For the WikiDiscover can you add movie's as a Category and also add tv show's Please this would make it easier for users interested In those kind of wiki's to find them? --Cocopuff2018 15:37, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Did you hear back from a Steward or System Administrator? If so, do you know what the result was? If not, let me know, and I'll try escalating this for you. Dmehus (talk) 00:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Delete this wiki
Please delete this wiki https://en.wikireserve.com BhanuSrivastav (talk) 01:11, 27 May 2020‎
 * Sorry for the delay in responding. I do see that you and the other two bureaucrats on that wiki have not issued any log actions or edits since you made this request. Normally, wikis will be deleted in a semi-automated process, per Dormancy Policy. You have, however, requested deletion, so I'll created Phab ticket #T5720 for one of the Stewards or System Administrators to follow up with you and confirm that you still want to see early deletion. Dmehus (talk) 00:46, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Delete reversecrummyscratchers.miraheze.org
Hi Stewards! Looks like reversecrummyscratchers is in no use because CSW is closing down, and I will close this wiki. Can you shut down? Thank you. CircleyDoesExtracter (talk) 20:12, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like this one has been done as well. See 's response below. Dmehus (talk) 01:12, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Unban Championgamer1Playz's IP
Title. Some guy shares their IP with each other, so can you unban it? Just Amelia (talk) 17:21, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The Stewards will need more detail on this. Because of the sensitive nature of the request, can you please e-mail stewards[at]miraheze.org, quoting details of the specific wiki, linking to relevant username(s) and edit diffs? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:51, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Please send a list of all public wikis to WikiTeam
I tried to add three of my wikis to the list of Miraheze wikis at WikiTeam's GitHub but was asked by nemobis for complete list of Miraheze wikis instead of a few patches at a time. Please could an admin send them a current list of all the public Miraheze wikis? --Rob Kam (talk) 20:12, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Would Special:WikiDiscover work? I'm not sure if it would be all public wikis, as some may have specifically requested to be unlisted, but since it's tied in with the Miraheze wiki creation extensions, it should be automatically updated. Selecting "uncategorised" appears to list all the wikis, regardless of category. Dmehus (talk) 20:44, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * That's multiple lists, from there it would require too much fiddling about to get a single list of all public wikis in all languages. --Rob Kam (talk) 21:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm looking now. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  22:11, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ - This doesn't need a Sysadmin. Special:WikiDiscover has an API which can be parsed easily. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  22:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

my Poem: namespace
I tried creating a Poem: namespace but it doesn't seem to be working. Example: Poem:Clouds the log Thanks. DMBFFF (talk) 18:10, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The error says your namespace uses an unknown content model. Can you go to Special:ManageWiki/namespaces on your wiki, then select the Poem namespace and ? Then check "" and try to change the content model to "Wikitext", like it should be. Then "" at tab. -- 06:04, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Infobox


I want exact same infobox like Wikipedia with this light grey background box for my wiki Gyaanipedia Please help me Shaunak Chakraborty (talk) 01:03, 5 June 2020 Timestamp added for Shaunak Chakraborty by Dmehus (talk) 15:10, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Did you manage to figure out a solution to your question? Also, when you sign your posts, please remember to use  to include a timestamp—a bot archives threads based on that; using only three tildes produces only your username and talk page links. Nevertheless, what you need to do is find that exact Wikipedia infobox on any Wikipedia page (there's lots of infoboxes), then click "edit" on that page, check for the name of the infobox template being transcluded, and then type in in the search box on Wikipedia, "Template:," where "Name of infobox" is the specific infobox being called for with a capitalized initial character. Once you've found that, you'll want to "edit source" or "view source" (depending on whether it's protected—and it probably is, unless you're a template editor on English Wikipedia) and check for any related templates it may be calling for, to see whether you need those too or already have those.
 * Once you've finished here, head over to Special:Export, on English Wikipedia, and enter the exact page name include namespace prefix of the template you want to export (if exporting multiple templates, you can enter one per line). You can either export the most recent revision(s), or all revisions. Since there are subtleties in CreativeCommons license versions that English Wikipedia and Miraheze use, a best practice is to export all revisions. This will generate an XML file containing all the revisions.
 * Now, on your wiki, you'll want to go to the Special:Import page, and import the XML using the file upload method (I find it easier) by locating the XML file you downloaded. For the interwiki prefix, which is used for linking to the English Wikipedia users' pages and talk pages, enter w:. Most likely, the English Wikipedia users don't have local Miraheze accounts, so you can decide whether to associate the contributors' usernames with their Miraheze usernames (if they exist locally), though there's a Miraheze Phabricator ticket with doing this ( can perhaps clarify if that bug is still outstanding), so I recommend leaving it unchecked, at least for now. I usually import it to the default locations (Template: namespace, in this case), as I can always move it without leaving a redirect afterword, but feel free to try the other options, if you prefer. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Can i be admin on Rogues Gallery of Internet Wiki

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was: moot. This doesn't need stewards' attention. If a wiki with inactive bureaucrats on that wiki are active on another wiki, one needs to try reaching out to them in some other method (i.e., on the other active wiki, on Discord, etc.) before reaching out for steward intervention.

