Automatic talk page messages for new users
Hi, Lisa. I noticed that an automatic talk page message on my wiki was credited to you. I had customized the message for my wiki with a custom message and my contact information. Could you tell me why that's been overwritten, and how I can return it to the correct message? The wiki in question is Our Brant. Mistydemeo 20:20, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because your last edit was over 30 days ago. Where as sannse's last edit was a day ago, changing her user page. Because she (as staff) was the last sysop OR staff to edit, and the sysop's last edit was considered "old", the staff specific message kicked in. This is done so that new users on wikis that have no active admins still get welcomed, but they dont get a message that makes it seem like the staff is actually part of that wiki. --Uberfuzzy 20:37, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right, thanks. That's a bit unfortunate - with the site's topic, edits are relatively sporadic, but it doesn't mean that I am no longer the active admin. Mistydemeo 20:41, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Best way to make sure this doesn't happen is to edit it at least every 30 days :) You should be able to find something to tweak -- sannse (help forum | blog) 02:39, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Gundam Wiki
We kinda need some help in our wiki http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. Since there are no other active admin or staff there, I came here for help. There is a member named Blastoise2045, who kept editing pages with unnecessary and, at one page, false information.

At some point, I made a discussion to make him prove some of his/her claims, but he/she didn't respond and just continued to edit.

I wish someone would take some look at this and make some action. Thanks --Bronx01 01:05, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Moving the vektapedia/killzone wiki
Hi,

I'm currently a bureaucrat/administrator at the [| Killzone Wiki], or as the sitename tells me, the Vektapedia. Is it possible to remove "Vektapedia" as a sitename, and simply use "Killzone Wiki" instead? That would make it look a bit more professional.

Thanks in advance,

Disney Wikia
Why can't registered users upload images?

 * That's already reversed, the site was temporarily locked down while a bizarre wiki misconfiguration could be fixed. -- 21:18, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Bann
Why am I banned? I don't understand why this has happened. 75.109.18.245 01:27, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

creating a wiki
Hi Sannse,

I was hoping to make a Wiki for Doraleous and Associates but the wiki creator won't let me use da.wikia.com because it needs to be atleast 3 letters long like "DnA.wikia.com" or something. I was wondering if we could get around that manually. I'd love to make Doraleous.wikia.com but honestly no one knows how to spell Doraleous properly.

Looking forward to hearing back from you --ShadowTale 18:16, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * The reason it has to be at least 3 characters is because of language codes, da.wikia.com would be reserved for the Danish version of Community Central (which hasn't been created yet).


 * If you want a recommendation, I recommend using the exact spelling (e.g. doraleousandassociates.wikia.com ) with the wiki name as Doraleous and Associates, as that will be much more favorable in search results when people search for your wiki. I wouldn't worry about possible misspellings.

Memory Delta
I just adopted the Memory Delta wiki and it needs a lot of staff support to get going. I would feel a little weird sending in several messages using Special:Contact, or try to explain everything in one giant message, so if you're going to be available I think it would be faster and easier to use the talk pages or IRC (Memory Alpha's channel). If Special:Contact is the best way to go, let me know. Thanks. - 13:27, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Unless you really need a direct chat, Special:Contact from the wiki is the best way to go. That way, more than one Community Team member will see the message and more than one will be able to help. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 14:20, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'll respond here, since this is where the conversation is, so sorry Sannse for using your talk page as a forum.

Actually, having only one person helping is the very reason I prefer not using Special:Contact, since everyone on staff is not up to speed with what a wiki wants/needs/does. I already sent my multiple requests in, and after a day was advised against the change I requested. As you know from my adoption request for that wiki, I was actually requesting the site address, not the single page or the grammatically incorrect site name, but the person responding didn't know all that so \I had to explain it all over again, which is generally just a waste of time and patience if it can be avoided. This is not to say that Special:Contact doesn't work, I just think it would be easier to bring only one person up to speed and have them handle any (major) help requests, since I know some of the things I requested for this wiki, and some that Memory Alpha has requested in the past, may not make sense at first glance to everyone on Wikia's staff. - 19:37, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, we have way too many wikis to look after to give that sort of intensive support to a single wiki. You'll have to use Special:Contact, which allows us to manage requests more easily - sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

The Last Bastion of Evil
How is it that you're such a grim reaper? I find two of my three wikis are destroyed from staff, I hurry to see the third is intact and the only change is that you have registered a userpage for yourself on that wiki. I am confused, so I respond on your talk page with a question. A few hours later, that wiki is also deleted.

