Atukamakirk 2.9
Atukamlitib has returned as Atukamakirk 2.9. He has already done around 50 counts of vandalism, and has received a permaban. However, this is getting to be a big problem. He will keep returning, I am certain of it. I think we should add him to the Spam Blacklist or something similar. And, can you please reply about the bot I'm thinking about?

 * Hi, I see Uberfuzzy has blocked the guy's IP.
 * On the bot... sorry for missing that. I'm confused as to why you would want to put a template on wanted pages.  There will be more than 1000 (that's just the limit for listing, once the top ones are gone others will show) and the idea of the page is that it shows you what articles might be useful to add.  If you create them with a template, then you won't have redlinks any more... and that means people will constantly be going to useless pages looking for content!  The redlinks are useful, and the wanted pages list is just a tool to help you decide which to add content to first -- sannse (talk) 18:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Grawp
Some users who are fed up with Grawp are planning Police action that could stop him once and for all. See here on Palaeos.

Grawp is causing problems for many users and administrators on many wikis. It’s not good for him that he can get away with such actions as threatening to rape and murder people. It’s not good for those who read distressing material that Grawp has written. Most of those on the receiving end of such threats will know that he’s thousands of miles away and won’t harm them. A few might get frightened. In any case reading that type of material is unpleasant. Can Wikia help deal with Grawp? Proxima Centauri 17:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

More about Grawp. Proxima Centauri 18:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * We can block him any time he causes problems on Wikia, but that's all I'm afraid. I always recommend the technique of "revert, block, ignore" for any vandal... or a discussion with your local police if you feel threatened in any way. -- sannse (talk) 18:42, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

User Wilberj
Hi Sannse can help me to get this user Wiberj off my back about thing because i am the head Adimmeter on Monster MASH and i have block him due tell on to run that site and i will be best if you like tell to leave alone --Wiezorek James 02:23, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, it looks like you need to talk to him rather than block him. Are pages being copied from Wikipedia without credit?  If so, you need to either remove them or give proper attribution.  I've added a template to MASH Wiki for you to use for this.  Just type  (replacing "name" with the source article name) on each copied article. -- sannse (talk) 18:48, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hi, Sannse. I request a Checkuser to check if  and  share the same IP address, due to a complain of all three being blocked by this block. I suspect that all three are the same person, and I think it would be worth to warn him to not have several accounts in use. Thanks! --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 20:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, now I found that Uberfuzzy is a checkuser. I've passed this request to him. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 12:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Banned
Why am I banned? How did I abuse my E-mail?--  ₪  ΔĢєŋŦGεиιυς  Yes, I am banned 22:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

And while we're on the subject, why is Happyface414 banned? Sh ee p m a n ! Sheepytalk 11:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

You've gone too far. I edit on the CPW. It's bad enough that every one there occasionally goes nuts and then bans everyone in sight for no reason. But now staff members have started mindlessly banned users as well. And before you contradict me, I can name two: HappyFace414 and AgentGenius. I mean seriously! I advise you unban them, because otherwise you will never get a moments peace from the CP Fanon wiki.

Yours in extreme anger, -- Sh ee p m a n ! Sheepytalk 11:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * HappyFace414 was blocked as he is too young to be allowed to edit Wikia. See Angela's talk page on ClubPenguin for more. AgentGenius was blocked for spamming Wikia with a large number of duplicate emails.  This is not acceptable behaviour. -- sannse (talk) 11:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry, I hadn't realised that Happyface had done that. I am sorry I sent quite that many E-Mails, I was very angry and you weren't replying to my questions here. Even so, I sent several times more E-Mails than I ment (I just cheked.) Please forgive me.

- Yours very apologeticly, -   ₪  ΔĢєŋŦGεиιυς  Yes, I am banned


 * Let's be clear here, this wasn't a mistake or an accident, you used some sort of a script to automatically send many emails a minute to our mailing system. I am not willing to discuss this further here, especially as you are evading your ban.  Perhaps we can review this in a few month's time... but for now you are not welcome on Wikia.  -- sannse (talk) 17:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Sorry for the outburst. I can see why Agentgenius was banned. But I looked at Angela's talk page, and there is nothing there to do with Happyface's age. Sh ee p m a n ! Sheepytalk 14:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I got the wikis confused. Angela explained the bans here.  Our terms of use say that you need to be 13 or older to use Wikia, and Happyface isn't.  I'm afraid there is nothing other than time that will change that -- sannse (talk) 17:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Legal threats information
Greetings, I'm Pfenner, a Nonciclopedia admin.

