Wiki with no admins
There’s a wiki I discovered (6 months?) ago called https://crappysoftware.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page .The owner abandoned the wiki,and I managed to revive it.The wiki has no moderation right now,so I request getting privileges for that wiki. --GrammarFixer (talk) 18:02, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Please rename magic to vedopedia
magic.miraheze.org was connected to custom sub-domain with name vedopedia.witches-empire.com. Please change wiki name from magic to vedopedia so the name of wiki would be the same with sub-domain. Thank you in advance. Helper (talk) 21:08, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Add a few interwiki links on nonciclopedia.org
Hello, I'd like to add a few new prefixes in Special:Interwiki that are not actually meant for external wikis but for our own namespaces, since we use them as they were external sites (like the many different Wikimedia projects), and typing the whole namespace or category is time-consuming. If possible, they should be like this: * nd - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nondizionario:$1 * nq - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nonquote:$1 * nv - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Nonvoyage:$1 Also, I'd like an answer for above.--Wedhro (talk) 12:16, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * nb - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Manuali $1
 * nc - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Immagini $1
 * ni - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Risorse $1
 * nn - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Notizie $1
 * ns - https://nonciclopedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Testi $1
 * Um, I'm not sure. do you want to link categories or name spaces (example: Guide:Mexico or Infobox:Mexico)?


 * Anyway, ManageWiki already allows to shorten the namespace, for example you can add that the word "WP" links to the Wikipedia namespace with enter on a new line all undefined namespaces which should redirect to this one. That's the same configuration that some Wikipedias and Wikivoyages have. Doesn't that solve it? Hispano76 (talk) 14:54, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I forgot it was possibile, but it only works for namespaces. I also need shortcut links to categories that have long titles and are ordered by topic (so, for example, "Italia" in the main ns can automatically link to "Categoria:Notizie Italia" in the Nonnotizie ns, because it's full of news about Italy that all have different titles.
 * I edited out the ns I no longer need, but the other would still be very handy. (what about the default thumbnail size?)--Wedhro (talk) 15:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hmm, now that I think about it: ns redirects are typed normally (e.g. ns:Article ), while interwikis are tiped starting with a colon (e.g. ;ns:Article ), right? In such case it would be confusing for editors, so either all ns get "fake" interwikis or I'll just manually create all the redirects leading to the categories I need. Assuming they're not counted as articles eve in they're in the main ns (?)--Wedhro (talk) 15:18, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You could customize templates to use. For example the WP template with the  code would link to the article in such a name space, similar to what some templates do. Hispano76 (talk) 15:33, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll probably do something like that.--Wedhro (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

The rename progress for FireBarrier101
So the renaming progress for "FireBarrier101" got stuck on https://200x.miraheze.org --TehUnobtainableMicheal (talk) 18:26, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, unfortunately (I have informed him/her with the risk on one of his/her wikis, and s/he still wanted to proceed anyway). I guess it needs to be solved at .-- 02:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Gucci Rsbbit

Random person on the internet

Joe loves a Cookie

Can you check if these users are sockpuppets? They both act identical and the users in wikis are wondering the same. —Hendicted (talk) 09:51, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

simpleelectronics wiki is dormant for six months already
I'd like to adopt simpleelectronics wiki which has no edits since June 2019. In order to gain admin rights I've been waiting for it to be closed before I do any edits. After six months there's no sign of that happening. Please can the necessary actions be taken towards making this wiki become eligible for adoption. --Rob Kam (talk) 13:28, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * That is because of a rename it seems. I think reasonably you can edit and Stewards should grant the rights per the usual adoption policy. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 14:15, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay. I've started editing but I'm already finding that what I'm able to do is restricted by not being able to manage the wiki. --Rob Kam (talk) 01:10, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
