Inactivity exemption for Industrial Robotics & Automation (mh142.com)

Hello. I would like to request an exception to the dormancy/inactive policy for Industrial Robotics & Automation (mh142.com). This wiki is set up as a free open alternative for the very expensive textbooks for the classes I teach, to save the students from having to purchase one. The classes sometimes run every other semester and may not need editing when the class is not in session. I do not wish to lose the work I have put into it while I focus my efforts into other courses between the robotics courses. Mike138 (talk) 09:39, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Check user for Inkster's sock account

I came here to request a CheckUser on both of these accounts. Most users believe that this is a sock that Inkster created.

Thank you in advance 「T ҍ C」(yell / earth) left miraheze 22:58, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

FireBarrier101 Can you link to some of the strongest behavioural evidence? Note that you may want to compare the behavioural evidence of those accounts against Cerok, which has been acknowledged as one of the subject user's sockpuppet accounts. Dmehus (talk) 00:09, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
@Dmehus: Sometimes they remove content that they don't find appealing to them. For example User:Demino blanked a page on Unlikely Characters for Super Smash Bros. Wiki ‎which is obviously vandalizing and User:Inkster who removed content on Con27's sandbox because it was "Anti-meme". 「T ҍ C」(yell / earth) left miraheze 11:56, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Please globally lock Zulu-Exa for vandalizing the Dangerous Toys Wiki

This user Zulu-Exa has been caught vandalizing the Dangerous Toys Wiki by uploading disgusting pictures on pages and even vandalized my User page on that wiki as well. Here's some evidence: https://dangeroustoys.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Zulu-Exa DarkMatterMan4500 {talk} 12:02, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 Locked. Thank you for your report. Reception123 (talk) (C) 13:07, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I checked the wrong box. Locked now. Reception123 (talk) (C) 13:39, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Please Lock CircleyDoesExtracterCanREDACTED

This user has a very offensive username that break the rules of Miraheze, especially since REDACTED literally means penis. He is also a possible sockpuppet of MyScrotumIsItchy.—-Μπέλα2006🌎 (talk) 15:37, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

@Μπέλα2006:,  Vandalism only accounts locked by @Reception123: and Void. In future, please report these grossly degrading and insulting usernames via e-mail to cvt(at)miraheze.org. Don't report them on-wiki. We don't need that. Dmehus (talk) 16:14, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Request for Checkuser and Oversight on Callipedia

Hi, I'm an administrator on Callipedia, and there is a vandal posting defamatory information about others. I would like the CheckUser function added so that I can block its IP addresses, as well as the Oversight to remove the names and personal information being posted, thanks.--Callipedia (talk) 23:04, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

@Callipedia: Welcome to Miraheze, and to Meta. Thank you for signing your posts with four tildes (~~~~), too. That's great. Unfortunately, CheckUser and Oversight are not granted locally on any wiki. They are for exclusive use by stewards, as trusted and elected global functionaries. If you wish to request oversight on your wiki, you may do so by sending an e-mail to stewards(at)miraheze.org, linking to both your wiki and the specific revisions requiring suppression (also, never request oversight on-wiki). Otherwise, you can simply revision delete the revisions. In terms of CheckUser, you can also request a steward investigate potential abuse of multiple accounts per user accounts policy via e-mail, or here on stewards' noticeboard, but you must link to both the suspected sockpuppeteer's account and the suspected sockpuppet accounts and provided linked behavioural evidence. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:22, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks.--— Preceding unsigned comment added by Callipedia (talk • contribs) 01:34, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
No problem. Let us know if you need anything further. Dmehus (talk) 02:03, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Request for closing several wikis, and a policy to limit cyberbullying

Hello Stewards,

Since the end of 2019, many users from China (at least using Chinese) have established dozens of wikis on this farm, which are only used for flamebaiting, trollbaiting, dramas, publishing hate speech, expose personal and private information and human-flesh search. I have investigated this and make a request here. I hope you will close these sites as soon as possible.

In addition, I hope to promote the establishment of an advanced content policy to prevent more sites like these from being approved because you have in fact allowed these wikis that are only used for cyberbullying to exist on your farm.

What needs to be stated is that my request is largely due to the reputation and legal risks your farm is facing but not just a blind sense of justice. I believe that you are not willing to let your farm become one "welcomes hateful attack and unauthorized disclosure of personal privacy" in the minds of Chinese users. Therefore, I don't want to wait endlessly,[1] and you'd better not ignore this request and achieve it directly.[2]

The following is a list of wikis that violate the current content policy and terms of use. The "evidence" involved was found through the "random page", so I think these ubiquitous speeches can accurately describe these sites. You can also use Google Translate to view other pages of these sites. If you cannot understand the content, you can ping me for manual translation.

Extended report to stewards; collapsed on default for reasons of readability.

very active wikis, or have quite a few pages, and seriously violate the rules

迷你世界维基

Mini World Wiki (Chinese:迷你世界维基) was a site established by User:莉夏大师 on July 10, 2020. The site claims to be "an encyclopedia of Mini_World." However, its main content is actually opposed to the "Minecraft" game, and therefore violates the "Miraheze does not host wikis with the sole purpose to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people" in Miraheze's content policy (hereinafter referred to as the "content policy"). It also claimed "will completely destroy the international and Chinese versions of Minecraft", "stolen a large number of player accounts and cheat on important servers", and even "to push the founder of Minecraft into prison".[3] These expressions should belong to "incitement to violence" and are therefore prohibited.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. As mentioned above.
  2. Flamebaiting. This site states in the "Newcomers must-read" page that "you must know these points when you enter this site: the site owner is your father and your mother is dead. Fuck your mother." This is obviously hate speech.[4]
  3. Inciting violence. "In fact, Mini World was invented by an 11-year-old child, Wu Zhihai (I will be in the dark for the time being how it was invented), although his parents have a company, because of its strong ability to kill mothers, he sent his parents to death." "mc players, you should not insult Mr. Gu or Mr. Zhang, it should be Comrade Wu Zhihai." These rumours incite violence against minors.[5]
  4. Exposing private information. On another random page, the site exposed personal privacy information of the 15-year-old child "Zhang Yongcheng", such as the real name, mobile phone number, date of birth, address, IP address.[6]

EsuBike

EsuBike was established by User:莉夏大师 on June 25, 2020. It claims to "expose some nasty and mother-to-hell things done by some 'celebrities' and 'mad dogs'".[7]

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Insulte. "The author estimates that if Zou Yihao's mother, who was gang-raped by three strong men, knew that he made pornography, Zou Yihao's dick would be broken instantly and his electronic products would be confiscated." "…but Zou Yihao was hit by a car in her mother's womb and suffered cerebral palsy. His mother died instantly after childbirth, and her hears drifted. Zou Yihao is mentally stimulated + cerebral palsy. He can't even distinguish the watermark of the mobile phone model. The author myself estimate that Zou Yihao became brain-degenerated after being mentally stimulated by a nobler and suffered cerebral palsy."[8]
  2. Exposing private information. This page discloses the Wei Jiafu's real name, mobile phone number, birthday, ID card number (obtained through illegal means) and address.[9] What should be pointed out is that the ID number contains the birthday, so exposing the ID number and birthday together but hiding the birthday part of the ID number does not protect privacy. Any such claims are just excuses.
  3. Spoof picture. This site obtains photos of some people through human-flesh searches and uses them for spoofs. In this link, the editors created Peng Ziming's online mourning hall, and claimed that he was "such a nut that would be well-known in history" "speak farts and semen during thousands of years" "is a filial son because he killed his biological mother".[10]
  4. Piracy. This site contains a large number of articles created by so-called "celebrities" and "mad dogs", which disobeys the copyright agreement of the source websites, and did not obtain the author's authorization (and is impossible to obtain in fact, because this site itself was established to impose cyberbullying on these people).[11][12][13][14]

