Possible impersonation of User:Kittycataclysm[edit | edit source]

Per the Username Policy, this account should be locked. The accounts are confirmed to not be the same operator and this isn't a common name that a user would just choose. Additionally, they appear to have been flaunting their fake identity when opening a request for stewardship and a request for global sysop.

 Merged, additional accounts locked, attempt made to curb this venue of alt creation, likely to persist until stewards have salted the responsible connections. Please append new examples to the list above and remove the done bit so we don't have too many sections on the same affair, though a new impersonation should be expected and kept an eye out for. I'll easiest respond to a direct discord ping to curb new attempts asap. --raidarr (💬) 16:11, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for letting us know. Spam accounts that aren't actually making edits are likely harmless and don't need to be reported. Please report only if they manage to bypass the abuse filter and make edits that become public. However, if the creation is too continuous, please report it to us for IP blocking.

Permissions[edit | edit source]

Administrator/Bureaucrat access[edit | edit source]

Instructions/Read before making a request 

Use this section to request Stewards grant you administrator or bureaucrat rights on a wiki without any active bureaucrats (or unwilling bureaucrats if they refuse to certify a successful vote) following a local election. We normally don't grant permissions without a local election for advanced rights like this so you'll need to make a local election unless you accidentally demoted yourself.

If you accidentally removed your own permissions, you can also use this section to request re-addition.

To make a request, press "edit" next to the "Administrator/Bureaucrat access" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed:

=== Username@<subdomain>wiki ===
{{Permission request
 |status    = <!-- Do not remove this! -->
 |wiki      = <!-- Replace with subdomain of wiki -->
 |user name = <!-- Replace with username -->
 |discussion= <!-- Replace with link to discussion, if any -->
}}
Include any comments here ~~~~

Darkrai18@nintendowiki[edit | edit source]

The bureaucrat and wiki founder has been inactive since May 2023. As for me, I've been a regular contributor for many weeks. I've also created several templates and several pages. I've also started a local election on the discussion page of the homepage detailing my background on the wiki and my intentions. So I'm asking for bureaucrat rights and if that's not possible, at least administrator rights. Thank you in advance. Darkrai18 (talk) 12:22, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Darkrai18. In accordance with the Local policy, recommend that you first contact the bureaucrat Bawitdaba. They are currently active in Mariopedia, so I think you'll get a reply. --1108-Kiju/Talk 03:57, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

topheroes[edit | edit source]

Hello I'm the community lead for a mobile game called top heroes, and I'm looking for a place to start my game wiki. This is where I came across Miraheze. However upon looking into this further, I noticed that the name Topheroes not available for use. In fact it is an inactive, and deleted wiki. The founder has no contribution history and left it to die. Since then I have already gotten an approval to undelete the wiki. This request to gain administrator and also bureaucrat over that wiki so i can have full autonomy and control in maintaining the wiki for myself, and remove all existing users from before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TopHeroes (talkcontribs) 17:05, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Funfacterdroid@neworderwiki[edit | edit source]

I imported around 17 pages after trying to move from Wikitide, the domain ended up being already used but deleted (and in Polish, which I cannot read). So I had to make the request to undelete it, which just went through. There were no other editors on the original Wikitide wiki and there doesn't appear to be any other pages that I didn't import. I don't even know the username of the original founder.
This is now  Done, thanks --NotAracham (talkcontribsglobal) 02:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

BettaCallSoul@loonathewikiwiki[edit | edit source]

I (stupidly) used a disposable email service to create the account I created my wiki with (User:Chuuniversal Studios) and am now locked outside of it after I couldn't recover the password. After wrestling for some time over how to get back in, I decided to just create another account (this one, linked to an actual retrievable email) and continue my wiki journey from here. However, when I created a few pages and made a few edits, I got messages afterwards saying they're 'pending' and were sent to moderators, i.e. my old account I can't access. So I'm humbly asking to have admin, bureaucrat, and interface admin status, basically all the permissions gained by default when a wiki is created.

My old username is the same as my Reddit username in case there's doubts or questions about identity. :)

Thank you very much, have a good day, and stan LOONA! BettaCallSoul (talk) 17:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Speckswiththejunior@kugelnio2wiki[edit | edit source]

So, there's a wiki that isn't considered inactive because it keeps getting vandalized, and the only admin has left Miraheze and left the community this wiki is supposed to be about. I want to moderate it to remove the vandalism and try to bring it back, add more stuff. The only other people who could be in a election are the vandalizers that could ruin it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Speckswiththejunior (talkcontribs) 13:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Speckswiththejunior: If an election is attempted in good faith and is vandalized, Stewards may be brought in to eliminate the vandals and let the election proceed normally. Otherwise it would be best to try and deal with the troublemakers if they appear. --raidarr (💬) 00:05, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Side note, comments like "Get the fuck out of the wiki, you immature kid." even to vandals is highly frowned upon, having given the wiki a cursory glance. --raidarr (💬) 00:06, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Person16384@bfdiwiki[edit | edit source]

