Move of URL
Hi again Sannse. At Spademanns Leksikon we have found that da.uncyclopedia.wikia.com is a long and hard URL - could it be possible to change it to something more simple like spademann.wikia.com? If possible, please do it. Thank you. --Lhademmor 16:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * That can be done, it will fit with most other versions that have unique names. I'll put it on the to-do list.. it may be a while before it gets done though -- Sannse 19:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Btw, several sites have already linked to the old URL, so a redirect would be appropriate, I reckon. --Lhademmor 11:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Help
Hello, The War of the worlds wikia is getting more users! But with increased activity we need an active admin. There are a few articles I would like to delete, because they make no sense. I have contacted the founder of the site, but have received no reply. I suggest that you make me admin so we can secure the site. it is your choice, Iam just saying what I think would help the site more. Thank you for your time.BobafettH23 00:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As it turns out, he made contact with me the yesterday, I just found this out, but we do need an active admin. Thank you for your time. BobafettH23 00:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As he has got in touch, you can toalk to him about this. He has the ability to make you an admin, and it would be better for this to be something you work out between you.  Let him know that you are interested in being an admin, and willing to be around to look after the wiki.  I'm sure you can sort this between the two of you. -- Sannse 08:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Google maps code
Hi Sannse. Thanks very much for getting Google maps enabled over at WikiJET. I'm sure they will be very useful but I'm having a few problems. The major problem is that everything works fine when I'm editing an article and I preview the page, but as soon as I hit the save button the map disappears completely! Check out the Gaucho page.

I'm also having a small problem with the code. On the help page it says that you can get rid of the Map/Satellite/Hybrid controls with the variable selector="no", but I've found this has no effect. Also, I notice there is no align variable to control the positioning of the map on the page. Will I have to put it in a table manually to do that? Thanks for any help you can give, Bobo12345 01:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Bobo. I'm just about to leave for the airport, and will be off line for a while (maybe until Monday, hopefully not that long).  You could ask for help in the Wikia IRC channel or I will look as soon as I get back online.  Sorry about the problems -- Sannse 07:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

After further investigation it seems that the maps are not working when viewed with Firefox, but are ok in Internet Explorer. Has this been reported elsewhere too? Any time you get the chance to answer is fine by the way. Cheers, Bobo12345 09:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been fiddling around with it a bit more and the problem seems a bit strange. It seems that when the code that doesn't seem to show a map on the Gaucho page is copied onto the Playground page, it works. This is the case using Firefox and IE. When viewing the Gaucho page in IE, an error message appears:


 * Line: 57.
 * Char: 762
 * Error: Object expected
 * Code: 0
 * URL: http://jet.wikia.com/wiki/Gaucho

Bobo12345 05:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bobo, it looks like the issue with firefox and google maps is a caching thing. When I visted http://jet.wikia.com/index.php?title=Gaucho&action=purge the map showed up. I'll talk to the guy who wrote the extension to see if he can make it show up more easily. I'll also talk to him about the problems with "selector", I think I may have got the name wrong when I wrote the help page and need to talk to him about what it should be. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for letting me know of the problem! -- Sannse 18:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much Sannse! Purging seems to have solved the problem. Bobo12345 12:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Food wiki
Sannse, I will be back updating my wikis on Monday. Finally, I am free again, Hahaha.

I would like to ask you if I can adopt Food Wiki. At least 20 people already promised to back me up on Food Wiki. These people are from the ESL community I have told you about. They have confirmed to me to be contributors to the Food Wiki, so I said: OK, I will ask for the wiki. One of them (from Germany) is a nutrition expert. Whoa!

So, I would like to adopt the Food Wiki. I will call it: Foodopedia.

Thank you,

--Agus elex 2005 11:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Agus, that's fine :) I've made you admin and bureaucrat there, shout if you need help! -- Sannse 18:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, sannse --Agus elex 2005 17:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Serial Killer Wikia
Hi,

Me and Boris are now the proud owners of a serial killer wikia. For the next week we're basically going to focus on setting it up, rather than adding content; I notice that you're good with logos - any ideas? Please could you reply on my talk page at the serial killer wiki, or email me? Cheers, Dave on Wikipedia, this on Serial Killer Wikia 18:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

P.S. You have a redundant notice on the top of your talk page

Icon help
Sannse, could you make a favicon for the KOTOR Wikia?


