Stewards' noticeboard

marbleraces
A week and a few days ago I requested marble race wiki and DarkMatterMan accepted, but the bot sent an error message "Exception experienced creating the wiki. Error is: Redis server error: socket error on read socket" in the request comments, then I noticed algodoo wiki which already covers marble races so I try to cancel the request, but I noticed the error on the request comments and just posted a comment about cancel there.

Now I'm just checking my farmer log and noticed this and turns out the wiki is already created it's just a bit corrupted (no default main page, no notfication to me that wiki created, i dont get bureaucrat)

Also if your darkmatterman next time pls send a comment reminding that my wiki's created, I didn't get notification and you just put "Another bug?" so I just thought its not created

Or is that marbleraces wiki created from someone else's request?

I want that wiki to be deleted as its already supposed to

Sorry for making so many deletes last time I requested to delete 2 wikis I thought those were my last wikis Anpang Talk 07:28, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

 * It was mainly due to a bug causing the error in the first place. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:07, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Anpang ✅, as the only contributor to this wiki, to which the wiki had no content at all. Indeed, your only edit was to edit the Main Page to say something to the effect of "what the heck happened." That error you reported is a CreateWiki bug, or a  bug related to the same. I've reported it on Phabricator, but SRE seems at a loss to resolve it. When this happens, just report to Stewards' noticeboard and request local   and   rights. Also, if you wouldn't mind fixing your signature to remove the line break, that'd be great. :) Dmehus (talk) 01:17, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Can you please reopen these wikis?
Can you please reopen these wikis? https://fantastictoys.miraheze.org/wiki/Fantastic_Toys_Wiki https://upsettingtoys.miraheze.org/wiki/Upsetting_Toys_Wiki https://fantasticlegosets.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page https://garbagelegos.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page That's the things. MarioBobFan (talk) 23:25, 20 October 2021 (UTC)


