Can you global Rabbet hoal please
He told Stephenfisher2001 to have an unhappy birthday, he also threatened Necropolis saying "don't make me harass you in discord", proof is here HellLord (talk) 09:25, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I've repeated this quite a few times on this page, but global locks are really only for cross-wiki vandalism, spam or violating global policies (such as abusing multiple accounts or an inappropriate username). It is honestly quite ridiculous for you to be requesting a lock for someone wishing someone an "unhappy birthday". Yes, it is obviously not a very nice thing to do but it is no where near to be a "lockable offense". If you feel that they may be someone who is abusing multiple accounts and you have indications of this please let us know, but an account will not be locked for simply saying one not very nice thing to someone, which I wouldn't even consider to be an insult really. For this case, I feel that a local block is sufficient to cease the trolling/insulting comments (the one regarding the harassing). Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 10:52, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , to my words on Rabbet hoal, he's actually a Konstantinodinokov55 alt. He's been attacking Necropolis on other Discord servers and even stalks on him when he comes to various Discord servers. -- H ookuai ( Talk to Nuclear Jaws ) 05:44, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Responding to your message, I would just note that if someone is contravening the Code of Conduct on Discord and/or IRC, that doesn't necessarily translate into sanctions on-wiki. Any warnings, sanctions, and the like should be appropriate and relevant to the channel(s) where the policy violations are potentially occurring. Hope that helps.

Please close
Hello, I would like to request that https://hypopedia.miraheze.org be deleted. I no longer want the wiki project and I can confirm I am/was the only bureaucrat there as well as active user. Thank you. Hypercane (  talk ) 23:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Please lock New XanderMartin98
If you were to look at this, you're gonna find out that this guy has a history of bringing his inappropriate behavior onto the All The Tropes Wiki. Also, this guy has been abusing multiple accounts according to this block reason: "Abusing multiple accounts AND Inserting false information or nonsense/gibberish into pages: Dug up info man is an unrepentant troublemaker dragging his perversions and rule breaking way here. See this for more info:" DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 10:47, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you have links to the user's Miraheze on-wiki behaviour? We can only consider evidence present on Miraheze wikis, as well as Miraheze Discord and IRC servers in the course of potential next steps. As well, such problematic behaviour would need to be substantial and significant and not just occasional problems—that is a generally constructive contributor who occasionally causes problems may warrant a local block(s) or some sort of other sanctions. In terms of global locking, as and I have stated on this noticeboard and elsewhere, global locks are principally used for vandalism only accounts or single purpose trolling accounts where there is zero or almost no constructive contributions, spam only accounts, Username Policy violations, or for contraventions of either user accounts policy where the user showed problems of revisiting existing wikis where blocked and causing similar problems. Even if those problems are present, the user would need to be causing problems on two (three is better) or more wikis. As well, to that I would just add that my personal preference is where those two wikis are under the same shared local administration and bureaucrats as the first wiki, a local block may still be all that's needed. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 12:50, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This should be useful: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/New_XanderMartin98 DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 12:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the on-wiki link, but I would just note that user is ✅, and the account you've reported, XanderMartin98, doesn't exist on that wiki, so there's no user accounts policy violation. It is fine if a user attempts a clean start with a different account and does not revisit the same wikis where they were locally blocked. As well, when reporting users who are not single-purpose vandalism only or spam only accounts, a personal best practice I recommend is to ping them to your report, as part of good due process. You can see the example in the ping I've added to the section header for you. Dmehus (talk) 13:07, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, upon looking into this further, the user you've reported, XanderMartin98, does not exist globally, and the referenced user is only locally blocked on All The Tropes wiki and your Crappy Games Wiki, to which the user has never contributed. Unless you have a second account showing where the user has visited both of those wikis and caused problems, this looks to be ✅. Dmehus (talk) 13:14, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Global ban evading user
I found out that a user is evading a global ban:
 * https://astonishingscratchers.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:OisinFan62ASWReturns&diff=prev&oldid=1362
 * https://astonishingscratchers.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:OisinFan62ASWReturns&diff=prev&oldid=1382

