Reception Wikis' mods
Hi Stewards. I'm having a... problem with the mods of the Reception Wikis.

Ever since I added the Lion King sequels to the Awful Movies Wiki, it has been the subject of drama. The users were upset that I've added them there, even asking for them to be added to the Greatest Movies Wiki. I have constantly defended my decisions, telling them that the positive reception of a movie doesn't determine whether it is actually good or bad.

Shrek Forever After got criticism when it came out back in 2010, but I saw how good of a movie it actually is, as such, I've made a sandbox listing the positives and gained support from others, and upon completion it was added to the Greatest Movies Wiki.

Furthermore, their logic isn't how film criticisms and reviews even work in the first place. If it did, here's how reviews would work instead: "Despite the massive, massive amount of flaws and the fact that there are so little good things about it, This Movie: The Movie is a good movie merely because of the positive reviews".

For further elaboration, I recommend reading my... thing, where I call out the mods' BS. Over, and out!

FreezingTNT (talk) 20:16, 26 June 2021 (UTC)


 * First of all, I know critics aren't always a good source for reviews, but they should be still trusted for the most part, unless there's controversy regarding the movie. Plus, if you want the Lion King sequels to be on AMW, community consensus would be needed as the movie received positive reviews. The Last Jedi deserves to be on AMW due to the negative reviews from the audience, but it's still considered an average movie. If you promise to not do this again, I can readd your administrator privileges. —Mario Mario 456 23:49, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Can't we all just agree that not all well-liked media are going to have a well-received reception? Like what MarioMario456 has explained to you, I am only here to add to this stepping stone: We need to have a community consensus by us administrators and other editors instead of pointlessly saying that we're adding these "well-liked movies" to negative Reception wikis. We are fully aware that there's no such thing as a perfect movie or any type of media, as they are bound to have flaws that are to be ironed out. Thanks for reading this message, and I hope you take this into consideration. This noticeboard should only be for reporting or other enquiries that requires assistance, not petty drama that could easily be squashed anyways. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:04, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Procedural point of clarification: You don't need to have community consensus to add a page to Greatest Movies Wiki. What should be decided by the community is things like the scope of the wiki and style guidelines for pages. If the community decides that users may add their own pages to the wiki based on a community-defined criteria, that's absolutely fine. Dmehus (talk) 02:20, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

What are you guys going to do about Sponge's edits to the Lion King sequels' articles? I pointed out valid flaws there. FreezingTNT (talk) 01:16, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * FreezingTNT does have a point guys. The existence of controversial pages has been a concern of mine. And yes, I do agree with FreezingTNT that there should be community consensus when dealing with particularly controversial pages. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:14, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this means that there should be in-between wikis. Okay Movies Wiki exists on FANDOM, we could fork it here. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:16, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Speaking of this, has anyone gotten in touch with Trevor on Discord? To try and get his permission?

 * Neutral wikis would be dead anyway, because they were dead before. —Mario Mario 456 02:48, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Then what do we do with stuff like the Lion King sequels?

FreezingTNT (talk) 17:36, 29 June 2021 (UTC)


 * They're good movies. There's a reason why they're called the Reception Wikis and not the Opinion Wikis. —Mario Mario 456 01:48, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

My pointers about the flaws aren't opinions, they're legitimate criticisms of the movies. I posted a plan here before being demoted.

EDIT: Also, a while back I proposed re-naming the Reception Wikis to the Review Wikis.

FreezingTNT (talk) 15:20, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, they are. The movies got good reviews, both from critics and audiences. So now shut up. —Mario Mario 456 17:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Ah, yes, plot holes (of all things) and contrivances and rip-offs and unlikable characters and continuity errors and inferior animation are all totally opinions.

FreezingTNT (talk) 23:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh dear, more drama. Look I feel like dead or not, neutral reception wikis would be a good idea. Also FreezingTNT, demoted or not, is still in charge of the rebrand since he came up with the idea first. Since I also think that movies with positive reception should be on GMW, I would think that creating neutral wikis would be our best bet. It doesn't even have to be a part of Qualitipedia, it can be somethting separate altogether, like my Weirdness Network concept currently is (Absurd Shows & Episodes Wiki is a part of the future network). Also, there are a lot of movies with mixed or negative reception on GMW, such as The Lego Ninjago Movie, Star Trek The Motion Picture, and The Black Cauldron, to name a few. Not to start drama, but neutral wikis should be considered. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's best we not allow anymore replies here from here on out. Let's move on. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:25, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Request the deletion of these wikis

 * hispano76.miraheze.org
 * hispano76privado.miraheze.org
 * hispano76data.miraheze.org
 * ucronias.miraheze.org
 * ucronidata.miraheze.org

Due to some bugs noticed and I would like to restart my projects from scratch to reorganize my projects in the hope that I can continue editing them with more planning. I already have a backup of the existing content and therefore it can be deleted without any problems. Hispano76 (talk) 00:08, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hispano76 ✅ per your above request and reasoning. Note that the databases have not yet been dropped, so if you are wanting to recreate them sooner than approximately two weeks from now, you will need to request Site Reliability Engineering force through the databases being dropped earlier than that. This can be done, typically, with a Phabricator request, or you can just direct message Reception123. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 14:15, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * could you please delete my wikis? with those errors, there is no point in adding content.... --Hispano76 (talk) 17:29, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hispano76 ✅ (#1 and #2. Dmehus (talk) 13:38, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Delete my wiki and account, please
Please delete my wiki and this account as well. I've had a little too much time on my hands lately and wanted to save the world, but there are things closer to home I need to focus on.