 * None of these require Steward involvement, at least through the noticeboard. The toy wikis were manually closed by a request for comment process on the central Qualitipedia area. Admittedly I'm not sure why they were made actually private and a proper notice was not placed on them as I recommended at the time. However, per the link I outline above you may request to adopt them as a wiki normally would be or contact if you want to take administrative responsibility. The first lego wiki is not closed. The second appears locked by genuine inactivity, but based on its list of staff you would be able to contact the user, who is very active on other reception wikis and would be able to assist you with this. Alternatively you could start the adoptions process with it. Raidarr (talk) 01:22, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * MarioBobFan, I'll take a look at this request tomorrow. From the linked local RfC, I'm seeing users having mixed feelings on closing the wikis, or to "cutting them loose" from the Qualitipedia wikis. Given there was no consensus for closing the wikis, reopening these wikis is reasonable, and given that DarkMatterMan4500 has locally expressed a view to either close them or cut them loose, that is, arguably, his de facto abdication of any role in the wiki. So, it seems to me what needs to happen is for the wikis to be reopened, and for me to invite remaining contributors to the wiki to put their names forward for the remaining community's consideration for election. Dmehus (talk) 04:46, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Fantastic LEGO Sets Wiki is still open, and plus, the toy reception wikis were closed for a reason. I'm unsure why GLSW was closed, in fact, if you ask me, they actually have potential unlike the toy wikis, as their toys are probably easier to make pages on than other toys. FatBurn0000 (talk) 08:02, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * and ;GLSW was timed out from inactivity most likely. The Toy wikis were not closed in a way that prohibits re-opening by invested users, in fact the linked Request for Comment and the summary provided above indicate that interested parties can still adopt and reopen them if they wish. They were simply closed in addition to cutting off from QP because nobody, including their current most active members who I went out of my way to contact, wanted to a) do anything with them or b) take administrative responsibility by adopting them. So they were closed until such a time someone proved they had the interest to actually give them a shot, which wasn't really proven in their lifespan previously. It's worth noting that there is only one case here of 'mixed feelings' to close the Toy wikis, and previously there was a snowball against their continued operation again by the aforementioned RfC. The oppositions largely lacked any actual contribution to the wikis they were defending and only opposed on principle they 'could be useful', not with any apparent intent of actually addressing the concerns of their operation. --Raidarr (talk) 12:32, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I could re-open them at a reasonable request, so, if I do see the next one, I will probably re-open given that I'm a bureaucrat of that wiki. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:31, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 That's up to you, but did you have a discussion with other contributors or bureaucrats on that wiki to close them? If so, then I'd recommend discussing with those parties first before reopening. Also, if you can link me to the discussion, that'd be great, too. Dmehus (talk) 02:25, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Why yes, there was a mention of closing the wikis as part of this RfC on Qualitipedia Central. I'd be more than inclined to re-open it if people vote for it to be re-opened. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:30, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 Thank you for that, and for saying they're part of that the included scope of wikis to either cut loose or close. I would personally recommend closing that discussion. If you and other bureaucrats are not comfortable reading the consensus of the discussion, or your local policies or conventions preclude involved closures, I'd be most happy to assess that consensus and close that discussion for you. From my initial read, there's a clear/strong consensus against retaining the wikis as Qualitipedia wikis. There's not a clear consensus as to whether there's a preference to close or cut loose the wikis, so that's within the closing bureaucrat's discretion, unless local policies preclude that, or it would fall to existing bureaucrats, presumably as part of some sort of 'crat chat, to determine how to administratively effect the outcome of the RfC. If you do opt to administratively cut loose the wikis instead of closing them, arguably, that then becomes a new wiki, and so there should be some sort of new discussion for the prior community contributors to the wiki to decide to the initial team of bureaucrats, administrators, etc., and what the requirements are for those team members to be elected, removed, or how they may be removed (i.e., by local bureaucrat or, as is preferred, by Steward). So those are the sort of procedural/administrative things you and your team need to decide as part of that RfC's closure. If Stewards' assistance is requested in some way, whether to close the RfC or administratively remove bureaucrat rights or reopen the wiki(s) to allow a new community formation discussion to get underway, we're happy to assist, but as of this point, the ball is in your court, so to speak. :) Dmehus (talk) 15:51, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Election on 'windowswiki'
Recently I opened an adoption request for, and as recommended, I made a local election, with the result being literally just one vote in favor. With the result, I think it's now possible to grant me the role of bureaucrat, and remove the old inactive one. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this adoption. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 17:03, 28 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Como aquele é um wiki inativo, um voto foi muito. YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 01:03, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Lakelimbo Though I agree 's community is fairly small and not very active, the reason why you've been unable to adopt it at requests for adoption is because the wiki's community is active enough to preclude the wiki from going inactive and, ultimately, closed per Dormancy Policy. I'm also curious and a bit concerned why you've also either (a) requested Stewards to remove the existing less active bureaucrat(s) or (b) proposed to remove that bureaucrat, particularly when it's not clear that the bureaucrat is completely inactive or that they need to be removed merely because they've been less active. Wikis can, after all, and as a matter of good practice, have multiple bureaucrats. At the same time, given that the wiki does have a semi-active, albeit small, community, I'm reluctant to action this request as successful for a couple reasons. For one thing, you've not made any edits to the wiki locally, and