Occasionally we happen to receive legal threats involving our articles. The latest seems a serious one (although we are still not sure whether it is real). The point is, we (admins and community) have little knowledge on the subject of legal issues. All we want is to be able to deal with the next legal threat properly, so - if you don't mind - I have some questions for you:
 * In the terms of use there is this sentence: All legal action will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in the state of California, USA. Does this apply only to direct legal threats to Wikia, or is really any legal action against the content of any site hosted by Wikia also included?
 * Are users individually responsible and liable for what they write? And are they supposed to "be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in the state of California, USA." even if they are located outside the U.S. and the supposed offence in question has occurred outside the U.S.?
 * Could Wikia give us some form of legal assistance?
 * Who is, legally speaking, the target of a legal threat concerning an article? Is it the author? Is it the admins? Or is it the entire site?

I'm sorry for my poor English, and thank you in advance for the answers.. --Pfenner 20:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Pfenner, complicated questions :) Please remember in reading my answers that I am not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice.
 * Taking the last question first... any of those can be the target of a legal threat. Each of us is responsible for our own writings, and that should always be a consideration in what you put on the site.  Admins are a bad target in most cases, they don't generally have any responsibility for the actions of others on the site.  However, they do still have responsibility for their own actions (so, for example, if you were to replace a copyright violation and protect the page, that might be seen differently to you just not noticing a problem).  And of course, Wikia has certain responsibilities - for example to remove content promptly if we get a proper take-down notice.
 * Going up the list... yes, Wikia is able to look at any threat and may be able to give assistance. For example, in a recent case on the English Uncyclopedia we got a lawyer's letter but felt that a page could clearly be defended as parody.  So we got our lawyers to write to the complaining person's lawyers to say so.  Of course it depends on the situation each time, and most complaints can be dealt with a lot more easily than that.  But the option is there if we need it.
 * And for the first (last) question... this applies to any action taken against Wikia, relating to any site hosted by Wikia. But, of course, we would have no control over someone suing an English user in an English court over their actions on Wikia or any other site.  That goes back to personal responsibility for your actions.
 * In general, I would say your first step is to look at any complaint with common sense and see if you can resolve the dispute. For example, if it's a page written by students calling their teacher names... do you really need it on the site? So a quick deletion and ban of any students replacing it should fix the problem.  Copyright issues are easy too, another quick deletion should end any complaints.  But if there are any complaints that worry you or you can't resolve, then I would recommend that you tell the person to contact community@wikia.com and the Community Team will help.
 * Let me know if you have more questions :) -- sannse (talk) 11:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the answers, they were useful. :) In this case the threat is against this article (a parody article of an animal rights association) and basically, it involves a supposed defamation, even if there is no real defamatory content in the article. We think (and the author agrees) not to delete any part of this until a further notification, and we'll let you know about that. Thanks again! --Pfenner 14:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Infobox help on Dewback Wing Wikia
I am trying to get another infobox to look right, but for osme reason, the text int he infobox is the same color as the background. It is located here and the infobox it I am using is Droid Infobox. Uberfuzzy helped me, but the box still in not working correctly. Can you possibly show me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

--Compile 21:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I got the problem fixed.--Compile 02:10, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Glad you sorted it :) don't forget you can get help from other users on the forum or on IRC -- sannse (talk) 11:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Page Problems
Just wanted to remind you of this discussion on asterisks messing up formatting on pages. We're still having this problem, the latest page is here. Please see previous discussion for other links to pages this has happened to. Do the techs know if this is being caused by the new WYSIWYG editor or something else? Our users are getting frustrated with pages being messed up. Thanks! &mdash; Jeiara 22:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminder Jeiara. I'm going to be looking at this either today or tomorrow, and will make sure the tech team know it's a priority!  -- sannse (talk) 11:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, can you turn off the new editor, until things are sorted out? &mdash; Jeiara 19:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I've done that -- sannse (talk) 09:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Move
Could you please move OnePiece to One Piece? The actual name does include a space, but since this page was not a move redirect, I cannot move the page back. Please and thank you! 02:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem... that's done -- sannse (talk) 11:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Abandoned Wiki
Sardapedia has unfortunately been abandoned by its original Bureaucrat. I've have been asked and volunteered to become a sysop in his absence for protection from vandals, which are abundant. My page is here. I was recommended here, and I volunteered here (different wiki). Thank you for your time. Scathe Mote
 * I am supporting his nomination and hopes that Sardapedia gets a sysop as soon as possible. &mdash; BLUER   一番 .   14:16, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind, the Bureaucrat of the site finally replied to my question. Thank you anyway. Scathe Mote
 * I'd've thought the ideal situation would be for the wiki to get another Bureaucrat.? I Lion Heart I 20:35, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Assistance requested
We've had a bit of a problem on the RuneScape Clans Wiki. A user by the name of Btzkillerv basically went into a blind rage yesterday and blatantly attacked more than one user after his clan page was vandalized. I had issued him a 1 day block to allow him to calm down and now this is turning into a mess. I'm being threatened by him and I don't want to issue another block that will only serve to anger him more. Would you mind taking a look and possibly commenting to help calm things down?

