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)

problem with DNBs
Hello, I have a problem with the french wiki about harry potter. I have created some templates with Dynamic Navigation boxes but there is a problem: hide/show is displayed twice. You can see it there. I have edited both common.css and common.js. What is the problem? Thank you, Kevin51340 20:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thats because you have 2 copies of the stuff in your code, the stuff after "Boîtes déroulantes" is just another variant of the collapse stuff. pick one, and get rid of the other one. --Uberfuzzy 05:15, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Vandal help.
Hi again, Im not sure if anyone is currently available here but tibia.wikia needs help with the user Nowomowa127 causing disruptive edits. It doesnt appear that any of the tibia admin are available to block this person. I would appreciate any help, thanks. :) beejay 00:38, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Locals took care of it. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  00:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I was just coming back to say, sorry for the trouble. beejay 01:18, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Its ok, no trouble at all. six is usually pretty fast about these things. might want to leave him a message on these things, he might be around at other wikia wikis even if looks like he's not around on tibia 'right then'. --Uberfuzzy 01:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * OH! its him again, ok, time to restalk tibia.wikia in the feed again. thanks. --Uberfuzzy 06:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I have to admit I never considered that he would be on another wiki and forgot that messaging would notify him, have a nice day! beejay 11:17, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Please update MediaWiki:Talkpagetext translation
Hi, here is updated Finnish translation to MediaWiki:Talkpagetext link: http://fi.wikia.com/wiki/Järjestelmäviesti:Talkpagetext and please add it here MediaWiki:Talkpagetext/fi (link: http://messaging.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Talkpagetext/fi ) Thanks! -- Wappedia (Talk) ™ 16:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. :) thanks --Uberfuzzy 22:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks!-- Wappedia (Talk) ™ 14:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Interlanguage links for WCG
Please will you enable interlanguage links between:

Thanks Didactylos 18:36, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --Uberfuzzy 20:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --Uberfuzzy 20:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Formatting Help
Take a look at this page: http://baisoft.wikia.com/wiki/Code:Euler_1

Much of my wiki contains code examples; I'm wondering if there's a better way to display the code than with &lt;pre> tags; the text is tiny and barely readable. 01:23, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I've enabled this extension there, that might help. the pre tags are done in a generic "monospace" family font, so you might want to check your browser, as you might have all monospace stuff set to a much smaller size then normal. --Uberfuzzy 17:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Please
Please add Finnish translation (link:http://fi.wikia.com/wiki/Järjestelmäviesti:Wikiastats_wikicategory ) to MediaWiki:Wikiastats wikicategory (link:http://messaging.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikiastats_wikicategory ) Thanks!-- Wappedia (Talk) ™ 10:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Please add this Finnish translation (link:http://fi.wikia.com/wiki/Järjestelmäviesti:Yourbirthdate ) to MediaWiki:Yourbirthdate (link: http://messaging.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Yourbirthdate ) Thanks agan!-- Wappedia (Talk) ™ 10:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done --Uberfuzzy 18:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Please add this (link: Finnish translation http://fi.wikia.com/wiki/Järjestelmäviesti:Anoneditwarning ) to MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning (link: http://messaging.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning ). -- Wappedia (Talk) ™ 23:24, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Bleach Bot Flagging
Hey ! Sorry to annoy you again with this "bot stuff", but I recently looked deeper into what was messing with Aizen Sôsuke and it appears it was the "ô" that bugged it all, so I created that account for the bot and it is apparently going well on tests. Might you, if possible, flag that one again.

Thanks, Mili-Cien's bot.
 * Done. Please next time link to the wiki/user where you talking about, it saves time in trying to hunt down where this is at. --Uberfuzzy 19:00, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

My World Wikia
I'm having a hard time understanding why you haven't yet deleted My World Wikia yet. Seriously. Not that I care, but LilyTheAngel is running the site like it's her own personal blog and/or Nazi regime, she blocked you for 6 months, then left quite a pathetic attempt at a threat on your talk page.  λ T 03:48, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll jump in and answer this one :) Frankly, it is her personal blog at this point, and that's just fine.
 * Personal wikis are something of an experiment, and are going to need slightly different norms to other wikis. I think all of us, as a community, are still working out what that means an how it's going to work out.
 * With regards to the blocking and so on, what it comes down to at the moment is simply: it doesn't matter :) Wikia staff aren't actually affected by blocks, and are very able to ignore any silliness like that.  Especially when it's on a personal wiki and so doesn't really affect us or anything else.  If someone blocks me on that wiki, then I'm going to shrug and go back to whatever it was I was doing ;)  If I need to, then I can unblock myself and even remove the rights of the person blocking me.  But mostly, it's not important enough to make a fuss about.  And I would guess that if you were blocked on that wiki then it really isn't going to affect your daily editing pattern in any way whatsoever ;)
 * So I would say that unless they are affecting other wikis, or they are growing in to proper community wikis and need help, then personal wikis are best left to themselves. Fancy making Daedryon.wikia.com? :)

Vandal@chgk
Could you please delete in a semi-automatic way the remaining vandal contributions of this user? Due to my understanding Russian, I can confirm that whose 100 pages created by him is really unuseful content. I've recently become a sysop there but manual deletion will take me too long, I'm afraid ;-) Thanks in advance, Qweedsa 14:20, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. thanks. --Uberfuzzy 19:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome tool not working on Ferrocarriles
Hi, we´re having problems with the new welcome tool on ferrocarriles.wikia.com (AKA Ferropedia). On 4th may, we removed the "message-anon" part on MediaWiki:Welcome-enabled, so the tool stopped sending welcome messages to anonymous IPs, as we wanted. Several days later, without changing a single comma, the tool is doing exactly the opposite thing: sending welcomes to IPs and (it seems) failing to do that to new users. Can you pleas help us? Regards and thanks a lot, --Ancho dual 11:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Its a known problem, its doing the same thing on other wikis too. The people on that project are looking into what changed into the issue, its not anything you did, or anything on the wiki. sorry about that. we'll try to get it fixed asap. --Uberfuzzy 19:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

PotBS patch
Hi. Could you please update the patch-build on the PotBS wiki to 1.15.46.0? As you protected it last time we spoke about it I'm unable to do so myself. Thanks in advance :) --MiniPax 08:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Generalgrievous112
Yes, the title deterred you I know... Anyhow, is GG112 still blocked, I wouldn't know because I am not his sockpuppet and he was just appointed leader of Project Image on the webkinz wiki so, if he is blocked, could you unblock him so he can help the webkinz wiki?-- Webkinz  the Bcrat   yaps   +look  23:37, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Command & Conquer Wiki Bureaucrat Request
Greetings,

On the CnC Wiki, we'd like to request a promotion for AthCom to bureaucrat. Our current bureaucrat, MikaelGrizzly is more or less inactive and we need new sysops. AthCom is the only significantly active sysop left and he had agreed to take the promotion.

The community discussion is here. If this is not the usual way to make such a request would you be able to direct us down the right path? Please and thanks you! - Meco (talk) 04:40, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Ban evasions
I feel it necessary to inform you of a few sockpuppet accounts: one operating undercover (attempting to hide their true identity and failing miserably), and the other two openly admitting to being blocked on his/her other account.

The people in question are:


 * DragonBeater (Sockpuppet of Barn Owls Rule)


 * Freezer57181 (Sockpuppet of Chill57181)


 * ComedyRumorsTDA2 (Sockpuppet of Bubby00000)

Please take necessary action to deal with these troublemakers. - Brute Commander

Edited to add:

I would also request to the shutdown of this Wiki: its very offensive.