Hello. I found out there was a wiki for Battle For Dream Island a few months earlier. However, the only administrator on the wiki has been inactive since November 2023, and the wiki is currently severely disorganized with almost no templates present. If BFDI was not a popular fandom, the wiki would have most likely been closed, again due to the lack of organization. I was wondering if it was possible for you to give me administrator and bureaucrat for the BFDI wiki on Miraheze, as I would like it to flourish much more than it currently is. Person16384 (talk) 15:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Person16384: In order to take command on the wiki, a local election must be filed per the linked page. After 5-7 days the conclusion can be brought here and this request can proceed on the Steward end; otherwise Stewards generally do not just give rights on request even with rationale such as this unless the process is done. --raidarr (💬) 00:01, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Raidarr: Okay, I have started a local election on the wiki here. Let me know if I also need to do something else in order to make the election valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Person16384 (talkcontribs) 02:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Person16384: great! in 5-7 days feel free to stop by and Stewards can take a look & finalize. The 'onhold' mark can be taken off then as well. --raidarr (💬) 11:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Raidarr: Okay, so I have waited for around 6 days, and here are the results for the election. Person16384 (talk) 12:36, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nexovia@olympicswiki[edit | edit source]

Hello It's me Nexovia I am working on the Olympics Wiki but it's founder and the whole community is inactive so I have the Sysop rights but I couldn't perform all actions needed so could you provide me the crat rights and I have tried conducting local elections but the community is also inactive so could I get the rights.Nexovia (talk) 09:43, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Nexovia: the election should proceed for 5-7 days and I would recommend you do the following to spruce it up:
  • Add a signature to your request so it is clear who you are if someone such as the founder takes a peek
  • Give your request a title so it has a clear section, and a discussion subsection for anyone if they do appear to leave feedback
After that period please come back and let us know: you can remove the 'onhold' piece of the status then. --raidarr (💬) 11:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Do I have to make another request or this one will be ok. @Raidarr Nexovia (talk) 12:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Nexovia: the request as it is now will suffice, Globe has made the adjustments. --raidarr (💬) 12:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

São tome@polandballfr[edit | edit source]

Hello! I want to be a bureaucrat for this wiki so I can expand it and make it at the level of other Polandball wikis in other languages. You see, I see a great opportunity in this wiki, since it could make several French-speaking users learn about the Polandball community and in turn contribute to the wiki. One of my biggest contributions was creating an Infobox for most of the articles on the wiki.

The wiki for now does not have many active users, it only has 2 Spanish-speaking users that I invited to contribute by creating articles, so I need a requirement to be a bureaucrat, but I think this is optional when wanting to be a bureaucrat of a wiki with few taxpayers. That would be all from me, I hope you can read this and accept me as a bureaucrat of this wiki São tome (talk) 22:28, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Confirmed. This is a delicate case. It is one step away from meeting the active user count requirement, so it may be acceptable depending on the status of the election. Please reopen the election and give the community an opportunity to voice their opinions for at least two weeks. Sorry, We cannot accept it at this time.

Removal[edit | edit source]

Instructions/Read before making a request 

Use this section to request Stewards remove rights from a user (such as bureaucrat) following a local revocation or resignation, or to request they remove user rights only they may modify for any reason as defined by group revocation policy. You can also use this section to request bureaucrats remove your own rights on a wiki or on all wikis (including global rights).

To make a request, press "edit" next to the "Removal" section header, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this section. Replace every section as needed (change <subdomain>wiki to global if requesting a Steward remove your rights on all wikis or global rights):

MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 15:57, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@MacFan4000: a user's 2c on this. While it's unfortunate to hold the hat and have no local capacity (I'd personally err towards shedding if I'm just absent), some consideration should be given to the fact agent is at least accessible imo. His activity is hardly unusual in a list with 6 bureaucrats, of whom only you and reception have made any edits that can possibly be considered recent. On the other hand dmehus in particular has been rarely sighted around the platform in a long time, and further has no particular global function which commons access makes convenient to perform (commons being an official miraheze project which imo should invite a different train of thought than the 'usual' wiki). A similar argument could be made for Hispano though he might still be conveniently reachable given his recent edits on some wikis. I'm not saying there's no basis for this, but how to resolve the wider problem should be discussed. Perhaps there should be a cleanup of how commons is locally run to encourage proactive local admins & bureaucrats, formally endorse stewards to act as admins/bureaucrats given it is a miraheze project, and otherwise see if there are options to clean up commons as a support wiki for the platform. --raidarr (💬) 17:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Pinging @Agent Isai as they had plans to revisit an overhaul of commons post-merger... --NotAracham (talkcontribsglobal) 16:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Raidarr, I plan on resuming more regular activity on Miraheze Commons, which, incidentally, were part of my original plans when I joined Miraheze, but got sidelined due to other global responsibilities at the time. That being said, Miraheze Commons is one of those wikis where I think it's useful to have both active local bureaucrats and administrators, but also at the same time allowing Stewards and Global Sysops to act on the wiki without the usual "waiting period" for local interference, so I like your latter suggestion. ;)

