Stewards' noticeboard

My request to the bureaucrat at Destruipedia
More than a week ago I created an election to become a bureaucrat at Destruipedia, so far there hasn't been a vote (neither for nor against) as you can see in this link: https://destruipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Destruip%C3%A9dia_Discuss%C3%A3o:Request_for_InternP%C3%A9dia_to_the_bureaucrat_of_Destruipedia However a Perola Maniaco user from Unmeta as you can see on the adoption request page of this wiki supports my promotion to bureaucrat as you can see by clicking the link below: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Requests_for_adoption#destruipedia.mirahezeze .org and until I post this message here on Stewards there has been no opposition to my promotion of this wiki to bureaucrat. I also intend to reform Destroipedia, as I said in the request thread this wiki will have humor articles different from those of Uncyclopedia and other humor wikis targeting more unusual funny subjects like funny names of citizens, establishments, localities, etc. . Hilarious news, cases and incidents and also about hacks, bizarre, among others but this is clear only if I'm approved as a bureaucrat of Destruipedia. I hope that it works out and that I can be promoted in this role so as not to leave this wiki abandoned and to be able to invest my projects in Destruipedia. Yours sincerely.InternoPédia (talk) 04:19, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * InternoPédia Thank you for your request for Stewards to assess your local election request. To advertise your local request more prominently, I've added a local sitenotice to the wiki, linking to your local election request. I will aim to revisit this local election assessment request in several days. Thank you Dmehus (talk) 07:32, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I thought it was just a question of creating an election on the wiki and waiting 7 days, I didn't know I had to send a message here and then you can put a slash on my request and the result of it; I've been waiting for almost 15 days to become a new bureaucrat at Destruipedia.
 * In these 7 more days that have passed, there has also been no opposition so much as no vote in favor (since the wiki has been completely abandoned) although a user with the nickname Perola Maniaco approves of my promotion to bureaucrat so far, you can check the link:https://destruipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Destruip%C3%A9dia_Discuss%C3%A3o:Request_for_InternP%C3%A9dia_to_the_bureaucrat_of_Destruipedia. Now it's in your hands to become a bureaucrat I'm waiting. InternoPédia (talk) 02:22, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * For future reference, I would suggest you use the  template to get the attention of any user you're replying to as they may not backscroll to see if there's been a reply to an old thread or may forget too. In any case, I myself have pinged Dmehus here so hopefully he will assess the consensus of that local election soon.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:57, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * InternoPédia, I will have ✅ your local election assessment request for tomorrow evening in my mental calendar, and aim to handle it then. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 05:07, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll take a look at your local election request tomorrow, with a view to completing it at that time. Dmehus (talk) 05:56, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will be waiting for the conclusion result. InternoPédia (talk) 17:54, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like to know if you have already started analyzing my request for a local election as you promised, as I am beginning to think that no one is wanting to approve me as a bureaucrat at Destruipedia, as I have not received any response so far and for this reason I came to charge and also ask if it's okay to promote me as a new bureaucrat at Destruipedia, what's going on? Is there something going on that I'm not aware of? If I wasn't approved, just say ok? Because I'm depending a lot on Destruipedia to create my articles. without also saying that it looks like I'm the only one going to be like Not Done in the red. Graciously InternoPédia (talk) 23:21, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'll assess your local request tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 08:21, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * InternoPédia, this has been ✅, as a successful election by acclamation, with no local policies prohibiting such elections. Please see my closing comments locally. As well, as you will currently be the only locally active administrator, you will not be able to patrol your own pre-existing edits, so if you'd like a Steward or Global Sysop to patrol your edits locally, please just ask. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 23:40, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm glad I finally became a bureaucrat around here! Many thanks to the following users for their approval,   and  for helping me, and  for supporting the application. Dmehus would like to respond to the request: https://destruipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Destruip%C3%A9dia_Discuss%C3%A3o:Request_for_InternP%C3%A9dia_to_the_bureaucrat_of_Destruipedia which ended as soon as I became a bureaucrat about communicating any decision I have on the wiki for other bureaucrats, I want to tell you that I am aware of this, but being the only active administrator will be difficult, as the three bureaucrats abandoned Destruipedia and I even went to their user (JPLSilva) in another humor wiki to warn about that (among other reasons) but he didn't even answer me and he deleted my message. So if you allow I will need more administrators and even all of you who helped me are invited to the position of bureaucrats and also Pérola Maniaco, AgentSai, YellowFrogger and Magogre because I am also interested in customizing Destruipedia which will continue with the name but I will want to change the slogan to something that has more to do with "Destruipedia" Yours sincerely. InternoPédia (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Has JPLSilva deleted your message? I did not know. He was the owner of the site and I thought he had forgotten about it and still reversed his edit? You're welcome. You can keep the site YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 19:46, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Election
Hi Stewards, we held an election on LGBallT wiki for new bureaucrats because there are no active admins. We left it open for 7 days and its been 7 days and the election is over. Here's a link to the election. Ballmedia (talk) 03:59, 27 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Agent Isai Is this a current independent poland ball wiki and, upon completion of this request, is it your attention to have a local discussion about the wiki joining the Ballmedia Central group of wikis by way of signing onto the Ballmedia charter? Alternatively, has such a local discussion (whether on-wiki, public Discord server, or similar public venue) already occurred? Dmehus (talk) 16:20, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This wiki will not be joining Ballmedia. Instead, it will simply be handed under the care of it and then once rebuilt, users from the previous wiki will have their rights restored and should they desire to join the network, then they can but otherwise, no, this wiki will not join Ballmedia. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:28, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. By "rights restored," what do you mean? Do you from the previous Fandom wiki, or were rights removed on Miraheze? I assume the existing bureaucrat/sysop would remain until they either (a) resign or (b) there is a substantive community discussion on the matter? Dmehus (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, the rights of all the previous administrators on the Fandom wiki would be restored upon their request. As for the existing bureaucrat and sysop, they would be kept unless they resign or a local discussion occurs. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:32, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll take a look at this election request tomorrow evening. Dmehus (talk) 05:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Ballmedia and Agent Isai, this has been ✅, as a successful local election, albeit with only one participant in the election being from the Ballmedia network of wikis. Please see my closing comments locally. Secondly, as a procedural, housekeeping question, can either of you confirm if my thinking that Ballmedia is a shared role account for the Ballmedia network of wikis and, if so, who is provided access to this account? I assume it's likely that Ballmedia Network Consuls and Network Director, which, I believe, is Agent Isai share access, but some confirmation of this would be appreciated. As well, as you will currently be the only locally active administrator, you will not be able to patrol your own pre-existing edits, so if you'd like a Steward or Global Sysop to patrol your edits locally, please just ask. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:06, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

