New interwiki stuff required for my wiki
Hello could you add  as an interwiki prefix to link to nsindex.net? It is required for my wiki Crazybloxian Empire.

Well it’s still not working! •• User:Fair0002 • China Sucks! Xi Jinping Is Filthy 12:23, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Error is HTTP 403 Ucronistaw (talk) 12:53, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey guys, It’s Minoa from NationStates, who was alerted to the problem on the Crazybloxian Empire’s wiki. I have edited the .htaccess file to ensure that NSindex does not throw a false positive against Miraheze, so you are all-clear to re-add  again. Best, --Minoa (17 October 2018, 13:17 BST)
 * Just in case, does it work? Try readding it. please, readd. •• User:Fair0002 • China Sucks! Xi Jinping Is Filthy 03:45, 19 October 2018 (UTC) nsindex:Crazybloxian Empire
 * Should be done. -- Void  Whispers 04:14, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, so... for the moment of truth. nsindex:Minoa
 * Fair0002, It's Minoa again: it is a local interwiki that works on your wiki only: However, the correct URL syntax should be https://nsindex.net/wiki/ $1, not https://nsindex.net/wiki/ $. -- Minoa 20 Oct 2018

Remove inactive bureaucrat from AustraliaSim wiki
The current bureaucrat of AustraliaSim.miraheze.org is inactive. I want to work on the wiki and need admin permissions to achieve what I want to achieve. I cannot get these permissions as the bureaucrat is inactive and no longer apart of the community.

If he is removed, I request that I be appointed as replacement. (BHjr132)

Wiki set to private, vandalized by anonymous
Even if I set Nonciclopedia as private since the very beginning, today an anonymous user vandalized the home page. How is this even possible? Wedhro (talk) 20:21, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The home page is always visible to all users, I'd suggest protecting it. -- Void  Whispers 21:54, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * But private shouldn't mean nobody can edit anything? Maybe I misunderstood, I'm just asking for clarification. Wedhro (talk) 22:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The current way we make wikis private is simply by removing the ability to read from all users, and only allowing certain groups to be able to read. It does not affect editing, except that you cannot edit a page you cannot read. If you want, you can restrict editing as well using Special:ManageWikiPermissions. -- Void  Whispers 22:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, now it's clearer.Wedhro (talk) 07:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Sysop/Bureaucrat request
Please grant me sysop and bureaucrat rights in newusopedia wiki, because an active bureaucrat (user page in meta) announced suspension of activity.--かにふとん (Kanifuton) (talk) 15:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * {{{Ping|Void}} . Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:10, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It appears that there are two other active administrators on that wiki. What is the basis for this request? -- Void  Whispers 16:21, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

are you aware of these problems that happened on miraheze?
Link: https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze


 * Just to clarify; above that user was a actual vandal who blocked on rottenwebsites wiki, he also came across here to vandalism moves other user space, I have reverted the malice move of user talk page and tagged for deletion. As for user page, there was an fatal exception internal error on it and I am unable to revert the malice move, request an stewards or system admins for the help. SA 13 Br</b>o</b> (talk) 04:08, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Uh yeah can someone fix this asap. The above (and any similar accounts) is some vandal that keeps following me around. MZD (talk) 11:29, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I have now cleaned up the meta vandalism, and global locked a couple of accounts, but a CheckUser is probobly a good idea. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 14:04, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

my wiki, indytechfix.miraheze.org, seems to have disappeared completely.
There's no longer even any record of it in my contribution log. I'm in a bit of a panic. Thanks for looking into it! Indytechfix (talk) 14:32, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I am sorry to see that your Wiki has disappeared. I will take a look into it. The URL is giving an error 404. Maybe a steward could have accidentally deleted it for some reason? Pkbwcgs (talk) 14:58, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no log for the deletion of a Wiki. Maybe, it was deleted because it was closed and nobody requested your Wiki to be adopted. A steward could help out here but it was probably deleted due to your inactivity. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:06, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

I recall last editing it maybe a month ago. Kind of hard to prove with all of my contribution logs disappeared too. Is there any way a wiki deletion can be undone? Indytechfix (talk) 15:11, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * This is odd for two reasons. The first being that it was deleted on October 6th, in accordance with the Dormancy Policy, after having verified that there had been no edits in over 180 days. The second being that this is the third or fourth time that someone has reported this kind of error with a wiki deleted on the 6th. I am sorry, but unless you can supply us with a backup of the wiki yourself, our backups only extend to October 7th. -- Void  Whispers 15:35, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the only "backups" I have are a couple pages that I had printed out in hard copy. No digital backups of the wiki in any way.  I guess I'll just have to absorb this loss and do my own hosting going forward. Thanks for doing what you can. Indytechfix (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Cross-wiki spammer
45.76.178.197 has been cross-wiki spamming and may need a global block. See this IP's abuse log. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:41, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * ElmerMoberg494 has tripped the anti-spam filter twice and will also require a global lock. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:43, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * HiltonCard85178 has also tripped the anti-spam filter today and will need a global lock. It sounds like the usernames ending with numbers are spamming most of the time. Pkbwcgs (talk) 07:45, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Fae136056620 has also tripped the anti-spam filter today and will need a global lock. Pkbwcgs (talk) 10:17, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

What’s up with my wiki
I’ve been inactive for a long time. How come my wiki needs login to read? Can you ensure people can still read even when logged out? It’s meant to be a public wiki. And where did the “create account” button go? WHAT’s going on? •• User:Fair0002 • China Sucks! Xi Jinping Is Filthy 02:41, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * We are aware of this and are trying to fix the issue. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 02:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * What’s the issue? •• User:Fair0002 • China Sucks! Xi Jinping Is Filthy 02:40, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * From what I've seen, basically all the checkboxes in Special:ManageWikiPermissions/* became unticked. That's why MacFan4000 had to re-tick those checkboxes. Paladox created a maintenance script that repaired the damage. Something might've been lost, misplaced, or renamed. --Idris (talk) 03:10, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