That isn't a valid demotion reason. Bad understandings can happen, we aren't trying to be difficult for you, it's just that most of us don't speak Chinese so we can't always understand your wiki requests. There aren't many human translators available that speak Chinese fluently and also fluently speak a language like English or Spanish that wiki reviewers can understand. I've responded to your message on BrandonWM's talk page about this to explain why there was a misunderstanding, but escalating conflict to this level is considered inappropriate behavior on Miraheze, and if we reach a severe situation (which I hope we don't), you may be blocked from participating in some parts of Miraheze due to violations of the Miraheze rules. Please try to resolve disputes as politely as possible without escalating issues unnecessarily. コレイ (talk) (contributions) 03:19, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

FjattarRefreshment@mockupediawiki[edit | edit source]

FjattarRefreshment is an admin on Mockupedia, but he vandalized my userpage for no reason (if my userpage looks not vandalized, thats mean I had revert that, see the page logs please for evidences). I had to revert that but he reverted it again, causing reverting war between I and FjattarRefreshment. The userpage should be written by user itself tho. I'm also an admin on Mockupedia and i tired to revert it back again. So the wiki need to remove FjattarRefreshment from administrator, but the only bureaucrat, Vladislav Fesko is inactive enough to do that. Also he even delete my bureaucrat local election on Mockupedia talk:Community Portal.

(Non-steward comment) As an additional note of conduct, The portal (mockupedia:Mockupedia_talk:Community_portal, case sensitive) was also deleted entirely back in Nov 23, and renamed to 'Poor protesters' objects'. I am not familiar with Steward polices on local permission revocation and will not pretend to be, I just include this for clarification and ease of finding the typo linked page(although I don't in any way think it would be incorrect to say this is in no way conduct becoming of a local sysop, I leave all judgments of the matter to Stewards). ╚pixDeVl╝ (Talk Contributions CentralAuth) 12:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is a case that has been bounced on the SR for some time and the issues reported during the 'dark age' continue to be taking place. Stewards know where to find me if they'd like further background on this long-running mess. Imo the key here is the local election being subverted which ensures no transfer of power to a more pro/active top management can take place. If Fjattar is not cooperative upon intervention to ensure an election can take place then a sysop removal is probably warranted. Attempts have been made to contact the bureaucrat who just doesn't seem to care, ever. --raidarr (💬) 12:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Btw, the user TLE940mrhz is also an admin and not a sockpuppet of FjattarRefreshment, but he involve of defending FjattarRefreshment, which is also responsible for the local election attacks on mockupedia, so consider to demote him too. (Also please demote them now, there are 41 attacks about my user page and still counting).HoloCraft (talk) 13:44, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
User:HoloCraft: Perhaps decide that using a user page from login.miraheze.org is a better way, and delete it on your local wiki? Then the problem is solved. Your user page will be shown on all the wiki's you visit.
Now I agree that a user page is private space, and others shouldn't interfere with it. But if there is no agreement, then perhaps taking it outside of the wiki is the way to go forward.
Think about that. A steward would delete it from your local wiki, and that would be the final word.
You can request that on this page as well (I think)  Kind regards,   Rodejong   💬 Talk ✉️ Email  📝 Edits   Auth →  15:09, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dormancy Policy Exemption Request (Murder Fabrication Wiki)[edit | edit source]

Hello! I'm the sole admin of the Murder Fabrication Wiki, which I requested. This is a Wiki for a personal project, which is meant to be read by the (current and potential) readers of a story I'm writing and for which I am the only possible contributor. The Wiki is largely complete in regards to what is publicly available. This is a story (and by extension a Wiki) I've been writing for years and am continuing to write, but my public updates are bound to be irregular, which is why updates to the Wiki could at times be few and far between despite very much being up-to-date. I think my Wiki could fit the "Wikis made to be read, where a lot of information is already on wiki and doesn't need to be actively edited" criteria. Thank you for your consideration!

Dormancy Policy Exemption Request (Cholecalciferol)[edit | edit source]

Status:  Not done

I would like to make a Dormancy Policy Exemption Request for the wiki Cholecalciferol.