User:Tycio
We need to talk about Tycio. Today, he blanked my talk page on Drawn Feet Wiki and turned it into a redirect to their page for Joe Biden, for no apparent reason other than retaliation for me tagging some of his images and pages for deletion on grounds of flame bait and cropped child pornography. https://drawnfeet.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ThisWas&curid=185912&diff=526808&oldid=526801

As far as bringing up my concerns, Tycio has refused to engage in any form of discussion about them - https://drawnfeet.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tycio&diff=524024&oldid=523958 ThisWas (talk) 17:34, 29 November 2021 (UTC)


 * As mentioned on Discord, you are exhorted to send Trust and Safety an email should you suspect child pornography has been posted on a wiki. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:43, 29 November 2021 (UTC)


 * "for no apparent reason other than retaliation for me tagging some of his images and pages for deletion" is incorrect.
 * ThisWas did not merely tag Joe Biden's page for deletion (even though there was no basis in policy for doing so)
 * He removed all pre-existing content from the page while adding that template.
 * He did the same thing here.
 * TW has a history blanking messages left on other user's talk pages that were not his own a year ago, and was blocked for spamming deletion tags on images. ty 10:34, 30 November 2021 (UTC)


 * ThisWas I would strongly caution against you making unsourced, spurious, and vexatious reports. If you have legitimate concerns of this nature, you should report them to the Trust and Safety team as Agent Isai. Looking at both your global contributions and contributions to that wiki, I'm seeing substantially all of your contributions being unconstructive and blatant vandalism, for which your local block ✅ to me. I would also strongly advise you to consider adopting a more constructive approach here. As well, this seems an appropriate time to remind you of user accounts policy, and to not using multiple accounts in order to evade your local block. If local administration has revoked your user talk page access and you wish to appeal, you can contact them once, but not repeatedly, in a short span of time, via their Meta user talk page. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 10:43, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, but that does not excuse Tycio turning my talk page into a redirect for another page. Furthermore, he also added the image I had gripes about to the front page of the wiki so that it would be the first thing I saw. How is that not considered harassment? ThisWas (talk) 18:01, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * MH:DrawnFeet:Special:Diff/526963 was due to me being reminded of what a fabulous image it is and realizing that the homepage hadn't gotten any new images in a while. The glorious angle of President Biden's foot simultaneously shoves both it's underside (the sole) as well as his toes and the foot-tops. It is the perfect angle, the ultimate manifestation of our dream. The purpose of featuring it (just like why I uploaded it in the first place) was to entertain the fanbase in general and exhibit the wiki's focus. ty 08:24, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Trust me when I say that had I not done any of the things that lead to my block, that image wouldn't be on the homepage in the first place. I stand by my assertion that it's only there because of my trigger-happy nature with applying deletion tags to content that I felt was in poor taste or did not meet my definition of what qualifies as a depiction of a foot, and that what Tycio did appears to be retaliatory in nature and a calculated move to agitate me. If that was his intent, then I say it worked. ThisWas (talk) 21:36, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Blazikeye535 keeps on blocking me.
Blazikeye535 keeps on blocking me. He blocked me from TTSW, BTSW, GMW, RWW, CGW, Awesome Games Wiki, Fresh Websites Wiki, Atrocious Gameplay Wiki, Worst Music & Songs Wiki, Awful Movies Wiki, Greatest Characters Wiki, and Loathsome Characters Wiki for poor edits, and now he blocked me from almost all of the wikis I contributed on. I have had enough, so I am putting it on here. Something needs to be done about it. That's the thing. MarioBobFan (talk) 05:07, 30 November 2021 (UTC)


 * MarioBobFan If the user in question is blocking you locally on wikis you've not contributed to, that may be of concern, but what methods of local resolution have you tried? I would suggest, firstly, appealing your local block(s) locally, or if local user talk page access has been unfairly preemptively revoked, to asking the user on their Meta user talk page. There is also this local central wiki that would seem to be appropriate for this purpose. If all of your user talk pages have been revoked, then I'd perhaps suggest reaching out to DarkMatterMan4500 via his Meta user talk page and asking him to procedurally restore your local user talk page access on one or more wikis for a local appeal. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 10:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * He has been blocked on the QP central wiki as well from my brief check. --Raidarr (talk) 10:56, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I could gladly do that. I've been leaving talk pages open for appeals, or leaving them blocked for a fair amount of time (a week or so, to suffice it). DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:09, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500, Thank you for the first point. For the second point, I would personally strongly recommend leaving user talk pages open indefinitely, unless the user engages in vandalism of their own user talk page, removes prior content, or similar other unconstructive practices. For one thing, why would someone be limited to "a week or so" to appeal? We cannot gauge when that appeal may come, as we have to consider that users have lives outside of Miraheze. :) Dmehus (talk) 11:28, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I should've been more clear. I was referring to his blocks, not his appeals. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, I see that you're up bright and early, even if it's almost 4:00am in your area right now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:34, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I didn't get a chance last evening. I'll likely be in bed early, tonight, though. Thanks for clarifying you were referring to the time limit on the blocks, not appeals. :) Dmehus (talk) 11:38, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I would say I agree with Dmehus here for the second point, unless a user is a vandal or troll. Appeals take time to happen, usually because of a user's personal reasons for not writing right away. However, I will point out that the user we are talking about here has had a very long history of being problematic, as most of his edits were very problematic and he would get very intense when it came to a topic that involved a TV series called The Loud House, and for some spam. However, I would still say that an appeal is appropriate, just in case of any remorse or anything like that. TigerBlazer (talk) 12:23, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

