 * I see an admin got there. This isn't the best way to get fast help I'm afraid, I often don't get to this page for a few days. The VSTF may be quicker if you need urgent help... although on an active wiki, there's usually an admin around to help pretty quickly :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:02, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

need an image attribution design tip
Is there an easy way to make small thumbnails be less unsightly? See for example w.c:guildwars:User:Brother Roland/Mini Pets; due to the small size of the icons, the attribution wraps and adds to the visual space of teh text, which as a result is much larger than the image itself. MediaWiki won't enlarge thumbnails if you give them a larger px size, so that option is out, and I don't want to turn attributions off (in fact, I'd like to avoid any wiki-specific "solutions" that would have to be maintained in the future). Any ideas? --◄mendel► 20:32, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * One way might be to create the images with a bigger border... but I'm not sure that's ideal either. It's a tricky one. I'll show this to the some folks in the office tomorrow, and see if they have some ideas of what might work better -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 05:52, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that would be great! We have by now close to 100 of these pet icons, and I'm fairly sure that creating duplicate versions of all of these won't be ideal. --◄mendel► 14:02, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Has anything come of this, or do I just have to live with the attribution ugliness for these small images? --◄mendel► 05:56, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I passed it on, and the likely solution is going to be remove attribution for any thumbnails below a certain size. That's got to be finalized (especially deciding exactly what the cut-off is) but I hope it won't take too long to make the change -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:20, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
On, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki, I tried to implant a successful character template, known as "Template:InfoCharacter". I made it work, but for some reason, it's consuming the entire page, and I don't know what to do about it. Is there anything you can do? --Archie 21:55, February 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your infobox opened two tables with {|, but closed only one; therefore, all subsequent text on the page got stuffed into the outer infobox table. I fixed it. --◄mendel► 00:59, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Meaningless blocks
Hey this is Wildoneshelper (cont. Uhsting) (talk) (edits) again and I'm from http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Ones_Wiki again.

Recently, some pages are blocked by no reason. Those pages are not the ones which are the cores of controlling and affecting the wiki so much. They are just only informative pages. The pages are not private and doesn't expose some information about the user or community. The following three pages are http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Falcon and http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Turkey and http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Rumble_in_The_Jungle. Please unblock them or if not, reply at my talk page. Thank you! I'm very angry at WildWarren and I'm going to do something to prevent him to block the pages again. He is trying to prevent me to spread around the wiki! I have fully contributions in Wild Ones Wiki and I don't know why he blocked the pages. It is a reason that he hates me I think. He is lazy on blocking the pages. When blocked, no edits he made in the blocking pages. I wonder why he does it. He must have gone crazy about me. I want you to solve this problem asap.

Wildoneshelper (cont. Uhsting) (talk) (edits) 09:53, March 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is something you need to discuss with WildWarren and any other admins on the wiki. I would suggest you have a calm and friendly discussion with him -without drama like "he must have gone crazy" and "he is lazy". Just talk to him :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 20:41, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, I'm sorry you're having these issues, but Sannse's reply is the best we can tell you. WildWarren is the active sysop, and it's his responsibility to protect the wiki in the ways he deems appropriate. If you believe other poeple in the wiki are having issues with him, too, try reaching out to the bureacrats (Funkey100 and Wikia Wolf) to discuss it. Even though they haven't edited in awhile, it's possible they might come back to answer your questions. Good luck. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:16, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

Beautification help
hello again, Its me once again begging for help on the barsoom wiki, This time I need help with the beautification of the invididual portals. . . and no matter what I do I cannot seem to get the google rating up, and in all honesty It has me worried. I have tried some of the things that were on the page about it. The most popular and consistent work for the burroughs universe right now is the warlord of mars series (a current ongoing comic), and the upcoming movie. . . which our article on both of these subjects are lacking, But I am unsure of how to go about acquiring help for these two subjects. It seems rude and unlawful to copy information on the movie directly from other wikis, and asking for help for the dynamite warlord of mars series on the sites official forums will likely get me banned for advertising a website I am in charge of (i have seen this happen with other wikis). . . I am sorry for being so amateur ralok 07:02, March 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Everything on a wiki is public domain information. It's perfectly legal to copy it, and it isn't rude at all. Just make sure you've cited it properly.