While I will keep updating the wiki the data that is collected there is valuable for future readers and researchers. I also refer people to the resource as required. The pace of updates has slowed down but may pick up again if other parts of the project get reactivated. Should I loose access to it I would be distressed if all the hard work were to evaporate.

The basis for the request is

  • Wikis made to be read, where a lot of information is already on wiki and doesn't need to be actively edited.

The bulk of the data is collected on the medical research page DOI and on my personal biography page Bio

Thank you KalleMP (talk) 21:12, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Current body of content does not qualify for a dormancy exemption, but I am happy to report that our Dormancy Policy will soon be amended to extend the minimum time between start of inactivity and a wiki being eligible for deletion to a full year. I hope this will meet your needs once implemented . --NotAracham (talkcontribsglobal) 23:18, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The expected changes to extend the time make the situation less onerous but does not resolve the problem of preserving access to knowledge if I should happen to no longer be able to maintain it.
Please indicate where I can examine what is required for a body of content to qualify to see if I am able to comply.

If you're referring to our dormancy policy, this wiki unfortunately does not qualify for such an exemption given the limited body of work currently hosted. However, our Dormancy Policy has recently changed to be substantially more generous, only triggering an inactivity notice after 2 months, closure notice at 4 months, and deletion eligibility only after a full year of no edits. We hope this better-meets your needs given the infrequent need for editing. --NotAracham (talkcontribsglobal) 16:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wiki reports[edit | edit source]

Content Policy + Code of Conduct violations @ drawnfanonfeet[edit | edit source]

Status:  Done

Yes, this is not the first time this wiki gets reported. However, previous reports - one by BrandonWM, and another by Buzzfan120 on Raiddar's talk page, lacked any real substance: they were made with an obvious bias - personal dislike of the subject of the wiki (which doesn't breach Content Policy by itself), and based on assumptions (cartoon stylization and authors' general drawing abilities). I decided to investigate the place by myself (oh well) and I haven't found any proofs of previously reported pages containing underage characters, in fact - none of articles on this wiki contain such.

But two users uploaded a lot of images in March and April, without tying them to any article on the wiki. These images contain some characters which are officially or widely stated to be under 18 - Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Pit. Images can be seen in wiki's Special:NewFiles, users' contributions pages: one, two.

Also, during my investigation, I managed to find numerous breaches of Code of Conduct - one admin makes mocking edits and leaves plain bad comments @ users, including previously mentioned uploaders: one, two, three, four (I haven't delved for more, but I guess that's enough for some sanctions).

P.S.: as you might notice by my comment on Raiddar's page, I actually first checked the wiki back in April, but was hoping Buzzfan120 will make a proper report here and I'll expand on it. He didn't, and then I just forgot about the topic until now. Checking the wiki again showed me that nothing has changed + revealed the CoC case.

"She", actually. I'm actually a girl. But that's not important right now. I have something to say that's more important: I'm sorry I didn't include enough evidence in my report. I incorrectly assumed that all files on the wiki were Content Policy violations.

And that's why you can't be a steward, you put bias at the top, and it doesn't seem like you actually read the report. The users who bulk uploaded images need to be sanctioned and the images deleted, of course, and I suppose wiki administrators have to do this (it seems like they aren't aware of this whole deal). As for the admin acting immature, a steward will know better how to handle this. If neither of those issues will be fixed then the wiki is eligible for shutdown?

Content Policy + Code of Conduct violations @原批维基[edit | edit source]

Miraheze administrators:

I will report @原批维基 from the perspective of name and content.

Perspective of name[edit | edit source]

The "批" in "原批维基" is an insult in Chinese language.

Comment: 「批」in Chinese is a insultive name for a group, in this case, it refers to the players of Genshin Impact. Atom studying itself (talk) 11:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

According to Miraheze's code of conduct , "原批维基" should not be approved.

From this matter, it can be concluded that @原批维基 has violated Miraheze's Code of Conduct violations.

Perspective of content[edit | edit source]

In the https://wiki.yuanpi.eu.org/wiki/高笑坤专题报道 , @原批维基 Publicized the personal information of a citizen of the People's Republic of China named Gao Xiaokun, who did not obtain the consent of Gao Xiaokun.

Comment: As well as other violations, like 黄俊龙,naming him a "idiot of the year" Atom studying itself (talk) 11:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

From this matter, it can be concluded that @原批维基 has violated Miraheze's Content Policy.

Out of scope and forking: Wiki One[edit | edit source]

Wiki One was originally requested with the stated intent to "create an encyclopedia with curiosities about emerging artists, singers, actors and include details that others would not include". It appears to have few, if any, articles that meet this scope. It has several articles that are outside the scope, some of which also appear to be directly copied from Wikipedia.