Thank you PatternProjects (talk) 09:24, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Which wiki is it? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:19, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * PatternProjects I agree with DarkMatterMan4500 above that you should have specified the exact wiki you wanted deleted. In this case, though, since you have only requested one wiki and are a  on that same wiki, it's obvious, so this has been ✅. As an aside, I personally wouldn't have approved that wiki, as written, as a wiki creator as with that topic, I'd want to know more details, specifically and exactly, as to the content of that wiki. Dmehus (talk) 13:44, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Can you remove this wiki on the wikis I visited list?
When I was search wikis I accidentally clicked on this wiki and want this out of the list of visited wikis because it would make me look bad. It's called cumclicker.miraheze.org can you remove it of of the visited wikis, https://awfulmovies.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Gilimaster69

what would be great Gilimaster69 (talk) 02:39, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello! Unfortunately, because of the way the login system (CentralAuth) is designed, you cannot unattach your account once its been attached to a wiki. Sorry for the inconvenience. Agent Isai (talk) 02:43, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh it's ok Gilimaster69 (talk) 15:52, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Please lock this account
Yes, please lock this, as this is just another test account. Test example (talk) 17:20, 8 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Test example ✅. Dmehus (talk) 03:26, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for the following accounts on the :

 * JewishBlayer
 * JewishPlayerIsAPedophile
 * DarkMatterManIsAPedophile
 * DarkMatterManMolestsBoys
 * DarkMatterManIsBrentonTarrant

Could a Steward perform a CheckUser on all 5 of them as they appear to be targeting both me and JewishPlayer, and the latter 2 on the bottom is clearly targeting me, and why does that sound so familiar? Well, anyway, they all need to be checked, although JewishPlayerIsAPedophile, DarkMatterManMolestsBoys and DarkMatterManIsBrentonTarrant (2 of which are highly inappropriate account names, and contains libel on both of them) have been globally locked, I still think they need to be checked as soon as possible. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:33, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * The latter four accounts are particularly concerning and egregious. I'll lock and hide those for now and investigate at least the latter three tonight, given the obvious username similarity and likely relation. Dmehus (talk) 13:30, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Reception123 already locked. Dmehus (talk) 13:33, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:33, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for reverting, but I think you can just focus on this one first. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:41, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ and other measures enacted. Dmehus (talk) 03:23, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and welcome back. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Global lock for

 * Lock evasion . They created the article mh:Gyaanipedia:Farhan Rana Rajpoot on Gyaanipedia as a part of their self promotion. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 09:26, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ by Reception123. However, they made another account to evade that lock, which I have requested him to lock for lock evasion/abusing multiple accounts. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:48, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And that account has been ✅ for lock evasion. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:57, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't believe a lock was necessary here, and am unsure why Reception123 locked the user for what was really a very, very soft form of spam. We typically only lock automated or mass controlled spam only accounts/spambots. Given that the Gyaanipedia, Famepedia, and similar wikis are proliferated with self-promotional users creating user pages to promote their acting or singing careers, I don't believe we should be locking one user and not the others. That being said, I can appreciate the approach Reception123 took as it was entirely in good-faith but definitely very much an edge case, at best, as I had a similar recent case on Miraheze Commons where I contemplated whether the warning of a potential global lock would be appropriate, but ultimately decided that a warning of a local block would be appropriate. As such, I would kindly ask that Reception123 revert his global locks, and instead ask local administration (notably Mazzaz or even yours truly, in the case of Famepedia) to implement any local blocks as may be required. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 02:33, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The issue was that they massively advertised it on the Miraheze Commons Wiki and even here on Meta, which doesn't allow self-promotion at all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:17, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, still, as I say, pages can be creation protected at  and the user can be locally blocked in that event. Dmehus (talk) 13:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep. ✅ DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:30, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep. ✅ DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:30, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

VisualEditor not working on my end
Over the past month or so, VisualEditor has pretty much stopped working for me. On DifferentHistory Wiki, it's enabled in extensions, and yet it's not possible to use on my end. As an administrator of the wiki, I tried fiddling with the settings to get it to work, but nothing. Even weirder, fellow administrator (and wiki founder) Trevor807 has been using it without issue.

On other wikis (I've only really tried the Reception Wikis), the option to use the VisualEditor is present, but I get the same error message every time: "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500)".

The weirdest part is that, when opening this very page in VisualEditor, it worked fine.

I have absolutely NO idea what's going on here. BNSF1995 (talk) 04:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I've used VisualEditor on over 6 wikis without a problem, it does appear to be an issue on your end. I suggest maybe clearing your cache. If you have an AdBlocker, temporarily disable it to see if that's the issue. Additionally, make sure your browser is on the latest version. If all else fails, try clearing your cookies. Thanks! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:16, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Global locks for spam-bots on multiple wikis:


Please feel free to investigate the spam-bots that I have listed here too. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:58, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for MaisVocê Rules Est 2020:
Over a week ago, her account, Encantadia Rules Est. 2016, was locked for abusing multiple accounts, but guess what? She came back under a new sockpuppet account, with this proof to prove she's evading locks and sanctions. I ask that a Steward to please perform a CheckUser on her, not only from the behavioral evidence that was shown, but also still showing the same mentality from the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki by messing with someone else's sandbox like she did previously under other sockpuppet accounts. There's plenty of evidence there showing this. Thank you for reading. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:40, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Locked, clear evasion. -- Void  Whispers 21:23, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It was clearly obvious by behavioral evidence and the diffs that made a direct link. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:25, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Global lock request for TZoneM642
This user is a sockpuppet of a previously locked user known as "Inkster", and is inciting harassment by calling users insults such as "faggots" and even the N-word. Links:

Insulting us when confronting him for sockpuppeting.

