Close wiki request
Hi. I want to close this wiki, the Roblox Rise of Nations wiki, as it is unofficial, is clearly a copycat of the real Roblox Rise of Nations wiki on FANDOM, and is currently run by RealKnockout, a former bureaucrat that is banned on our wiki for several reasons. Most of the pages are copied word for word (even some of the code is not working), and the Miraheze wiki was created on May 2021, but the FANDOM wiki was created around September 2019. Many of our staff, including the current bureaucrat of the fandom wiki, ZackRON00, gave me approval to write this message, and you can ask them for more questions. Thank you and have a nice day. TheRichSeries (talk) 17:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * First of all, the wiki has had the pages imported correctly from the Fandom version, correctly linking to the source wiki which, in turn, links to the source wiki's contributors. If I'm being honest, it sounds like you might be active on the Fandom wiki and disappointed the wiki has been forked on Miraheze. I would also remind you of Code of Conduct in your references to other users. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is correct. Although ZackRON00 created the wiki, RealKnockout now controls it and its content, and we want it taken down because Zack has abandoned this project, and it has ended up in the his hands, without our permission. We're now focusing on building the main wiki over on FANDOM. Thank you. TheRichSeries (talk) 18:40, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I find it strange how you're reporting that wiki, considering how a user was created for the purpose of attacking that individual. This makes me think that there's something sketchy going on here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, Rabby here, I'm also an administrator at the FANDOM wiki. And well we have no affiliation with that account from last time we checked, it's probably one member of our community going to attack him, we don't really want to do that. We just want the wiki shut down. Rabby (talk) 18:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Alrighty I logged in. Rabby (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * As long as it's not on FANDOM, there's really nothing else that could or needs to be done here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by nothing can be done? They are literally stealing the articles from the FANDOM wiki.
 * From what we've seen Realknockout just wants to steal the wiki and optimize it for Miraheze later. There is LITERALLY a user that has 1 edit saying, "Port from Fandom, will optimize for miraheze later", and on top of that they have a bunch of broken code in some user pages. You know why? Well, the source is just a port from fandom... Surely this breaks something here. Rabby (talk) 19:27, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * On top of this we already have a wiki backup on miraheze incase something goes wrong, we never gave permission for another backup. Shouldn't there be a rule against stealing wiki's from other wiki farms? Rabby (talk) 19:29, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What Copyright is the wiki under? The vast majority is under CC BY-SA, and the wiki is under that license so it depends on what license the Fandom is under ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 21:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The fandom wiki appears to also be CC-BY-SA. — Arcversin (talk) 22:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns, but they are not doing anything wrong. They are following the legal mumbo jumbo that the license has. No action would be taken unless they are not sourcing the wiki, which is a violation of the CC-BY-SA license. Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 23:23, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * True, there is a staff (creator I think) of the wiki named RealKnockout. Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 22:28, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thus making this request pretty much demoralizing what is fair use, and what's not. That's just my take on this section, considering this very fact that the wiki that and  are mentioning falls under that same license, meaning it's not violating anything of the sort. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @Bukkit I had a talk with Fandom staff and we did notice that the copy Miraheze wiki hasn't credited the original in any article from what I've noticed.
 * They replaced the Fandom's version of the wiki discord server with theirs, and so on and so on. Rabby (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * They basically have no attributions. Rabby (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