The links added above show revisions where he admitted to be locked. You may also need check the user's infobox on his user page. Waldo (talk) 19:23, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * First, a procedural comment...a user being locked does not equate to a "global ban" or even a "global lock." It just means that the user has been sanctioned for inappropriately contravening one or more of our global policies. Second, you've not identified original locally blocked or locked user account to which you believe this user account is linked. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I was going to but Reception changed the old account's name to MirahezeG something. It used to be OisinFan62 but as I said it got changed, due to ToU. Also, one of the links specifically said the account of locked on Miraheze specifically. The infobox on the user page also says the user is 12 years old and I didn't want to be type it outright because it felt inhumane but it looks like you've forced me to say it. Oversight what I said later, please (to someone who can). Also, I'm new so please be nicer instead of grouchy. Waldo (talk) 21:51, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a random hash that Miraheze system administrators will rename users to related to the UK's Data Protection Regulation, which is functionally similar to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation. Nevertheless, this is outside the purview of stewards. I would suggest you e-mail  if you believe the above-named user is related to a previous user. I'm not certain which random hash you believe the user is related to, but you should include those details in your e-mail message to system administrators. Dmehus (talk) 21:59, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I did that (I think I forgot some details though). Thanks for the help! Waldo (talk) 22:32, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That's great, and no problem. I've alerted one of the system administrators privately on Discord as well. I am sorry if my above post seemed "grouchy." Certainly that wasn't what I was wanting and, indeed, that's the first time I've ever been referred to as grouchy. Nevertheless, I'm sorry if my initial reply was not as well received. Dmehus (talk) 22:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's all fine. I'm sorry as well. I now believe I was misinterpreting the approach and I don't think I should have reacted the way I did. Anyway, thanks again! Waldo (talk) 23:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's great then. Thanks! Dmehus (talk) 23:36, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Cross-wiki deletion request
Please delete https://qorea.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=10. I want to global sysop, but I'm not. --Gomdoli4696 (talk) 12:29, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Are the local administrators on that wiki inactive? If so, you've come to the right place, and a Global Sysop or steward should be able to action your request shortly. Regarding your request for global rights as a Global Sysop, this seems like it may be related to this request. The reasoning for your request is very short, and, if I'm being completely honest with you, your request is unlikely to be successful on that basis. While not an official prerequisite for Global Sysop, significant activity on Meta, monitoring the global abuse log, making reports, responding to requests, answering questions, patrolling, and really anything else is sort of an unofficial prerequisite for the role. Since no one has voted in your request, you can boldly  your request, or ask me to do that. Dmehus (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This wiki's local sysop's last contribute is 1 month ago. Where can I request to global sysop? Thanks, --Gomdoli4696 (talk) 22:41, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Global Sysops do revert obvious vandalism and remove obvious spam in absence of local administrators, absolutely. However, to obtain that role, one typically needs to have significant experience on Meta, helping users on the noticeboards, helping users on Discord and IRC, and helping in other ways. If that wiki is without local administrators, what you might consider is holding a local election. Firstly, though, check this page to see if any bureaucrats on the wiki had made contributions or log actions in the past month. If so, you could ask that bureaucrat about making you an administrator. If not, look around on the wiki for any local policies governing local permissions requests or elections. If one exists, then follow those procedures to request  and/or   permissions. If none exists, then you will need to create a local election page in a prominent location on the local wiki. There you would state the number and type of position(s) up for election, the candidate(s) running, the number of position(s) to be filled, how long the election shall run for (typically 5-7 calendar days minimum), and the required support ratio. You should also state whether the election is declared successful if no one expresses a supportive view but there is also no opposition, either (i.e., an election by acclamation). Once that's done and the election concluded, return to stewards' noticeboard, and post a new thread, linking to the local election page and any local policies, and a steward will assess your election and grant rights in absence of a local bureaucrat. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 22:56, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * But I'm curious how to "requesting deletion" to another Global sysop. Thanks, Gomdoli4696 (talk) 23:01, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I don't understand your follow up question. Can you clarify what you are asking a bit? I assumed you are find that wiki needs constant attention of Global Sysops, due to inactive local administrators, so I merely wanted to suggest ways in which you might be able to get yourself appointed or elected as a local administrator, since you don't yet qualify for the Global Sysop role. If you don't want to be a local administrator, that is fine, and you can report requests for deleting local pages either on this noticeboard, in the Miraheze Discord server, in the IRC channel, or via e-mail to  . Be sure to link to the local pages requiring deletion, and the reason(s) for deletion. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:19, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Inactive Account On Wiki.8b8t.com
An inactive person named VetaVeta has been inactive for a while now, and I'm starting to think that he made another account, can you delete this account if possible? If not possible that would be ok too. MWikiFan 16:53, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌ BOLDly., for one thing, we don't delete accounts, even they are inactive. There are ways to redact and rename one's account, but this would have to be requested by , who is not even inactive, having recently requested to adopt that wiki at requests for adoption on Meta last month.