Calling us the N-word on SephSpace. DeciduousWater534 (talk) 17:22, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I have reverted TZoneM642's disruptive reply as it was just clear trolling. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:53, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If could do a CU on TZoneM642 on the ,   and the  , that would be great right now, because the user (TZoneM642) has been a huge disturbance and nuisance to not only here, but other wikis as well. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:22, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh goodie, he's active now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:27, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey look, if it ain't . Maybe either him or Void could do this. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:55, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * DeciduousWater534 What makes you think this user is Inkster? I see no evidence of that from the username pattern or from the user's edits on Meta Wiki. Also, DarkMatterMan4500, please be very careful removing other users' replies from noticeboards. You may wish to disable Twinkle on Meta Wiki for the near-term as I've had to re-add a number of messages you removed in good-faith, though in error, recently. Dmehus (talk) 21:08, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Void has ✅ this. Dmehus (talk) 21:11, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sorry Doug. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:12, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. :) Dmehus (talk) 21:13, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Locked, clear lock evasion, user's behavior is entirely unwanted either way. I've re-removed the comment, as it is disruptive, adds nothing to the conversation, and is plain trolling. -- Void  Whispers 21:14, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks . And I do believe that just made a little mistake in good faith, and I could see why he was somehow a little confused. My apologies for any mishaps this may have caused. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:18, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, and Doug, just a heads up for clarity and context, this diff which was where he slapped the deletion tag for no reason in a similar fashion to Thorn Ice, one of his oldest socks, his behavior towards us over a blog post debunking their wiki, claiming we went full YandereDev without even explaining or showing evidence of any kind, resorting to homophobia for no good reason whatsoever, and even gave someone a rude response in the form of an edit summary by giving them a snarky comment. Yeah, should've gathered them here as well to begin with. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:55, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

User rights on and
Hello can you give me autoconfirmed on Dreadful Literature and Rotten Websites wikis

https://dreadfulbooks.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gilimaster69 https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gilimaster69

Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:20, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Not done. It appears logged in users should be able to edit these wikis just fine, and in any case, this isn't really something that falls under Steward responsibility. Please contact a local administrator instead. -- Void  Whispers 21:26, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In addition to what Void has said, I would just add that this is something Stewards can do, provide local administrators are not recently active. Both of those wikis had either fairly active or very active local administrators (especially the latter one). Dmehus (talk) 21:31, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe you can ping @DarkMatterMan4500 here can do it Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Preference would be for you to message him here. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 21:35, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll grant you the confirmed statuses for a while. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:34, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * What does it mean for a while this is not temporarily? Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:36, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You only need it temporarily until the system gives you autoconfirmed automatically. Dmehus (talk) 21:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * What I meant is this permanent Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:39, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's likely temporary until granted autoconfirmed permanently. Dmehus (talk) 21:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Election on Animated Muscle Men
I made an election on the Animated Muscle Men Wiki to regain my bureaucrat status and the election ended yesterday. Here are the results. https://animatedmusclemen.miraheze.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page Grust 2.0 (talk) 15:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Grust 2.0 So, firstly, as a procedural matter, to ensure you are not an imposter of Grust, would you mind logging in to that account and confirming that this is your legitimate alternate account, in accordance with our Username Policy? If you cannot remember your password, please try to request a password reset. If you do not have a confirmed e-mail address on file for that account, please do your best to try all possible account passwords you might have possibly or remotely used. Otherwise, while it might seem a bit bureaucratic, I don't see how we can reasonably make an exception for you here, absent an actual confirmation edit, so you will need to file a global rename request for Grust before I can assess your local election. As an alternative to requesting a rename, you have the option of usurping Grust by posting a note on their user talk page here on Meta Wiki, wait about seven (7) calendar days for them to object (which would not happen if you and Grust are the same user), then return to this thread, and ping me to complete the usurpation request. Grust would be renamed Grust (usurped) and you would be renamed to Grust. Thank you for understanding. Dmehus (talk) 02:14, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay sent a talk page on Grust. Grust 2.0 (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Dmehus Nobody replied on Grust's user talk page for 7 days. Grust 2.0 (talk) 14:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Grust This username usurpation request has been ✅ (#1 and #2). As a housekeeping note, this was a follow-up to this previous request. Would you mind having Str8Muscle reply here by confirming that it is your legitimate alternate account? As well, please note that it would've been ideally better for you to have used that account rather than Grust 2.0 as, technically, if you and Grust (usurped) were not the same person and Grust (usurped) returned, they could request your account be locked as a Username Policy violation and to claim their name back. I don't believe that's going to happen as I do believe you're the same user, given that other users have locally supported your election. Nevertheless, it's an important reminder. Finally, have you now added a confirmed e-mail address to your new account and to your Str8Muscle account, to prevent this problem from reoccurring? Dmehus (talk) 22:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately Str8Muscle cannot reply as that account doesn't have a confirmed e-mail address as I was originally going to retire. However, I'm not going anywhere anymore so my new account does have a confirmed e-mail account.  Grust (talk) 19:03, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No wait, it did have a confirmed e-mail. I'll have it replied soon. Grust (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Delete kawipedia.miraheze.org
Hello Stewards, I am Mazzaz and I want to delete my wiki (kawipedia). I have been too busy to manage it and it's scope is similar to the scope of famepedia where I regularly contribute. I am the only founder and contributor on that wiki. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused, if any. Thank you! ~ Mazzaz (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Mazzaz ✅. Separately, regarding your request for a global lock for cross-wiki promotional user pages, speaking as a Steward, I trust you can appreciate that I don't feel this is appropriate for a global lock, for several reasons. For one thing, we're not Wikimedia whereby we're so strict so as to globally lock users that merely promote themselves. Secondarily, some wikis (notably, Gyaanipedia, even overly allow self-promotionalism). Further still, the user could also create their own wiki(s) promoting themselves. Finally, as a somewhat minor point, this is, presumably and ostensibly, the user's real name. As I said, though, I can definitely appreciate where you're coming from in terms of your likely activity on the Wikimedia wikis, but, as I say, whereas the Wikimedia wikis are all owned by one entity, Miraheze wikis are owned by local communities; Wikimedia Foundation wikis are locally run, yes, but, globally, they are owned by the Wikimedia Foundation. It's an emerging area, though, so I can totally appreciate your request and even to Reception123's lock, which I've asked him to revert with whatever log summaries he prefers. In terms of local blocks, that could be done; however, speaking as a local Famepedia wiki, I personally do not feel a local block is warranted and, if the original account is blocked, personally think we should revert it. I would rather see us delete and creation protect the requisite pages in question at   level, provide a warning to the user via their Famepedia user talk page, guiding them as to any local policies on the wiki and to user accounts policy, a global policy to which all Mirahezians are obliged to be bound, and then consider a local block if the problem continues. Hope that makes sense. :) Dmehus (talk) 03:44, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , well thank you for the good advice. After their global lock, I have unblocked them on Famepedia. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 05:12, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , I have now blocked their sock account because they are abusing multiple accounts to promote themselves. I have no problem if they appeal to unlock their main account,  (which is unblocked on FAMEPedia) but it looks like they only want to have their article published on FAMEPedia in any way and that's the reason why they are editing! I am not sure if FAMEPedia allows self promotion,  does FAMEPedia allow self promotion? If so, I have no problem in letting them create the article they want but since their main account is locked I wouldn't let them create the article from any other account. They'll need to appeal the lock first and create that from their main account. ~ Mazzaz (talk)  14:23, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speaking on FAMEPedia's local policies regarding whether self-promotion is allowed or nah, FAMEPedia is founded on 5 pillars including but not limited to Being Civil, Editing from a Neutral Point of View, No Firm rules, Free contents and Encyclopedic contents. So in any way, If a user wanted to write about theirself, then it should be from a NPOV then as long as it is cited reliable citations/sources, then they are good to go. Notability isn't a strong rule at the moment, But that shouldn't make a user to create other accounts while one is blocked, It's called Sockpuppetry and It totally not allowed unless the other accounts are disclosed on the main account.
 * So I believe with this, I've answered so many questions. Ugochimobi (talk) 16:46, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , thanks for the explanation! Well I can see a lot of BLP's which are either unsourced or their author has written content demonstrating that the subject is notable but actually they aren't like the case of Farhan Rana Rajpoot. He still writes that he has over 1,000,000 subscribers on YouTube, but the channel link he points out has only 23 subscribers, I checked. So, do we need to delete all these type articles or draftify them (although I will prefer deletion)?. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Taking strictness aside, Let's draftify them because hundreds of these users you see on FAMEPedia are users who their articles were either 1. Marked for Deletion on Wikipedia, 2. Their articles were rejected on Wikipedia, 3. Or any other reason, probably blocked or something. So yes, we might draftify them, there's actually a script to Draftify articles on FAMEPedia, you could probably find it on my common.js locally. Thanks. Ugochimobi (talk) 17:16, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * While I understand that really anyone can write about themselves on FAMEPedia as long as they're neutral, the issue here is that many of those users later go to other wikis, namely Commons, and self-promote, upload images about themselves and make user pages talking about how great they are, how big of a "celebrity" they are, and so much more, all of which violate local policies on those wikis. In the past 3 days, we on Commons have had Farhan Rana Rajpoot and Josephwcarrillo go on there and self-promote, both originated from FAMEPedia. I ask that you please add a notice when creating a page stating that users cannot self-promote on other wikis (such as Commons, Meta, etc) where this is a violation of local policies and copy/paste the contents of these article onto there. I know we on Commons can probably add a notice too asking users to be aware of local policies but by adding a notice on FAMEPedia, you can prevent spam on other wikis where notices don't exist and also prevent users from even thinking about it. While I understand that these users probably operated on good faith and didn't know that it was a violation of local policies to self-promote, as outlined before, such a notice will make them think twice before spamming. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:49, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information but firstly let me correct something, I love when facts speak for themselves without any qualifier, just like the many users you stated above, I think lately it is only few users, about 2 of them that was reported self-promoting themselves on commons. And I think the easiest way to stop that shit is me, Being more active on Commons so that they'll know that the same users on FAMEPedia are also on every other Miraheze projects. And then I'd probably add a notice about self-promotion on the notice that appears whenever an article is being created. Thanks very much. Ugochimobi (talk) 22:08, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * First of all, thank you for your correction, indeed, recently, only 2 have been warned and banned from Commons for self-promotion and there are also just 2 others who came from FAMEPedia and uploaded images of themselves in a semi-promotional way but haven't spammed and have obliged by the local policies so far. I do believe I overexaggerated when I said that many of those users later go to Commons, most don't, it's just a few problematic users who do. Additionally, this issue isn't one that is only contained to FAMEPedia, it's also Gyaanipedia who has users go to Commons and self-promote. While lately, it's only been ~2 user, there have also been others who have originated from FAMEPedia, like Iamsyrs (who was banned on FAMEPedia and who self-promoted on Commons), Mr Bittu Official (attempted to self-promote and had their page deleted) among some others who haven't been banned yet because moderation on Commons seems to be a bit lacking. Regardless, Countervandalism is a group effort, your suggestion of making your presence seen on Commons is a very good one, like that, they'll see that they can't easily spam or claim that they didn't know they couldn't do X thing because if you've already warned them. I also think that maybe Commons admins could add a notice reminding users that they can't self-promote, that way, both Commons and FAMEPedia pitch in to try and avoid self-promoters. While I understand that they act in good faith, some abuse that good faith assumption and evade locks and self-promote even after they've been warned and by maintaining a presence on both wikis, you can help ward off cross-wiki abuse. Once again, great idea, and thanks!  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 22:49, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I do believe that FAMEPedia's policies are user-friendly ones and only vandalism or cross-wiki spammers that wouldn't abide by these policies. They're too simple to be disregarded. And I also believe that if Commons set out some local policies that FAMEPedia also states then we're all guided by same rules then no one tries to self-promote when Commons states that Self promotion isn't accepted. So yes, concerning my Appearance on Commons, I think I should also take commons as a very close sister wiki to FAMEPedia because indeed they are, Many of FAMEPedia's pages also regard Commons. There's even a template on FAMEPedia called Commons category. It is used to link Media's in FAMEPedia that are also present in Commons. I think that is why those 2-4 users went to Commons, Lol. But Whatever the case may be, We'll combat this cross-wiki spamming together, I believe this doesn't happen only between FAMEPedia and Commons but also in other wikis. Ugochimobi (talk) 21:01, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Most verily indeed. I see that some users might confuse Commons as being the same as FAMEPedia because FAMEPedia links to Miraheze Commons when uploading images so users may confuse the two. I don't think many users know what a free/non-free file is, I think maybe the upload page on FAMEPedia could be redesigned in a way that allows users to learn a bit more about what that means. Today, we had someone from FAMEPedia self-promote which led me to discover that. Maybe the page could be revised to give users a bit more info about what licenses are and to make sure they understand what Commons is and what FAMEPedia is. I also believe that mediawiki:Extension:UploadWizard might be able to help as we can help guide users using the same extension used by Wikimedia Commons and maybe we might be able to add a notice alerting users that Commons is not for non-free images/self-promotion and we can direct them back to the wiki they came from. I will pass that suggestion to the Stewards/Commons admins but my suggestion about maybe redesigning the upload page to lecture the user about what free/non-free images are/that Commons doesn't allow self-promotion still stands. Let me know what you think, thanks! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:36, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