This definitely won't resolve anything considering that both the FANDOM and Miraheze versions appear to be running under the CC BY-SA copyright. This is going to be marked as by an administrator if the argument doesn't cease. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:18, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Could somebody please just end this already? The direction this is heading is disaster, and I don't want this to perpetuate into some type of drama war. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Did you delete my replies? I talked with Fandom staff about this and we noticed that the other wiki [on miraheze] did not source anything. They replaced our discord server with theirs, so on and so on. They basically have no attributions.
 * If you guys can't delete it, that's fine. It's just a tad bit frustrating. Rabby (talk) 23:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I did, and I think I made myself clear on the licenses, so I shouldn't really be repeating myself. What's the point of processing this, when I feel like you and TheRichSeries here in this section isn't assuming good-faith, and is biting the user in question? Wouldn't it be better off if you and Rabby just simply ignored RealKnockout and go on with your day? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:42, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Rabby My apologies for DarkMatterMan4500's reverting your replies. I'm not sure why he reverted your replies, though as they were made logged out, he might've mistaken the replies as vandalism. Nevertheless, I've now suppressed those revisions. I've had a look at  and I do see that Reception123 imported the pages following a Phabricator ticket here. Now, I do note only the current revision was imported, so it's not clear to me whether this was (a) a full XML dump from Fandom's Special:Statistics page or (b) a partial XML dump based on pages RealKnockout exported. Ideally, the edit summary should also link to the source page in question, particularly in this case since we don't have full contributor history. However, if we had full contributor history, while an edit summary link would be also nice, technically speaking, we only need to have links to each page's contributors. So, after reaching out to Owen, in my community capacity, is to reach out to RealKnockout to effect remediation. Dmehus (talk) 23:47, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for Teen Titans Go! Rocks:
I have a strange feeling that Teen Titans Go! Rocks might be a sockpuppet of DearMaster6/The something guy mainly because they have claimed that the Lion King (1994) was a rip-off of something without explaining why it is. This diff from the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki, for example, is strangely similar to this diff, considering how both of them have said the exact same thing by claiming that the Lion King (1994) is a rip-off of Kamba the White Lion without even showing any evidence of it. I believe this is no coincidence that they are no doubt related to each other. Please note that they've made similar edits across other wikis in such a strange fashion. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:21, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Not to mention that the suspected master account, DearMaster6 also said something similar to what the 2 sockpuppets have said, with the same "It's a rip-off of X" claim, as shown on other wikis. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:41, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if someone were to look into this if they can. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:30, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Please help
I need people to hear my side of the story about what has been happening on Qualitipedia. I have been falsely accused of starting drama, and I am being treated unfairly even when I try to resolve the situation. Obviously nothing has been able to help. It really seems like things have gotten out of control. I can't lose Miraheze, it is all I have left. Every time I try to offer criticism, they act like I am trying to start drama. And everyone refuses to hear my side of the story and acts like I am the bad guy, and goes around spreading lies about me. There has been lots of drama surrounding me yet it was not caused by me. I have been the butt-monkey of both FANDOM and Miraheze for over a year now. I have been demoted, kicked around by trolls, blamed for starting drama, and blocked. I just want to contribute, and I don't want to cause drama. They blame me for being unable to take criticism when it seems like they can't take criticism either because every time I try to peacefully offer suggestions they just go and block me. I need Steward's help. I would hate for Qualitipedia to shut down but this CANNOT continue. I am tired of being the center of drama and I just want peace. Qualitipedia is all I have left. I have discussed this millions of times in countless blogs and posts, but it seems like people just fail to listen, start beating dead horses, and pushing me around whenever I try to do ANYTHING that goes outside of the status quo. I don't want to be the bad guy, I just wanted to have fun on Qualitipedia. I don't understand what I am doing wrong, all of the admins seem to hate me for no apparent reason. I will ping the involved users here because this has to stop ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!

I do not want any drama, or any finger pointing. The Content Policy literally says that wikis cannot cause problems that make it difficult for other wikis. Please be civil, because I have tried to be. And do not spread lies about me. And please read the policies on the main page of every Qualitipedia wiki before you start accusing me of breaking rules, because I have been blocked for breaking non-existent rules. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * And this is not even a problem that just involves me. There is not a lot of problems with the content on the wikis, but the users are a different story. The content policy says that wikis cannot cause problems which make it difficult for other wikis. It literally talks about the wikis drawing negative attention to the farm which has sadly happened. Also, it says that wikis should not waste Steward's time, which has also sadly happened. I am the main person being targeted, but Qualitipedia right now seems to be in a bigger state of turmoil than ever before in the history of the Reception Wikis. But what is at the front and center of it all. Well, users constantly playing the blame game by trying to pin the blame on another person rather than accepting ANY criticism towards the wikis. I have now been blocked on every Qualitipedia wiki just for bringing up a suggestion on how to improve the wikis. It is time that Stewards intervene. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:20, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The Code of Conduct even says: “ A community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.” It also says that wikis should not draw unwelcome attention to the farm.
 * There are no explicit Content Policy violations, but I feel like the Code of Conduct is being violated constantly with users spreading lies about me and constantly harassing me. I just want to have fun on Qualitipedia and instead I am being scapegoated for absolutely no reason, and mostly for past reasons which are months old and have long since been resolved.
 * I am not the only person who is having this problem. There is constant turmoil across the Reception Wikis. Whereas some of the wikis are more uneventful, a coup happened on Rotten Websites Wiki. Also, the Websites wikis are starting to become like The Outcast Network.
 * I really wish I had a lawyer or something, because this is just to stressful for me to have to deal with. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So in summary:
 * I am being blocked for either things that are not against the written policy on the main page of each wiki or things that happened months ago and have since been resolved.
 * I cannot deal with this any longer, it has become much too stressful, and all I wanted to do was have fun on the wikis.
 * It has become clear that the Reception Wikis cannot take criticism, as I have been indefinitely blocked for trying to offer a suggestion on how to improve the wikis.
 * I think we can also safely say that MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge are abusing their power by blocking me cross-wiki and saying I violated non-existent rules. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:31, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * They even made a blog which is mostly just a one-sided attack blog against me, since most of the things on there are either old news, greatly exaggerated, or just plain false. So I would definitely recommend investigating MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge for a potential power abuse case.
 * They even threatened to get the global sysops against me. I just wish they would stop attacking me and I could live in peace on the Reception Wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So I mostly request you to open an investigation into MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge, since they have clearly abused their power, and possibly have them both be desysopped. At least DuchessTheSponge since he has had it in for me before I even knew he existed.
 * Also they hate that I don't like swearing which is completely illogical since swearing is impolite and highly frowned upon, regardless of who is viewing the wiki. They call me an “anti-profanity SJW” which is literally just name-calling. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please don't lock my account, this is all I have left. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 00:52, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

