@Raidarr: is warned against making negative comments on other users regardless of the accuracy of those statements. Consider finding a more tact manner of stating what needs to be said, and indeed, whether or not it is something that needs to be said at all. There is not, in my opinion, enough of a long-standing case (nor further continuing behavior) for revocation or further sanctions. -- Void Whispers 18:55, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
Status:  Not done

Yeah. Do I need to say anything? Imagine a world in which all volunteers got along and had no issues. This doesn't happen. Now imagine issues being resolved normally, participants assuming good faith, and not intentionally looking for ways to go after other users. Either by hounding them or just by saying things in their head. This doesn't happen either.

There is no shortage of problems on Miraheze of users looking through my edits and saying hurtful things outside of the VCP. But the worst offender, and contemporary offender is here right now and one who I CANNOT escape from.

Some example:

I have tried simply ignoring them, but they keep doing it. All while going on about how I have not been "held accountable" for my alleged VCP violations even though in actuality I am subject to a nonstop stream of complaints every single day, while no-one even thinks about them. So, since we have a giant thread full of things I have done (and even things I haven't done, that people just came up with), let's discuss someone else next. Even DeeM28 themself admits that these VCP violations are the result of other VCP violations, and there may be multiple people involved. Naleksuh (talk) 21:47, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

If you don't want to be offended because I'm giving you a honest pushback for what you do to others then maybe don't do it, but we both know you're not going to do that so good luck on this request. Anyone uncertain is free to review my history and Nale's history respectively. Various links to start are available in the preceding section. --Raidarr (talk) 21:56, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
then maybe don't do it, but we both know you're not going to do that Another example. How can the project possibly operate smoothly when they have been told by others what they will do (and often a negative or untrue thing, not a prediction just some personal attack). This is one of the things that needs to stop and some of the VCP issues that led to this request. Naleksuh (talk) 22:00, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
I would be happy to be proven wrong and discuss when you set down the indignant offense stick and start to reply to what has actually been said instead of trying to escape accountability. --Raidarr (talk) 22:03, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 Strongest oppose This is ridiculous. This request is completely unnecessary. The reasoning provided does not warrant removal of rights. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 22:18, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
First, this is a request to stewards, not a vote, second, why doesn't it? Does the VCP not apply to Raidarr? Naleksuh (talk) 22:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
+1 to that. OrangeStar (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
How unfortunate, yet another example of deflection. I will admit that this is why Stewards have enabled you and have not dealt with you as we should have in a proper manner. We simply don't have the time or energy to undergo your campaigns of deflection where you turn a topic against someone and we know if we try to raise this issue up with you, you will simply try to turn the table against us. All volunteers have disputes with each other, I won't deny that I've clashed with a few fellow community members but very rarely will these disputes bubble up to the surface and cause the magnitude of drama that occurs with disputes relating to you. Every single time someone tries to point something out, you deflect or change the topic. It makes trying to debate something basically impossible and makes it so that we cannot effectively resolve any problems with you. The way you argue things too doesn't help. You dissect everything very meticulously and try to change topics against one which tires out the other party who eventually gives up. This is a recurring pattern on IRC which any regular of Discord or IRC will be able to attest to and the source of countless drama on these mediums. No one holds a grudge against you, you're a very brilliant person in fact and I was told very, very good things about you by Dmehus and other volunteers when I first started volunteering here and I still believe them, but your conduct and the way you argue things make it impossible to volunteer in this project and makes the environment extremely hostile. This is yet another example of trying to deflect the attention from you to Raidarr. Raidarr isn't a saint, his comment to you was indeed blunt and sugarcoating it would've been best but in my view, his comments weren't a personal attack (blunt, perhaps) but instead a direct symptom of what has caused so much reason drama as of late, your behavior, which has been unchecked for far too long and enabled by Stewards, past and present, who have basically given you a free pass and the liberty to trample over the Code of Conduct simply because they do not have the energy or time to effectively deal with your game of semantics and wikilawyering. Agent Isai Talk to me! 22:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
I would add that there are no rights here to be revoked by Stewards, so this entire thread is pointless even on the highly unlikely chance that someone even gives it a moment's thought. Raidarr is autopatrolled on Meta, that's it. I don't really see any point in removing that. If you are asking for his global sysop permissions to be revoked, that cannot be done by Stewards except in emergency cases. That would require a community discussion. As such, there's really nothing to do here. Not sure why this was created. BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 00:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
this entire thread is pointless even on the highly unlikely chance that someone even gives it a moment's thought Wow, if I said this you would freak out. But I guess I know by now that policies just only apply to some people. Naleksuh (talk) 00:31, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
No, I'm just pointing out the fact that people aren't likely to take it seriously. I haven't made personal attacks against you, I haven't insulted you. I've pointed out a fact about the current situation. There are no VCP violations here. Additionally, as I've said, there are no rights for you to request be revoked. BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 00:39, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Naleksuh, I don't mean to be rude, but that responded to almost none of what you're replying to. Collei (talk) (contribs) 07:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ To build on BrandonWm's comment, this request would technically be moot, since locally Raider holds only autopatrolled, which is up to meta sysops and not stewards. Globally they hold Global Sysop, but stewards can only revoke in an emergency which this is not. (a vote of no confidence is required) MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 00:45, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

