Real Life Villains Wiki Potential Content Policy Violations?
At least 95% of the pages on there, do not have a source for reference.

 * Alright, I'll give that a try. OrangeStar (talk) 19:33, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Listen, what the wikis say will be heard of, and people will use that as their source much more than anything else.
 * If you're gonna go out of your way to get a wiki meant to educate people about real life villains and why people should not be them, then that means you are enabling bad people. RoboticBloxxer (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The concern raised here is that the wiki is mostly unsourced. Given that it has many articles dealing with people, this could be a potential violation of CP 3 (and anyway, ignoring whatever the policy may say, it's best to include sources for the claims in any article whenever it's dealing with real life stuff, be it living people or other things). It's not our intention to enable bad people. OrangeStar (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * To be honest it looks like you missed a few words and that muddles the point you were making but I assume you are implying that people trying to hold the wiki accountable are enabling bad people.
 * The problem with 'what the wikis say will be heard of' is that 'heard of' is literally hearsay. I can make up whatever crap I want and put it on the wiki. As long as it's obscure or I can whip out minority arguments/political buzzwords to support it, it's good and with the right timing it probably won't be challenged. If there wasn't a wide internet with thorough and better backed up information that demonstrates why people are 'bad' (between more objective sources as Wikipedia with a deliberate neutral tone, and blogs/journalism going into the nasty details), perhaps your implication of social benefit would hold more value. But it doesn't. The wiki brings little overall benefit and even less so if it's too lazy to back itself up and it's a sludge of what people think or remember. Your post enables and excuses lazy writing that can just as well enable harassment. That is the concern involved here.
 * If 'look just google it' is what you are implying as the reason to sustain the wiki then you've failed to even demonstrate why the wiki should exist. If arbitrary 'oh I heard about it' is good enough to sustain the wiki content then it might as well be closed now. I'd rethink this approach.
 * I'm probably going to be gone by the time you reply, so this is my final 2c on the matter. I don't even think the wiki is quite that much of a problem to warrant closure or direct intervention but your "defense" here does a disservice. --Raidarr (talk) 13:09, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Bureaucrats permission issue
Hello, when i started to tweak and edit my wiki, i removed the bureaucrats cuz i thought it was a decoration/example group rather than actually being a group that gave me almost every permission on my wiki which i deleted in my wiki and i can't modify proprely anymore.

Is it possible to revert this action or to restore to default settings in my wiki please?

VisualEditor Problems
Can I ask Stewards to help me adjust the VisualEditor's options?

In my Wiki VisualEditor extension, no matter how I set the Settings, there is always only an Edit Source button in the upper function bar. The Edit button that normally enters VisualEdit Mode does not appear. This is a terrible problem. Because of this problem, it is very inconvenient to edit (currently only appended after the address bar  to enter visual editor mode normally. This is a tricky process.)

Maybe there's something wrong with the extension Settings? I tried to re-add the extension and adjust the Settings in the parameter Settings, but the "visual Editor Mode" Edit Button did not appear properly.

If can, can Stewards help adjust it to display the Edit and Edit Source buttons properly?

Thank you very much! Sucrose Fans Rosalina129 14:16, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Issue with the AMYTW staff
On mh:amazingyoutubers:Amazing YouTubers Wiki, the staff are, in my opinion, rather lacking in competence and are not very reasonable.

After two failed attempts, he, for whatever reason, decided to abandon his plan to shut down the wiki and started legitimately contributing to it - however, I can't say the moderating has been particularly legitimate. Not long after returning to contributing, he edited the SMG4 page and removed "War of the Fat Italians 2021" from the list of good episodes and moved it to the list of bad episodes without any good explanation - he just said "fuck WOTFI 2021". When a user reverted this, he reverted them and gave no further reasoning to his actions. In addition to this, he also created a page on the SML video "Jeffy's 18th Birthday," which I put up for deletion because I felt it would fit better on Terrible SML Videos Wiki. However, Duchess reverted my edit with no explanation. I then created a topic on his talk page, questioning these two edits along with his apparent rule about the necessity of plainlinks, but he ignored me for a while, before eventually deleting the topic because it was "making him uncomfortable," which, to me, is just pure ignorance.

Meanwhile, thePCGamer, an administrator, is another staff member who has shown a lack of competence. Before DuchesstheSponge even closed the thread mentioned above, they marked the thread as resolved before Duchess could even answer, even though it was not their concern what was going on. Although I cannot prove exactly what they said due to Duchess deleting the topic, I believe their reasoning for closing the thread was that I was "annoying everyone," even though I was asking Duchess questions I believe are important. When I added a second topic about Duchess' behaviour due to his previous complete ignorance, thePCGamer again closed it, questioning why I had to keep asking questions when Duchess doesn't want to reply, and my reasoning why I have to do that is because there is no good reason he doesn't want to reply - it is realistically laziness. After a while, they blocked me because I am asking questions that "nobody seems to care about". When another user questioned this, they claimed that I stalked someone with no evidence, and also used many of the same lazy excuses they and Duchess constantly use. Raidarr and other users thankfully defended me, though thePCGamer has not yet ended their tactics, as they have again closed a thread unrelated to them since.