the only supportive comment was from another user, who has also not contributed to the wiki in a significant way. For another consideration, since your stated rationale is to make major changes, I feel as those changes should undergo at least some undergo some sort of vetting, including by Stewards, so as to ascertain whether they should have a local discussion. To that end, Stewards can always be requested to make certain changes in absence of locally active bureaucrats, and we would be happy to do so, via this noticeboard. For example, if you require a certain technical change in ManageWiki in order to continue will building and contributing to the wiki, which, together, should help the wiki's local community get to know you better. Additionally, once that change has been done, Stewards can additionally be requested to implement a local sitenotice on the wiki, so as to better publicize your local election request to the community. Dmehus (talk) 21:50, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I mentioned on Discord how the wiki went around 40 days without any edits, so I was just waiting to reach the 60 day limit so I could adopt without any issue, however, someone, out of nowhere, created a page with less than 20 characters in the last days, resetting the timer, and personally I don't consider this to be "semi-active". With this, Raidarr and Agent Isai recommended me to hold a local election, which I did, and had only one vote from Raidarr. And the reason I want the old bureaucrat to be removed it just that the user is really not using the wiki &mdash; nor Miraheze in general &mdash; anymore, but because MediaWiki accounts cannot be deleted normally, the user would still get emails for any higher level changes on the wiki. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 22:50, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Lakelimbo Thank you for your clarification on your reason for holding a local election despite not being a contributor to the wiki. That being said, are there any ManageWiki changes you would like me to make locally, so that you can continue building the wiki whilst your local election request continues for a little while longer and would a local sitenotice be useful, in order to better publicize your stated reason for wanting to hold local bureaucrat rights on the wiki? Additionally, I would not assume that the existing bureaucrat has their e-mail notification settings set to the default to send e-mail notifications on user rights changes to the wiki (though I believe that particular setting in question only e-mails them if their user rights are changed, not any user rights changes to any user). Upon your local election's closing, would you also commit to leaving their user rights in place for at least a year, to see if they return, and even then, restore them upon their eventual return (given their involvement with and substantial contributions to the wiki)? Dmehus (talk) 23:05, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * There are no ManageWiki changes needed for now. And yes, the user can keep the rights for this situation. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 23:29, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Lakelimbo . That's great to here. Please do see my extended local closing comments to the discussion. As such, this has now been ✅ on that basis. Dmehus (talk) 00:50, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to confirm: Am I allowed to request a recreation of the wiki on Phabricator (drop and create the DB again)? I can create a XML with the current pages (especially the election) and save it, if needed. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 14:29, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Lakelimbo Hrm, would you be retaining the existing pages? If not, this seems more like you wanting to just take over an existing subdomain, . If you're wanting to start fresh, my preference would maybe to consolidate the main content pages into a new namespace, then have that XML reimported, either by you or by SRE. Local election page could be reimported into project namespace, perhaps? That way the pages would all still be there and a local discussion could be had at a later date, should Orbitron return. Does that seem reasonable? Dmehus (talk) 01:13, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * with the XML I mean I can export the current content from the wiki and save it on my drive, so if needed anytime, I can just upload the file to show the contents of the wiki previously. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 12:12, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Lakelimbo, I guess that'd be fine. Maybe post a note at Orbitron's local user talk page, letting them know you have the XML and not easily salvageable images that can be reimported as needed. Dmehus (talk) 23:45, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Pushing Recent Changes as far back as 180 days, there has been the following activity on the Windows wiki:
 * 20 October 2021: Beginning of adoption process, with known edits made after.
 * 3 October 2021: An edit to the Windows 10X‎ page by Tech Technology. This is the user's first and only recorded edit on the wiki, and indeed on the service as a whole. I presume here that this is an outlier action and not a reflection of local community.
 * 30 September 2021: Void user rename log.
 * 12 September 2021: Page creation of Windows 11 by a GDPR'd account.
 * 3 August 2021: Dmehus user rename log.
 * 17 June 2021: Last seen local bureaucrat and sustainably 'local community' activity; a page deletion, subsequent to wiki reopen and a Common.css tweak an odd three days prior.
 * I would argue sustainable local community has not existed since mid June, and based on the 180 day query the last action before my logged sequence was another dmehus rename from May. This is further evidenced by a glance at the official wiki Discord server which has been entirely inert since my inquiry posted on October 25th; before that, its general channel has not been posted in since June 15th. I think that while there were a few outliers to shake the usual 45 day inactivity process, he was quite reasonable in making the request and should be considered for a proper transfer of controls. In a half a year search, it's clear to me that there is hardly any community left for Lake to 'get to know' aside from the bureaucrat's reopen and very brief tweaks. These conditions seem to me as being placed for the benefit of a 'semi-active community' that does not exist. --Raidarr (talk) 00:13, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did consider that, but it's worth noting that local rename log do not preclude a wiki from going dormant or being closed per Dormancy Policy. They, together with user merge log entries, and a very limited number of other log actions, are the type of activity that does not keep a wiki from going dormant. In this case, it appears that Tech Technology's edit was what prevented the wiki from being closed in accordance with Dormancy Policy. On that basis, and since Lake has clarified their position on the wiki's substantial contributor retaining their user rights for an extended period of time, should they return to the wiki, I'm inclined to action this request now.

