performance
Do you guys monitor performance of each wiki? Over the next couple of days I'd like to monitor the performance and server strain caused by DPL: We currently have templates generating DPL-navigational lists based on parameters, and I'd like to determine whether using constants (transcluding articles with the lists) will mean less strain on the server. (wiki: tibia, template: c:tibia:Template:Infobox Item) -- Sixorish 21:49, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I asked some people. they dont track stats that closely, but they did say they would keep an eye on the charts to see if it went up or down any large amount. --Uberfuzzy 03:59, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll make the changes over the next couple of days. Thanks -- Sixorish 00:09, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Finalized template changes; just the job queue to update those articles and it should be a little more efficient. I didn't do the method mentioned above though: just substituting the DPL entirely across some 20 templated lists. I'd still like to know if it makes that much of an improvement though. -- Sixorish 03:08, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No one has mentioned much of a load change, but ever since we added code to kill off dpl queries that run for very long times (some were taking over 15 minutes!) most small use dpl hasnt been a problem. i'm more curious to see if your users notice a speed improvement for the pages loading/saving. --Uberfuzzy 08:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Were the 15-minute DPL queries on TibiaWiki? The change was more quantity than quality. I theorized that DPL wasn't coded to cache global data for other articles to use, and each article had a uniquely cached list. There were 1300 articles using cached DPL calls, which would make 1300 dynamic lists to update on a regular basis. But many of these lists haven't updated yet, the slowness of the job queue probably plays a major factor in why it had little effect... btw: active users bug@Special:Statistics -- Sixorish 03:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * No, not at tibia at all. Some wikis had some dpl stuff that made your stuff look tame. Yeah, seems there might be an issue with the job queue system right now (last few days), had a few reports of job counts not going down, so that might be part of it. And thanks for pointing out the active users thing, another bug ticket for me tonight. --Uberfuzzy 03:53, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser
Hey Uberfuzzy, could you check a few IPs for me? I need to know if there are any IP matches between User:Cyberstrike2000x (this will redirect you to Cyberstrike3000x, just to avoid any confusion you might have), User:Cyberstrike3000X, User:Cyberstrike4000x, User:Cyberstrike5000x, User:Cyberstrike5000x fat ass, User:Cyberstrike6000x, and User:Cyberstrike6000x fat ass. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:00, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You have no idea how happy I am to see that Babylon 8 was tied to all of this. He's been a constant disruption on our wiki, so I'm very glad to see him gone. Normally I hate to ban users but this was just a guy who had to go. Thanks for your help man. EDIT: Just a quick question - was Cyberstrike2000x/Cyberstrike3000X involved with this? Those are previously established accounts, so I want to make sure. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll double check later, there were so many of them (some unused), I didnt really pay attention to which numbers were editing. --Uberfuzzy 08:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

User:76.247.222.101
Hi can you please unblock that IP Address? That IP is actually nobody uses except me thank you.(Saffy Nurbs 19:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC))
 * Are you 100% sure no one else other then you uses that IP? So all actions done on that IP recently are you? --Uberfuzzy 20:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes I'm 100% sure. Also I'm a good user and I did nothing wrong to the other wikis.(Saffy Nurbs 20:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC))

Monaco Banners...
Hate to be a bother, but y'see, I'm changing some things around on another Wikia (Sonic News Network), and I've got the red moncaco banners seen here, and here respectively, from another wikia (Shadow Spy Net), but I can't seem to stumble upon blue, or any other colors for that matter. If you know where the links are, could you direct to the them? Thanks in advance!  SLJCO  AAATR  So  ul  23:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Complaints
I have two complaints about you and your editing of my wiki, the Michelin I-Spy Wikia.


 * 1) You have taken away my bureaucrat status on the wiki. I am now unable to remove administrator rights from users who have been spamming/vandalizing/etc. I am the creator of the wiki and I strongly object to having my user rights removed from me. I am now unable to edit my wiki because you have blocked my computer's IP address on the same day. I now think you have something against me for some reason.
 * 2) You have also blocked the user 'Dragonfree97' across all wikis. He may have spammed my wiki and his own (the How to Train your Dragon Wiki) but he has e-mailed me to say sorry and has sworn to never spam again. However, he is the third most active contributor on the Animal Crossing Wiki and this block is preventing him from keeping his excellent reputation there up. I have tried my utmost to unblock him but to no avail. The administrators of the aforementioned Animal Crossing Wiki have tried to unblock him, but it did not work as it said that he was not blocked.

I do not like either of these things which have happened as Dragonfree97 is my friend from school and he feels very sad about this.

Yours sincerely, Quinny898
 * I have blocked dragonfree97 across all wikis because on 2 wikis, he was vandalizing the menu, mainpage, sitenotice, and impersonating wikia staff trying to shut the wiki down

 * http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=Dragonfree97
 * also at howtotrainyourdragon.wikia, he was attempting to turn the wiki into something about a school bus?

Your bureaucrat status was removed to prevent you from readding him/other accounts at the wiki, because you were also a perfect match for his ip and other data, and was found to be matching the accounts vandalizing at i-spy wiki.

Anti Walrus Wiki
Is it possible for you to restore the Anti Walrus Wiki just for a 24 hour period and then delete it again? I took your advice and hosted it on a different site, but I just need to move the content pages over.

Blocked?
Hello, this is Cyberstrike2000X/User:Cyberstrike3000X. It appears that I have been blocked from editing Wikia, but I haven't edited any pages in days! After some research it appears that it stems from a series of impersonator accounts on the Star Wars Fanon wiki. Whenever I try to edit a page on any wiki I get this message:

''Your user name or IP address has been blocked.

The block was made by Uberfuzzy. The reason given is vandalism.


 * Start of block: 19:30, 18 May 2009
 * Expiry of block: 19:30, 18 May 2010
 * Intended blockee: Cyberstrike3000X

You can contact Uberfuzzy or another administrator to discuss the block. You cannot use the 'e-mail this user' feature unless a valid e-mail address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 74.240.248.27, and the block ID is #3192.''

 * You should be good to go now. --Uberfuzzy 07:38, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that worked. Cyberstrike3000X 11:23, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