反恶俗百科维基

Anti-Esu Encyclopedia Wiki (Chinese: 反恶俗百科维基) was established by User:Mzyxsl. As the name suggests, this site is only used to oppose the "Esu Encyclopedia" by exposing the personal information of the editors of the so-called "Esu Encyclopedia", and libeling and insulting them.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Posting personal information of someone and even his family. This site posted a 14-year-old boy, Yuan Enpei's real name, ID card number, birthday, address and his parents and his sister's ID card number and mobile phone number.[15]
  2. Leaking relationships between online accounts and private chat records. This page contains Wu Xiaoyu's real name, ID card number, and other accounts and their relationships posted without his consent. It also claimed that the anonymous account that made the following statement was Wu Xiaoyu himself, which is suspected of defamation or privacy disclosure: "Our Chinese girl is suitable for licking the cock of the foreign man. The boy is suitable for licking the foreign man's smegma and the semen that is slowly flowing out of his wife's hole after being shot by the foreign man. The Chinese boy was led by a foreign man with a collar and his dick was locked tightly by chastity. Only to please the foreign man with his mouth and asshole can he exchange it for his slave wife to look at him with disdain, and then use his feet for foot sex. The male's short cock shot out diluted semen within 30 seconds and was asked to lick it clean as soon as it was shot, and the short cock was not allowed to rest and was immediately locked in a cage under the eyes of the owner." This thing is so disgusting that I don't want to translate it manually. If you don't understand it, don't read it please.[16]

恶俗狗维基

Esu Dog Wiki (Chinese: 恶俗狗维基) was established by User:Ehsbaiu on July 8, 2020. All its pages are copied from this website. It claims "This site is mainly used to back up the entries of Esu Dog Wiki, but we have no affiliation with Esu Dog Wiki (esugou.t91y.com), nor is it the same group of operators." However, this site did not state that the act of copying pages from Esu Dog Wiki was permitted by it. On the contrary, it grandly sublicensed the copyrighted content of Esu Dog Wiki by CC-BY-SA.[17]

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Piracy. As above. All its pages are copied.
  2. Inciting violence. At the top of this page, Esu Dog Wiki claims that: "We are willing to publicize this garbage for free, and readers are welcome to Imitate him to do more evil for fun." The character described by this page is a 15-year-old boy, and it is clear that this site is inciting cyberbullying against minors.[18]
  3. Libelous speech. This site says, "Qian Yichen was detained, sentenced, or thrown into jail by other means for making 'spiritual yearning for life in Japan'. Please pay attention to personal safety when interacting with him." As far as I know, China has never put anyone into prison for this reason. The police I consulted explained that "it's a mistake made by staff engaged in the work of popularizing the law." The expressions used by this site not only slander Qian Yichen but also vilify the image of the Chinese police.[19]
  4. Exposing private information. This page exposed Zhang Qinrui's phone number, address, schools, accounts' relationships posted without consent and even his mother's name and phone number.[20]

黑手网

This is another site copied from esudog.t91y.com, created by User:Yubaozen on May 27, 2020. Therefore, this site violates the content policy and ToU of Miraheze like the above site. However, the main contributors of the site may not be familiar with the MediaWiki codes, resulting in almost all the pages are messy and difficult to read.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Piracy. As above.
  2. Exposing private information. This page referred to Zhang Jintao, Zhang Yuanhan, Zhu Libin and several other people as "Esu dogs" and disclosed their age, address, mobile phone number, and ID number.[21]
  3. Hate speech. "Gao Boshi himself is a game player and likes showing off payment record and abusing. Gao Bozhi has suffered from Alzheimer's or has become a walking dead and cannot interact with you."[22]

三公维基

San Gong Wiki (Chinese: 三公维基) was established by User:Ehsbaiu on June 2, 2020. Similar to "Esubike", this wiki claims to be "expose some nasty and mother-to-hell things done by some 'celebrities' and 'mad dogs'", too. But the characters on this site are different from Esubike.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Insulte. "One night before the 21st century, a client came to a brothel in Xi'an and paid the price for two nights, hoping to have fun with the best prostitute here for two nights, but the prostitute came to the following conclusion with her incomprehensible brain structure and circuits: this client had two dicks. So she madly used the sturdiness of the two dicks to prop up her vaginal, which caused her vaginal to be very slack when the client started fucking. The prostitute smashed the brothel in anger. So, a few months later, in a dim small building in a red-light district in Xi'an, a potbellied, filthy, and homeless best-ever prostitute wailed, and bursts of his vaginal poured out. After a long time, a face with thick lips came out of her stomach, whose appearance told us that this is not an alien, but the famous Chen Yuxin."[23]
  2. Exposing private information. This page exposed a 13-year-old girl's real name (Zhao Tianyi), QQ number, ID card number and birthday.[24]

反反串蛤蟆和匿名蛤蟆

Opposition to Imitative and Anonymous Toads (Chinese: 反反串蛤蟆和匿名蛤蟆) was established by User:Yubaozen on July 3, 2020. The third site copied from esudog.t91y.com, but a little more comprehensive.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Piracy. As above.
  2. Rumours. "He is good at several 'ESU' behaviors, including flattering, privacy exposure, human-flesh searching, and even buying and selling citizens' personal information got through illegal means. He has made great contributions to the depravation of Touhou audiences group." The police claimed that at least "human-flesh searching" and "buying and selling citizens' personal information" didn't ever happen.[25]
  3. Exposing private information. For example, a 14-year-old boy's accounts, birthday, address and his father's workplace.[26]

车万圈维基

Touhou Group Wiki (Chinese: 车万圈维基) was established by User:叶大师 on July 30, 2020. Its homepage shows it's a wiki introducing the touhou games. However, most of the content on this site is still hatefully speech, defamatory description and private information.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Insulte. "Zhao Xusheng (1993.06.17~), a native of Tianjin, is a 100kg fat maggot/tank with a headband … and is the ringleader of the Touhou online groups behind the scenes." What needs to pay attention is that this "Zhao Xusheng" is the person who has been slandered on "Opposition to Imitative and Anonymous Toads" directly above.[27]
  2. Exposing private information. A 16-year-old girl's real name, birthday, ID card number, address and other private information of herself and even her parents.[28]

支纳维基

Zhina Wiki (Chinese: 支纳维基) was established by User:LiaoPoi on April 23, 2020.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Insulte. "Peng Qinxuan is a sow living in Changsha, Hunan."[29]
  2. Exposing private information. Wang Haiding and his wife's real name, birthday, ID card number and adress.[30] Hou Jvsen, his parents' and his brother's real name, accounts, phone number and ID card number.[31]
  3. Spoof picture. Some users grafted Hu Xijin's avatar onto spoof pictures and even a dog was included.[32]

