CheckUser request for two sockpuppeteers
There are two sockpuppeteers with a long history of sockpuppetry on the CLG Wiki. The first of which is Jackson: Most of them clearly has the name "Jack" or "Jackson" in the username and their contributions usually consist of creating articles, all of which are around 1000 bytes are under.
 * JackBoy2
 * NotASockPup
 * Jackson 3
 * Jack Jackson (already globally locked)
 * Jackson Man

The next sockpuppeteer is Tanner: His usernames has his name, Tanner, or 2003 in them. Considering the patterns in the usernames he chooses, they are very likely linked to him.
 * Tanner's Media Archive
 * MrTannerEberhardt2003 EDCP
 * MrTDavid2003 EDCP
 * Tanner D Wiggles Fan EST 2003 EDCP

For a full list of the listed sockpuppeteers, visit here for Jackson and here for Tanner. Thank you. Camenati (talk) 01:24, 5 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I've done some locks and blocks for Jackson, however Tanner is too stale for CheckUser results to be viable. -- Void  Whispers 20:44, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

CheckUser request for some suspected sockpuppets of Anti villain/Gigdsclasp
I have noticed these 3 accounts were acting strangely in a similar fashion to that of Anti villain/Gigdsclasp. The Piyá account in particular sounds like a duck to me, considering that the username is similar to Pol Piyá and Pol Piyá Cm. Here are some examples of the 3 accounts editing in such a similar fashion to Anti villain/Gigdsclasp: Piyá vs. Freedom of Miraeze
 * Ejoyett
 * Freedom of Miraeze
 * Piyá

2 out of the 3 accounts here would resort to insults or hostile/aggressive behavior like the prior socks have done that are remarkably similar to the prior socks: Piyá vs. Ejoyett vs. PwanDonetskRussia vs. Idependient journalist

Also, all 3 accounts overlap on the following article(s): Akhmad Kadyrov Denis Pushilin

Behavioral-wise, it's obvious that the 2 accounts are related to each other, and I suspect the 3rd one is as well (Posting it here on the Stewards' noticeboard for the record by the way). DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:10, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You might want to see this report. I have already notified a couple of stewards in regards to these 3 suspected sockpuppets. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:20, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for locking the 2nd one. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:26, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
 * 4 more new accounts showed up:


 * In Ramzan Kadyrov's case, this diff with an inappropriate comment should be about obvious here. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:12, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The first account is possibly Anti villain but they aren't in the same geolocation and use different devices. The latter two in your original report are ✅ as Anti villain socks and have been ✅. All four of the accounts in your latest reports are 100% related to the first two accounts I locked and have thus also been ✅. I also locally ✅ their IP ranges as they exclusively abused that range and there were no other legitimate users on that range. Please let us know if you see any more of their socks, thanks. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:22, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Enable Extension:Cargo on https://www.puzzles.wiki/
Miraheze wiki URL: https://www.puzzles.wiki/

Now that T9477 has been resolved, we would like to use Cargo on our wiki. We plan to use a new Data namespace and put a couple tables of size 50K rows or less. And to query that data across templates on various content pages.

According to Special:Statistics, our total number of pages is 1100, and we plan to not hit the 50K page limit.

Overall, the extension would be hugely helpful for sorting through the data we have generated, and querying it accordingly, so requesting enabling the extension.

Thanks!