Lock FortRan98
This guy may have been blocked for vandalism, but however, he decided to send me a foe request for no reason the other day. I don't think this guy should be around if he's just gonna vandalize articles. I suggest a global lock to be in place so he won't cause anymore trouble around this community. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 23:18, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I had a look through nearly all of the contributions on that wiki, one of only two wikis on which this user was locally blocked, and, other than two or three diffs, I didn't see anything that would be construed, in a global/Meta context, as vandalism. There were some diffs that, yes, would be construed as vandalism, but some of the edits were constructive (i.e., replacing one section header that said "why it sucks" with "why it needs to be fixed"). The user could do well to communicate better and explain his or her edits with edit summaries, but I'm not seeing anything that would be construed, from the perspective of global functionaries, as blatant vandalism. There was also this thoughtful, compassionate blog post on Amazing YouTubers wiki. Vandalism only accounts are not known for these sort of constructive, thoughtful edits. It's important also to remember that there's a difference between locally defined vandalism and blatant vandalism in a globally defined context. In other words, what local administrators view as vandalism may not equate vandalism for the purpose of defining a vandalism only account. As to the point about the foe request, well, that seems to be something related to the SocialProfile extension, but would be any user's right to do that and hardly even worth a local block let alone a global lock. So, this seems to be ✅, I'd say, as the user is locally blocked on two wikis, and, on the other wikis, the user appears to be behaving themselves and even being constructive. Dmehus (talk) 01:17, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright then. I guess I won't have to worry about it. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 11:35, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

POWDER wiki admin transfer
https://powder.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

I am the sole user of this wiki to my knowledge. I used to be the admin under the handle Fizlocke but forgot my password and had no recovery email. Please transfer admin rights to MaximoMaxim. MaximoMaxim (talk) 04:23, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, this is why you should always have a confirmed recovery e-mail address for your account(s). Nevertheless, if you only logged in to your Fizlocke user account with the same IP address, it may be possible for a system administrator to (a) verify this and (b) request some sort of government-issued photo identification to confirm your identity. You would need to e-mail  to do this, though. Otherwise, there's no provision in our global policies to simply transfer your administrator privileges from one user account to another. I suppose you could consent to a steward performing a CheckUser on you, but if the results were inconclusive, then they still would not be able to transfer rights from your apparent old account to your newer account, and even then, since there's no global policy on self-requested CheckUser requests, it would be entirely within steward discretion to either accept or reject/decline your request. So, really, your best option is actually a local election. Assuming your wiki has no local permissions request policies or other election rules, you would create an election page on that wiki, on a prominent page, stating the number and type of position(s) you're running for (i.e., administrator, bureaucrat), the name(s) of the candidate(s) running, how long the election shall run for, the minimum support ratio required for a successful election, and whether an election can be declared successful after the minimum timeframe if no one expresses a view (i.e., election by acclamation). Once your process has concluded (recommended to last for at least 5-7 calendar days), return to stewards' noticeboard and, in a new thread, state the wiki address, local location of the election, and a steward will assess your local election in absence of a local bureaucrat. Dmehus (talk) 13:39, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Wiki was removed, and now can't be reopened
My wiki (https://thisland.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) was closed due to inactivity, and I didn't receive any warnings in advance by email.