, that's what I wanted to do a few days ago but later Farhan Rana Rajpoot drew my attention towards them. I have seen many users (on FAMEPedia) who upload files without licensing. Maybe we can add more info about licences and revise that page in such a way that users will know that commons is not same as FAMEPedia. ~ Mazzaz (talk) 05:45, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think a lot of users don't know that FAMEPedia != Commons and that's why they self promote. I'll go on FAMEPedia maybe later today and help draft a proposal and help patrol the wiki if that's alright with the administration. Hopefully we can get something done. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:51, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * All your suggestions above are much appreciated, Actually when I was installing that upload script (File upload wizard) on FAMEPedia, I thought of that (showing a guide on what Non-Free contents are that is why when you look somewhere around in the File Upload Wizard (I can't remember the specific place it is), you'll find a page that links to Non-Free contents and I believe a user that doesn't know what a Non-Free content is would love to check the page to see that. So most times I think the few users who go to vandalize or self-promote themselves are very much aware that they're not supposed to do so. Some are intentional vandalizers. But we'll see how we could work this out together. Thanks. Ugochimobi (talk) 15:43, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Automatic rights on new wiki not received
Greetings. I have requested a new wiki, Critical Receptions which has been accepted. However, I have not received sysop and bureaucrat by default. I'd like to request these rights be added to me manually. Thank you. -- Raidarr (talk) 12:37, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive IP troll on Nonciclopedia Wiki that needs to be dealt with:

 * ✅. Dmehus (talk) 21:37, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and I'm terribly sorry for not providing you any context of why we suspected Inkster was using his TZoneM642 account, as I should've explained it to you if you were around to see it. So, I think this should clear up the confusion why you thought you didn't see any evidence. I actually wrote it on Discord too, as MarioMario456 did the reporting first thing. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Generally speaking it's probably best to not engage with a troll on another wiki where you don't have admin. It's better to clean it up once and be done with it, then force the issue to get drawn out by edit warring until an administrator shows up.
 * In any case. Blocked and cleaned up locally. -- Void  Whispers 21:38, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * @Void I think you mistaken DarkMatterMan4500 with MarioMario456  Gilimaster69 (talk) 21:43, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I thought perhaps so, but no, if you look locally, MarioMario456 was edit warring with a long-term abuse case on that wiki, I believe. Dmehus (talk) 21:46, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I stayed out of it, as I'm just realizing that it's better to revert once, then watch the fireworks from there. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:49, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh by the way, Doug, remember when you told me to remind you about Commagate and Cmon? (Sorry if this is off-topic,) but if you can remember, there was plenty of behavioral evidence from a blog post regarding Larryding in question. These comments from Commagate and from Cmon should be an indication of such, and not just from the excessive spamming either. In fact, it's strange how those 2 users would suddenly know about this blog post, and write a reply to SuperStreetKombat like as if they were socks of Larryding.

Can you delete sephspace.miraheze.org?

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * ❌ per the rationale articulated here. If users are repeatedly harassing a user off-wiki or on another wiki, that's a user conduct issue, and can be dealt with on a user-by-user level. Dmehus (talk) 17:41, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, there's been a number of problems with the wiki, and not just the userbase themselves. They seem to be okay with insulting other users, resorting to vandalism, abuse, homophobia like this example, and at worst, racism from here on the wiki this Requests for Comment is about, and this has been through some form of scrutiny for a few months now. The users in there tend to stalk other users (not saying all of them do, but for the vast majority, they do), such as one incident revolving around VosVosKitsune. I don't really get what their beef is with her, but as far as I am aware, she did do terrible stuff like 2 years ago, and constantly holding grudges against her, even if she is just minding her own business on one of the wikis she's administering. This needs to end immediately. This wiki is literally the Kiwi Farms of Miraheze, even if it's private. Their hate page on reception wikis and these recent change logs clearly show the systematic and unresolved Content Policy and Code of Conduct violations on the wiki. —<span style="color:red;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#f00,#c04);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#808,#40c);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Mario <span style="color:purple;background:-webkit-linear-gradient(0deg,#20d,#00f);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">456 15:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * A good example would be their constant stalking against a user, VosVosKitsune, and they think it's okay to still poke fun at her even after 2 years of the drama being supposedly laid to rest. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:04, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 that's an example of a user conduct issue, for which the noted user was ✅. If users such as Eiji or Inkster continue in this vain, they will continue to be globally locked. That does not mean deletion of the wiki is required. Dmehus (talk) 16:37, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ I'm not seeing enough enough of Content Policy issues that are both egregious and systemic. If we deleted wikis merely because of a problematic page or two,  would've been deleted awhile ago as crucially, like with that example, this wiki's bureaucrats have been amenable to making corrections or deleting problematic pages when requested by global functionaries (notably, Stewards). Additionally, as a private wiki, while they are still obligated to adhere to Content Policy, there is some degree of additional latitude given. My question, though, is how you are able to view this wiki without local   access? Dmehus (talk) 16:35, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

I have a problem with my new wiki
Hello! Recently I made a wiki request that was approved, which you can see in this link: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/19224

The problem is, I don't have the rights of ManageWiki permissions in that wiki which is strange since I'm the one who requested the wiki, therefore, it should give me that permissions.

