Account creation trouble
Hey BlueDevil. Since you are a Wikia Helper, I just HAD to ask you why I can't register. A user advised me to talk to a Helper if I had any trouble. If you can, please let me know what the problem is.

--76.4.211.235 01:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

More info
I'm sorry. What happens is the Wikia says it's unable to register me at this time. That's it. --76.4.211.235 03:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Do what I did, go to Wikianswers, it signs you up and for some reason it doesn't stop you, I had the same problem when I was trying to create this account (Webkinz112)-- Webkinz112 My talk page (haha, no link for you) 03:59, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

YES!!! I DID IT!!! Thanks so much! --SuperSonicRider 12:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Double redirects
Hello, is there a difference between #Redirect and #REDIRECT? It appears that you are fixing the double redirects that I had already fixed on and. SUL 16:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Something wasn't working and I was testing if it got fixed or not. That's why I jumped in the middle of your work :-) -- BlueDevil Talk 16:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Most likely the cache didn't update on the special page (takes a while) so even though you fixed it, the special page didn't recognize you did :) ~Joey~  ^Talk^  17:09, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Friendly community?
When I attempted to make a change on the present IP address (to note that there are problems associated with it on Wikipedia) I had the following message appear:

Warning: The liberal Jew-run media has infiltrated Wikiality, and forced us to allow anonymous editing. The Surgeon General has ordered us to warn you that editing anonymously can cause birth defects, cancer, increased risk of stroke, and revealing your IP address. Please log in if you wish to hide your IP address.

This is #totally inappropriate# - and more befits Conservapedia than Wikia.

As the WP block on the IP address seems to be justified in this context, could a suitable comment be made on the article page.

Becoming Administrator on a wiki that isn't being used
How am I able to become an Administrator of a wiki that isn't being used by the founder whos last login was over 2 years ago?

The wiki in question is the multimedia wiki. There are only 2 members (both Administrators) of this wiki, and neither has logged in for a very long time.

1.	Edgeworld (Talk) · (Contribs) · (Edit stats)	bureaucrat, sysop	0	19:11, 6 April 2007	- 2.	Sigfig (Talk) · (Contribs) · (Edit stats)	bureaucrat, sysop	0	21:58, 30 November 2007

I'm wanting to help develop this wiki as a reference source for various types of multimedia, such as tv shows, movies and games. To do so as an Administrator would allow me to begin developing the wiki without being encumberred by any access restrictions (e.g. changing the category to "entertainment").

--Thermal 08:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Adoption requests. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  09:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey. JoePlay said that i became an admin, but i haven't gotten a message after that, saying my responsibilities or anything. if this was a mistake, and i wasn't supposed to be an admin, then send me a message saying so, and i understand. thx. SuperMutantSlayer450

Megami Tensei Wiki Conflicts
Currently, I am the founder of Megami Tensei Wiki. In the beginning, I contributed, but for well over a year now, I have been inactive on the site, save for talk pages and uploading a random image or two. The problem lies in the fact that there are too many conflicts (not directly involving me) going on with contributors that I had given admin rights to. I felt then that they were atypical of what usually happens when one person want something one way, and another wants it another way. They are intelligent, well-spoken people and hard-working, which makes this a real shame. There was no resolution, and now these people appear to be leaving the wiki out of frustration---perhaps for good. Consider the source, but the person on their way out deemed the wiki "to be in future jeopardy". I would like to request a renouncement or something similar of my bureacratic rights. I am no born leader, and I didn't realize that this was the role I would have to play. I see all sides to an argument, but these issues cause undue stress for me, and interferes with my work on other wikis. I would gladly give permission to someone else that asks if they want the "weighty" responsibility, if that is what's necessary. Perhaps, I've posted this on the wrong page, but can you help? icysugarspike 21:46, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, please honor my request and remove the flags. As for the discussion as to who will sit "on the throne" (ouch), I'm getting out of the bathroom altogether and letting them fight for the last piece of toilet paper. Thanks for your help. icysugarspike 00:19, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, BlueDevil. I'm Bluer, one of the admin who have worked very close with icy and has been with him since the inception of the Megami Tensei Wiki as can be attested through my contributions and both our talk pages. I am saddened that icy has chosen to give up his rights, but I am willing to take over cleaning the "bathroom" and perhaps bringing a new set of toilet papers. Of course, if this is not the page to do so, I'm really sorry.  BLUER   一番   04:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have done so by opening a forum thread here.  BLUER   一番   13:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the intrusion, BlueDevil, but unfortunately our community participation is a bit lacking, despite advertising it thoroughly throughout the wiki. And the only other participant is mostly out there spreading bad faith - I do not really understand his problem, but unfortunately the so-called conflict begun ever since he was given administrative rights, as Icy above can confirm. I have been editing actively ever since my first edit in the wiki, and I also actively welcome every new user who contributes. I ensure previous bcrat Icy's trust on me is well-placed ever since I am entrusted sysop rights, and I sincerely intend to create a welcoming and friendly staff on the wiki, one without a user who spread bad faith.