瑞利维基

Ruili Wiki (Chinese: 瑞利维基) was established by User:TYXSA on August 8, 2020. A cyberbulling site.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Hateful speech. "Cao Sheng, a classmate of Cheng Zikang, living in Huangshi, Hubei, is a mule often using memes of Sun Xiaochuan, a citizen of cybercountrys, a mentally retarded patients with dementia. He yearns for life in Japan and German spiritually. He is also one of the principal offenders of the villain gang and plays the character of the spy chief." These are obviously insulting remarks.[33]
  2. Exposing private information. A 16-year-old boy's real name, accounts, private social media group, birthday and ID card number.[34]
  3. Spoof picture. This website set up a "mourning hall" for Peng Dingcong on its homepage. This is a kind of insult, whose purpose is to curse Peng Dingcong's early death.[35]

张平维基

Zhang Ping Wiki (Chinese: 张平维基) was established by User:Zhangping on July 2, 2020. A wiki dedicated to persecuting Zhang Ping.

Mainpage
Evidence
  1. Insulte. This site achieves the purpose of humiliating Zhang Ping by replacing the name of the characters in the R18G novels with Zhang Ping's name. The detailed content is up to your translation apps.[36]
  2. Exposing private information. A 17-year-old boy's real name, accounts, phone number, school, address and ID card number, and his father's.[37]
  3. Spoof picture. Some editors of this site used image processing software to distort Zhang Ping's photos and even replaced his eyes and mouth with pictures of anus and vagina.[38]

ZWB Wiki

ZWB Wiki was established by User:Sodapoli on March 29, 2020. It claims to "record the deeds and related incidents of the avid fans of the game Plants vs. Zombies". The main content of this wiki is insulting PVZ players[46] and articles infringing others' copyright.[47][48]

revisioncatmaio

revisioncatmaio was established by User:BILIBILICrystalStudio on April 3, 2020. The main problem of this website is spoof pictures.

Mainpage

I hope you stewards can read the above reports and evidence in detail, and close the wikis involved. What's more, some of these are inactive now indeed, but I don't think you should wait for their closure according to "inactive" process, because most of the above examples seriously violate the community's content policy, ToU and laws in China and UK, for example:[60]

  1. https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy
    1. Miraheze does not host any content that is illegal in the United Kingdom
      This includes sales of various forms of contraband (ivory, fissionable material, roofies), incitement to violence, or underage nudity.
    2. Miraheze does not host wikis with the sole purpose to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people
      Content on wikis must be fairly balanced, meaningful or substantiated by independent referencing. Wikis which have a clearly identifiable comedic or satire value are exempt from needing to substantiate claims as these provide a meaningful value in terms of relevant content.
    3. A wiki must not create problems which make it difficult for other wikis.
      Things which have a tendency to draw unwelcome attention to the wiki farm, such as hate speech, routine denial of service attacks, excessively violent content, or places in which illegal activity is discussed can create conditions that penalize other wikis, either in SEO, domain blacklisting, downtime, or excessive Miraheze staff time usage, especially in terms of policing content or insuring system stability.
  2. https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use/
    Under no circumstances are you permitted to submit information to Miraheze which is illegal to display, distribute, or disseminate in the United Kingdom.
  3. https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Wiki_creators#Revocation
    A wiki creator's rights may be removed by a steward shall a wiki creator repeatedly violates the Content Policy when creating wikis. The rights may also be removed by a system administrator if the wiki creator (potentially) causes damage (from a technical view) or creates unreasonable workload for System administrators. If you feel a wiki creator is misusing their privileges, please contact a steward.

In addition, I hope to blacklist the applicants and active users (e.g. 莉夏大师, Mzyxsl, Ehsbaiu, Yubaozen, 叶大师, LiaoPoi, TYXSA and Zhangping) of these sites so that they can't establish sites on Miraheze any longer. According to experience, although you have a content policy, the control of content on your farm is quite lax actually. This may be positive to freedom of speech; however, it may also cause that your farm is used as a battlefield.[61]

What's more, I want to clarify my views on your content policy. You claim that the content on the wiki must be "substantiated by independent referencing". However, this rule is almost not followed, especially when the wiki is used to comment on the behavior of another person or group of people. In my opinion, these comments on people is actually the one should be banned because they may be lies and advertisements when positive, or slanders and cyberbullying when negative.

The collection, collation, and exclusion of evidence are skills difficult to learn. However, more and more netizens accuse others of doing evil or violating the law recklessly, but the evidence they give is only some chat records difficult to verify and other information easily forged. I suggest that your farm should not focus on judging the authenticity of these allegations, but should directly prohibit negative comments on others with rudeness, so as to prevent your farm from becoming a battlefield.

In accordance with what you have requested in the past,[62][63] I have listed as many, detailed and representative evidence as possible for each reported case. However, due to the fact that there are too many wiki sites involved, I do not have enough time and energy to find out "all" the inappropriate content on these sites. You can also use Google Translate to read the content of the above sites.

If there are words or sentences you can't understand, please ping me for manual translation. I am also in your discord group and IRC channel.

