Dormancy Policy Exemption of Unreal_Neo Encyclopedia
Hello, I am Rosalina129, the creator of "Unreal_Neo Encyclopedia" (WikiURL: unrealneo.miraheze.org). I have managed this Wiki myself for a long time, but due to my busy study and work recently, I have no time to manage and maintain the normal operation of Wiki. I wanted to apply for Dormancy Policy Exempting, because the Wiki already creates information about many characters (personal information of characters in games or videos, OC personalities, and other attributes, etc.). The Wiki is also managed by a few close friends of mine, but they are also busy with their work and don't have much time to maintain it. Finally, thanks to Miraheze for providing the platform! Sucrose Fans Rosalina129 13:20, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Let me just add a little bit.
 * This Wiki is actually used to store the information of characters and original stories in our community. In fact, it stores not only the information of characters in our community, but also some other valuable articles. (Probably nonsense, but it is used to store character profiles from videos in our communities, original stories created by members of our communities, etc.) Sucrose Fans Rosalina129 13:33, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I would like to ask if any Stewards have seen my request... Sucrose Fans Rosalina129 08:45, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have now seen your request and granted the exemption. -- Void  Whispers 19:49, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Working through the steps on MediaWiki
 * Create templates
 * Template:Forumheader The other wiki has the styling stored in MediaWiki:Common.css which I don't have access to. So placed in the template instead and you can easily change it to fit the style of your wiki.
 * Template:Forumpage At the bottom it reads . Hope that means Forum is working! [[User:PercyUK|PercyUK] (talk) 14:10, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It works! now i need to know how to link the forums on the main page CharlieFiddlesticks (talk) 16:00, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Concern about a declined wiki request
A month ago, I created a wiki request for a wiki known as Creative Wikis Wiki, but it was declined by because "it would create problems later on." When discussing it with him further, they said they declined it because they believed it would have libelous information or contain hateful content, which I questioned as it is a positive wiki. They then further stated that they "wouldn't trust a title like that at first glance anyway," which I asked why, to which they did not reply. They have not responded in a month despite my attempts at continuing the discussion. I would like this wiki request to be reconsidered, as I do not plan on adding any libelous information or hateful content, nor will I keep it if it is already there, and users will be allowed to choose whether or not they can have a page on the wiki. It is intended to be a positive wiki. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 20:55, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I would probably hold off on this request for now as I've seen other Reception Wikis got declined as their status is currently disputed. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 21:23, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There's nothing saying they've been banned though. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:16, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Even then, I'd still hold off on it. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 23:35, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, I should note that wiki creators can and should be skeptical, especially for user reception wikis, an extremely controversial subcategory of reception wikis. --Blad  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 21:46, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm trying anyway. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:57, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It is the near universal consensus of all wiki creators that reception wikis are not to be accepted at this moment due to the heated and disputed nature of them. In the future, they may be accepted again but for now, it seems most wiki creators are weary of them. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:14, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * When will they be allowed again? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 00:52, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No ETA at the moment Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So, I should just wait or move it elsewhere? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 04:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Just wait. A break from QP isn't that bad. CJWorldGame32125 (talk) 11:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Moving elsewhere would likely be in every party's best interest at the moment. --Raidarr (talk) 12:52, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So they are banned from being requested? I knew it... Nidoking (talk) 14:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I must say that I take issue with your comment that "It is the near universal consensus of all wiki creators that reception wikis are not to be accepted at this moment". The reason is that I do not think that is it necessary right for wiki creators to take a hard position on a topic being 'banned' from being created without community consensus. If 'reception wikis' are not disallowed by the Content Policy or by a community vote I do not think wiki creators should be taking it upon themselves to impose a blanket ban on all reception wikis. If these are likely to violate the Content Policy that is acceptable but if there is an innocent reception wiki it should not simply get declined because of the fact that it is in the format of a so-called 'reception wiki'. I will admit I have not seen any actual examples of what is being declined but the statement suggests to me that there is a blanket ban imposed without a community vote or consensus. DeeM28 (talk) 14:43, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * by that quote nido he means that reception wikis will still be allowed. Just not right now. Maybe in the next month. The user who loves human heads on alien/animal bodies in cartoons for no reason (talk to me uwu!) 15:53, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Most of the recently requested reception wikis are things like Qualitipedia revivals, or embark iffy topics such as criticizing the work of a certain person, hence why I said that based off what we saw, it seems to be the consensus of most WCs to decline these sorts of requests. Reception wikis outright are not banned as I've told Nidoking and other users various times, we have accepted some since Qualitipedia was closed however, it seems WCs are being more cautious when approving wikis which appear that they may cause either Content Policy or Code of Conduct issues such as Qualitipedia forks, wikis which criticize topics which may fall into a gray area, and so on. Some users seem to think we've outright banned them when in reality, we are being cautious so as to not approve wikis which attempt to revive the Qualitipedia wikis or which will be Content Policy issues. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:10, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Then in that case, what's wrong with Creative Wikis Wiki? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 20:32, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The third provision of the Content Policy states, "Miraheze does not host wikis with the sole purpose to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people." Even if the proposed wiki would have a positive focus on wikis and users, it's still important to have referencing to support any claims made. Of course, you can edit the wiki request to assure wiki creators that pages will contain references. Tali64³ (talk) 21:30, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * and I was gonna use references anyway. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:04, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What I'm trying to say is that you should edit the request to include a sentence stating that the pages will contain references, and resubmit it. You've made it clear that referencing will be a part of the wiki, but a wiki creator wouldn't know that unless it's stated in the request. Tali64³ (talk) 23:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposal to close Requests for Comment/Wikis with a fork of Wikimedia
While this is probably not necessary to do I am proposing that the RfC in the title of this thread be closed.

