Requests for Comment

• A RfC on the Miraheze Communities Wiki voted on a new wiki logo. This is a part of Harej's effort to make the Communities Wiki an official Miraheze project.

• A meeting between the Board of Directors approved an increase to the budget to $21,000 USD to cover increased costs of SSDs, which recently saw price surges due to AI datacenter expansions.
• The $wgMFRemovableClasses variable is configurable on ManageWiki. It controls the classes removed by the MobileFrontend extension, so wikis can now prevent MobileFrontend from removing navboxes on mobile. (work of PixDeVl and Skye)
• The $wgVectorNightMode and $wgMinervaNightMode variables are configurable on ManageWiki. They allow anonymous users to use the dark mode of Vector 2022 as well. (work of TheWWRNerdGuy and Skye)
• The Bucket extension, originally written for Weird Gloop wikis, has been added to Miraheze. A dedicated Bucket Wiki is created to host bucket-related information, such as two Lua modules to simplify storing data into and querying data from Bucket. (work of TheWWRNerdGuy and PetraMagna)

PixDeVl (he/him), a Miraheze volunteer who serves as an Assistant Steward and a beta mentee of the Technology Team, is our Mirahezean of the Month.

A Minecraft nerd, PixDeVl originally began wiki contributing sporadically on a FANDOM-hosted Minecraft wiki. He would first register a Miraheze account in early 2023 to contribute to the creation of a new Minecraft-adjacent topic wiki, despite his own preference [at the time] to create it on FANDOM. He continued to be involved on both platforms, moving from a writing role to primarily an administrative and staffing one, enjoying his time contributing to various different projects, and getting to know and work with the incredible wiki editors and fellow nerds.

On the Miraheze side, his volunteer journey started with answering inquiries on Discord and staring at RecentChanges. As he grew more involved throughout the WikiTide fork and merger, he was elected Wiki Reviewer in April 2024, Global Administrator in July, and Meta Administrator in September. In February 2026, he became Miraheze’s first Assistant Steward. In March, he requested beta access to Miraheze servers, deepening his previous sporadic involvement in the technology team.

Pix spends his average wiki day hanging around the Steward Requests pages, clicking buttons, yapping with other community members and possibly working on pushing forward his hyper-fixation idea of the week.

Finally, PixDeVl would like to express his gratitude for this precious opportunity to reflect on his Miraheze journey. Furthermore, this reflection rekindled his love of the FANDOM platform, and he is pleased to announce his return to FANDOM to commemorate this special occasion of April the 1st.

For this month's tech tips, we feature PixDeVl's excellent essay about making technical contributions to Miraheze's MediaWiki install. If you are curious about the workings of MediaWiki and would like to help the Technology Team handle simple requests, give it a read.

A featured gadget this month is Dynamic Categories, which recreates FANDOM's gallery grid view for pages in a category. It was originally written by Canadabonk and underwent revisions by PetraMagna after BlankEclair discovered security vulnerabilities in the gadget.

Miraheze is run by volunteers who started as editors just like you. If you would like to help your wiki host, we have a recently revised page about contributing to Miraheze.

For example, our Counter Vandalism Team is always in need of help. You can catch vandals by monitoring our various CVT feeds and reporting problematic edits to the appropriate channels.

Wiki reviewing often has a backlog of multiple days and is also in need of help. To begin, you can ask other wiki reviewers to do practice wiki reviewing requests on Discord or Meta.

Perhaps neither of these interest you? We've got more in the article. And if all of that seems too daunting, working with a local wiki community also helps Miraheze.

• The Official Forsaken Wiki was created in November 2024. The wiki underwent active development and was officially announced on the 17th of January 2026. It's supported and endorsed by the game's developers, and uses the recently-added RenderBlocking extension to extensively customize the wiki's Vector 2010 skin. An in-house JavaScript gadgets displays 3D models on the wiki.
• The Anime Vanguards Wiki covers the Roblox tower defense game Anime Vanguards. It moved to Miraheze in March 2026 and uses a customized version of the Vector 2022 skin.
