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. It appears to have been ignored... as a completely new episode ( www.fringepedia.net/index.php?title=The_No-Brainer ) of this weeks' show has been duplicated, including customized images (one promotional image is different). Please take additional measures as you see fit. Thanks for your attention.  –DocH–  17:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've banned the user for a while, and one of my colleagues is looking at his latest edits to see which need to be removed. Thanks for letting me know -- sannse (talk) 18:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

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.

Matias arana 10 18:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting in touch. I look forward to seeing your original work when you return :) -- sannse (talk) 09:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank You :)

Matias arana 10 14:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

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. Here is the info from the Fringepedia block page: "Your current IP address is 71.254.213.189, and the block ID is #4. " Anomymage 16:12, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * That's very strange... I've removed that autoblock. Please let me know if you see more issues -- sannse (talk) 17:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Technical problem with new namespace.

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)

Ewrestling-l Administrator Authentication code
Hey there and happy new year! I have switched email accounts that needs to be updated on the mailing lists and I must have lost the code to get in. How do I get in with another code? Sundogs E-Wrestling Encyclopedia 20:45, 31 January 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
Hi, I cannot edit the page Jak zkalil Žanek Husa v Pakostnici, bacause  is on spam blacklist. Who manages this blacklist? Could be  removed from it? It´s a normal portal. --Karkos 15:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You can try add it to your local MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist -- Sixorish 15:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I cannot put it even on the whitelist, because it´s blacklisted. :-(--Karkos 14:02, 18 February 2009 (UTC
 * Fixed. I wrote there only 2nd and 1st level domain name and now it´s correct. --Karkos 14:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Extension Request
Hello, can you install the SyntaxHighlight extension on Terminator Wiki, just like the one on this Canon wiki? Here is an example of highlighting. &mdash; JeiaraTalk 05:33, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've turned it on -- sannse (talk) 09:33, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

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)

Sourcing - revisited
Wholesale plagiarism continues under a fresh name at Fringe.wikia.com - this time under the Dark Kights user name

How to remove redlinked templates from template?
Is there some way to remove redlinked templates from templates? Examples Template:Left Behind and Template:Roman provinces 120 AD. --Kathleen.wright5 08:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC) ,from Wikia:Christianity


 * Yes, it's a matter of finding where they are used in the template (or more often in a sub-template used in the template) and removing the link. Sometimes they are several templates down.  Frankly, this is why it's not a good idea to use complext templates from Wikipedia.  If you can't understand them (and I certainly can't!) then it's difficult to fix and adapt them :) -- sannse (talk) 15:31, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

FOTC Wikia
I just checked the Flight of the Conchords wikia, which you recently approved for adoption, and It's still not showing rights have been changed. Is this an error on the site and it hasn't taken effect yet? Just wondering since I tried to make edits to the Monaco skin and it didn't allow me to do so.

I need help,Links won't work,things don't work,please help!Go to Mythical Wikia.GEARS OF WAR 2
 * Hi, looks like you have having a problem with the new editor. New wikis use this rather than the traditional type, it allows you to use the toolbar in the same way as a traditional word processor (like Word) rather than wikimarkup.  If you prefer to turn this off, you can do that via your preferences (select the edit tab and "Disable Rich Text Editing").  Or try highlighting something, and clicking a button above the edit bar... it's a rather nice way to edit :) -- sannse (talk) 10:57, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I'm having a hard time with bots..! Basically I need to create one because I'm getting stuck on my wikia (too many template and changes). I saw that you have a bot, and I though maybe you can help me through the process. I know you are part of the community support team, and this is the reason why I think you are the best person! If you are busy or cannot help me, maybe you can let me talk with someone else.

I know it's a bit weird as a request, but I asked on IRC and they told me that was better if I talked to someone who actually owned a bot. I need to get started, from downloading the program and setting it up (I think you can just tell me some links and I can do it by myself) to making it work (I would probably need some tips from u and your OK for flagging it).