 * Hi, I'll give it a go! If you have any ideas of what it should look like, let me know -- Sannse 10:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry I didn't get back to you, anyway, I was thinking of the icon being...well, I don't know. Do you have any suggestions?

Re: Doujin
hi, I've added some description of Doujin on its page, and link this term to en.wikipedia for more details. --KJ_(talk) 04:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks KJ :) -- Sannse 10:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

RSS code display?
Hi, I saw the new features forum and it read "the code is simple - RSS feed failed to load", so I changed it to this - if that's against your intentions sorry! I just thought you'd want to know in case I messed it up. Scott ch 16:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Scottch, that's exactly what I meant :) -- Sannse 17:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Found this annoying, it doesn't mention that this is a talk page. -- Zanimum 20:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Good find! That certainly needs fixing. Thanks -- Sannse 20:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The "Wikia Highlights" on the main page
Hi Sannse, what's the status of adding my wiki to the main page? You were about to make a redesign on Template:Home/temp. I left you a suggestion on Template talk:Home/temp. Sorry to bother you, but can you please reply so I'll know if there is a problem or if I can help. --Spankart 23:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Spankart. I'm afraid I just haven't had time to work on that.  Bill is now looking at the overall design of the page, and considering whether it needs a radical redesign to make it less text heavy and overwhelming for new users.  But in the mean time, I've changed it around slightly to move two off (that are rather inactive) and add Spanking Art back. -- Sannse 19:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! *hugs* Also thanks a lot for your promotion on reddit.com and other sites. --Spankart 22:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Bot Flat
Hi requesting Bot Flag on w:c:Dofus for user w:c:Dofus:User:CizBot, dont know if its necesary but its a semi-automatic using MWiki-Browser software. --Cizagna (Talk) 15:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, You only need a bot flag if you are going to be making many fast edits that will fill recent changes and annoy other users. The only thing the flag does is to hide edits from showing on recent changes.  So I would say, see how it goes, and if the community finds it too much too quickly, then we an add the flag.  I just need to know the account, and that you have community approval to hide the edits.  -- Sannse 19:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser
Is StarNeptune part of the wikia staff? Why does she have checkuser rights? Alfre Mondad 20:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * StarNeptune is a trusted user who was given checkuser rights on one wiki when that wiki was having particular problems. Things seem calm there now, but as she has been using it so helpfully there, there doesn't seem a reason to remove the rights.  This was a very particular situation, and is not likely to be repeated often, if at all. -- Sannse 19:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * User:Alfre Mondad User:Succhiacazzo User:Vandalo pornografico User:Visionviper all on 82.48.30.92 FYI. --Splarka (talk) 04:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Oversight request
Hi, I'm not sure if this is worthy, but can I request that this revision on the Dofus wiki to be oversighted ? It contains an email address that I doubt belonged to the editor.. Cheers. //Peet 20:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The oversight feature is currently off, so I will have to look at this tomorrow. But removing this edit should be no problem. -- Sannse 20:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oversight isn't going to be available for a while, so I've done a manual delete and partial restore. This removes the edit from public view (although admins can still view it).  That should be fine for now -- Sannse 10:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Oversight question
Would it be reasonable to have a number of page revisions oversighted. I have 3 main e-mail addreses. A very old one personal one which I don't want to lose because I use it in so many places. One which I use in my resume and for other work type matters. And one which I give out publicly because it's possible for me to delete if I have a spam issue. I switched my e-mail addreses a while ago, but some old revisions of some of my userpages and the about page at the gaiapedia still have my personal e-mail address in them. Which removes some of the use of editing them into new ones everywhere. The total number of revisions I can count that would need to be changed are:
 * The first 7 on User:Dantman
 * The first 2 on Anime:User:Dantman/Userpage Archives/1
 * The first 1 at w:c:Naruto:User:Dantman/Userpage Archives/1
 * The first 1 at InuYasha:User:Dantman/Userpage Archives/1
 * 12 of the revistions at w:c:gaia:User:Dantman
 * And 13 of the revisions at w:c:gaia:Project:About
 * Is this normaly a reasonable action? ~Dantman(talk) 21:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * If you are only trying to hide them from spam bots and search engines, then I would suggest just deleting the revisions. You can do this by deleting the page, and then restoring the pages that are OK.  History won't be seen anyway, but deleting will further remove them so that only admins can see them (and they are unlikely to bother!).  This will be a lot easier than oversighting, which doesn't sound vital in this case -- Sannse 20:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I was considering it morealso for hiding from other users. True that on central and on the gaiapedia it won't be a bother because I'm the only active gaiapedia admin (and it's unlikely we'll get more). Though, there is a strong guarantee that there will be more admins in the future at the animepedia, narutopedia, and inuyasha wiki. And posibly ones which aren't as great as with the simple 1 or 2 admins needed on small wikia. I can delete the ones on The Gaiapedia, but I can't delete the stuff in central. And I'll delete the stuff in the other 3 while I'm waiting for a reply on if oversighting the 4 revisions on the 3 wiki in the WAP could be oversighted as a way to also make it easier to find. ~Dantman(talk) 21:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It seems Checkuser isn't available at the moment, so it will have to be deletions. There is no spam risk from deleted edits, and even if another user did search through them for the address, you could block mail from them, so I really think this is enough of a solution in this case.  I'll remove the Central edits, and any others I can still see -- Sannse 10:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see GHe already got the Central ones - thanks GHe -- Sannse 10:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Pirate ads
Hi Lisa, over on the Muppet Wikia site's community portal, there's been discussion that Wikia might consider blocking ads for pirated Muppet merchandise. Would this be something Wikia is willing to do? (Various contributors to the site are supposedly insiders, at least one regular is a Muppet performer.) --  Zanimum 16:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, this is possible. We just need to know exactly which ads (right click to copy the link location, so we know what to remove) and let us know.  However, be warned... other wikis have found that these ads will keep coming back, as fast as we remove one (which can't be instant) another appears.  The other option is to go to graphical ads.  These are more controllable, and less likely to be for problem services.  Some wikis have gone this way already for similar reasons.  See Dofus for an example.  Let me know what the community wants. -- Sannse 20:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Here's the premlinary list. --  Zanimum 15:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Preloadthingy
This should fix the problem of overwriting existing pages on the CreateWiki preloads (as well as resetting the form if you click 'back'). --Splarka (talk) 22:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

