Custom domain
I am the admin of Gyaanipedia. https://gyaanipedia.miraheze.org I had followed all the steps for custom domain two days ago but it doesn't work my custom domain is http://gyaanipedia.co.in please help me Shaunak Chakraborty (talk)
 * File it on phabricator. আ হ ম সাকিব    (T)    (C)  09:28, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes please see Phabricator for how to do so and read Custom domains. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 20:03, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Delete Account
Hi, could you please delete my account? Thanks in advance!


 * Hi, unfortunately accounts aren't deleted. You can change communication settings including removing your emails on Special:Preferences. Paladox (talk) 14:33, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Reporting a vandal only IP
This IP has created pages containing a discriminating sentence. I'd like to have it dealt by local admins, as meta is opted out from CVT. Thanks.-- 04:02, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅. You are free to block in such situations, especially when it would prevent further disruption. -- Void  Whispers 07:06, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, I can technically do that, but upon which policy can I take such actions (provided that I'm only a CVT and not a local admin, and meta is a CVT opted-out wiki)? Should I interpret it as "a local CVT request made by myself (as the local member of meta)"?-- 09:20, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I'd think of it this way: If the user is actively (and persistently) vandalizing meta (as meta is the only wiki where CVT's can still block despite being opted-out), and you cannot get in touch with a local admin in a short enough time to deal with it promptly, you are free to block. This is based entirely on the premise of limiting as much disruption as possible. I guess in this case though, I wouldn't count two pages as being "active and persistent," so you probably wouldn't need to block, unless you are further unable to monitor the situation and think it will continue. -- Void  Whispers 17:50, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Antoine Lemperrière and Corinne lebrouch
These are 2 users we're having issues with in Awful Movies Wikia. They keep making useless categories and they steal and vandalize my sandbox and user page! Can you please lock them? -Chaofun
 * They're technically identical sockpuppets. I've only blocked Antoine on awfulmovieswiki because I'm not sure I see enough reason to globally lock them for now. Two things for you though. First, similar requests should be made on the Stewards' noticeboard. Second, could you please not make such explosive comments as those you left on Antoine's talk page?

Thanks. -- Void  Whispers 22:19, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

I apologize, but that user has done something that constantly I couldn't take it. -Chaofun

Autopatrollers right
I occasionally will on here for doing the Chinese language translation on the policy guideline pages, if got any legitimate translation pages, I can mark those pages as patrolled. SA 13 Bro (talk) 00:35, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Reporting an open proxy
This IP has been blocked on Wikipedia because It is an open proxy. Although thi IP did not make any edits on this wiki, please block this IP. O f reporter </b> Send me a message! 11:25, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ I checked it out on Wikipedia and found that the block there has already expired a long time ago, and it looks to me that the local admin simply forgot to remove his/her test block. However, it looks like it is indeed a proxy according to my research, so it's done per our no open proxies policy.-- 12:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

dumpbackup.php
Do you guys have telnet/SSH access? Is it permissible to ask for backups of our wiki? When I did it myself, I would use dumpbackup.php and just keep the current version, in case anything truly horrible happened. It would probably be impossible to email, but is there some kind of backup somewhere? --Aquatiki (talk) 12:53, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Please see Backups. -- Void  Whispers 13:44, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry I missed that. Thanks! --Aquatiki (talk) 13:46, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Account hacked
I can’t log in into my account, Ofreporter. I want to create a new account to solve it. The temporary password is too complicated. 14.0.153.195 07:41, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In the title you say it was "hacked", how do you know this? As for creating a new account, go ahead. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 07:45, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I knew that my account was hacked because I lost my password. 14.0.153.195 08:59, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Redirection to my user page
This account has been hacked. I tried several times, but it didn't work. So to prevent further disruption to my former account, please immediately block that account and enable all the features (autoblock, prevent account creation, watch user page and it's talk page, etc) that are available. Additionally, I cannot change the user page of my former account because there was a error message shown. Please change this user page to a redirect with it's content only being. Thank you. LegoMaster (talk) 12:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, we cannot do that since there is no way for us to confirm that the account has indeed been hacked / that you are the same person. Because, in this way any user could claim that an account was compromised, so we cannot simply block any account like that. So, this would not be possible.

Vandal IP 2a01:e35:2e16:e540:bd78:72fe:9607:3e8d
Please can someone block special:contributions/2a01:e35:2e16:e540:bd78:72fe:9607:3e8d please. I see that the IP creating unnecessary pages in the user contribs page please block the ip 😄😄😄 Psl631 (Let's Chat!) 11:57, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the pages, but that is not a reason to block, as it appears the user thought Meta was their own wiki. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 12:14, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * OK Psl631  (Let's Chat!) 12:48, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