@游魂:. Thank you for your very detailed report. I will ensure this is relisted until a steward replies to your report, noting their due diligence and that your report will be investigated. Given the length of your report and for reasons of readability of this noticeboard, I have collapsed the bulk of your report on default. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:51, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Most of these wikis have been made private pending further notice. A message will be sent out to the bureaucrats of these wikis instructing them to clean them of such inappropriate material. If the users on these wikis create additional wikis/accounts in order to publicize this information elsewhere on our services, there will be immediate sanctions. If you are aware of, or become aware of, any further of these wikis (particularly any that publicize private information) please let me know as soon as possible. If any of the wikis reported publish such information, and they have not yet been made private, also let me know. -- Void Whispers 22:32, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
As of now, the major contributors for esuwiki have been globally locked. Anyone affected by such a lock may appeal to stewards(at)miraheze.org, or directly to the Code of Conduct Commission. Additionally, the wiki has been closed for further edits. These same actions will be applied to the other wikis once I have more time to review them. Once the review is completed, they will be outright deleted. -- Void Whispers 03:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your hard work. I will always monitor them. --ShriekingSouls (Email me) 04:30, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
@Void: By the way, abusive and violence-inciting content still exists on the homepage of some wikis (Mini World Wiki, EsuBike, Esu Dog Wiki, Touhou Group Wiki and so on). Is it possible to hide their homepage too? --ShriekingSouls (Email me) 05:36, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
@游魂: Yes, that's a very good point because the Main Page on any private wiki is the one page that is still publicly accessible. One option might be to hard redirect those main pages to a private, inaccessible internal page, or to blanking the pages; however, in either case, short of adding a steward page protection level, we will need to have helpful volunteers to monitor for the main page blanking or redirects being reverted (although, if that were happen, that would be in direct contravention or obstruction of a steward action and potentially subject to steward sanction against the offending user). Dmehus (talk) 05:41, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ So you're demanding closing almost whole of wikis in Chinese while contributing obviously nothing to any of Miraheze wikis, just because one or more or less pages of them contains expressions making you uncomfortable ? --Gundaz aghayev (talk) 17:25, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Gundaz aghayev:麻烦您下次换一个号，您在恶俗百科拥有管理权限，三百多编辑，利益相关者，另外几乎所有是什么情况？难道中文都有问题？请阁下别在这抹黑中文维基界了，zhdelwiki是什么？中文维基人维基是什么？NMFWIKI是什么？港澳台那边的wiki是什么？恶俗百科游魂用户页我看到了，恶俗百科（ESU BIKE）鼓动滥用举报，可以啊。城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 02:58, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
@城市酸儒文人挖坑: As we saw, @游魂 is referring to more than 30 Chinese wikis, of some which I never heard of. And you shall not assume they're filled with so-called "hate-speech". About the abuse report, you're calling yourself. --27.102.127.31 04:15, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Void:At present, these wikis are bypassing miraheze's locking by based on the normal user's member permissions, and you are requested to quickly delete the database of such wikis so as not to compromise the personal safety of some whistleblowers, while avoiding further damage to miraheze's reputation.城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 03:03, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Outright deletion is pending a full review of the wiki. I want to make sure users are apropriately sanctioned for the contents they have posted before it is made impossible to review. -- Void Whispers 03:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@城市酸儒文人挖坑: Of course, and the 500+ poor souls' safety are also not guaranteed for about half a year, and almost none of them ask for local authorities, probably not dare of because their crimes. --27.102.127.31 04:22, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Your speech is not accurate. Someone did request to delete some wikis before, but his request was not answered for unknown reasons. --ShriekingSouls (Email me) 05:43, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
@Gundaz aghayev: Wiki farms (e.g., Miraheze and FANDOM) are different from Wikimedia Projects. On wiki farms, users are not expected to have to make contributions to the wikis to win respect. Just have fun. However, the premise of everything is that you must obey the content policy and community guidelines, not bring trouble to others, and not damage the reputation of the entire community. You didn't do this. What you all have done is establishing 30+ wikis about "ESU" and "anti-ESU" on a poor farm having only 100+ Chinese wikis. You have not even controlled the scale of the abuse and persecution content on the pages below a certain level (like Unfavorable Wikis and Users, Horrid Reception Wikis, Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki and Atrocious Youtubers Wiki) so that the content still causes physical discomfort to passers-by even after machine translation. Your damage to Miraheze's reputation is so serious that when I introduced Miraheze to my Chinese friends, they refused to use its services just for "the fear of persecution". Therefore, I implore you to stop sucking Miraheze and other open-source wiki farms like leeches and build a website yourself.
Especially, the so-called "ESUBike" are even belittling the name "ESU" whose previous users dared to spoof powerful dictators, expose the evil deeds of big capitalists, and support controversial political movements on their websites so get "a clearly identifiable comedic or satire value". You dare not. You even claimed on the homepage: "Please don't talk about politics here, and the IP address of the violators will be blocked immediately." What you did was bribing the police and buying from them the private information of civilians, who just like games different from yours or don't please you on social media. DISAPPOINTING. --ShriekingSouls (Email me) 04:49, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
@Void, 城市酸儒文人挖坑, and 游魂: 我确实要求这些wiki被删除，但是官方可能怕被人肉。顺便说，我可能会在年底申请GS。 I have requested the deletion of those wikis violating the terms of use, but maybe you guys and those miraheze guys do not want to have their identity exposed. BTW I will request for GS in October or November since I am just 14 and maybe do not qualify for stewardship due to my age. ThesenatorO5-2 (talk) 00:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
@ThesenatorO5-2: I am not sure what you are talking about, but I would say it is not relevant to this discussion at all. As for Stewardship, there is no age limit, but a Steward should definitely be experienced and mature. Reception123 (talk) (C) 05:30, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
@Reception123: Yeah, I'm not sure what @ThesenatorO5-2: meant in regards to the latter portion of his comment regarding his age and GS potential candidacy as, yes, that wasn't at all relevant. I would note, though, that ThesenatorO5-2's participation is relevant here as he was he was the one who originally reported some of this now private and/or closed problematic wikis. So, in that aspect, he is to be commended for his report. Dmehus (talk) 05:47, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ I've read through the whole discussion above. All of you really did a great job, even if some of you are young and have to balance between study in the real life. Network is not a land out of laws, and I firmly back your demand in locking those wikis, and wish you will success. Be safe from the human-flesh-searching from them. 读了你们的整个讨论。你们做得非常不错，尽管你们有些人还小，需要平衡现实中的学业问题。网络不是法外之地。我坚定支持你们请求封禁这些wiki，希望你们成功。请注意安全免遭人肉。(I'm a user of Miraheze and strongly know how important a clean environment is, but I use IP in light of safety.) --43.225.100.63 14:28, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

It's beyond my expectation that you would really leave a message here. By the way, thank you for answering the question about what VPN you use :P --ShriekingSouls (Email me) 23:50, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ It seems that in order to prevent this being exposed, all content should be subject to suppression in order to protect all people involved. This discussion can then be moved to a private IRC channel or a private wiki. @Void: BTW how is the review going? ThesenatorO5-2 (talk) 10:45, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

@ThesenatorO5-2: Suppression of the violating content would only be necessary if these wikis were ever made public again. I would just note that these wikis will not be made public until (a) all of the offending content has been removed and (b) a steward has reviewed every single page. It is unlikely this process will be concluded before these wikis are deleted in accordance with Dormancy Policy. Moreover, since they are now private wikis, they are not subject to adoption. Dmehus (talk) 15:13, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
@Void, 43.225.100.63, Reception123, 城市酸儒文人挖坑, and 游魂: Please oversight the main page. It contains some personal information. For example, these screenshots:

(redacted) ThesenatorO5-2 (talk) 09:29, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

I have completed the review of, and therefore deleted, several of the listed wikis. -- Void Whispers 16:46, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Good job. Some of the listed wikis are not found now. But others, for example, 迷你世界维基, can still be visited just mainpage. They should be closed as well. --195.123.240.241 15:38, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
195.123.240.241, that main page is the only page visible; that wiki has been made private pending (a) full remediation or (b) deletion, whichever comes sooner. If the main page itself is problematic, then this can be fixed by redirecting it an internal page. Dmehus (talk) 15:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
Because of the intimidation of some people or because they are that part of the people, it is said that these things have logged out of accounts and used proxy tools. The world is so dark. Is there any law? Where is justice?城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 12:34, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Question

Is it possible to have a account split into two?—-Μπέλα2006🌎 (talk) 02:33, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

yes, if you’re referring to an account merge it’s possible you just need to ask a steward to do it. (: Cocopuff2018 02:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
@Μπέλα2006: No, as far as I am aware, it is not possible to split your existing user account into two. I mean, theoretically, a steward likely has the technical means to unattach certain accounts from your existing global account and manually attach them to your other account, but the practical question of this, to what end? Based on my conversations with you, I get the sense you are wanting to unattach from your account and reattach to a new account those wikis on which you've been locally blocked. As I've said to you on multiple user talk pages and noticeboards now, local administrators tend to block for dubious reasons at times, and we don't, generally, take that into consideration. What we do examine, though, is your ability to abide by your global policies on all Miraheze wikis and your behaviour on Miraheze official wikis (chiefly Meta, but also Miraheze Commons, Template Wiki, and the like). I will have more to say to you on a separate, but unrelated, topic in a different venue later today Dmehus (talk) 13:10, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Please globally lock "ALL"