Can you delete my wiki
Can you delete my wiki, The Fowl House Wiki, since there seems to be very little interest in it and there don't seem to be any useful contributions to the wiki. I have privated and closed the wiki though I feel it would be better to just delete it. Also, unlike its sister wiki, The Fowl House Wiki does not have a FANDOM version. I actually requested to FANDOM staff to delete the FANDOM version of The Wow House Wiki (called The Anti-ScumHouse Wiki) so if they accept the request for closure and close the FANDOM version of the wiki, then I will request that the Miraheze version be closed as well.

Here is the link to the main page: The Fowl House Wiki. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 16:15, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Global lock for Key-Power
He is going to make the fake Usopedia. There is evidence on this page. "偽Usopediaでも作りません?" means "Would you like to make a fake Usopedia?". This is a sabotage to Usopedia. I would like a global lock for Key-Power.--Egg (talk) 12:58, 1 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Egg While there is no policy to globally lock users who are making a content fork, these forks (if on Miraheze) must abide by the Content Policy. One of the provisions of it states "A wiki must not create problems which make it difficult for other wikis" which includes making a content fork with little to no attempts to meditate any issues with the original community. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 13:06, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I will examine this more closely, Egg. Another user from that wiki, who is a wiki creator but whose username uses a non-English script so can't easily copy/paste due to technical issues with my Vivaldi web browser, reported this user for potential abuse of multiple accounts and crosswiki vandalism. That investigation has largely been completed, but has been pended for consultation with other Stewards. Dmehus (talk) 00:43, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * S/he was determined by Usopedia to be a ロープTA sock puppet and was blocked indefinitely. The rationale is described below.
 * Uncyclopedia's CheckUser proved that the user named "風呂ックス" who was active in Japanese Uncyclopedia was the same as Uncyclopedia's ロープTA (CheckUser request page in Uncyclopedia).
 * 風呂ックス suggested in Japanese Uncyclopedia that it was the same as Miraheze's account "Key-Power" (My talk page in Uncyclopedia has the description "どれだけPowerをかけても壊れなさそうなKeyをどうぞ! {English: Please have a Key that will not break no matter how much power you apply!}", which contains the words "Key" and "Power").
 * In other words, ロープTA = Japanese Uncyclopedia's 風呂ックス = Miraheze's Key-Power.
 * Therefore, we will request global lock for each of the following accounts, assuming that they are abuses using sock puppets.
 * ロープTA
 * ロープ (Sub account of ロープTA)
 * C2H6O (The first account used to break the block)
 * Key-Power (The second account used to break the block)
 * Special:CentralAuth/Key-Power(Bot) (Sub account of Key-Power)

Can you please delete my account? (just give me a global ban if you accept, pleaseǃ) TheDarkestForest (talk) 18:35, 1 November 2021 (UTC)


 * TheDarkestForest Could you clarify this for me? What's the reason you're requesting a "global ban," as you put it? We don't have "global bans," per se. We have, in some cases, imposed global user restrictions. Additionally, user accounts have been locked for a variety of reasons, including abusing multiple accounts, engaging in blatant vandalism, engaging in crosswiki abuse and disruption, or, in the case of automated spam only accounts (a.k.a. "spambots"), spamming the abuse logs. Are you saying this is not your first Miraheze account and, if that's the case, what other prior account(s) have you used? Otherwise, can you provide a reason for a self-requested global lock? Dmehus (talk) 00:40, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

 * MikeShinoda2001 We can actually disable your account, by way of a global lock. You would not be able to login to your account. But before I do that, I would like to ask whether you have a registered e-mail address on the account, so you can recover your password, should you need to do so in the event you wish to have Stewards unlock your account at some point in the future? As well, you also have the option of requesting a vanishing by Stewards whereby your account would first be globally renamed, then globally locked. Any private, non-public information is still retained with the account, so the account may recoverable at a later time. Alternatively, the Trust and Safety team has the capacity to execute a similar account information removal mechanism, but this removes all information from your account and it is irreversible. Please advise if you wish to proceed and clearly state how to proceed. Dmehus (talk) 00:27, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy policy exemption
We kindly request that you exempt the following wiki from the Dormancy Policy. Thank you in advance!

Wiki: archiopediagrc.miraheze.org.

