I don't understand why my request for a wiki was denied.
I requested a wiki, and I got a notice. I can't read the whole notice because it's cut off and when I try to visit the location of the notice it says there is "no special page". It says it was denied because "Forking the existing wiki (for possible block evasion)." However, I never got blocked on such a wiki and that wiki does not exist, to my knowledge. Here's proof: https://toxicfandomusers.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze

I may have confused whoever handled my request, so I will clarify. My friends wanted me to write an article about a very bad user on this wiki, but I can't because it's about bad fandoms, not bad users. I was never blocked on a Miraheze wiki and I just want to write an article for my friends that I can't do unless I get the wiki I requested. So, may I please get it eventually?

Right now I feel like my request was handled poorly, and please correct me if I am wrong. WickyHoney (talk) 05:46, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit: I found out that by clicking on "Visit request" on my notice directed me to "Special:Special:RequestWikiQueue/10562" instead of "Special:RequestWikiQueue/10562". I have now edited the request to clarify some things. WickyHoney (talk) 05:58, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit: The situation has been resolved, and I am sorry to have sounded impolite during newer messages. WickyHoney (talk) 04:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

How restrict access for all users to talk namespaces
Wiki: magic.miraheze.org

We would like to keep our copyrights and heavy censorship on content. We do not need extra attention to talk namespaces. How we can disable access or delete or hide all TALK namespaces ? Thanks in advance. Helper (talk) 22:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * You can fully protect the namespaces through Special:ManageWiki/namespaces to prevent edits. As for viewing talkpages, perhaps you can add a javascript to automatically redirect viewers to the main content.-- 06:23, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Please enable the extension “Wikibase: Client” on my wiki

Issues with the MediaWikiChat extension
I've spotted at least 2 issues with the MediaWikiChat extension. The first problem is that administrators are unable to ban users from using chat by giving them the "blockedfromchat" permission. And bureaucrats are unable to use the (managewiki) permission to allow themselves or other usergroups to assign users the said permission.

The second problem is that the MediaWiki:Smileys page isn't working, as it isn't allowing the emotes to appear via Chat. I would appreciate it if these issues could be addressed. Particularly the first one, which I assume is the easier one of the two. ― C.Syde (talk  | contribs ) 05:40, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. It would be preferable if you opened a task on Phabricator as this matter is not for Stewards. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 07:04, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Renaming Problem
Hello. This is my backup account that I'm temporarily using. So the renaming process from ZapperGlaze49 to TheChisatoFan got stuck at receptionflamewars.miraheze.org and it has been like that for a few hours already. Can you please help me fix this problem? Thank you. KatFan55 (talk) 12:24, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Question
The Question is, is it possible for a steward to be impeached, and if the steward is impeached, then the steward loses their power.

-RoboticJeffy
 * Yes, it is possible for a steward to be removed ("impeached" as you say). The rules for the removal of a Steward can be found here. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:18, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism by administrator
Users Lipomir and Bloodia have committed vandalism and erasure on several pages within the Atlas collaborative wiki, on which they are administrators. This particular wiki is a collaboration between a few groups. Although these deletions initially targeted the moderation team for our group, after moderation action, the users have started deleting all pages by our users on the wiki, and removing the members of our group from the wiki. This was done without warning and without the permission of anyone involved but the aforementioned administrators, in what we consider a severe breach of the Miraheze code of conduct. If there is any way that we can have these deletions restored, the dormant status removed and their admin privileges revoked, that would be greatly appreciated.

One of our users, Gorbatov was an administrator and retained their privileges, so we managed to save through various caches and administrative actions our work, but we would still like, if possible, the deleted content to be restored and the users who committed the erasures to have their administrative privileges on our wiki removed.

Thank you very much, Valdiu

 * I have revoked permissions of Lipomir, Bloodia, and Szprot for abusing their permissions, and blocked (locally, at least for now) them because of their vandalism. Local administrators can undelete the pages (as well as Stewards) to fix it. I will start undeleting the pages that were deleted yesterday.-- 09:52, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Can I be a bureaucrat on a wiki where there are no active administrators and bureaucrats?
Currently Kjh010206, the only bureaucrat on 자유반달위키 was globally locked, and other administrators don't edit after 2016. The wiki doesn't seems to be moderated.

Also, on 리센티아 위키, Suneungsiheom, the only administrator on 리센티아 위키 stated that the wiki is discontinued and blocked themselves. Most of contributions on that wiki are just vandalism, like this.

Therefore I want to start managing the wiki instead. Please consider granting the bureaucrat permission on those wikis. Thank you. - P1av0rSe01Complaint? 00:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Wiki not setup properly
Hi there!

I've just had a wiki setup for me, but received a message from The Pioneer about some technical difficulties:

"Hi, I have created your wiki per request, but it looks like the permissions weren't transferred successfully due to technical errors. Please visit the wiki to create a local account there, and file a request on stewards' noticeboard so that we can fix it. Sorry for your inconvenience.--開拓者 (The Pioneer)"

When I visited the wiki, I got a 404 page, and couldn't see a way to create a local account. Can I get some assistance please?

The wiki is here: https://formaskevent.miraheze.org/wiki/

Thank you so much!
 * I had a typo to the link, the correct URL is: https://foxmaskevent.miraheze.org/wiki/ . You can visit there, and then I can set up your permissions manually.-- 05:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi again! I've just edited the main page. Will that be enough for you to fix the permissions with? (Oatsfear)
 * Yep, and now it's ✅ :)-- 06:33, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Permission transfer
Hi, I have created your wiki per request, but it looks like the permissions weren't transferred successfully due to technical errors.

Please transfer permissions as necessary to Sallyno for davshiq.miraheze.org (this should also be a private wiki, please).
