Problem accessing hamim.miraheze.org
When I visit the wiki, I receive "access error" in Turkish. See below. In a nutshell it says Ha-Mim does not belong to the admin group. Thanks!

 * According to Special:CentralAuth/Ha-Mim you do have sysop permissions. Are you logged in? MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 17:07, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you it works now. I had to refresh the page a few times in order to access the Wiki. I am not sure why it didn't let me in immediately after the login. -Ha-Mim (talk) 23:26, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I take it back. There is a problem. https://hamim.miraheze.org redirects to https://hamim.miraheze.org/wiki/ and I get the error above each and every time I visit https://hamim.miraheze.org. Problem goes away when I click on the logo upper left which goes to the Main Page https://hamim.miraheze.org/wiki/Anasayfa Could you help? -Ha-Mim (talk) 00:07, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Logins seem to fail when accessing the wiki from https://hamim.miraheze.org and I'm not too sure why. -- Void  Whispers 00:18, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Any devs who can shed some light? Thanks. -Ha-Mim (talk) 00:10, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I recorded video capture of the problem. Please check it out. https://imgur.com/a/re8qR You will see that even though I am logged in, when I go to hamim.miraheze.org directly, system "thinks" that I am logged out (see upper right corner). Could this behavior have anything to do with the problem in hand? Thanks agian! -Ha-Mim (talk) 13:56, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Yes, could you please rather create a Phabricator task? It is better for tracking technical issues such as this one. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 19:59, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Request of CVT for AlvaroMolina
Hello everyone, today I come to apply to be part of the CVT and so have the opportunity to address by myself the flagrant vandalism found in any Miraheze wiki that has no administrators nearby.

Although in recent months my activity has not been so high, if I have been trying to devote more time to Miraheze. In more than one occasion in the past I have reported vandalism in IRC successfully and for a few weeks I have constantly monitored the feed of recent changes, besides outside of Miraheze I have worked with vandalism closely (both with the rollback tool and with the administrator tools).

I think I feel qualified to be in this position, as well as having a sufficient level of confidence to work in the CVT. If you give me your support, I promise to work actively in this area along with what I do as Wiki Creator, in addition to only working on wikis that really do not have administrators nearby and are obvious cases of vandalism or spam. If someone has doubts about my experience or wants to ask a question before voting, I am open to answer them in the shortest time.

Thanks. —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔ ) 00:20, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Questions
1) How will you find spam and/or fullfil your duties as CVT member? Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 00:22, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * My main source of work will be the feed of recent changes in the  IRC channel where you can see the editions and actions that are carried out in all Miraheze public wikis, my priority will be the deletion of pages that constitute vandalism or spam evident in wikis where there are no administrators available, as well as to report if it corresponds to users/IPs that carry out these actions persistently in several other wikis. —Alvaro Molina (✉ -  ✔ ) 00:35, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

2) Do you hold similar userrights elsewhere? Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 00:22, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Outside of Miraheze, I don't have global permissions like CVT, but if in Wikimedia in certain local wikis I am an administrator and in others I am a rollbacker, both tools that I have worked with for quite some time and therefore I already have the experience what is required to use them. To become a CVT would also allow me to acquire more experience than I currently have so I can eventually aspire to a similar global permission on Wikimedia. —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔ ) 00:35, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Cannot add global user to user groups in private wiki (retki.miraheze.org)
Hello,

I cannot add globally registered user (e.g. accounts 's_koulikov' or 'ksd4341') to a user group of the private wiki retki.miraheze.org so that they can access the wiki.

That used to work with other accounts before. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you,

--tetzu0


 * They need to create an account on the new wiki (by visiting there once) before the new user is created locally (global user list and local user list is a different thing. Latter (local user) need to exist to grant "user rights". If they do not show up in  in your wiki, local account is missing. Inform them of the new wiki and ask them to visit. &mdash;  revi  10:27, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It may also be a problem that "koulikov" created an account with a capital S.  12:26 6-Feb-2018


 * Indeed, the local account got created after the first login to that wiki. Thanks!

FabLac.miraheze is not dormant...
Hello,

The wiki "FabLac" is not dormant. Please don't close it.

Thank you. Bes regards, Sophie
 * Please sign your requests in future with 4 tildes ( ~ ). Thanks Sau226 (talk) 08:04, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Since I've noticed you have already requested this, would you maybe need an exception to the Dormancy Policy? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:41, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

You can disable or delete this account
I was helping someone who was trying to create an account with an error message when I created the teststerbal account.

They are now able to login. You can now delete or disable the teststerbal account.

Thanks, Teststerbal (talk) 04:17, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ by NDKilla. (For the procedural notes, accounts cannot be deleted, it's just prevented from login.) &mdash; revi</tt>  07:29, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Resigning from CVT
As new CVT members are doing their duties very well and I haven't been really active in CVT work for a while, I decided I don't want to keep the role. Please remove CVT from global/local permissions. Thanks! &mdash; revi</tt>  07:37, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

 * IRC flags need to be removed and so does the bureaucrat flag on CVTwiki. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 21:38, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd like to thank Revi for his continued exceptional service to Miraheze and it is sad to see such a competent member of the community leave the CVT. :D &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  22:42, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Only thing I forgot to do before waiving the bit was complete blocking Azure IPs... but I think it's where ProxyBot can do better than me! &mdash; revi</tt>  17:27, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