Reason: The wiki is an encyclopedia and a database (twin of the <archiopedia.miraheze.org> wiki); this means that it may not be edited for long periods of time, but it should remain active continuously in order for our readers to be always able to access it and use the materials that have already been uploaded. Publisher (Archiopedia) (talk) 21:35, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Publisher Thank you for your request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy for, which I've now reviewed and assessed. Regrettably, I must mark this as ❌, for now, principally because your wiki contains only a Main Page and no content pages, uploaded original media creations in File: namespace, or really anything. I'm not quite sure if this is a wiki you intend to build. If that's the case, an exemption can be reconsidered once you've made significant progress on the wiki. However, as of this point in time, there's no basis for an exemption. Note, too, there could be a bit of misunderstanding in terms of when wikis are actually marked as deleted. There has to be zero log actions or edits on a wiki for sixty (60) calendar days, after which it's closed and eligible for adoption at requests for adoption for a further four (4) calendar months. At any point during that time, you can reopen your wiki. Additionally, any contributor on your wiki can request Stewards to reopen your wiki, if they don't hold local   rights.

Help, embeded content not working
Hi, About a month ago all my embedded content stopped working (videos from youtube and vimeo, and google sheets). It says "content is blocked. contact the site owner to fix the issue". Can someone unblock the content for me, or point me to the information on how I can do it? There is a video on my front page if you want to look at the problem. Thank you.

 * @Jono.hughes For vimeo, it's being blocked by the CSP, so you'll have to go to phabricator (just use this form) and request that player.vimeo.com be added to frame-src. As for the others, can you show any examples of those not working? YouTube at least works for me. K599 (talk) 16:19, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Restore my admin rights on greatcharacterswiki
I was a former admin on greatcharacters.miraheze.org but somehow, I never got my admin rights restored on that wiki when it was decided to remain open. Can someone restore my admin rights on that wiki? MatthewThePrep (talk) 12:21, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Please delete Xen wiki and Wikicode Subsets which belong to the global locked PiotrGrochowski. Thanks! AlPaD (talk) 19:04, 4 November 2021 (UTC)


 * AlPaD I'm going to mark this as ❌ as, while I feel the wikis are rather useless and a bit comprehensible, I don't feel that closure in accordance with Content Policy is warranted in this case. I would, however, consider any local discussion on one or both wikis, and if there's consensus to delete those wikis, that could be concerned. As a recently active contributor to those wikis, you're certainly a recently active community member on them and certainly justified in proposing such a discussion.

