Commetia@customcountryhumanwiki
When I requested a CountryHumans OC Wiki, it was declined saying that there was already one. When I tried to contact the owner, (using the link given) the Main Page was deleted. I tried to contact the owner/Bureau, but it kept saying that my edits were going to show publicly once it was approved.) I used a little trick I know to find them on other Wikis, and I contacted them on a very active Wiki. (They have only made five Global Edits, four of them on the Wiki

That was four days ago, and no answer. I gave them very big details on what I would want, and what I would do.

(When the Wiki was declined, it said that I could request to become an Admin on Wiki if it wasn't active.)

What I'm saying is that I would like to become an Admin or even a new Bureaucrat, and "Adopt" the Wiki.

I would like to run a local election, but I cannot edit on that Wiki. It always says when you press Save Changes,

"PENDING REVIEW

'''Success: your edit has been sent to moderation. You can continue editing your version of this page."'''

This happens with every edit I make; so I can't actually edit the Wiki. So, where would I have the election, and is there a way you can shut that off? (So other users who would want to edit and I could edit) Commetia (talk) 23:41, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

The New Reception Wiki

 * Will you be working alone or also be helped by other users? In addition, if this is approved the wiki would remain private until Stewards verify that that is done.
 * Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 21:24, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, I will be working alone. Also that's fine if it will be private. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 21:28, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I think I have asked this before but before agreeing to this, please also clearly describe what the scope for the wiki will be. Something like "just a general reception wiki for miscellaneous topics" would not really be acceptable, it would have to be less vague. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:28, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It is a reception wiki that generally focuses on content that can't be on other reception wikis. I plan to use it to revive pages from the old wiki. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 20:24, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That's still too vague. You could list the topics that your wiki would cover to be more specific. Tali64³ (talk) 22:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this was a recreation from a previous deletion or not, but if I remember correctly, the two most active bureaucrats on that wiki, who were also its most active community members, supported deletion. So you would likely need to gain the consensus of at least one of them. One of them was VosVosKitsune, but I don't remember the name of the other one off hand. Dmehus (talk) 22:48, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The wiki in question was a recreation of a previous wiki that was shut down by its administration. Money12123, the user who made the undeletion request in this thread, was the founder of the recreation. Tali64³ (talk) 22:50, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hrm, I'm not sure it should've ever been recreated in this case. The only advantage to that would be to use the same subdomain, and that's a pretty weak reason to justify undeletion, particularly if the administration of both the original and its recreation supported deletion. I would recommend Money12123 request a new wiki, articulate a clear purpose and scope for the wiki, as suggested by Reception123, and move forward. Dmehus (talk) 22:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, Money can't request a new wiki. The creation of new reception wikis was prohibited per this RfC, so even if he did, there's no chance it would be created unless the ban was overturned by community vote, which is unlikely.
 * The closure of the recreation wasn't done with the support of its administration. It was closed for Content Policy violations because it was forking content from Qualitipedia when it was still technically readable. This thread is asking to undelete the wiki so that all the policy-violating content could be removed and the wiki reopened. Tali64³ (talk) 23:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That's true. While that RfC had a weak consensus in favour with respect to proposal 2, which Agent Isai noted in his close, because there's no definition of what is a Reception wiki, that does not mean a wiki similar to a Reception wiki could not be created. I think in broad terms what the community is saying is they don't simply want wikis created that merely copy/paste content from other wikis and whose purpose set up to merely express personal opinions on why a certain is the most awful or sooo awesome. Someone that wanted to create a wiki, though, that discussed, in a largely objective and neutral fashion, the advantages and disadvantages of would still be permitted, based on my read of the RfC and Agent Isai's interpretation. As to the second point, that was indeed a valid reason for closure, then. :) Dmehus (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * After that RfC was closed, a discussion occurred on what a reception wiki was (archive). It was decided that a reception wiki was a wiki that lists the reasons why a product was good/bad/average, with the good and bad reasons separated into two headers and reception wikis usually being in a positive/negative pair. The RfC banned the creation of any wikis that fall under the above description, including wikis that fall under what you described. However, it would not include wikis that are set up like review sites (each article has several sections criticizing/praising each part of the product separately, with each section set up like a paragraph instead of a list); for example, if the Bad Webcomics Wiki decided to migrate to Miraheze, there would be no issues in it doing so. Although its scope (to explain why certain webcomics are bad) and name are similar to reception wikis, it's different enough from them to not be considered a reception wiki. Tali64³ (talk) 23:21, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * and Something I should also mention is that I'm pretty sure only Maddox121 (the founder of the original New Reception Wiki) was involved in the closure, and other bureaucrats did not get a say and I believe were even fired as part of the closing process. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:28, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, Maddox121 was the other bureaucrat I was thinking of, and they were one of the ones that supported the original closure. Dmehus (talk) 23:30, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ,, and Hello? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * So there seems to be a couple of snags here. The original closure and the wiki's scope.
 * Original closure: I never agreed with it. It was closed without the consent or consultation of other bureaucrats, around a half dozen of them who were simultaneously demoted and stripped of any say. The content of the wiki could not and should not be judged traditionally (more on what it actually was below). It was shut down because Maddox, in his barely active state, didn't want to deal with it - without giving anyone the chance to take it on out of a reasonably wide pool of potential volunteers. I know at least one user was attempting to bring change and acquire adminship. So I would disregard this element: Vos resigned long before the final closure and had 'written off' her right to the wiki's future. Maddox was an unreliable manager at best who never gave the wiki a good chance.
 * The scope: The true issue. The wiki was made because Maddox/co disagreed with early Qualitipedia management (I believe Maddox was outright blocked there and that's how it got started, an unauthorized, blobby fork) and he wanted a place to be a boss. It became a wiki to dump pages that were removed in QP's quality control era. It then became a commentary wiki (ironically at that point, various top QP managers were also bureaucrats here) and almost a meta wiki on top of Crappy Games Wiki before QP central was founded. A majority of contributions and activity were on this basis, and at times it did have meaningful impact on the development of QP. After that, various users entertained the idea of having TNRW be a 'merged subject' reception wiki with different aims to the reception wikis of the time. Maddox ignored these discussions and killed the wiki before they could amount to anything.
 * At this point any merit that TNRW has is dead. I was an early supporter of resurrection and it was a poor idea. It was not recreated with a clear scope and the way it wish-washed from there is evidence of that. Oh, it's the new qualitipedia wiki. Oh, lets use it to dump deleted pages. Aha, lets go back to what it originally was (and what was that? see above). It's just a mess waiting to happen and it always was. I think recreating the wiki would reintroduce fuel for reception wiki problems and violate the spirit of discussions about not accepting future reception wikis on the platform. Let it fade, I say. --Raidarr (talk) 14:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Issue with the AMYTW staff
On mh:amazingyoutubers:Amazing YouTubers Wiki, the staff are, in my opinion, rather lacking in competence and are not very reasonable. To be specific on this story, when Qualitipedia was on the verge of closing, DuchesstheSponge, a bureaucrat who had not contributed to the wiki in a year, attempted to close the wiki. After two failed attempts, he, for whatever reason, decided to abandon his plan to shut down the wiki and started legitimately contributing to it - however, I can't say the moderating has been particularly legitimate. Not long after returning to contributing, he edited the SMG4 page and removed "War of the Fat Italians 2021" from the list of good episodes and moved it to the list of bad episodes without any good explanation - he just said "fuck WOTFI 2021". When a user reverted this, he reverted them and gave no further reasoning to his actions. In addition to this, he also created a page on the SML video "Jeffy's 18th Birthday," which I put up for deletion because I felt it would fit better on Terrible SML Videos Wiki. However, Duchess reverted my edit with no explanation. I then created a topic on his talk page, questioning these two edits along with his apparent rule about the necessity of plainlinks, but he ignored me for a while, before eventually deleting the topic because it was "making him uncomfortable," which, to me, is just pure ignorance.