I think it's fair to question what this request is actually for. Outside of emergencies, Stewards aren't allowed to remove Global Sysops without a community vote. It would be useful for you to indicate what you are actually requesting that Stewards do. I would also argue that the fact that quite a few users supported Raidarr's request for Steward after your oppose likely indicates that they don't agree with your assessment of the matter as surely users wouldn't support someone for Steward if they thought that they were violating global policies. Reception123 (talk) (C) 06:07, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Indeed, as you've noted, the Global Sysops emergency revocation clause does specifically only allow Stewards to revoke the permission in the absence of community consensus, provided they bring forward that community discussion, for which the user must pass, for blatant misuse of the Global Sysop's toolset (for example, a number of global locks or local blocks in a short span of time for which there was no valid reason). However, we do also have the Volunteer Conduct Policy, which provides for enforcement by Stewards, together with, in the case of Meta Wiki only, local Meta Wiki bureaucrats and administrators, as appropriate. Both Global Sysops and Volunteer Conduct Policy are global policies, and if this request for revocation is being made under the VCP rather than the GS policy, then procedurally, it may well be in scope (though not necessarily valid). Arguably, VCP is a supra-policy in that it is a broader overarching policy, similar to the Terms of Use, and would thus override more narrow GS policies, but that does not necessarily mean that it should override more narrow global policies, of course. For me, the aggrieved pattern of conduct would have to be wide-ranging, cross-wiki, and not able to be resolved through potential conduct counter-measures implemented locally on one wiki. Of course, Meta Wiki is a special wiki in that counter-measures implemented locally may prevent an advanced permissioned user from carrying out their global duties, hence why it's tricky to simply devolve that authority to Meta bureaucrats and administrators. The idea of a distinction between supra-global policies and ordinary global policies is one which merits further discussion and one which I would be interested in collaborating with others to draft, particularly because if there is not a distinction between supra- and ordinary global policies, then we potentially have a situation where the global role-specific policies come into conflict with the Volunteer Conduct Policy, Global Conduct Policy, and related pan-Miraheze global policies.
In any case, though, all of this is not actionable by Stewards or Meta bureaucrats, as the first linked diff is just Naleksuh complaining about a thread Raidarr started about him and the second two are just Raidarr explaining his view on why and how he views Naleksuh's interactions with other users are negative and continuous. Dmehus (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

 Strongest oppose I don't use Meta much but I have had interactions with Raidarr and it was good. I have not seen anything bad from him so I don't understand where you are going with this one. Charlie Fiddlesticks (talk) 19:57, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

 Strongest oppose Same as others. I've replied to Nale on these type of things several time before. Collei (talk) 04:58, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

 Strongest oppose Also the same as the others, at some point a return to reason has to occur here, stepping away from emotions and ego, and users stop being attacked and having things reframed to be the reverse. Raidarr is a sensible, reasonable person, I see no reason to remove them. Enough if enough now, please. | -- FrozenPlum 06:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

