 * Apologies for the delay in replying. Your message was, perhaps, easily missed as you missed signing your post with four tildes . Signing your posts helps to identify you and also allows our archiving bot to archive threads. Nevertheless, while don't allow wikis to be exact carbon copies of other wikis (with little or no modification), we do permit multiple wikis covering the same topic. Direct duplicate forks of existing wikis can still be allowed to remain, but that requires steward mediation (when a complaint has been lodged). In order for us to assess your concerns, can you substantiate your request by linking to both wikis so we can assess whether one is a whole duplication of the other wiki or merely a similar wiki covering the same topic?

Could someone block this user?
His name is tntexplosionis321. He won't stop cyberbullying (and sending death threats to) a user named Nguyễn Trí Nguyên all because he criticized him. Can you also block his IP address too? ~ Qubodude225 (Madelinefan101)
 * This seems to have been handled locally at the abysmalrobloxgames.miraheze.org wiki where Tntexplosionis321 has been blocked indefinitely. Do you still require steward or Global Sysop involvement here? When you post on Meta, please remember to sign your posts with four tildes as it becomes harder to track down your post otherwise and for a bot to archive discussions. Dmehus (talk)  02:21, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Request for Deletion
I noticed the Content Policy got changed, so I am now requesting that Bad Scratch Wiki be deleted, as it contains un-sourced information and insults. WickyHoney (talk) 19:50, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Ping in hopes for imminent action. WickyHoney (talk) 08:05, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

It's been long enough, and you said deletion would occur in approximately 24-48 hours, and it's been longer than that, so I kindly request that it be deleted as soon as possible. WickyHoney (talk) 19:14, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Files on a wiki are blurry
For some reason, most files in my wiki are blurry. Why's that? - PowerDagger15 18:58, 29 June 2020
 * I don't remember where we discussed this and can't find the discussion, but the bottom line was: The configuration of your wiki chooses one of several methods for rendering photos (none of them perfect).  The wiki software sends to your browser the photo to render (which is sometimes a small "thumbnail" photo) and your browser renders it.  (I welcome a more detailed explanation from an expert.)   09:37, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. Is it an extension that makes it blurry? PowerDagger15 (talk) 16:26, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I've noticed a problem on multiple wikis where when I click on a category it shows an internal error. I believe it may be a software bug. Is there any way to fix it? Kesner (talk) 15:41, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Dormancy policy exemption to Circleyverse Wiki
Hello stewards.

I am the owner of Circleyverse Wiki (https://circleyverse.miraheze.org), and I ask this wiki to be exempted from the Dormancy Policy. This wiki has content with Circleyverse that will be read by people, meaning the wiki is meant to read. While I will add some content, the pages might not be actively edited. Also, I have a lot of global edits (over 2,000 edits) meaning I have many signs of having activity. I came to Miraheze every day, so I'm pretty sure I am very active.

