.infobox.geography .maptable td, .infobox.geography .maptable th { border: 0; padding: 0; } (from Korean Wikipedia) This is infobox class. can add MediaWiki:Common.css? Gomdoli (talk) 12:21, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not clear to me how adding this to Meta's common.css file would be helpful. As far as I'm aware, that file only controls Meta, and has no impacts on other wikis. So, essentially, you would need to suggest to every wiki to update their common.css files where they use that infobox. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 12:47, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm only talking about metawiki. ※Infobox -- Gomdoli (talk) 12:51, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Okay, thanks. It's still not clear to me, though, what these CSS classes would solve? What would they change? Also, if you forget to ping someone, you can still go back into your message and insert a ping since no one has replied. You can optionally update the timestamp of your signature. There's no need to start a new paragraph and sign again just for the ping. I mean, it's fine the way you did it, but just letting you know another way that is perfectly acceptable. Dmehus (talk) 12:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * They define infobox's style; We can use class, then load styles. --Gomdoli (talk) 13:20, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * and, you said, I edited that's because pings won't be sent. Wikipedia:ko:Template:Ping -- Gomdoli (talk) 13:22, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There's infobox template. Yes. But what does this CSS class do? What value does it add to the template? Why should everyone loading Meta get these chunks of code? No, "because there's a template, there should be this CSS code" does NOT count. &mdash; revi  14:11, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Archiving
Not sure if this is a great idea, but maybe add the autoarchive to this page since some things are literally 5 years old.

For your consideration. 20:27, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your good-faith suggestion. Community portal is the former community noticeboard, and, incidentally, I didn't realize that page's sysop protection had expired. This has now been corrected. We're currently developing plans to repurpose that noticeboard into a Meta-only community discussion portal, but what do with its archives is challenging. So, in the interim, it is sysop protected. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 00:43, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It does. Thanks! 00:44, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, great, and no problem. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Special:GlobalRenameRequest
I recently made a request to change my name on Miraheze the for why is entailed in the request, anyway, the message on said Special page shows this message:


 * Begäran om globalt namnbyte av användarkonto


 * Begär ett nytt användarnamn som kommer att används på alla projekt.


 * Alla dina tidigare bidrag kommer att knytas till detta nya användarnamn.


 * När du har begärt ett nytt användarnamn, kommer en anmälan att skickas till Wikimedias stewarder för utföra ett namnbyte. Du kommer att meddelas via email när denna process är klar.


 * Om din förfrågan är relaterad till en önskan om anonymitet/integritet, var vänlig notera att en permanent loggpost kommer att skapas med notering av ditt tidigare namn. Du kanske bör överväga att skapa ett nytt separat och oberoende konto och byta namn på ditt nuvarande konto till något slumpmässigt och sedan överge det.


 * Nuvarande användarnamn:
 * Raltseye

Now, correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't it say Miraheze and not MediaWiki? Or is the system sending back a global name change request to MediaWiki? Isn't that handled locally? In which case it should be Miraheze. Or am I missing something here, could it a problem with localisation? --Raltseye (talk) 23:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems to be an error in translation, as all renames are handled by Miraheze Stewards. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 01:05, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I assume it has to do with this unit on translatewiki. Alright, I seen to have fixed it. This thread was unnecessary.. --Raltseye (talk) 02:48, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raltseye (talk • contribs) 02:52, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I was just going to suggest that this should be translated through translatewiki.net. It sounds like you found the correct interface message to translate. We have a bot on GitHub that automatically imports translatewiki.net translations on a regular basis. would probably know the frequency by which the translations are imported into our GitHub repository. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 03:28, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not sure how often this happens as the bot nor translatewiki is controlled by us AFAIK. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 05:21, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I fixed the translation anyway. --Raltseye (talk) 13:38, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Does Miraheze need translate rules?
Lots of English words are polysememes. And in other languages, they also have lots of different expression.

For example, "Miraheze" in Chinese can be "Miraheze", "米拉和泽" (transliteration), "菏泽的米拉铜合金" (literally) and so on.

I think Miraheze needs translate rules what has the translation of special words on gauge to make translations standard.

Please can you delete my userpage at Meta
Please may you delete this page here: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:TheBurningPrincess as I wish to change my name (at some point), and for that page to show up as deleted on Google TheBurningPrincess (talk) 21:50, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please note, though, for Meta-only requests, you should either (a) use Administrators' noticeboard or (b) add admin help in a new section on your user talk page. Dmehus (talk) 22:07, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Should you wish to reply to this thread, please note that I have moved it from stewards' noticeboard to Administrators' noticeboard, where it is now in scope. Dmehus (talk) 22:15, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Double tags
The training module Training modules/Dealing with online harassment/slides/on-wiki-steps-they-can-take feature double tags. I don't have the permission to edit the page (even though the edit button says I can), so if anyone with said permission could remove one of them, that'd be nice. --Sabelöga (talk) 13:43, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