I have made deductions that he is yet another sock of Cowsgumball31, as he calls my friend HellLord “HeckLord”, a term only he would use. - ACoolBlaze5 (talk) 14:42, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Yeah - HellLord 14:45, 6 September 2020
@HellLord: Please see your talk page immediately to make the required fix(es) to your signature timestamp format to comply with Meta's established customs, conventions, and guidelines for talk page and noticeboard signature and timestamp formats. I cannot keep fixing your signature timestamp formats for you indefinitely because, at some point, this becomes a competence is required issue. Dmehus (talk) 16:08, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
@ACoolBlaze5: You need to provide evidence, more than just a single unsourced statement, linked with either magic hook interwiki wikilinks or external links to the wiki's page revisions in question. Dmehus (talk) 16:08, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
@Dmehus: There’s no evidence to prove it, he has only one edit and I researched but found nothing wrong.—-Μπέλα2006🌎 (talk) 16:13, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
@Dmehus: He (Cowfan) made a hate site on Wix where he said it, and it got taken down. So I suggest looking at Cowsgumball31 pre-global lock and ALL’s IPs. — ACoolBlaze5 (talk) 23:18, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
@Dmehus: This links to the comments of User:ALL on UWAUW. This links to comments Cowgumball31 submitted on UWAUW. Both those previous links show each user acting similar. This links to the block log on one of Cowgumball31's wikis, where in one block summary he mockingly told HellLord he couldn't have a minor bad word in his username. While the last link may seem a stretch it does show parallels to the hate that User:ALL uses for HellLord, and it shows that both Cowsgumball31 and User:ALL don't like HellLord's name as User:ALL censors it while Cowsgumball31 expressed mockery and dislike towards it during that block summary. While we can't link to the site on Wix the user going by the name of Cowfan (which is extremely probable to be Cowsgumball31 judging by their actions) also censored HellLord's name on that hate site. While I wish I could bring up more solid evidence I hope someone will at least look into this. --GondorChicken (talk) 01:22, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
@ACoolBlaze5: (edit conflict) As it happened, ALL found their way to my user talk page either prior to or shortly after you raised this discussion. I did have a quick check of ALL's contributions on Meta and Cowsgumball31, and did note some behavioural similarities. Stewards will likely need more evidence; they cannot just use the CheckUser tool based on users' assertions. They cannot go on "fishing expeditions." It would be particularly helpful if you could at least list several diffs from each user's contributions on other wikis. I have a script on line 5 in my global.js file that you can copy and paste into your global.js file. When you click on the prev link next to a particular page revision, you'll get a Special:Diff link that you can then copy and paste in a new reply, formatted in an unordered or ordered list fashioned and linked like this: [[mh:subdomain:SpecialPageLink|optional piped and displayed link]]. Hope this helps. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:28, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
@GondorChicken: Thank you for your report. That is better, as you've provided some analysis of some behavioural similarities. If you've found some on-wiki evidence that Cowsgumball31 referred to HellLord as "HeckLord," that would very much help. The only similarities I've seen on Meta is that both ALL and Cowsgumball31 signed their talk page and user talk page posts as Signed ALL. and Signed Cowsgumball31, each with no wikilinks to their user and user talk pages and no timestamps (when they signed at all; both frequently forgot to sign as well). That, too, isn't likely enough, but, perhaps, there's enough here for stewards to take the time to investigate. I've notified them on Discord. Dmehus (talk) 01:37, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Looks like a likely sock. Locked. -- Void Whispers 17:51, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Can you please globally ban him as well as his IP? He also said I'm "worse than George Floyd", which is disrespectful. I would send a screenshot for proof, but the abuse filter disallowed it.

Cant Log In To My Account

Recently my account Waterman signed in to the wiki.8b8t.com wiki, but however, when I tried to sign in to this wiki in order to adopt a closed wiki, I had to log in, but when I tried to login, it didn't work, it only worked on the 8b8t wiki. so that's why I'm here today.

So since I couldn't Login, I decided to tell the noticeboard. IP editor 15:41, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

@IP editor:, can you please e-mail your request to tech(at)miraheze.org, if the problem is technical in nature, and stewards(at)miraheze.org, if the problem is not? If you are unsure, use the first of the two. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 16:02, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Please globally lock these accounts for vandalism on a dead Roblox wiki

There's a user going around vandalizing pages on Abysmal Roblox Games Wiki and I believe the same user is abusing multiple accounts.

Exemption dormancy policy for Vaccabolario wiki

Hi stewards,

I'm the Vaccabolario wiki's bureucrat, asking the dormancy policy exemption as this wiki, being a Dictionary, is mostly made to be read (and, considering it's 99% text, it won't take much room on Miraheze's servers anyway).

I asked it in a recent past but, not seeing my wiki listed into Exemptions list, nor an approval/deny comment from you, I'm asking it again. (and again, and again, and again, ... as a matter of fact I'm posting the same request nearly every month: maybe at least one comment from you could be welcome sorry: didn't see @Dmehus comment on my July post, the reasons I expressed there are still valid, tho).

Thanks in advance,

Unread mail?

I sent an email to stewards at miraheze.org seven days ago and it still hasn't gotten a response. I consider the matter somewhat urgent and I am disappointed that it has taken so long for an answer. Wpetoi (talk) 19:16, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Wpetoi: (edit conflict) We are volunteers, but if this is regarding a Code of Conduct-related issue, you might send a short follow-up e-mail to stewards(at)miraheze.org asking for an expected timeline on when a decision will be made as to whether to investigate your complaint. Once they've given you that (it shouldn't take more than 30 days, I should think) and the decision thus rendered, you have the Code of Conduct Commission available to you as an appeal venue. If this is not related to a Code of Conduct-related issue, you may DM me on Discord the particulars, and I will follow up with a steward privately on the same and try and find out an expected resolution timeframe for you. Hope this helps. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 19:21, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I did send it to the correct email, and it is a Code of Conduct violation. I don't see how a followup email would help? Wpetoi (talk) 19:23, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
@Wpetoi: (edit conflict) It sounds like the resolution has taken place, but you weren't notified, which may have just been an oversight. So, I will {{ping}} @Void: to this thread. Dmehus (talk) 19:24, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Resolution? The bans are still in place as of now. If you're referring to my previous message, I took it down on purpose :P Wpetoi (talk) 19:30, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
@Wpetoi: The blocks are locally imposed blocks. I can't speak to the fairness of their local blocking policy (to the extent one even exists), but there's little stewards can do here in that regard. I would suggest you maybe point out the most egregious block summaries that contravene the Code of Conduct, and it may be possible for a steward to unblock & reblock you under the same conditions and terms with a cleaner block summary, revision deleting the previous block's block summary. That's likely the best case resolution in this case, as far as I can tell. You could also propose a two-way global interaction ban between yourself and any of the major local actors on that wiki on community noticeboard. If the community agreed, and you'd have to provide some detailed background information and context, it would only be appealable to the Miraheze community. If they blocked you, they would be in violation of that community-imposed interaction ban, so stewards would be empowered to act. Likewise, if you did the same to any of them, you would, too, be in violation. Dmehus (talk) 20:10, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
@Dmehus: Still no response. My initial message was mostly focused on code of conduct violations, so I still fail to see how sending a second email would help. I personally believe that blocking a user from editing a wiki without being prompted violates multiple points in the Code of Conduct, but I suppose it isn't my job to determine that. The user Hookuai has also attempted to harass me with pictures of gore through various outlets, all of which I have blocked them from using to contact me one way or another. I haven't mentioned that yet, but I figured I'd mention it now. Wpetoi (talk) 17:57, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
@Wpetoi: Where's proof Hookaui sent pictures of gore? Because there is no evidence, and you keep lying. @Dmehus:, I would like to alert you because Wpetoi isn't trustworthy. He keeps lying then taking the victim card. AppleCrunchy (talk) 20:10, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @Wpetoi and AppleCrunchy: From my perspective as a non-steward, this isn't likely an issue that's going to be resolved on the basis of one user's report of other users. There are problems involving many users on the Reception wikis, and so, there's no real clear answers here. All I can suggest is you maintain exhaustive logs and summaries of events, links to relevant diffs, so that you have some evidence to submit to stewards if and when this becomes a wider ranging case.