So would you like Circleyverse Wiki to be exempted from the Dormancy Policy? Thank you. 20:09, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Cross Wiki notifications are broken, and delete BSW
There is a wiki named R and for some reason there are 2 alerts I got from that wiki but since it's private, I can't read them. Now they just affect my cross wiki notifications. And delete Bad Scratch Wiki, since the ScratchTeam wants it deleted since June.--PowerDagger15 (talk) 17:55, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Regarding the former, that's probably by design because it's a private wiki. Was it originally a public wiki that you accessed, watchlisted a page, and thus receive notifications for your attached account there? Have you tried going into your "all notifications" page, clicking on the notification, and, even though you can't read it, clicking through to the URL? That may be all that it takes to mark it as 'read'. Otherwise, it may be possible to file a task on Phabricator, to see if something can be fixed? Regarding BSW, yes, stewards are well aware of that. There's a process that it is undergoing before it can be deleted. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 18:08, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , also https://static.miraheze.org/metawiki/5/53/BSWDeletedMessage.jpg says that Marius is not satisfied making the wiki private, meaning he thinks Bad Scratch Wiki should be deleted. I consider BSW to be deleted as fast as possible. 20:31, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Fake user profiles
Hi, new and obviously fake user profiles are being created and added to our wiki (https://cyberlaw.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&offset=&limit=500&username=&group=&creationSort=1&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form), at a rate of about 5 per week, since the end of July 2019. We have robust mechanisms to prevent vandalism, and the profiles mostly remain passive, but I was wondering if this could be a security risk. They clutter our user list, anyway - how do I get rid of them and prevent them from being created?
 * If you have robust mechanisms to prevent vandalism, there's probably nothing you need to do. If they are entirely inactive or mostly inactive, their revisions will (likely) need to be patrolled (assuming you have Special:RecentChanges and Special:NewPages) instead. Accounts are created automatically just by visiting your website; as far as I'm aware, perhaps can clarify, there's no way to remove unwanted users. Even if the users were globally locked or locally blocked, it would still not remove them from the users list. One workaround you might want to try is to create a separate "user" group and add all users that start actually editing your wiki to that group; it would have the same permissions as the system default "users" group except it would allow you to easily filter out the users who just joined by having visited your wiki. I realize it may not be ideal or what you were ideally looking for in that it wouldn't remove the clutter, but it would essentially provide a way to better organize the clutter in Special:ListUsers. Also, when you post to the talk pages on Meta, please remember to sign your posts with   as a bot requires the timestamp information created by your signature to archive threads. Dmehus (talk) 13:37, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification, this is good to know! Uncleistvan1BBB (talk) 14:31, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Some users that need bureaucrat
Hello. Recently all bureaucrats from a wiki have retired and did not give anyone else the status before leaving, causing the wiki to have no bureaucrats and thus no ability to confirm new users. If possible, please give the users Portrock1566, Inkster and Hookuai the status. Kesner (talk) 18:50, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Are any of those wikis in closed or inactive status? If so, then you will need to use Requests for adoption. Otherwise, if the wikis are all still active, there is a little a steward can do yet. A leading option I would recommend is organizing a local bureaucrat election on each of the wikis, consistent with each wiki's existing local policies (if any) governing elevated position appointments, then, when the election is complete, you will need to come back to Stewards' noticeboard to advise a steward of the completed elections. In such notifications, it's probably helpful to link to any local policies on each wiki, so that a steward can more quickly assess the local elections. Hope this helps.

Can someone look into this user?
I was looking through the abuse logs, and on Procrastipedia, this user has tripped the abuse filter 18 times in the past 48 hours. Abuse log. They keep adding external links to their userpage, which triggers the filter. I looked into the attempts, and I noticed that every time, the external links led to different accounts on different websites (NOT affiliated with miraheze). These different accounts are all with different real names, occupations, ages, status of marriage, and even gender. I just have a bad feeling about this user, and it appears suspicious that their personal details happen to change with every website and every edit attempt on that wiki. I really think someone needs to look into this user, as it may be possible that they are an LTA or abuse multiple accounts. Thanks! --TFFfan (talk) 17:33, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * And one more thing, if they are not an LTA/sockpuppeteer, they are advertising/promoting, and since that wiki is highly inactive, a global sysop would need to block them. Thanks! --TFFfan (talk) 17:36, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I have no comment or position on this in particular, but I'm not sure if is active on either Discord or IRC or not, but often these sort of reports are assessed and actioned (where action is required) more quickly for reports through those channels.
 * Also, I have procedurally moved this from the Meta Administrators' noticeboard as it is of little interest to local only Meta administrators. Dmehus (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I do not use any of those. If you are on them, can you report it there? Thanks! --TFFfan (talk) 17:48, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I do and would definitely do that for you, but I'm not seeing either (a) the need or (b) the urgency here. Do you have evidence of cross-wiki problems caused by this user that are getting past the abuse filters? If so, then I think it's worthwhile to report on Discord/IRC CVT channels. Dmehus (talk) 17:52, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * has globally locked the account. Dmehus (talk) 17:57, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

User:DMBFFF/Dekadays beginning from winter solstice

I created it several months ago—long before June 2020.