Title. I've set up a poll and 10 people said yes. Here is the poll link: https://horriblevyonderswiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page --Just Amelia (talk) 12:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with that wiki or its local policy on administrator appointments, but global Stewards will only action requests locally when there has been no action by local bureaucrats, etc., for a "meaningful" period of time. Have you tried looking at Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat on that wiki, and contacting one of the bureaucrats to see whether your poll was in line with local policy on administrator appointments and, if so, if they can assess consensus support level and enact/not enact your appointment? That's really your first step before approaching Stewards' noticeboard. Dmehus (talk) 15:33, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I had a look at that wiki, and, though not familiar with the local appointment process policy, I see two active bureaucrats there, active in the last day or two. So, you really need to reach out to them first before reaching out to the stewards. Dmehus (talk) 15:48, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Those bcrats are all inactive. --Just Amelia (talk) 16:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing that—EijiZeBoi and Hendicted had edit activity as recently as yesterday. I've pinged them to this thread, but you might try using Special:EmailUser and e-mailing them if they aren't responding on-wiki. Hope that helps. Stewards won't likely get involved to close discussions and assess support level for at least a couple, maybe one, week(s) without local bureaucrat response. Dmehus (talk) 16:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * you're checking the wrong wiki. I am already admin on the wiki I set up the poll on. Just click on here, this is the wiki i want to adopt. --Just Amelia (talk) 04:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, this is why I was confused. You've linked to the inactive Rogues Gallery of Internet Wiki in the section header, but you set up on a poll on a different wiki where the bureaucrats are active. Still, since you're already an admin on the latter, nothing needs to be done there. In terms of Rogues Gallery of Internet Wiki, I'd say you need to wait for Dormancy Policy to kick in, which requires that the wiki have no edits and log entries (especially the no edits part) for a minimum of sixty days before it'll be posted for adoption. Or, you need to contact the bureaucrat on the other wiki (the seemingly inactive one) and, since they're the bureaucrat on the seemingly abandoned wiki, they can easily make you a bureaucrat (if they wish) and turn it over to you, skipping the need for Steward involvement. Hope that makes sense. Dmehus (talk) 14:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, i'm gonna try and contact RoboticJeffy on discord. --Just Amelia (talk) 05:16, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Please delete assistivecybernetics.miraheze.org
No longer needed. I've deleted all pages and marked it closed. Miraheze is a great service! Cheers. Sbp (talk) 11:11, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * We're sorry to see you close down your wiki. Ordinarily, marking your wiki as 'closed' will put in place a semi-automated process for full wiki deletion; however, perhaps because you've deleted all files, including those in the MediaWiki namespace, that may have interrupted that process. Please see T5722 ticket for the updates and action(s) taken by the Steward and System Administrator team. Dmehus (talk) 01:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in this request, it has now been handled. -- Void  Whispers 02:09, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and no worries!, sorry about submitting the Phabricator tickets; it's just that I've seen Phabricator tickets for renamings and wiki deletion requests having been submitted in the past. Honestly, though, I'm wondering why we don't just create a "Stewards" task group on Miraheze Phabricator for such things. I think it would streamline the handling of these requests. Perhaps you could give consideration to it? Dmehus (talk) 03:40, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Exception dormancy policy
Hi. I would like to request that my wiki Ucronias (ucronias.miraheze.org) have an exception to the inactivity policy. Although my wiki doesn't have enough articles, in other name spaces it has and will have useful resources about what my wiki is about that I would like to preserve. Also that I may have unedited periods (to focus on other projects). Hispano76 (talk) 03:17, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * My read of the dormancy policy seems to indicate that the only way the shorter 30 day inactivity policy comes into play is when your wiki has literally zero contributions (and thus, pages) in your wiki's Main: namespace. As long as you a customized Main Page and perhaps one other page in that namespace, you should be fine. You could even have cross-namespace soft redirects to your pages in your other namespaces and that should qualify you for only having to be concerned with the standard 45 day inactivity policy. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:40, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I know that, but it's not enough for me and I'm avoiding redirections as much as possible. I want to focus on other projects without worrying about inactivity of Wiki. Hispano76 (talk) 19:39, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair enough. I figured you knew how to avoid the inactivity rules, but just wasn't sure if maybe we were reading the policy differently. I have no objections to your wiki being exempt from the Dormancy Policy, though I haven't looked at it personally. I trust there's sufficient content there, regardless of namespace, that people would want to regularly read. Dmehus (talk) 20:45, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * This has now been done. -- Void  Whispers 22:46, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Interwiki Links
I recently imported two wikis (both related to the Homestar Runner cartoon series) from Referata to Miraheze, and I'd like to restore some of the interwiki links from the original sites.

