Revert spree?
I'm interested in your little revert spree on some of the Runescape wikia pages. I noticed you did revert them back again. Were you testing the revert or did you mistakenly think Hyenaste was a vandal? Amaurice (talk) 12:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm similarly interested. The IP threatened tattling for the 3RR Wikipedia has, but I didn't believe staff would come and revert spam back onto my talk page. :D >> Hyenaste talk
 * I'm really sorry for that. I was looking through some edits and decided to save time with "open all in tabs"... forgetting that some of the links in view were rollback links :-o I did feel rather stupid at that one.  Sorry again -- sannse (talk) 17:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I just wondered if I'd missed something going on. You reverted them back again anyway. So it was just one of those little mistakes that happen, and nothing more sinister. =D Amaurice (talk) 17:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

JP Wiki
I have been on the Jurassic Park Wiki since Febuary and have even posted my Personal pictures from Universal Studios JP section. I have tried to adopt it several times but I was unable to contact the creator. I saw that you made Vinny a sysop. He has only contributed only a month longer than me. Could you please make me a sysop? I will make the site better and keep it nice. Thank you so much.Chaosman92 18:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Please contact me on JP Wiki. ThanksChaosman92 18:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I explained this to you back in April: "it seems this is not your only account, and that other account has already lost admin rights on one wiki and has been banned from another. I won't make someone an admin under those circumstances."   I'm afraid nothing has changed. -- sannse (talk) 07:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

checking
ok finally i compiled AWB to test the new options and dont seem to work as it should i may report it but i cant still pull any list and i cant find the Query.php and API.php has those been installed? --Cizagna (Talk) 03:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Cizagna, yes, they are installed. One is at http://www.wikia.com/api.php - I'm not sure where the other is, but have sent an email to ask the technical team.  I'll get back to you as soon as I can on that -- sannse (talk) 15:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * found it http://www.wikia.com/query.php well then i can report the bugs with less thing they can complain about us hehe

Hey

 * OK, No problem :) -- sannse (talk) 18:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

IRC #desencyclopedie
Hi. Ducon seems not to be around this week, so I'm thanking you myself for adding #desencyclopedie to the http://irc.wikia.com/ page. --PiRK 20:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * TOR actually did the adding, but no problem! :) -- sannse (talk) 09:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Admin rights on Birds Wiki
Hi sannse! I was wondering if you or someone else on the Community Team could give me administrator rights on Birds Wiki. It was abandoned by its founder, and I have been the only one editing for a while. (I haven't edited for a couple months, but I was planning on it today. Mainly, I've been the only one editing content on there. I'd like admin rights so that I can get it back up and running and do things that an admin can.  Thanks very much! Swannie  talk to me 22:44, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Swannie, you are all set there - have fun! -- sannse (talk) 09:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! Swannie talk to me 13:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Show/Hide
Hi Sannse. Do you know the css and javascript needed to be able to use the toggle show/hide buttons. If so could you add them to The One Wiki to Rule Them All. Thanks a lot -- 13:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi KingAragorn, I've asked Splarka to help with this. Sorry for the delay, I'm away at the moment -- sannse (talk) 06:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The CSS/JS has been added, and if you purge your cache, w:c:lotr:Template:Hidden should start working for you. --Splarka (talk) 23:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

New IRC Channels
Hi Sannse! Could you make an IRC channel for Wikihorses and Symbolism Wiki? Thanks. Swannie talk to me 17:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Swannie. You can make these yourself, you just need to start a channel by joining it and register it with Freenode.  Once you've done that, you can ask us to add the channel to the list allowed by the web-interface.  If you need help with setting up the channel, just ask on #wikia.  See you there -- sannse (talk) 06:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

USERNAME Template on GOW wiki
Hey there Sannse, the USERNAME template on the Gears of war wiki, (link : ) is not working, I have tried several other wikis coding, plus tinkering it on my own. I can't get it to work, I just get the,, so if you can tinker with it and see if you can get it to work, sereral users use it and it is a bit, untidy:P -- Darth tader Stop by 22:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, it looks like you refer to id="insertusername" but don't define that in the site css. You need to look for this in the MediaWiki:Common.css page on the wiki you got the code from, and then add that to http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css  If you need some help, then the best place to ask is the Central forums or on IRC... another contributor should be able to give you a hand :) -- sannse (talk) 12:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Password recovery
At RuneScapeWiki, I have a Wikipedian who wants to become active. He created an account, but forgot his password and information and cannot retrieve his account. He has only made one edit, so it wouldn't be a problem, but he wants the same Wikipedia and Wikia account name. The name is RuneScape:User:Poorleno. Hyenaste 22:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid that without an email address set, we can't verify that the account is his. He will have to make a small variation in the name and make a new account.  Sorry -- sannse (talk) 12:11, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Grub.org
Hi Sannse

following on from our convo yesterday Grub.org isnt forwarding properly again. If you could check and then forward to someone i would appriciate it.

