Raising the priority will not make it get done any faster. SSL requests are backlogged right now, please be patient.

Please request deletion of wikis on Meta Wiki at the Stewards noticeboard.
Unfortunately I do not believe this would be possible because it is a BlueSpice extension, and Miraheze does not currently support BlueSpice. Someone else should confirm this though.

WMF extension, so should be good for install.
No response in 72 hours, thus assuming this issue is resolved. Please reopen this task if it is still an issue.

Conflicting extensions wouldn't be the issue, since ManageWiki will reject any changes that would result in two or more extensions clashing.
This might be Upstream but can probably still be looked into to be sure.

This is likely just a caching issue.. sometimes it can take MediaWiki a bit of time to fully process bulk actions. Please let us know if the issue does not resolve itself soon.
I'm able to view the files without issue. Media Viewer has been known to randomly show error messages sometimes if you go too quickly (this even happens on Wikipedia from time to time). My suggestion is to make sure the page where the file is displayed is fully loaded before attempting to open the image in Media Viewer. If you immediately click on the image thumbnail after opening a page, it can error like that.
The wiki is no longer accessible at the given URL due to this issue.

Unfortunately my RL is becoming exceptionally busy to the point that I don't think I'll have the time to actually finish this. Whoever ultimately picks this up, if you want any part of the code that I had partially developed, please contact me.
Unfortunately I'm going to withdraw this request at this time as my RL is becoming exceptionally busy to the point that I don't feel I would have adequate time to be an effective member of SRE. Should things change I may reconsider later on.

I'd consider this to be a high priority task because it's blocking the creation of a wiki dump which is arguably the most important/critical MediaWiki function on Miraheze right now. @MacFan4000 @Void
Changing a logo on a wiki is absolutely not an emergency especially with the current situation at Miraheze. Please stop changing the priority of this task.

Thank you for the clarification. Definitely some sort of bug/glitch in the software.
@Naggieka what do you mean by "fastdeleting" pages?

I'm working on this, though it'll take me a few days before I actually publish a PR (I'm developing code incrementally off-site).
Although I'm not SRE (yet), I'm going to boldly decline this. For starters, according to the documentation page, the latest version of this extension requires MediaWiki 1.40, which Miraheze may or may not be able to support due to the current shortages of technical volunteers. Secondly, it appears that the upstream developers are looking to merge the functionality of EasyTimeline into the Graph extension (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137291), which Miraheze already supports and will likely re-enable once upstream security issues are fixed. Finally, due to the aforementioned lack of technical volunteers right now, getting a security review of this extension would take a long time. This might be able to be revisited once Miraheze is running MediaWiki 1.40 though, since the upstream merger proposal has been open for several years with no concrete progress.

Going to boldly decline this as I just don't see the need for this on a global scale, and large portion of SRE is currently inactive. Individual wikis are free to do this if they wish, but I don't think there's any specific reason why it would be needed globally. IMO, the fewer global features the better, since it allows wikis to customize more. SRE, please reopen this task if you feel otherwise.
You can change the "background" of your wiki by going to Special:ManageWiki/settings, clicking on the "styling" tab and changing the first value to whatever background (called skins) you desire.
This extension is not being actively maintained upstream (the latest stable version is from 2014, with the last human update to the code being 2 years ago). Therefore, we unfortunately cannot install this extension.

I'd assume that this would go in here https://github.com/miraheze/CreateWiki/blob/1f993cc82cc9b1649d195ac614e962bc19f1add7/includes/RequestWiki/SpecialRequestWiki.php
For the record, the globally banned user in question was my late sister, who unleashed a spambot attack against Miraheze on more than one occasion after being banned. Because we were living together at the time, it was next to impossible to distinguish us from each other in terms of technical data/CheckUser. But I was completely uninvolved and took no part in encouraging her disruptive actions. I'd also appreciate it if this wasn't discussed further at this time.

Please request deletion of wikis at the Stewards Noticeboard on Meta Wiki.
As Reception123 is on wiki break (link), I don't think my application can be processed unless someone else is qualified to do it.

This task seems to have gotten lost because it was created as low priority and without tags. Definitely a MW bug of some sort.
Jun 6 2023
Wiki is completely inaccessible.

The extension documentation states that it is compatible with MediaWiki 1.39, so I think it would work on Miraheze. However, the last manual update to the code was 5 months ago, so I would caution to make sure that the developers/authors are indeed actively maintaining this upstream especially with MW 1.40 coming up soon. The code itself will also need a security review.
Unfortunately due to IRL circumstances I don't currently have the time to build or maintain the wiki, so I'm not going to go through with any major changes right now.
May 27 2023
I would double check to make sure that you don't have any instances of {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{BASEPAGENAME}} anywhere on any of the affected pages. Assuming not, this is definitely some sort of glitch in MediaWiki.
The extension documentation page contains a warning that states:

A steward will likely need to manually assign you the role, unless you are in another user group that has managewiki permissions. Also, please stop changing the priority of this task.

Please request this on Meta Wiki at the Stewards Noticeboard.

Can confirm this is happening. Triaging as high priority as this makes the wiki inaccessible for anyone who doesn't have URLs to specific pages on the wiki.
Unfortunately because user accounts are global, it isn't possible to require accounts be confirmed on just one local wiki (since this confirmation requirement would be circumvented quite easily by simply creating an account on a different wiki and then navigating to your wiki). The functionality you want is possible in MediaWiki (see this page for more details), but this functionality is not currently possible on Miraheze.

Can someone else please confirm that ManageWiki backups aren't restorable? Not that I don't trust you, but it seems like a major bug that should be addressed.
Extensions that are custom-written for Fandom/Wikia, without independent upstream maintenance and documentation, are automatically declined. Fandom/Wikia is running a unique heavily customized version of MediaWiki and therefore most of their features that aren't also maintained upstream will not work on Miraheze.
If ManageWiki backups aren't restorable, that kind of defeats the purpose of having them, doesn't it? Why is this a feature in DataDump if it doesn't work?