Here are the revisions that caused me to issue the block:


 * Here
 * Here

Followed by a bunch of personal attacks and blatant abuse on Btzkillerv's talk page.

Thank you, Soldier 1033 22:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * sigh* Never-mind. I've had to issue an infinite block for his latest behavior and after discussing it with Azaz. Thanks anyways. Soldier 1033 00:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Some Questions
Hi Sannse, I posted some questions on your talk page over at the MySims wiki and your user page said I should also post here so I doing just that! Here's what I wrote: Hi! I have a few questions.. Thanks and have a nice day. ^end of message. A response on my talk page (on MySims wiki) would be much appreciated and thank you!--Mistertrouble189 03:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Is this site's admin User:Darkrudie?
 * How could I rename a page?
 * How could I delete a page?


 * Replied at My Sims. -- 03:31, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Tabs again
Hey do you know if there is a way to link to the same article and have a different tab open each time? There is a page ,, and I want to link it in the MySims and MySims Kingdom sections but to a differnt tab each time. Thanks. --Rbfskywalker 12:32, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Rbfskywalker


 * Page, tab, and window behavior are normally browser dependent, there's no real easy way to tell the software in terms of links. Dependent on browser you can right-click and choose to open in a new tab or window or shift-click, you'd have to check the tab settings in your browser's preferences. -- 18:47, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Wrong tabs :). Look further up the page and you will see the kind I mean!--Rbfskywalker 12:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, Tab view, not just Tabs, big difference! :) In regards to your actual question, I'm not exactly sure I understand what you mean by having it use a different tab each time. -- 13:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I will try explain again. On our main page we have links to the main pages about each game and one of them is Essences. What I would like is when it is clicked on under 'MySims' it goes to the MySims tab and whe it is clicked on under 'MySims Kingdom' it does to the MySims Kingdom tab.--Rbfskywalker 17:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It sounds like you want to do more with the feature than is possible... sorry -- sannse (talk) 21:26, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Forums and Forumadmin
Hi Sannse,

Would it be possible to create forums for the RuneScape Clans Wiki like the forums on the RuneScape Wiki? If so, these are the forums we'd like along with a short description in parenthesis (don't add the text in parenthesis to the forum title):

RuneScape Clans Wiki (for discussing the wiki) Clans Discussion (for discussing everything clans) Help Desk (questions and answers) Off-Topic (for anything that doesn't fit in the other forums)

Also, would it be possible to create the Forum Admin group and allow b'crats to give and take away this right from users like on the RS Wiki?

Thanks for your time, Soldier 1033 01:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, the phpBB forums aren't something we are offering at the moment. Have you looked at wiki style forums? -- sannse (talk) 21:30, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Those are similar to the forums we have (you can view them here) but we were looking for something more advanced. Soldier 1033 22:18, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

English Dofus Wiki Replace function
hi Sannse some one maybe from the tech team may have been doing something on our wiki some one reset back our $wgStringFunctionsLimitReplace from 66 to 30, could this be change back to 66 please?, in any case i have use the Special:Contact at Dofus wiki if you required one (possible that i send more than 1 report i was having issues with the reload of the page) thanks

IP look up
Hello Sannse. When you have a few moments, could you please run a CheckUser search on the IP anon user 94.69.2.218 and see if the IPs are the same as the ones belonging to George Skywalker and Darth Vukure, all three of which are from the Star Wars Fanon Wiki? Thank you! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:27, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Brandon, it looks like there's a match. Darth Renetus, Darth Kaarlus, Michael the Meseger, Mandalore the Barbarian are others that look like the same guy.  There may be others, but the IP range is very large so it's difficult to say for sure.  You could block 94.69.0.0/16 but that is quite likely to affect other users.  Sorry not to be more help -- sannse (talk) 22:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