 * Monchoman45: that's not quite accurate :) it's important to separate copying text directly and gathering information from a source. You can't always just copy the text, but you can take information from a source and put it in your own words. So the fact that grass is green can't be copyrighted, but that doesn't mean you can directly copy the exact text of an article that says that -- you need to pull out the facts and write about it yourself :)


 * On the other hand, many wikis (including those on Wikia) use a license that does allow you to copy text directly -- as long as you give credit to the source. So it depends on the situation.


 * ralok: I'd say that content is the key to getting noticed on Google, rather than beautification -- although that helps keep people on the site once the reach you! Content will be especially important as the movies get closer and people search more for the key terms. Finding information from other sites and wikis and putting it together in your own words is definitely not rude or illegal :) You shouldn't just copy text of course, but bringing together information from many sources and building them in to the ultimate resource is what wikis are all about.


 * You may also find that linking to other sites on your wiki (for example " broke a new story that...." or "Source: ") will help those sites notice you, and may encourage them to send people your way to share information too.


 * Forums and blogs have varying rules, but some allow you to link a wiki or other site in your signature or profile. Contributing on forum discussions and adding replies to questions will then give you publicity for your wiki without you spamming. Forums may also allow you to link when the link is part of a relevant reply. For example, someone might ask "what are the names of the Pricesses of Mars?" and you could reply something like "the most important are A, B and C... but there are also 25 others mentioned in the books - there is an article about all of them if you want to know more".


 * And most importantly - don't give up! You are doing great :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:18, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Bureaucrat trouble
Hey there. A couple of months ago, you helped out our wiki Dragon Ball Fanon Wiki with a rogue bureaucrat, and we were all sorted for a good while. Unfortunately, the user promoted to bureaucrat as a replacement then insulted another of our administrators as an anon, and I blocked him for a year. It was then decided that we would demote Princeofallsalads and relace him with a more reliable user.

Seeing as bureaucrats cannot demote bureaucrats, would you be able to do the job? Thanks. 01:34, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the anon account that he used to harass a fellow admin... I guess if you want you could do an IP check with the Princeofallsalads account to make sure, but he did admit to being both of them... -KidVegeta

Hey, it's all cool now. As it turns out, POAS decided to demote himself. -KidVegeta

New Skin
Hi Sannse! The new wikia skin is actually quite good! Only one problem though that strikes me down badly: Why cannot users change their skin to their own liking? I am currently stuck on the monobook skin, but if I could change my skin preferences, I could switch between to two when I like, therefore there are no problem reports about it. My basic question is this: "Why can users not change their skins to their liking?". It just doesn't make sense to me anymore... I asked Sarah Manley whether she could change my skin. She replied saying I could, so I checked but no, I cannot (due to $wgHiddenPrefs being set to "skin" I suppose) and she has not replied yet. Can users have the right to change their skins, please? OH! And if the fact that they cannot change their skins because of the new Wikia skin being the new Wikia style and that users should always have that one on, well think about this: I cannot change my skin to Wikia, so Monobook is my default one :( I would like to be able to switch between the two. Thanks — Jempcorp {user page | talk} 22:18, March 8, 2011 (UTC).
 * Oh, and one more thing: The "Vector" skin would look great on Wikia, I think. So sleek and shiny *deep thought* — Jempcorp {user page | talk} 22:23, March 8, 2011 (UTC).

Bleach Wiki Rights?
Hello, I am coming to ask if Bleach Wiki has the right to block all non registered users from editing. They have been doing this for years, and it won't allow you to edit unless you have an account. I have seen many other wikis and all of them allow non registered users to make contributions. Normally I wouldn't have said anything but I read the conversation here between one of the admins and one of the heavy editors on the site and thought I should report them. Is there some way that you or the staff of this wiki can fix this? ErzaLover 02:47, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * There are a few wikis on Wikia that only allow logged in editing. This is sometimes because they had severe vandalism problems in the past, or because it's a wiki that moved to Wikia and they already had that setting, or because it was a wiki with an larger, active community that feels very strongly about anon editing. It's something that we only allow rarely, on a case-by-case basis, and it should never be done with repeated use of Protect Site (that's not the way it's done on Bleach - it's correctly set by staff).