The blog, for quick access and edification. I'm not sure about a fully user targeting blog, but it does make a case of its own for contrast here. --Raidarr (talk) 11:02, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * A lot of the things said in the blog happened months ago. Also, many of the bad things he said I did are not even that bad. They act like I am this evil drama causer who exists to cause chaos but that is not true, I want to contribute and help out, unlike what they think. But now I am banned from Qualitipedia for nothing. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:48, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, when I gave them suggestions and asked them to do things, they just ignored it. Rather than solving Qualitipedia's problems, the admins just sweep it under the rug and pretend like it doesn't exist. And they threaten to block me whenever I disagree with them. They have deleted my blogs and have attacked me constantly. Unlike MarioMario456, who isn't as hostile, Duchess has been hostile to me before we even met. Assuming good faith does not seem to exist on Qualitipedia, because the admins seem to make up their own rules and don't follow the policy listed on the main page of every wiki. Furthermore, they act like they own the wiki, when Dmehus himself said that nobody owns the wiki. Even if the content of the wikis seems good at first, behind the scenes it is utter chaos, with users arguing and playing the blame game. The fact that there was recently an attempted coup on Rotten Websites Wiki tells me that the wikis are clearly unstable and they need a leader, not a ruler. Believe me, I want to contribute to the wikis, but I can't contribute under constant fear of persecution. They even get mad at me for trying to appeal my block. Obviously Dmehus's suggestion of avoiding their talk pages did not work out, because they still attacked me. And unfortunately, since Duchess and Mario pretty much control the wiki, I have no choice but to go to them. Basically Qualitipedia's power structure is that MarioMario456, DuchessTheSponge, and DarkMatterMan4500 control the wikis. But it seems like MarioMario456 has ultimate authority since he seems to be the one calling the shots. There are other admins but they don't seem to be around very often. So yeah, I cannot contribute to the wikis if their ruler hates me. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:59, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And another problem is, I was blocked on the wikis where I usually contribute (Best Shows & Episodes Wiki and Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, so that is mainly why I haven't been able to do much. The reason why I have been contributing to Crappy Games Wiki is because it seems to be the most active wiki. Since my block was unfair as I have not violated any of the policies on the main page of any of the wikis, my block was clearly unfair, but since there does not seem to be any way to locally resolve this since I will just get blocked again and I cannot get through to MarioMario456 or DuchessTheSponge, that is why Stewards need to get involved. I cannot continue to live in fear of persecution for speaking my mind. Ironically, even though they claim that profanity is free speech, they censor any criticism towards the wikis, which is a clear violation of free speech. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:06, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * We at Qualitipedia do take the critisisms we are given. For example, the admins listened when I pointed out the flaws of the wikis on the Crappy Games Wiki a month ago, and now they are trying the remove biased pages and make it look better. I just want to point that out. TigerBlazer (talk) 19:35, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well I suggested proposals and got blocked for it, so it seems more like MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge are targeting me specifically. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:58, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I really wish Dmehus was here so that he could solve this. The problem is that DuchessTheSponge and MarioMario456 won't listen to anything I say. I cannot live with them personally targeting and harassing me. And the worst part is they are trying to convince people that I am in the wrong when I am not. They think I am just playing the victim card. I cannot defend myself against their relentless attacks. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:02, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Why have stewards neglected this issue for so long. I NEED to be back on the reception wikis so that I can keep up with the rebrand. There is so much stuff I need to do.
 * Since it is obvious I will never be able to convince MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge to unblock me, I NEED help from stewards. But of course, no help, and now the rebrand is progressing. I have so many questions, like why did they move from Horrible Music & Songs Wiki to Worst Music & Songs Wiki? And I am being completely ignored. What is going on. Why is the entire universe against me?
 * I need answers.
 * The wikis were switched because the election was not moving fast enough for their tastes, from my observation. A large part of the issue here is that your issue is an incredibly deep web to unravel and cannot be subject to instant gratification. At worst it is being left alone to avoid conflict, but my good faith sense would indicate they are taking a more cautious and non-partisan approach for the sake of platform neutrality, as well as assessing the bigger picture of potential issue. Note that local communities are by rule intended to handle themselves, and an outlier will not be prioritized over the masses. This is something they must decide for themselves. Frankly the best option for you is to take a leave of absence and/or make good use of the platforms where you have every opportunity to do well. It's a waste of time to stick with something broken, when you have the resources to make something that works and prove others wrong if you really are correct. --Raidarr (talk) 00:22, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. The only thing is that I don't think that the wikis will change. Unfortunately, this can also not be resolved locally, as the other two admins might not respond. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:35, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And another problem is that MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge are completely ignoring me. When I asked why Worst Music & Songs Wiki was created instead of adopting Horrible Music & Songs Wiki, my edit just got reverted. No reply, just reverted. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Where are stewards, and why are they ignoring this. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:14, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Just popping in here to give a few thoughts. I personally don't follow the justification for the re-blocks. It feels like it mostly just dug up old stuff, and didn't really attempt to prove that the behavior after the unblocks warranted blocking. However, I am also not personally in a position as to say whether or not I think Blubabluba9990's behavior is welcome in the community. There seems to be a few comments from local users that it is not. However, the users of the Meta Wiki community only really seem to be finding issue in the long winded drama that accompanies the issue as a whole&mdash;not solely limited to Blubabluba9990. This is an issue I feel should be discussed by the local community, who so far seem rather unwilling to do so. My recommendation to the local admins is either to allow the user to edit, and see how well their behavior fits into the local community, or bounce the problem down to the local community, and allow them to discuss the issue. -- Void  Whispers 22:53, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I actually did file a power abuse complaint below about MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge below, but it got closed by Rhinos1. It has a decent amount of evidence, though most of the threads are deleted. Stewards however can see deleted contributions. Also, Mario and Duchess made a blog to lie about me, with users harassing me, so the average user does not seem to be on my side. I specifically requested that both Mario and Duchess be demoted cross-wiki, that I get unblocked, and that the blog gets deleted. After that, I can make another blog to clear my name. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:29, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm planning to unblock you and delete the blog later, don't worry. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 23:32, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok good. On every wiki that I am blocked on? Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:34, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Because I was just gonna make an adoption request for Best Episodes Wiki, but if I can go back to Best Shows & Episodes Wiki then I won't need to. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:36, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No, you're still remaining blocked on the dead wikis and please don't make a blog clearing your name because I don't think it's necessary. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 23:35, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. I am fine with being blocked on the dead wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:37, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If I add propsals, please do not use them to get the Prehibernation Week, The Lego Ninjago Movie, nor Encyclopedia SpongeBobia pages deleted though. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 23:38, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Fine. Can we at least rename Encyclopedia SpongeBobia back to Encyclopedia SpongeBobia (2007-2019, 2021-present), per our agreement. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:42, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 23:43, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok fine. Are you going to unblock me on the other Qualitipedia wikis?
 * Also can you restore all of my deleted user pages since deleting them wasn't necessary. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:46, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 23:53, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I feel like I should be unblocked on the wikis I intend to contribute to. I contribute mostly to the show, movies, and characters wikis, but I would like to be unblocked on the rebrand related wikis. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:55, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