Content Policy Violations on Polcompball Wiki and Polcompball Anarchy Wiki[edit | edit source]

Status:  Not done

Hello, Miraheze,

I am reporting the Polcompball and Polcompball Anarchy Wiki to let you know that this wiki that is rather large has a huge amount of content policy violations.

For starters, this should be obvious, but there are many users on the website that still condone political extremist ideologies and sometimes even violence against certain groups on this wiki, which violates Rules 5 and 7 of the Content Policy. WARNING: Many of these links contain explicit content.

  • Exhibit A - This rather prevalent page on Polcompball Anarchy supports a wide array of extremist ideologies, such as eugenicism and totalitarianism, and also supports certain controversial individuals, such as Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. Additionally, this page also seems to condone violence, as the title contains a gun and mafia hat.
  • Exhibit B - This page condones many controversial topics, such as violence and anarchism.
  • Exhibit C - Like the last two pages, this page endorses extremist ideologies, some which had caused the deaths of millions, such as communism and anarchism. Additionally, this page endorses an ideology called the "Communization Theory" that Polcompball themselves describe as advocacy for violence to achieve communism.

Additionally, many people have characterized Polcompball to be a toxic community, due to many of these reasons. I highly suggest the Stewards should investigate this wiki and take action neccessary as soon as possible. CincoColinas (talk) 14:06, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think that we're going to remove wikis due to extreme ideologies, but the pages in question, particularly Exhibit B, show a clear acceptance of violence or some form of removal of humans from Earth. I would second this report and advise Stewards undertake investigation. BrandonWM (talkcontributionsglobalrights) 01:09, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Regarding the "anarchy clause" that simply refers to wikis that don't have a set of policies (whether written or unwritten) or that don't care about enforcing our own Content Policy within Miraheze, it doesn't refer to wikis discussing or even condoning anarchy in general. In the meantime, the Exhibit B page has been deleted. Regarding the others examples, I would agree with what BrandonWM has said in that discussing extreme ideologies isn't something that is banned per se. I would say that unless there's specific examples of encouraging violence and/or other illegal behavior or instances of hate speech towards certain groups there's no cause to remove a page simply for discussing what certain political ideologies are about in general terms. It's not possible for Stewards to fully read the entire pages cited so if you have any specific concerns along the lines of what I said, please do quote them as the pages are very long. Reception123 (talk) (C) 20:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Okay, I suppose. Just keep the wiki in check to make sure it doesn't spill out of control.CincoColinas (talk) 05:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for your report. Does this wiki violate the Content Policy? Agent Isai Talk to me! 04:30, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nothing in Miraheze's Content or Conduct Polices is prohibitive of the use of low profanity, especially in a humorous and non WP:PA way. Weather it is becoming to use such words in a wiki is a separate matter that in general is not something stewards enforce, but since the wiki is a humorous parody, I can't see any issues. ╚pixDeVl╝ (Talk Contributions CentralAuth) 11:05, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
but shit and ass is not mild profanity. Mild profanity is like "hell" and "damn". Shit is very offensive. Plus, it does say it numerous times. On the sidebar, it says "latest shit" and "my ass voice". On the recent changes, one of the filters are "shit on the pages". This is so rude, and therefore, should lead to wiki closure. Acnh Player (talk) 16:35, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is a matter of opinion and upbringing. I for example do not consider damn mild or even really low profanity, but I respect if you and others feel differently(I called it low profanity with high profanity meant to be things like racial slurs). Regardless, this is not a matter covered in Miraheze policy. I fully understand and respect if you are offended by the content, but that is not grounds to delete the wiki. I advise you to simply ignore it. ╚pixDeVl╝ (Talk Contributions CentralAuth) 16:45, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
They might have a crude, dare I say potentially shitty choice of words, however to reinforce pixdevl that is not inherently against any Miraheze policy.

I've said worse. Cursing doesn't warrant action on it's own. If it was directed towards a specific person or group of people (ex. "I fucking hate Blad"), then a case may be made here. Otherwise, this is largely harmless and doesn't warrant Steward action. Also, I'll note that quality regarding a wiki is also irrelevant; I'd bet that more than 50% of wikis on here would be gone by now if that was a policy. --Zeus (tcg) 18:43, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I would also like to say that wikis such as the polandball wikis (when I last checked) use high amounts of profanity in pages.

Around 2 days ago, the Wikicord's founder Ropentiumal Filitrus blocked a user named (LMWIU)Mr.Flame for a dispute happened the day before in the Flame's discord server.

Basically, Ropentiumal raided his server (flooding chats) for personal fun and later Rope banned Flame from Wikicord with the reason "breakdown of relationship" because Ropentiumal was probably afraid of a Flame's revenge (like ruining the wiki pages). Despite that reason, Flame didn't provoke Ropentiumal in any way.