First, for at least the 10th time the stewards noticeboard is not a polling ground. This thread is not any form of vote and templates and symbols have no meaning. Were you just using them because other people were, or is there a different reason?
Second, I think this thread is the return to reason, so far there has been an issue with misinformation and intentionally looking past VCP violations. A good example is how you said that you "see no reason" even though several reasons were provided. Are you going to address those, or just say you see no reason without looking at the reasons? Naleksuh (talk) 06:16, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
So it's my turn to be targeted I guess? Can you point me to the rule against using the poll template here? Otherwise, please don't turn your sights on me for disagreeing with you. The disrespectful and condescending approach noticed in most communications (the comment above, going after me, right after I voiced neutral observation of your behavior, being a good example). Behavior such as this is what makes it difficult to take the things said or presented, at face value, frankly. When repeatedly loaded, nitpicking/pedantic, or highly argumentative views are presented, that's the impression left with people. That tends to degrade how seriously other issues presented are viewed. That's not us doing that, unfortunately, that's you. As for engaging in an argument about it, I think you get something out of this, so I won't engage that. I used to be that way a tiny bit too, the great thing is, these are all things that can be worked on and improved, which is awesome! It takes a while to form new habits, and looking closely at ourselves is hard, but it was highly worth it for me. Some practice in gratitude, as well as in communication, social, and emotional intelligence I found to also be super helpful for this--one of the best things I ever did for myself. Anyway, best of luck in future Naleksuh! :) | -- FrozenPlum 10:28, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Loathsome Characters Wiki

I don't think the site this guy is linking on his blog post is allowed...

In this thread, he links a site that is infamous for doxxing and harassment of other users and it has illegal content.

https://loathsomecharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Blog:Somebody_ban_this_bitch#end

Additionally, this blog post looks a bit toxic if you ask me. BlastoiseTheWikiEditor (talk) 17:56, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Site is encyclopedia dramatica, LOL. So that's still a thing. OrangeStar (talk) 18:00, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Real Life Villains Wiki

What happened to this wiki? It appears to have been deleted. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 00:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

The wiki was closed by a Steward for Content Policy violations (log action). Tali64³ (talk) 00:54, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
But it still has potential to be better though. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 01:28, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The administration of the wiki was given 60 days to resolve the issues, but well over 90% of sampled pages still had content policy issues at time of closure.
Chances to improve have been used up, the wiki will not be returning. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 03:13, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
You are very late to the conversation, Money. If you want to see a wiki of this nature avoid closure, contribute to Knowledge is Power - it's the spitting image of RLV and I'm not sure why it was approved, but it is currently in a grace period to fix itself up before I formally enter to strike it for the same reasons as RLV. --Raidarr (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
I still have a couple of issues though:
  1. The administration are only one group of users who weren't able to fix things. I could improve it better, and there might be others out there.
  2. There is still history lost, so creating new wikis is still a problem.

Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 20:05, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

The wiki is long gone now, so I'd advise contributing to the Knowledge is Power wiki to potentially save that one from being deleted. Tali64³ (talk) 20:33, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Regardless of whether you could do better, the wiki won't be reopened at this point. Conversation won't be productive or reverse this situation, please find a different project as suggested. --NotAracham (talk • contribs • global) 20:48, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

@No se:  checked, confirmed and locked. I commend your patience in dealing with this user; UAK appears to be the origin for all reported accounts + one other. I elected to go for the maximum route because of the vandalism-only nature of contributing and credible connection to long term abuse on Wikimedia as you suggest indicate to me there is little point to escalating warnings, although reaching out to stewards@ by email for reasonable discourse is still an option. There is room for abusefilters to be tailored in this case but I honestly just don't have time or competence to do that right now: another Steward, GS or interested party is free to make suggestions/enact additional measures based on this. --Raidarr (talk) 15:59, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Drawutha