Request for steward mediation between QwertyMan'65 and Portrock1566

Please unblock me, because portrock1566 blocked me for indefinite time, so i can do fun for my pleasure, please i admitted him portrock1566 is a traitor of me, i used to be a shitposter consisting of political satire, and goes awry with the posting of mocking george floyd and the beirut explosion, while at first glance in my discord server of the outcast network and toxic fandom and hate wiki, i used malnourished kid just for joke. I am innocent person. QwertyMan'65 (talk) 01:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

"The block was made by ‪Portrock1566‬. The reason given is Considering that you once had a profile picture of a malnourished kid and that you posted a Beirut Explosion (which is news flash, offensive) meme on Discord.

@QwertyMan'65: Thank you for your post, and welcome to Meta. Please do try and remember to sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). It looks you tried to, actually, but you originally included your signature in the section header of your post. Please avoid putting the bulk of your noticeboard and talk page posts in section headers. This looks to me like a local dispute, and you're questioning a local block on a Reception wiki. This is normally outside of steward purview; however, they, strictly in their capacity as a Miraheze community member, or another established Miraheze community member, may be willing to mediate this dispute in a neutral location (i.e., on one of your user talk pages, or on the mediator's user talk page), but this would only be possible if both you and Portrock1566 agree to the mediation as we currently have no capacity to impose mandatory mediation (though there may be merits to such a proposal in the future, given the number of two-party disputes we are seeing; the trouble with these proposals, though, is finding enough willing volunteers).

I need help from stewards to rehabilitate my life in order to get unblocked across all the reception wiki families, and the Discord servers of the same name.

    Hello @Lamborghini446, this not attempt to not global Portrock because I just tell to their stewards to give advice towards him, not global block! you say "He has a good reason to block him" yet Portrock is still a pessimist and occasionally a dehumanizer towards me. Portrock's reason to block me was mixed; some says that this is a bad move while others this is still good move.
    Portrock's reason to block me virtually had no admin accountability, and he need to find out why @QwertyMan'65 needs rehabilitation. Also @Lamborghini446, you don't be rude to me, because if you are an suspected affiliate with Portrock, then you need take a rest for a while because my steward is remedying my mistakes in order apoligize the community. You must noticing my mistakes that i will be issued a public apology. In my other words: Portrock's block decision was mixed meaning they have divided tastes. QwertyMan'65 (talk) 01:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
    I think it's no use replying to this topic now. Because Summary: QwertyMan is playing the victim card in this topic, saying Portrock dehumanized him when he brought this to himself by posting offensive "political satire" and had a malnourished child as a pfp and used the "joke" excuse on why he did this.

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘@MeMeGuYWasLost and Lamborghini446: First, to both of you, you are both unnamed third parties in what is a steward request by @QwertyMan'65: for mediation by either (a) a steward or (b) an uninvolved community volunteer on Meta to mediate and, hopefully, resolve a local dispute between him and Portrock1566. While you can comment, your comments should be both (a) helpful and (b) able to add something of value. Your comments do neither of these things. Moreover, they don't even address what QwertyMan'65 is even requesting. Thus, these are non-helpful third party peanut gallery-type comments, as I said on @Lamborghini446:'s user talk page.

I have yet to see any evidence of them (especially on-wiki) doing anything so extreme.

@Dmehus: I don't have the screenshot, but Inkster tried telling YandereDev thru Discord, and illegally closed Common Sense Wiki using Cerok. Also kept evading bans using Demino, and posted CP on Discord. Portrock1556 might have the screenshot, but we can't post it due to breaking the content policy AppleCrunchy (talk) 16:58, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

@AppleCrunchy: I am aware of Inkster's inappropriate contravention of user accounts policy, yes, and am also aware of his inappropriate block summaries. What I was referring to as the Code of Conduct violations, primarily, was that which has now been redacted by @NDKilla:. I would just remind everyone that when you make stewards' noticeboard requests about a user, you must link to local wiki evidence. This is not ANI, and it unacceptable to cast aspersions. Personally, I think everyone needs to just stick to their local wikis—Inkster to his and everyone else to theirs. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:11, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

If you have suspicions he's evading those blocks, supply the diffs showing the behavioural evidence, and stewards can look into it. Until then, nothing really needs to happen here, other than removing problematic content on Reception wikis which violates Content Policy. Hope this helps.

Inactivity exemption for educational Wiki(s)

Hello, I have a series of Wikis used for a world design class I taught over the summer. My students put in a lot of effort into their Wikis and are hoping to use their work on their portfolios. There is a main landing page gat398su.miraheze.org and then several individual wikis for each student gat398projX.miraheze.org with X being number 1 to 14. Is it possible to get these sites with an inactivity exemption so students do not have to go and update the closed status every 6 months?

FireBarrier101, A staff member has already globally locked the account for good. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 21:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 Locked by @Reception123: as a Username Policy violation. Dmehus (talk) 21:07, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Can you check the global account for Trollsome?

Because I have a feeling that it was made by a user who was previously banned for lock evasions.

