Favicon Change
I was just wondering when my wiki's ( https://ubuntu.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page ) favicon and logo will be updated to the new image I sent in Phabricator. --Streetfog (talk) 00:24, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * It will be done when a sysadmin merges my Pull Request on GitHub. MacFan4000 (talk) 01:17, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Wiki Question
How does https://applewiki.miraheze.org have a custom image pane and icon? Also when will my custom domain (www.wikiblue.org) be created? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Streetfog (talk • contribs)
 * I have a logo, favicon, and apple touch icon set in localsettings.php you can do that by making a request on https://Phabricator.miraheze.org . As for the domain please see Custom domains MacFan4000 (talk) 14:33, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Wiki created
Hello, I would like to tell you that I have created your wiki. You can now access it at https://applewiki.miraheze.org. You should automatically have been granted founder rights (administrator and bureaucrat), if that's not the case then please leave a notice on Stewards' noticeboard so we can fix it immediately. Do not hesitate to ask questions if your question was not answered in our FAQ. Also, if you want a extension, gadget, or anything else, please ask us here. Thank you for choosing Miraheze, and we wish you good luck with your wiki! TriX (talk) 02:29, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Wiki Creator
Hello. As you are wiki creator now please read the Wiki creators guide. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 15:52, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Wrongly handled request
FYI this request was incorrectly declined. Miraheze wikis can't have hyphens in them due to a technical and style design. Custom domains are exempt from domain naming styles. John (talk) 19:37, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The user has already Re Requested it and I created it. MacFan4000 (talk) 23:31, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That doesn't nullify the fact you declined a request that should have been approved. Don't side step mistakes, accept them and move on. And I just looked, they didn't re-request, they requested something different.John (talk) 23:45, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Double Request
Hi, this is a minor thing but when there are 2/3 requests for the same wiki, please close the duplicates as "declined" and write "Already done per #oldrequest" rather than closing them all as approved. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:41, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for creating WikiBridge for me! You are welcome to contribute if you know anything about bridges. I definitely need users, so if you know anyone who may know something about bridges, please invite them to contribute. MatthewPW (talk) 21:05, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Lift ban
One of the administrators permabanned me (I am the founder and bureaucrat), seizing the wiki from me and vandalizing it. Please can I be unbanned?

 * I cannot as I am not a sysadmin. MacFan4000 (talk) 16:23, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The issue seems to be resolved, as you are no longer blocked. Do you still need help? For global matters like this, generally Stewards should take care of this. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 16:27, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

New request
Hello MacFan4000, i redo a new request with a local wiki. I will make a redirection later. --Jef-Infojef (talk) 15:18, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Last Week in the Mirror
Thanks for replacing DPL3 with DPL on TheMirror.miraheze.org per my Phab request. This has solved part of the problem, the different parameter syntax. Unfortunately, it did not solve the major part of the problem. I have gotten the Main Page to render by commenting out the DPL in themirror.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:News_directory with NOWIKI. This template is supposed to be an automated list of the 25 articles created most recently. When I remove NOWIKI, it won't even preview, no matter how extremely I simplify it. The only way to get it to not hang is to code a DPL request that matches 0 pages, such as specify. It's got to be something simple, such as the way it is configured on this wiki. I would appreciate if you or some other expert can look in and see what I'm doing wrong, at your leisure. Spike the Dog (talk) 03:52, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Marking for translation
I don’t think we need to mark something for translation when translators in fact doesn’t have anything new to translate, so I intentionally left them as is. What do you think about this? &mdash; revi  18:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thing is the non translated code does not get updated on the translated versions of pages until said page is marked for translation, thus triggering FuzzyBot to update the code. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 18:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Main page to Miraheze template wiki?
On templatewiki wouldn't it be better for seo to move Main Page to Miraheze Template Wiki? --Rob Kam (talk) 13:49, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Okay done, thanks, I hope it's not messed translations up much. --Rob Kam (talk) 15:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The exsisting translations are now gone. I tried to move the page but it kept failing. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 17:25, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * They're listed with the old name at Special:AllPages. I couldn't move them either. I don't understand the translation tool enough to use it. --Rob Kam (talk) 18:53, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

