 * I have no relation to きじゅはレスバ大将. I am absolutely innocent. I now have only one account registered. Please investigate. AkiGoto (talk) 06:44, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 虎之介, perhaps you should explain the meanings of the name "きじゅはレスバ大将". The name is too difficult for the people other than native Japanese. AkiGoto (talk) 06:47, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I do understand what have been said. I do not know what have not been said. --AkiGoto (talk) 00:05, 27 December 2022 (UTC)


 * (back)I assure English-speaking people that "きじゅはレスバ大将" is a derogatory name for a particular user. If you translate it into plain English,「 Kiju is a guy who always many replies(I don't like)」.
 * It may be translated to "Kiju is the disputer king". --AkiGoto (talk) 00:45, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

I doubt the relationship between the two accounts that were active late at night when most Japanese were not active. In this case, the parties' counterarguments are irrelevant.Please check user.

Real Life Villains Wiki Potential Content Policy Violations?
At least 95% of the pages on there, do not have a source for reference. Considering that this wiki also features Internet users, I believe the wikis need to be warned for not having references to what they did wrong (EX: News report, or Wikipedia info) and they should delete pages that do not have sources. Nidoking (talk) 19:47, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Moved to wiki reports. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 20:37, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with Nidoking, there are some pages throwing the kind of accusations you don't want to throw without solid references. Some sanction is in order. OrangeStar (talk) 21:27, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you provide some examples? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There are various pages on there that don't have any references at all, like this page for example https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/wiki/Jake_Martin and https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/wiki/Heather_Martin Nidoking (talk) 11:56, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Any update? Nidoking (talk) 14:41, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * All the wiki really. When it covers relatively unknown living people being accused of stuff like child abuse, murder, and all that, it shouldn't assume that these are common knowledge, they should include solid references for such claims. OrangeStar (talk) 19:48, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe at this juncture it would be ideal to raise the idea locally and see how receptive local managers are to cleaning up sources. Seeing how willing they are on this in public could give Stewards some ground to raise this topic as a priority if their intervention is required. --Raidarr (talk) 15:42, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll give that a try. OrangeStar (talk) 19:33, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Listen, what the wikis say will be heard of, and people will use that as their source much more than anything else.
 * If you're gonna go out of your way to get a wiki meant to educate people about real life villains and why people should not be them, then that means you are enabling bad people. RoboticBloxxer (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The concern raised here is that the wiki is mostly unsourced. Given that it has many articles dealing with people, this could be a potential violation of CP 3 (and anyway, ignoring whatever the policy may say, it's best to include sources for the claims in any article whenever it's dealing with real life stuff, be it living people or other things). It's not our intention to enable bad people. OrangeStar (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * To be honest it looks like you missed a few words and that muddles the point you were making but I assume you are implying that people trying to hold the wiki accountable are enabling bad people.
 * The problem with 'what the wikis say will be heard of' is that 'heard of' is literally hearsay. I can make up whatever crap I want and put it on the wiki. As long as it's obscure or I can whip out minority arguments/political buzzwords to support it, it's good and with the right timing it probably won't be challenged. If there wasn't a wide internet with thorough and better backed up information that demonstrates why people are 'bad' (between more objective sources as Wikipedia with a deliberate neutral tone, and blogs/journalism going into the nasty details), perhaps your implication of social benefit would hold more value. But it doesn't. The wiki brings little overall benefit and even less so if it's too lazy to back itself up and it's a sludge of what people think or remember. Your post enables and excuses lazy writing that can just as well enable harassment. That is the concern involved here.
 * If 'look just google it' is what you are implying as the reason to sustain the wiki then you've failed to even demonstrate why the wiki should exist. If arbitrary 'oh I heard about it' is good enough to sustain the wiki content then it might as well be closed now. I'd rethink this approach.
 * I'm probably going to be gone by the time you reply, so this is my final 2c on the matter. I don't even think the wiki is quite that much of a problem to warrant closure or direct intervention but your "defense" here does a disservice. --Raidarr (talk) 13:09, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That wiki must be closed due to lack of management and any other problems. Also there already Wikipedia which had more accurate information. Nirmanyu9 (talk) 22:49, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Bureaucrats permission issue
Hello, when i started to tweak and edit my wiki, i removed the bureaucrats cuz i thought it was a decoration/example group rather than actually being a group that gave me almost every permission on my wiki which i deleted in my wiki and i can't modify proprely anymore.

Is it possible to revert this action or to restore to default settings in my wiki please?

 * I'm not sure why you thought bureaucrat was an example group. It is one of the default groups of MediaWiki, and it gives you access to ManageWiki. If you do decide to delete the bureaucrat group in the future, make sure you create another group with  rights and assign yourself to that group first. Tali64³ (talk) 23:50, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

VisualEditor Problems
Can I ask Stewards to help me adjust the VisualEditor's options?

In my Wiki VisualEditor extension, no matter how I set the Settings, there is always only an Edit Source button in the upper function bar. The Edit button that normally enters VisualEdit Mode does not appear. This is a terrible problem. Because of this problem, it is very inconvenient to edit (currently only appended after the address bar  to enter visual editor mode normally. This is a tricky process.)

Maybe there's something wrong with the extension Settings? I tried to re-add the extension and adjust the Settings in the parameter Settings, but the "visual Editor Mode" Edit Button did not appear properly.

If can, can Stewards help adjust it to display the Edit and Edit Source buttons properly?

Thank you very much! Sucrose Fans Rosalina129 14:16, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