I do want to get unblocked from all of those. I think email should not be disabled. MarioBobFan (talk) 16:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC) Maybe one of you can talk to him about it. MarioBobFan (talk) 00:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I just want to say something here. Can everyone stop referring to TSAEW as TTSW and BSAEW as BTSW? It was renamed months ago, and plus, even if it was still Terrible/Best TV Shows Wiki, it would be TTVSW and BTVSW, not TTSW and BTSW. And also it's not Greatest Characters Wiki, and it's no longer Great Characters Wiki; it's Incredible Characters Wiki now. FatBurn0000 (talk) 08:03, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with this. Ordinarily, I'm not fussed by acronyms, but per the above and because this is somewhat of an alphabet soup of abbreviations, it becomes difficult to know which wiki is which here. Dmehus (talk) 08:16, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Wiki deletion
Hello, could my wiki here be deleted? It's private and has been sitting inactive for a few months since it was vandalized, and I'd just like it to be deleted. -- Waffledogefern (talk) 00:03, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Perfect. Now wait for a steward/admin to evaluate your request, and soon they will delete the wiki if accepted. YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 00:20, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Waffledogefern, as one of only two users on this wiki, the only one of which has been recently active, who has contributed more than 80% of all contributions to this largely empty wiki, this has been ✅ per your request. Dmehus (talk) 07:55, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! -- Waffledogefern (talk) 13:00, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Accidentally removed self from bureaucrat role
Hi. I am the sole member of a new wiki i requested last night. I was messing with roles trying to understand everything and removed myself from the bureaucrat thinking administrator role would still allow me to access to editing the wiki settings. Could i please have some assistance to add this role back to myself or add edit wiki settings to administrator. Wiki is voidsol. Hamishpo (talk) 10:22, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there, a Steward will reset the permissions on your wili and repromote you to bureaucrat and sysop shortly. In the meanwhile, I do recommend you read User groups for an idea of what each group does. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 12:28, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Dmehus (talk) 14:43, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hamishpo, I've now ✅ the  group for you per this request, by resetting the permissions to the default. Additionally, this includes disallowing bureaucrats to remove the role from themselves/other bureaucrats. While other possibilities exist technically, this is strongly discouraged/not recommended, for a couple reasons. Firstly, it is a safeguard to prevent a bureaucrat from inadvertently removing the group from themselves in circumstances exactly like this one. Secondly, by only allowing Stewards to remove the group, it ensures the local wiki's policies and local community consensus is followed. Indeed, even our most active wikis, including All The Tropes Wiki and Meta Wiki follow this process, and have, on rare occasions, made requests via this noticeboard to remove a local   bit from a user. Dmehus (talk) 07:27, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thankyou so much for the help and yes i will stick to your advise! Hamishpo (talk) 22:40, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Recover a deleted wiki?
Hello, I missed the notification of my wiki being dormant and when I went to it, it was deleted. Can I check to see if it is recoverable? 131parkhurst.miraheze.org ... secondarily, is their a level of support where I won't need to worry about dormancy in my wiki? Best, Mark Dilley markwdilley@undefinedgmail.com User:MarkDilley 02:30, 3 December 2021 (UTC)


