Usurp PlantyB0i
Hello there. I am PlantyB0i. I want to get back on the wikis. However, my original account PlantyB0i ( https://awesomegames.miraheze.org/wiki/User:PlantyB0i which is this account by the way) had some problems due to me deleting cookies for a school problem. When the cookies were deleted, I tried to get into my account and I can never get in. Now I made an account PlantyB0i2. Now I need to usurp my original PlantyB0i. Heck, if you want proof of my Discord, go to the Qualitipedia server on Discord and you see my name in the admin's section. I'm gonna have to do proof like this as an indication that the Discord user RareWare64 aka PlantyB0i in the Qualitipedia Discord server is me. PlantyB0i2 (talk) 00:03, 27 March 2022 (UTC)


 * PlantyB0i2, did you verify RareWare64 to PlantyB0i on-wiki using WikiAuthBot? If so, the usurpation request can be done straight away. Otherwise, we will need to post a note here, and wait at least a week or so, to give that user (assuming it was not you, of course) a chance to object to the usurpation request. Alternatively, let me check with my Trust and Safety supervisor, Owen, on another potential option. Dmehus (talk) 00:14, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Recently I did use the authenticated command for WikiAuthBot and it tells me "authenticated as User:PlantyB0i2". What about the usurpation for my original PlantyB0i account? PlantyB0i2 (talk) 03:06, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * PlantyB0i2, this is now . Please see the link for the timeframe for resolution. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 03:23, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * PlantyB0i, this has now been ✅. Please do remember to add, and confirm, your valid e-mail address to your new account, should you forget your password. Additionally, I would also strongly recommend saving your password in a safe place, perhaps using KeePass or LastPass. Finally, if you do opt to enable two-factor authentication on your account, please also save your recovery tokens in a safe place. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 07:17, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Delete Colorpedia
The wiki Colorpedia is old (no contributions for the past 180 days) and per Dormancy Policy, can the wiki creators delete this wiki? Silicona (talk) 19:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Silicona, is TheCubee your alternate account, looking at the wiki request? If so, can you login and request this? Dmehus (talk) 19:09, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Silicona, assuming not, having looked into this a bit further, I can confirm the wiki is indeed eligible to be marked for deletion. The only reason it was not was a January 2022 SRE technical reset of all wikis' last RC activity dates. Therefore, in cases like this, Dormancy Policy does allow for manual deletion by Stewards. The reason I'm not sure this would be the best solution, though, is two-fold. Firstly, as an identified  interface language user, why not request  ? That should be available. Secondly, manually deleting the wiki would not make it available immediately (it's still restorable). You'd still have to wait a minimum of two (2) weeks before it could be dropped by SRE. That's if SRE ran the script to backup and drop deleted wikis in two weeks. It's their discretion when they run that script. So I'd prefer the first option. Dmehus (talk) 19:16, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * No, TheCubee is not my alternate account. Silicona (talk) 19:43, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Silicona, thanks. Let me know how you wish to proceed. Dmehus (talk) 20:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Silicona, it looks like that's been decided for you. MarioBonFan requested  be reopened. Thus, you can either (a) hold a local election there requesting bureaucrat and sysop permissions and stating how you plan to revamp the wiki or (b) use Special:RequestWiki to request , defining a clear purpose and scope for your wiki. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:51, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Can stewards go to mh:colorpedia:User:Silicona/Local election in Colorpedia? Silicona (talk) 18:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Silicona You've not answered my question on why requesting  would not work for you. Dmehus (talk) 21:14, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Inactive Bureaucrat
Request for removal of Bureaucrat/Founder User:OttoVonBisquick on the carnalinstincts wiki. Reason: User hasn't made any edits/has left the community for over a year (Ref: Contrib). I'm pretty much the sole contributor and Bureaucrat for this wiki. (Ref: Contrib) Transgressor (talk) 10:09, 6 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Transgressor, thank you for your request. Can you please notify the user that you've requested a Steward remove their  bit via their locally user talk page if they do not respond to your note (within a week or so of you leaving it) that they wish to retain the local permission? If no response, we can remove it in about 5-7 days or so. If your wiki has other recently active contributors besides yourself, you should also add a note on your wiki's Main Page inviting users to provide any comments on OttoVonBisquick's local user talk page. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 04:57, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Dmehus, no response from user. Requesting to proceed with the original issue, thanks. Transgressor (talk) 19:43, 13 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks Dmehus - done: see here. I'll get back to you in 5-7 days or earlier, should I receive feedback. Transgressor (talk)