Request for exemption to dormancy policy
Hi, I would like to apply for the dormancy exemption for my wiki https://mandaepedia.miraheze.org/wiki It is an encyclopedia for a religion and is meant to be read only. It is basically complete, but I may add an article from time to time or minor edits. Thank you Mandaepedia001 (talk) 03:40, 12 September 2022 (UTC) Mandaepedia001 (talk) 03:40, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your request. I reviewed your wiki and do note that it is impressive that you have amassed over a thousand articles in three months. However, upon closer inspection, I see most (if not all) of your articles are straight imports from Wikipedia. Seeing that this wiki is essentially a Wikipedia mirror, minus any articles not related to the topic, I am ❌ this request. Thank you for your understanding. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:01, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, regarding being a Wikipedia mirror, the encyclopedia is rather adapted from Wikipedia using only sources from scholars that specialize in Mandaeism and Mandaean religious texts and leaders which differs from Wikipedia. You will notice, for example, from the main articles such as Mandaeism which includes sections not found in the Wikipedia article (prohibitions, similarities with Abrahamic religions, correct prophets) and Sabians which includes quotes from scholars not found in the Wikipedia article. I have gone through all the articles to make sure the sources are from specialists and Mandaean religious texts which is not the case on Wikipedia. I would be grateful if the exemption request can be reconsidered. Mandaepedia001 (talk) 15:55, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Move wiki subdomain, archive and create new wiki on old subdomain
I would like to request the Soulforged Wiki be moved to a new miraheze subdomain (soulforged0, or alternatively soulforgedprelude). I would also like to request an exception from the dormancy policy for that wiki. After the wiki has been moved, I want to create a new wiki using the old subdomain.

Reasoning being that the game the wiki was made for has ended and does not have any activity anymore, but is still useful as a reference on occasion. Now a successor is out which is also named just "Soulforged" with no subtitle, whereas the previous game has received the moniker "zero", "0" or "prelude" to differentiate it. I want people to be able to find information about the currently online game using the simpler name with ideally less confusion.

I am the sole administrator of said wiki. Zap (talk) 03:55, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Please request the former on Phabricator. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:46, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The old wiki has now been moved. Can you set the dormancy exception on soulforgedprelude.miraheze please? Can you also create the new wiki under subdomain soulforged or should I go through the normal wiki request process? Zap (talk) 23:50, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

I want my GreenGreen account fully globalized
I'm now done with Miraheze and have decided to move on from it since I've begin to grow out of it and want to move onto other things on different websites, and I would like it if you globalized my GreenGreen account please since I'm done for now and will never come back on these sites again.

So I would now like to say goodbye and far well to all of my friends on Miraheze. GreenGreen (talk) 15:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Requesting exemption from dormancy policy
Hello, I'd like to request an exemption to the dormancy policy for my Leaf Geometry Wiki. It contains reference information on a series of games that is essentially complete as of now. There will be edits in the future, but few and far between as we wait for other games to be released or translated. We have a small community relying on the wiki so this would be much appreciated.

mh:wretchedyoutubevideos:Wretched YouTube Videos Wiki
I am an administrator on this wiki, but closed the wiki because he thought that DarkMatterMan4500 (a bureaucrat on the wiki) had closed the wiki and made a new wiki. While this did indeed happen, as closed the wiki on June 1, 2021 and created a new wiki. However, DarkMatterMan reopened the wiki on November 14, 2021, and later imported pages from the wiki. As a result, I feel this closure should be undone. I have tried contacting Duchess about this but they have not yet responded so I will post this to see if I can get it done faster.

 * I already contacted him a few days ago about reopening some other wikis and he still hasn't replied, so I doubt that would work. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 06:54, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you should be patient. It doesn't seem appropriate for Stewards to rush to reopen a wiki that was closed for a reason by a local bureaucrat. I am pinging DarkMatterMan4500 for a response here. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:47, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Self-requested locks should not be requested at Requests for Comment, that has nothing to do with them. Please note that self-requested locks shouldn't be undermined by creating new accounts. Could you confirm that if you are locked now you don't plan on coming back (with this account or another). If there's a chance you want to come back it would be best to keep your account unlocked.

 * Goodbye ElementalHeroes. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 11:02, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Actually if there is a possibility of changing my name in secret without all of Miraheze knowing, I'll take that instead of a block.

ElementalHeroes (talk) 14:45, 23 September 2022 (UTC)ElementalHeroes.
 * The best you probably could do is a vanish, where all your info is removed. Your username will be randomized, but you will not be able to login to this account again. You can request it at reports.miraheze.org. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 19:13, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

I want to request the Cargo extension to be enabled on Soulforged Wiki. I've used it previously on the wiki for the previous game, now under Soulforged Prelude Wiki.

