Blocked on Avatar Wiki
Hi, I'm the 888th Avatar from Avatar Wiki. For some reason, my IP has been blocked. There are a few problems with this: I hope you can rectify this problem. 888th Avatar - Talk - Contributions 10:10, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I am the sixth greatest editor on the wiki, and have created many pages, and have made over a thousand quality edits. Ask any user on Avatar Wiki.
 * The IP address that is apparently mine (58.109.79.130) is not, unless I am greatly mistaken, mine. My IP should be 192.168.1.4.
 * The user who apparently had the same IP address as I was Azulalove, who was blocked. Me and Azulalove are clearly different people.

Dewback Wing Wiki Template Error
Hello, I sent in an email on a template I was having trouble with, and you were kind enough to fix it for me. I want to say thank you for the help and if you could fix it again, as all the text is white and you cannot read anything in the template. You said that you copied the CSS file over and I am additionally curious if I can edit it directly or not? The template is Template:Droid Infobox and on a page where I have the template, Lucky, towards the bottom of the page, you can see the error.

If you can add it to my user talk page located at Compile It will be a great help to me.

Again, thank you for your help.

OggHandler extension on RuneScape Wiki
The OggHandler extension does not work in RuneScape Wiki. When played, there is a blank screen. After a while, there is an error message displayed on the player.

I checked the versions, and the one installed in our wiki (r36977) is different from the one in MediaWiki (r42275). Is there a way to "upgrade" the extension to the newer version?

I believe that upgrading the extension would solve the "blank screen" problem. Az 12:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would solve it, and based on the other emails we've gotten on this issue, the technical team is aware of this and is looking into upgrading the required code/programs. --Uberfuzzy 21:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Spammer/Vandal in the Super Friends Wiki

Checkuser
Hi, Uberfuzzy. I request a Checkuser to check if  and  share the same IP address, due to a complain of all three being blocked by this block.

Another question
Hi, it's me again. This time I made some research, but I didn't find anything. I'm looking for the page where this is located:

Could you come to Userpedia please, a vandal is making hundreds of pages with titles that insult sysops and contain nothing but panda pictures. Uberfuzzy is a pirate goomba 21:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser
Could you please use checkuser on Vadal12345the3rd, Vadal12345the2nd and Vadal12345? In case it's not a proxy, could you please put a wiki wide block on him? I believe he creates an account in a wiki that's not the one he vandalizes (Avatar Wiki), so blocking IP's there has no effect on him, check using both "Vadal" and "Vandal", he's used with and without the N, though I don't remember in which account. On a related note, can admins or bureaucrats prevent accounts from being opened through proxies? If so how? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Spam blacklist
If that edit was directed at me, I already have blocked them locally, they just get new domains, does this mean there's nothing we can do to prevent them? -- Sixorish 23:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Not at all, was more a reminder to everyone that it is possible to block things at the wiki level rather then add them at the global wikia-wide scale. --Uberfuzzy 23:43, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

RecentChanges?limit=50
Ok, I found the bug, and it's a real beauty.

So what happens? $opts->add( 'limit' ...) initialized the limit with a default of presumably 50, but the value is set to null at this time. The value is set from prefs in line 54. Then fetchValuesFromRequest does not set the value from the URL if it is equal to the default, so if it is 50, the 50 never gets set.

It's a really nice wtf, because what do you have to lose by setting the value if it is the default? Is this such an expensive operation that it is worth it adding a condition that runs on all of the options to avoid it? Just deleting the "$value !== $default" condition and setting the default value if it is given seems the smart thing to do, even if it means that the option gets set with a value it already has in some circumstances. --◄mendel► 09:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Help Please?
Hi, my name is Jakko123. I am a bureaucrat on Blue Balliett Books Wiki. I was working on the community portal, trying to make a template. It continued all the way down, but I think it looks nice that way.