Lock Wpetoi
He created bad scratch wiki to harrass underages (YES), and he hates children and wants to kill them. He also demanded FANDOM to kill WickyHoney and Pacsonic9000, and kept vandalizing there. He's also a liar and narcissist and is greedy. He has been causing trouble to the point that the Scratch Team discovered what happened. So guess what? They extend our blocks because of someone that isn't even us. So please lock him PowerDagger15 (talk) 14:31, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That would otherwise be potentially useful contextual information, but it is also off-wiki correspondence. Has Wpetoi provided any on-wiki confirmation that that reddit user account of the same name belongs to them? Even if they have provided such on-wiki confirmation, do we also know that that reddit account has not been compromised in some way? We can't rely, solely, on content posted by users with similar names on other user-generated content sites. A diff on a Miraheze-hosted wiki that confirms that reddit account as belonging to Wpetoi of Miraheze would go a long way to providing this needed confirmation. Dmehus (talk) 15:27, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

 * About the on wiki stuff, he only made Bad Scratch Wiki to insult and harrass scratchers (Children especially). He also insulted CircleyDoesExtracter's depression and joked about it, which insulted him and his fans (including me). He also called me dumb twice and lies a lot. He denies his wrongdoings too and he probably even wants CDE to get more depressed and commit suicide. He denies he has FANDOM and Reddit, even though there's solid proof there is. When CSW was still up, he told me he had FANDOM and reddit PowerDagger15 (talk) 15:39, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I personally find that Bad Scratch Wiki, and related wikis, distasteful and grossly disgusting. As I understand it, BSW is in a process whereby the stewards have notified the owner and bureaucrats of that wiki, and it should be deleted in due course (as I said in reply to you in one of the above threads you started on this noticeboard). Stewards, system administrators, and much of the active Miraheze community (including me) are well aware of the problems it's caused to other Mirahezians, and that's why the community has authorized a 45-day moratorium on the creation of any Scratch wikis. We're also being more active in declining wikis that seem like outright violations of our Content Policy whereby the wikis are proposed to be singularly about creating disparaging content pages on Internet users. I would recommend following 's advice above, link to that reddit post, and he or another Miraheze Staff team member will do all the investigating they can to provide the necessary confirmation between the accounts, and take action swiftly and appropriately. Dmehus (talk) 15:47, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you! Hopefully this due process is finished and this user gets locked and his wiki
 * No problem...I, for one, will be happy when BSW is finally deleted. I do think it was unfair, though, of the MIT Scratch Team to ban the user accounts of users who merely visited BSW accidentally or were themselves the subject of those disgusting pages. You guys never created those pages, so I have no idea why they thought it was appropriate to ban you guys. Far too strict of an action for them to take, in my opinion. Neither of you guys deserved to be banned there. Dmehus (talk) 15:56, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * How long is the due process though? PowerDagger15 (talk) 15:58, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That I don't know. We could probably use some further detail (i.e., general information) on our process of stewards deleting wikis in violation of one or more elements of our Content Policy, as documentation or help pages, so that users have a clearer understanding of the process and timeframes (as they do with Dormancy Policy). Dmehus (talk) 16:02, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * While I cannot comment on the deletion process as I am unaware of what the Stewards are planning to do regarding that, I would like to point out that it would probably be useful to provide further links that would implicate the user in what you claim, so that we can investigate and take action if we find that they have been violating global policies (such as the Code of Conduct for example). The link to the Reddit thread having been removed, it is difficult for us to be able to determine what was said there so it would be useful to have additional links and evidence to what you claim for us to be able to help with the user (as for the deletion of the wiki, that is a different aspect). Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 14:07, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I did look at that post, and I did see it before it was deleted, and it was saying that he hates children, and wants to kill them. A bot removed the message yesterday. The reactions from the people do also provide evidence for what he said, with one user saying "i do not understand, are you attacking children?" This user obviously needs to be locked, and I think authorities need to be alerted. --TFFfan (talk) 14:12, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Without the ability to confirm if the user is in ownership of those wikia/reddit accounts, there really isn't enough evidence to take action on this request. The wiki however, has been deleted. -- Void  Whispers 17:50, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Fix name space of 828 (Module / 模块)
In rs.miraheze.org, (the language of it is zh, not zh-cn or zh-hans,) the namespace of 828 is named "模块" with the alias "Module".

