==A humble request to add more user groups with slightly stricter requirements.==
A few examples would be manually confirmed before administrator.

==Abuse filters==
Hi,

I'm just letting you know that I've created two anti-vandalism abuse filters to prevent nonsense such as [[Special:Contributions/45.33.143.7|this]]. Feel free to tweak them if need be. Most of the code is from the English Wikipedia. [[User:Pillowfluffyhead|Pillowfluffyhead]] ([[User talk:Pillowfluffyhead|talk]]) 14:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

==Avoid excessive use of hideuser==
Dear MacFan4000,

I have been on this wiki for a while and have seen hideuser used a lot on blocks. Unless there is a need, could you please unhide the blocks that were hideusered and make a policy which says hideuser is not to be used excessively. This is in the interests of maximum community transparency/accountability. Thank you for your cooperation

Hi, I've just seen that You removed intadmin permissions from all accounts except Stewards. Was it done because of security reasons? [[User:Neonek12|Neonek12]] ([[User talk:Neonek12|talk]]) 20:16, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

==Glitches==
Hello, I noticed some glitches you may want to have a look at. One is that if I look at someone's contributions like [[Special:Contributions/Example]], I get an error "Namespaces with negative values are not supported" tho I can still see contributions when using the dropdown menu for search by namespace, even if I invert selection to search for all but one. Another glitch is that I can't see the difference between revisions when I click the cur or prev button when looking at history, instead I just see a blank page, and IDK how to patrol the edits if that doesn't work. Also patrol button is missing right now for the new page [[Main_Page/zh-tw]]. Anyway could be the software update, or else I messed something up in my preferences, thought you should know.

==CU Request==
I am requesting CU as I have reason to believe that user [[User:JJPMaster|JJPMaster]] is a sock of [[User:WEWILLNOTMOVETOARIZONA]]. He is confrontational (see my talk, he referred to my adding a script as "idea theft"), and requested permissions here, and as soon as he got them requested permissions on Miraheze Test Wiki. He also requested a wiki on Meta on Miraheze right after that. Hope you'll look into this. Thanks!

==Requests for steward assistance==
When you have time I'd appreciate it if you could assist with the issues below.

'''Requests for CheckUser'''
*A full conversation is at [[User talk:A#Question]], but I believe there is sufficient evidence to warrant a check on [[User:ᗡ]].
*A number of linked spambots, as can be seen on [[Special:AbuseLog]], are attempting to post similar junk about jerseys. May be worth checking to see if a rangeblock on the underlying IPs is possible without causing too much collateral damage.

'''Edit requests'''
*[[Test Wiki:Privacy policy]] can only be edited by stewards and needs [[Template:Policy]] transcluded to categorize correctly.
*[[Main Page]] has a stray comma that should be removed; says "Test Wiki, is a place" should just be "Test Wiki is a place" admittedly a minor error, but worth fixing.

Thanks for your help. Best, [[User:Fast|Fast - ZoomZoom]] ([[User talk:Fast|talk]]) 23:24, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
:*There is no correlation to other accounts for either user.
:*{{ping|Void}} is better at Range blocks then I am. He would be the user to ask.