 * But if the Bleach community wants to try opening up editing again, then that would be great :) All it needs is for a discussion on the wiki, and a general agreement to give it a go - then an admin should contact us and we can make the change -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:49, March 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Sannse, we most certainly do not want to open the site to anons. We have enough trouble with people making accounts to vandalize the site. Opening anons would only make this worse. The above user has made 1 edit to the wiki which was undone for not following the rules. My guess is that they are upset over this.--

Not Upset.
I wasn't saying that out of spite, I simply wished to know why I couldn't just edit without an account, and I wouldn't have said anything if the user himself wouldn't have said that they were doing something wrong, but thanks for your answer. ErzaLover 01:30, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Our one and only Bureaucrat, The Scourge has gone inactive, and we have only one active Administrator. The fourth season of True Blood starts in a couple of months, which is bound to increse traffic on the wiki, and bring problems in equal measure. Buffymybasset was previously an Administrator, but her rights were revoked due to her account being hacked. The suspension of her rights was supposed to be temporary, but The Scourge went inactive without restoring them. So, would you please restore her admin status, and promote either her or Babbyjabba to Bureaucrat? Thanks in advance. Jayden Matthews 15:07, March 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks like XD1 is active on this wiki and restored Buffymybasset's rights. Have you tried asking them for a Bureaucrat promotion? --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:36, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Liberapedia
Somebody's hacked into Wikia and changed the LP logo for Liberapedia to the Conservapedia logo. Liberapedians won't like this. Proxima Centauri 09:08, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

hello
Hi Sannse, this is probably a weird request but is it possible to restrict the "Move"/"Rename" pages option only to sysops? we don't really want our users who aren't admins renaming our pages. This is from the w:c:testadmin and it's just a question? just to restrict users from moving pages.

Eglinton talk  00:36, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes but it can only be done page by page. You just protect the page (via the drop down menu on the edit button) and choose edit = new and registered contributors, move = sysop.--
 * Talk page stalker No, it is technically possible to move the  right from user to sysop (making it so only admins can move pages), but wait for Sannse's answer for whether or not she will do this for you. Also, in future, such requests should go through Special:Contact on that wiki.  03:14, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) I just don't want to be going around protecting pages :-P

Abandoned Wiki
Hello Sannse, I think the founder of this wikia has abandoned it. Quiet Man ( Talk ) 22:47, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Just a suggestion: But I think you should put in a request to adopt the wiki, if you wanted to request administrative or bureaucratic status there.

Hope that helped :)

Bakugan wiki
My word.

User DarkusAlpha was Blocked for Intimidating Behavior/Harassment on another Wiki, and starting Randomness on our Wiki some time ago. The Badges are, somewhat, a hope to get some Editing on our Wiki, because all Users there are only Commenting on Blog Posts instead of Editing. 2X☆∞ |  klaT &lt;    Backwards.


 * Also, most of our Administrators are ignoring our Policies/Rules and act inappropriately. If Banned/their Rights are removed, they go on a "strike" and begin threatening by using various methods. Any Solutions will be highly accepted. Thanks. 2X☆∞ | <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#00ccff"> klaT &lt;   <font face="Viner Hand ITC" color="#lime"> Backwards.


 * And Finally, my entire point being, how can i keep a Wiki alive if the Community hates me? <font face="TimokU Italic" color="#330033">2X☆∞ | <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#00ccff"> klaT &lt;   <font face="Viner Hand ITC" color="#lime"> Backwards.


 * If I may give my non-staff opinion, there are a few things at work here. First off, Bakugan wiki is likely to have many users that are under the age of 13, simply due to the subject matter. Hence, the people you're dealing with will tend to be immature. From what I saw on that blog, you have a Randomness policy for people who only comment on blog posts. You probably shouldn't block people who only comment on blogs - instead, provide something that makes them want to edit content pages more. Badges don't seem to be a good option (judging from the above), so try to think of something else. And one user made a good point - "what happens on one wiki stays on one wiki". Don't block a user on two wikis for something they did on one. Those things should be a step in the right direction - hopefully, they'll help you get your community under control.