Dormancy Policy Exemption
Hello, I am the owner of TheRainRogue Fanfiction (for therainroguefanfiction.miraheze.org) and I would like to apply for an exemption to the dormancy policy. My wiki is an archive for my writing and it's meant to be read as it contains many different stories. I'm the only one that edits this wiki so there are many times where I disappear because of real life and simply can't edit it. I'd hate for all my writing to be gone because of this. I know it sounds silly, but I was hoping this wiki would be around long after me as a kind of "hey I was here, I did this" thing. Thank you for your consideration! TheRainRogue (talk) 18:29, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Is a 1 year exemption from the policy fine? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Would it be possible to get an infinite one? If not, I understand and will accept the 1 year, thank you very much. TheRainRogue (talk) 19:20, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai The reason I ask for an infinite one is because I put a lot of effort and heart into my writing, it means a lot to me. My fiction collection is one of the only things I'm proud of and I would like it to be around long after I'm dead, kind of like leaving behind my own legacy.

I have been blocked unfairly again on Qualitipedia
So here is a brief rundown of the Qualitipedia drama. So basically on August 30, 2022, a Request for Comment was made to close Qualitipedia. I of course voted oppose on this proposal. I later made a blog post in response to the recent retirement blog posts expressing that I was not goin to leave Qualitipedia. However everybody took this to mean that I was obsessed which is not true. Eventually I got blocked, but I then got unblocked since the situation was handled poorly. The whole time, users have been harassing me for liking Qualitipedia, calling me obsessed and telling me to "touch grass". Not only that, but Qualitipedia will be shutting down in THREE DAYS anyway since the proposal is successful. I love Qualitipedia and do not want it to shut down, but other users seem to think this means that I am obsessed with Qualitipedia. There is nothing in the rules saying that I cannot like Qualitipedia. Also, I have been blocked for CIR even though it is irrelevant as I have NEVER showed any incompetence. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:07, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * And now everyone has turned against me. Even Raidarr, who used to be on my side. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:15, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I was never 'on your side'. I was an advocate of fair dealing and multiple chances. You exhausted them and now you're giving me the pikachu face after ignoring every bit of advice I and everyone else has given you. It's literally a waste of time to discuss with you, as you avoid the point, ignore it, or change it slightly when you encounter a brick wall. --Raidarr (talk) 13:20, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's somewhat redundant to put this here. Bukkit already said to go to his talk page to discuss this. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 20:44, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * There are various posts where it has become apparent that you have an excessive attachment to Qualitipedia. For example, some of your posts seem to suggest that you advocate protests at "Miraheze's HQ" (I'm flattered you believe we have a physical corporate address), others talk about certain users being like "Jesus" to the Qualitipedia projects, among other claims you've made. I understand you like these projects and are passionate about them but your level of insistence borders WP:CIR territory in that you only make outlandish badgering statements with no substance on why the projects should be saved rather than actually providing and arguing solid points on how the project can be restructured in a way that will address all the claims of the RfC. This has worried various users who believe you need a break from wikis and I agree with them. For this reason, I will close this as ❌. You were placed on alert with your previous ban that there were certain behaviors found an issue and even after your ban was rescinded, you continued the behavior so as such, you will need to resolve this with local administrators. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 21:00, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * First off, I did not say I advocate for protests, I simply said that I would not be surprised if it ended up happening. And the second one was just a fun little easter egg that I wanted to try out, not knowing it would stir such backlash. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:10, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * And I did make an RfC using TigerBlazer's unary system idea to help improve the wikis but it was shut down. And I have said why the projects should be saved, since they are an encyclopedia for documenting reception (that is what FatBurn said). Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:16, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Blubabluba9990 Encyclopedia for documenting reception? More like a vehicle for biased content and general toxicity, that's one of good reasons why Qualitipedia is closing in three days and the block for Bluba on QP meta is actually fair and justified contrary to your posts.