I am not admin of my own wiki.
I requested for a wiki creation (ownsc.miraheze.org), but it seems that I am not the administrator. I was told to address the question here and maybe you are able to fix this issue? Thank you! Mihai1103 (talk) 20:43, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Easily fixed. Let me know if you have any other issues with the wiki. It's possible not everything was created properly. -- Void  Whispers 21:31, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Please Revert Last AbuseFilter Action on philosiverse.miraheze.org
I have an AbuseFilter set up to block certain things for role play reasons (the wiki is supposed to be a wiki in a fictional universe where these filters are required by law), and I accidentally triggered the filter when trying to fix a typo on a page. I tried to dismiss the warning, but I hit the wrong button and now all of my rights have been revoked! Please revert the last action taken by the filter (filter #1), and I WILL also disable “remove from groups” on that filter to prevent this from happening again once you do this! Bauerbach (talk) 00:05, 15 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Should be done. Do be more careful with that kind of filter though. I generally wouldn't recommend setting anything above disallow, unless absolutely necessary for some reason. -- Void  Whispers 01:34, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, sorry! I’ll only use that as a last resort from now on! Bauerbach (talk) 02:14, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Bauerbach (talk) 02:14, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for changing the filter settings for me! Bauerbach (talk) 02:16, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Apparent spam
mh:login:User:0lisamarie appears to have been created to peddle an advertisement; I report it here for further action. I'm not entirely sure what the best process is for this case, so I seek advisement on that as well - my first instinct was to blank before reporting, but I figure I'd get an idea before acting. --Raidarr (talk) 01:56, 15 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah, good call. Editing on someone else's user page on the  would only trigger the abuse filters. Only Stewards, Global Sysops, and System administrators are allowed to edit someone else's user page. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:48, 16 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)
 * i can help i have acces to that wiki Gilimaster69 (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