Is there some sort of reason you or other staff cannot communicate? Does it make you feel more powerful to just cause destruction without saying a word?--Killdeer 13:20, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please see our Terms of Use. My edit would have been automatic, so I hadn't seen the wiki before.  Once I saw there was a problem, I closed the wiki.  I'm afraid you will have to find another host for your project -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Requesting namespace
Hello there! I am working towards merging of D&amp;D Wiki and Dungeons &amp; Dragons Wiki. To make things easier, I would like to newly request the namespace DnDWiki for D&amp;D Wiki. Could you please tell me, how to do that? Could you create that one for us, or should I apply somewhere? Thanks a lot! Daranios 19:27, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, please can you mail us via Special:Contact, and we will have a look -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Countdown clock
Greetings,

I apologize for sending you a message without you knowing who I am(considering I'm from a different Wiki). I am currently a user at PotC Wiki, and I am here to ask something of the greatest urgency(mostly because the thing I'm asking for seems like a GREAT idea for the Wiki). There is a new installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is set for release on May 20, 2011(just in case if you didn't know). And I went into the Narnia Wiki(I am not a user there, but I am a fan of Narnia), I've noticed that they have a countdown clock for Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the new Narnia film(which is one of the many films that I am looking forward to seeing). When I saw that they had a countdown clock(for their future Narnia film), I thought "Our Wiki is in DESPERATE need of a countdown clock"(considering there's a new Pirates film that we can show in the PotC Wiki). But the problem is, no one in the PotC Wiki knows how to make a countdown clock. So, what I'm asking is, do you know how(or do you know someone who knows how), to make a countdown clock? If you help me with this situation, I will be forever grateful(and thankful for your assistance, if you help me). And I promise to give you FULL credit of making this possible for the PotC Wiki(if you need it).

Sincerely,

CJSFan: here's my my userpage

P.S. If you need to contact me, either respond to my talk page or my email on PotC Wiki:
 * (TPS) The code in question for the countdown timer is currently the only content on MediaWiki:Common.js on the Narnia wiki. Due to the compatible license between Narnia Wiki and the Pirates wiki, you can copy the code into your wiki's own Common.js. To make the timer work:

.
 * 1) Copy the code from narnia to pirates wiki. (make sure you attibute the code to http://narnia.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js&action=history).
 * 2) Place this code into your wiki's MediaWiki:Sitenotice: (replacing the date with the date you want to count down to)
 * If you did everything correctly, you should now have a countdown clock on the sitenotice of your wiki. I'm watching this page, so feel free to ask here for help if you need it Random Time  16:48, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your assistance. But, unfortunately, I will not be able to make sure if it works on the Main Page of PotC Wiki, because only admin can edit it. Fortunately, I have someone who may do it, Uskok(one of the amin of PotC Wiki who I know very well). He will be able to assist with this. CJSFan 17:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, he unblocked it for me just as I send you this message(sorry). CJSFan 17:19, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ban
Execuse me, on Alternate History Wiki, a administrator named Oerwinde banned me for a week because of "removing content from pages". I was re-working a page called Europe 1430 (Map Game), which I am currently manager of. Oerwinde did not give me a warning before he banned me. Can you please look into it and consider this? --Catherine 01:08, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, you'll need to talk to the admin in question, or to another admin from that wiki. It's up to each wiki to decide local policies on banning -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Lost in space
Hi

I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to create a space where my students can find links, add comments , post little bits of research , ideas , group projects , etc without the whole thing getting dragged down into a digital whirlpool. So, my first question is , can I screen contributors so that only my class can post ? If not, then I suppose I will make this just my own little space they can visit. I just want to avoid unwanted postings, or to be able to preview their posts


 * Wikia wikis are public, so anyone can edit... and we don't have pre-posting moderation on edits. The idea is that anyone can contribute and build the project.  You are welcome to Create a wiki and try it out :) -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Flag Bot Request
Hello Sannse, I'm the new admin of Italian Uncyclopedia. I am here to request bot flag for the user GenBot. Thank you. -- 12:45, June 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, please can you mail us via Special:Contact, and we will have a look -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hi.
Hi Sannse! I saw on your User page that you are from the East Coast of England. What city? I came from Wolverhampton, and moved to the US in 2002.

- The Only One  Thank God, any more would be a disaster!


 * I lived in Clacton-on-sea, and moved to the US a year ago. And what a great move it was! -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ayuda
Perdón por escribir en español, pero necesito ayuda. Un usuario de wikia viene a mi página web a poner comentarios ofensivos. Se trata del usuario Pokemon shiny. Cada vez que borro sus comentarios pone otros nuevos. Yo ya dejé la wiki en la que él es administrador, así que quiero que él me deje tranquilo en mi web.

 * Sorry, but staff's members can not do anything about it because it is a topic unrelated to wikia. I suggest you speak with Pokemon shiny and reach an agreement. -- 21:33, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Session loss
There's been some serious problems with session loss on Uncyclopedia lately. Slightly more details can be found at your talkpage there. 81.165.225.23 22:31, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, the techs are looking in to the session loss problems... they seem to have improved, but they are still working on it. Sorry for the problems -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Caught up!
Sorry I've been slow on this page people, lots going on everywhere! Please remember that the best way to get staff help is via Special:Contact, there are more of us looking after that email than looking at this page :) And remember that you can get great help from other users on the Central Forums -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:27, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