That actually does help. Those are all sockpuppets of the same blocked user. Thank you for your help! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:38, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser on Stephenie Meyer Wiki
Sannse, I need you to do a checkuser on User:FoShizzle, User:1337pwnxor, User:Fishyman, User:Theizzykitty, User:FireMirage, User:Beckwithalexis, User:Halomaniac117, User:OscarMeyerWeiner, User:FKU, User:FreeFallForAll and User:31337roxxor in the Stephenie Meyer Wiki. They're all vandal-only accounts, and I need to know whether they are editing or being mass-created from open proxies or from a range of IPs. And are admins able to rangeblock in Wikia wikis? - æaм fæтsoи 02:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay, I've been unwell... I've checked these accounts, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern or range.  Either they are unconnected, or they are using open proxies.  It is possible to block a range, but there isn't one in this case, so it's just going to be a case of banning each as they appear. -- sannse (talk) 09:46, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Adoption page orphaned?
Hi, sorry but it seems that the Miss working in the Wikia adoption page has gone missing for more than 5 days, can someone take over? FusionFaller 16:16, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Ban from all wikis ?
Hi, I'm Psychoparten from the Désencyclopédie. I banned someone who spammed the wiki (well... I guess it's spam). But I saw that he/she did the same on the latin uncyclopedia. Is it possible for you to ban the IP 194.8.75.151 from all wikis or something like that ? Thx. --Psychoparten 16:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, that's done -- sannse (talk) 09:48, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Username change request
I would like to request that my username be changed. I understand the consequences of this and some problems which may come out of this. However I would feel much more comfortable editing on Wikia with a made up name instead of my real name. Please change my username to Knowzilla Thank you. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 09:28, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Here is a the link to a diff which proves that the username Knowzilla has been reserved by me and is not run by another person. . I hope you can rename me soon, thank you for reading. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 15:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, we can't change usernames at the moment it's harder here on Wikia because of the shared user database.  We hope to have a tool to do this sometime in the future.  For now, I suggest you just start using your new account.  If you want to, you can link the accounts with a message on your user pages, but that's up to you of course.  I can change any user rights you want to switch over -- sannse (talk) 09:51, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Is there no way at all to do this? Just out of curiosity: Why does a shared user database make is harder? :|. If theres absolutely no way to do it, then I guess I'll decide what to do. Thanks for replying. :) --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 11:25, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not a techy type, so I don't know all the details... but basically it's about various logs and records on 10,000 wikis needing to be checked and changed to ensure the name change doesn't leave any problems. So a new account is the way to go - although, as I said, I hope that one day we will have a better way.  Sorry -- sannse (talk) 14:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Fable Wiki - Administrators
Currently, there are no active administrators on Fable Wiki; so we held a few RFAs here. Based on the tally User:Michaeldsuarez and User:GW-Shadowphoenix are to be promoted (becuase we got more than just the nominators vote, unlike the other nominees.). You can check our contributions on Fable Wiki here and here. I suggest promoting Michaeldsuarez to bureaucrat because of he got majority of the votes (and we need one there). Thank you very much! -- Shadowphoenix  17:22, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

 * That's not a link to an image, that URL leads to http://.(com|net|org)/notify/2.php which seems to be a 403 - Forbidden error based on the source code. Are you sure this server is accessible publicly? If you're trying to show us a screenshot of a bug on Wikia, you could consider using a more public free image hosting site or even uploading it to the wiki in question and simply deleting it later. -- 18:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

CR Wiki
Hi Sannse! I was wondering if you could change the project name-space on the CR Wiki from Commonwealth Realms Wiki to simply CRW (and Commonwealth Realms Wiki Talk to CRW Talk), as the current one is too long to be practical. I also was wondering if you could have http://crw.wikia.com redirect to http://commonwealth.wikia.com which would be useful and helpful to get to pages on the wiki fast when typing in the address bar. Thank you! --Knowzilla 11:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