Importing Qualitipedia Pages into The New Reception Wiki
There are at least a hundred users on Qualitipedia (including me) who still want to be active on all Qualitipedia wikis, they all would like to continue to view the pages there, so on behalf of all users please import all the pages that are there to The New Reception Wiki. Regards Szczypak2005 (talk) 10:33, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Woah, wait a second. FatBurn said that we would start from scratch. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 11:09, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Except he allowed pages to be imported, he told me on my talk page and also updated the wiki home page so you know, you can ask him too. Although he didn't say it on Qualitipedia. Szczypak2005 (talk) 12:13, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Marking as ❌ for two reasons: 1) Stewards do not have the ability to do this, only system administrators do though this task would be unduly burdensome but most importantly, 2) This would constitute a violation of the Content Policy's "No direct forks" clause as those wikis are still open and doing this would constitute a fork of those wikis. Users assume that the wikis will be closed but the RfC to close those wikis is not over yet and having a simple majority in the vote doesn't always constitute a successful request, especially with such a complex, multi-faceted RfC. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:00, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The wikis are likely to close anyways, so maybe once it closes. Maybe then we could. Nidoking (talk) 11:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

My Unfair CLG Wiki Ban
Recently I was blocked on a wiki called CLG Wiki. There reason was " rude to everybody in general" even though everyone else was rude to me. Example: I was posting my ideas for the new logo and most said "No, just no". They couldn't even let me know in a politer way. The constant bullying of the wiki and the overall toxicity of their forums irritates me. Could any of the stewards please notify them of this post as I am unable to contact any of them. I am not a rude person and the post I made where all out of rage and stress because the fire alarm went off 3 times today and I didn't get that much sleep and I could not get any breakfast and could not have a peaceful day. Please notify them. Thank you and have a blessed day. One more thing I have recently noticed on the forums they are still being toxic. They keep saying my ideas make the website look childish, but they failed to give me an idea of what they wanted. The block was made by ‪HibiscusCrown20‬.

I had originally warned DHX Cookie Jar Fanatic for leaving insulting and rude comments on our thread for an impending rebrand of the wiki (following recent events that led to an ugly fall-out with almost all of the Board of Directors) to other users who were disapproving and criticizing his proposals for the new logo. While I do think that some of the users criticizing his logo proposals could have been more polite with their criticism, DHX Cookie Fanatic was actively insulting and attacking other users who were criticizing said proposals, including saying that one of the critics had a "-1000 IQ" on the above linked thread. After seeing that another user reported him for this behavior on our User Reports page (which is where regular users can report other users for offenses for us admins to review and handle), I decided to give him a strong warning on his talk page as to give him the opportunity to correct this behavior before any further administrative action was taken, but once this was posted, he proceeded to make this forum post that continued to attack and insult members of the wiki community and also posted two comments on his report in reply to me on the User Reports page, one of which basically insulted me by calling me "chicken". Because of these actions, I officially decided to block him for one month with the given reason of "Continuing rude/insulting behavior towards other users despite strong administrator warning", and I have also left his talk page open in the event that he wants to appeal his block. That's pretty much all I have to say on my side of the story. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 21:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)


 * He left a request to be unblocked. His reasoning is as follows: "I have been constantly bullied on the forums of this wiki and unfairly treated. Everyone always goes after me. I will be leaving and I will be reporting this wiki of the constant bullying done on this wiki to me and to other victims on the forums of this wiki that you all refuse to deal with." While it's true we could have gone about it a better way and been more polite by the third and fourth logo ideas DHX Cookie Jar Fanatic posted, his treatment of us was no better! He claims our wiki was toxic. I fail to see how, unless he's referencing the September 9th drama. Unfortunately, him creating drama himself only adds to that, and it surely doesn't help his case, especially when he had the gall to not just call us "Karens," but also wish death on the Miraheze CLG Wiki (which we were just about to rebrand as AVID) in his "Screw the wiki" forum post that he made. I wanted to respond to him in a kind manner and convince him to return and turn a new leaf, but since I was under the impression that he did not want to do that (he basically chose the hard way over the easy way before anyone ever brought the question up), I decided to bid him farewell instead. Going back to the request to be unblocked (which is weird, because he just said before he was leaving the wiki), rather than clear himself up, he decided to throw me under the bus (as well as Nancer) by grouping me under "toxic people" and "non-accepting users" when I am neither of the kind. He also said I and others were "going after him" and inferred that I was racist (even though my speech in the forum post had no racist material at all). I can't really confirm on whether it's true or not, but other members have also pointed out on ENunn's personal server that he may or may not have been trying to pull the race card. It is with deep regret that I must say that he hasn't changed at all, and is still having a rude and hostile demeanor even while requesting to be unblocked. That's all I have to say.