I emailed tech@ and was told that my wiki has been reopened. Now when I visit I see "This wiki has been closed because there have been no edits or logs made within the last 60 days. This wiki is now eligible for being adopted. To adopt this wiki please go to Requests for adoption and make a request. If this wiki is not adopted within 6 months it may be deleted. Note: If you are a bureaucrat on this wiki you can go to Special:ManageWiki and uncheck the "closed" box to reopen it." I went to Special:ManageWiki but I am unable to uncheck the "closed" box.

Could anyone help me get my wiki working again? Could anyone help me to make sure that I will get email notifications next time the wiki is about to be taken offline?

Please lock this account
Hi, I'd like to request for a global lock on this account:
 * Special:CentralAuth/VosVosKitsune

This is an alt made by a previously globalled user called Zenko just to evade their ban, and it's name is Zenko's other alt, VosKitsune with an extra Vos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1008:b04f:f892:88d8:eea2:887c:4ede (talk • contribs) 19:16, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 2600:1008:b04f:f892:88d8:eea2:887c:4ede, firstly, (Please sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes like this: .).
 * Secondly, regarding your "report," to the extent it is that, you have not provided any evidence, typically in the forum of easily verifiable recent contributions and, ideally, in the form of diffs. As well, much like we discount the !votes of anonymous editors in permissions requests on Meta, we cannot credibly or realistically take into account the reports of anonymous users, mainly around reasons of procedural fairness and due process for the accused. Thirdly, the user whom who note has not been "globally banned," as you incorrectly claim. Their account was globally locked, yes, mainly relating to contravention of user accounts policy on local wikis on which they were locally blocked. It would not be a contravention of user accounts policy for a user to begin a clean start on other Miraheze wikis on which they were not blocked, provided, of course, they didn't revisit and resume similar problems that led to their being locally blocked on those wikis. Finally, I would just note that several of those wikis on which the user was originally locally blocked have now been closed and made private by a steward following repeated, systemic Content Policy and Code of Conduct violations, which went unremediated despite numerous warnings by global functionaries.

Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms Wiki
I was wanting to ask why has Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms closed or shall I say is now a private wiki? What was the main reason for this?! GamingNerdMiraheze (talk) 13:15, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * First, thank you for the question, though this has already been pretty well explained, I think, a little further up. Second, thank you for signing your posts with four tildes . Finally, to your question, the decision by stewards to close, lock, and make private, or delete, a wiki is not taken lightly. This particular wiki had fairly egregious Code of Conduct violations by many of its users, in edit and block summaries but also in the content about users they wrote. As well, the wiki had systemic Content Policy issues with regard to publishing wholly negative and even defamatory content about users. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 14:24, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help, and am I able to view the Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms wiki again anytime soon?! Even though it's private?! Like Atrocious YouTubers is a private wiki and I'm still able to read pages on it, but I will never vandalize them. GamingNerdMiraheze (talk) 14:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Unless you are a  or   on that wiki, you won't be able to view pages, no. In theory, when a wiki is locked and made private by a steward, the idea is that the wiki's local bureaucrats would remove and remediate all problematic content, after which a steward would need to review the remediation and reassess the wiki to see whether it now adheres to Content Policy. In reality, though, there was arguably little, if any, content that could otherwise be remediated and salvaged. So, in all likelihood, it'd end up as a wiki with no content pages. Moreover, this wiki's whole purpose arguably contravenes Content Policy in that its sole purpose is to trash talk a certain subset of so-called Reception wikis hosted by Miraheze and Fandoms. That in and of itself wouldn't necessarily be a problem on its own, but the problem becomes a major Content Policy issue when said negative content is written about users. Finally, since and before this wiki's closure, other wikis around which this wiki's negative content revolved have also been closed. So, this is, for better or for worse (for better in my view), this wiki will just cease to exist per Dormancy Policy. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:02, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Lock Whatthewhere and his real account Mento
This guy has been harassing administrators and also spamming yap just like Mento does. Not to mention, you'll probably see why. He has been constantly spamming the wiki by saying yap, and even mocked one of the admins. I have a reason to believe that they are both the same person, as mentioned here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 18:37, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your submission; however, I would just remind you that stewards and Global Sysops don't have time to do your research for you. You should link to specific revisions on each wiki, and show how the users are related or why or how they are violating global policies. For the one account, I saw a single diff, which wasn't even vandalism; it could be construed as potentially constructive. For the other, I saw some minor WikiGnome-type edits to rephrase page section headers; in other words, constructive editing. They could do well to use edit summaries, but I actually hardly see anything worth locally blocking over, let alone locking. Even if the contributions were block worthy, you haven't demonstrated how they're continuing to demonstrate the same behaviour on multiple wikis (i.e., more than two or three wikis not run by the same or similar local bureaucrats/administrators). In other words, since the behaviour is occurring on only these few local wikis, this seems to be ✅. Dmehus (talk) 18:49, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The above is true, we would always prefer that you link to specific examples, however, I have locked the accounts for being a Vandalism only account Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 18:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , and Thank you for locking their accounts. I knew that they were both the same person anyways. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 19:12, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Procedural point of clarification&mdash;it has not been proven that these users are the same. To be honest, I personally don't see sufficient behavioural evidence that confirms this finding beyond the shadow of a doubt. Dmehus (talk) 19:18, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt what you're saying at all. While yes, it hasn't been proven yet, but the only thing is that they both tended to say "Yap" in the comments section of other articles. Not sure if it's enough evidence to prove this, but that should be somewhat of a clue. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 19:25, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I would like to put in a lock request for my alt account TheSuperKirbyGuy12
My alt account is TheSuperKirbyGuy12 Please lock it, as I only made that account because of what happened back in April, since there were some issues going on, especially when I couldn't automatically log in to this account immediately, so I made a new one. But since May 22nd, 2020, I was finally able to get back into this account. I don't really need my second Miraheze account anymore as I am satisfied using this account instead. Also, before you ask, I lost the password for my alternative Miraheze account. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 19:32, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Does your apparent alternate account have a registered and/or confirmed e-mail address attached to it? If so, then you can request a new password, sign in to that account, and provide the confirmation from that account to self-request it be locked. Otherwise, do you recall having provided a confirmation from that account of your DarkMatterMan4500 account on any Miraheze wiki? It doesn't have to be Meta, but just something we can link to, then any steward or Global Sysop can use that as the needed link and basis for locking that account per your request. If neither of the above, you could possibly e-mail   to see what sort of identity verification measures system administrators may have to restore your access to that account. Hope this helps.

 * Sadly, I can't remember the password at all for it. Why not just lock my "TheSuperKirbyGuy12" account now? Also, it is autoconfirmed, just so you know. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 22:35, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you close this thread right about now? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 23:07, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Regarding closing the thread, there's no need for formal closure of this thread. It'll just naturally not see any replies and be archived. Anyway, regarding your question, the reason is because a steward or Global Sysop would need to be able to verify that the two accounts are linked. I'm not sure if we do self-requested CheckUser requests to verify that the two accounts are likely linked. If we do, it's probably very atypical. So you have no registered e-mail associated to your TheSuperKibyGuy12 account at all, and no personal information only you would know that a system administrator could use to verify account ownership with you through privately channels?

We don't get a lot of requests for non-English Username Policy violations, so a Global Sysop or steward should review your report shortly and action it accordingly. Regarding  , not being a speaker of the Chinese languages, I'm unfamiliar if that wiki has systemic Content Policy violations on it or not, so any assistance you can provide in reviewing that wiki would be appreciated. Are there any problems with real peoples' personal information being posted, or does that wiki post wholly negative or defamatory content about individuals or groups of people?

