On wikibreak until my birthday
Due to depression, I am inactive until August 12, which is my birthday. Have fun. Leave any comments supporting me. 18:11, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I would like to wish you an early happy birthday Cirlcey. I hope that when you return to edit this project you will be better and I hope that the Miraheze community can support you better. DeeM28 (talk) 07:35, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've now returned. Hopefully, I will be active! CircleyDoesExtracter  ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 17:12, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Patroller granted - 2020-08-31
Hi, CircleyDoesExtracter. An administrator on Meta has granted you the  user group permission, which gives you the ability to   recent changes and new pages of other Miraheze users (both registered and anonymous) who are  not either autopatrolled or an administrator. In addition, this group also means that your edits are, so other patrollers or administrators don't have to patrol your edits. You should also be aware that the granting of this user group is at the discretion of Meta administrators, so different administrators will have slightly different criteria for granting. Likewise, just as it is a discretionary appointment, revocation is also at the discretion of Meta administrators and, again, each will have their own criteria for revocation.

In the medium-term, plans are in the works to develop a Meta Patrollers School, likely led by one or two active administrators, that will provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for patrollers and answers to commonly asked questions.

Nevertheless, the following are some of the main guidelines for patrolling. If you follow these guidelines completely, it is unlikely your patroller user group should ever be revoked. In technical terms, even when you find content that requires deletion by an administrator or otherwise requires remediation, undoing, reverting, or rolling back (if you are also a, of course), you should always first mark as patrolled any revisions regardless of whether that content is destined to remain extant to the page or even on Meta entirely.


 * 1) When patrolling talk pages, user talk pages, and noticeboards (in Main and Meta namespaces), you should first check to see whether the user properly signed their posts using four tildes . If they have not, you should add unsigned by substitution, where username is the user's username or IP address and the timestamp is the full timestamp from the diff page). As a best practice, you should also link to the diff in your edit summary, so other administrators and patrollers can easily tie your modification to the original edit being modified. To speed up this process, you can copy the   user script from line 5 of this page into either your (a) common.js or (b) global.js page (the latter applying globally on all Miraheze wikis);
 * 2) When patrolling the noticeboards, ask yourself whether this topic is on the correct noticeboard. If it is not, you should move it to the correct noticeboard, by either undoing the edit or manually removing the topic (if there have been intervening edits), again linking to the original noticeboard of the topic and the new noticeboard where it was moved in your edit summary. On the new noticeboard, you would simply paste in the topic (including the section header), linking to the diff page as in the first step. An example edit summary might be , where  ######  represents the numeric revision ID of the originally posted topic;
 * 3) Also when patrolling the noticeboards and talk pages (including user talk pages), as a best practice, take care to kindly fix any formatting mistakes (such as excess line breaks or incorrect wiki code), per WP:LISTGAP;
 * 4) If something requires deletion, you can add delete to the top of the page in question, taking care to follow the instructions on that template page;
 * 5) If you come across a user who repeatedly makes the same mistakes, send them a guidance note on their user talk page, informing of the steps need to edit and post constructively on Meta; and, finally,
 * 6) If in doubt whether something requires remediation or not, patrol it, and then ask any administrator via their user talk page or at Administrators' noticeboard if any further action needs to be taken.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you! --Dmehus (talk) 03:57, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Investigation invitation
Could you help me find a potentially corrupt looking Wiki and send it to me by tomorrow?--Μπέλα2006🌎 (talk) 00:09, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Which potentially corrupt looking wikis? I looked through most of the reception wikis and I don't see it's corrupt.  Circley  Does Extracter    ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud )  00:11, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Go into some wikis that I can investigate per request or Dmehus for a week.--Μπέλα2006🌎 (talk) 00:13, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * For the record, I did not request that you undertake this. You asked me, in this thread if you could post one thread on CircleyDoesExtracter's user talk page. In that same discussion, I also noted that corrupt wikis does not exist as a term within the Code of Conduct, Content Policy, and other global policies. Any Mirahezian is welcome to look for problematic content revisions on customer wikis that contravene our global policies; however, given your continuing to describe this endeavour of yours as looking for "potentially corrupt looking wiki[s]" and because you have mischaracterized what I said, I have serious concerns about your ability to assess whether content on wikis complies with the aforementioned global policies, and would urge you to instead turning your efforts to other productive wikis, such as your wikis. As you've said yourself, you're always looking for help with your wikis, but I would just note that all this time you've spent on users' talk pages (here on Meta) could've been spent improving your wikis, writing content, and generally being productive in that way.

Interested in becoming a wiki creator?
Hi CircleyDoesExtracter,

Though we've added several wiki creators, including myself, in recent months, we've also lost a greater number due to either (a) inactivity or (b) resignations. We now have only 21 non-steward wiki creators, of which only 13-14 are active in the preceding thirty calendar days. Even without those resignations, I always wanted to see us have ~35+ wiki creators, to best manage the backlog and ensure wikis are created, ideally, within only a few hours of being requested (assuming they have a clear and acceptable purpose, topic, and scope, of course). You are quite active on Meta, and I've been particularly impressed with your  work, taking to the suggested patroller guidelines like a hand in a glove. Moreover, and crucially, you seem to have a solid understanding of Content Policy, so I thought I'd reach out to you see if you'd be interested in either (a) self-nominating yourself or (b) me nominating you for wiki creator. It does require a community vote, but there's no minimum support threshold, so long as there's at least a rough consensus of support with no meaningful opposing arguments. In this way, it really is a relatively low risk way of expanding your Meta and Miraheze volunteerism, which has been excellent, if you're so inclined. Dmehus (talk) 15:50, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Cheers,

 * Ah I will become interested as a Wiki Creator, so I accept it! I dreamed it one time when I'm in bed :P  Circley  Does Extracter    ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud )  17:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * then. I will craft a solid nomination statement and advise everyone not to vote till you've accepted. Dmehus (talk) 18:38, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Awaiting your acceptance on the page. Dmehus (talk) 18:57, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