 * No you didn't! You just left a hateful message on the post you liar. And you called the wiki I was going to a "Chum Bucket". Quit your capping. DHX Cookie Jar Fanatic (talk) 12:50, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I wasn't even talking to you! And I'm capping? I'm calling the Dream Logos Wiki a "Chum Bucket?" I was referring to the CLG Wiki the former BoD was starting up, thank you very much! And I was being hateful? I WAS BEING HATEFUL?! All I was doing was speaking on behalf of the community the nicest way I possibly can since it's been made clear no one approves of you personally attacking them. Are you trying to ruin my life or something? Are you trying to chase me? Because so far, it looks like it, even though you insist vice versa! SHADOWNINJA (talk) 14:37, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * who are you and why do you keep trying to bring me down? DHX Cookie Jar Fanatic (talk) 15:57, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * And you're trying to dox me?! On a Stewards' noticeboard?!
 * Wow... Just wow... SHADOWNINJA (talk) 17:44, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

What is even going on here with this thread? All I am seeing here are just a bunch of editors acting a bit uncivil towards one another. Can we just be civil about this? --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:52, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

CheckUser request for a suspected sockpuppet
Hi, I'd like a check on these three users for the Mental Block Wiki:
 * Sterkers
 * Male-Sleeper
 * Skgght

They've already been blocked by a fellow moderator (their edits were suspiciously similar, and I believe some vandalism happened after their first account got blocked); with that said, it would be nice to check, just to be sure, and, if these are sockpuppets, to block this IP range if possible.

Thank you! Dissentrix (talk) 23:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)


 * They are indeed sockpuppets. I have ✅ them and have ✅ their IP range. Let us know if they return. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 04:09, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! Dissentrix (talk) 07:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Question (3)
How do I request something from system administrators? FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 03:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Depends. What are you wanting to request? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:56, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I would like to request imports of pages from Qualitipedia wikis into the New Reception Wiki. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 21:58, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Global Lock Request
I know I could have made a request to unlock either of my previous accounts. However, since I wanted to make my life easier, I decided to create a new one just so that I can cast my vote on the RFC regarding Qualitipedia's closure. But now that the closure has been done, I would politely request to have my account locked once again because I no longer have a use for it. Thanks. Skias (talk) 07:29, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Could you guys move my pages over to the New Reception Wiki
With the wikis closed, I need a easier way to archive them, without having to copy and paste the source code. And there is not a way to move the pages over with all revisions copied and all edits assigned to users if they exist locally. So could it be possible for the Stewards to do it? I want my work saved on there. Nidoking (talk) 11:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * What pages? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 12:09, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I am going to link some from my special logs from the reception wikis, here  and a few here
 * I will let you know if there are a few more I would want to archive. Nidoking (talk) 12:17, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This is out of scope for this noticeboard. You can export pages via Special:Export. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 12:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * But it gives me an error when I try to import them or request them to be imported. Nidoking (talk) 12:20, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * And also I need the database name for The New Reception WIki in order to request a import. Nidoking (talk) 12:25, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Vanish Request
Hello, I'm planning to permanently retire my Miraheze account, because I've recently lost interest and I wanted to move on to other ventures. I may have contributed well, but it's time for me to go and never come back again. Thank you, Miraheze. XxxRazorbackxxx (talk) 11:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Request to globally lock account
I'd like to have my account globally locked since I no longer wish to be on Miraheze. TheShinyLucarioMaster (talk) 19:06, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