Status:  In progress
The original request was a private wiki created by Drawutha and Gool is not its requestor nor appears to have been a member. If Gool wishes to contribute to the original wiki then Drawuthia needs to be involved, or the wiki needs to be dropped and then the request can proceed as normal, or a new domain should be chosen - I'd lean this last one since Drawutha is an unusual name and it's odd that they'd overlap this way unless Gool knows the original requestor and can perhaps get in contact or elaborate here if there's a connection. If Gool does not know about this then it would be simpler to pick a different name. If we're going with a drop, I defer to a steward-sre colleague. --Raidarr (talk) 20:51, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Dear all, Gool speaking, I am sorry to create such confusion. I assume that I was requesting this request through a different account few months ago that I simply forgot about. My apologies. changing the name is absolutely possible if it is the easiest solution in our hands. Regards 2A01:E0A:AAF:B2B0:5DD5:72E:2960:28E3 21:29, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
So I take that as meaning that Drawutha was an old account of yours that you no longer have access to? Tali64³ (talk) 22:22, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
If Drawutha is an old account name there are two options: 1. recover the original account and post here at which point I can undelete the original wiki for you, or 2. change the database name so the request can be completed on the spot. It would be cleaner to restore the original account if you can, but that is up to you. --Raidarr (talk) 22:14, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Copyright Violation at bngyaanipediawiki

Over 500 pages on bngyaanipediawiki have been imported from the Bengali Wikipedia without proper attribution (the page history contains only the latest revision when the import was carried out and uses the wrong interwiki prefix) by a globally locked user. The wiki has other examples of improper attribution as well were the pages were manually copied over from BN Wikipedia. Furthermore, it appears that a number of copyrighted pages copied entirely from Banglapedia (the list can be found here), which were believed to have been cleaned up nearly two years ago by Steward request following a user report appear to have survived the purge (for example, these pages) as well. The last time a Steward (Dmehus) tried to contact the wiki bureaucrat who imported these pages, he received no response. I request you to delete the pages copied from Banglapedia and decide what to do for the rest where, at least in theory, the wiki could be given a chance to either go back and correctly import the pages or add attribution templates. Personally though, I do not see what purpose the wiki serves if almost all the pages (main page included!) are just copied over from external sites but ultimately, it is obviously your decision and I am just adding my two cents. Thank you. Redmin Contributions CentralAuth (talk) 23:38, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I leave the heavy hitting to Reception as he has already replied, but I have two notes. One: never delete groups without understanding the implications. In this case you deleted the system group that gives certain basic rights to all users. Done wrong this can do other things like confuse the system on what a user is or straight up remove your ability to administer the wiki were you to remove bureaucrat. Two, setting the wiki to private was already enough. Nobody except Stewards, Trust and Safety and SRE (technically) would be able to view the wiki outside of its main page except you and users you specifically assign to the Member group. --Raidarr (talk) 20:05, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

  • Reason(s): The Cargo extension allows you to manage structured data in your wiki and query that data to create dynamic representations: tables, timelines, maps, lists, and more. I find this utility very good for managing structured data and having a clear, coherent plan on the wiki. It will help with quick and planned data management for the admin, and also I plan to use another similar extension called Semantic MediaWiki but the wiki is enabling the Wikibase extensions, which Wikibase has a conflict with SMW that makes it impossible for me to enable the SMW extension, I will use the Cargo widget as an alternative to SMW. Please Miraheze help me enable this extension on my wiki. sincerely thank Bapham123 (talk) 12:33, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

@Artubass: Have you tried to contact Celeste first? I would recommend trying that and waiting a few days before requesting this. If it's also just for a specific page only that could potentially be unprotected temporarily rather than an appointment just for that. Reception123 (talk) (C) 11:20, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I have reached out to the wiki operator on discord, who publicly stated there an intention to make Artubass a sysop herself. She replied to direct message rather quickly to say she was still intending to do it, just had a snag with her account making the process slower but not impossible, and still intends to do it in the next few days.