Until yesterday, we discussed the situation in the Wikicord Discord server but nothing has been risolved yet. For all this day, Ropentiumal wasn't online and a user contacted him by the talk page of Rope, he still hasn't responded.

Requesting Dormancy Policy Exception (Führerredux wiki)[edit | edit source]

Status:  Not done

I'm requesting a Dormancy Policy exception for our wiki (unfortunately the CAPTCHA doesnt let me post links). Our wiki is designed as a stable, read-only repository for fans of the mod, providing insights into the lore behind countries, individuals, wars, parties, etc. Also, it's important to note that the only contributors to the wiki are individuals actively involved in the development of the mod. And as our mod is our primary focus, and the wiki, while valuable, is a secondary project, we may not be able to dedicate frequent attention to it, but we do strive to maintain the wiki. Updates might occur within large periods of time, due to the nature of our development schedule.

For all the aforementioned reasons, I do believe that our wiki should be under a dormancy policy exception.

Hello there,

I had edited on about Windows XP under that username seen in that edit. Is it possible to link that username with my email NOW? I would like to link that account with my email address. It was my editing. Please also locate all the edits under that username.

Thank you for your time and understanding and help. -- Cybernarses (talk) 05:17, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

One email can be used for more than one different MediaWiki account; you can just add the email to the account if you still have access to it. If you have lost access to that account, it is pretty much a given that SRE will not manipulate that account unless there are exceptional circumstances that mean you can prove that the account in question is yours (such as a committed identity, etc). Are you asking for the two accounts to be merged so that the edits are reattributed to your new account, or are you just asking for a list of the edits made under that account? If the former, that is also probably going to be a no unless you can prove that account is owned by you. Original Authority (talk) 02:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Requesting Dormancy Policy Exemptions on 2 Wikis[edit | edit source]

Status:  Not done

I am currently the sole bureaucrat and editor of the following 2 wikis.

  • Vale's Ultimate Archive Project (Private) - A personal archive project covering several communities I've been involved with online, and their history. Primarily used by me, though I will allow others that I trust in later on (there is 1 person I currently have in mind). This wiki is currently my priority, though I anticipate it will have periods of inactivity in the future, especially due to the amount of editors.
  • Project Exonaut Wiki (Public) - A wiki about the defunct online game, Project Exonaut. With the game having shut down years ago, and most needed information already being on the wiki after moving from Fandom, my activity will likely be inconsistent. I don't see other editors being interested in it for the forseeable future, and the wiki will also reach a state of relative completion in the future, at which point edits will be minimal.

Because of the reasons listed above I'd like to request indefinite exemptions for both wikis. I can elaborate further if needed, though. Thank you. ValeOfVoid (talk) 10:27, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dormancy Policy Exemption Request (Assault Android Cactus Wiki)[edit | edit source]

Hello, I'm an Assault Android Cactus wiki bureaucrat. I'd like to apply for an exemption from the dormancy policy. The wiki serves as a useful store of information on the game, but has not been updated in a while and is unlikely to be updated very often in future since most of the important information is already there and the game itself is not being updated.

There's a glitch about blogs that needs to be fixed[edit | edit source]

Status:  Cannot be undertaken

Hello, so for the past 3 or 4 years, there's this bug that when creating a blog, there's this error code that says "Error: There is already a blog post with that title. Please choose a different title for your blog post." even though there never was another blog with the same title a new one is made beforehand, and this has been confusing other users into thinking that they DID already make blogs that already got made, often causing them to create duplicate blogs by accident, and this issue has been going on for 3 or 4 years, so I'm wondering if this can be fixed or if it's just flatout beyond repair.

@Globe, RfRW is not the correct venue for wikis that have already been deleted and fully removed from our databases, that is only appropriate when wikis are closed/inactive and a user would like to take over when there is no active crat to resume work.
@AuroraBorealis, as these wikis are fully gone, the next step would be to file a new request for a wiki, you can choose to request the same subdomain or a new one as you see fit.

The miraHow controversy[edit | edit source]

Status:  Not done

A couple of days ago I made a wiki request for miraHow and Redmin declined the request for being too broad. But - half a year ago - I made a request for The Miraheze Cookbook and Tali643, which was a wiki creator at that time, accepted that request. Lots of people including Imamy are interested in The Miraheze Cookbook.

I clearly explained how broad miraHow is and Redmin still declined again.

Let's compare The Miraheze Cookbook vs miraHow:

Type miraHow The Miraheze Cookbook
Recipes
Art and craft projects
Scientific projects
DIY projects
Technical projects
Health projects
Ingredients
Culsines
Nutrition
Equipment

In summary, miraHow would have similar in broadness to The Miraheze Cookbook.

I would like stewards to look at this wiki request and determine if the wiki request is approved. If not, I'll create a RfC about broadness thresholds of wikis.