Thank you for your attention! -- EXE.  eseguibile 05:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've actually only installed AutoWikiBrowser today - although I tried a similar program some time ago. AWB is a "semi-bot", which makes a change then shows you it for approval.  The program is mostly designed for Wikipedia, and it's pretty complex from what I've seen so far, but it looks useful.  I've no knowledge about creating a full bot though I'm afraid.  If you want to look at AWB, the page on it is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser - sannse (talk) 22:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually this is the best choice. At least I will be able to approve the edits, so I shouldn't make many mistakes! Thank you for your help again! I'm currently working on it.DeadorAlive and, unfortunately, I'm the only user. By extension, in terms of request for flagging, I should be the community (since I'm the only user). Anyway you are welcome to check the wikia and let me know what you think. The bot to flag should be Exebot. Thanks! -- EXE.  eseguibile 02:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Bakugan wiki
Hi sannse, no one has still replied in the page. -- ko isuru ( talk ) 09:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I've made you admin there. Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 19:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser
Could you run another CheckUser, please? This time on User 666, who's suspected to be Darth Vukure (or someone from Greece and having nodes in 63 cities, if it's not an exact match). Thanks in advance. Drewton ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, he's been blocked by another administrator. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:51, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

How to add an admin
I'm new at "Wikia-ing" and I need to know how to add my friend as an admin please. Bogantilla 00:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)Bogantilla
 * Hi, have a look at the help page here. You probably also find the Help:Administrators' how-to guide useful too :) -- sannse (talk) 19:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi, Sannse. I was advised that you're now in charge of IRC related things? Can I please request a Wikia IRC cloak? Per the cloak help page instructions, I've done what's required on freenode and I've also signed my name here to confirm my request. As I stated on that page, my IRC name is the same as my Wikia user name &mdash; CarlGustav. Thanks for your time, CarlGustav  ( Boom! ) 03:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, that's done -- sannse (talk) 17:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hello Sannse, I'm here to request a checkuser on this account, believed to be the same owner of this account. (firstly please note the similarity in userpages). The user was originally blocked for attempting to manipulate his edit count for an RfA, he then repeatedly stated on his talk page that he would be creating a new account. After the new account was created he went to another user Cruser knew and posted this:

== no sub ==

Can I talk to you somewhere else? There is something urgent to tell you. Contact me at megastrikedragon@live.com. 00:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

The user then contacted a fellow admin who directed the user to myself and told him to foward Cruser's e-mail.

Admittedly, I'm rather tired so if any part of this message is choppy I apologise, (also after this issue is dealt with, I'd appreciate the information in this section being hidden to preserve the reproting user's identity.--Azaz129 04:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Azaz. I talked to Karlis about this on IRC this morning... it's clear that they are the same person (or at least, on the same computer within a very short time of each other).  It's clear enough to say that they are socks.  sorry for the slow reply here -- sannse (talk) 17:38, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Merger of two wikias
Hey there Sense,

I'm requesting a merger from General-Hospital Wikia into my Soap Opera Wiki. You can see that the bureaurcarat has asked that on my talk page over at Soaps. Thanks. HotDice Roller Derby Wiki • Soap Opera Wiki 18:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Bot
Hope you didn't forget about my bot! ^^ I replied but maybe you haven't seen my messages. -- EXE.  eseguibile 19:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops! I did! It's done now, and the account is also listed on the AWB checkpage.  Sorry about that -- sannse (talk) 16:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Necyklopedie
Hi, we have got a serious problem yesterday and today: we can´t see our Recent changes. --Karkos 12:53, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * you can't? It's working for me, I'm looking at http://necyklopedie.wikia.com/wiki/Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD:Recentchanges .  Can you give me more details?  What exactly do you see? Can you upload a screenshot?  What browser and OS are you using? Are you logged in or out?  The more you can tell me the better! Thanks -- sannse (talk) 16:30, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Got a minute?
Hey. This is Eternalseed from Runescape Wiki. Would you mind popping in here for a minute t'give your point of view? I'm sure we all would like a fresh look on this manner. Thanks. 18:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've called in there (although mostly to say "it's up to the community" :) -- sannse (talk) 11:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Could you remove the bureaucratsy of User:Lombax Jerk on Bandipedia? I de-sysoped him when I found out about this: http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Lombax_Jerk --YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 11:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Editing issues
Hey again, Sannse. One of my sysops is having an issue. She can't seem to log in to edit anything. I'm not sure if the problem is with her account or not... Anyway, her screen name is PrincessPunky. I'd appreciate if you could help us solve this weird problem. Thanks!