A french forum
On the Help:Forums page, they point to you for help about forums. I think my forum did not receive de "standard setup" but since it's a french wikia, all Category must be replace by Catégorie anyway. So, i've copied over all code myself and translated things. But still, something's odd. Some template (modèle in our case) is list as a message in the test forum. What do you think i'm doing wrong ? Here some links : I've just begin adding some forums. The first three are not set up yet. Thanks in advance for your trouble. TůζipVõrζąx 05:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

But thanks for covering my back. If i dont have anything else wrong, i think you'll have someone to translate (to french) the help on forums someday. Maybe in this wikia help section at first, will be easier.

Arabic uncyclopedia
Hi Sannse, it is me again , sorry to bother you, but I think the page setup in the entire Arabic section is kind of screwed up, the main template in sort of invading or intermingling with the rest of the page , I don’t have that problem with my computer at home but at work and with few other computer the page setup is screwy, can you please direct me to where I can get some advice regarding how to fix that Classic 971 09:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * sometimes these pages on right to left wikis are very difficult. The code goes in one way and the langauge goes the  other :-/  I have looked at this page before, but wasn't able to fix it.  I'll have another try when I have a moment - see if I can get it to work. -- Sannse 20:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Hikipedia of Wikia
Hi Sannse. Since it's been a while, I decided to ask this question: when is Wikia's Hikipedia going to be deleted? Trolls and vandals are having a good time over there, but otherwise it's useless. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

New Wikia request
Hi Leo, I wonder if I could have your opinion on a new request for a Wikia? Apparently it would be very similar to this wiki, but for Ohio. Does it look like a workable request to you? And would you be willing to advise the founder if it goes ahead? Many thanks -- Sannse 11:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You deleted the right page. The images (a copy of one of those fax-spams) must have been on another Wikia.  I'll get back to you (if you're the one I should talk to) - it was a late night.  Thanks.  Zephyrinus 11:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Help on WarWiki
You are experienced on Wikia. We need help on the WarWiki. Jack Phoenix has been deleting quite a few articles and redirects. He is saying that wars do not include fictional wars. I tried to recreate a few of those articles but he redeletes them. I fear a war on the war wiki will soon start if this matter does not clear up. I'm afraid with my newest edits on my wiki, I fear that he will soon be the only editor left on WW if I will be blocked. You are now the War Wiki's only hope against his overuse of power. Good luck.