Bot account rename
In accordance with my own request, I'd like to request that User:Arcverbot be renamed to "Chrsbot". — Arcversin (talk) 22:13, 8 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Chrs, though your bot was just renamed from ImportBot barely more than a month ago, I will ✅ this global rename request, since it's in keeping with your main account's global rename, with the understanding that you should not request a global rename again without a very compelling reason. Dmehus (talk) 02:32, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Chrs, ✅ per above. Dmehus (talk) 02:38, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Backrooms on wikia
I don't have much time to type this, but there is a page on the backrooms wikia that violates fandom guidelines, which could cause the wiki to get shut down. This is one of the largest wikis on wikia, and I don't even know whether it could be moved here. If it dies, 3 years and 2500 pages will be gone. Sheep42 (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to give away my wiki, I'm just wondering what to do with the other wiki. Sheep42 (talk) 15:50, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you a local administrator on the other wiki? If so, removing it might be the most logical step to take. Otherwise, if you’re unaffiliated with the Fandom wiki and this page doesn’t exist on the Miraheze version then there’s not much you can do. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:01, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Use WikiTeam dumpgenerator.py (with difficulty as it currently requires the older Python 2.7) to dump the Backrooms Wiki and then import the dump into Miraheze. --Rob Kam (talk) 17:19, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Delete woodland wiki
Can woodland be deleted? I'm merging it into another wiki.  Anpang 📨 01:41, 10 April 2022 (UTC)


 * This seems to be reasonable and in order; the deletion is ✅. --Raidarr (talk) 11:48, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Can someone please reopen Wage's World Wiki?
https://wage10.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=managewiki&user=&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers. It is because people can edit things and adding stuff to articles to help the articles. I will see if this works and the wiki could reopen. MarioBobFan (talk) 03:37, 10 April 2022 (UTC)