Add to both Homestar Runner Fanon and The Broternal Wiki: hrfwiki2:

Add to The Broternal Wiki only: forum:

In addition, I'd like the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki 2 interwiki link "hrfanon" to be changed to the new site: hrfanon:

Thanks! Gfdgsgxgzgdrc (talk) 22:56, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * This seems reasonable. I will ping several of the interwiki administrators,, to respond to your request. Thank you for formulating the request properly, . Dmehus (talk) 03:41, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Please Delete This Wiki
Hey Please Delete This Wiki https://awesomewiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
 * First, please remember to sign your posts with  as a bot archives the threads based on the timestamps in the threads. I've added an unsigned signature for you this time. Second, while you can request early wiki closure, the stewards are presently backlogged in requests. Since, as bureaucrat, you have access to Special:ManageWiki on your wiki to change your wiki's status from 'inactive' or 'closed' to 'open', it holds that you can also change its status to 'closed'. By marking it as closed, it will be deleted in accordance with the Dormancy Policy, requiring no immediate action from stewards at this point. If you still wish to accelerate closure for other reason, I'd suggest pinging a steward on Discord or e-mailing stewards[at]miraheze.org, replacing [at] with the ampersand (@) character. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Well it will take a while for it to be deleted under the Dormancy Policy. A steward should be able to get to it soon normally. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:40, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Can somebody globally ban this user
M619oha7m13ed wouldn't stop blanking pages in Terrible TV Shows Wiki and when other people tell him not to blank pages, he still does it. And can you check if M204o68ha278m204ed is a sock of M6190ha7m13ed?
 * Do you have any evidence this user is taking the vandalism cross-wiki? Assuming there are active administrators on Terrible TV Shows Wiki, this wouldn't then need steward involvement. Just issue your warning or sanction, including a local block, in accordance with Terrible TV Shows Wiki's local policies. If the concern is that the two users are related, I would personally just reach out to a steward privately IRC or Discord, citing their similar usernames and other behavioural evidence, privately, and then the steward may decide on appropriate sanctions, which could include blocking account creation from a range of IP addresses, global locking, or other sanctions. Personally, if they created only two users on one wiki, just tag them as suspected (since you can't prove it with IP evidence; you can only rely on behavioural DUCK-like evidence) sockpuppet accounts and block them locally. If it persists with further account creations, then private message a steward. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:42, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Here Dmehus, look at the links
 * https://terribletvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/M619oha7m13ed
 * https://terribletvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/M204o68ha278m204ed
 * I agree that all of that page blanking from both accounts, both using mobile devices, is definitely DUCK-like behaviour, but since it seems to just be targeting both those wikis, on which both are now indefinitely locally blocked, I'm not sure this needs steward involvement. If they go cross-wiki to other wikis, then yes. And, if they start creating more accounts, then we may need to have a steward perform a CheckUser to confirm and, if needed, globally block and tag and/or block of range of IPs. Dmehus (talk) 19:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sockpuppetry that occurs many times is definitely a steward issue. The steward has a tool called CheckUser that they can use to see the IP(s) where the accounts are coming from and then they can block them. -EK ● 📝 ● 🌎 19:27, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wasn't trying to suggest that it wasn't a steward issue, but rather, was just saying that since it only involved two seemingly closely related wikis and two accounts, that perhaps all that's needed is for a steward to perform a CheckUser and globally lock the sockpuppet account, not the original account, provided the original account holder does not and/or pledges not to create any further accounts for the sole purpose of evading local blocks or sanctions and that any other accounts created should be disclosed (ideally via their global user page). Hope that clarifies. Dmehus (talk) 21:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Those listed accounts, as well as ten others, have been confirmed to each other and locked. -- Void  Whispers 22:27, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

My private wiki is throwing an error saying "Fatal exception of type MWException" on every page, and is unusable

Global block request for Princess ash fan and their 3 alt accounts
Accounts that they own: these accounts were created on Atrocious YouTubers wiki and were banned due to abusing multiple accounts. Feel free to block the accounts listed above. Agent Joestar (talk) 22:01, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Princess ash fan
 * Princess ash433
 * Princess ash is awesome
 * Ashcorn433
 * There are no edits on any of those accounts. Simply having multiple accounts isn't generally an offense we'd globally ban users for. Is there another account that has edits that isn't listed? -- Void  Whispers 22:19, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Please block a user globally
Please globally block "Ratava12" for violation of the Terms of Service by uploading https://allthetropes.org/wiki/File:Pain5.jpg

Once you've looked at that image, please delete it. We don't want it on the wiki.