 * No one's perfect - people make mistakes. I myself have blocked people for bad reasons before. Doesn't mean that people can't change. Both sides need to compromise here.


 * That was good advice from Monchoman45 :) I think the main thing for all on the wiki to remember is this is supposed to be fun.  I don't think you should try to force people to edit instead of contributing to the community in other ways ... blogging can help your wiki too, especially in helping build a community and encouraging people to keep coming back.  But there are ways to encourage people to edit as well as blogging... why not have a competition for "best improved page"?  Or choose a task to work on together (say, starting a page for each character that's missing) and have a blog post highlighting the people did the most towards the goal.  Keep it positive - so give recognition to those that help, rather than getting angry with those who didn't :) and see how it goes!


 * Another thing to remember is that if most of the other admins disagree with you - then maybe you are wrong :) It's a community wiki, and you need to talk to the other admins and work out what is best for the wiki. It's something that you, and admins and the community can work out together.  So talk to people, encourage everyone to work together, and have fun :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  17:53, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Deleting Wikis
Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to delete wikis? I've been recently wanting to delete one, but I remember someone telling me a long time ago that it's a pain to do so. Anyway, please let me know!

Thanks,

--Blemo


 * Hi! If the wiki has a lot of content on it or there are other community members involved, we encourage you to leave it for others to adopt and improve, rather than delete it. However, if it's brand new, mostly empty, or you're the only person who's used it, just send us a message via Special:Contact and we'll try to help you out. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:31, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Your photos on Wiki
Hi there,

I am making labels for a candle company. Can the images of state flowers be used as part of the labels? Your images are amazing!

Thanks, Gina


 * Hi Gina, Can you specify (with links) which images you're interested in? Copyright rules may vary. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:08, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hey Sannse, I have a question. Is it possible to delete wiki accounts? I just got a random email yesterday that I had two (unused) wiki accounts from 2005. Yeah, it was weird and I dunno why I just got the emails... but I'm wondering if I can delete those accounts, as I have no intention of using them any more. Is this possible? Let me know,

-KidVegeta
 * No if you delete your account in a wiki your whole account in all the wikis will be deleted. <font color="DarkBlue" face="verdana">What is CH3OH? <font color="DarkGreen" face="verdana">It's Methanol  <font color="darkgreen" face="verdana">Contrib  06:35, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

I should mention that they are on a different email address, then this account that I'm using now. Is that important? -KidVegeta


 * It is technically possible to delete an account (the software can adapt), but it's messy to do so and is rarely, if ever, done. The email you got was likely a phishing attempt, because Wikia doesn't send out emails about having unused accounts. You can disable the account, but if you're not using it anyway there's really no need.
 * Hi KidVegeta! It's possible that those emails weren't a phishing attempt, but rather the result of an email glitch we experienced recently -- some very old wiki founder emails were backlogged, and just released. You can safely ignore them. We didn't mean to send them, and we're working on the issue.


 * We don't delete user accounts, but we do disable them on request. This would remove your email addresses from them and permanently lock them so no one can use them again. If you'd like us to do that, please request it via Special:Contact (if you want both accounts deleted, you should submit each request separately, while logged in to the account you want deleted). Thanks, and sorry for the strange emails. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:55, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

You need to be sure that any community on the wiki agrees with the change, and that you are aware that existing comments won't show if you change to talk pages -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  16:44, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Brickipedia taking a joke too far
I'm guessing it is an April fool's joke. Brickipedia made someone an admin who made a few edits. They changed the theme and colours. But they have gone too far with this joke and began blocking people including me for no apparent reason. I believe this goes against wikia, and I'll like something to be done.


 * Hi there. If this is still an issue, please bring it up with the bureaucrats at Brickipedia. Thanks. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:19, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * "Helper" is a formal role on wikia - they are people who are contracted to work for Wikia or are doing an internship with us.

