How to lock my wikia ?
Hi.

I created a wikia to help people, but now the community doesn't exist anymore. I asked them if they want to be admin, but they don't.

The wiki is about helping people on 2 games (Denpamen) by giving a lot of usefull infos. Now that everybody lost the will to continue playing, I want the wiki to be a "read only".

It happens 5 times that some user posts junks on the wiki, I don't want to spend all my life to watch it. For that reason, we agreed that the wiki need to be blocked (not deleted), in case one guy in the future want some infos on these games.

So I come here to ask you : Is it possible to restrict the permissions of the wiki, so that the admin can mod it but every other Users + Anon can only read the wiki.

Thanks for reading.


 * No, there isn't. Wikia does not offer private wikis in the manner you are looking for. Wikia wikis are meant to be collaborative and anyone can edit. You can always promote an admin or two if you're not able to look after the wiki. Rappy 17:59, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

Multiple Picture Upload
I can't find out which user role you need to have to get the multiple photo upload option.

I can't add pages to any wikis. It says the wiki doesn't have that page, and I have good ideas!Anthonyjason15 (talk) 16:59, April 25, 2014 (UTC)Anthonyjason15

Adding Groups to Wikia
I need the Wikia staff create groups on Wikia that are global or managed on every wiki. Groups are global moderators, image controllers , blog patrollers and custodians that needed to be added on Wikia, was the same as the phpBB groups management that can be managed by an admin or founder on every wiki like as administrators , bureaucrats , rollback and chat moderators on those users request! Added those will be available in the user rights management by an admin when we've created those on a request! -- 14:16, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * You can suggest it on Special:Contact. However, I doubt they're creating more global positions (other than Staff, Helper, VSTF and I probably forgot some) without a clear mission brief or at least a different explanation from "that other site has this too". Wikia manages and recruits these global positions very carefully (as they should), and they definitely won't be available in the regular User Rights Management, if they're made at all. -- Tupka 217 14:24, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Staff do not create global usergroups on request. However, they may consider local wiki usergroups instead for your wiki. – Ozuzanna 14:25, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) I told you 10,000 times to Special:Contact. 2) Staff won't add them to your sandbox wiki as there's no point. 3) They won't add it globally, again, no point and too many changes. 14:30, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've contacted Wikia staff about I need them to create groups that are managed. -- 15:24, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Personally, I fail to see the need. You can ask them, but make sure to explain why these are needed. Folly titles add nothing. -- Tupka 217 15:46, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Bureaucrats and Rollbacks Query
Are bureaucrats able to give themselves adminship?

Also is it possible to give rollbacks the ability to delete things? -- Stryzzar 02:55, October 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Per the top of the page, this talk page is about suggesting changes to the help page, not asking questions. For that, you should be using the Forum -- a place that your question will be viewed by many more users and hopefully answered much quicker than here.


 * To answer your questions: yes and yes. The latter would have to be requested through Special:Contact though and would probably require some form of community consensus or discussion. Rappy 03:55, October 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thankyou so much, and sorry about the question thing. Stryzzar 11:25, October 17, 2014 (UTC)

Sarah Jane Wikia
Hi on the Sarah Jane Wikia I want to become an admin member of the wikia but there is no one active on the website apart from me. I want to make the wikia better and being an admin will surely help as I have other high positions on other wikis.

Thanks http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:GamerKid248


 * You can adopt it. -- Tupka 217 21:42, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

Order and Moderator
I think the order of user rights on the local level should be rearranged. Maybe Registered-Autoconfirmed-Emailconfirmed-Checkuser-Rollback-Moderator-Chatmoderator-Administrator-Bureaucrat-Founder-Bot? Right now it just seems out of order. Also, you should specify that Admin rights include Moderator rights as well. And maybe specify if Admins can give users moderator or rollback rights. Similar issue with bureaucrat. Would be nice if you could specify that they can manipulate moderator rights. CloneMarshalCommanderCody (talk) 04:34, January 29, 2015 (UTC)