See Special:RequestWikiQueue/41834. Silicona (talk) 18:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

All I have to do is look at your table to see that the wiki creators made the correct decision in both cases. Your miraHow proposal is obviously too broad. A wiki that combines recipes and ingredients, cuisine, and nutrition is all obviously on the same topic. A wiki that combines recipes, DIY home repair, and scientific research is obviously a free-for-all. This "controversy" makes less sense than Gamergate, even. Labster (talk) 19:16, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Steward adding my two cents here:
  • Tali was self-admittedly rushing through requests to clear the queue and wasn't adhering to review standards 100% of the time, the original cookbook request is not one I would have approved as-is for a few reasons...
  • Both wiki names convey an officiality that shouldn't have been/isn't permissible to approve
  • The guiding principle of request review is that a wiki must have a clearly defined topic and scope to be approvable.
    • the cookbook arguably has that (topic and scope limited to cooking)
    • The MiraHow request does not, as you may have infinite articles on infinite topics, verging on a WMF-like project.
This concept of defined topic and scope has always been a piece of the review process since I started as a WC, the difference is that we now have sufficient WC volunteers (and veterans to provide guidance) to properly apply review standards. While I don't personally see a need for an RfC on this topic, I would *strongly* encourage you to use the drafting process before launching one.
--NotAracham (talkcontribsglobal) 19:18, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not to pile on here, but I agree with NA, Labster, and Redfin on this. The scope of your wiki to too broad. Comparing it to the Miraheze cookbook is meaningless. I'd ask you to, again, stop creating (or threatening to create) pointless RfCs. Globe - (TalkContributionsCA) 20:44, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Silicona: I would like to add a comparison.
When you go to town for shopping for dinner, you go into a grocery store around the corner who provides you the ingredients. It's limited what you can get there. You won't find a chainsaw there.
When you want to create a dollhouse for your little girl, you go to the hardware store. But you won't find a cookbook there.
Now you could go to a Shopping center with a hardware store, a bakery, a supermarket, a book store etc. That's what a WikiHow is compared to our other wiki's with a limited scope like a bakery, a hardware store, a book store, etc.
I do like your idea, but the scope is too broad as mentioned above. As such it was declined.  Kind regards,   Rodejong   💬 Talk ✉️ Email  📝 Edits  👀 Auth →  10:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

VSBW (Vs Battle Wiki) is one of the biggest battleboarder sites- this is made to counter their misinformation. Avinselavinz (talk) 15:25, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Approved for scope change please ensure that you follow all Content Policy rules and best practices on factual contents/neutral point of view when discussing real people.

Requesting Dormancy Policy Exception for Ultimate Knight Windom XP Wiki[edit | edit source]

Status:  Done

I would like to request a dormancy exception for my wiki https://ukwxp.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page. It is setup to be a resource on how to competitively play the now abandonware PC arena fighter Ultimate Knight Windom XP. There are some strategy sections that could be filled out and edited over time but there isn't anything that needs to be actively edited as the game has not been updated since 2009. Most of the info on the wiki was personally tested by myself including character specifics, mechanics and a short-hand guide to setting up netplay. I've taken precautions to make sure the wiki can't be vandalized in-case I go prolonged periods without checking it.

Requestwiki block for Html123456[edit | edit source]

Status:  On hold

Html has kept re-opening their wiki request after having been declined and told to not resubmit no less then 10 times now. This is now a CIR issue as clearly the user has abused the wiki request system. See Special:RequestWikiQueue/40997#mw-section-comments. Globe - (TalkContributionsCA) 10:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion. It makes sense, but I issued a warning to him first. I hope this solves the problem, but if it doesn't I will block his wiki request. --1108-Kiju/Talk 11:13, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Speeding up wiki request review[edit | edit source]

Status:  Cannot be undertaken

Currently, I have two wiki reqeusts (TerraWorld; SuperFeral Wiki). While I understand that Stewards are not like robots to make reviews fast (after all, they're volunteers and might be busy in real life), I would like to see the process being sped up; I remember it took me less than an hour for my prior wiki requests to be reviewed, but nowadays it takes much longer. I would also like to see my further wiki requests by me having overall faster reviews. PiSoda (talk) 19:04, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No. All of the stewards and wiki creators are volunteers. They donate their time, effort, and resources to help Miraheze continue to grow. To insist they work faster, or to request an expedited review causes unnecessary pressure on our volenteers. As for previous requests taking less than an hour, that was a previous wiki creator who has since acknowledged that he was reviewing at an unsustainable rate. Globe - (TalkContributionsCA) 23:05, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
About the wiki requests being approved in an hour, the fast speed of reviews led to sometimes denying genuine requests and approving bad requests, creating unnecessary work for Stewards, this is why we don't expect volunteers to approve them at such a fast speed now. コレイ (talk) (contributions) 03:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Username usurpation of User:Doug[edit | edit source]

Status:  In progress

This will need to be in several parts. In the first part, User:Doug will need to be usurped as Doug. Note that the user is a 7 year old user accounts with zero global edits, as the edits on rosettacodewiki were not that user's edits, but rather were attributed to the user as the user had the same username as a user on the former rosettacodewiki (which was imported to Miraheze)

In the second part, you will need to globally rename me to Doug (without leaving redirects).