Infobox problem
I'm helping out with another wiki for a community I go to. I was involved in another wiki project (you might remember me) anyways, I put an infobox on a page and instead of it displaying it gives an Template:Infobox at the upper left corner of the screen. Just wondering what this is about. Does the wiki need to support infoboxes? Scorpion123 20:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going to need more information then that. A link to the template, page its being used on, or atleast what wiki would be greatly helpful here. --Uberfuzzy 22:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, haven't been feeling well past couple of days, so I'm sort of "out of the loop" lol. Anyways. Here is the page I'm having issues with. On any other wiki I can add an infobox, but this particular one it just displays an "Template:Infobox" http://submachine.wikia.com/wiki/Secrets Scorpion123 04:15, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * "Infoboxes" are just templates, and that template does not exist at that wiki. find another wiki where it does work, and just copy the template to that wiki.--Uberfuzzy 04:19, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Skin Help
Hi! Thanks for the help with the Skin, I didn't knew that the logo could be invisible. I have a question about the skin, I can't seem to find an answer in any of the wikias with skin: Is there a way to align the banner from background_strip to the right instead of to the left? FusionFaller 07:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I already got it! However, I'm trying to add Collapsible tables to my wiki and I already copy/pasted the code from Help:Dynamic tables into my MediaWiki:Common pages and still doesn't work! Am I missing something? Or if you don't manage this issues, can you redirect me with someone that does? Thanks! FusionFaller 02:07, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Tractor Wiki (stats problem)
Hi uberfuzzy, not sure if this is your thing !

1) But the list of "Most Visited Pages" Here is not updating, when i first started looking at it, the page was updating daily. Now i think its not updated for about a month ? The "Referrers" box at the side updates regularly (the odd one disappears some times for a period then reappears) ?

2) How do I get a Proper set of edit butons on the Nav boxes as per Wikipedia ones ? I got a work round way from Trams wiki but they appear at the center and not the Lhs to mach the (show/hide] button. This is one that uses it Tractor manufacturers. I Also have a group of templates that transclude a list in the middle of a page (for consistency, page size reduction, and allows editing off the main pages) Example here, these could do with having edit buttons at top and possibly collapsible for bigger ones later but without the Navbox look.

3) I'm learing template coding but porting them from wikipedia gives as many problems as it solves due to the interlinking nature & extensive use of them in the documentation pages, Delinking some of the stuff and swaping from calling WP pages to pages on the wiki are giving issues at times. When they call the Wikipedia Name space is there a short way of calling the "Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki" one (i.e like w: is used for wikia: )?

4) Display issues with the Msg box suit from wikipedia Ambox (Ombox was fixed by its creator but I could not understand the explanation :( given and he was busy on WP projects.) Ombox

If you cannot help please suggest were to look. Thanks BulldozerD11 18:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * For #3: you can try Project: ..., I think thats what you wanted? -- Sixorish 18:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Sixorish Ill try that (its alot shorter than full title any way but not as short as w: for wikia:  ) - BulldozerD11 19:48, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Wheel of Time interwiki
Pardon my ignorance; is there a caching/time-delay while interwiki updates propagate through the Wikia system? I only ask because you marked Special:ProblemReports/17969 fixed but it doesn't appear to work to the Dutch version, only from. -- nae'blis 22:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No need to pardon, its a perfectly good question. Yes there is. Its on about a 3 hour timer. the link didnt exist on the nl page, so it pulled it in immediately, but because the link existed somewhere on the en wiki, its got the invalid one cached. Sometime in the next (upto) 3 hours, it will get reloaded, and it should work. you may have to resave the page though --Uberfuzzy (talk) 23:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Perfect, thanks for the speedy response! I'm learning to be patient with some of the idiosyncrasies of Wikia as it's gotten bigger... -- nae'blis 23:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Your patience is ly appreciated. We are looking into methods to improve the interwiki link process, such as speed of activation and other features, but as its not something thats used that often, its not moving very fast. --Uberfuzzy (talk) 23:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)great
