A problem over at Great Characters Wiki
https://greatcharacterswiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Topic:V5se88lch6zd42he

Angrybirdsfan2005: It appears that someone can't write a blog due to a problem.

Vandal
There's a user called "MrPissShitHead Did Nothing wrong just like Hitler" vandalizing. Please lock his/her account ASAP. --Seewater514 (talk)

Now there's another user called "IHateIAmEiji" vandalizing. Please also lock his/her account ASAP. --Seewater514 (talk)

Now there's a third vandal called "IHateShitters (Rev 1)". Please lock that user's account as well. --Seewater514 (talk)

Six (possibly seven) troll accounts
There are six accounts causing trouble on Awful Movies Wiki, their names are "Eop Eovies", "Dop Dovies‎", "Cop Covies"‎, "Bop Bovies"‎, "Aop Aovies"‎, and "AOP AOVIES IS NOT REAL TOP MOVIES! THEY SUPPORT HIM!‎". There's a seventh user called "Santa Claus on wheels‎", but he/she might be innocent despite the suspicious username. If someone can lock the six (or seven if the seventh user is indeed a troll) accounts, I would appreciate it. --Seewater514 (talk) 17:12, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Discord auth edit filter
I reckon Discord/auth needs an edit filter to prevent unregistered users authing with WikiAuthBot ChipWolf (talk) 20:58, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

The upgrade and Beidipedia
Hi, we are having issues in beidipedia.miraheze.org. It looks like some kind of update happened that screwed up the entire site. The site doesn't, seems to regognize the right to left feature of Arabic language anymore. As soon as we click on the right side bar the site losses all the arabic translation of the buttons and the editing tools migrate from right of the screen to the left with no arabic translation of the buttons....It would be great if so body takes a look at that problem, it,s making editing almost impossible. Thanks.Radass (talk) 23:28, 22 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, this should be resolved now! Thanks for reporting! Paladox (talk) 23:54, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

A big time troublemaker
There's this user called Se, who has a history of causing tons of drama and trouble. Currently he is causing trouble on the Terrible TV Shows Wiki and Best TV Shows Wiki, going as far as to send rape threats to all of the users on the wikis: https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Topic:Vdpr9ntk3sjwo96v

If that's enough to have his account locked, please lock it. If not, then at least block him on those two wikis. He also has two sockpuppet accounts called "TheInterneto" and "HellYes", those will need to be blocked too so he doesn't cause trouble through those accounts. --Seewater514 (talk) 16:17, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Update: Never mind I suppose, he just got blocked, and isn't going to come back from the sound of things. --Seewater514 (talk) 19:55, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Wiki with no admins
There’s a wiki I discovered (6 months?) ago called https://crappysoftware.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page .The owner abandoned the wiki,and I managed to revive it.The wiki has no moderation right now,so I request getting privileges for that wiki. --GrammarFixer (talk) 18:02, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Please rename magic to vedopedia
magic.miraheze.org was connected to custom sub-domain with name vedopedia.witches-empire.com. Please change wiki name from magic to vedopedia so the name of wiki would be the same with sub-domain. Thank you in advance. Helper (talk) 21:08, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Add a few interwiki links on nonciclopedia.org
Hello, I'd like to add a few new prefixes in Special:Interwiki that are not actually meant for external wikis but for our own namespaces, since we use them as they were external sites (like the many different Wikimedia projects), and typing the whole namespace or category is time-consuming. If possible, they should be like this: * nd - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nondizionario:$1 * nq - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nonquote:$1 * nv - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nonvoyage:$1 Also, I'd like an answer for above.--Wedhro (talk) 12:16, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * nb - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Manuali $1
 * nc - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Immagini $1
 * ni - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Risorse $1
 * nn - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Notizie $1
 * ns - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Testi $1
 * Um, I'm not sure. do you want to link categories or name spaces (example: Guide:Mexico or Infobox:Mexico)?


 * Anyway, ManageWiki already allows to shorten the namespace, for example you can add that the word "WP" links to the Wikipedia namespace with enter on a new line all undefined namespaces which should redirect to this one. That's the same configuration that some Wikipedias and Wikivoyages have. Doesn't that solve it? Hispano76 (talk) 14:54, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I forgot it was possibile, but it only works for namespaces. I also need shortcut links to categories that have long titles and are ordered by topic (so, for example, "Italia" in the main ns can automatically link to "Categoria:Notizie Italia" in the Nonnotizie ns, because it's full of news about Italy that all have different titles.
 * I edited out the ns I no longer need, but the other would still be very handy. (what about the default thumbnail size?)--Wedhro (talk) 15:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hmm, now that I think about it: ns redirects are typed normally (e.g. ns:Article ), while interwikis are tiped starting with a colon (e.g. ;ns:Article ), right? In such case it would be confusing for editors, so either all ns get "fake" interwikis or I'll just manually create all the redirects leading to the categories I need. Assuming they're not counted as articles eve in they're in the main ns (?)--Wedhro (talk) 15:18, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You could customize templates to use. For example the WP template with the  code would link to the article in such a name space, similar to what some templates do. Hispano76 (talk) 15:33, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll probably do something like that.--Wedhro (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

The rename progress for FireBarrier101
So the renaming progress for "FireBarrier101" got stuck on https://200x.miraheze.org --TehUnobtainableMicheal (talk) 18:26, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, unfortunately (I have informed him/her with the risk on one of his/her wikis, and s/he still wanted to proceed anyway). I guess it needs to be solved at .-- 02:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