Nevertheless, stewards cannot go on "fishing expeditions" in their use of the CheckUser tool to investigate contraventions of user accounts policy, nor will they typically look through Special:Contributions pages from a user's CentralAuth.

 * Well, Content Policy has always been a global policy, and stewards and Global Sysops have always acted with regard to very problematic content or conduct by local wiki users and administrators, particularly when the Code of Conduct is involved. Generally speaking, it involved reacting, and taking action on, specific instances. More recently, stepped up warnings have been given to users on those wikis from those global groups, and others, including myself as an active community volunteer but not in my capacity as a Code of Conduct Commission commissioner, as to this pervasive nature of the problems with the hope they would take heed of the advice being given (which they obviously did not). This increased enforcement and awareness as to the systemic and pervasive nature of the global policy violations, which went unremediated, are what precipitated the decision by stewards to close certain wikis. The first of those two wikis I am certainly aware of, as likely are others; however, the decision to close or lock and make private a wiki is not taken lightly. As such, your report would need to be more thorough and cite specific multiple problem pages, what's wrong with the pages, how the problem is pervasive, and the like. It's not enough to just say, "head's up&mdash;take a look at this wiki and that wiki." Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 01:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Exemption dormancy policy for Vaccabolario wiki
Hi stewards,

I'm the Vaccabolario wiki's bureaucrat, asking the dormancy policy exemption as, for your own rules, this wiki, being a Dictionary, is mostly made to be read (and, considering it's 99% text, it won't take that much room on Miraheze's servers anyway).

I would like to add a lot of (text) contents/definitions, after the initial ones I already inserted but, not being sure my time and efforts will be trashed if the wiki won't have contributions, later, I'm waiting for a your decision about the exemption: please do tell me in both cases, if it will be done or not, thanks.

I asked it in a recent past (20200629, 20200731, and 20200911) but, not seeing my wiki listed into Exemptions list, nor an approval/deny comment from you, I'm asking again.

Thanks in advance,

IP leak glitch for blogs when changing names

Lock King Coronavirus UTTP THDTC
King Coronavirus UTTP THDTC has an inappropriate username and needs to be globally locked, due to the nature of the username. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 15:38, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I personally view this as not an inappropriate username. If it were wishing Coronavirus or COVID-19 on users, then yes, that'd be an awful Username Policy violation. But simply stating "COVID-19" or "Coronavirus" in one's own username is not, in and of itself, a violation of that global policy. If 90% or more of the user's edits are unconstructive blatant vandalism, then that's a vandalism only account, but it's not a UP violation. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:45, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, but isn't there a policy against users who have troll-like usernames? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 15:50, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, but in practice and by steward/Global Sysop convention, that UP criterion is rarely applied in isolation. It's usually used together when another UP criterion is violated, or when the user is a vandalism only account. For now, I would think locally blocking, and locally warning, via the user's local talk page, should be sufficient. You should also take care to advise of them of their obligations to user accounts policy and to appeal their local block via their user talk page on that wiki (or e-mail, if talk page access is revoked), versus creating additional accounts. I believe it's important to be both friendly and proactive to all users in advising them of all global policies. Dmehus (talk) 15:55, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

 * What about this one? Shouldn't that account be locked too? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 16:36, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Depends on who is behind that username. It's not making disparaging comments about autistic people, and it could very well be the user wishes to self-declare their autism in their username. It's a UP violation as impersonation if we have a GoAnimate user and this user is not their alternate account. I'd probably warn them first and ask for an account confirmation.