 * If you ask for an exemption and get it (usually granted for wikis with low editing and a fair bit of static content), the question of Dormancy is deferred until otherwise noted (activity picks up, content falls into disuse, nobody at all takes a look forever, and so forth). --Raidarr (talk) 09:24, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * In addition to the above, I would also note that Dormancy Policy exemptions are not permanent. Though they've typically be granted indefinitely, they may be removed where the wiki no longer requires an exemption, either in terms of local activity on the wiki, content, or other reasons. Dmehus (talk) 07:48, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * MarkDilley, I have now ✅ your  per this request. Please ensure you make either (a) a logged action or (b) an edit locally on the wiki before the next automated daily run of the wiki closure/deletion script (about five hours from now) otherwise your wiki will be reclosed due to the script not seeing any local log actions/edits in RC on your wiki. Should you miss this, you can just reopen your wiki again in Special:ManageWiki, which would then count as a locally qualifying RC. Dmehus (talk) 07:44, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you Dmehus & Raidarr. I would like to a) request an exemption for this wiki and b) do wonder if their is a level of support that comes with a number of exemptions for wiki.  Best,  MarkDilley 16:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Update on the two vandalism accounts
A few weeks ago, I told you about two accounts named TBC280 and TBC230 who appear to be vandalism-only accounts. I did some further investigation and noticed that TBC230 made a few wiki requests about wikis that he described as being for random images. TBC230 requested a wiki called "Tiky Wiki" twice and TBC280 requested a wiki with the same name once, meaning these users are clearly the same person. TBC230 recently requested a wiki called "Spong Wiki" to be created. After investigating the wiki, it seems to just have random images and does not have any actual pages. The main page hasn't even been replaced yet, meaning these users seem to just be uploading random images. Also, TBC230 requested a wiki for random images twice, meaning these users do not appear to be making any constructive contributions and are just vandalism accounts, and they are clearly the same person judging by the fact that their contributions and behavior are identical. I would recommend locking both accounts and also closing Spong Wiki since it has no real content. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:08, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Global Lock Request
Recently, a user named DarthXiao has been blocked on many of the Qualitipedia wikis for wishing death upon groups of people, and has been sending some questionable messages to the user King Dice, with these screenshots she has sent me being proof of that. I think this is enough of an offense to warrant a global lock for DarthXiao, so I was wondering if the stewards could look into this. TigerBlazer (talk) 22:17, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Wait a minute!.. Unless the user is not on meta, remember to link their Miraheze meta-wiki page. TylerMagee (talk) 09:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Well they're reporting a user that's vandalising on other wikis so it makes sense that they link to that user's userpage on that wiki Anpang   Talk   Stuff  09:22, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Just in case it's necessary to have the user's Meta account linked, here it is: DarthXiao. <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,crimson,indigo, #ADD8E6); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Marxo Grouch (talk) 18:46, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That is a red link, possibly there is no miraheze meta-wiki user page for the user. Global user pages are hosted on Login Wiki. TylerMagee (talk) 15:27, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * For and ; the specific user page is not important except in presenting evidence. The name is used to a) review the account (for example, get a brief glimpse of the various contributions manually and see what the account does) and then b) take further action as necessary. For courtesy links I would suggest linking the user's CentralAuth, which in this case would be here. Though as long as the user in question is clear and the evidence is provided, a GS or Steward will have what they need to take action. If anything I would say specific diffs or other links to where activities took place to review for evidence would be most useful instead of screenshots. --Raidarr (talk) 17:47, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Are they continuing this among multiple wikis? From a quick view, I can't see anything public to support a lock besides the private messages that I am unable to review outside of the screenshots. If this is localised and now effectively prevented, I am tempted to leave it with the local block only. John (talk) 18:13, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * From what I know, he is only doing it on QP, as those are the only wikis he is registered on. He is also registered on Real Life Villains Wiki, but I'm unsure of his activity there. TigerBlazer (talk) 18:38, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Globally lock Thatnickperson
User Thatnickperson repeatedly requested a  four times recently, all of which use nonsense wikinames (they all match the 4 wiki requests).

Usually... Is nonsense banned on all Miraheze and non-Miraheze wikis? If so, please globally lock Thatnickperson. TylerMagee (talk) 23:26, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I have given them a notice on their talk page. -- Cheers, Bukkit ( Talk • All Contribs ) 23:48, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe you can setup warnings about self-duplication of wiki requests? TylerMagee (talk) 09:11, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I feel like a global ban is not required for that. Just a few warnings and make the user unable to make new RequestWikis should do it. And, are the 4 requests exactly the same (excluding comments)? Then it's probably a form submission glitch. That happens normally. Anpang   Talk   Stuff  09:24, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Try checking Special:RequestWikiQueue and search for DECLINED requests whose database name is . TylerMagee (talk) 10:57, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * From my point of view, I don't see a need of the global lock/ban and the valid reason to report someone to the SN. I don't see any nonsense or malice here. Thatnickperson is pretty new here. I don't think any action is required. --Magogre (talk) 11:37, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * To add to what Magogre has said, a global lock in this case would sound pretty harsh, unless the user resorts to cross-wiki vandalism and/or sockpuppetry in some form. There's no need to bite a newcomer, as he hasn't really done anything disruptive. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:41, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Likewise. There's a natural process here, and it's to ask about it first. --Raidarr (talk) 12:37, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Please assume good faith. Global locks are generally only given out in cases of cross-wiki vandalism, long-term abuse, Terms of Service violations, and similar types of things. If we were to lock users for little errors, you yourself would have been locked for welcoming users incorrectly but we don't. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:32, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry. We might just stop this discussion, mark it as ❌, and archive it. TylerMagee (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Issues with inactivity
Hello. I had created a wiki on this service, miraheze, and i had connected it to my own domain and such as well. I have been fairly inactive, because i've been having a severe burnout, and a few personal issues that i don't wish to disclose.

I have returned to see about writing some stuff to my wiki, however, i gotten a large warning saying, that my wiki was inactive. It says that i can lose the wiki if i'm inactive....

The thing is, the wiki was never meant to be public. It was meant to allow me to write stories for my characters, and of course, as one would imagine, that takes a very long time!