 * This wiki was manually shut down and its intended community and creative concept is long defunct. I'm not sure how it's stayed up this long given it was closed down in 2020 I see why, recent changes data was reset probably on the eve of its deletion. Nonetheless, I require a much more compelling case to reopen here, ideally an original operator with contributions to the wiki. For my part I'm going to have to declare . --Raidarr (talk) 11:42, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I ✅ with Raidarr here as well largely per the same or substantially similar rationale. Given the existing contributors, and multiple ones, had log actions and edits which together suggests some sort of coordinated action to close the wiki, I would also decline to reopen on that basis. Additionally, per the recent Dormancy Policy, personal public or private wikis largely or wholly about a certain subject wiki user may only be reopened by the subject user, or by Stewards with consent of either (i) an other party authorized by the subject user or (ii) the subject user themselves. I haven't assessed the extent to which this wiki is about the subject user, if at all, but the Main Page does suggest it may be, at least in part, Wage's personal "diary" of sorts. If there's any pages you wish to retain, you're welcome to export them using Special:Export, but you shouldn't just export all the pages, either. Dmehus (talk) 14:58, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * OK. It could be reopened, and I don't why it hasn't been deleted. MarioBobFan (talk) 22:34, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Given what Raidarr and I have described above, there's actually a more reasonable argument to manual deletion in accordance with Dormancy Policy here. Please also consider reviewing these "battle-tested English Wikipedia Manual of Style style guidelines with respect to indentation of your replies on talk pages (including noticeboards and user talk pages). Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:39, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Can you please completely disable an account
Hey you remember a user named, Kingjorbs? Well, he told me recently that he doesn't want to be associated with the site anymore, so can you please disable his name and profile pic on the wikis he's on? Just like this for example: "MirahezeGDPR e86691ebea3a336a8f8643e6b5243b20". It's just to respect his wishes, and the only reason he did that is that he decided to retire from Miraheze as a whole, and just recently he said he didn't want to be associated with the site anymore. Pen567 (talk) 00:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Pen567, we can definitely do that, sure, but that will have to be handled by the Trust and Safety team. I'll unlock the account now, so the user can provide a confirmation edit the Trust and Safety team, but can you also have the user e-mail the Trust and Safety team requesting that they want this done? For regulatory compliance purposes, they would also like to know the user's country of residence. Please ensure the user does not post this publicly, but rather e-mails directly to the Trust and Safety team. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:24, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I am actually an alt of the user, Kingjorbs, and Pen567 just came up to me right now, and asked me to comfirm it, so yeah I want you to completely disable my OG account, as I don't want anything to do with the site anymore, and I used a random email that I can't remember so I can't do what you said. Also, please delete all my comments from the wikis I was on, and I've actually moved on to other things, that I'm not even interested in the site anymore. Also the reason why I did the stuff I did (getting blocked from the wikis I was on, is because I wanted to retire from the site as a whole, and just recently I don't want to be associated with it anymore. So please do me a favor and please completely disable my OG account, and pretty much this one too. Drockson321 (talk) 00:45, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If I unlock your Kingjorbs account, will you confirm that here? Dmehus (talk) 01:05, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Drockson321, I've taken the liberty of unlocking your stated alternate account (Kingjorbs). Could you please login with that account and confirm Drockson321 as your alternate account? Additionally, can you confirm that you've e-mailed the Trust and Safety team with the requested information above? Dmehus (talk) 01:40, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes I have confirmed that Drockson is my alt account, and can I have a link to the email address to the Trust and Safety Team? Ik I'm late btw. Kingjorbs (talk) 19:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Kingjorbs, for your account confirmation edit. The Trust and Safety team can be reached at  . In your e-mail message to them, they will also ask you for your country of residence, or, at minimum, whether you reside within either (a) the United Kingdom or (b) the European Economic Area. If you reside outside those geographic areas/locales, they will still process your request, but there are additional regulatory compliance requirements with respect to timelines for action, mainly, with regard to users in those areas. Dmehus (talk) 03:32, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Disable my account
I would no longer like to use the Miraheze site. Can my account be disabled? BraceletyFan77 (talk) 12:54, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * BraceletyFan77, okay, this can be done. Please ensure you have a registered, confirmed e-mail address associated to your accoumt, that you remember your account password, and that you save your recovery tokens, if you have two-factor authentication enabled, as you will need them should you wish to either (a) e-mail Stewards  to request an unlock or (b) e-mail the Trust and Safety team later to request an anonymization of your account in accordance with the Data Request Process. If possible, can you please reply here confirming the above conditions to be true? Dmehus (talk) 07:04, 12 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late reply but yes, I remember my password, but I don't have an e-mail associated with my account. My account can be locked, I'm leaving Miraheze. - BraceletyFan77 (talk) 17:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
 * BraceletyFan77, okay, I will lock your account. It's technically recoverable, but any private data associated with the account will remain with the account in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Policy, of course. Should you wish to change your mind and request removal in accordance with the GDPR, you will need to e-mail the Trust and Safety team at, and they will very likely require a confirmation edit, so it will be imperative you remember the account's username and password in that case. Dmehus (talk) 18:32, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Dmehus (talk) 18:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Request an exemption from the dormancy policy: Wordle Hub
Wordle Hub(https://wordles.miraheze.org/, dbname: ) is a wiki for compiling a list of all wordle-like games. This wiki has 600+ entries and now it becomes hard to find a new wordle from the web. Based on this, I request an exemption from the dormancy policy. Thank you. Lens0021 (talk) 07:02, 13 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Lens0021, I can take a look at this a bit later, but are you aware that, in many cases, wikis do not need an exemption to Dormancy Policy, as wikis are only closed after sixty (60) days of complete inactivity (i.e., no edits at all, and no local log actions at all, either). Even where wikis are closed, any bureaucrat can reopen the wiki. If bureaucrats are not active, any contributor, or even non-contributor, to that wiki can request a Steward to reopen it, and that would be done, unless it was clear there was a local community decision to close that wiki. Wikis are only marked as deleted after one-hundred eighty (180) days of zero edits, zero local log actions, etc. Even there still, wikis can be undeleted by Stewards, upon request from an existing contributor to the wiki. Dmehus (talk) 07:16, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I see this would not be urgent. I just thought this will be required in the near future. Thank you for informing me of the details on the dormancy policy. Lens0021 (talk) 08:22, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Happy to help. I'll take a closer look at your wiki in terms of wiki activity, locally active community, and content on or before this weekend. Dmehus (talk) 02:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