I want to massively delete ("nuke") the comments of some trolls
Recently, mh:giantess:Giantess Wiki has been the target of troll attacks. I am deeply grateful that the Miraheze staff has pretty much reversed all that vandalism and globally blocked the trolls, but there is still one problem: the comments (https://giantess.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log/comments). The comments they have left are a spam (external link) to a malicious website (which has malware). I could delete them manually, but that would take some time, and I would like to know if there is a more efficient way to mass delete those comments. Aurumargelium (talk) 05:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * There is no tool we can use to mass delete them unfortunately. While it would have been easy if the wiki had the more modern CommentStreams enabled, the old Comments extension provides no way to mass delete comments and there is no tool either available to local administrators or Stewards to mass delete spam comments which is actually rather silly. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:51, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So, what I have to do is to go to Special:ManageWiki/extensions#mw-section-other and check the "Commentbox" box, right? Aurumargelium (talk) 06:11, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, select CommentStream, Commentbox is equally as outdated. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 04:21, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Possible hacker attack
I will be as brief as possible. From Enciclopedia Dramatica (a well known troll nest) they have been attacking mh:giantess:Giantess Wiki. They started vandalizing articles and files, as well as massively spamming the comments with links to malicious websites (with viruses), but now it seems they want to go beyond simple trolling. Recently a user named "xix" entered to Giantess Wiki's Discord server and from his Discord account (xix#1337) I could see his official GitHub (https://github.com/xixmen) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEoqwpoJIGqLJyqkxSB21TQ and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR6GsqF23pAy5H0YM-xJQxg) accounts. Analyzing his GitHub account, it is apparent that he is a hacking enthusiast (to be more specific, for creating spam bots and multi-accounts). I know I sound paranoid, but Miraheze staff better be forewarned. This "hacker" could find some Miraheze vulnerability and exploit it, and most likely use it for the creation of multi-accounts with different IPs. If any anomaly occurs, I will inform you. Aurumargelium (talk) 01:42, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There is legitimately no way a talentless hack like that guy would even be remotely close to even being able to exploit Miraheze's vulnerabilities for their own personal gain. If that were the case, then they would be kicked off for a Terms of Use violation. I've had to revert the files back to what they were originally for over a week now, and this has also occurred roughly 5 to 6 months ago as of this writing. Not sure if that guy is responsible for this massive attack, but it could be a possibility. Any thoughts on this? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:57, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I really hate that wiki platform, not only it harasses people, they also doxx people's personal information, are racists towards other people's race, raid other people's servers, and lastly have illegal material on the site. CloudFlare needs to boot them off, and not allow them on the web ever again like Kiwi Farms... Nidoking (talk) 18:35, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for informing us. As DarkMatterMan4500 said, it's highly unlikely for a kiddie scripter to find a vulnerability in our systems. With your permission, is it okay for me to implement anti-spam measures on your wiki? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:00, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, please. I want that anti-spam measure. Aurumargelium (talk) 02:15, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have enabled StopForumSpam which should automatically block 99% of proxies. I also revoked the ability to upload from normal users and moved it to the  group (users who are older than 5 days and have at least 10 edits) which should thwart the disgusting vandal image attacks. I also removed a few dangerous rights from the user group such as autoconfirmed, noratelimits, and skipcaptcha, all of which thwart built-in anti-spam measures. I would suggest perhaps also revoking the ability to comment from normal users and moving it to autoconfirmed users which should thwart some more comment spam.