AWB
Hey BlueDevil :-). Since you seem to be one of the primary updaters of the AWB checkpage, I wondered if there was anything else I had do other than my request here? Thanks :).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 09:59, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks for reminding me!--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 15:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

PyWikipedia
Hi BlueDevil,

I noticed that you recently submitted a bug at SourceForge about PyWikipedia. You can find instructions about how to make the bot recognise custom user groups (such as helper and staff) at Pywikipedia_bot_on_non-Wikimedia_projects. SUL 18:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I had those in my wikipedia.py (thanks to Uberfuzzy), but when I updated my bot, everything got broken. That's why I asked them to add those custom permissions. Now that I know how to do it, I'll change it. Thanks for your help!--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 19:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

what can i do to get others to help and stay to help edit my wiki? Jonathan Smith (JohnnyLightning)  Video Game History
 * Work a little bit on your main page. Add links to some articles. That's the entrance of your wiki and it's the first thing users encounter when they enter your wiki. That's why you should make it more interesting. You can get more help from User:Richard1990-- a Wikia Gaming Helper. Also, take a look at Help:Making a successful wiki.--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 18:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Autowikibrowser
Hello, BlueDevil

I recently updated my Autowikibrowser software to the latest version. It allowed me to use the program for maybe a week, but now I'm getting an error message upon login attempts that says, "Tommy9281 is not enabled to use this." I haven't changed any settings or anything, nor am logged into the wiki through Internet Explorer. If you could help me figure out what's wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks,Tommy9281 04:41, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I haven't used AWB recently, so I'm not sure what problem you might have. You could go to #autowikibrowser channel on IRC. They might be able to help you. Or use the Wikia Forum. Thanks!--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 22:11, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Islam Wiki
Hello Bluedevil I noticed that you have admin rights on the islam wiki. It seems that this wiki is inactive include you I have post a while ago on your talkpage overthere and got no response yet.

It seems that that the most articles are forked from wikipedia. That is no problem but all those articles are missing the create commons template.

Since this Wiki is really inactive I would like to do a proposal. I am responsible for the Religion wiki] Our community is very active and we have a lot of religion portals include Islam. We could merge the islam wiki in the religion Wiki and direct the islam wiki url to the Islam portal.

Currently we are planning to do this also with the hinduism and buddhism wiki. I have contacted catherine munro about these two wiki's and she has agreed with it.

I noticed that the islam wiki is still inactive thats why i thought that we could do that with the Islam wiki too. If someone wants to reopen the islam wiki in the future that can be easily arranged.

Let me know if you are interested with doing this. At least the islam wiki url will be directed to an active religion community with subjects about Islam.

 * Hi Sgt.Friso, I understand what you're saying, but no. I will try to find some free time and put some effort to make Islam wiki more active. Adding the template can easily be done using a Bot. Thanks!--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 05:29, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ok then. Then i will copy some articles from our wiki to islam wiki for keeping the islam wiki alive. you may also copy our templates if you have time. regard-- <font face="Georgia">Friso Yoyon Schaap (Talk) • (Religion Wiki Administrator) 01:03, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

AutoWikiBrowser
Hi there. A user edited on Combine OverWiki with AWB, but he's not listed on Community Central:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage (his user name is "SiPlus"), I was wondering how it is possible. Thanks for your answer! Klow 23:09, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe he is using a version that doesn't check the checkpage. I tested the current version (5.0.0.1) and it won't allow you to use the AWB if your name isn't listed on the checkpage. That's what I can think of.--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 01:08, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * So how come? He'd be using an older version? Because yesterday I made a request on the CheckPage to use the program with another account that would later become a bot, and then I downloaded the program from SourceForge, which appears to be version 5.0.0.0 (still today) and I can already use it on Wikia. Klow 10:57, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can use it because I added your name to the checkpage yesterday-I forgot to write done on the talk page though. Mine is 5.0.0.1!--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 17:44, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