 * It's because the wiki has the moderation extension and the first account is the first one on the list Rainstorm1650 (talk) 06:10, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Another vandal
MRPlSSSHlTHEAD 1488 is a vandalism-only account. Please lock their account when one of you guys sees this. —Seewater514 (talk) 15:14, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the report. Even though the account has only vandalised locally the username violates our Username Policy so it will be locked. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:28, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Lock this account
SchoolShootingsAreFunny1488. Another troll. Kesner (talk) 15:58, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the report. The account in question has been ✅. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 16:06, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

The vandal is back
The troll Known as "Mr. PissShitHead" is back with a third sockpuppet: Suicide Is Very Funny 1488. --Seewater514 (talk) 16:50, 25 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I would like to request a CheckUser for this user and block his IP range. If anyone wants to second this motion, please do. Thanks! --TFFfan (talk) 16:53, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think the likelihood of a CheckUser check increases by community consensus to do so. What matters are the diffs. Do you have some behavioural evidence from both user accounts to warrant the check? That would be helpful. Dmehus (talk) 16:58, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I do not have diffs, but the names are obviously the same people doing the same thing. --TFFfan (talk) 17:04, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, diffs likely aren't required in this case because the username you posted on Discord #irc-relay is identical to the above-noted username. This is duck quackingly-related to Mr. PissShitHead. Dmehus (talk) 17:14, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The ASN for all three of these accounts is being globalled right now. -- Void  Whispers 17:17, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . Dmehus (talk) 17:19, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

I think the vandal has a VPN InspecterAbdel (talk) 17:49, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Have you rangeblocked them? They shouldn't be able to edit Flow pages, as far as I'm aware, if properly blocked. Let me know if you would like help with locally rangeblocking; I can help with the IPv4 rangeblocks, but would suggest as someone to help with the IPv6 rangeblock, as I'm not familiar with that yet. Dmehus (talk) 17:55, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know, I can help rangeblock right now for both IPv4 and IPv6. --TFFfan (talk) 17:57, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know how to range block, I think you guys should do that InspecterAbdel (talk) 18:01, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I will do it. Just can you grant me admin rights for a day, and I will take care of it. --TFFfan (talk) 18:03, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Unless wants to, I'd be happy to do it, if you'll grant me   privileges for < 24 hours. Dmehus (talk) 18:05, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not a bureaucrat on that wiki, so I can't make you an admin. Try asking CircleyDoesExtracter InspecterAbdel (talk) 18:07, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Pinging them so they get it. I need sysop rights on the wiki for 24 hours or less to take care if IP ranges blocking. Thanks. See discussion above. --TFFfan (talk) 18:09, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've asked on Discord as well to grant TFFfan temporary   rights to do this. Dmehus (talk) 18:11, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've given admin rights for a day. Let's see.  CircleyDoesExtracter  ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 18:12, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ locally. --TFFfan (talk) 18:23, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

New Reception Wiki Bureaucrat Request
I was the original creator of the wiki and the wiki has gotten some vandalism recently.
 * You have also posted an adoption request for this wiki at Requests for adoption. Can you give us a few more details here? Firstly, is this wiki still active? If so, then I will close your adoption request. Next, how were your rights removed and by whom? Can you link us to any local policies in effect on the wiki at the time so a steward can assess whether your rights were removed in accordance with the local policies at the time? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:23, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It appears there was an error during the wiki creation process that created the wiki without assigning a local administrator/crat. This is ideally something that should be caught the moment it happens (by the wiki creator), but I've fixed it now. -- Void  Whispers 15:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Can you accept my request for a special:GlobalRenameRequest? It's been about a week since I made my request.--Houyagokusai (talk) 10:21, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