How can i make a Small Article Banner?
I mean, if a article is very small, a banner at the top appears FranciscoLol2009 (talk) 16:50, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you mean templates like this one (save the text)? If so, what many do is copy templates from other wikis and import them to their own. You could try doing that. You can then insert the template into small articles. Note that templates are not automatically added onto articles if they meet certain conditions, that can be done with the use of a bot that scans pages and adds templates accordingly. If you require more assistance, I recommend you ask on Discord or IRC as it is easier to explain on there. Thank you! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:43, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Checkuser request
Based on a similarity in edit style and subject preoccupation, we suspect a user who was recently perma-banned from All The Tropes, Cwf1997, is ban-evading under the user name Flowersnf. Could someone please run a Checkuser against them to confirm? Thank you. Looney Toons (talk) 01:46, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi . I don't think there is enough information for the stewards to perform a CheckUser against Flowersnf. Please give more information/evidence about why do you think they might be the banned user. Thank you! ~ Mazzaz (talk) 05:08, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Could you explain what you mean? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:41, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hold on, I think I found some evidence of it. These edits are quite compelling to say the absolute least. They do seem quite suspicious to me. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:06, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * We've left several more edits of Flowersnf's in our moderation queue (along with at least one rejected edit in the history), which I can release for review if you like. In the mean time, Cwf1997 had a pre-occupation with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, spawning a dozen or so stub pages.  At the same time, though, he would create trope entries on these and other pages where the description of how the trope applies to the work had little to nothing to do with the definition of the trope; mods and users alike have had to clean up behind him.  Flowersnf's few edits so far have included attempts to create new subpages for works in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with trope examples on thoses pages and others that have little or nothing to do with what the tropes are actually about.  The edits that DarkMatterMan4500 has pointed to are a good case in point, but I will assemble more examples if they're necessary.  (Meanwhile, I'm confused; does Checkuser require a more extensive user history than Flowersnf has accumulated so far?  We have rejected edits of his to protect the wiki; are we going to have to let all his edits through and then undo the ones we'd've normally rejected just to generate sufficient data to run a checkuser?)  Thanks.  Looney Toons (talk) 21:57, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

There is a wiki with pages copied (fully or partially) from other wikis.
Hello. I recently discovered a wiki that has pages that have been fully or partially copied from other sites. It's called Beach Ball Wiki. Here's the link: https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page The wiki was created by a user named Caidin2009 (also known as Caidin Johnson), who is known for his long-time vandalism on certain articles on Wikipedia and Fandom. I found this wiki back in June of this year, and I did some investigating. Some of the pages on the wiki are taken from Logopedia (a wiki on Fandom) and some are taken directly from Wikipedia (along with broken links).

Here are some examples: https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Paramount_Pictures (This page's content is taken directly from Wikipedia's article about Paramount Pictures.) https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Castle_Rock_Entertainment (This page's content is taken from two CLG Wiki articles. ) https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Beach_Ball_Wiki_Tutorial_Guide (Almost all of this tutorial guide page's content is taken from CLG Wiki's tutorial guide. ) https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Blue%27s_Clues (Almost all of this page's content is taken from CLG Wiki's Cannell Entertainment page, except he also added Blue's Clues-related stuff to the page. ) So yeah, a lot of content from other wikis have been copied and pasted into the Beach Ball Wiki. Hopefully, this problem will be solved. Thank you. Regular Badger (talk) 06:15, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it appears that many pages on that wiki are ripped straight from Wikipedia or other wikis. That's an issue as it also features no attribution to Wikipedia or any other wikis which is required by their licensing. This appears to be ongoing for a while, one article from at least 2020. It's also a bit blatant, the user seems to have left the signature of CLG Wiki admins at the end of this page. The user may not know that attribution is needed and may be confused. Maybe a warning might be best in this situation. Regardless though, Stewards will surely assess this shortly, thank you for taking the time to report it.