Help!
I'm not an administrator or bureaucrat. The administrator just logged in and do nothing in our Wild Ones Wiki. Recently, we have an enormous vandalizer in Wild Ones Wiki. He makes our page get messy and moving pages be impotent. The main page is also in trouble, I've just have undone his vandalism. According to my vandalism scale, he has violated the Category 9 vandalism and will do immediate actions and blocks. Please block him for 1 week as no administrators or bureaucrats have come to stop him. Where can I apply for rollback? Not enough 60 days but want to become an administrator or bureaucrat.

I'm Wildoneshelper, from http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Ones_Wiki.

The Vandalizer is Midou.zallouz: http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/User:Midou.zallouz

 * Talk to VSTF about this.--


 * It's also good to talk more to the existing admin. He has been on the wiki, so should be able to help out with blocks.  I can also give him bureaucrat rights if he wants them... then he can add more admins as needed -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  16:58, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Ongoing Vandal Problems at the Mass Effect Wiki
Hey Sannse since you've been helpful with me in the past, I hope there is something that you can help me with now, or at least point me in the right direction.

For about the past three weeks, at the Mass Effect Wiki, we have had someone keep coming back, and vandalizing hundreds of articles before he can be banned. This is because he picks the perfect time to strike, during the overnight hours in the US, when both active admins, SpartHawg948 and myself are offline and asleep.
 * Instance from overnight hours on March 20-21: Initially dealt with as Vandal was just using IPs at the time, but the edits made it clear who it was.
 * Instance from overnight hours on March 27-28: Vandal created three separate accounts,
 * Istilldontcares
 * Imoredontcaresnow
 * Inevercaresolittle
 * With the first one, manage to vandalize almost 350 times before Angela blocked him. Also with the Imoredontcaresnow account, he created over 100 pages that had the exact same thing, also deleted by Angela. He then proceeded to make two new accounts over the course of the day, Name's Jack 101, and use multiple IPs to vandalize. I managed to catch these, but it was the second user account, Jack's the name, Lancer, deal with it, is when it started to get personal.

While the vandalism is undone quickly, the attacks this morning, April 2-3, made it personal. What he did this morning was use Cyrillic characters to spoof my user name, which did cause some initial confusion, but then people caught on. Eventually Randomtime, a member of the VSTF, managed to shut him down.

Accounts from this morning, notice the Cyrillic characters: This morning he proceeded to vandalize the wiki, by copy pasting various edit summaries of mine into articles, and using that as the edit summary. This did again cause some confusion as to what was really going on. However what he did then was to try and impersonate me logging in and seeing by account blocked, thankfully he don't know how Wikia operates. The community caught on however, but not before Randomtime unblocked the accounts, which he then reblocked after a conversation on my talk page. I've been trying to sort this out, and I'm at a loss now about what to do. This guy has made it personal and for me has taken the joy out of editing Wikia. This is no fault of you or the staff, but just one person who can't grow up, act mature, get a life, and find something more productive to do. among other things. There are a lot of things I'd like to say about him, but won't. However, I'm about ready to lose my cool about this issue.
 * L%D0%B0nc%D0%B5r1289
 * Lanc%D0%B5r1289
 * Lan%D1%81er1289
 * L%D0%B0n%D1%81er1289
 * L%D0%B0n%D1%81er1289

He recently came back however, and was still using versions of my user name. I have no doubt this is beyond personal and frankly, it is beyond annoying as again I'm about ready to loose my cool. Here are those accounts:
 * Lacner1289
 * Lancer1286

The second of these attacks was the more worryful one with an edit to my talk page. If you choose to follow the link, then you have been warned as it isn't pretty and was insulting to both myself and SpartHawg948, the resident b'crat on the ME wiki. I'm again at a loss about what to do here. Personally I don't think he will stop until I'm gone or I'm blocked. Or until he has every page vandalized at once. But I think the two former conditions are the ones he is going for as he is personally targeting me and only me with his recent attacks.

The only humor, and possibly relief I can find is that when Mass Effect: Evolution Issue #4 is released in a few weeks as this might have all started over the ME Wiki's speculation policy and how we, and more specifically me in this instance, enforced it. If you wish to puruse that topic, here are some relevant links on that point, Mass Effect: Evolution, Illusive Man, and Talk:Illusive Man. Maybe then he will go away, and them maybe not, but he is becoming a permanent pest. I'm betting not as he will gloat, vandalize, and then get banned again for breaking some policy, leading to this all over again.