Security
Hi Sannse, In response to your e-mail, we would prefer that you grant us Security as the page name. Integrated Security can be added as a category of Security very easily. There are many other categories of security which can be added under Security as well, which you may have future requests for: physical security, personal security, national security, etc. It's simply positioning everything from broad (Security) to specific (integrated security). Let me know if you any further questions. jameshall@gmail.com

Security
Thanks for the e-mail. My new account user name is SecurityOne. Could you have my old user name removed and replaced with SecurityOne. Thank-you.


 * Hi, I've replied to your mail with instructions on how to verify your email. Once that's done, I can make the wiki :) -- Sannse 09:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Jurassic Park Wiki
HI, I have read your comment on the JP wiki. User:Splarka told me if I had enough votes that I could be A beuacrat. The vote has been over for quite some time now and I won. The only two other active user have voded for me. Please make me a beucract. Thank you, Chaosman92 19:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. I have to ask, are you reading my replies?  That's a genuine question, I have answered this on my talk page and the new admins page, but you don't seem to be hearing me.  I'm not sure what else to say here. -- Sannse 07:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

That still doesent answer my question. I was promised beucracrship. Chaosman92 14:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

How about Vinny and I both be bercracts? I WAS promised that and it is only fair that I get it. Vinny deserves it too. Chaosman92


 * What Splarka said was that you should hold a vote and we would implement the results. What I have said is there are no valid results.  The only two people who voted were people who you told you would admin if you were elected.


 * As well as the concern over the vote, I'm also worried about your ideas about what it means to be a bureaucrat. You seem to see it as some high leader position.  All it means if you have the ability to set people as admins.


 * And, 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.  What I said before (and what Splarka said) doesn't apply now we have this information. -- Sannse 21:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sannse. Thank you for making me an administrator at India Wikia. This shall sutrely improve my functionality there :) --Bhadani (talk) 02:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem Bhadani -- Sannse 16:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

it is me again
Hi Sannse. It is mladifilozof from konoplja.wikia again. Thanx for helping me about favicon. And for the forum - can you make only one forum with the name "Forum" (not forums). Greetings! --Mladifilozof 16:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Mladifilozof. All forums are called Forum:Something, and I don't think Forum:Forum will look right :) What would be a better second word? (sorry for being slow on this, it's been a busy weekend off-line - sannse 16:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Forum:Konoba would be ok. Thanks again:))--Mladifilozof 23:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, I've switched it over to that name. Let me know if you find any problems -- Sannse 08:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

A list to start with
I've got a basic list of Help pages started here: User:CatherineMunro/Help sandbox. Be bold! I'll be back in my morning, your afternoon. :) -- Catherine 07:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Poetryslam
I need to resubmit the poetryslam wiki. I'm still dumbfounded that it has been rejected. I cannot stress strongly enough that what we are proposing is completely different than what is happening on the poetry wiki. As far as I can tell, the poetry wiki is mostly for people who want to share their poetry. We won't even be allowing poetry submission on our wiki.

My concern here is that we will get lost if we are part of your poetry wiki. We need our category.

Let me ask you a question. If there was a wiki called games, would you require MMORPG to be a subcategory or would you allow them their own category? If there was a wiki called MMORPG would you force World of Warcraft to be a subcategory?

I ask you to reconsider. If not, are there possibilities for me to resubmit in a different way?


 * Oops, I missed this one, but I see that Angela has created the wiki. Hope it goes well! :) -- Sannse 10:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

RE: Mods Wiki
Yes, Game mods would probably be more appropriate in terms of a name. How do I fix this? Do I simply edit the requests page? Please let me know at


 * Hi, I've replied there -- Sannse 10:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