Also, here is some evidence that could link that account to him: https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions/Trollsome DarkMatterMan4500 {talk} 21:02, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

@DarkMatterMan4500: Can you link to the Special:DeletedContributions and/or Special:Contributions of the previously locked users of whom you suspect of evading their locks? It would be inappropriate to perform a CheckUser on a single account without another account to compare against. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 21:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
@Dmehus: Well, here's something that you could compare it to: Special:Contributions/GTA2001 DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 21:15, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
@DarkMatterMan4500: That would be more helpful, certainly, but if I recall correctly, didn't you, or someone else on Discord, note that GTA2001 was themselves suspected of possible lock evasion? Do you happen to recall who you suspect GTA2001 of being an illegitimate sockpuppet of? Dmehus (talk) 21:29, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
@Dmehus: I actually suspected that account was a sock made by Willg8686 on Miraheze due to similar behavior patterns, thus, them talking about Trollsome on Scratch.
--DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 21:37, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
@DarkMatterMan4500: Okay, this is better. Thank you. A steward should review your report in not too long a timeframe to review your report and perform their own due diligence. Dmehus (talk) 22:01, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Check User

Can you check if the user 99.19.12.152 Is the same user as Bigtastey89 due to weird behavior on a wiki? I noticed that another unlogged in user is doing the same thing, however, there is something very strange about this one that is different from the other one, this one has been globally blocked exactly one month ago. I have no idea how or why they are doing this, and I have even less of a idea how they are doing it when their account is globally blocked. --ScratchCoder (talk) 23:57, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

@ScratchCoder: (edit conflict) If it's just a logged out editor on a single wiki, I personally don't this would be required, to be perfectly honest. If you are seeing weird behaviour for that IP editor, you could just locally block (or rangeblock) that IP address and/or temporarily protect the page(s) in question to registered, logged in editors only. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:59, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Login is not working

I can't login in my wiki https://perthowiki.miraheze.org

Sorry, but without login I can't add any screenshot for illustration of my problem.

Also I can't change laguage for you? this is only russian:

"Похоже, возникли проблемы с текущим сеансом работы; это действие было отменено в целях предотвращения «захвата сеанса». Пожалуйста, переотправьте форму."

It's very important for me by closed wiki.

I have this board in all pages:

"This wiki has no edits or logs made within the last 45 days, therefore it is marked as inactive. If you would like to prevent this wiki from being closed, please start showing signs of activity here. If there are no signs of this wiki being used within the next 15 days, this wiki may be closed per the Dormancy Policy. This wiki will then be eligible for adoption by another user. If not adopted and still inactive 135 days from now, this wiki will become eligible for deletion. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with Miraheze's Dormancy Policy. If there is activity on this wiki you can go to Special:ManageWiki and uncheck "inactive" yourself. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask at Stewards' noticeboard."

What can I do in this terrible situation?..

Checkuser request on suspected accounts

Hi, I'd like to request for checkuser on suspected accounts on Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki. They are:

Most people said that Inkster is the owner of this account. People said that he showed up (As he joined in September 7, 2020) just days after Inkster started getting blocked around several wikis probably just a coincidence. Because of this Thorn Ice was accused as a sockpuppet use by Inkster. Thanks. 「T ҍ C」(yell / earth) left miraheze 09:15, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

There is a user who is a admin that is doxxing a user's face on Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki on Miraheze

So this page https://unfavorablefandomwikis.miraheze.org/wiki/Kadabra which is made by Caulipower contains a Google Drive folder, that has a image of the user's face (which he hacked his webcam to get) and posted it there. His parents also tried to tell him to remove it, but he refused to (since he hated that user so much) and he wants the user to get doxxed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldieSchool (talk • contribs) 12:54, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

First of all, you aren't fooling anyone Willg. Second of all, Caulipower did not "hack your webcam" and doesn't know how to hack people. Finally, while the drive shouldn't contain a picture of your face for privacy reasons, it is obvious that it was already made public before and therefore does not fit the definition of doxxing. Can a steward please lock this account for ban evasion and spreading more false information? Paprika (talk) 13:18, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Ilogicopedia

The illogicalpedia was abandoned by its administrators and there is little activity. --Anthony8IA (talk) 14:03, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@Anthony8IA: Well, you can read Dormancy Policy as that may apply to your question. However, I'm not sure what your question is. Are you wanting to adopt the wiki, or otherwise hold a local election on the wiki with inactive administrators? Either of these may be possible, depending on the current wiki's status, and the circumstances that gave rise to that status. Dmehus (talk) 14:26, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I would like to adopt the wiki. --Anthony8IA (talk) 14:31, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
@Anthony8IA: Okay, thanks. That's helpful. Looking in Special:ManageWiki, I see that wiki is not closed, so it cannot be adopted. I do see the wiki's sole bureaucrat has not edited in more than six months or more, yes, so you have a couple options here. One, you could go to this special page on the wiki to connect with that bureaucrat's user page and then use the Special:EmailUser function (if available) to see if they will appoint you as a bureaucrat and administrator on the wiki. Alternatively, ideally if they don't reply or you cannot use that function, you can hold a local election in a prominent page on the wiki, naming yourself as the candidate for local bureaucrat. If the wiki has local policies governing bureaucrat selection or election, you must follow them, and should link to that page in your local election. If they have no local policies governing role elections or selections, then, typically, you should establish those rules on your request for appointment or election page and, as a recommended guideline, should follow the global customs and conventions that we use (typically, a candidate's request is open for at least seven calendar days, the number of position(s) open for election or appointment is specified, the number of candidates running is also specified, and the required minimum support ratio is specified). Since the wiki is notionally not an active wiki, you should specify what happens if no one expresses a view after the minimum election timeframe you or the local wiki specifies (i.e., if it will be considered successful or unsuccessful). Once your local process has concluded, come back to stewards' noticeboard and, in a new thread, link to both your local election page (using the MirahezeMagic interwiki wikilink format I used in this reply) and any of the wiki's relevant guidelines or policies, and a steward will assess your process and grant rights in absence of an active local bureaucrat on the wiki.

Reopen

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
This discussion is going in circles and not getting anywhere. The point is, as said in the ManageWiki log description, unfavorablefandomwikiswiki was closed due to the repeated failures of local administrators to act and make sure the Content Policy is being enforced, as well as them ignoring and circumventing what Stewards asked them to do. There was no need for there to be a specific warning that it was going to be closed, and there were tons of warnings and deletions for Content Policy and Code of Conduct violations. The content policy says: "Wiki creators and wiki administrators are expected to know this policy, and ensure that their wikis do not fall outside the bounds of these rules." The local administrators did not seem to put any effort into ensuring the wiki was respecting the policy, probably even the opposite frankly. Reception123 (talk) (C) 15:28, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Reopen unfavorable wikis and users because it just randomly got closed. i have no idea why it was closed and it wont let me reopen it. ScratchCoder (talk) 14:47, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

It did not randomly get closed. It was closed due to repeated Content Policy violations that were not addressed after numerous warnings given by both Global Sysops and Stewards. Reception123 (talk) (C) 14:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
But users can just be warned that they will be demoted if they violated the policy. ScratchCoder (talk) 14:53, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Large parts of the wiki were violating the content policy, it wasn't a question of one or two individual users being the only people responsible for the violations. Reception123 (talk) (C) 14:54, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
@ScratchCoder: The problem isn't just a Code of Conduct issue; it was a systemic violation of Content Policy on a wiki wide scale. Sometimes, it just makes sense to take a match to the wiki. Dmehus (talk) 14:58, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
But still, it would not make sense to close it just with no warning at all. ScratchCoder (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
@ScratchCoder: The Inkster and Zenko pages were two of the most flagrant Content Policy issues, and just the tip of the iceberg. It was not closed without warning. Your wiki has become the subject of constant global surveillance and remediation, which your local administrators have not acted upon, and at some point, it just becomes too problematic for global functionaries to police. Dmehus (talk) 15:04, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
(edit conflict) There were multiple warnings before regarding the Content Policy and Code of Conduct issues made by Stewards and Global Sysops. It is perfectly normal that if these warnings and suggestions are ignored by most users, the wiki would be closed altogether. Reception123 (talk) (C) 15:06, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
But what could happen is it could be reopen and on the Sitenotice it can say do not violate the policy or you will get banned/demoted and the wiki might be closed. ScratchCoder (talk) 15:15, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

I believe these wikis are violating TOS (Harassment Pages and Block Lists)

Both Atrocious YouTubers Wiki and Horrible Vyonders Wiki have harassing block lists and many pages don't have evidence on them. SmackDownVSRaw (talk • contribs) 3:00, 21 September 2020 (EDT)

You legit couldn't be farther from wrong, it was closed because the ENTIRE wiki violated CoC and content policy. Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 03:13, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Why is Horrible Vyonders Wiki closed?