An additional request: Sorry to ask more of you, but could you also please disable the New edit window feature on the CR Wiki? It's causing me a lot of problems and my browser literally shut down about 20 times now! Could you please replace it with the traditional old edit window? Since I have to get the wiki up and running as the founder. Its really slowing down my work. Thanks. --Knowzilla 16:36, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, The namespace is changed and the redirect done. Can you look again at the edit window changes? There were several tweaks yesterday to fix release problems, that may have fixed your issues with it.  If not, please let me know -- sannse (talk) 12:19, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the namespace change and the redirect! The edit window appears to be working okay now. :) --Knowzilla 12:35, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh dear, the new edit window is causing problems again. At this rate I'll never be able to start up the wiki. Please restore the old edit window for now on the CR Wiki. Thank you. --Knowzilla 13:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope you restore the old window soon. There seems to be some kind of error with the moving bar (the area with the summary, save page, etc) on the CR Wiki. It's really getting to be a problem in my editing. -- Hoping for a quick restore, thanks. --Knowzilla 16:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's off... but can you explain more about what you see? We haven't had a lot of reports of this causing problems, and most of those we had were right at the start before we made adjustments.  It would be helpful if you could give as much information as possible, so that we can make this work for everyone!  Many thanks -- sannse (talk) 09:27, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

He's back
Hello Sannse, a few weeks ago you blocked a vandal and his ip who was impersonating a user named Luckytoilet. Unfortunately he's back with accounts CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4... etc. Your help is greatly appreciated and needed.--Azaz129 19:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Now that there has been a break in vandalism, here's some context. --Azaz129 20:02, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've blocked his IP - but that's a proxy, so he may be back with a new one. There's actually  a block on that range already, which you may want to consider widening to logged in users too. -- sannse (talk) 09:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, I've reblocked the range to include logged in users, I'll be sure to inform you if there are any further issues. Also, while I'm here, have you noticed any problems with the # numbering function as of late?


 * Anyplace this is used appears as 1. rather than actually counting, I began noticing the problem a week or two ago.--Azaz129 21:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, there's a problem with IE with monobook at the moment - it's making numbering go wrong. I understand the fix is done, and should go live tomorrow - so hopefully it will be back to normal then.  Sorry for the problem -- sannse (talk) 13:40, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, it's aliased, so not a pure colour.. but it looks like the main colour is #5a83d6 (this might change though, it will probably need updating sometime soon) -- sannse (talk) 12:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Sysop
Erm sannse, could you remove my sysop flag on genealogy. It's really starting to get annoying that every global message sent to me comes through genalogy because I have a sysop flag there, when I don't even participate in the wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jan 26, 2009 @ 23:51 (UTC)


 * Then you'll get the message on another random wiki you have sysop on ;) - not exactly sure what the criterion is for selection, however -- 00:00, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Done. I think the message shows on the first wiki by ID number that you have admin rights on.  Genealogy is a pretty old wiki (ID: 40) so that's why you got it there.  Anime is 48, so my guess is that you will get the message there in future. -- sannse (talk) 08:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

RuneScape Wiki Vandal
Morning Sannse. For a while, we've had a vandal re-making accounts as CS1, CS2, etc. Well, today he's made 4 so far, and is causing us much grief. Could we get a checkuser on : CS6, CS7, CS8, CS9 please. Thank you. 16:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It appears Kirkburn has taken care of our problem. 17:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Good good. -- sannse (talk) 18:50, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you again Sannse, but I have some information that might be helpful for our staff to have. Read this for more information regarding what we potentially may be dealing with in a short period of time. Just wanted to give you a heads up, and please let me know if there is any way I may help. 04:20, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Karlis, thanks for letting me know of this. I've talked it over with Kirkburn too.  I think all we can do at the moment is keep vigilant, and keep fixing problems and blocking as needed.  Don't forget that you can often find staff help on IRC in an emergency, I'll be online at times over the weekend and in the Wikia IRC channel.  I'll also make sure I check in to look for talk page messages and help as I can.  Eventually these kiddies get tired of the silly games, so this will pass in time :) -- sannse (talk) 18:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Sourcing
Good afternoon. You delivered at polite plagiarism warning three days ago to fringe.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Matias_arana_10 about content theft.

Apologize
Hi, I know I've taken information of Fringepedia and wanted to apologize, and I know I deserve the banning. I'll will never do that again, and I'm not trying to make the banning go by sending this message, I just wanted to apologize.

I have a problem here, as I am blocked as well, even though I did nothing. Somehow, this person has the same IP as me, and I can't make edits. Please help.