Restore administrative groups/permissions
I seem to have backed myself into a corner on my private wiki, sarnland.miraheze.org. I requested it a few days ago, and I've never managed a wiki before so I was messing around with all the settings to learn the ropes. The trouble is, I mistakenly deleted the bureacrat or administrator group (I can't recall which) while I was changing around the wiki permissions. With the group gone, I've removed myself from it and have lost permission to manage my wiki's settings. Could you help me regain administrative acess to my wiki? Conroy (talk) 20:16, 4 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Waiting game for a Steward to appear and review unfortunately; hopefully one will be around within a couple days (perhaps today). The permission you must have is 'managewiki', which is granted by the bureaucrat group. Permissions are not inherited, what you are in is what you get. You could add managewiki to the admin group and have it there (wouldn't add just anyone to it since it lets you change everything), but you must have it at least somewhere or you're bricked. So a Steward will come in and restore the bureaucrat group, but a little background on what happened here. --Raidarr (talk) 08:26, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Conroy, ✅ following ✅ of your  user group with the   default permissions. Noting your log summaries when you deleted that group and the   group, it isn't actually either of those groups that denies uses access to your private wiki. Indeed, by default, all users, other than advanced permission global users like Stewards, SRE, and Trust and Safety, cannot view your private wiki unless you give them either of the (a)   or (b) member user group by way of the included   user right. If you previously granted a user either of those groups, you can go here, and enter their username to revoke their view access. Dmehus (talk) 18:27, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Request for Steward assessment
Due to me having participated in the two open requests at Requests for permissions and Southparkfan's current inactivity I'm requesting that a Steward assesses the two elections instead. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 18:30, 8 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Reception123 Thank you for your request to have Stewards assess your local permissions election process on  in lieu of locally available, uninvolved bureaucrats. I've left a brief note for the other bureaucrat on this wiki, with the hope that he may have e-mail notifications enabled for messages on his Meta user talk page. As there have still been a couple comments trickling in to those RfPs and since there's not a significant urgency to have those requests closed, my preference is to wait 2-3 days, to see if Southparkfan takes note of my note and closes those requests. If he doesn't, I'll return to this request in 2-3 days and assess those elections on that basis, as I typically do with wikis that have active communities (and Meta Wiki certainly has that). So, I'm placing this  until then. Dmehus (talk) 06:47, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of roleplaying.miraheze.org
Per the title, I seek to remove this wiki from Miraheze. While I think its scope has potential at a community level, I have no interest in administering it and would have the domain left available for someone to request whenever. This is from a position as sole proprietor & contributor. Instead I seek to expand scope to a different project that accommodates the full range of what I wanted to do there and a good bit more; the expansion and rebrand is vast enough that I believe it would be a waste of all parties time to change scope past its wiki request and make various Phabricator tasks to see it done. --Raidarr (talk) 11:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It's still going to be analyzed by a steward. The wiki idea would be interesting, but I think you saw it was useless. I think it would be good if you let someone adopt YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 14:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This was specifically a clerical request for Steward action; frankly I don't think there's anything an adoption would do that this path would not, since it allows a user to create a new version rather quickly with no strings attached. My latest project also renders this wiki redundant for its original intentions. However, if you or someone else would like to adopt it now for whatever reason (such as it is with literally no content worth inheriting), feel free to message me with your intentions and I can withdraw this request + offer rights accordingly. --Raidarr (talk) 14:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Raidarr and YellowFrogger, for what it's worth, I think this was a misunderstanding on both of your parts. YellowFrogger, I think you may have misunderstood Raidarr's request by him requesting deletion, he was opposed to having the wiki be adopted. I did not see that at all. Raidarr, I think you may have misinterpreted YellowFrogger's comment that he was somehow trying to obstruct your deletion request or was wanting to adopt it. I took his comment as just a passing comment. I didn't find it to be particularly necessary, but I also didn't view it as either harmful or obstructionist in any way. Dmehus (talk) 07:55, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Raidarr ✅ per your articulated rationale because, as you say, this is essentially an empty wiki that no one is likely wanting to adopt and, moreover, given the potential popularity of the subdomain, it would be quite bureaucratic to have the wiki decay naturally. While the subdomain won't be immediately available, it will be available when SRE next run the script, provided a minimum of two weeks have elapsed from today. As well, as you noted, you're also the only contributor to this wiki. That being said, please do try and make sure you have sufficient time + interest to commit to a wiki prior to requesting a wiki. Dmehus (talk) 07:50, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It is the final of the original three, none of which panned out. Hopefully the current entries have a much better shot, even if their own progressions are rather slow. Decay may have been easier but more under the radar, but I figured I'd call it as it is.--Raidarr (talk) 09:05, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree with that. If Miraheze subdomains were real estate, this would be akin to you registering a lakeview lot, a block or two back from the lake, and not developing it and allowing the weeds/sagebrush to become overgrown for the next six months. Thus, it's best to put that lot back into the available plots of land for community members to put to good use. Dmehus (talk) 16:23, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy Exemption - ProdeusGuide
Hi.

I'm putting in a request for exemption from the Dormancy Policy. The site prodeusguide.miraheze.org is a reference guide for the level editor in the video game Prodeus. Updates to the wiki site will be performed as features are added or changed in the game. Though I'd expect the content to remain static for the most part.

Cheers! Aircawn (talk) 12:52, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * From what I've seen, at least this wiki has some content. Expect a steward to rate for exemption YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 14:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Aircawn, for your request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy. I've started an initial review, and will complete it by tomorrow, rendering and updating you on the decision tomorrow, as tomorrow is a statutory holiday. Dmehus (talk) 07:57, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Aircawn Further to your request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy, I have now reviewed your request. We assess these typically in a two-part test, one of which is based on need and the other of which is (usually) based on ample content intended to be read by human beings (a limited number of other reasons for exemptions exist for very specific use cases). In terms of need, with a wiki community consisting of only five (5) contributors, only one (1) of which is recently active (you), that part is easily met. In terms of content, the second part, that part is a bit more difficult, as there's only about forty (40) content pages, which is a bit light. Nevertheless, diving deeper into the page size (i.e., quality versus quantity), as well as what appears to be a fairly significant number of original image creations (principally, screenshots) from your game, Prodeus, it's clear there's sufficient content intended to be read and used as a resource by real human beings. Thus, I've ✅ this request on that basis, indefinitely. Please note, though, that this is an indefinite, not permanent, Dormancy Policy exemption, so if there's a change in terms of need, content, or other circumstances that your wiki no longer requires an exemption, it can be removed. Additionally, you're also encouraged to proactively update us at stewards' noticeboard should you knowingly expect to no longer require an exemption. Thanks.