~Spike's Girl (from the TGWTG wiki)
 * Hi. The best thing is for her to use Special:Contact to email us with as many details as possible (browser and operating system, what error messages she sees, what user name she uses, the exact page she is trying to log in on...)
 * But first, she could try logging in here and/or clearing her cookies and cache.


 * To do this on IE:
 * Select 'tools' > 'Internet options' > 'General' tab > under 'Browsing history' click 'Delete...' > 'Delete cookies' and 'Delete files' > 'Close' > 'OK'.


 * For Firefox:
 * Select 'tools' > 'clear private data' > check 'cookies' and 'cache', uncheck others from the list > Click 'clear private data now'.


 * Then for either:
 * Hold 'Ctrl' and press 'F5'
 * Log back in to view the page if necessary.


 * I hope that helps -- sannse (talk) 16:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Remove button from toolbar?
Can you remove or de-activate the new 'add image' button on the editing toolbar for Terminator Wiki ? It doesn't give users options for image tags and copyright, which is what our Special:Upload does. &mdash; JeiaraTalk 20:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, the add image tool bar does give a dropdown for image tags now. I'm not sure when it was added, it's quite recent, but you should have the same functionality as for Special:Upload (and more) -- sannse (talk) 18:56, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

New category feature - Category tag on articles when they already have them when not logged -in
When I'm not logged in at Wikia:Christianity every article has an add category tag, even though they already have categories. I've turned this feature off in my user preferences. This is only at Wikia:Christianity. Could you please do something about it. --Kathleen.wright5 22:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Kathleen. The idea is to make it easy to add more categories... often more works better than one per article.  I can turn it off for the wiki if that's what you and the community want, but why try it out a bit more and see if it works for you :) -- sannse (talk) 18:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

RuneScape Wiki - Personal privacy
Hello Sannse. I hate to bother you with yet another RS wikia community problem, but this is serious. I would appreciate if you would weigh in here. A few months ago, User:Earthere was supposedly emailed a direct link to an image from my personal, private myspace. He had no way to access it himself, and I have a feeling that Total Rune (I'm sure you remember him) sent him the image link. He then proceeded to post it to his userpage along with an insult. He was subsequently banned. Now, he feels he has served his time. I am absolutely appalled. There has been a community discussion opened to possibly remove his ban, but I fail to see in any way how this is a community decision, when this is complete trolling, and because it did not personally hurt any of the other wikia editors. He harassed me on one of the most personal and invasive levels. I know that Wikia is not Wikipedia, but one of their policies states unless unintentional and non-malicious... attempted outing is grounds for an immediate block. It is undeniable that his posting of the image was intentional and clearly malicious. At the time of the ban, all users supported the ban for the reasons I have stated. I cannot wrap my head around the idea of him being unbanned after such behaviour, and I implore that you comment on this discussion. Thank you. Christine 23:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Christine. This is very much a community decision.  And I see that the consensus seems to be going towards leaving him banned. -- sannse (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Request for de-adminship
Hello Sannse, this is Bluer. I would like to request the de-adminship of myself from Final Fantasy Wiki (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com). I have decided to withdraw from the project with no regrets whatsoever, effective immediately. I also would like to take this opportunity to inform you that I am now an active contributor to the Megami Tensei Wiki (http://megamitensei.wikia.com). Please, and thank you ^^  BLUER   一番   13:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Bluer, you could participate on both you know... :) Are you sure about this?  It's easy to leave your rights for a while, and see if you want to make the occasional change here and there?  Let me know... -- sannse (talk) 19:21, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Confusing Problem
Hey there, I'm sorry that I might be disturbing you with a little problem of mine, but I just wanted to ask, I'm new here, and I'm not that good at editing pages and character bios and stuff, but I want to tell you that after I was editing Sara Shirabuki's bio(Vampire Knight character), there were scroll bar stuff, instead of being seen plainly, and I don't know what happened. Please help, I hope you read this soon. Thank you very much.
 * Hi, it's just that you put a space at the beginning of the line. Which forces that line into preformatted text.  I've fixed it for you -- sannse (talk) 19:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Admin problem
In halopedia, an administrator keeps deleting my work and then locks the page. he says that my work is not actual work but vandalism and does not belong on that page. however, i did my research and everything i wrote is 100% backed up. shouldn't i be allowed to post my bit and if other don't like them they can remove them. I wouldn't have continued to repost them if the 1 admin would have contacted me and told me how i was wrong. is their anything i can do to get around his block on the page?