Hope you find a way to fix this problem! Agent on Discord said me "It's possible that an error occurred and you weren't properly attached to the wiki."

how does auto confirmed work? and does it say that i am auto confirmed
So my question is how does autocomirmed work and does it say in user rights log that you have been auto confirmed and does it mean you dont nead comfirmed? i am just confused. Gilimaster69 (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2021 (UTC) Gilimaster69 (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * also do autocomfirmed and comirmed do the smae thing Gilimaster69 (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Autoconfirmed means that you've been around long enough that certain protections (mainly against spammers and vandals who show up for bad behavior) are lifted because it's assumed you are a real user acting in good faith by now. The largest daily change is not having to fill captchas for edits. Confirmed is when wiki staff add this to you manually. -- Raidarr (talk) 20:46, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

About my friend who was globally locked due to being underage
As a full-groun adult in my home country (Thailand) i remmeber when my friend in California (the owner of the Sinma15191 and SKMedia Projects account) was angry that he lost his account on August 2, 2020, due to him violating section 8 of the privacy policy (which prevents children under 13 from creating accounts on this site). his BD is 2007/06/13, even though he claimed he was born a year later. He even used my gmail to spam unblock requests to the staff, especially to Zppix and Reception123, who have banned my friend from making further appeals, and advertised my accounts on other sites (sory for my bad engrish, i never learned it until 2013).Tanawat2002 (talk) 22:21, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Please Revert Last AbuseFilter Action on philosiverse.miraheze.org
I have an AbuseFilter set up to block certain things for role play reasons (the wiki is supposed to be a wiki in a fictional universe where these filters are required by law), and I accidentally triggered the filter when trying to fix a typo on a page. I tried to dismiss the warning, but I hit the wrong button and now all of my rights have been revoked! Please revert the last action taken by the filter (filter #1), and I WILL also disable “remove from groups” on that filter to prevent this from happening again once you do this!

How can i make a Small Article Banner?
I mean, if a article is very small, a banner at the top appears FranciscoLol2009 (talk) 16:50, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you mean templates like this one (save the text)? If so, what many do is copy templates from other wikis and import them to their own. You could try doing that. You can then insert the template into small articles. Note that templates are not automatically added onto articles if they meet certain conditions, that can be done with the use of a bot that scans pages and adds templates accordingly. If you require more assistance, I recommend you ask on Discord or IRC as it is easier to explain on there. Thank you! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:43, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser request for Teen Titans Go! Rocks:
I have a strange feeling that Teen Titans Go! Rocks might be a sockpuppet of DearMaster6/The something guy mainly because they have claimed that the Lion King (1994) was a rip-off of something without explaining why it is. This diff from the Best Shows & Episodes Wiki, for example, is strangely similar to this diff, considering how both of them have said the exact same thing by claiming that the Lion King (1994) is a rip-off of Kamba the White Lion without even showing any evidence of it. I believe this is no coincidence that they are no doubt related to each other. Please note that they've made similar edits across other wikis in such a strange fashion.

 * Not to mention that the suspected master account, DearMaster6 also said something similar to what the 2 sockpuppets have said, with the same "It's a rip-off of X" claim, as shown on other wikis. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:41, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if someone were to look into this if they can. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:30, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

There is a wiki with pages copied (fully or partially) from other wikis.
Hello. I recently discovered a wiki that has pages that have been fully or partially copied from other sites. It's called Beach Ball Wiki. Here's the link: https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page The wiki was created by a user named Caidin2009 (also known as Caidin Johnson), who is known for his long-time vandalism on certain articles on Wikipedia and Fandom. I found this wiki back in June of this year, and I did some investigating. Some of the pages on the wiki are taken from Logopedia (a wiki on Fandom) and some are taken directly from Wikipedia (along with broken links).

Here are some examples: https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Paramount_Pictures (This page's content is taken directly from Wikipedia's article about Paramount Pictures.) https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Castle_Rock_Entertainment (This page's content is taken from two CLG Wiki articles. ) https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Beach_Ball_Wiki_Tutorial_Guide (Almost all of this tutorial guide page's content is taken from CLG Wiki's tutorial guide. ) https://closingthings.miraheze.org/wiki/Blue%27s_Clues (Almost all of this page's content is taken from CLG Wiki's Cannell Entertainment page, except he also added Blue's Clues-related stuff to the page. ) So yeah, a lot of content from other wikis have been copied and pasted into the Beach Ball Wiki. Hopefully, this problem will be solved. Thank you. Regular Badger (talk) 06:15, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it appears that many pages on that wiki are ripped straight from Wikipedia or other wikis. That's an issue as it also features no attribution to Wikipedia or any other wikis which is required by their licensing. This appears to be ongoing for a while, one article from at least 2020. It's also a bit blatant, the user seems to have left the signature of CLG Wiki admins at the end of this page. The user may not know that attribution is needed and may be confused. Maybe a warning might be best in this situation. Regardless though, Stewards will surely assess this shortly, thank you for taking the time to report it.