Options A and B are fairly straightforward; option C is complex, and really outside of the scope of this noticeboard, due to its complexity as it really requires one-on-one training and you'd need to do your own educational "homework" in the matter.

Just a question
How do you merge wikis? FatBurn0000 (talk) 19:54, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * FatBurn0000, for your question. There isn't an easy one-click way to merge a wiki, but rather, what you can do is, using the Special:DataDump, then, on your new wiki, create a separate namespace, perhaps bearing the name of the merged wiki for convenience, and file a Phabricator ticket for SRE to import the XML dump you generated into that newly created namespace on your new wiki. Once that's done, you can then move the pages, without a leaving a redirect, out of the temporary namespace into your new wiki's main, project, and other relevant namespaces. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 08:01, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * When you say "new wiki", do you mean the wiki that the other wiki is going to be merged into, or do you mean the wiki that is going to merge into the other one? FatBurn0000 (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * FatBurn0000 Good question. It could be a brand new wiki, or just a surviving wiki that shares a similar purpose and broad scope to the wiki you're seeking to merge. Essentially, the merged wiki would be better to refer to as the merging wiki (i.e., the one you intend to delete once the merge is finalized) and the merging wiki is the other wiki/new wiki to which the merging wiki would be merged into. Hope that clarifies. Dmehus (talk) 16:26, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

 * YellowFrogger, it shouldn't, as you are active on that wiki, and wikis aren't marked as deleted until there's been 180 days of complete inactivity (i.e., no logged actions or edits on the wiki during that entire time, notwithstanding global renames and user merges, if any). In terms of a potential request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy, I would say this is too soon, as there's only eight content pages, only one of which is more than a sub-stub class page.

 * There is no 'wiki owner' on Miraheze. Bureaucrat and admin, along with any local policies and convention are what set local management. You have everything you need to assume control. Ideally though, you make a local post to explain the situation as best as possible so it is not weird and appears to be a coup to anyone who is present in the community. --Raidarr (talk) 10:17, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Happy Days If your friend has no access to their recovery e-mail address for their user account and there are no other bureaucrats on that wiki, and they do not have an alternate account which they've confirmed on-wiki as their alternate account, they will need to complete a local permissions election on the wiki, following these guidelines, then return to this noticeboard when the local process has concluded. Dmehus (talk) 16:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Happy Days It looks like you're already a  on this wiki, so you have the capabilities to grant the additional permissions to any newly created user account for your friend.

Requests for adoption
There appears to be a problem going on with this page and its archives. Multiple requests keep getting archived despite not being finished. For example, worsttvnetworks.miraheze.org, ethereumanarchy.miraheze.org, phix.miraheze.org, 5b5t.miraheze.org, doktok.miraheze.org, symbian.miraheze.org, ukps.miraheze.org, rebelwisdom.miraheze.org, samsstudynet.miraheze.org, justparty2022.miraheze.org and umga.miraheze.org were all archived at Requests for adoption/Archive 8 despite not being looked at.

Edit rights on nfcwiki
https://nfcwiki.miraheze.org/ was reopened per Lesogorec's adoption request but turns out that editing of the wiki is restricted only to Verified users group (so previous bureaucrat is the only one who can edit pages on the wiki). I ask you to make that other users could create and edit pages on the wiki so we can have local elections and keep writing articles. WerySkok (talk) 15:50, 14 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I support this request. Lesogorec (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * WerySkok and Lesogorec Thank you for identifying this issue. Since the wiki has no recently active local administrators, there were a couple options here. One of which could've been inviting users to attend stewards' noticeboard to request the "verified users" local user group from Stewards in absence of locally available administration, and the other of which would be to grant the  user right to the   group. As this wiki generally does not have a recently active community, nevermind administrators, the former seemed to be a bit problematic from the standpoint of future permissions requests in that only those users who'd requested the verified users group via this noticeboard would be able to participate any such local discussions. So, I've ✅ the   user right to this   user group. If there any other permissions you require below   not requiring an election or any other ManageWiki configuration/extension changes, in order to develop this wiki, please start a new thread on stewards' noticeboard. Thank you Dmehus (talk) 16:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, about that. Looks like I don't have right to create pages, even in the main namespace. Can you add this right too? WerySkok (talk) 16:29, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * WerySkok That also seems reasonable. Do you want me just to reset the  permissions to the default   group permissions, so that your wiki can have a further local discussion with respect to user groups that exist on the wiki? Dmehus (talk) 16:35, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