CheckUser Request for Lastflash and Bakerbeat5:
I am requesting this mainly because the 2 users in question have been acting pretty strange, and here are the following things they have done: Let's see here, Lastflash has annoyed DeciduousWater534 in the same style as Larryding, and Bakerbeat5 has replied to one of their own talk pages (which I assume is being ran under a different master account. Also, additionally, I found that another strange suspected sock, Championthegoat has made this compelling edit, pretty much confessing to being Cbolt12, or another strange sockpuppet account for that matter, which raises a red flag, if you ask me. I'd like this to be investigated when you guys get a chance. If it's confirmed to be the same person, please lock them along with any additional accounts that they may own. Thanks. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:26, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * DarkMatterMan4500 I'm going to mark this as ❌ as Lastflash has made zero edits or log actions cross-wiki, so you have no suspected target for Bakerbeat5. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, but what about Championthegoat? I find it pretty strange how they edited on Cbolt12's sandbox, which was moved there by MatthewThePrep. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:33, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure why you are trying to double-barrel your requests here, but you haven't linked to anything compelling in any case. Dmehus (talk) 21:35, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Very well, guess we could leave it as is unless stated otherwise. Thanks again for responding DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:35, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. Please start a new request if you see further cross-wiki edits from either of those users that might suggest a likely relation. :) Dmehus (talk) 21:36, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Note, too, that user board messages do not produce any edits or log actions. Even if they did, though, I don't see anything compelling here. Dmehus (talk) 21:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for MaisVocêYes SeJogaNO and MaisVocêFTW SeJogaFTL:
Welp, Encantadia Rules Est. 2016 came back with 2 sockpuppet accounts. Aside from the similarities in their usernames between those 2 accounts and MaisVocê Rules Est 2020, they won't stop messing with MariaJulia1718's sandbox, which was something that Encantadia Rules Est. 2016 has done previously, which was how she was blocked in the first place, and if you notice this account, and even this one in particular, you should see that they are exactly the same as what this particular edit from this locked account has. Not sure if this needs further examining, but do whatever it takes. You have my thanks. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:48, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * While I agree the above two users are likely related, the second has not edited on any wiki. Moreover, crucially, I don't see anything that suggests the first is likely related to the previously locked user. Moreover, the edit you linked is to the first of the two users, not to Encantadia Rules Est. 2016. :) Dmehus (talk) 22:25, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I actually expected this type of reply from you, and yeah, that was exactly what I saw. Meanwhile, you think you could look into Teen Titans Go! Rocks' edits? I know I'm double-barreling this for the second time today, but I do believe they should be looked at, as it's been sitting on the Stewards' noticeboard since it was posted, with only me replying. Remember when I mentioned that The something guy and DearMaster6 have inserted in "Its a rip-off of X" into articles? Well, Teen Titans Go! Rocks did exactly that, and it's strangely similar to this diff, as it's on the exact same page. Not sure if you want to look into it now, but I've been feeling like I've been getting some sort of bad luck around here lately. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:36, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Socks get locked. -- Void  Whispers 21:05, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

 * 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)

Wiki Deletion Request
Hey Stewards, I want to delete this wiki I wanted to make, as I don't think I'll have the time to add all the pages I want to make due to how crazy my work schedule has been. I think when it frees up a bit, I'll request another - although different in terms of topic - wiki, I just think this should go for now. Additionally, I talked with other members of NUMTOT (the group I was making a wiki about, which I am a part of) and it seems like they want to create a full-on website instead of a wiki.

I was tricked by a user on the RequestWikiQueue:
A user in question made this request for a wiki on Nasty Food and Drinks Wiki, but when I approved it (unknowingly), it turned out to be a revival of the Atrocious YouTubers Wiki.

 * DarkMatterMan4500 Please be careful in approving wikis too quickly, particularly where the subdomain,  does not match the sitename and/or description. That being said, this requesting user was quite duplicitous in requesting this wiki with the deliberate attempt to deceive a wiki creator into creating the wiki. Though no content was restored, the fact that this was so flagrant and blatant as stated on the wiki's Main Page and since the user, perhaps in response to this report or to your local user talk page advisory on the wiki, closed the wiki, I'm willing to assume good faith the user realized the error in their ways.

I accidentally made 2 extra accounts while creating my account
I accidentally made 2 extra accounts while creating this account, as I wasn't redirected while making the first 2, which was something I thought was going to happen. I thought maybe the usernames were already taken and that's why I hadn't been redirected. The 2 accounts are (Jakess) and (Jakesmithispiff) Jakes (talk) 16:05, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , it's ok! You can use one of them for testing administrative tools on Public Test Wiki. And leave the other one as it is. :) ~ Mazzaz (talk) 10:01, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Jakes As you created Jakess and Jakesmithispiff while logged out, without you posting a reply here from each of those two accounts stating they're your legitimate alternate accounts and whether you prefer they be merged into your main account or globally locked, there's not much we can do here. If, however, you login and post said confirmation edits from each and state your intention clearly, then there a couple options here. As to your latter point, that's perhaps something we should see if an interface message exists to redirect the user away from Special:CreateAccount after creating an account, then we could deploy that interface message globally.