Which file violated Code of Conduct, so it caused the closure of Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki?

I just want know what exactly went wrong, because I miss this wiki as a source of unlikable communities that people should be aware of. Man who turned Evil (talk) 12:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

@Man who turned Evil: It was no specific page or even several page(s). If it were just that, the pages would've been deleted, and the local administrators told why. The problem with that wiki, as with the others, was a systemic issue, with sustained and persistent Content Policy violations. As well, the local administrators themselves committed sustained and continuous Code of Conduct with their egregious block and edit summaries. Dmehus (talk) 13:27, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
Well, I remember browsing block logs and I know there were some mean-spirited summaries why guilty users of that wiki were blocked. Now I get it!- Man who turned Evil (talk) 22:29, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Does the other wikis fall under the violation of Code of Conduct?

These wikis to be precise

Wikis that show the worst users/things: Crappy Games Wiki (Some pages harass some developers), Terrible TV Shows Wiki (Some pages harass certain animators), Awful Movies Wiki, and Rotten Websites Wiki

Wikis that show the best users/things: Awesome Games Wiki, Best TV Shows Wiki, Marvelous Vyonders Wiki, and Amazing YouTubers Wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Machop (talk • contribs) 14:02, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

@Machop: Those wikis, I would say, from what I have seen, do have some Code of Conduct issues, particularly in and around their administrators' block and edit summaries. As well, at times, the edit summaries by administrators and users are not appropriate. In terms of content, they are generally better than the user-focused Reception wikis, but they are by no means blameless. If you see blatant Code of Conduct or Content Policy issues on these wikis, you should either report them to stewards and Global Sysops on Discord/IRC, on this noticeboard, or via e-mail to stewards(at)miraheze.org. Regardless of your reporting channel, you should always link to specific revisions of pages or log actions that are particularly egregious.

I don’t think the reception wikis harass or dox people, they just criticise them and give us reasons why they are not good, Awful Movies Wiki doesn’t harass people. We don't it to be the end like what happened years ago at FANDOM. HellLord (talk) 14:50, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Those wikis aren't really harassment since the "animators and developers" aren't users like Inkster. Besides they are criticism, not harassment. They aren't what Atrocious YouTubers and Unfavorable Users and Wikis did and failed. ItMeansNothing (talk) 15:14, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Toxic Fandoms And Hatedoms Wiki

So is it true? That a myriad of violations caused the closure of this wiki?

If it is, I'll tell you something. In my time spent on that wiki, I've seen multiple problems that run in and around the local wiki, from its anarchic state to its current form, I saw some messed up stuff, from edit summaries and some block reasons. Freddie123 (talk) 15:24, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

@Machop: First off Willg, you were never even threatened at all. The reason why I blocked you was because you wouldn't stop creating account after account just to evade bans, and second, you didn't provide anything to prove that I quote unquote "threatened you". All I said was if the reception wikis were shut down because of you, it would've been all your fault. So overall, no threat was even made towards you.

I wouldn't personally consider that a threat. If you are indeed a sockpuppet as they claim, then you should not be creating accounts on their wikis. Reception123 (talk) (C) 16:32, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
Indeed. This is a user that was banned a long time ago for slandering people. He will not stop evading his bans via VPN and it is our right to block him for doing so as long as he keeps making new accounts. Paprika (talk) 16:35, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Close this wiki

https://nationalsocialism.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

A Nazi wiki, well it has no content yet, but as the wiki's name says and welcome page says it wants to promote Nazism.

Close it before its being used for those things. OPMAN (talk) 12:59, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

@OPMAN: Miraheze values freedom of speech and diversity of views. Unless there are serious violations of the Code of Conduct or Content Policy, a wiki promoting a political ideology, regardless of how extreme, is highly unlikely to be shut down. In short, if you see those serious violations, you must link to each violation directly, preferably in a list format, in order for a steward to investigate. Dmehus (talk) 13:57, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Disgusted and disappointed and here I thought the term "hate speech" in Content Policy actually meant something. OPMAN (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
@OPMAN: "Hate speech" does "mean something." What I'm saying is, unless you can show, directly, specific examples of threats or egregious, hateful speech towards a group of people or individual persons, then there's little stewards can do. There's nothing in Content Policy that prevents informational, or even avocational wikis, discussing or criticizing one or more political ideologies (which include Nazi socialism, fascism, anarchism, and similar). Hope that makes sense. Dmehus (talk) 15:00, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
In my view, as long as it is a historical wiki and is solely there for documenting facts and remains neutral, there should not be any issues. But if it makes certain claims against specific groups of people or such, in that case that should be investigated. Please let us know if there are specific instances of that. Reception123 (talk) (C) 15:33, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
@Reception123: Why limit it to historical, though? I think the key is neutrality, and the views being advocated. That is, a Nazism wiki that advocates hateful acts against one or more groups of people would not be okay whereas an informational wiki outlining the broad strokes ideologies, current or historical, in a compare and contrast-type format would probably be okay. It's really context specific, but yes, in any case, the requestor's report does not meet the requirements for an investigation. Dmehus (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Yes, my main issue is for it to advocate hateful acts, or perhaps call groups of people "inferior" to others, which would be discrimination. I would like to point out a previous discussion on this matter that is about a similar topic. Reception123 (talk) (C) 15:40, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
@OPMAN: Christ dude, you really want to get my empty wiki banned based on the Main Page? - National Socialist Friendo (talk) 16:40, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, gratefully, National Socialist Friendo (talk) 18:47, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
@National Socialist Friendo: Yeah I do and I still stand by that and why don't you just change your name to "Nazi Friendo" and Dmehus says "Nazi socialism, fascism, anarchism, and similar", what? In what way anarchism is similar to other two, makes no sense and yeah historical wikis are ok, Wikia has a Nazi wiki but as Reception123 said, that wiki documents historical stuff, but what I saw on the main page at that time in this wiki, It was not about historical things, It stated It wants to promote the Nazi movement and beliefs of Nazism, which basically means it wants to promote Nazism, If you actually know what it is, you will know that comes under "hate speech" in Content Policy, I just hope miraheze doesn't become some kinda cesspool in the name of so called "freedom of speech" or "neutrality".
