Deletion of one of your wikis
Hi, I would like to tell you that I have deleted scumbobwiki, which you requested, because it turned out to be a duplicated request of another wiki requested earlier than yours. Please use it instead.-- 12:40, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Just FYI the sling on wiki already exist here --Cocopuff2018  03:44, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi DuchessTheSponge,

I noticed a couple relatively minor issues with your transcluded signature, now at User:DuchessTheSponge/sig, which are itemized in turn.


 * User signature file location. Per established social norms and customs on Meta, users' transcluded signature files are located typically as subpages of their own user space, not in Template: namespace. MrJaroslavik originally moved it to User:DuchessTheSponge/DuchessTheSponge as we weren't yet sure whether or not this template was for a userbox or a user signature. Now that you've signed several talk page, user talk page, or noticeboard posts with it, we know that it is, so I have kindly moved it to User:DuchessTheSponge/sig and updated the transclusions, purging the page caches on each page on which it was transcluded. Please go into your preferences, under the signature section, and update your signature to reference your signature file's new location
 * Talk page, user talk page, and noticeboard signature guidelines. Please remember to sign all talk page, user talk page, and noticeboard threads or posts with four tildes, not three tildes, to include a crucial timestamp for our bot. I've made the corrections for your recent posts, and manually added it for you
 * Upcoming signature rule changes with MediaWiki 1.35. When MediaWiki version 1.35 is publicly released as a production, stable build and deployed on Miraheze, Extension:DiscussionTools will be concurrently deployed, too. One of the consequences of that extension is that there will be changes to the signature rules, and your signature will now be required to include an internal wikilink to either (a) your user page or (b) your user talk page. A small number of Meta users will likely be impacted by this change, so I am proactively reaching out to users as on Meta as I see them, and your transcluded signature does not link to either. While it's fine now, you will need to update this once MediaWiki version 1.35 launches and is deployed on Miraheze, along with the DiscussionTools extension.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding either of the above. :)

Cheers,

Adoption of fanfiction.miraheze
Hi Freighttrain here, sorry I didn't contact you earlier about this, though there has been no harm done and do not worry this is not an attempt at takeover, I have adopted this wiki due to it's previous closure caused by inactivity, as well as my desire for there to be a place for people to be able to post their fanworks without the hassle that other wikis are known for.

Could you please reply to let me know of your stance on these recent happenings, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 11:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello again, could you please reply so that we can discuss the fanfiction.miraheze wiki, you are still listed as an administrator there and it doesn't feel right either just leaving it like that or altering your user status without having first received your standpoint on the matter, so could you please respond soon, thank you. Freighttrain (talk) 11:11, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This is very thoughtful that you have reached out to like this following your successful adoption. Hopefully they will be able to reply to you soon, either here, or on the local wiki. Dmehus (talk) 17:02, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes I was not able to contact DuchessTheSponge beforehand, as editing on that wiki was not possible because it had been closed due to inactivity, and I didn't think to try and find them here to let them know prior to this, but after my successful adoption of the fanfiction.miraheze wiki it did occur to me that they might be here, though I first contacted them on their local talk page there after it reopened, but it does seem they were recently active here so yes hopefully they will reply soon as the current arrangement feels awkward. Freighttrain (talk) 09:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the update. While I am okay with you modifying my comment above, I just thought I should give you a head's up that I do not believe Echo notifications work with MirahezeMagic interwiki wikilinks or even interwiki wikilinks at all. In effect, it just becomes a wikilink to one's user page on another wiki without the ping/Echo notification. In fact, I'll test this right now. Reception123, did you get this ping? Dmehus (talk) 12:16, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean by Echo notifications or ping, I only altered it so that it linked to my only userpage here at the time, but I just made a meta.miraheze userpage and changed back the notation at the beginning of your first message, as it now actually links to a userpage of mine. Freighttrain (talk) 16:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Echo notifications are when you get notified when your user rights are changed on a wiki, someone thanks you for an edit you made on a wiki, or someone mentions you on a page or in an edit summary or log action (i.e., bell and inbox icons). Most of the mentions in log actions, edit summaries, and pages take the form of the bell notifications, but I believe they're all Echo notifications. Dmehus (talk) 17:36, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * In that case I would ping DuchessTheSponge but I noticed you've already done so here. Freighttrain (talk) 19:03, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Adoption of fanfiction.miraheze
Hello again, Freighttrain here, again could you please reply regarding this because you are still listed as an administrator there, as the current arrangement feels awkward and doesn't feel right either just leaving it like that, or altering your user status without having first received communication from you on this matter, so could you please respond soon, thank you.

Can you help me on mywikipedia.miraheze
I could use more contributors to mywikpedia.miraheze.org. --Iron Sword 22 (talk) 18:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know about that. -- 07:45, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Here's the link. https://mywikipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page --Iron Sword 22 (talk) 19:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey DuchessTheSponge how come you replied to their message and not mine? Freighttrain (talk) 04:08, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Personally, I don't really care if you own one of my wikis now. 05:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, ok well it's just that at the User Rights screen my admin/bureaucrat account is unable to change your user rights as a bureaucrat on the fanfiction.miraheze wiki, I don't know if that is something that only you or a Miraheze admin can do, or if it means you are some kind of Miraheze bureaucrat with those user rights on all wikis. For now I'll just change your administrator user rights there to see what happens, as that option is not greyed out like the bureaucrat one.
 * Though if at some point in the future you do become interested in an active role on the fanfiction.miraheze wiki, let me know and I will add administrator to your user rights there. Freighttrain (talk) 06:11, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * If wishes to resign his   bit on that wiki, you can request a steward do this on stewards' noticeboard. Alternatively, if your wiki has established local inactivity policies, ideally established through a consensus process, stewards can engaged to remove the   bit from inactive bureaucrats in accordance with your local policy. Hope that helps.  Dmehus (talk) 14:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'll have a look at that noticeboard you mentioned since DuchessTheSponge has said they are not interested in the fanfiction.miraheze wiki. Freighttrain (talk) 17:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Batmanpedia
Hello! I've been on-and-off contributing to Batmanpedia, but the wiki is now locked. Could you unlock it for me so I can edit more? Thanks!