[Ajhalili2006] Request for userpage redirect for my former username

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * ✅ per Andrei Jiroh's final response. Soft redirects, including soft interwiki redirects, are fine on Loginwiki userspace, provided they're for existing users, which in this case it is. Additionally, Andrei Jiroh is thanked for confirming their alternate d&ouml;ppelganger account. Dmehus (talk) 15:18, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

I would like to setup an user page redirect for my old username before the global account rename request on the Login Wiki and also request to possibly lock out that username for abuse prevention. Thanks in advance!

--Andrei Jiroh Halili (message me via Miraheze Meta user talk or local wiki) 08:09, 13 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Andrei Jiroh Halil, I can definitely do this, but first you will need to recreate your old username as an alternate user account, while logged in to your main account first, as otherwise we would be creating a global user page for a non-existent user. It will also have to be an interwiki redirect, as hard redirects are incompatible with the GlobalUserPage extension. Please let me know how you wish to proceed. Dmehus (talk) 02:44, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @Dmehus, I finished adding the on my old username, but it would be nice if  is available on LoginWiki since I link my current username's profile instead or going through Meta and also suits better in my case. Andrei Jiroh Halili (message me via Miraheze Meta user talk or local wiki) 09:20, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Andrei Jiroh Halili, thanks for your reply. I can definitely import Template:Soft redirect 2 to Loginwiki, that's not a problem. However, we do prefer not to create pages in  namespace on Meta Wiki and especially Loginwiki, particularly as Loginwiki serves the global user pages for registered user accounts. Otherwise, it would create potential identification issues if a user subsequently registered that user account and your existing soft redirect 2 template linked to your user page. If not, please ensure you are logged in when you create your requested d&ouml;ppelganger account. Dmehus (talk) 00:36, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Andrei Jiroh Halili, though it's quite possibly you, would you mind replying here from your main account confirming that DekuPH2006AJHalili is you, since that user was created from a logged out state, as per this log action? Dmehus (talk) 19:54, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I confirm that @DekuPH2006AJHalili is me, with committed identity hash  on both sides. I also updated the interwiki redirect link to point to my global user page instead.
 * ps: Should I also confirm that from my döppelganger account too just in case? Andrei Jiroh Halili (message me via Miraheze Meta user talk or local wiki) 03:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's great. Nah, that's fine, since the d&ouml;ppleganger account already stated this here, but that is fine either way. Dmehus (talk) 03:52, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll mark this thread as resolved and archived since @Dmehus says that's fine on soft redirect stuff. Please do not reply to this thread. Andrei Jiroh (Miraheze Meta user talk or local wiki | contribs across wiki farm | send email) 13:51, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Requesting exemption from dormancy policy for Godherja wiki (godherja.miraheze.org)
Due to the nature of developing a total conversion mod for a game, there will be breaks in activity where all the information is up to date and there isn't much to add until a new patch is dropped. As a result, we would like to request an exemption from the dormancy policy. :)

If you want to check out the mod and its popularity you can check its workshop page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2326030123 ReciterofPoetry (talk) 02:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Why was Thyrtu blocked?
https://terribletvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thyrtu. Also, I need the reason of why he was blocked. MarioBobFan (talk) 05:12, 16 April 2022 (UTC)