SRuizR (talk) 03:31, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

SRuizR, can you link to your local community policy that permits this? Dmehus (talk) 03:48, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
The wiki is marked as private, so it may not be possible for SRuizR to directly link to the community policies of the wiki in a manner that is publicly accessible. They can certainly provide the relevant portion of the policy through other means, such as posting it verbatim in this thread, providing it through a screenshot, etc. However, the wiki governance and voting policy states that owners of personal wikis are solely responsible for managing them, which this wiki may be given its narrow scope as described in its request. Therefore, community policy may not be relevant here, and this request for removal can proceed regardless of whether local policy (if it exists) allows it. Tali64³ (talk) 04:02, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
That is true, yes, but it is still helpful, and a best practice, for requestors to link to their local policy for Stewards to assess. In terms of whether it is construed as a 'personal wiki', it's hard to say, but I would note we have quite a few community-run, non-personal private wikis. As co-drafter of that RfC that led to that wiki governance policy, or, rather, its predecessor, I intentionally made "personal wikis" narrowly construed, to ensure community consensus, or at least some form of involvement, applies to most wikis on Miraheze in keeping with the Miraheze ethos, or raison d'être. Hope that clarifies! :) Dmehus (talk) 04:06, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
The Rules page says "En caso de inactividad, el administrador o burócrata que concedió el acceso podrá retirarlo por motivos de seguridad. En caso de que esto ocurra, el usuario podrá solicitar al admininistrador que le vuelva a conceder el acceso y se concederá sin problema.". As I was the one to give her member, sysop and bureaucrat access, I can revoke it, but I prefer to leave removal of bureaucrat access to stewards. I don't know if this counts as a personal wiki, but I doubt it; me and Gauri decided to create it to work on some proposals for our home wiki, inviting other interested users from that wiki and working together to help improve management of conflicts there. As I mentioned it before, I am the only active user in this wiki since 2020, so there is nobody opposing the rules that I have implemented. If Gauri returns to the wiki, I will give back her bureacrat access; this removal is for security reasons.--SRuizR (talk) 04:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, that's great. Policies can be decided by one user, in the case of small wikis with small communities, so that should be fine. Dmehus (talk) 04:47, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
I supplement to say that this best practice, while not explicitly codified in wiki-side policy, does have strong affirmation in the MSCoC and is a generally held/recognized reasoning in many community circuits in and out of Miraheze. It is typical that an inactive operator is simply not entitled to powers if they have no means to use them and have been given ample chance to participate. Communities like this typically rarely ever have written out procedures for governance; I wish more of them did but I must operate with the typical absence in mind. In case of a private wiki discretion applies even more as it is often impractical to operate with the same standard of community idealism that more open wiki concepts are based on.

Free Editing Wiki

Status:  Done
  • Wiki: freeediting.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki (e, n, p, s) • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
  • Requesting: deletion
  • Discussion: https://freeediting.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:Tali64³ (archived link for convenience)
  • Reason(s): Around three months ago, a Steward had warned me that this wiki was violating the Content Policy, particularly provisions 4 and 10; afterward, I made some efforts to bring the wiki into compliance with the Content Policy. Apparently they were not enough, since I received another warning three weeks later that the wiki would be closed in a week unless I changed its scope to be compliant with the Content Policy. At the time, I only saw two options for the wiki if I left it open: 1) properly clean up the wiki's scope to be fully compliant with the Content Policy, which would effectively make the wiki a clone of the Randomness Wiki; 2) do nothing and have the wiki shut down in a week. At that point, being stuck on two hard decisions I had to make and it having a good chance of being closed no matter what I did, I chose option 3: close the wiki myself right there. For some time, I left the topic there and focused on other projects; then, the solution to the scope problem hit me. Why not create a wiki focused exclusively on nonsensical humor, as a counterpart to Decyclopedia? Instead of porting Free Editing Wiki's content to the new wiki, however, I decided to start from scratch, though there is a page on that wiki that originated from Free Editing Wiki. However, the new wiki faced a couple of issues, namely that it rules were vague and that there was no definition for "nonsensical humor". I have now fixed these issues, adding a definition for nonsensical humor and copying most of the revised ruleset from Free Editing Wiki's rules. Therefore, I am asking for the deletion of Free Editing Wiki in favor of the new wiki, which is The Wiki for Nonsense and Absurdity. Tali64³ (talk) 20:00, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