--Markie 11:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Markie, I see it, and I've emailed the guy in charge of Search. Hopefully he will be able to fix this soon. -- sannse (talk) 12:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


 * just for my info - who is "in charge of search" should i need to contact them in the future. Is it Jeremie or someone else??  Cheers for the help.  --Markie 10:54, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, Jeremie :) he's the best person to contact about all search related issues -- sannse (talk) 11:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * ok cheers for all your help. --Markie 11:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Import Free Images is no longer working
Hi Sannse, can you please forward this to the right contact: Has there been any progress on this technical issue which I reported four weeks ago? We'd really like to continue to use this function in our wiki as it is very valuable for us. Thanks, Spankart 21:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've checked the ticket and it's not been assigned... I'll follow up on Monday when the technical team is in, and find out more. Sorry for the delay -- sannse (talk) 11:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Any news? Spankart 10:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I have asked again, but the technical staff have a lot to do at the moment, and other things are a priority. Some of the smaller bugs that are affecting one wiki and not affecting editing as a whole, just can't be fit in for now.  I have talked to the powers that be about this issue, but there doesn't seem to be an easy solution at the moment. -- sannse (talk) 11:17, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
fantasysports.wikia.com. I forgot what my Admin sign on & password is. Or I just forgot everythin'. premier_tom_mayfair@yahoo.com 68.52.107.177 22:13, 11 August 2007 (UTC) User:Tom mayfair/sig 22:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Didn't you just sign in to make the previous edit? G .He (Talk!) 22:54, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yep, looks like you have it now... your log in for Fantasysports is the same as your log in here -- sannse (talk) 11:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

KDApedia
Dear sannse, you reloaded our wiki a few months ago to their own wikia at kda.wikia.com The old database is however still online at the scratchpad. Is it possible to somehow automatically delete all articles that are tagged "KDApedia" on scratchpad? Thank you! ~Snils, 12:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC+1)


 * Jack Phoenix, one of the admins on Scratchpad has agreed to help out with this. -- sannse (talk) 17:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Indeed he did ! thanks a million! :) We keep on editing then ;-)

Kind regards ~Snils, 21:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC+1)


 * I have redirected all Scratchpad pages in the category "KDApedia" and its subcategories to the main KDApedia home page, KDApedia. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:45, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Jack :) -- sannse (talk) 09:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Jack & sannse - on our main page of scratchpad is a link to the new URL so that has been arranged - even the google results for the old scratchpad are diminishing! :) Kind regards ~Snils, 18:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC+1)

Dear Sannse, where can i find pagehits/user stats for my wiki? on http://s23.org/wikistats/wikia_html.php  our #viewers is 0 - which is certainly not true ;-)

Thanks in advance for the help ~Snils, 18:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC+1)

Forum question
Hi Sannse, wondered if you could help with the Forum question just posted: Forum:Where is the right place for mid-level stuff? Cheers Philralph 07:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, replied there -- sannse (talk) 21:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Adopt
Hey Sannse, I talked to you about this on IRC regarding the adoption of this wiki which has been abandon by its founder since January 2006 and I would like to adopt it and improve it if its OK with you ..Cheers...-- Cometstyles 20:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, looks like you have only three edits, and there is an editor who was active just last month with many more. If he/she returns then they have something of a better claim to adoption I would say...  So my suggestion is that you edit for a month or two, improve the wiki, and then if there is a community you can decide on admins together.  If there isn't one yet, then I'll look again at admining you then.  Hope that works for you! -- sannse (talk) 21:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Inactive administrators
At RuneScape Wiki, we have an administrator problem. High admin turnover rate has caused us to amass almost 30 administrators. We are having troubles now getting users to vote for new admins. They cite that our editor/administrator ratio is too high, which is true. As a wiki, we are asking if you could remove the powers from the very inactive users to "thin the herd". One users has also mentioned that these unoccupied administrator accounts are likely targets for vandals. Hyenaste talk 00:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry for the delay. I think the best solution to this is to write yourself an 'inactive admins" page to show who is still around and who has disappeared.  That should make things clearer for your contributors.  We are hoping to add something similar in the future, a page listing what admins are currently active.  But removing inactive admins from around Wikia would be a massive and time consuming job, so for the moment we prefer not to de-admin simply for inactivity.  Sorry -- sannse (talk) 11:14, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
