Concerning image uploads[edit source]

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution to the wiki. Apologies for the delay in accepting it, both of us mods were away for some time. I'm just letting you know that, per Miraheze, there's an issue on the current version of MediaWiki which disallows image uploading (and prevents displaying files, too). Your uploaded images are in the system, but currently awaiting moderation; as soon as the error is resolved, I'll approve them. Dissentrix (talk) 21:42, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Re: Image Replacement Policy[edit source]

Hi, responding here since I'm not sure you get a notification if I do it in the original topic, but after discussing it with the other mod, I've come to the conclusion your suggestion sounds interesting, and completely harmless; if you want to try implementing it, feel free. If it works well, I'll probably add some details on the main page for other users' sake. Dissentrix (talk) 12:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again for the help, but unfortunately I have overestimated my wiki abilities as I do not know how to tag file pages. Implementing {{Delete}} onto the page's body only creates a "template". It will signal the moderators, but this is probably not what the forum post was implying. I hope the revision summary would suffice. MesMerZ (talk) 08:09, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Thanks anyway, that'll work for the moment. Dissentrix (talk) 12:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Would you be interested in helping moderate the wiki?[edit source]

Hi, after discussion, since you seem invested and to grasp the rules fairly well, we've decided to ask you whether you'd be interested in moderating Mental Block.

You wouldn't have to do much, simply check on the Moderation page from time to time to help filter bad edits. Your own edits would also be auto-moderated, so you wouldn't need to approve them.

Up to you, of course; we'd understand if you don't want to. If you are interested (and even if you aren't, honestly), please do take a look at the recently-rewritten rules of the site so you're clear on what to do.

Cheers! Dissentrix (talk) 22:23, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

I will accept the offer, but I will warn you this will be my first time doing moderation for any website. The only condition I have is that I will primarily check for bad edits due to my inexperience using Miraheze (I will continue to ask for advice on your talk page). Thanks for the consideration.
p.s. Mandrill5.png has been deleted from the site, so the main page's slideshow has a blank entry. Be sure to replace that spot with its replacement (AvengersEMH-s1ep08-05.jpg). MesMerZ (talk) 06:51, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
All right, no worries - truth be told, this is the first time I've moderated anything myself. For the moment, it's really not that complicated given the low amount of users currently.
I've added you into the "moderator" group. You may now, among other new things:
-Block users from editing and sending mails;
-View, create and modify abuse filters;
-Access and use the special Moderation page;
-Mark edits as patrolled;
-Delete pages.
I've also added you to the list of mods that users may contact, on both the main page and the Rules page.
Concerning Mandrill5.png, it looks like you already replaced it yourself, no?
Thanks! Dissentrix (talk) 14:25, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Buildpu's images[edit source]

Hi there,

Since you approved Buildpu's test image (I asked him to upload it), are you able to approve the ones currently queued in Moderation? Cheers. Dissentrix (talk) 18:09, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

To be honest, I only approve Buildpu's images if they don't display the "File not found" error. They had this issue for months, but I found out this error goes away after about a week. I'll approve the rest of the erroneous images. MesMerZ (talk) 00:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
It turns out I can't approve the images either. I'm getting the same message that was mentioned on Buildpu's talk page. I tried approving the images from the Moderation page as well as the revision preview page, but I got the same error. MesMerZ (talk) 01:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your insight. In that case, I'll wait a week to try to approve them again. Dissentrix (talk) 21:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I tried to post one moments ago, and there were no problems accepting it. I wonder if it had something to do with the quantity of images, since when I posted them one at a time, there were no problems. Can I do a new test and resend a batch of six? It's in JPG Format (talk)

Well, your batch was successfully approved; not sure why it worked this time. I also rejected the older file still in moderation, which was failing to upload. Dissentrix (talk) 21:44, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