The Lion King Wiki

Status:  Not done
  • Reason(s): Hi, can we please have our exemption back for our The Lion King Wiki? We've added three substantial pages (excluding a temporary to-do-list) and several templates for these pages and for future pages. It is a private wiki meant to be read so it won't ever have any editors besides the three of us (Keznen). Keznen (talk) 01:00, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 Comment: While it's a private wiki, which may have a lower threshold for an exemption to Dormancy Policy, there also has to be a need. My personal view is that three additional pages do not justify that need, given that it only takes one user to make a log action or an edit every sixty (60) days to prevent the wiki from closing. Once it closes, you have a further four months around which to edit on the wiki or to re-open it. Note that RecentChanges activity does count towards to preventing deletion. Even when a wiki is deleted, it's merely hidden until SRE run the deletion script. Even then, Reception123 maintains XML dumps on one of SRE's servers, around which the wiki can be re-imported. To my knowledge, he has not deleted any of those XML dumps in the past few years. Dmehus (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
@Kenzen: I tend to agree with Dmehus's assessment on this. Exemptions depend on one of the following at least; a) a very substantial wiki, b) a very clear seasonal editing basis (ie something that only happens once a year or so which is outside the scope of when dormancy may fatally hit the wiki) or c) some very strong basis which falls outside these parameters but follows their vein. To be honest I don't find the case to be substantial and adding a couple pages does not make or break exemptions, especially when the page count right now is five short-to-moderate pages from what I can tell. I imagine the weak basis initially is why the exemption was removed. Unless you have a case why this can't happen I would suggest just making recurring small edits to keep the wiki alive or to flesh it out much more significantly. There isn't a minimum page count to aim for, more a general sense of completeness or, again, a strong basis for why dormancy should not apply and I don't see it in this case.
@Dmehus: Thank you for the input; I note that at least from what I see, private wiki XMLs are only held on for so long and are cleared periodically. If the drop was recent it's worth getting him to take a look but if it was say, last year from now, it reasonably would not be present. I don't know of any formal practice around this and it's not something to lean on ideally, but Reception can further clarify if there's more to it. --Raidarr (talk) 19:09, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

  • Reason(s): requires restricted approval
@Ruchirshah: could you elaborate on why you need this extension enabled? --Raidarr (talk) 14:26, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Sure. I’m trying to develop an open and collaborative story development tool, and would like to dynamically handle a subset of the pages as a developing knowledge base that can be queried and dynamically appended into the existing chapters based on Cargo queries. Can I check why there is a more stringent approach to Cargo here? I already have two active wikis on Miraheze with Cargo enabled and can’t see a security issue here?
 Cargo is enabled. Regarding stringency: Overall, the use of Cargo is a potential performance risk and there are rare cases where it must be reviewed by SRE and if issues come up, refused or later disabled, so manual input/scrutiny for extensions in this category is desired. Outside those cases ("smaller wikis" in general which wouldn't be a performance risk) it is generally desired to have on record a) the request and b) a concise summary of use case for logging, something we try to have for all requests on the SN and related areas like RfRW. I apologize for the bureaucracy, it would have been simpler to go ahead given you've had successful requests and there were no red flags and just asked for a use summary rather than making it two-step this way. --Raidarr (talk) 17:38, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Moving my wiki from Miraheze

My wiki is considering changing hosts. We don't yet have a specific host in mind, but I have a few questions about how moving the wiki would work.

Can I provide another host cPanel access with my wiki on Miraheze for cPanel to cPanel migration?

Do I have a FTP and SSH login on Miraheze that I can provide another host to move my wiki for me?

Do I have access to the XML file for my wiki's Chameleon skin customization?

Can I have a direct database dump that would allow another host to move my wiki's users?

I tried visiting this page https://obeymewiki.com/wiki/Extension:UserExport to export my users, but it seems to not exist on my wiki. Why is that? If at all possible, I'd like for my users to not have to create new accounts and passwords just because we moved hosts.

Clarasiir 14:38, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

"Can I provide another host cPanel access with my wiki on Miraheze for cPanel to cPanel migration?"
No. We don't use cPanel to begin with.
"Do I have a FTP and SSH login on Miraheze that I can provide another host to move my wiki for me?"
No.
"Do I have access to the XML file for my wiki's Chameleon skin customization?"
Probably? I don't know what you're talking about, someone else can probably answer that.
"Can I have a direct database dump that would allow another host to move my wiki's users?"
No.
"I tried visiting this page"
I think you're looking for mediawiki.org, that page doesn't exist on obeymewiki because that is an extension documentation page.
"If at all possible, I'd like for my users to not have to create new accounts and passwords just because we moved hosts"
Not possible. User accounts here are global via CentralAuth and not tied to a specific wiki, but also, we would never give anyone the accounts' password hash. OrangeStar (talk) 14:54, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
There is no cPanel here. You don't have FTP or SSH access here. The skin customisations export with the XML, (if not copy MediaWiki:Common.css page). There is no way to carry your users over to an outside server. To move your wiki, create a backup as described at Backups. Then ask the new host to import the XML and images. Probably you will also want to enable the same extensions on the new wiki as you have here.