Due to me being MIA, i had been unable to write to the wiki. I am the only editor in the wiki as well, so no one else can keep it active.

I have a fear that i may need to delete the wiki, as, i don't want someone else to be able to access it. If i ever have any other editors, it would be my friends or family.

The reason i am wanting to keep it private, is due to what my wiki is. It's about my characters that i have created, and i like to make skits and such with them, i don't want anyone else to be able to write about them on the wiki, because, well they wouldn't know what to write, and, i wouldn't want them to write bad stuff either, i like to have full control over it.

As such, i also don't want to lose access to it, because i uploaded my own artwork and logos to it.

I know it's inactive, but honestly, it really is suppose to be inactive. It was never meant to be something that has hundreds of articles every day, compared to something like Wikipedia.

I had followed the popup's instructions, by going to the webpage that it mentions, and i had disabled "Inactivity" I would like to know if there is any way to get rid of the inactivity warning, as i do really wish to keep the wiki even if it is inactive.

I hope you guys could help me.

Thank you, kind regards ~Skye Kind regards, Chloe. (talk) 04:27, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

 * In this noticeboard, create a new topic, in the topic put in why you want your wiki to be excempt from deletion and the wiki you want to be excempt from deletion. And maybe name the topic something like "Dormancy policy excemption" Anpang   Talk   Stuff  08:54, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Also, I already asked a steward a question (I think it was Doug), he gave me permission to help with the Steward Noticeboard and Administrators Noticeboard. When you think you can help, it doesn't matter if you're CN or SN. But I opine and wait for a steward to rate even so.

Permissions error with my new wiki
Hi, I recently requested a new wiki kaslainiawiki at kaslainia.miraheze.org. An error during creation has meant I don't have any permissions on my new wiki. I therefore need to be promoted on it to administrator and bureaucrat manually. Thank you! Gonow32 (talk) 21:37, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy Policy exemption for a currently private wiki
I would like to apply for dormancy policy exemption for my currently private wiki.

For the following reasons:

1 - There is only so much I can take of going back and forth using wayback machine to retrieve the data, I need breaks. There was no xml dump (that I know of) and the way the publisher hosted it was extremely limiting, we editors didn't have the delete power at all nevermind administrator powers. The currently private wiki is a rebuild of a lost wiki (it was essentially deleted when the publisher lost rights to the game and failed to pass the wiki to new publisher) I am one of the original wiki editors and I absolutely despise that publisher for deleting 10+ years of work that the community put into that wiki, (I contributed about 7 years of work before I left when that publisher first took over, I knew they were bad due to disrespecting of experienced wiki editors). So I guess its essentially me taking it back and rebuilding it better.

2 - I'm an active gamer, every so often I find a slew of games that I'm interested in trying out. Recently there had been 3 in a row (one after the other, spending a few weeks in each one, which took up the time I would have otherwise spent on my wiki) this triggered the inactive warning which I then had to spend 10-15 mins searching how to get rid of it, time I rather spend editing when I'm back after playing.