JP wiki (I know. Aren't you just getting tired of this?)
I am too. When word got out that someone was stepping up and becoming an admin for the JP wiki, we started to get new contributors. Well, pretty much all of those contributors have left, including Choasman92, all because of lack of improvement. If I want to keep the JP wiki from falling into oblivion, then someone has to be adminisized! And I mean soon! --Vinny2 01:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem is, I'm getting very little feedback from this community. for example, I explained the situation with Chaosman92 here and heard nothing back about what people thought about that, or what the best solution would be.  The last voter seems not to even have noticed the discussion.  As for improving the wiki, there is very little you can't do now, and if you need any help with deleting pages or anything, let me know -- Sannse 10:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem is there is no community. JurassicDreamer, the other user who was promised admin status by Chaosman92, hasn't resurfased in about a month. I know Chaosman92 left after he was told he wouldn't be given admin status. Spartan 1 1 7, the guy who says he started the wiki, made a few edits a couple of weeks back and disappeared. As for everyone else, they drop in, make a few edits, and write something on the New Admins page without even reading the whole discussion. Also, I do need these pages deleted:
 * Carnivore dominance duels
 * Security
 * Carnosaur
 * Technology
 * Actors
 * Mesozoic Island
 * Production Staff
 * Tyrannosauridae
 * Therapod
 * If you could do that it would really help me out a lot. --Vinny2 13:23, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, I've set you as sysop, it seems you are the one who is going to stick around and improve the place :) I've deleted most the the pages you listed, the last two I wasn't sure about - they looked to be useful content, so I left them for you to have another look.  Let me know if you need help with the new admin buttons -- Sannse 18:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for officiating my adoption of the wiki!--Ultric Sandov 19:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem :) -- Sannse 06:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Finnish RuneScape wiki
Finnish RuneScape wiki had been dead for like 2 months before i arrived there. I already have the most edits and am wishing to become a sysop to counter vandalism. The problem is, every bureaucrat has left and vandals have noticed this, main page has been vandalised many times and every page in my watchlist is plain vandalism, certain people use very naughty images and add nonsence to popular pages such as blanking main page and replacing it with "'Image about ***' RuneScape=****".

Can u please give me sysop rights? (Username is the same as here.) Katshuma 14:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It seems there are a few other regular users, although I can see you have done a lot there! I would talk to other users there, and get agreement from them first.  Thanks -- Sannse 21:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Even temporary adminship would help. Like 1 day so I could delete vandalism. Katshuma 12:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * What I suggest is that you translate and add w:c:starter:Template:Delete to the wiki, and then tag any vandalised articles with .  Then let me know, and I'll come and delete the whole batch.  Perhaps this is something you can get others on the wiki involved in.  Thanks -- Sannse 14:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help! I have followed your instructions and added the template. All articles that should be deleted can be found right here. If you can delete them please do. Katshuma 17:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much! Katshuma 21:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, let me know what the community agrees about new admins -- Sannse 11:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Game Mods Search Template
Hey, I hate to ask anything more of you since you have already helped me so much, but could you make me a Search template, or at least show me how to use one? Thanks,--Bucketruck 00:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by a search template... is there one on another wiki you can show me to explain what you want? An no problem! that's what I'm here for  :) -- Sannse 06:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What I mean is in the navigation column on the left of the page there is a search. I was wondering how to make this into a template so you can display it anywhere in the page. Thanks --Bucketruck 13:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I think what you need is an Inputbox. For example, to get a simple search box you would type:


 * Which would give you:


 * Does that help? -- Sannse 14:33, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! That was what I wanted! You'll be happy to know I have been both working relentlessly on stylizing and setting up the wiki AND advertising it! Some people I know have started several topics on other message boards to build enthusiasm. I hope it's going to be successful! By the way, when you have got some free time(don't rush yourself!) would you mind making me an icon? Thank you SOOO much!--Bucketruck 22:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll try and come up with something :) not sure what would work... -- Sannse 11:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

AWB/MWB
I ran into the AWB page and looked into the MWB, noticing that it works with multiple customized Regex rules I am considering replacing my normal actions of Copying page content into RegexBuddy, running multiple replaces using it's slow action (On every character change it redoes the statement, which causes extreme slowness when you blank the expression or have a large amount of target text) and then pasting the finished text back into the edit form with using the MWB. Since I'm prone to making large quantitys of edits with tools like that I was wondering if the abnormal combination of the Bot/Sysop flags is accepted for use on a user made for use with AWB? Or even if the Bot flag is normally given to such a user.