 * MarioBobFan, Thyrtu is not blocked on . There were, however, suggestions on the companion wiki of user accounts policy abuse occurring. As such, the user has been now globally locked as an illegitimate sockpuppet of RickERB23, who has been encouraged to take some time away from Miraheze, reflect on their behaviour, and then properly appeal firstly to Stewards when they're willing to abide by and respect our global policies. We will then concurrently assist the user in properly appealing their local blocks. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 05:24, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Please also note that you do not need to ask at stewards' noticeboard why every user is locally blocked. You should ask these questions locally first. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 05:26, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * OK. MarioBobFan (talk) 16:00, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Can you exempt Food Dye Studios Wiki from Deletion?
This is because, my wiki is almost finished and I don't want my wiki being erased. I want people to able to go to this wiki for visiting information about Super T from the comic book series called, "The Building Showdown". Knowing information about this show and anything that's similar to it. It has some information about the website. Detailing things about what an FDS Account is, its apps and so much more. Kew1119 (talk) 15:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)Kew1119
 * Kew1119, thank you for your request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy. I will aim to review your request later today, but to ensure there's no misunderstanding, most wikis do not need an exemption. This is because they have at least some level of regular activity. You should, therefore, note that wikis are only marked as "closed" after 60 days of complete inactivity (excluding user names and CentralAuth automatically attaching users to your wiki upon their visitation). Wikis are only marked as deleted after 180 days of complete inactivity (excluding the same as above and no log actions, no edits, nothing). They are still restorable at this stage by Stewards upon request of an existing contributor. As well, it's important to note that wiki databases are not dropped when they are marked for deletion; it can be anywhere from a minimum of two weeks after being marked for deletion and indefinitely; the decision is based on SRE's needs. Finally, for public wikis, one of our SRE volunteers regularly uploads XML dumps of all public wikis, usually at least semi-annually. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 16:00, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

change my name
change it to “that guy in the corner” Poop fart748 (talk) 15:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Poop fart748, thank you for requesting a global rename. That username is overly generic and  seems to be a meme used by cross-wiki vandalism only accounts. Therefore, if I might ask you to pick a sufficiently specific username to identify yourself, one which doesn't violate our Username Policy, of course. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:54, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes Poop fart748 (talk) 18:36, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Poop fart748, thank you. While you may have locked in your choice in name. Unfortunately, recent events have superceded that, and your account is now ✅ back up in their sock drawer. Please see also User talk:Octahedron foundation. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:46, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Enabling SemanticMediaWiki for Conworlds
On behalf of the Constructed Worlds Wiki, I am requesting the SemanticMediaWiki extension to be enabled on the wiki. Thank you! &#32;  centrist16 |  |   &#32; 02:02, 19 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Centrist16, this has been ✅. Please note that this is an experimental feature, may be disabled at a moment's notice with or without warning, and that you should retain regular XML dumps of your wiki. There was an uncaught issue that did not produce itself during the testing phase on our test environment. It will require SRE being available to run a MediaWiki maintenance script after the Steward enables. We will update the documentation. Anyway, Universal Omega, has now ✅ it following the MediaWiki maintenance script being run. As well, you should know that it disabled your WikiBase Client extension, as it was incompatible.

Dormancy Exemption Policy
Hi, I wrote back in mid March to see if I could get an exemption to dormancy checkmark on my page, someone responded but I never heard anything further. Is this something I can get please?

Can you please globally lock my account?
I’m starting to lose some interest in these Qualitipedia wikis and feel like I did a bit of a poor job on some of them (e.g. creating lots of articles in very little time on the Shows & Episodes wikis, some were biased and nitpicky - even though it was because of the episodes being in their show articles' bad/good episode lists anyway. Although I stopped doing that in recent months). I’ll still scroll through some of these wikis at times, albeit never signed in. Connall2021 (talk) 13:31, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Please Delete TurtleWiki
Following this diff in which both TurtleWiki bureaucrats have agreed to delete the wiki on the pretense that it is a private wiki for personal world-building and the founder no longer wishes the content to be available online, I would like to request said expedited deletion of TurtleWiki.

I would like to request for consumer client approval of the development OAuth2 client for the Verification Endpoint API Discord bot and details about how we implement it are within this wiki page on Recap Time squad Wiki.