As part of the second part, SRE will likely need to run an SQL command to update my username from Dmehus to Doug in the global block table, as I believe a bug exists that that is not updated with the global rename

In the final part, can you create a new user Dmehus, and e-mail the password to my personal e-mail address (message me on IRC if you do not have it), to prevent impersonation?

Finally, I also own User:Doug on WikiTide, so this will make a much smoother transition and integration.

Cheers,

Requesting for wiki scope change[edit | edit source]

Status:  Done

Hi, I was told that I can't change the topic of my wiki so this is my approval submission
I'd like 2 change the topic of my wiki stardom.miraheze.org (Original topic was here bt i'd like 2 change the topic 2 to be an informative site about my books on Wattpad. the topic of my stardom wiki is already about one of my Books so I think it would be a good starting point for this new reflection. Also, i am good w/ keeping up activity on my wikis as can be seen at my oblasia.miraheze & outwit.miraheze wikis ! Ok ty sorry for the brief lettering Kimoraaa (talk)

Username change request hijack[edit | edit source]

Status:  Done

I wanted to change my username from Drocsid0217 to DrC 9990 only to realize that underscores would become spaces. I do not want spaces in my username. I now want my username to be changed to DRS9990 instead of DrC 9990. Plus it sounds like I am saying "don't really care" when I say DrC 9990. Drocsid0217 (talk) 01:34, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Liên minh Dư Công: when I advised this page through Discord, I did so for the purpose of authorizing the scope change. Are you intending to change the wiki from mathenatics to fanonpedia, and have you gotten/are you seeking authorization to do so? When this is cleared up/if approved, the database change can be requested on Phorge. --raidarr (💬) 16:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If I'm understanding this correctly, if you wish to ask for a scope change, you should ask for it here first. Afterwards, I believe you should request a subdomain change. --Zeus (tcg) 18:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is not the correct avenue for database renames. Get confirmation from stewards to change the scope, then open a task on Phorge ╚pixDeVl╝ (Talk Contributions CentralAuth) 17:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Per above, please provide more context on the planned scope and contents of the wiki following the change in topic. We only have a new name at the moment, and more context is needed before we can sign off on the change.
--NotAracham (talkcontribsglobal) 22:42, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
FYI: That request was denied by me.
I suggested: TIP: While working on "mathematics", you can start working on content for another wiki in your User Name space. This way you are not limited to this wiki's topic. You can than - when ready - request a new wiki and show what you have made. If approved, you can copy the pages over to the new wiki.
I still stand by that, but he wants to have two wiki's, not explaining why.  Kind regards,   Rodejong   💬 Talk ✉️ Email  📝 Edits   Auth →  00:02, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

technical difficulties with rename[edit | edit source]

Status:  Done

I am User:LazyLucyFan but I cannot access that account (which was recently renamed) - the global rename got stuck on something called "undictionary" and now I can't get back in.

Re.min.a may possibly be an impersonation of Redmin[edit | edit source]

Status:  Not done

It seems that the username Re.min.a may violate the Username Policy, particularly the following:

  • Usernames that are deliberately similar to other usernames in the possible scope of impersonation (i.e. user a is called "Example", user b is called "Examplee")

Re.min.a may be confused by Redmin, who is a wiki creator.

Let's take a look at the username and determine if there is any confusion:

Re.min.a
Redmin

Can stewards review the username? Silicona (talk) 18:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Per comments elsewhere, this has been reviewed and found permissible. Marking as done, but if you'd like another steward to weigh in, please feel free to reset to 'in progress'. --NotAracham (talkcontribsglobal) 19:27, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't see a problem with it either. The names are somewhat similar, but I believe they fall in the category of unintended similarity. This degree of similarity on its own is not a sign of (attempted) impersonation, especially given the users' tenure and good faith contributions to their projects. -- Void Whispers 22:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Enable Citizen Skin on Meta[edit | edit source]

Status:  In progress

Due to stewards being the de facto bureaucrats on Meta (and that even historically, bureaucrats didn't hold ManageWiki permissions), I wish to have the Citizen skin as an option on Meta. It was used on WikiTide Meta, and is a very good looking skin and I believe that a few other users would like to have such a skin enabled. -- Bongo Cat[cetacean needed] 22:17, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
