Comments And Replies Just Randomly Appear Anywhere.
It's really annoying when they jus disperse to somewhere I wasn't intending. I wanna reply to someone or make a comment, but this stupid wiki just thinks Whatever, this is gonna go somewhere completely irrelevent this is referring to. Can someone fix this stupid bug? please?

Giving gifts dosent work
I keep trying to give gifts, but when i choose the user from my friend list, it says “whoops, you took a wrong turn. The link you have entered is invalid. I don’t know if it is something i am doing, or something Octavio (talk) 18:26, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Oh ok thanks for explaning Octavio (talk) 18:32, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Why video game mods like Fallout: The Frontier or Half-Life: Before deserve to be removed, despite the four remaining mods in this wiki, didn't get treated the same treatment?
Like why in the world, these mods like Fallout: The Frontier or Half-Life: Before are unnecessary removed here? As I didn't see this change when I was taking a break exactly two weeks and a day ago. If this is a new rule established here, then it technically failed, as they're probably a few fanmade video game/mod pages like Hunt Down the Freeman and Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Lady Jedi still exist, and they didn't get booted it out. Since a quarter of my edits and my only image for the former deleted page are gone, and this pisses me off, somewhat. CTG (talk) 02:08, 26 October 2021 (UTC)


 * This is an indication that a few pages fell through the cracks and should also be removed for consistency. Mods are (logically, I'll let the admins justify their own policy here) not really possible to get a proper reception for, although certain exceptions could be made for high profile cases. But you'd have to check with a leading admin to confirm on that. --Raidarr (talk) 08:10, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Fan games are still allowed, unless they're extremely obscure, while mods are forbidden, as they aren't full games. Hunt Down the Freeman is a fan game, so this page can stay here, while the Star Wars one is just a mod, so it's going to be removed right now. —A llistayrian (💬) 09:28, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hunt Down the Freeman is literally payable Half-Life (or Half-Life 2) mod that uses (or very lazily and illegally using) other HL2 mods' assets (either small or big size per scale of these mods) that work in the Source 1 engine (which this "full game" use), and spinning it as a "full game", even through is obliviously unfinished won't either deserve to treat as such, regardless what the so-called "creative director" describing his disaster payable mod as a "full game". Well unlike mh:awesomegames:Black Mesa, another fanmade HL game for an example, where they have very good talented modders (which are real fans of that series, unlike HDTH's "creative director" who is possibly a self-proclaimed fan) who create (or recreate and reworked) original assets when remaking/reimagining Half-Life who took sweat, might, and afford of years of finishing this, which they pay it off from last year, as their mod can be considered in my opinion, a real definition of a very good payable mod or a 'full game'. While as mentioned Half-Life: Before and could've been Fallout: The Frontier are also released in the mh:awesomegames:Steam store, but as free mods, while the latter could be technically considered a 'full game', given that mod has most DLC-like content size, describe by their series' fans.

Reply bug
There's a bug on Miraheze. If the last comment is a reply, then making a new comment would have that same reply, thus creating a reply that's older than the comment itself. I know it's Miraheze that caused the bug, but still. LucianoTheWindowsFan (talk) 19:54, 26 November 2021 (UTC)


 * We noticed it earlier. Unfortunately, we can't help it. It's the fault of the Miraheze update messing up the comments section. Allistayrian (💬) 20:13, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Auserwithstyle…
This user created a page on Loathsome Characters Wiki titled mh:loathsomecharacters:REDFGIN that consists solely of "reception wikis suck". Considering the fact that this same user tried to add these wikis to Rotten Websites Wiki and was blocked for vandalism on Amazing YouTubers Wiki, this user might not be here to build a network of wikis. I would like for someone to look into this to determine if this user is or isn't here to contribute positively. —— <font style="color:#FF0000">Marxo <font style="color:#1F51FF">Grouch (talk page) (my work) 21:37, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Can you fix a problem that i have with the userpages?
When i want to edit someone's sandbox page or even my own userpage or sandbox, the edit option isn't available, and when i click the "view source" option, a message saying "You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: You do not have permission to edit pages in the User namespace" appears on screen. The strange thing is that nobody messed up my privileges and this happened one or two days after i published my last article (The Global Ops one). Can you please help me fix this?

Can I get a custom nickname?
I'm very curious about these custom nicknames, for example Allistayrian, AlvaroNovaes-BR, Kringe. How do I get a custom nickname like one of these? Upperdecker2562 (talk) 09:31, 7 October 2021 (UTC)


 * This can be changed at MediaWiki's common.css. Check out the script of custom nickname managment and give us details about your one. —A llistayrian (💬) 10:14, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not see my name there. Also, I can't edit it. Upperdecker2562 (talk) 10:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Because it's not added yet. I'm aware that you can't edit this, that's why I'm asking about the font, color, etc. —A llistayrian (💬) 13:00, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Font: Ubuntu/Ubuntu Condensed (make your choice)
 * Font weight: Bold Upperdecker2562 (talk) 13:27, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Galaxy Star already did it, and your promised custom nickname skin works (here only you cannot add a custom nickname, that's why you have the default name). We can solve this topic. —A llistayrian (💬) 14:27, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Combine pages, archives & promote Allistayrian
Firstly, I suggest combining Crappy Games Wiki:Complaint box with this page. While 'complaint box' is admittedly more snazzy, this page has the wider scope and combining the two would avoid what I believe to be a clear overlap in the function of these pages.

Secondly, it is customary for completed and old sections to be moved to their own archive page on Miraheze Meta, where this system was pulled from. I think that would be a good idea to keep this page clean here. I defer pushing on this one until the above on the Complaint box is settled, in which case the first archive would have sections from both.

Thirdly, yes, I know I have to explain this one. Simply put, Allistayrian is too much of a power player on the game wikis to be a 'mere' administrator. Anyone who can simply 'make a new admin' is already exercising leadership. I would also say Allistayrian is the most influential point of contact and while nobody is perfect, probably the most competent single administrator to find. Therefore, I believe Allistayrian should become a local bureaucrat both on this wiki and on AGW. This would not be a network position, which has already been refused, but a strictly local one, in the same capacity I'm currently in on Delightful Music and Songs Wiki. In time the difference should be made more formal, and eventually I intend to propose something that will make it so - a 'network sysop' and/or 'network manager' title that clearly identifies leaders and their deputies. In this way Allistayrian will retain local autonomy and be able to fully use the scope of their authority. --Raidarr (talk) 08:26, 26 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I thought Allistayrian stepped down from the bureaucrat role because of how stressful it was for him. <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,crimson,indigo, #ADD8E6); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Marxo Grouch (talk) 13:15, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry to say, but I would not accept the offer to become a bureaucrat again. I was very tired of managing this wiki with this role, and by the way, I did not use the bureaucratic powers very often. Even as I am now a regular admin, I have also been feeling tired for a while, although it's still good to be an admin, but the main reason for this state of affairs is my addiction to these wikis, which made my mental state worse. Even if I plan to take a break for at least a day or two, I just can't tear myself away for at least a few hours to see what's going on on wikis. Today's day shows perfectly well that I am not in a good mood. —A llistayrian (💬) 21:13, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