Also while I was leaving this message, I had enough suspicion to ban the following account based on the image: Again if you want to follow the link, then you have been warned as it just inappropriate to say the least.
 * Garrus Is My Bro

I've contacted the VSTF already about watching over the Wiki during the night, and sent now two emails using the contact form, but again since Spart and myself are offline during the overnight hours so he can pretty much vandalize at will. I know you probably won't read this until tomorrow, but this is out of control and I'm really hoping that there is something the staff can do about this issue as I'm out of options and this guy is a pain in the side of the community and myself.

Again anything that the staff can do, will be much appreciated by the community. But as I've stated I'm at my whit's end with this issue. I'm really hoping that something can be done to hopefully stop this guy apart from having someone from the VSTF sit on the wiki 24/7 for the foreseeable future.

Some relevant links:
 * Block Log
 * Block List
 * Deletion Log
 * User talk:Lancer1289

I think this is the longest initial message I've left anyone.

As always, thanks in advance. Lancer1289 04:31, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Apparently I missed a lot while I was sleeping as he proceeded to create more accounts and then have an on again off again on Teugene's talk page. He then created another account, and apparently I was wrong about the Cyrillic characters, and vandalize again: %C4%BFancer1289. There were also two IPs that were banned at the same time for similar actions and now I am at my whit's end. If there is anything the staff can do, it would be much appreciated. This guy is out of control and not only breaking our policies, but I'm beyond a reasonable doubt that he's broken several of Wikia's during this whole process. Lancer1289 13:34, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Quick addendum: He apparenlty will give up a break today, which I highly doubt as his recent account, %C5%81ancer1289, blanked by user page, and well you can read the summary. Lancer1289 13:48, April 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Special:Contact, request a checkuser and a rangeblock. That should take care of him for a while.
 * I've already contacted the staff about it yesterday, with to different emails. The problem is he uses proxy IPs and just keeps coming back. I'll send another email however before I leave for school. Lancer1289 13:48, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Multiple emails won't change anything - one is enough. A rangeblock takes out a bunch of IP addresses all at once, which will prevent him from changing his IP address to continue vandalizing.
 * If there was a range we could have blocked, we'd have done it already  Random <font color="Orange">Time  17:13, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Or that. Aren't there other tools that staff have for this kind of thing?
 * As Randomtime says, There's not a way to block all the IPs he may be using. The VSTF and staff are aware of the problems, and will keep looking for IPs and ranges to block, but a it may just be persistence in reverting that pays off.  The basics of keeping vandalism off a wikis are always: block, revert, ignore.  The more quickly and quietly you can do that, the more likely the vandal will get bored and move on :)  But also see Wendy's reply to your email, Lancer... maybe she can help a bit more. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  17:09, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sannse, however we are trying our best to deal with the problem. I did see Wendy's email, and that doesn't sound like something that we'd be comfortable with as we generally don't protect pages altogether. Generally most of our IPs edit in a positive manor, but if it keeps going, maybe I'll bring it up. Something tells me this guy will just keep coming back until issue #4 is released on the 20th and it confirms what he's been pushing. Anyway, it is nice to know that the staff and the VSTF are on the lookout, however we also did just add two more admins to Spart and myself a few hours ago, one of whom lives in Australia so he can keep an eye out overnight. Maybe once he realizes he can't hit during that time like he used to, maybe he will stop. I can only hope. I again thank you for your assistance, and I do just have one more question, has the staff seen something like this before, one person who keeps coming back time and time again? Lancer1289 17:17, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Addendum: After reading this again, I just realized that this made it sound like we don't appreciate the staff and the VSTF looking out for us, and if that did happen, then my sincerest apologies on that. We all appreciate the staff being on the lookout, as I've thanked each one who has come around to assist, and we would appreciate any additional assistance in dealing with the problem. I also apologize if this causes you an edit conflict as I just wanted to clear the air in case there was something that was misinterpreted. I know you are busy Sannse, but I would appreciate a response to make sure that I didn't convey something that wasn't intended. I sometimes I have a problem expressing gratitude in comments.