3 - I have a burning hatred of the publisher that I blame for the loss of the wiki, I will eventually have it back to its former glory, once there I will most likely make it publically viewable but not editable unless by admins. I do not want to lose the wiki again. Mystic (talk) 20:58, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Could I please adopt these wikis?
I made a request to adopt Worst TV Networks Wiki on August 16, 2020. 2 months and 2 days later, I finally received a reply from Dmehus and they reopened the wiki. Despite the request not being finished, the request was archived. As a result, I tried to request the rights on requests for adoption, although my request was (unsurprisingly) denied. In addition, I also tried to adopt an open wiki, Horrible Companies Wiki by starting a discussion on the main page's talk page. I am aware that I am not very active on HCW but it is because there is not a lot of content. FatBurn0000 (talk) 07:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I took the liberty of denying the reopened request authoritatively as a user because it was attempting to use the normal adoption process for an already open wiki. Unfortunately (and I know this happened suddenly), the process changed from what you know.
 * For the past few years, rights were not supposed to be given through adoption, but due to someone slipping language into the policy early on they were. This was corrected by John, after which the process became far simpler - the requests for adoption process is to only reopen the wiki, and if you want rights, you need to open a local election to request them. Therefore, the terms of your previous request became invalid and could not be filled through RfA. The ongoing request for comment seeks to address this confusing language (among other topics) as 'adoption' is no longer appropriate.
 * I am not a Steward, therefore I only provide input based on my understanding of conventions and policy. That said, your request on HCW is is okay, though it could do more to advertise and open itself to input with a conventional election layout. However, since the main page is protected, you couldn't do a site notice, and the last substantive edits were back in July by the founder with only minor edits in August by Bluba, largest being this page (per the expanded recent changes page), I would say you've had the lion's share of concern for the wiki since then. I think with all things considered including my experience of your interest in reception wikis, granting you rights has a good case here. But that will be the call of a Steward. In any case, my apologies for the confusion of the process so far. With an unlocked main page, I think you have a shot at a more complete local election on Worst TV Networks. --Raidarr (talk) 11:43, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The "your request" link is broken, just reminding Anpang   Talk   Stuff  12:34, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Corrected. Fun bit of history though.--Raidarr (talk) 12:49, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like to point out that if you are not to active on the other wiki you have adopted, than I do not really see the point in having another one that you could very well not use often either. Just a bit of input I would like to address. TigerBlazer (talk) 15:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The reason why I'm not very active on the wiki is because it doesn't have a lot of content. I am hoping to find a way to import all negative pages about companies that make more than one type of media on Qualitipedia wikis there with all revisions copied, because if they make more than one type of media, we cannot decide which wiki they go on. FatBurn0000 (talk) 20:45, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, could a steward please remove the moderation on Good Software Wiki? There's no need for moderation, and there's so many edits that need to be made. FatBurn0000 (talk) 10:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for 2 accounts involved:


I suspect that these 2 accounts are sockpuppets of Quarrow for one of 2 reasons that I will further explain here: Spongebobfan41422 has directly removed content from this page, and just like with Duchess7he5ponge, the user in question has also messed up and/or replaced content on this page with nonsense or otherwise unconstructive edits. As for CallOfDutyIsGreat, they've replaced the BrainPOP! name with the name, Call of Duty, which had nothing to do with the article (and is also a video game franchise), which the vandalism is consistent with Commando is Going!, and QuarrowInTheRisk (another confirmed duck sockpuppet of Quarrow). Additionally, while AVXUser is considered stale, given that it's locked for being a confirmed sockpuppet of Quarrow, the user's vandalism here is also consistent with the above pointers. Therefore, a CheckUser is needed if they are indeed related or not. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:16, 10 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Talk to the account(s) owner(s) specifically. Nobody likes to receive a check, even if the user has committed vandalism. only if he doesn't care <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 21:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, but that's the problem. Checks against users are necessary with the amount of sufficient evidence, like the ones I listed here. Your dismissive tone of asking me to "talk to the account(s) owner(s)" does not help matters here. The referenced master account in this case is locked, but behavioral (or technical) evidence could be useful. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:59, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Understood your point of view. If he's no longer active, instead a vandalizing user, he won't even know (even if he did) won't even call to verify his account. Most users who vandalize don't care about the wiki that vandalizes. <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 22:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for understanding that, but I'd like you give this article a good read. Even if the master account is stale, sometimes, you might just find the same IPs that they may use to go around a block or global lock. They may use proxies or other underlying IP addresses to pick up where they left off. A good piece of advice from a wiki creator such as . CheckUsers are here for the purpose of fighting vandalism, spambots, sockpuppetry and determine whether or not the user(s) in question has sent an email using the MediaWiki email feature. Hope that helps. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:39, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅ (of those you identified at the top of this thread), in accordance with user accounts policy (as well as for the crosswiki vandalism Reception123 identified previously). With regard to the other one, can you please identify specifically how this user is likely related to Quarrow? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:53, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, not a problem. As for Spongebobfan41422, he, along with another locked Quarrow sockpuppet account have frequented on this page, constantly vandalizing pages like this. Not sure if this is sufficient enough to warrant another check for comparison, but yes, previous Quarrow sockpuppets have targeted this page which happens to be ROBLOX-related stuff. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:04, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hold on, I knew I was also missing something as well: This user also vandalized this page on ROBLOX, appearing to overlap with Elsagate and AGWQuarrow's vandalism on the same page too. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:10, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 Thanks. I've seen that. While it's vandalism, perhaps soft-ish vandalism except for the page blanking which is definitely blatant vandalism, the edits are not really anything like Quarrow's (and socks)'), as far as I can tell. So it seems that particular page is attracting vandalism from two likely different users. They may well be the same user, but I wouldn't know that and the behavioural evidence is not sufficient, in my view, to warrant a check of Spongebobfan41422. Thus, all I can suggest is, firstly, that you provide a local warning to Spongebobfan41422, leaving their user talk page open for appeal, and advise them against creating further accounts, per user accounts policy, to evade their local blocks. Secondarily, as a recommendation, given the persistent vandalism by apparently multiple people, I'd suggest locally protecting the page at either  or , at least for between 1-3 months or so. Dmehus (talk) 02:10, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, then perhaps a warning or guidance will suffice, so we can avoid confusion in the future. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:11, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. SGTM. This can be ✅ then. Dmehus (talk) 02:15, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Removal of Southparkfan's bureaucrat rights on Meta (Steward reuqest)
I've spoken to Southparkfan via IRC and he has indicated that he no longer wishes to hold administrator and bureaucrat rights on Meta. As Meta bureaucrat, I'm unable to remove bureaucrat and as such am requesting a Steward does so per the resignation. Once again, I thank Southparkfan for everything he's done here, including as Meta administrator and bureaucrat. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 12:23, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Add an advert about my bureaucrat request on humorpediawiki
I requested adoption for the  which was closed under the Dormancy Policy. The request itself was marked as ✅ (trust me, John marked it as that), but I require local bureaucrat permissions on the wiki. It is advertised on the main page which has no protection, but it needs to be moved onto MediaWiki:Sitenotice. I cannot edit that page though, as the MediaWiki namespace is only editable by interface administrators on the wiki. TylerMagee (talk) 17:36, 13 December 2021 (UTC)