CVT reminder
CVT &mdash; you should not edit pages with local sysop protect, unless you hold local sysop. Thank you. &mdash; revi  08:15, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Action taken on Meta as CVT
Hello. I saw that earlier today you revdel'd an edit on Meta, citing that you edited while logged out. Please note that this is outside of your CVT capacity, and that this should have not been done as 1) there are active admins on Meta 2) it did not consist in spam or anything enforceable by CVT. Next time, please contact an admin or steward instead of performing such an action yourself. I see revi has already told you this 2 days ago, so please, be careful.Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

noticed something while on my wiki...
While looking through the global block list, the CVT Links for the global block reasons on IPs 104.202.50.193, 104.140.243.217, and 192.227.205.18 link to M;CVT instead of M:CVT... --Brynda1231 (talk) 20:55, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Speaking about translation
Hi. I've asked some questions regarding translation on John's talk page, and was guided to talk to you instead. So I'm here to ask you why some important policy pages that should be listed for translation (such as Dormancy Policy) are not. I also would like remind you that I've made a request to become a translation admin myself on Admins' noticeboard, if you feel there can be more translation admins to check pages.-- 19:52, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Rollback
Why did you rollback my edit at requests for global rights? Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:55, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

If you want it left to sysops, you remove it since you’re a sysop/sysadmin. It’s obvious that its not true and that its deceptive and frankly disturbing (IMHO) and therefore stop reinstating it just because it was removed by a non-admin. Amanda Catherine (talk) 17:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
 * No sysops seem to find it an issue. But non sysops should never edit other's userpages. Please don't revert sysops edits either. Thanks. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 17:45, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi, nope. We are trying to resolve. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this. Paladox (talk) 02:26, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright. And actually, I misread the log. I thought I saw set rights to none, but that's not what it actually says. Sorry MacFan4000. Recently, I found myself having to log it in order to view anything that wasn't the Main_Page, but it looks like it has been fixed (on Meta at least). --Idris (talk) 02:29, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Request for Bureaucratship on Template Wiki
Hi! I'm most active on Template Wiki. There sometime fetch some problem which can fix only a bureaucrat. (Ex: Translation right on this wiki is not available for general user now.)

Need contributors for my wiki!

 * Hi, I started a new wiki called Sustainapedia. I was wondering if you could help me with my wiki and help contribute to it. I need volunteers who will willing enough to edit all the time (almost active every ten seconds, just like Wikipedia), and to also make a difference. If you could ask other users to start contributing and continuously, that would be great. Plus, I need other administrators too who can patrol and protect articles from vandalism and spam. Are you willing to help me? If so, start creating your user page and start contributing and patrolling for vandalism. I will give you admin rights once you come to the site. Cheers! Here is the link: https://sustainapedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page. DoveWindsor (talk) 11:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Request to be an admin
So i just created the miraheze version of Tolololpedia with the link of https://tolololpedia.miraheze.org because someone said all uncyclopedia including tolololpedia will be closed and some uncyclopedias has moved to miraheze. I tried to import the pages but it says i must be an admin. So can you give me the admin role? --Pradiptamf (talk) 13:53, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Discussion notifications
As you have probably noticed by now, Site updates have not been sent/updated for a while. The main reason for this is the fact that there was not an interest in it, and there was not enough information that was worth sending to users monthly.

I am sending this message to the Site updates list because I would like to propose a trying out a different type of notice sent to users. Instead of monthly updates of a limited number of statistics (which can be consulted by users anyway), staff would instead notify interested users if there is an interesting discussion (on Community noticeboard or Stewards' noticeboard) or if there is a local vote on Meta. Currently, there is no incentive for many users to visit Meta and check recent changes to see if there is anything they would be interested in, so this system would fix that and notify users of that so they can join in the discussion whenever there is one.

In order to subscribe to these notifications, please add your name in the same format to Discussion notifications/List, and you will start being notified on your talkpage. If there is interest in these notifications, they will be continued.

Also, please note that at least for the time being Site updates will be discontinued (since all the statistics are available anyway).

Filter 27
What's the purpose of that filter? As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with any regular user using the "Reverted edits by" edit summary, as its obvious that it wasn't MediaWiki rollback from the lack of the associated tag (although or  may wish to confirm this). Unless there is some policy that explicitly prohibits manual use of such an edit summary, I ask that you please revert that filter creation, or at least turn off the disallow feature. Amanda Catherine (talk) 19:04, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * According to the AbuseLog, what MacFan4000 wanted to prevent actually looked like something that is even not an undoing but faking as if it were a rollback/undo like these edits (though I found out later that my test was an incomplete one, there's no way to detect (non-)rollback action itself according to rules format after all, and therefore cannot detect fake rollback by rollbackers or admins). However, you are right and since we can detect such edits by lacking tags, I have disabled the filter.-- 05:53, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
