A problem over at Great Characters Wiki
https://greatcharacterswiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Topic:V5se88lch6zd42he

Angrybirdsfan2005: It appears that someone can't write a blog due to a problem.

Vandal
There's a user called "MrPissShitHead Did Nothing wrong just like Hitler" vandalizing. Please lock his/her account ASAP. --Seewater514 (talk)

Now there's another user called "IHateIAmEiji" vandalizing. Please also lock his/her account ASAP. --Seewater514 (talk)

Now there's a third vandal called "IHateShitters (Rev 1)". Please lock that user's account as well. --Seewater514 (talk)

Ban this user TheFunnyVandalizer on Awful Movies Wiki
Reason: Vandal ruffian

I don't understand why my request for a wiki was denied.
I requested a wiki, and I got a notice. I can't read the whole notice because it's cut off and when I try to visit the location of the notice it says there is "no special page". It says it was denied because "Forking the existing wiki (for possible block evasion)." However, I never got blocked on such a wiki and that wiki does not exist, to my knowledge. Here's proof: https://toxicfandomusers.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze

I may have confused whoever handled my request, so I will clarify. My friends wanted me to write an article about a very bad user on this wiki, but I can't because it's about bad fandoms, not bad users. I was never blocked on a Miraheze wiki and I just want to write an article for my friends that I can't do unless I get the wiki I requested. So, may I please get it eventually?

Right now I feel like my request was handled poorly, and please correct me if I am wrong. WickyHoney (talk) 05:46, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit: I found out that by clicking on "Visit request" on my notice directed me to "Special:Special:RequestWikiQueue/10562" instead of "Special:RequestWikiQueue/10562". I have now edited the request to clarify some things. WickyHoney (talk) 05:58, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit: The situation has been resolved, and I am sorry to have sounded impolite during newer messages. WickyHoney (talk) 04:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Banned Fffff on Loathsome Characters Wiki
Reason: Vandalism, troll ruffian

Signed by - Stephenfisher2001
 * Has been blocked indefinitely on the local wiki. As CVT I have chosen not to lock globally at this time, since there is only vandalism on the specific wiki. Stewards may take any other measures as they see fit. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 19:08, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism on 리센티아 위키
리센티아 위키 was recently vandalized by some users and the administrator on there is inactive. As there are no active administrators on that wiki, I think these should be handled by stewards. Thank you. - P1av0rSe01Complaint? 08:14, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Please lock these users as they vandalized that wiki by creating nonsense/gibberish pages and mimicking a vandal on Japanese Wikipedia:
 * 갓짤의왕 (talk | contributions | CentralAuth)
 * 혐짤의왕 (talk | contributions | CentralAuth)
 * Please delete these pages. Since there is no template for deletion requests on that wiki, I manually wrote the reason on each page:
 * 2020 로컬 저장소 투표
 * ?時削除‎
 * 즉시삭제
 * File:리카르도 잡다.png
 * Template:노잼
 * Template:반달금지
 * Template:신
 * Template:최강의 즉삭
 * ✅. Could you tell me if this Japanese vandal on Wikipedia is known in Korean wiki communities? I suspect that this might be done by someone pretending to be a Korean. - 15:51, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Such type of vandalism is known in some wiki-related communities and some trolls vandalize wikis in that type, but not often.
 * By the way, another vandal that uses same type appeared on that wiki. See the section below. - PlavorSeol (T | C) 09:21, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

I cannot make a topic on the discussion and my old account is broken
If you could help me, i need help trying to make a discussion back at Atrocious YouTubers Wiki. Also, my other account (which i tried renaming) won´t work when i try to login, when i try to log in, it says its either in the process of being named or its being transformed, however, it is not in the process of being named as it is already done being transformed to the new name, if you could please get rid of this problem, i would be grateful.

 * I've already pinged Reception123 about the issue, but it looks like it remains unsolved. I've created a phab ticket for this issue.-- 14:23, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Please help set up the wiki
I wanted to ask for help. I need to add protection levels (bureaucrat, consul) for my wiki. How can I do that?Q-bit (talk) 13:45, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You can set it from Special:ManageWiki/namespaces by allowing users with specific rights to edit the namespaces, or use the AbuseFilter to block edits of admins on targeted pages.-- 14:29, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Okay, but how do I make sure that the page can be protected? Where we click on the right (Protection>edit admins only). Q-bit (talk) 10:32, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think there's a way for this, which is why I recommend you use the abusefilter as an alternative.-- 13:14, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Well. If you can help me set up the filter, I don't know much about them. The wiki site.

Global block request for 119.201.63.0/24
This user vandalized 리센티아 위키 just as vandals related to the section above did. It is clear that it is a sockpuppet of them, and since 119.201.63.75 was globally blocked before, please globally block 119.201.63.0/24 at this time. - PlavorSeol (T | C) 09:21, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Pages Have "Too Many Edits" To Be Deleted?
The staff on All The Tropes have run into a small number of pages which, when we try to delete them, result in the following error message: You do not have permission to delete this page, for the following reason: This page has a large edit history, over 250 revisions. Deletion of such pages has been restricted to prevent accidental disruption of All The Tropes. None of the ATT admins recalls implementing such a restriction, and we don't know where this restriction would be. Can someone please clue us in on where it is and who can change it? Failing that, are these pages something the stewards can delete for us, or is there an issue here that requires a Phabricator ticket? Thank you. --Looney Toons (talk) 22:48, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * mw:Manual:$wgDeleteRevisionsLimit, https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/blob/master/LocalSettings.php#L440-L442 - PlavorSeol (T | C) 07:00, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the research! But this suggests it will require Phabricator to undo.
 * PS - I don't like this restriction, especially as the default. Admins can undelete any page they delete in error.  If deletion is "disruptive," then your problem is not with deletion but with your Admins!  11:48 16-Feb-2020
 * This isn’t a social issue, rather a technical issue caused implementation. Stewards are able to delete these pages on request. A Phabricator ticket isn’t necessary. John (talk) 13:14, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information. Should we wait for the fallout from this weekend's attempted changes and subsequent rollback to settle before making such a request?  Also, I've been informed that we have a number of images that are similarly resistant to deletion, reporting errors like this ones:

Error deleting file: Rayman small 3678.jpg Error deleting file: An unknown error occurred in storage backend "local-backend".
 * Should I include these in the deletion request, or would this be a Phabricator-level issue?
 * Thank you. --Looney Toons (talk) 20:39, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Help. I need desperate help
On Amazing YouTubers Wiki, I gave a user named Landscape the confirmed user right so that he can edit. Somehow, he managed to give himself the bureaucrat role and took away all of our adminships so now we can't stop him. Please block him right away and fix the wiki. PLEASE! It's for our own good.

Thank u, next, Eiji (talk) 19:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I’ve paged people to help. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  19:04, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Void should be looking into it. Just to note, the user was able to do that because of the action taken by you at 19:58, 4 December 2019 when you allowed confirmed users to add administrators and bureaucrats via ManageWiki/permissions. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 19:08, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