Pacsonic9000, the owner of AMYTW, although not as bad as Duchess and thePCGamer, still has their issues. They added me to the admin blacklist because I was "annoying" and thought that links and images don't qualify as evidence (which I have reasons for, also I never said links don't qualify as evidence), and also later said I had stalked Duchess (which again, there is no evidence of) and "made him uncomfortable" (which is quite pathetic) and also criticised me for adding Duchess' rant to the New Reception Wiki, which proves that they cannot handle people criticising Duchess, and also called me out on trying to revive Qualitipedia even though the RFC did not directly prevent people from doing that, nor did it necessarily attempt to do so. They also deleted a topic on their talk page questioning their actions, and marked a thread as resolved because I was "annoying," even though the thread was months ago anyway.

I am reporting this here because I have not been able to make any negotiations with the staff, and therefore I now see the only option is reporting it here. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 00:01, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I should also note I opened a discussion regarding their rights (this), but that has generated little discussion, despite a topic notice being posted on PCGamer and Duchess' talk page. --<span style="font-weight: bold; background:linear-gradient(#ff00ff,#c800c8,purple,#c800c8,#ff00ff);; -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent; font-family:monospace">Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 20:17, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Please shut down Mixed Receptions TV Shows Wiki.
This wiki needs to be shut down, as it is a horrible mess full of vandalism and biased pages. Plus, I fear that people will move pages from the Terrible and Best TV Shows wikis to this wiki. ShawnTehLogoBoi (talk) 00:30, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * A couple of things:
 * Being a mess does not mean it should be closed. It can be cleaned up.
 * If people move pages from those wikis, then you can put them up for deletion.
 * Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 02:23, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * But Money12123, the wiki's current state is far from salvageable. There is so much vandalism and biased pages, and the current owner of this wiki, PATRICKSTARSEVEN is inactive. It's best if we get rid of this dumpster fire. ShawnTehLogoBoi (talk) 03:13, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you provide some examples of vandalism which went unfixed for a long period of time? Bias is subjective and can't be actioned by Stewards. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 06:00, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * One example of vandalism that went unfixed for a long period of time is Noggin, a page that consists of nothing but vandalism. Another example is Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, a page that has nothing to do with the scope of Mixed Reception TV Shows Wiki. ShawnTehLogoBoi (talk) 13:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * How could it be "far from salvageable"? Just go through every page and fix them or put them up for deletion. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 03:55, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Vandalism alone isn't enough to close a wiki, in my opinion. As anyone can edit wikis, anyone can revert vandalism in those wikis. imo, there's only a few select instances when vandalism would warrant closing a wiki, for example when it's a persistent vandal, when just reverting edits is a waste of time, and the admins are inactive and thus unable to block vandals, but even then you could probably get a Global Sysop to block them and could get a local election going if there are still active editors in order to replace the inactive admins. OrangeStar (talk) 14:45, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Indeed, vandalism by itself isn't a reason to close a wiki. The Content Policy however states that "Wiki administrators are also expected to know this policy and are responsible for ensuring that their wikis do not fall outside the bounds of these rules." so if administrators are inactive or unwilling to stop vandalism and the wiki becomes toxic (§5) or effectively has no leadership or no rules (§4) then it would have to be closed as a Content Policy violation. That being said, when reporting a wiki links to pages must be provided as Stewards can't be expected to go through every page hoping to find what is being reported. Also general statements like "there's vandalism" or "it's biased" aren't very helpful. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 21:05, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Creation of global page deletion requests page for Global Administrators
Hello Miraheze community, Today I want to give you a very good system proposal. As we know, users with Global Sysop authorization have the authority to modify/protect/move/clear the cache of any page. Unfortunately, when the administrators of the current wiki are not active on their own wiki, unfortunately the page cannot be deleted, copyrights, bad sentences (insult, threat, blackmail, etc.) can be on wikis other than Miraheze. When the page is not deleted, thousands of lawsuits are the subject. Inspired by the https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops/Requests page on Wikimedia, I want Global Sysop requests from here as well, as my own personal decision, of course, your decisions are very valuable to me. I'm waiting for your comments and the result is inconclusive etc. good luck to Miraheze.  Hey Türkiye  message? 18:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Offer: Based on the text above, a  page will be created and users with Global Sysop authorization will have the right to delete pages other than Miraheze.

Ratings and Comments

 * 1) As the bidder, I find the offer appropriate and I vote for Global Sysops to undertake this task.  Hey Türkiye  message?  18:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) The Stewards' noticeboard (the one this thread is on) serves essentially the same purpose as the page you're proposing; it's also used for matters requiring Global Sysop intervention. Tali64³ (talk) 19:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll sign under it, you're right.  Hey Türkiye  message? 20:01, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

RfP Page
How do I make a request permissions page on my wiki. Kind of like Meta:Requests_for_permissions Elijah Wilder (talk) 14:48, 13 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Just create a page titled "Project:Requests for permissions" or something similar. You can use InputBox to have the page preload text during creation. Tali64³ (talk) 17:07, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