Meanwhile, thePCGamer, an administrator, is another staff member who has shown a lack of competence. Before DuchesstheSponge even closed the thread mentioned above, they marked the thread as resolved before Duchess could even answer, even though it was not their concern what was going on. Although I cannot prove exactly what they said due to Duchess deleting the topic, I believe their reasoning for closing the thread was that I was "annoying everyone," even though I was asking Duchess questions I believe are important. When I added a second topic about Duchess' behaviour due to his previous complete ignorance, thePCGamer again closed it, questioning why I had to keep asking questions when Duchess doesn't want to reply, and my reasoning why I have to do that is because there is no good reason he doesn't want to reply - it is realistically laziness. After a while, they blocked me because I am asking questions that "nobody seems to care about". When another user questioned this, they claimed that I stalked someone with no evidence, and also used many of the same lazy excuses they and Duchess constantly use. Raidarr and other users thankfully defended me, though thePCGamer has not yet ended their tactics, as they have again closed a thread unrelated to them since.

Pacsonic9000, the owner of AMYTW, although not as bad as Duchess and thePCGamer, still has their issues. They added me to the admin blacklist because I was "annoying" and thought that links and images don't qualify as evidence (which I have reasons for, also I never said links don't qualify as evidence), and also later said I had stalked Duchess (which again, there is no evidence of) and "made him uncomfortable" (which is quite pathetic) and also criticised me for adding Duchess' rant to the New Reception Wiki, which proves that they cannot handle people criticising Duchess, and also called me out on trying to revive Qualitipedia even though the RFC did not directly prevent people from doing that, nor did it necessarily attempt to do so. They also deleted a topic on their talk page questioning their actions, and marked a thread as resolved because I was "annoying," even though the thread was months ago anyway.

I am reporting this here because I have not been able to make any negotiations with the staff, and therefore I now see the only option is reporting it here. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 00:01, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Do you have any comment here? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:18, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you're asking us to do here. Either way, the general rule is that local communities are responsible for electing their own administrators and Stewards would only intervene in internal matters if it's serious enough. Though these seem to be separate incidents which involve discretion so I'm not sure what Stewards could do, especially not knowing the policies and conventions on that specific wiki. What I would suggest would be to try to ask the users you mention to reply to this thread and explain their side of the story/explain why they took the actions they did. Otherwise I would note that administrators are accountable to their communities and shouldn't in any case try dismiss or hide dissent just because it makes them "uncomfortable". Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 13:10, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt that would work. ThePCGamer constantly marks threads made my me as resolved even if it's another admin's thread and they don't request for it to be closed, and the other two are still likely to just resolve the subject with no direct response. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 00:42, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