--Robkelk (talk) 00:50, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Why do you want this user's account to be globally locked, when they have only contributed to that wiki and no others? Indeed, per Special:CentralAuth/Ratava12, they only have attached accounts on All the Tropes (on which they're indefinitely blocked already), and Login and Meta wikis (required for coordination and logistical purposes and on which they're showing no activity). Do you have evidence of sockpuppetry? Otherwise, I tend to think this is moot/handled locally. Hope that helps.
 * Edit: How can I unsee that image? Why can't you guys delete that image locally? I'm sure All the Tropes, the busiest wiki on Miraheze, has active local admins, no?
 * Added comment: On second thought, I guess it couldn't hurt to globally lock the account, with a notification to the user via e-mail and/or their user talk page not to create any accounts to circumvent the block and that they can be unblocked, but only once they've shown they understand our global policies by paraphrasing the key points with respect to the kinds of acceptable content. Dmehus (talk) 00:58, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The request for a global block was because of the violation of Miraheze's Terms of Service. As for not deleting the image, the last time we had something like this happen, we deleted the image before reporting the Terms of Service violation, and were told that there was no evidence that there was a Terms of Service violation. we had to leave the image up until a Steward had seen it. we'll delete it now if you haven't already. --Robkelk (talk) 01:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense, sort of. Shouldn't a steward be able to see the the deleted revision, though? I'd have to look at the global permissions for stewards, but I assume so. Nonetheless, given the grossness of the image in question and how out of project scope it is for All the Tropes wiki, I'd support a global locking, provided the user is sufficently warned not to try and evade the block and that if they can show evidence they understand the terms of service and fly right, then they may be able to be globally unlocked (though not locally unblocked, of course, as that'd be subject to your local wiki rules). Hope that helps. Thanks for reporting and clarifying! (For clarity, I'm not a steward...just trying to help out by responding to requests that don't need stewards' attention. This does.) Dmehus (talk) 01:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Done, by leaving a notice and explanation on the account's Talk page. --Robkelk (talk) 01:26, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Do be sure to delete those kinds of images if you find them, it's best not to keep them around. A report is good enough for me (I've seen this fellow before). -- Void  Whispers 01:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Deleted and overwritten so that casual editors can't see it. --Robkelk (talk) 01:26, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The account has been globally locked, also note that you may want to place some longer-duration local blocks on those three IP ranges I just globalled, as they are all related to the abuse you've been dealing with recently. -- Void  Whispers 01:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. That notice on the user's talk page was perfect; couldn't be more clear. Great that actioned this quickly, and also that you've suppressed the deleted revision from normal administrators. Now, if only I can unsee that... Dmehus (talk) 02:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , I don't see global blocks on the wiki-specific Blocked users page or the Block log. I give you permission to extend the IP range blocks on All The Tropes to a full year (if they aren't that long already). --Robkelk (talk) 03:00, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I just clicked on that link again to make sure it was deleted, and I still see the thumbnail in the version history. I'm wondering if maybe you've either (a) only deleted the file page or (b) only deleted the file itself? Dmehus (talk) 03:04, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thumbnails don't clear instantly. It seems to be fine so, if not, clear your cache. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  06:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Deleted, re-created with the null image, and purged, in that order. Check your local cache. --Robkelk (talk) 11:19, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair enough. I've tried purging the server cache three times and clearing my local web history twice for  twice, both the File: page still shows up as does the image file that's hosted on  . I don't really want to try it again as I really don't want to have to keep seeing that gross image. Could it be a caching problem with Miraheze's content delivery network that should be resolved in the next 24 hours or so? I had a similar problem with the Senate of Canada seating plan image that was hosted on the Wikimedia Commons earlier this year. After a few days, as I recall, it eventually resolved itself, and the newer revision was shown. Dmehus (talk) 15:02, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * This is what I see, as of 15:35 UTC: File:Screengrab - ATT - file pain5jpg 2020-06-15-1535UTC.JPG Unless you haven't cleared your cache for static.miraheze.org, I don't know why you don't see a black box. --Robkelk (talk) 15:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that thumbnail from the screenshot is what I see at mh:allthetropes:File:Carcass - Reek Of Putrefaction.jpg, but not at the "pain5" one. It seems like it might an intermediary caching issue, between me and allthetropes.org. It sounds like you've deleted the image and page correctly as you and don't see it. RhinosF1 is talking to paladox on IRC, so hopefully we can get it resolved for me (and, potentially, other Canadians). At least for most/nearly all people, it seems to be resolved.