Qualitipedia power abuse case
As I have discussed before, two of Qualitipedia's admins, MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge, have been abusing their powers to attack me.

First we will start with DuchessTheSponge. We will not include what he did to me on FANDOM since that is off-site, but I will discuss what has happened here. Here is everything that Duchess has done against me:
 * Back in December, he blocked me on a bunch of different wikis when I appealed my block on his talk page on my wiki, The Wow House Wiki. The talk page has since been deleted due to containing profanity.
 * He has repeatedly reverted my edits. Take a look at his talk page here (User talk:DuchessTheSponge). If you look at the history you can see a while ago I apologized to him twice but he just reverted the edit. He also reverted my edit on the SpongeBob SquarePants page on Best Shows & Episodes Wiki (see here: mh:besttvshows:SpongeBob SquarePants (Seasons 1-5, 9-present). In the history of that page I added Prehibernation Week to the list of good episodes because it seems to have positive reception. However, he reverted my edit, while again using profanity in the edit summary. Also, when I asked why Worst Music & Songs Wiki was created rather than continuing the election on Horrible Music & Songs Wiki, he just reverted my edit. See here: mh:worstmusicandsongs:Talk:Worst Music & Songs Wiki (see the history), and blocked me there despite me not having done anything wrong there.
 * He has falsely warned me several times:
 * He warned me for reverting his edit which didn't really make sense at the time, apparently that is considered "vandalism". See here: mh:freshwebsites:User talk:Blubabluba9990.
 * On Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, he warned me for marking the Prehibernation Week page on that wiki for deletion since at the time I felt it had majority positive reception. However, when I told him that the warning was invalid, he blocked me (see here: mh:terribletvshows:User talk:Blubabluba9990.
 * He even warned by friend BookFandumb1 just for defending me (see here: mh:crappygames:User talk:BookFandumb1.
 * Duchess also deleted a bunch of my blog posts and messages on Crappy Games Wiki for no apparent reason (see my deleted user contributions on that wiki).
 * He has repeatedly deleted BookFandumb1's comments defending me on an attack blog he made.
 * As mentioned above, him and MarioMario456 both made a blog dedicated to spreading lies about me, and trying to turn everybody against me (which is linked in an above discussion).
 * He has deleted several of my user pages on almost every Qualitipedia wiki.
 * And to top it all off, he is constantly defending ESB and acts like it is the best thing since sliced bread, ignoring the horrors I experienced there and shoehorning his personal opinions onto the page instead.
 * He betrayed our agreement that the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia page would be called Encyclopedia SpongeBobia (2007–2019, 2021–present), since when I was blocked he moved it back to just Encyclopedia SpongeBobia. See the page's history on Fresh Websites Wiki: mh:freshwebsites:Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, and see his talk page on that wiki for the discussion: mh:freshwebsites:User talk:DuchessTheSponge.

Now on to MarioMario456. He has not committed as egregious power abuse as Duchess, but recently he has also had his faults:
 * He rages at me a lot when I try to ask him questions. See his talk page here on Meta. Pretty much any discussion I have with him ends with him raging.
 * He has blocked me repeatedly for the same reasons as Duchess: Random minor things which are not against the rules on any Qualitipedia wiki. To add to that, they have both blocked me on wikis I have either never contributed to, and some of them I never intended to contribute, I just visited the wiki briefly.
 * When I asked him to do some things on Crappy Games Wiki, he gave me a warning and raged at me. Also, in the deletion summary for the discussion me and Duchess had about proposals, he raged that Encyclopedia SpongeBobia has not gone downhill, even though it has. He also acted like me saying that was some sort of crime even though it is never mentioned in the rules that you can't state opinions. And as I said, he deleted the discussion, rather than even replying to it. You can see my deleted user contributions on Crappy Games Wiki.
 * He pretty much sides with Duchess.