RE:Atukam
The "Atukam" user has created about 10 accounts already on BIONICLEPedia. If you could please hand over his IP so he can be blocked on BP (I'll hand the IP to ToaAuserv, a friend of mine and administrator there). The Atukam user is getting out of hand, and is wasting your resources by creating these accounts. I suggest that you either hand the IP to the BP admins to block, or add the IP as a domain ban, seeing as he's a threat to all the wikis. I know, the ban can't be infinite, but it has to be long enough that the Atukam will eventually get bored and quit.

Sincerely,

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/custombionicle/images//6/6b/TheOracle_Sig.png 01:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, there are three IPs involved, and not in the same range. They don't appear to be open proxies, so they may be either the same guy on two or more computers (with three ISPs) or two or more guys working together.  I would recommend you ban 68.183.92.158 / 76.7.180.50 / 76.95.229.131 and contact us if you need any new accounts looking at -- sannse (talk) 12:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Pro wrestling wiki
Have you ever visited the pro wrestling wiki? I say its violating the wikia rules. Its just a porn wiki. They have mostly focused on women in bikini or very less clothes. Do something about it! 09:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I know it's a bit risqué, that's a part of female wrestling, but I wouldn't describe it as porn.  This isn't one that needs staff intervention -- sannse (talk) 12:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Could I have either rollback or admin?
Hello there.

I have been quite active in the Spanish Wikia and Spanish is my first language. I have also edited some parts of the English one because I also speak English. Lately, I have noticed many players vandalizing the Spanish wikia by editing the whole page and replacing it with URL of random websites; probably malicious one.

So, I wanted to ask if I either have rollback or admin power. I speak Spanish perfectly and I will continue to do until time tells.

Thanks for your time, Sannse. :)

P.S. The part that was vandalized was 'Cooking,' in the Spanish section. I edited it back.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a bureaucrat on the Spanish RS Wiki. I've asked him/her myself. Thanks!

V R4ng3r V2 22:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, the the bureaucrat isn't active, try Wiki adoption requests :) -- sannse (talk) 12:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

User Check
Could you check if Matias arana 10 is the same as Dark Kights? You recently block matias arana 10 for plagiarism, I wanted to check if it is the same person. &mdash; 02:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't say for certain... they are on the same range, but there is no direct IP match. I would suggest just keeping a watch for now, to see if there are any problems with their edits -- sannse (talk) 12:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Deleting "all pages created by" a specific account
I am not sure who did it, but someone created an account called User:This page has lots of consecutive edits which are hiding other pages from Special:RecentChanges. These edits should be patrolled. Oh no! Look at me go!!! I'll do it!!!! and created a lot of vandalism. It happened on w:c:dragonrp and the user is probably the same as User:Nodsd (perhaps, and only perhaps, something like 82.56.131.54 guessing (but only guessing) that all vandalism on the wiki is from one person). It seems that the administrator misunderstood something and now, I am not sure if User:Mighty Erick is going to read what happened, but I hope so. Both User:Nodsd and the user with the long username are probably automatic vandals, if that is the case, requiring not autoconfirmed users to prove to be people when making more than a specific amount of edits in a specific time would stop it. Lars (Poet) (speak page) 15:22, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately this was Mighty Erick, who seems to be doing some very strange things at the moment. His admin rights on that wiki have been removed now, and the account you mention has been blocked.  Uberfuzzy also deleted the pages, but that's filled Recent Changes in itself.  We will keep monitoring the situation to see how we can help -- sannse (talk) 12:36, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

CBW/BP Move
I'm not really sure why you don't understand this, but the move doesn't concern itself only with the ads. Its far more than that.

If you could please just allow us to move, because the community did vote to move. You're only holding us back.

Now, I've known you for a bit now, and you're helpful. But its not you. Its just that BP and CBW are moving on now.

If you could also read my email, it would be great. After setting up the site, I'll ask that you update the database dumps and image archives.