I'm also trying to decide what account to use because I don't really want to run AWB on one of the accounts Pywikipedia runs on, plus the double tags wouldn't usually be placed on those. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 27, 2007 @ 18:54 (UTC)


 * It's generally considered a very bad idea to have an admin/bot. Admin actions should not be hidden from recent changes, and there is rarely a need for any bot to perform admin actions - there is just too much risk of damage if something is set up wrong.  So I would advise removing the admin flag from any account that has a bot flag. -- Sannse 11:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Ya... That was understandable with Pywikipedia, and it worked out cause dual-accounts could be used. But with AWB I guess sticking it with a Bot flag would be it. Though, it'll get annoying if I run into any protected pages which need a standardized change. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 28, 2007 @ 12:19 (UTC)


 * I think I'll use User:DantmanAWB to do my AWB edits. Should I request a bot flag now on the same wiki which my AnimeBot and GaiaBot accounts have bot status (Gaiapedia, Animepedia, Narutopedia, InuYasha Wiki, Dragon Ball Wiki, and waiting on the Ghost in the Shell Wiki), or should I wait till I find a situation where I'll definately be cluttering the recent changes with edits. Then again, I'm probably going to get into that sometime soon. But then again, I'll probably start using AWB to simplify the task of converting wiki to be WGEP compitable. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 1, 2007 @ 14:20 (UTC)


 * It's best to only request the flag when you need it. Personally, I prefer to see a lot of edits on recentchanges, as long as they aren't actively getting in the way for others.  So let me know if and when you need the flag -- Sannse 11:19, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Lord of the Rings Online wiki
It's dead, correct? 71.105.179.144 07:05, 28 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It looks like it's not really got started yet, but there is potential there. Hopefully it will grow and come alive again.  -- Sannse 11:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Using Analytics and Webmaster tools on RPG Wikia
Hi Sannse, I already asked Angela this question by mail a wek ago, but she didn't respond:

Hello Angela,

I would like to use Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools to make some improvements on RPG wikia. I remember there was a thread on [Wikia-l] about Google Analytics and the ID that goes into the Javascript code one every page. Is it possible for me as a bureaucrat of RPG Wikia to use Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools for our subdomain or is that only possible for Wikia employees?

Best regards, Johannes

Maybe you can enlighten me on this - I would be very happy. Please respond by e-mail on my RPG user Page.

Best regards, Johannes/KainNiemand 12:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

WWW Does Not Work for Wikia

 * http://electoralreform.wikia.com (this works)
 * http://www.electoralreform.wikia.com (this does not work)

I would not normally worry about this but I want to add this Wikia to AboutUs.org a Wiki for websites and subdomans. I have created the page here and the page name is corect but the large link at the top does not work because AboutUs places a "WWW" in the address automatically.

As Wikia and AboutUs.org are both Wiki projects it would be good to get compatibility.

Question about makesysop
Hello! Whether you will prompt, when function makesysop at the local bureaucrats again will earn? — Afinogenoff ¾ 10:11, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Muppet Wiki ads
Hi Sannse -- Thanks for checking in about the pirate ads on Muppet Wiki, and blocking more ads. That's great; I didn't expect it! -- Danny (talk ) 12:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, although I did get a nudge... see above where I was asked to check in and clear it :) -- Sannse 15:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

A favicon for Wikiality.com
Hello! Could you please help me figure out how to make this favicon work on Wikiality? None of us know how to do it. I uploaded it here, but I don't know what to do next. duh. Just in case, here is the image from which we made the favicon. If you could explain the process we would really appreciate it! (If possible, could you reply on my Wikiality talk page, so the other admins can see, too?) Thanks --thisniss 18:26, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help with the coding. We were able to get the User icon working, but I still haven't managed to get the one working in the URL bar for some reason.  We have a user who got one working on another Wikia - hopefully he can get it sorted out for us.  Thanks again!! --thisniss 01:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem at wikiality is that when the site was imported, it was requested that the site stay the same, including the null article path. This means, that articles have the format domain/Pagename rather than the usual Wikia/Wikipedia domain/wiki/Pagename. This precludes the existence of certain root files and scripts, such as robots.txt, favicon.ico, query.php, and api.php without some ugly hacking (if it is even possible). You might ask Dauno to consider asking the wikia devs to move the article to /wiki/ (with a 404 meta refresh redirect so as not to break links). --Splarka (talk) 06:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for your help. We feel so much cooler now with our new picsies. Will mention the difficulties to Dauno and see if he can make changes to make things easier.  I am in way over my head when it comes to that level of programming, so I admire the hackspertise it took to make it work for us. -- thisniss 20:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