Due to how we deploy stuff in Autocode (we use separate OAuth client ID-secret combo for production, among other secrets), I would like to approve the development OAuth client first, and then I'll request for the production one soon when start shipping features to production in the future. I would also like to remove the OAuth1.0a version of it with its client ID  since I decided to use the OAuth2 version of it instead.

The code for my OAuth2 client implementation is available for review on https://gitlab.com/RecapTime/infra/rtapp-verify-backend-autocode/-/tree/main, though its not yet production-ready so I'm currently testing it in development deploys and I'm not sure if  grant type is allowed here since I'm being thrown by some errors saying that   isn't valid during token exchange process.

 * I also want to request OAuth client approval for the production client too (client ID: ), since it also uses the same code, through production release processes apply. Andrei Jiroh (Miraheze Meta user talk or local wiki | contribs across wiki farm | send email) 02:54, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Crappy GachaTubers Wiki
Should this wiki be closed now? The REQC about closing it has been around for a while now. Also, mh:dreadfulrestaurantsandfoodwiki:Dreadful Restaurants and Foods Wiki is closed, however is it possible that the mh:dreadfulrestaurantsandfoodwiki:Hungry Jack's page could be imported to the Chill Place if is okay with it? I would like the page to be kept as it's about more than just the quality of the food and much rather the company overall. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 07:59, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined towards outright deletion of CGTW both by the vote and by its inherent contradiction with the content policy. That said, as an (early) voter on the matter I will defer until I've consulted with Dmehus on taking the action. --Raidarr (talk) 08:42, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * FatBurn0000, there are definitely some pages (at least half) which violate Content Policy, some more seriously and others in a more mild way. In terms of your local RfC, which you only were able to get started due to my disabling the Moderation extension, to allow a community voice besides just the sole bureaucrat and administrator, there is a somewhat weak consensus in favour of either deletion or closure, renaming, and rebranding into a different wiki, focusing on crappy gachatube content/videos, as opposed to chiefly crappy gachatubers/persons, as it is now, looking strictly at the nosecount of four in favour of either deletion or closure, rename, and rebrand and two opposed, including the bureaucrat/sysop, FranciscoLol2009. Ordinarily, I might normally prefer locking the wiki and making it private such cases, to allow for the wiki to be rebranded and rebuilt, but since the original wiki request lacked clarity and specificity, with former wiki creator SA 13 Bro raising concerns, presumably, with respect to Content Policy and former wiki creator Amanda Catherine feeling it was "fine" and approving it (which, as an aside, is a bit ironic since Amanda Catherine was not one of the more liberal wiki creators and SA 13 Bro tended to be, at times, based on my observations). Secondarily, since FranciscoLol2009 has made only two edits and two log actions, one of which was to reinstate the Moderation extension despite not being sufficiently active enough to appropriately moderate edits from non-automoderated users wanting to participate in the discussion, I have no confidence any needed remediation would take place. Moreover, excluding redirects in  namespace, non-Content Policy violation pages, and the local RfC, there were a grand total of less than 10 stub-class (or less) content pages. Thus, there would be no loss in content. Finally, I do feel any renamed and rebranded wiki request, from whoever wants to take it up, whether it be FatBurn0000, FranciscoLol2009, or someone else, should have to go through a more thorough vetting by wiki creators. Accordingly, this has been ✅. Dmehus (talk) 04:03, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

I request to globally lock my account
I request to globally lock my account. This account is no longer active, and I've since moved to User:ZeusDeeGoose. This is to protect it against vandalism and other malicious purposes. ZeusDeeGod (talk) 20:41, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Request to Block Posting@取るに足らないwiki
I request to block User:障害は個性@取るに足らないWiki from posting. This user has been vandalizing pages and we are in the process of requesting a posting block from the local administrator, but the response has been delayed.Best regards. 1108-Kiju /talk 01:59, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1108-Kiju ✅ per your articulated rationale. Please do let me know if you see any related or potentially related suspicious behaviour from . Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 04:28, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I did a lot of reverting on the  from my recent edits on that wiki. I actually happened to notice the vandalism yesterday, and swiftly reverted the vandalism when it was in progress at the time. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:06, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Put the Crappy GachaTubers Wiki back up
Greetings, I recently noticed my wiki, Crappy GachaTubers Wiki, got taken down because I was inactive. However, I'd like for the Wiki to be back up, I'll do a few changes to it like:

Removing the Moderation

Updating the Wiki Rules

And more important changes

If the wiki can get back up, I would really appreciate it FranciscoLol2009 (talk) 09:51, 23 April 2022 (UTC)


 * It was actually taken down due to Content policy concerns, and due to the nature of what the wiki's intent was after it was set up. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:08, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Not exactly or exclusively, no. Dmehus (talk) 15:56, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * FranciscoLol2009, please see above. There's nothing precluding you from re-requesting a replacement wiki, on a new subdomain, one with a clearer purpose, scope, and topic(s) for your wiki, preferably one which focuses on crappy gachatube content, episodes, or shows, rather than on the tubers, or people, themselves. With less than five or six non-Content Policy violating and non-redirect pages, it should not take you look at all to recreate it. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:56, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

I would like my account locked please
Because I've become obsessed with this platform and I think its time I actually quit for good. I've shared my time enough here. Ninjacleod89 (talk) 19:45, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Ninjacleod89, ✅, per your request. Please ensure you remember your account password and/or have a current, confirmed e-mail address attached to your account, should you wish to either (a) request an unlock or (b) request to be vanished in some way. Dmehus (talk) 19:49, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

ManageWiki Change Request@空想シリーズ/ふぁんシリーズWiki
Since the bureaucrat rights have been removed from this wiki, it is no longer possible to manage the wiki settings. We also request the reinstatement of the bureaucrat and the removal of the chizunet:special:ManageWiki/permissions/空鉄民(一般)#mw-section-group check, as this wiki is now able to grant itself bureaucrat rights simply by registering an account. Best regards. 1108-Kiju /talk 05:09, 24 April 2022 (UTC)


 * 1108-Kiju, as an interim measure, I have ✅ the autopromotion for that user group, due to their not apparently having been any community consensus for this major permission change. Thanks for cleaning up the inadvertently autopromoted users. This should leave one local administrator, who seems fine, given their volume of local edits. This Japanese user group isn't actually equivalent to, though, as it has no   rights. I will investigate deletion of the custom group and restoration of the   group tomorrow, but you'd still need to have a local discussion establishing requirements for bureaucrats to be elected and when it may be revoked. Dmehus (talk) 06:19, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing this.I will raise a discussion about bureaucrats on the said wiki. 1108-Kiju /talk 06:36, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

I have a question
For some weird reason, I am not able to edit the majority of my preferences on mh:wretchedyoutubevideos:Wretched YouTube Videos Wiki. Does anyone know why? FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 10:24, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Editing your preferences (the editmyoptions userright) is only granted to 'crats on that wiki. You can see this at mh:wretchedyoutubevideos:Special:UserGroupRights IAmChaos (talk) 15:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, well, could you fix this? FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 02:40, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Could I please hold a bureaucrat election for my wikipedia server?
Hello, My friend/co-manager of my contest contacted a member of your team earlier today in request of changing bureaucracy of my song contest. I believe I have followed the right method on how to follow the election process you told us to follow. The wiki page is Majestic Song Contest with the talk page we created for the notice provided in the link below: https://majesticsongcontest.miraheze.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page

Any help or further guidance would be amazing, Thank you in advance. Benjamin Hardie (talk) 21:27, 24 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Benjamin Hardie, who is seeking election as a bureaucrat on that wiki, and where is the local election? If you're just looking to have the election locally advertised, I can definitely add a local sitenotice for you on that wiki. Dmehus (talk) 21:36, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I am looking to become the bureaucrat on the wikipedia, taking over from one of the previous managers (the current bureaucrat).
 * I added the information onto the link I sent you which will serve as the page where individuals will be able to voice their objections towards me being made bureaucrat. I will promote the wikipedia page on our facebook group (for the contest) so individuals are made aware of it.
 * It would be perfect if you could add a local sidenote onto the wiki. Benjamin Hardie (talk) 22:02, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
