Odyssey Online wiki
Just a note for people following this issue - the wiki has been restarted to clear it from the porn and vandalism left by its previous users. I do believe there is potential for this wiki to be a useful resource for the game, but it needs to be looked after by people who will welcome newcomers and help to ensure this wiki can become a thriving community. For now, there will be no admins, and I have blocked Tyler Warren from editing due to his abuse of admin privileges and offensive behaviour towards other users. I encourage anyone interested in the game to attempt to revive this wiki with great content. Angela (talk) 11:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Just out of interest, have you regexblocked him? From what I can see of others comments he seems to cause trouble for a few wikis. -- Manticore  Talk 17:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did, after he made this threat to vandalise. Angela (talk) 23:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Interwiki language links for same project
I mentioned this in my e-mail the other day, but it seems typing, for example, wiki/Articlename would bypass the incorrect linking. However this seems unnecessary considering it doesn't work that way on other wikia projects with multiple languages. Is there a way to toggle it so that it incorporates /wiki automatically? -- 03:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how to do that, but I'll let Tor know about the problem since he was working on the ffxi import. Angela (talk) 04:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Odyssey Wikia New Message Notification
Thank you for asking. I am still getting the "New Message" notification for Odyssey wiki.Ilyas Talk04:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry about this. It must be really annoying. I'll try to get it fixed as soon as possible. Angela (talk) 04:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Novelas
Yes, a staff member did resolve the issue a while ago. Hopefully the same problem won't come back. Thanks for your concern! --Yunzhong Hou14:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Reviews Wiki
Hi you see, i wanted a wikia called Reviews Wiki but we already have a wiki on that topic, and that wiki is like a "deserted" wiki. It basically doesn't have much people and the bureucrat hasn't done anything since 2005. Some person said I should ask you if I can have sysop privleges there, so can I?

Date formatting
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to force the date produced via and RSS feeds of Recent Changes / Article History to be presented in numerical Asian format (YYYY/MM/DD) so that it can be easily sorted automatically. American format would be a backup second choice (still useful if all the dates are within the same year). The DD/MM/YYYY (currently used by ) and YYYY/DD/MM (currently used by )formats limits automated sorting to dates within the same month for the result to be meaningful, which I find a bit restrictive on a number of occasions. Thanks. -PanSola 23:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Have you tried changing the date options in your preferences? Does that help? Angela (talk) 04:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * My user preferences is set to the "2001-01-15T16:12:34" format (5th choice). However, that is having no effect on the dates for the Recent Changes or Article History from the rss2wiki extension feed, nor on the 4/5 -squigelys . PanSola 19:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I changed to that option in my preferences and now I see dates like 2007-10-31 in recent changes and 2006-09-25T05:06:55 in page histories. This is not consistent with what Wikimedia's help pages claim that option will do. Angela (talk) 05:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Impartial mediator for cross-wiki issues
Well, of course that is what a single wiki would do. I'm not going into that. But what I was thinking of was one for when 5 or so people from 3 or so wiki come here. Some from one wiki, others from another, and one of them possibly even administrating another wiki. And have a long repetitive debate about one of them causing issues on other wiki. ie: Being blocked on one or two, and then blocking the blockers on their own wiki, and such. The issues where a single wiki can't handle it because the issue isn't part of the wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 4, 2007 @ 20:12 (UTC)


 * Do you mean there should be a central group of mediators for all wikis, or something else? Angela (talk) 03:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey
I am a recently sysopped user from RuneScape Wiki (you may remember me from the Odyssy Online Wiki fiasco), and I would like you to know that ChristineV has stepped over the line for flaming and personal attacks. She is a VERY valuable user, but I am sick and tired of her rudeness and perpetual shortness with other users. Just wanted you to know that. --Stinkowing 22:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Does that wiki have a no personal attacks policy? Perhaps something like that would help. Angela (talk) 03:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Blacklist title list
From what I've experienced in the past, the entries don't get updated immediately. When I added Viewforum.php, it only blocked the page the next day. GHe (Talk) 01:07, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The user is still going. Should I keep an eye on it, delete, and make local blacklists where applicable? GHe (Talk) 01:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, a local blacklist page is useful anyway, even if the cross-wiki one starts working tomorrow. I'll also keep checking for existence of that page across the wikis today. Angela (talk) 01:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Question
How does a bureaucat give a bot "bot status"? (You can reply here.) Thanks  jj137  (talk ) 02:54, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Software bug
I know you're not a techy, but I don't know who else to poke. On Halopedia, Template:Title doesn't work anymore, so I looked at all the JS errors, and I found this:

Error: oElm has no properties Source File: http://images.wikia.com/common/skins/quartz/js/allinone.js?9 Line: 4

Template:Title works on several other Wikia, where I don't get that error; if you could poke a tech (and maybe gimme a couple names so I can poke them directly, if you please), that would be mucho appreciatedo. Thanks! =D -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 06:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Skin colors
I'm interested in tweaking the trim color used in the OtherVerse Wikia. Any specific way we go about requesting this? Thanks! --Stamp 20:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