 * WerySkok, This should be ✅ now. Dmehus (talk) 16:53, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Dormancy Exemption - Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki
Hello I would like to request a dormancy exemption for hypotheticalhurricanes.miraheze.org as this wiki as of the time of writing has over 13,000 pages and I am working with another user uploading all the images currently. I believe a wiki of this size and potential activity should warrant an inactivity exemption. Thank you in advance. Hypercane <font color="#8152C6">(  talk <font color="#8152C6">) 07:30, 15 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hypercane, thank you for your request for an exemption to our Dormancy Policy, originally made via IRC, which I've now reviewed and assessed. That's great you're working on importing images still&mdash;it's important work, but can be time-consuming. We typically assess requests on a two-part basis, one being sufficient quality content made to be read by real human beings and the other being need&mdash;a wiki with a very activity community of users would not need an exemption. In your case, the first part is easily met, having migrated existing content from the Fandom wiki version, with some 13,000 (or so) quality and substantive pages. In terms of need, this is also met, as your Miraheze community is still small and has few active contributors. Thus, I've ✅ this request indefinitely, but please do note that this is not a permanent exemption, and should your wiki's activity change that it no longer needs an inactivity exemption, this can be removed. Additionally, you're encouraged to proactively advise us here of such circumstantial changes. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 07:37, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

An issue on mh:awesomethemeparksandattractions:Awesome Theme Parks and Attractions Wiki
For some reason, despite that I am autoconfirmed on this wiki (I have made over 10 edits and have been registered to the wiki for over 4 days) I cannot comment on pages. FatBurn0000 (talk) 09:51, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there! It looks like you have not yet assigned the required  permission to any of your user groups. You can assign this permission to your desired group by visiting Special:ManageWiki/permissions on the wiki in question and assigning   to your desired user group. Hope this helps!  dross  (t • c • g) 10:02, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Are you sure I don't have to be a bureaucrat to do that? FatBurn0000 (talk) 21:38, 15 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I could get that fixed. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:20, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

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)

Request for revoke globalblock-whitelist permission on local wiki
The  permission can be granted using the ManageWiki on the local wiki. As a result, User:Key-Power, who is requested to have a global lock on this page, is trying to break the block by invalidating the global lock of his IP address on the mh:jpbankwiki: (at that time, a global lock request was issued. Immediately after it was done). Therefore, I request that the  permission cannot be granted locally. Schwarz ・ Talk /  ウソペディア  05:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Schwarz, while I do agree that there are few legitimate reasons for this user right, I do think this would need a global community discussion that assess those likely few legitimate use cases and weighs them against reasons for limiting this user right to Stewards. In any case, I also feel this isn't the right approach in this case. The global block can instead be reenabled on this wiki, to prevent further abuse. I'm keeping an eye on this wiki, and related wikis, created by the user you've identified. As you've been monitoring this user's crosswiki behaviour and editing fairly closely, any additional wikis we should be monitoring would be helpful. Dmehus (talk) 07:22, 17 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Dmehus Thank you for your support. At this time I am not aware of any other wikis or users that need to be monitored. However, if similar users appear in the future, I will keep you informed.-- Schwarz ・ Talk /  ウソペディア  08:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser Request
Recently, a user named mh:freshwebsites:BraceletyFan77 was blocked by me on the Fresh Websites Wiki for comparing Wikipedia similarly to the Nazis, as well as making ranty and unhelpful edits. Some time after the user's block, a new account called mh:freshwebsites:LionCooler was created to tell me something related to the block on my talk page. My talk page was the only edits said user made, and there has been evidence to support that this is indeed a sockpuppetry case, such as a username that seems to mock my own and that the account seems to be made just to defend BraceletyFan. However, on their talk page, BraceletyFan77 claims that they are not the same person and told me to do a CheckUser request, stating that their IP addresses are different. While this does bring me suspicions said user is using a different computer or device to edit, I would still like a CheckUser request to see if these two accounts are indeed not the same IP address.