Sincerely,

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/custombionicle/images//6/6b/TheOracle_Sig.png 22:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I replied to your email, was there a problem there? or did you send a second? Please see the forum topic for more comments to you and the community. As always, you have the right to move, but that doesn't mean you can close the wiki behind you... there are other users and readers to think of as well. -- sannse (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I sent a second. As for the moving, I think you have to respect the vote. According to your Closed Wiki policy, a wiki that is moving can be closed on Wikia if the decision is unanimous. This was the case at CBW, and I think you should respect that. As for BP, only the topic would change to sets only, which, personally, I don't think is much of a deal. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/custombionicle/images//6/6b/TheOracle_Sig.png 22:13, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you need to look at the closed wiki page again. As it says there, we will keep a wiki open if there is a community who may want to edit (and with just two people voting to go, seems likely to me there will be) or if we think it can be adopted (and I think if the current admins choose to go, someone else will be willing to take on the wiki).  There is no need to close this wiki, there is still a future for a Custom Bionicle wiki on Wikia.  Please also see the discussion on the Bionicle wiki. -- sannse (talk) 09:31, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Spam blacklist

Some questions
Hello, I'm a Nonciclopedia admin. I have some questions: Thanks for the interest. MFHTalk 18:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you please remove the users Devil Kaiser and Mr.Bean from the sysop group? They have been absent for too much time.
 * Can you flag the user MFHbot as bot?
 * We were curious to know if it is possible, and what is needed, to be a little more "independent", I mean, if we can remove users from sysop and bureaucrat groups, create and delete namespaces, install extensions and such things.


 * Hi, I've made the rights changes (I'm assuming you have community agreement for them!)
 * On extra abilities for admins... it's something that we have been discussing. Extensions wouldn't be possible, because some extensions can have serious effects on the site as a whole, but it might be possible to increase admin or bureacrat's abilities to make other changes.  The main limitation is technical time to build a feature that is safe and easy to use.  I'll let you know if and when we come up with something -- sannse (talk) 19:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course, we voted here and here for the removal of the sysop rights, and a new bot is needed, since most of the old ones are now inactive. Thanks for answering my questions too. --MFHTalk 23:14, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

what is a Edit count
hey sannse just ask you what is a Edit count that you can see in preferences page were you put your real name and email than under edit count you can submit and i am asking you does it go. --Wiezorek James 00:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't really understand the question - there is an edit count link in your preferences, that leads to a table that shows how many edits you have on Wikia -- sannse (talk) 16:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Trouble with template from Wikia Templates
I'm having trouble with Template:Infobox/doc not looking the same as at Wikia Templates. I've imported all the other templates that are needed to go with it. Could you do something about it before February 17 when Wikia:Christianity will be switched to the new parser. User:Kathleen.wright5 at Wikia:Christianity 09:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, that was a tricky one! There was a line break in one of the sub-templates.  Kirkburn found it though.  In the process I switched the wiki to the new parser, so please look out for any problems.  I'll do some checks now to see if there are any I can find -- sannse (talk) 17:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Help
on the Bakugan wiki there is this user called Generalgrievous112 who is harrasing my talk page (See in the history) please ban him and tell me when so that I know I'm safe --Ventress112 17:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Is grievous banned on the Bakugan wiki? and now the Indiana jones wiki.


 * I see this is someone you know off line. And it seems you have both been playing games.  This needs to stop now.  If it continues, it's likely I will ban both of you.  It also looks like you need to ignore him more.  If you refuse to react, rather than posting on multiple admins and staff pages to complain, it makes it a lot less fun for him... and then he is more likely to stop.  But my main advice is to sort this out off-line, where it started. -- sannse (talk) 19:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser
Hi, when you have time, could you run a CheckUser on Grand Master Caedus on Star Wars Fanon please? He's suspected to be a sockpuppet of Darth Kieduss the Wise. Thanks. Drewton ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, looks like it... and also of Jedi Master Herrington. The IP isn't always the same, but all three are on 68.190.46.152 - so you may want to block that -- sannse (talk) 18:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the sockpuppet account has been banned. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Auto block
Hi! I got this message from Mobutu4:

Hey, I've been autoblocked because KrazyKat has been using my IP. I have no idea how, but now I can't edit there anymore. Please resolve the issue. Thanks. - Mobutu4

I don't really know what has happened and I can't help him either. He edits on the Ratchet & Clank wiki and the user "KrazyKat" is currently known as "Lombax Jerk".

So I need to ask for your help, please. HiQu | My talk 11:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've removed the block that seemed to be causing the problem... I'm not sure why it was triggered though, most strange -- sannse (talk) 10:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Need to revoke admin status
I have a user named ThatFellow on my wiki. Up until recently, I hadn't had any problems with him as far as editing or causing trouble. However, now he's been abusing his powers by taking credit for other admins' pages and adding little to no relevant content to the wiki. We've all agreed that he must be dealt with. Would you mind removing his admin status? Thank you.