Dormancy Exemption request (Clinithèque)

Greetings everyone. I'd like to ask for a Dormancy exemption on my wiki : Clinithèque, l'encyclopédie de séméiologie médicale en ligne.

This wiki is not meant to be frequently edited (though it can happen from time to time, when I'm updating its data), as it is meant to be an encyclopedy about physical examination designed for French physicians and medical students. I'm still working on it for the time being, but it may come a point where it wont be this updated anymore.

Thanks a lot for taking my request into consideration. Here is the link to the wiki :

  • CheckUser log
  • Reason(s): This is evident if you check Dark Witch Wiki's abuse log. All of these accounts have exhibited similar behavior of blanking pages, alongside most of them following a similar naming structure (name123). Additionally, once we blocked their accounts, they almost immediately made new accounts. I firmly believe I know the specific user doing this as they have also spammed the Wiki Discord server, too. And they also had similar names to these accounts. --Blad (t • c • g) 13:38, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Done, noting that a user with Moderator permissions on the wiki (GuardianofTanuki) was an exact match to multiple other accounts (including Yourfavoritehero192, Lightphoenix, Bloomedsunflower, and Alexjasper2006204883). Each of these as well were also likely matches to the Ill***cholesy*** that I've hidden for being username violations. -- Void Whispers 21:04, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Password disclosed account

Status:  Not done
  • From the topic on this wiki, this is most likely a joke. I am currently in the process of contacting the user in question. Set to status pending until answered.
FYI: Html123456 is a bureaucrat. --1108-Kiju/Talk 10:16, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
  •  Not done s/he replied that it was a joke. It seems to be a joke imitating LTA. Since the password is not actually disclosed, no locking shall be performed. I also report here that I asked him/her to not to post anything misleading. --1108-Kiju/Talk 09:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Status:  Not done

Please grant me bureaucrat permissions. As I cannot access my previous account (ManiacACS) for some reason, I need those permissions so I can continue to manage the wiki I founded back in 2019 under a new account. IngloriousBIG (talk) 21:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

HeavyTF2@ballsdexwiki

Status:  Done

I would like to be granted administrator permissions for the BallsDex wiki. The only administrator has not interacted with the wiki in over 180 days, and there are few, if any, active users on the wiki, therefore I believe a local election would be a waste of time & effort (correct me if I'm wrong, however). There have been multiple vandalizations on the wiki as a result of a lack of any bureaucrats/administrators, and the only non-vandalized page is months out of date due to an administrator lock. Thanks in advance. HeavyTF2 (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and do this, based on the current situation on the wiki, it makes sense to promote the only user with clearly constructive contributions. -- Void Whispers 23:02, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I request to remove my Sysop and Bureaucrat rights from Miraheze Commons. I wish to focus on other projects and am requesting this for the avoidance of doubt. Hispano76 (talk) 12:26, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Hispano76, given the current state of the farm and general lack of Steward availability, I think it is reasonable to allow Miraheze Commons bureaucrats to self-remove their own bit, so have  made this reasonable configuration change allowing you to remove your own bit. So this can be now be locally handled. :) Dmehus (talk) 04:39, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Pinging on reopen request (Dimension20)

So I had the unfortunate timing of originally making this request when stuff got... a little complex and busy at Miraheze. I don't know if folks have been around criticalrole.miraheze.org much, but I'm pretty proud of what we've accomplished there. I would like to give Dimension 20 a similar makeover. It's now a closed, abandoned tiny test wiki. Would love it if someone could make me a bureaucrat so I could get down to business (link to request) ByteBard (talk) 18:21, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