Close wiki request
Hi. I want to close this wiki, the Roblox Rise of Nations wiki, as it is unofficial, is clearly a copycat of the real Roblox Rise of Nations wiki on FANDOM, and is currently run by RealKnockout, a former bureaucrat that is banned on our wiki for several reasons. Most of the pages are copied word for word (even some of the code is not working), and the Miraheze wiki was created on May 2021, but the FANDOM wiki was created around September 2019. Many of our staff, including the current bureaucrat of the fandom wiki, ZackRON00, gave me approval to write this message, and you can ask them for more questions. Thank you and have a nice day. TheRichSeries (talk) 17:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * First of all, the wiki has had the pages imported correctly from the Fandom version, correctly linking to the source wiki which, in turn, links to the source wiki's contributors. If I'm being honest, it sounds like you might be active on the Fandom wiki and disappointed the wiki has been forked on Miraheze. I would also remind you of Code of Conduct in your references to other users. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is correct. Although ZackRON00 created the wiki, RealKnockout now controls it and its content, and we want it taken down because Zack has abandoned this project, and it has ended up in the his hands, without our permission. We're now focusing on building the main wiki over on FANDOM. Thank you. TheRichSeries (talk) 18:40, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I find it strange how you're reporting that wiki, considering how a user was created for the purpose of attacking that individual. This makes me think that there's something sketchy going on here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, Rabby here, I'm also an administrator at the FANDOM wiki. And well we have no affiliation with that account from last time we checked, it's probably one member of our community going to attack him, we don't really want to do that. We just want the wiki shut down. Rabby (talk) 18:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Alrighty I logged in. Rabby (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * As long as it's not on FANDOM, there's really nothing else that could or needs to be done here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by nothing can be done? They are literally stealing the articles from the FANDOM wiki.
 * From what we've seen Realknockout just wants to steal the wiki and optimize it for Miraheze later. There is LITERALLY a user that has 1 edit saying, "Port from Fandom, will optimize for miraheze later", and on top of that they have a bunch of broken code in some user pages. You know why? Well, the source is just a port from fandom... Surely this breaks something here. Rabby (talk) 19:27, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * On top of this we already have a wiki backup on miraheze incase something goes wrong, we never gave permission for another backup. Shouldn't there be a rule against stealing wiki's from other wiki farms? Rabby (talk) 19:29, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What Copyright is the wiki under? The vast majority is under CC BY-SA, and the wiki is under that license so it depends on what license the Fandom is under ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 21:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The fandom wiki appears to also be CC-BY-SA. — Arcversin (talk) 22:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns, but they are not doing anything wrong. They are following the legal mumbo jumbo that the license has. No action would be taken unless they are not sourcing the wiki, which is a violation of the CC-BY-SA license. Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 23:23, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * True, there is a staff (creator I think) of the wiki named RealKnockout. Buk kit  (talk) ( C ) 22:28, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thus making this request pretty much demoralizing what is fair use, and what's not. That's just my take on this section, considering this very fact that the wiki that and  are mentioning falls under that same license, meaning it's not violating anything of the sort. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @Bukkit I had a talk with Fandom staff and we did notice that the copy Miraheze wiki hasn't credited the original in any article from what I've noticed.
 * They replaced the Fandom's version of the wiki discord server with theirs, and so on and so on. Rabby (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * They basically have no attributions. Rabby (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

This definitely won't resolve anything considering that both the FANDOM and Miraheze versions appear to be running under the CC BY-SA copyright. This is going to be marked as by an administrator if the argument doesn't cease. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:18, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Could somebody please just end this already? The direction this is heading is disaster, and I don't want this to perpetuate into some type of drama war. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Did you delete my replies? I talked with Fandom staff about this and we noticed that the other wiki [on miraheze] did not source anything. They replaced our discord server with theirs, so on and so on. They basically have no attributions.
 * If you guys can't delete it, that's fine. It's just a tad bit frustrating. Rabby (talk) 23:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I did, and I think I made myself clear on the licenses, so I shouldn't really be repeating myself. What's the point of processing this, when I feel like you and TheRichSeries here in this section isn't assuming good-faith, and is biting the user in question? Wouldn't it be better off if you and Rabby just simply ignored RealKnockout and go on with your day? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:42, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Rabby My apologies for DarkMatterMan4500's reverting your replies. I'm not sure why he reverted your replies, though as they were made logged out, he might've mistaken the replies as vandalism. Nevertheless, I've now suppressed those revisions. I've had a look at  and I do see that Reception123 imported the pages following a Phabricator ticket here. Now, I do note only the current revision was imported, so it's not clear to me whether this was (a) a full XML dump from Fandom's Special:Statistics page or (b) a partial XML dump based on pages RealKnockout exported. Ideally, the edit summary should also link to the source page in question, particularly in this case since we don't have full contributor history. However, if we had full contributor history, while an edit summary link would be also nice, technically speaking, we only need to have links to each page's contributors. So, after reaching out to Owen, in my community capacity, is to reach out to RealKnockout to effect remediation. Dmehus (talk) 23:47, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

CheckUser Request for Lastflash and Bakerbeat5:
I am requesting this mainly because the 2 users in question have been acting pretty strange, and here are the following things they have done: Let's see here, Lastflash has annoyed DeciduousWater534 in the same style as Larryding, and Bakerbeat5 has replied to one of their own talk pages (which I assume is being ran under a different master account. Also, additionally, I found that another strange suspected sock, Championthegoat has made this compelling edit, pretty much confessing to being Cbolt12, or another strange sockpuppet account for that matter, which raises a red flag, if you ask me. I'd like this to be investigated when you guys get a chance. If it's confirmed to be the same person, please lock them along with any additional accounts that they may own. Thanks. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:26, 18 July 2021 (UTC)


 * DarkMatterMan4500 I'm going to mark this as ❌ as Lastflash has made zero edits or log actions cross-wiki, so you have no suspected target for Bakerbeat5. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, but what about Championthegoat? I find it pretty strange how they edited on Cbolt12's sandbox, which was moved there by MatthewThePrep. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:33, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure why you are trying to double-barrel your requests here, but you haven't linked to anything compelling in any case. Dmehus (talk) 21:35, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Very well, guess we could leave it as is unless stated otherwise. Thanks again for responding DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:35, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. Please start a new request if you see further cross-wiki edits from either of those users that might suggest a likely relation. :) Dmehus (talk) 21:36, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Note, too, that user board messages do not produce any edits or log actions. Even if they did, though, I don't see anything compelling here. Dmehus (talk) 21:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Deletion Request
Hey Stewards, I want to delete this wiki I wanted to make, as I don't think I'll have the time to add all the pages I want to make due to how crazy my work schedule has been. I think when it frees up a bit, I'll request another - although different in terms of topic - wiki, I just think this should go for now. Additionally, I talked with other members of NUMTOT (the group I was making a wiki about, which I am a part of) and it seems like they want to create a full-on website instead of a wiki. Thanks in advance! ChessPiece21 (talk) 01:15, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Qualitipedia power abuse case
As I have discussed before, two of Qualitipedia's admins, MarioMario456 and DuchessTheSponge, have been abusing their powers to attack me.