~Spike's Girl from the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses wiki


 * It doesn't look to me as though you have actually talked to the guy. Although you may have done off-wiki of course.  I would say that should be your first step here... it's always better to resolve such problems though discussion.  Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 10:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, we HAVE talked to him. Numerous times, in fact. He just refuses to listen to a word we say. It's obvious to everyone he doesn't care about what he's doing. We'd really appreciate it if you could just remove his status...

~Spike's Girl (TGWTG wiki)
 * Hi, please could you link me to the relevant talk pages? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Are you referring to the user we're having problems with? If so, then his talk page is here.

~Spike's Girl (TGWTG wiki)

Hello, I'm Cferra. I'm a co-admin hired by Spike's Girl when the TGWTG wiki was created. I was the one who banned ThatFellow because he rolled back a page he created to himself after it was deleted by another administrator, after telling him the content was not related to the site's purpose. Which is to be a database for information regarding thatguywiththeglasses.com While we staff members have profile pages, this man had created a page dedicated to advertising himself and his website/videos. He spent more time working on that page than anything else.

We talked to ThatFellow numerous times about his page and asked him to be more of a team player. He never talked to us and kept to himself. This talking was all done off of the wikia and he denied any wrongdoing when he took credit for my work. He and other users have also had edit wars with him. The problems continued to persist until measures had to be taken and he was fired. He was also banned for a year due to his conduct. We don't feel he was a team player. We gave him numerous chances and as a result, he has met us with defiance off of the wiki.

We ask that he is to be de-adminned because he doesn't seem to work well with the team. He just wants to focus on his own agenda and not that of the site as a whole as he wants to advertise his own site and not work on anything related to thatguywiththeglasses.com.

-Cferra (TGWTG Wiki)

In addition, his actions on the main thatguywiththeglasses.com site were inexcusable. The man was so desperate to get his work featured that he pestered several site members and even asked his entire YouTube fanbase to spam the admin with e-mails to force himself onto the site. As a result, the admin personally called him out in a news message about his disgraceful conduct. He also holds a grudge against several other admins because he feels that they are conspiring against him. (this is not the case, I know these admins and they are nice people) These are not the actions of a responsible person who should be editing a Wiki.

- Film Brain (TGWTG Wiki)


 * OK, that's done. -- sannse (talk) 20:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. For some reason he still seems to be located under the sysops list. Does this take time to tak effect or something?

-Cferra (TGWTG Wiki)


 * Yes, that list is updated about once a day. It's cleared for me now, but look out for browser cache too.  If you still see him listed, you may need to clear your cache to see the current list -- sannse (talk) 11:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Revoked Admin?
o.o why did you just revoke my Bureaucrats/Sysops? Kitten of Doom is a new admin with only a couple edits to http://cityofheroes.wikia.com where as I've been an admin for several yrs now and have hundred of contributions.--Sleepy Kitty 12:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I understood that you and the others I removed rights for had moved to another wiki... is that wrong? If so, I'll restore your rights -- sannse (talk) 13:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The ones who moved on have all listed on their user pages that they have done so. I'm still semi active here (its a pretty low volume wiki now) and check to see if anything needs doing about every other day. I'm also a Bureaucrats/Sysops over at the Tabula Rasa wiki as well so I was a bit surprised to suddenly get demoted at one and not the other without any warning on any of my user talk pages. --Sleepy Kitty 21:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I should have been more careful. I'm put your rights there back -- sannse (talk) 14:36, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry to bother you again, KoD seems very hostile towards myself so I'm going to save everyone the trouble (too late, I know) and just call it quits for now. I'll finish cleaning up my hoax and user page images later (fingers cramping from the repeated motions) tonight. If the wiki ends up needing admins again later on, my email should be on record with the wiki and I'll still be checking my other user pages on occasion. Best Wishes -SK --Sleepy Kitty 20:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Image problems lately
Hey Sannse,

Did something happen to images? Suddenly I'm able to see only some of the images on a page, and can't see the big ones at all. Refreshing, clearing page cache, and using a different browser all don't help. (I'm on Conworld wikia.) Tel Loiryn 14:59, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We have had some recent cache issues due to the new London servers, but that's usually to do with updating images. Please could you link me to specific images you are having a problem with?  Do you see anything in place of the images? Any error messages? Also, could you let me know what country you are editing from (this affects which server you use).  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