Global block request for SaintChristmas, AKA Akumu.
I am requesting this because this user (SaintChristmas) made this account specifically to harass me and Kesner (who is an admin on Atrocious YouTubers wiki) for no good reason. Here is proof of him messaging me. Kesner also told me that he couldn't find the message SaintChristmas sent him but it said "You blocked me on Discord after shit talking. I'll give you another chance. Or you want me to make a video mentioning your Brony ass?". If you didn't notice, SaintChristmas is trying to blackmail Kesner into having a VC on Discord with him, or else SaintChristmas will namedrop Kesner in an upcoming video talking about his page and the Kiwi Farms thread and possibly open a window of harrassment towards him. This isn't the first time SaintChristmas/Akumu was found to be harassing people online, as he harassed a 15-year-old artist named Slimurz a couple of months ago on Twitter to the point where she had to private her account (here is proof again). There are other things that SaintChristmas has done (in fact, there's a lot of stuff he did), such as being transphobic and calling Slimurz a dumbass, but it'll make this post very long. Feel free to block this user because I want him to leave Kesner alone.

EDIT: this user also has a sockpuppet account named Akumu. Also feel free to ban that account too

The Amazing Scratch Projects Wiki abuse case
I have not seen this case detailed before, so I am going to be bold and bring to the table what I found in the matter.

A few days ago, I stumbled across one of those new "reception wikis", particularly the Bad Scratch Wiki and decided to contribute. Reception wikis like these are everywhere, good or bad.

Soon, I then noticed some suspicious activity on the main page's talk-page. After finding some of the users responsible, it led me to a site known as the Amazing Scratch Projects wiki.

There was also a user, PowerDagger15, who had attempted to vandalise the wiki before being blocked (and later said "Wpetoi is a jerk, he blocked us on that wiki"). I also later learnt that the same user was an administrator on the Amazing Scratch Projects wiki.

Then, some of the users started to I made a blog that told people to not raid the wiki as I had correctly suspected. The same administrator who vandalised this wiki, PowerDagger15, deleted the blog post shortly after it was made (although another admin, WickyHoney, restored it).

I later learned that this was due to a previous wiki, the Crummy Scratchers Wiki, which was reportedly targeting users and somehow caused PowerDagger15 and a few others to be banned from scratch, before the wiki was eventually shut down. To note, the Bad Scratch Wiki is owned and operated by Wpetoi, which was not at all connected to the administration of the Crummy Scratchers Wiki and its creation.

I'll add more to this if relevant. Dibbydib (talk) 08:58, 17 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Bro, are you this angry about your wiki? This wiki should be closed down and you should get off the steward's noticeboard. Plus I regretted what I did. Please convince Wpetoi to close the wiki because the ST will assume its us again. - PowerDagger15


 * Are you trying to globally block me? - PowerDagger15


 * I only vandalized the wiki to close it down. In reality I wouldn't do that - PowerDagger15
 * I only vandalized the wiki to close it down. In reality I wouldn't do that: That's not how that works. Dibbydib (talk) 23:19, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes it does - PowerDagger15
 * Crummy Scratchers Wiki's purpose was never meant to target or attack anyone, and we (mainly me, Pacsonic9000, BlairTheAnimator, and Madelinefan101) deleted any harassment article and blocked anyone that used the wiki to target others. The Scratch Team overreacted and blocked a widespread of users on Scratch merely because they had slight or huge involvement on the wiki, because rumors said the wiki has meant to harass scratchers, even though it's intended purpose was to provide valid criticism. While the wiki could have been seen as exposing, I believe the same applies to Bad Scratch Wiki, because it's public as well. The Scratch Team will most likely believe that this new wiki is also for harassment, even though it may not be. I believe it's best that Bad Scratch Wiki is deleted, and just so you know RacerIIIFury's article was copied from CSW (it's an early version, but still), so that doesn't really help the case of Bad Scratch Wiki.

 * @Sinma15191: I agree with WickyHoney. I think the reason why the Scratch Team accepted the rumors is that the rumors came from extremely popular Scratchers.