Big Problem with admin
I recently joined the fanverse wiki (fanverse.wikia.com) because a friend of mine made it. I was on for awhile and a user named Xenosaiyan57 started talking to me, asking if I wanted to write a story with him. I has previously given him some constrictive critisism, however I said I did not want to work with him and told me to leave me alone. He went to one of the admins, Zel'no'di, and said I was "rude", which resulted in Zel'no'di blocking me for a year. I think this is a gross misuse of his powers as an admin, and something should be done about it. 184.98.170.211 01:15, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, this is something you need to work out with the admins on the wiki. I agree it seems very harsh for the comment I see, but this should be something decided by the admins there.  I see there are two active admins, so possibly the other one can help mediate between you.

User: DaNASCAT abuse of power
Hi. As you may have heard, the popular Smashwiki moved a while ago to another host site named Wikia. The community moved with it and copied the articles down there. We hope you respect this move, as we had conflicts with wikia before. However, wikia staff has refused to delete the SmashWiki here on wikia, despite the fact that the only users remaining are either one-time minor editors, vandals, or a handful of users (including me) that are community members who are just sticking by to stop the vandals. Even worse, User: DaNASCAT is blocking some of the vandal reverters only because we are notifying new users about the move. He has also made it clear that he is fiercly opposed to us turning the wiki into a more useful source (like a proposed Fanon wiki). He is doing this even though he has not contributed to the wiki at all. WE repeatedly try to get him to discuss this, rather than merely censor our opinions, but he has not responded. We hope you can talk to him about this and respect our wishes to have control of our site. Mr. Anon 04:36, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you have moved, Wikia will not close the site as they still own the wiki. Rather they will help in restoring the wiki and make it more friendly to new users. I have seen many people who have moved complaining about being blocked "for reverting vandalism". Trust me, there is always more to it. From what I have seen, Smash wiki was using site notices- a Tou violation- and telling all users to go to the new off wikia wiki, also not allowed.--
 * We were not in any way telling users to leave. Rather, we were informing them of the facts: that the community had moved to another domain. Mr. Anon 05:00, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do not act as if I don't know what I am talking about. EVERY SINGLE USER supported the leave from wikia, yet you REFUSE to delete it at all. We try to compromise in changing it to a fanon wiki, and even then you stand in our way. I have lost my patience. You claim to try to protect the content in the wiki, yet that content was created by the very users you are blocking, who are trying hard to prevent vandals from damaging our work. You side with users known to abuse their powers on other wikis. Discuss this properly and address my points. Mr. Anon 05:13, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * No need to get hostile. You need to look at the facts. Wikia owns the smash wiki, not you. If you have left wikia, then wikia is going to go in there and clean up the wiki and change it around to bring in new users. They have very strict rules on promoting the new wiki within the wikia wiki. I believe it is supposed to just be a blog post detailing the move. You also used sitenotices which are a Tou violation. If you have left wikia, then leave peacefully and let wikia do what it must to bring new editors to the wikia site.--
 * I am not getting hostile. Let's look at the facts. We decided to move. We obviously notified users about this move, and yes through a sitenotice. The sitenotice in question merely stated that the community has moved and linked to a page detailing the reasons for the move. Our users also directly notified new users about this. In no way did we force; we did not threaten with blocks or any thing like that. Might I also mention that we were the one cleaning up the barage of vandalism, not you? If you guys cared about the state of the wiki, you would help in this. Instead, you desysop a user who was only using his powers to revert the said vandalism, and refused to respond to complaints of this desysop. DaNASCAT has repeatedly stood in the way of us even changing the purpose of the site, even though EVERY SINGLE USER supported the said change of tone. You may technically "own" the wiki, but wikia has in no way aided in the formation and building up of the wiki. Mr. Anon 05:29, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I ask a two questions: if DaNASCAT's only purpose in his actions is to improve the wiki, why hasn't he done ANYTHING to stop the consistant vandalism there? And why are you so against the "new users" that you are trying to help deciding for themselves, rather than censoring important information about the move? Mr. Anon 05:34, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Like it or not, this kind of thing has happened dozens of times before. DaNASCAT's actions are completely normal and entirely 'legal'. You're not going to get anywhere with this.