In summary, this is not okay and is long–term abuse, at least in Duchess's case since the first time he blocked me cross wiki was in December. I would request a desysopping of both users across Miraheze or at least a warning. I would also recommend you delete the attack blog against me on Crappy Games Wiki. And I also need to be unblocked on every wiki I am blocked on. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:07, 20 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, it looks like either Duchess or one of the other admins deleted my messages for some reason. You can look at my deleted user contributions on those wikis for proof. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:14, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You have made this case in good part already, I suggest this be about the last lengthy comment and to keep the contents to one place, as posting literally everywhere in slightly different statements seems a lot like drama fishing. That said this makes specific claims that can be addressed, which could be of possible use as long as it's kept clean and consistent. I would suggest using/creating internet archive pages of content you want to use as evidence so it cannot be removed from here on out, though the Stewards can probably just look into specific things anyways so long as they have a link. Lack of specific references for evidence has probably been your greatest weakness so far. This has been a highly partisan back-and-forth saga and I have to imagine some people are a touch tired of seeing it play out. As much as some might have a full tin of popcorn as well. The use of links here is a good start, but again. Shoot for brevity, avoid making the same point multiple times and concentrate the evidence. --Raidarr (talk) 18:27, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * One problem, it is too late to make internet archives. Stewards can view deleted contributions though. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Broadly that's a local admin issue would only become a Steward one if they are unable to fix + inactive (actually at that point a Global Sysop might be good here). Unfortunately the local administrator (Bedriczwaleta) appears to have 2 edits on his own wiki and has not done squat in a long time, so this may be a case of disappeared admin. He did customize his permissions from the looks of it, so it's entirely possible something was screwed up. If you can make a list of what is specifically off, someone acting as a Global sysop might be able to fix it. Also, it's all about the colons; you can see how the indents work if you view page source (such as how I've just started a new section). --Raidarr (talk) 10:36, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

I feel Violated by MarioMario456
He asked for my IP on Awesome Games Wiki, please global him. I have done nothing wrong on the wiki. I am crying and scared in rl, I feel like he's going to doxx me if I send it to him. Proof is here: ibb.co/nkzZC4P Captain (talk) 01:34, 22 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I have no interest in doxxing you. By behavior alone, it seems similar that you are Willg8686. He gives IPs in public which are confirmed to be VPNs.

 * And he is also impersonating as a Steward too Captain (talk) 02:10, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Technical evidence here is inconclusive. It might also just be me, but the behavioral evidence seems a bit shaky too. In any case, I'm going to leave this to local administrators to determine whether or not the user's behavior/edits are welcome or not on any particular wiki. Oh, and can we please not ask users for their IP addresses. It's still private information, and access to it should be limited accordingly. --  Void  Whispers 20:31, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry to interrupt here, but last night, when here was blocked, he resorted to telling me to grow up, in quite a rude manner on Awful Movies Wiki. And I apologize on behalf of MarioMario456, as I told him several times to not do stuff like this. That should also be looked at too. And even after that, he resorted to stalking me on a few more wikis by throwing random foe requests at me over me blocking him. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:47, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm concerned that these 2 might be the same person, as Jones321 was locked as a vandalism-only account.

 * Hello. I tried to import pages from my wiki in Fandom to this one in Miraheze but instead I imported from MediaWiki the Fandom page. Fffv7787 (talk) 13:29, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello there!
 * Importing your wiki from fandom to Miraheze is so easy, All you need to do is Exporting the DataDump of the Fandom wiki (you probably know how to do that), then Import it to your Miraheze wiki using the Special:Import on the MH wiki in question.
 * If the data dump seems too large or you cannot import it yourself, then a Steward can help you import it to your Miraheze wiki, or you could also file a Phabricator task, requesting the import (only when you have the DataDump of the fandom wiki already).
 * Hope this helps. Ugochimobi (talk) 13:57, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Fffv7787 (talk) 14:03, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Please specify the Fandom wiki and the Miraheze wiki... Ugochimobi (talk) 14:19, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , I am not sure what the actual problem is. But it should work well when you go to Special:Export on your fandom wiki and download the pages you want to import and upload them at the Special:Import on your wiki. And all this should work well. If you still face any issue, then consider opening a phabricator task! ~ Mazzaz (talk)  14:46, 24 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.

 * 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.)

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)

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)

CU
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.

Global Ban and Checkuser request for cross-wiki abusers

 * Special:CentralAuth/반달 바이러스
 * Special:CentralAuth/대왕사마귀
 * Special:CentralAuth/전광훈 목사님께서 정권을 잡아야 한다
 * Special:CentralAuth/이 사용자는 노무현 대통령을 영원히 기억하고자 합니다

Here are some names of vandal which show similar patterns. All of these accounts have appeared in mh:libertygame: and mh:osaindex:, showing dozens of documents being replaced with specific content by each account. Please ban on all three accounts globally before damaging other wikis, and checkuser considering the similar behavior patterns of each user. 재미재미 (talk) 09:17, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

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.
