Themes namespace on logocreation
Hi sannse! On Logo Creation Wiki we were thinking of creating a project for designing custom skins for wikis. I was wondering if you could make a new namespace for that? Perhaps "Theme" and "Theme comments." I think that would work fine. Thanks! swannietalk 14:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, that's all set up... and nice idea! -- sannse (talk) 09:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! swannie  http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png  talk  13:58, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello again! Could you make a "Logo" namespace on Logo Creation Wiki, too? Thanks! swannie http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png  talk  15:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also done :) -- sannse (talk) 15:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Halo fanon Admin is ruling the sight. And no one will stand up about this!
An admin on Halo fanon has been over ruling anything the other admins say by his opinion including the banning of Whitehwk and The evil omalley. I got banned for getting advice from Omalley for an artcile after he was banned.Omalley was banned because of flaming and repeated spamming of Ajax 013. I have reasons to believe he has overpowered every other admin on Halofanon. So would you please speak to him. I would but he has me muted on the IRC and my IP addres banned from sending messages to him or any other administrator. Would you please speak to him and ask why he bans everyone in sight for not taking his advice on articles. And ask him why he thinks I was helping Omalley ban dodge. I ask you because i trust you'll make the right decision. User: Whitehwk
 * From what I see of O'Malley's actions on the wiki, his ban was very wise. As for your ban, I understand that the initial part of the problem was on IRC.  So I can't look at that, but I trust the admin team to look at the situation and decide if the ban is fair.  I understand that you feel the other admins are being over-ruled by one, but any admin can remove a block, or question the block - I believe they will do that if necessary.
 * My suggestion is, to leave the wiki alone for a while, just back off and let things calm down. Then contact a user in good standing who you think you can work with, and ask them to contact an admin for you.  They can just ask if the admin will discuss the situation with you, and try to resolve the problems.  But I do recommend giving it some time and space first - that often helps a lot with issues like this. -- sannse (talk) 10:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

UnRuneScape Wiki
There's no active admins there, it would seem. May I have bureaucrat rights there? I seem to have taken a liking to the wiki...Winston 02:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC).
 * I think the best thing on this one is for me to give the active admin, Skill, bureaucrat rights... then they can decide who in the community (or the beginnings of a community) to give admin flags to :) -- sannse (talk) 10:13, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

User rename/merge
Couple questions: 1) Do you prefer all talk page comments/questions here, or is on one of the branch wikis okay? (such as stexpanded, where you've made contributions)

2) Could you get Rename user and User merge and delete implemented (either for stexpanded above or maybe all of Wikia)? This could be a very handy feature. Please reply here. Thanks, --Sasoriza 23:45, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Replied there :) -- sannse (talk) 10:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I have decided
I have decided to leave wikia all together. Many people have problems with my personality so I have decided to leave forever.
 * I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you will consider my advice above, I'm sure that the situation can be resolved in time. -- sannse (talk) 07:34, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Request
I know it's not your job to do so, but may you please clear the articles for speedy deletion at the Fanon Wiki for me? I don't have administrator privileges anymore (and don't want any, as you know) and therefore cannot do it myself, but I would like to have that content (which I created and "requested" for deletion) removed from the Wiki/history for good. Please and thank you. --Victor talk 09:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * All done. Perhaps whoever is active there can organise some new admins... looks like they are needed there -- sannse (talk) 16:59, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Skin
Right now, I have set my own preferences so I see things in the "Standard (Classic)" skin. I like a couple of things about it (especially, I hate sans-serif type!) and if I have any say in the matter. I'd really prefer a custom skin for Broadcasting, though I don't know CSS well enough to actually create such a thing. So I'd really like to have your help in setting things up before you go and switch it over from Quartz to Monaco. -- BruceG 13:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, do you have any ideas for colour schemes? One way to choose is to use a template and play around with the colours a bit.  There's one at Image:Skin base.png which might help.  Or some give me some ideas and I'll see what I can do! b I suggest we talk about this over at broadcasting.wikia :) -- sannse (talk) 14:57, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, see the User talk page under your ID on broadcasting.wikia. -- BruceG 22:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