 * The wiki has no editors other than yourself so therefore there would not be much need or sense in having a sitenotice. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:07, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Global lock request | Username Policy violations from Wikimedia
The user Wikimedia is violating the Username Policy by stealing trademark names. I request a global lock for the account with the exact name. TylerMagee (talk) 19:28, 13 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Where did you find this account? You could even ask her to change the name in Special:GlobalRenameRequest. Yet this account was created a year ago. Since there were seven edits on a wiki, none of them vandalism <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 19:35, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Whoa, hold it. That account hasn't been active for about 19 months, ever since May 22nd, 2020 (which was their last edit from their last activity). DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:36, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Possibly in Special:CentralAuth's user list. It appears just for help, and I detected "Wikimedia". Well, the Wikimedia name is a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation. I have also created a talk page for them and told them to do that. TylerMagee (talk) 21:03, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Accounts with bad usernames get a block after some period of time. I had an alt account with a username policy invalid name, Mirahexe, and I just requested for it to be changed and unblocked. So Tyler's probably correct here? The account isn't active and trademark names aren't enfored too much so they may be not correct. <span style="display:inline-block;border:2px solid #bfff00;border-radius:8px;background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom right, #75ff75, #ffff80)"> AP 📨 06:58, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * In my view, "Wikimedia" would indeed probably not be a username that we'd want to have on here as it's the name of an organization and I'm quite certain that the user isn't affiliated with it. However, in every case other than bad faith/clear vandalism the policy states that accounts should be " warned, linked to this policy and invited to change their username" and not directly locked, so the request to lock now is . I additionally ask TylerMagee to not issue warnings under this policy and to leave that to CVT members. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:06, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

May you disable my account?
I don't like miraheze much anymore and I wanna have my account turned off Gaemer (talk) 20:43, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

special:RequestWikiQueue/21856
kakukoka.miraheze.org(special:RequestWikiQueue/21856: It's recently created) is too similar to kakukokka.miraheze.org(special:RequestWikiQueue/7528: It was created several years ago and I've hosted), and they are difficult to distinguish. So I'd like kakukoka.miraheze.org to be changed. Regards. 閲覧者 (talk) 07:00, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Removal of Inactive wiki creators
In accordance with the policy I am requesting that a Steward removes the following creators for inactivity:
 * CircleyDoesExtracter - last Meta edit on 10 September 2021 - Considered as a de facto resignation as the profile indicates "I'm not active. That's all."
 * Integer - last Meta edit on 16 August 2021 - last wiki creation 12 February 2021 - last global edit (as far as what my investigations indicate) August 2021 DeeM28 (talk) 09:08, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
