= CheckUser = {{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Use this section to request that a Steward do a CheckUser on a user/group of users who are suspected of sockpuppetry. If you suspect sockpuppetry, please compile evidence for this. Include as many links to similar behavior as possible such as overlaps in editing styles, grammar, edit summaries, or even SocialProfile data. Failure to do this may result in delays or a decline.

To make a request, press "edit" next to the CheckUser section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed:

= Requests for (un)(b)locks = {{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Please use this section to request global locks (including self-locks), global IP blocks, or for either of these to be removed. If reporting vandalism-only accounts, make sure they fit the global standard definition for vandalism only accounts: there must be no or almost no constructive editing behaviour and, additionally, this behaviour should be occurring on multiple wikis.

To make a global lock or unlock request, press "edit" next to the "Requests for (un)(b)locks" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed:

= Permissions =

Administrator/Bureaucrat access
{{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Use this section to request Stewards grant you administrator or bureaucrat rights on a wiki without any active bureaucrats (or unwilling bureaucrats if they refuse to certify a successful vote) following a local election. We normally don't grant permissions without a local election for advanced rights like this so you'll need to make a local election unless you accidentally demoted yourself.

If you accidentally removed your own permissions, you can also use this section to request re-addition.

To make a request, press "edit" next to the "Administrator/Bureaucrat access" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed:

Username@ wiki
Include any comments here ~ }}

Other access
{{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Use this section to request Stewards grant you minor local access such as autopatrolled, confirmed, or rollbacker on wikis without any active bureaucrats.

You may also use this section to request a Steward grant you a Global IP block exemption.

To make a request, press "edit" next to the "Other access" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed (change wiki to global if requesting an IP block exemption):

Username@ wiki
Include any comments here ~ }}

Removal
{{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Use this section to request Stewards remove rights from a user (such as bureaucrat) following a local revocation or resignation, or to request they remove user rights only they may modify for any reason as defined by group revocation policy. You can also use this section to request bureaucrats remove your own rights on a wiki or on all wikis (including global rights).

To make a request, press "edit" next to the "Removal" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed (change wiki to global if requesting a Steward remove your rights on all wikis or global rights):

Hello, I request to remove my Sysop and Bureaucrat rights from Miraheze Commons. I wish to focus on other projects and am requesting this for the avoidance of doubt. Hispano76 (talk) 12:26, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hispano76, given the current state of the farm and general lack of Steward availability, I think it is reasonable to allow Miraheze Commons bureaucrats to self-remove their own bit, so have ✅ allowing you to remove your own bit. So this can be now be locally handled. :) Dmehus (talk) 04:39, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

= Wiki (un)deletion = {{Hidden|Instructions/Read before making a request| Use this section to request Stewards undelete a wiki if it was deleted for inactivity (not if it's 'closed' [i.e. uneditable but still online] in which case you must use Requests for reopening wikis).

To request a wiki deletion, if your wiki has multiple contributors, you must hold a local discussion beforehand and consensus must be in favor of the wiki closing. If your wiki is a small/personal one where you are the sole contributor, no discussion is needed.

To make a request, press "edit" next to the "Wiki (un)deletion" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed:

Cloned wiki
It has come to my attention that tokyomewmewpower is a direct copy of a fandom wiki with the same name. The user who created the Miraheze wiki has been copy-pasting information directly from the fandom wiki with some minor changes and no attribution. This person has previously gotten in trouble for the exact same thing, having opened multiple cloned wikis on Fandom, all of which were closed due to flagrant copying.--RoyalMinty (talk) 08:20, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Image Dump Request
I'd like to request image dumps for both of the wikis I have (Minty's OCs and OCverse for the purpose of being responsible and making proper back-ups.--RoyalMinty (talk) 08:50, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Please provide an image dump for Vanatas to supplement the data dump I completed today for purposes of having an independent back-up of the wiki and its files.

Requesting image dump for The Sims Wiki
Please generate an image dump for The Sims Wiki, so we can have a backup. Thank you, — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 03:33, 8 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Queued up, might take a while due to the number of images though. -- Void  Whispers 03:43, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Void, the image dump is listed as "Ready" but is only a 64 KB file that fails to extract. Could you try again, please? If it's too large for DataDump, should I open a Phabricator task to see what else can be done? — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 13:12, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