New Skin
Hey Sannse,

Why do we have to move to the Monaco skin?I think the Quartz skin is fine right now.--  Seth   14:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's a general move to standardise the look of all Wikia wikis a bit more (although you can customise Monaco). we are visiting wikis all over Wikia at the moment to help them transfer to the new skin.  It's partly for the adversisers, so that they see us as one "package" and not lots of little sites, partly so that we can concentrate on developing one sking, and partly because we believe Monaco is a better skin - especially for new users.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience in thsi, but hopefully I can help if you want to make Monaco a bit yours.  Or, of course, Sapphire Monaco uses the same scheme as Sapphire Quartz - so hopefully not too big a jump. -- sannse (talk) 15:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I changed the skin,even though I don't like the fact much that the adverts are in the article space.Oh well.And,can you do me a favor?It seems that the language widget for monaco isn't showing the other languages of Custom Bionicles.If you can fix that,it would be great.--  Seth   02:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've set them up, and added the code to the main pages, all looks good :) thanks for switching -- sannse (talk) 14:06, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks,but I have two more things (sorry).It appears that the Language module doesn't work on the Polish Custom Bionicles,although that probably has to do with the fact that that the domains are different (polish is pl.custombionicles.wikia.com,while German & english is on custombionicle.wikia.com).And if you can,please change  to   (to change the apple icon) so it would be   in LocalSetting.php.--   Seth   19:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem with the Polish wiki may have been caching... it's working for me. Are you still seeing that as broken?  What exactly do you see?  Are the links missing? or do they just go to the wrong place?
 * $wgAppleTouchIcon isn't one of the variables I am able to change. I've contacted one of the technical team to help, so will get back to you when I know more.  It may be that the version of MediaWiki that we are using is before the version that was introduced in - although I don't think so from the documentation.  Anyway, I'll let you know as soon as I find out more -- sannse (talk) 13:34, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah,the lang module is working on all sites now.Before,it only showed Polish on CBW PL (Custom Bionicles Wiki PL).As for ,it seems that Wikia wikis are running on an older revision than the one that introduced   (Wikia runs on  ,stated in Special:Version,the one that introduces $wgAppleTouchIcon is  ).However,I stopped by Bioniclepedia and they announced that "Bioniclepedia now has an iPhone icon.".iPhone icon  is the same thing as  ,if I'm not mistaken,so I'm not sure what's the problem.--   Seth   19:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've asked for more information on this, so hopefully I should knw more soon. But I suspect you are right, it's a version issue.  I don't have a date for the upgrade to 1.13 yet, but I've heard the techy types mention it a few times, so hopefully not too far away. That will almost certainly solve the problem -- sannse (talk) 09:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

System messages
Hello. I asked on forum a long time ago about the translations, but without any answer. I was admin and translator on Internationalization Wikia to translate the interface messages to Bulgarian. Where and how to request admin flag for messaging.wikia.com, because there are many messages that require translation? --DCLXVI 15:29, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi DCLXVI. Yes, translations have got somewhat off-track on our part since Rieke moved on.  But we are trying to get things working again now.  Avatar has set up a mailing list at http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/wikia-translations-l and I'm going to set up a new section in the Central Forums today.  We won't be giving out admin flags for messaging, but we will be setting up better ways of communicating that translations are ready and getting them live.  We are also looking into the translation extension that BetaWiki use.  So, for now, please just point me or other staff towards the translations you've done and we'll get them live.  And it would be great if you would join us on the mailing list and forum to work out the best ways to organise all this.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 08:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I joined the mailing list. I know the Translate extension, because I am translator on Betawiki, where I translate to Bulgarian both MediaWiki software and the available extensions. --DCLXVI 09:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's great, it will be good to have you with us as we get translations back on track -- sannse (talk) 09:37, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Some problem in Nonciclopedia
Hi, I'm Pfenner a Nonciclopedia's admin.

We're having some technical problem, I resume them in the following points:
 * All the pages under the namespace NonDizionario are disappeared and we can't retrieve them, this happened after the creation of this namespace.
 * The new namespace NonNotizie seems to be ignored from the articles count.
 * We can't use the "upload image" during the edit of an article: after uploading an image, the "insert image" button doesn't work.

I'm sorry if something is not clear. Thanks for help! --Pfenner 17:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Pfenner
 * This is being fixed. They should have been moved before the namespace was made (and moved back afterwards) but that bit was missed - oops!  They will be back shortly.
 * Can you list all the namespaces that should be included in the article count? I'll make sure all is set up correctly
 * I see the issue with the "upload image" button - I'll get this reported. The problem is that this button has been replaced by a new system, but that new system is only available on Monaco skin.  I'll find out more.
 * -- sannse (talk) 09:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The only new namespace that should be included in the article count is NonNotizie. Thanks again! --Pfenner 11:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, that's done -- sannse (talk) 11:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

YoutubePoopFan
Someone going by the name of YoutubePoopFan has created a load of nonscense pages. A few have been deleted, and I've tagged the rest. Could you please delete the pages (and possibly block him)? -- Yowuza TALK 2 ME! 19:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Yowuza, looks like Uberfuzzy got to it :) -- sannse (talk) 09:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

New skin
I'm still wondering about the serif vs. sans-serif type problem; I did address a couple of other comments to you on User talk:Sannse today, but this question is the main one that would concern me before changing my default. I don't really understand the files that you created/copied, so I'm not likely to edit them, but except for the type I can live with them as is. -- BruceG 17:33, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