First we will start with DuchessTheSponge. We will not include what he did to me on FANDOM since that is off-site, but I will discuss what has happened here. Here is everything that Duchess has done against me:
 * Back in December, he blocked me on a bunch of different wikis when I appealed my block on his talk page on my wiki, The Wow House Wiki. The talk page has since been deleted due to containing profanity.
 * He has repeatedly reverted my edits. Take a look at his talk page here (User talk:DuchessTheSponge). If you look at the history you can see a while ago I apologized to him twice but he just reverted the edit. He also reverted my edit on the SpongeBob SquarePants page on Best Shows & Episodes Wiki (see here: mh:besttvshows:SpongeBob SquarePants (Seasons 1-5, 9-present). In the history of that page I added Prehibernation Week to the list of good episodes because it seems to have positive reception. However, he reverted my edit, while again using profanity in the edit summary. Also, when I asked why Worst Music & Songs Wiki was created rather than continuing the election on Horrible Music & Songs Wiki, he just reverted my edit. See here: mh:worstmusicandsongs:Talk:Worst Music & Songs Wiki (see the history), and blocked me there despite me not having done anything wrong there.
 * He has falsely warned me several times:
 * He warned me for reverting his edit which didn't really make sense at the time, apparently that is considered "vandalism". See here: mh:freshwebsites:User talk:Blubabluba9990.
 * On Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, he warned me for marking the Prehibernation Week page on that wiki for deletion since at the time I felt it had majority positive reception. However, when I told him that the warning was invalid, he blocked me (see here: mh:terribletvshows:User talk:Blubabluba9990.
 * He even warned by friend BookFandumb1 just for defending me (see here: mh:crappygames:User talk:BookFandumb1.
 * Duchess also deleted a bunch of my blog posts and messages on Crappy Games Wiki for no apparent reason (see my deleted user contributions on that wiki).
 * He has repeatedly deleted BookFandumb1's comments defending me on an attack blog he made.
 * As mentioned above, him and MarioMario456 both made a blog dedicated to spreading lies about me, and trying to turn everybody against me (which is linked in an above discussion).
 * He has deleted several of my user pages on almost every Qualitipedia wiki.
 * And to top it all off, he is constantly defending ESB and acts like it is the best thing since sliced bread, ignoring the horrors I experienced there and shoehorning his personal opinions onto the page instead.
 * He betrayed our agreement that the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia page would be called Encyclopedia SpongeBobia (2007–2019, 2021–present), since when I was blocked he moved it back to just Encyclopedia SpongeBobia. See the page's history on Fresh Websites Wiki: mh:freshwebsites:Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, and see his talk page on that wiki for the discussion: mh:freshwebsites:User talk:DuchessTheSponge.

Now on to MarioMario456. He has not committed as egregious power abuse as Duchess, but recently he has also had his faults:
 * He rages at me a lot when I try to ask him questions. See his talk page here on Meta. Pretty much any discussion I have with him ends with him raging.
 * He has blocked me repeatedly for the same reasons as Duchess: Random minor things which are not against the rules on any Qualitipedia wiki. To add to that, they have both blocked me on wikis I have either never contributed to, and some of them I never intended to contribute, I just visited the wiki briefly.
 * When I asked him to do some things on Crappy Games Wiki, he gave me a warning and raged at me. Also, in the deletion summary for the discussion me and Duchess had about proposals, he raged that Encyclopedia SpongeBobia has not gone downhill, even though it has. He also acted like me saying that was some sort of crime even though it is never mentioned in the rules that you can't state opinions. And as I said, he deleted the discussion, rather than even replying to it. You can see my deleted user contributions on Crappy Games Wiki.
 * He pretty much sides with Duchess.

In summary, this is not okay and is long–term abuse, at least in Duchess's case since the first time he blocked me cross wiki was in December. I would request a desysopping of both users across Miraheze or at least a warning. I would also recommend you delete the attack blog against me on Crappy Games Wiki. And I also need to be unblocked on every wiki I am blocked on. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:07, 20 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, it looks like either Duchess or one of the other admins deleted my messages for some reason. You can look at my deleted user contributions on those wikis for proof. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:14, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You have made this case in good part already, I suggest this be about the last lengthy comment and to keep the contents to one place, as posting literally everywhere in slightly different statements seems a lot like drama fishing. That said this makes specific claims that can be addressed, which could be of possible use as long as it's kept clean and consistent. I would suggest using/creating internet archive pages of content you want to use as evidence so it cannot be removed from here on out, though the Stewards can probably just look into specific things anyways so long as they have a link. Lack of specific references for evidence has probably been your greatest weakness so far. This has been a highly partisan back-and-forth saga and I have to imagine some people are a touch tired of seeing it play out. As much as some might have a full tin of popcorn as well. The use of links here is a good start, but again. Shoot for brevity, avoid making the same point multiple times and concentrate the evidence. --Raidarr (talk) 18:27, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * One problem, it is too late to make internet archives. Stewards can view deleted contributions though. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Thank you! Fffv7787 (talk) 10:26, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Broadly that's a local admin issue would only become a Steward one if they are unable to fix + inactive (actually at that point a Global Sysop might be good here). Unfortunately the local administrator (Bedriczwaleta) appears to have 2 edits on his own wiki and has not done squat in a long time, so this may be a case of disappeared admin. He did customize his permissions from the looks of it, so it's entirely possible something was screwed up. If you can make a list of what is specifically off, someone acting as a Global sysop might be able to fix it. Also, it's all about the colons; you can see how the indents work if you view page source (such as how I've just started a new section). --Raidarr (talk) 10:36, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