Is it possible to global a user that is potentially putting bias in pages and making biased pages claiming their facts and removing facts from pages claiming they're biased?
I feel like a user (not going to mention his name yet) is making biased pages and adding bias to pages claiming their facts and removing facts from pages claiming their biased and I want to know if that's a valid reason for a global block and if yes, then I'll tell you who the user is. Pacsonic9000 (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I assume by global a user, you are referring to globally locking a user's account? Generally speaking, we lock user accounts that are either (a) a vandalism only account (i.e., they have no, or almost no, constructive edits), (b) they are a spam only account/spambot account, (c) they have inappropriately contravened user accounts policy, (d) their user account name is a Username Policy violation (which can be appealed and unlocked to request a rename), or (e) they have, despite multiple warnings by stewards, grossly and egregiously violated the Code of Conduct. So that reason would not be a reason, no. Dmehus (talk) 20:49, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * So is there any consequences for a user that makes biased pages and adding bias to pages claiming their facts and removing facts from pages claiming they're biased? Can they end up getting blocked for that reason? Pacsonic9000 (talk) 00:54, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a very vague and open-ended question. Biased in itself is not problematic. If there is unsourced information about users or real people, particularly those who are Miraheze users, then that may be a Code of Conduct issue. I would encourage you to read that global policy, together with Content Policy, and see if either apply to your situation. In any case, all reports must be substantiated with evidence&mdash;that is, permanent links to specific page revisions. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 02:29, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Would a biased page that was made just for defamation and uses biased sources be violating guidelines? Pacsonic9000 (talk) 22:13, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Defamation wouldn't be acceptable, per the Code of Conduct. If the pages are wholly negative and meant to disparage the individual, that's both a potential Content Policy, but context matters (i.e., the reliability of the sources), issue (in addition to being a potential Code of Conduct issue for the user(s) that added said content). If it's a community-edited encyclopedia or TheTopTens being used as sources, those aren't in any way reliable sources, so that would be unsourced defamatory information. In terms of it being a problem with the wiki or just limited to the user(s) that created that content, it would really depend on how systemic and pervasive the problem is. I'm reluctant to say anything more, as I'm just giving you this information by helping to clarify our Content Policy and Code of Conduct for you. Obviously, there are context dependent circumstances that matter here. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:26, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Would this page be classified as defamation since it uses mainly left wing sources that are biased and the page is biased and defamatory? https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/wiki/Survivors_of_the_Abortion_Holocaust   Also, they are deleting some comments that are against the page and downvoting comments that are also against the page.

 * Thank you for reporting that page. I had an initial read through of the page, and while it's definitely very controversial and quite likely attempting to incite a highly controversial discussion (i.e., a "flame war"), I personally didn't see anything that would necessitate a Global Sysop or steward to delete the page. It's within the bounds of freedom of speech, around which Miraheze was founded. That said, before looking at the page, I did report it to Reception123 on Discord, and he will review the page tomorrow. However, I suspect it will not be deleted. I would just add the following caveats, though, namely that (a) I hadn't looked at the comments on the page and (b) I hadn't looked at users' edit summaries on the page or block summaries related to that page. So, there could be potential conduct issues, but content-wise, despite being highly controversial and as I say, "flame bait," it's probably not a Content Policy violation.

Delete Qingwiki
I would like to file the deletion of 大清帝國百科 at https://qing.miraheze.org/. I am sorry to file such a request just within 24 hours of the creation of the wiki but I feel that I and others that I aim to create this wiki together will find it a bit difficult in importing template, modules and thus I would like it to be deleted. Sorry for all the things that helped with when creating this wiki and thanks! 谷杭小包子 (talk) 05:17, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Can't Log In To My Account
I logged out of my account SiliconValley 8b8t and now I can't log back in, I typed in the password and it said incorrect, but however I forgot to put an email into it, so I'm thinking of a password reset.

Not just that but that account also owns a wiki called 1b1t.miraheze.org. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Logged out IP user (contribs) 19:55, 9 October 2020‎ (UTC)
 * Looks like you ✅ your own problem. Indeed, request a password reset if you've forgotten your password or otherwise can't login. Hopefully you have an e-mail address attached to that account. Dmehus (talk) 20:22, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Interwiki admin for me @ scpminecraft@miraheze.org
For managing IW entries. I will only add HTTPS sites. Instance (talk) 05:34, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, for now, you can not pretend to have this right on your wiki because you don't meet the requirement described on this page (TLDR: You need to have 1000 edits over Miraheze Network, 2 months old on your global account and be trusted). But if you need to had some Interwiki entry on your wiki, you can ask for it here and a global Interwiki administrators will take the request :).
