. -- Void  Whispers 14:16, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Solved. Thanks for your advice.-- 20:54, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Cross-wiki spammer
110.244.219.54 has cross-wiki spammed and needs a global block. See for reference of the abuse filter log. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:11, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * 110.252.33.137 has also cross-wiki spammed and also needs a global block. See for reference to the abuse filter log. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:15, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Gone, thanks for the report. -- Void  Whispers 18:51, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

how to add a user in a custom usergroup?
I have created the usergroup "stablestateusers" for my wiki stablestate. how can I add a user into it?
 * Hi, you can add users to groups by visiting Special:UserRights on your wiki. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#ff0000">'C' ) 19:16, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, found it, thanks. But I cannot add user "Simon_at_swisscom" to stablestateusers. Why is this?
 * You also need to set the ability to add or remove that group for either bureaucrats or admins. -- Void  Whispers 21:50, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Spammer
Isme is a spam-only account and needs a global lock. See for reference to the abuse filter log. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:03, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Gone, along with several others. -- Void  Whispers 01:59, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Reference (Footnote) Popup
I would like activate reference popup. In Wikipedia, when I am hovering footnotes, popups of references is displayed. But in my wikisite Tanukipedia, popups of references is not displayed. (On the other hand, when I am hovering links, popups of preview is displayed.) In order to display Footnote popups, what should I do? --TANUKI (talk) 11:48, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Reference popups are done on Wikipedia using a gadget. Instructions as to how you may add this to your wiki may be done can be found here. Let me know if you have any difficulty. -- Void  Whispers 17:56, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Solved. Thank you very much. --TANUKI (talk) 23:51, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Villager2001X is harrassing Chaofun
Can you please global ban Villager2001X because he is harrassing Chaofun.

https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/wiki/Topic:Unnhs8m2kc4dj5aq


 * No one's getting blocked for making a YouTube video. Granted, I haven't bothered looking at the video, but if we upheld that kind standard, we'd end up blocking a lot more than just Villager. Personally, I'm more concerned at your behavior across several wikis, as you brought this up just about everywhere. This situation doesn't need that kind of drama. -- Void  Whispers 03:22, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
