A problem over at Great Characters Wiki

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)

Renaming Problem
Hello. This is my backup account that I'm temporarily using. So the renaming process from ZapperGlaze49 to TheChisatoFan got stuck at receptionflamewars.miraheze.org and it has been like that for a few hours already. Can you please help me fix this problem? Thank you. KatFan55 (talk) 12:24, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this error, I have now ✅ it and you should be able to log into your original account now. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:28, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Question
The Question is, is it possible for a steward to be impeached, and if the steward is impeached, then the steward loses their power.

-RoboticJeffy
 * Yes, it is possible for a steward to be removed ("impeached" as you say). The rules for the removal of a Steward can be found here. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:18, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism by administrator
Users Lipomir and Bloodia have committed vandalism and erasure on several pages within the Atlas collaborative wiki, on which they are administrators. This particular wiki is a collaboration between a few groups. Although these deletions initially targeted the moderation team for our group, after moderation action, the users have started deleting all pages by our users on the wiki, and removing the members of our group from the wiki. This was done without warning and without the permission of anyone involved but the aforementioned administrators, in what we consider a severe breach of the Miraheze code of conduct. If there is any way that we can have these deletions restored, the dormant status removed and their admin privileges revoked, that would be greatly appreciated.

One of our users, Gorbatov was an administrator and retained their privileges, so we managed to save through various caches and administrative actions our work, but we would still like, if possible, the deleted content to be restored and the users who committed the erasures to have their administrative privileges on our wiki removed.

Thank you very much, Valdiu

 * I have revoked permissions of Lipomir, Bloodia, and Szprot for abusing their permissions, and blocked (locally, at least for now) them because of their vandalism. Local administrators can undelete the pages (as well as Stewards) to fix it. I will start undeleting the pages that were deleted yesterday.-- 09:52, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Can I be a bureaucrat on a wiki where there are no active administrators and bureaucrats?
Currently Kjh010206, the only bureaucrat on 자유반달위키 was globally locked, and other administrators don't edit after 2016. The wiki doesn't seems to be moderated.

Also, on 리센티아 위키, Suneungsiheom, the only administrator on 리센티아 위키 stated that the wiki is discontinued and blocked themselves. Most of contributions on that wiki are just vandalism, like this.

Therefore I want to start managing the wiki instead. Please consider granting the bureaucrat permission on those wikis. Thank you. - P1av0rSe01Complaint? 00:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Could you bring a community vote/decision? If the wiki is not eligible for adoption, that is the only way to gain permissions.-- 15:07, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Wiki not setup properly
Hi there!

I've just had a wiki setup for me, but received a message from The Pioneer about some technical difficulties:

"Hi, I have created your wiki per request, but it looks like the permissions weren't transferred successfully due to technical errors. Please visit the wiki to create a local account there, and file a request on stewards' noticeboard so that we can fix it. Sorry for your inconvenience.--開拓者 (The Pioneer)"

When I visited the wiki, I got a 404 page, and couldn't see a way to create a local account. Can I get some assistance please?

The wiki is here: https://formaskevent.miraheze.org/wiki/

Thank you so much!
 * I had a typo to the link, the correct URL is: https://foxmaskevent.miraheze.org/wiki/ . You can visit there, and then I can set up your permissions manually.-- 05:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi again! I've just edited the main page. Will that be enough for you to fix the permissions with? (Oatsfear)
 * Yep, and now it's ✅ :)-- 06:33, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Permission transfer
Hi, I have created your wiki per request, but it looks like the permissions weren't transferred successfully due to technical errors. Please visit the wiki to create a local account there, and file a request on stewards' noticeboard so that we can fix it. Sorry for your inconvenience.--開拓者 (The Pioneer) (talk/contribs | global🌎) 05:04, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Please transfer permissions as necessary to Sallyno for davshiq.miraheze.org (this should also be a private wiki, please).

Thank you for your assistance!

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)

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.