CheckUser for the following sockpuppeteers
Here are some recent sockpuppet accounts whose sockpuppeteers may require an IP lock on the AVID Wiki: Above are Ngozikal socks as evident by their real names (Jordan K Ene) and similar username patterns. She has made numerous sockpuppets recently and was previously IP banned on the wiki in July for one year only to somehow make new accounts. Above are Tanner socks. His full name is clearly shown in these usernames. As for Tanner, he has a history of sockpuppetry on the wiki, dating back to early this year. Lastly, these users are sockpuppets of PBSArchive. If you take a look at his edits, he mostly does page creations like his other socks containing the same formatting and spelling errors (e.g. misspelling "Availability"). He was previously IP banned on the wiki for a year back in July, but like Ngozikal, he somehow made a new account evading the IP lock. Camenati (talk) 20:41, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Can you Globally lock my account?
I have decided to retire from Miraheze. I had this thought on mind for like the past few months (it took me time to decide) and now i surely think i want my account to be locked. While i think i find Miraheze a lot better than QP, i do not find it worth being active since it's closure. I thought it would be fun contributing after QP's closure, but i find nothing much to do now. I thought of this for a couple of months, but now i am sure i want my account to be locked.

Requesting Steward assessment for a local election on Miraheze Developers Wiki
Hello, I am making this request in my capacity as a bureaucrat for Miraheze Developers Wiki.

I request that a Steward please assess consensus for a local election, which has now been open for around 3 weeks, also around 3 weeks with no additional activity or voting on it. Due to my own personal conflict of interest as I voted on it, and the fact that it is tied in a matter of votes, I am unable to close it myself. Also, having discussed this with in their capacity as another local bureaucrat (not in their capacity as a Steward) they recommended it might be best to have it be assesed by Stewards, due to the close nature of the vote.

Votes are not the only thing to consider when closing any election, but rather more-so comments, which the supporting votes (including my own) gave none, so it is not an easy local closure. Especially seen as how only one user actually gave a full explanation, consensus would be somewhat difficult to determine even if I wasn't a conflict of interest.

Thank you. Universal Omega (talk) 02:05, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Important: Decyclopedia and the Content Policy
TL;DR: Decyclopedia contains lots of porn without a warning except for this one template that contains porn. Breaking the content policy

Full text: Decyclopedia decyclopedia.miraheze.org, contains pornography with no warning on the front page. The only warning is on pages with lots of porn, the template. This template contains 2 images, including the infamous gif file (a woman ma$turba+ing in an infinite loop). Pornography is on at least 20 pages, 13 of which have said template.

There is NO warning that this site contains pornography, until you see that file. (there are other files containing p0rn, this is the most notable one) This breaks the Content Policy.

Also, I got banned until October 2023 for removing the pornography. The content policy states “there must be a warning on the front page for NSFW wikis”. There isn’t, until you see NSFW images. 101.185.66.160 08:46, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

"We don't typically take responses from an IP" is not a policy or practice of any kind and the only reason that de-facto happens is because it is rare. --Raidarr (talk) 12:25, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

 * A brief check makes it clear that yes, the pornography page in particular is an offender of this. Since the relevant content policy portions are recent additions, the wiki will likely be given an opportunity to clean up and issue proper warnings. From here only a Steward's input is required and it is best for us to defer until it comes. --Raidarr (talk) 12:23, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Just a reminder that Decyclopedia has 293 articles, only 13 of which have NSFW material. That's only 4.4% of the wiki. The rules don't specify what amount of the wiki needs to be NSFW for the rules to apply, but it shouldn't be such a small percentage. Also, trying to shut the wiki down for having NSFW material? That sounds like cancel culture to me. Tali64³ (talk) 15:21, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, this user was blocked on Wikimedia for cross-wiki abuse. Tali64³ (talk) 17:00, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That's irrelevant here as the target is an entire range and not a specific IP. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:36, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see how it's irrelevant, given that the IP is in that range. Anyway, discounting articles I just deleted for being copied from other wikis and redirects, there are 180 articles on Decyclopedia. 13 of those are marked with the equivalent of the NSFW template, which is about 7.2% of the wiki. Given the relatively small amount of NSFW content and that the content is not Decyclopedia's main focus, I believe that the wiki should not fall under the rules set for NSFW wikis. However, it's moot anyway because of the announcement I made on the wiki. Tali64³ (talk) 18:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

 * I do concur with the above that you preferably should have an account so that your queries aren't taken as something not serious but nevertheless, I will answer your question. Decyclopedia does not seem to be incurring in a Content Policy violation because the section talking about putting warnings and such is directed at wikis whose sole focus is something NSFW (like a NSFW TV show or game). However, it is a general convention that they should no lewd content ever be posted on a main page so Stewards will remove that on any wiki. If a page contains NSFW content, it would be common courtesy to warn users about that but it is not a requirement. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 21:16, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The warning contains NSFW content. Anyway there isn’t a warning for pages that contain 1 NSFW image. Also, I got blocked for a year for removing the pornography so it can comply with Content Policy rules. 101.185.66.160 21:21, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I just reviewed the template and I'd advise the wiki administrator, Tali64³, to remove that image if they mean it as a legitimate warning. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 21:25, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Obviously, the template is meant to parody legitimate NSFW templates. It's not a warning, just an indicator that the page contains lots of NSFW content. Tali64³ (talk) 21:33, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Tali64³ I got blocked for 1 year for removing the pornography. I am not a vandal. And I have never been 101.185.66.160 21:42, 21 October 2022 (UTC) #saveminecraft
 * I changed your block to 1 month, since I realized that 1 year is way too much for simple vandalism. Anyway, if your removal of NSFW content damages the quality of the article, then it is vandalism. Tali64³ (talk) 21:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * “Damages the quality?” I actually was removing pornography because I didn’t want Decyclopedia to break the content policy. But since you added it back in, I created this mega-thread to let everyone know that Decyclopedia breaks he content policy 2001:8003:B1B8:BF00:45AD:64A:3EBD:C4A7 22:04, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

 * I don't think removing 1 simple image that doesn't need to be there necessarily detracts from the article. You could really replace the image with anything. --<span style="font-weight: bold; background:linear-gradient(#ff00ff,#c800c8,purple,#c800c8,#ff00ff);; -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Blad  (talk • contribs • accounts) 22:06, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

CheckUser request for some suspected Anti villain/Gigdsclasp sockpuppets

 * Yetgea
 * Adigueya
 * Popeya
 * BDS (suspected sockpuppet)
 * Yty

(If they are reading this), I am requesting a CU against these 3 users (plus 1 suspected sockpuppet, BDS), because they seem to be editing in a similar fashion to Anti villain indirectly, with some similarities in behavior. Some examples would be Adigueya using similar insults to Oppositor's insults on the Vladimir Putin page, plus the similar insults from prior socks like Ramzan Kadyrov. All 4 of them use the Visual Editor tool just like the previous socks of Anti villain/Gigdsclasp. I think this check is warranted to check for and flush the sleepers out.

Request to enable Cargo extension on UcroniasWiki
Hello everyone.Currently I have a personal wiki in which I have just created about 80 pages of content and more than 500 total pages but that could increase to over 1000 in several months.

To make my job a little easier, I am wanting to create schematic pages in a namespace called "Data:" and the important information will appear in Special:Drilldown. I request it here as stated in Phabricator

There is already an example for this:  In an old wiki, I used Cargo for the same purpose. On that occasion almost 20 000 schematic pages were created -But it could reach 40 000-. Please take the time to analyze what I am asking for. Thank you. Hispano76 (talk) 02:33, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