HELLO!
Hey! I've looked FOREVER, and i've found no way to edit names for user right groups on a local wiki. I've been wanting to learn how to do this. I have been learning how wikia works on my testing wiki so I can help improve the Castle Crashers wiki. ANYWAYS, being able to create custom user rights groups would be great. Ragonoid (talk) 13:49, February 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Here. -- Tupka 217 14:02, February 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Addendum: you can change the names and create new tags, but you can't create new groups with powers. For that, you need to ask staff at Special:Contact/general; give good arguments for why you need that (and don't overkill). But they might say no. -- Tupka 217 14:03, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

Crats removing bot flag
Can someone confirm if this part is true: "Bureaucrats also have the ability to revoke a user's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioning" Some crats on some wiki's I've been to have reported that they can't remove a user's bot status at all. Is it a bug on some wiki's, or did Wikia retroactively remove this ability for some reason? --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 16:21, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * By default, that is correct in that bureaucrats have the ability to remove bot rights. The fact that this isn't the case on some wikias should be reported to Special:Contact. It sounds like someone made a mistake when a custom usergroup was added or removed and should be fixed.
 * It is also possible that this was done intentionally. There have been cases where wikias had abused the power to demote bots and it was taken away. Regardless, to get this investigated, please toss the details to Special:Contact. Thanks. Rappy 16:36, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Late, but thanks Rappy! I'll get a crat over on one of the wiki's where I'm aware of this bug to contact Wikia to get it fixed. Thanks! :) --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 16:56, March 27, 2015 (UTC)

User rights that are not yet listed
Help:User rights is missing information on Restricted-login, Image Reviewers, Content-reviewer, and Wikifactory, among other user rights. If anyone knows the details of these user rights could they add it to the help page? --


 * This page does not need to have a list of every single user right that exists, especially for rights that no-one outside of Wikia employees are likely to have :) As such, these are not items we plan to add. 15:09, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Question
I have a weird problem on one wikia I'd never expirienced through 6 years of editing different Wikias. Admin warned me (in a somewhat rude form) about contents of my user page, specifically about a list of all of my contributions I maintain systematically on an each user page on each Wikia. He says that that's why we have contributions pages (which list all of what we did chronologically, while I maintain the list to see specifically how much articles and categories I've created and how much of what I did and also to make it easily visible by others) so there is no need in that. But a question there is whether he has the right to tell me, what I should or should not have on my user page, if I have nothing prohibited/offending on the page?

Admin is a Wikia Star, he's quite good at what he does but we had a few disagreements about his ultra-minimalistic approach on anything as he restricts pages from being in more then three-to-five categories and deletes nearly anything that he thinks is "speculative", which is frankly speaking is anything that was not directly and obviously stated on the TV series in question, so he more or less restricts users from making logical conclusions.

As I disagreed with his opinion on a few occasions (I was not protesting or adding something again, I just said that my opinion differs) such looks to me like he's nit-picking to have me banned. --Тостер (talk) 07:46, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe that user pages inside a local wiki would fall in the category of a local issue - i.e. user pages are observed as part of local rules and admins and he more than likely has a fair amount of control over that. You can talk to him in a reserved manner about it and see if he understands, or if that's not possible you could simply reduce the list (like removing 'minor edits' and store the contents elsewhere. Noreplyz  talk  09:18, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * As Wikia Staff, I wouldn't say we have a very strong opinion on the matter - but personally, I would say that a user page can contain whatever the heck the user wants, as long as it abides by the Terms of Use and doesn't interfere with the rest of the community. While local communities can set their own rules, we'd recommend against making them very strict since that will likely just discourage editors. 14:50, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's basically what I feel like - discouraged. He says that I'm "constantly editing your userpage (sic!) to the point where it's considered spam editing". --Тостер (talk) 00:14, November 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * If that is the case, consider keeping your profile edits to once a week or once a fortnight (and store your progress into a text file or something). The admin may just be cautious of flooding the Recent Changes/Wiki Activity, which may prevent effective monitoring of edits in the wiki. Noreplyz  talk  00:24, November 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * That is what I'm more or less going to do, but he explicitly, twice, said that that's why you need "contributions" page, so I'm now afraid to get banned without warning... Great thanks for advice, anyway... --Тостер (talk) 01:55, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

Demoting Bureaucrats
Hello!

Currently I am an admin on the Survivors by Erin Hunter Wiki. With the start of a new year, we, the other staff of the wiki, were wondering how it was possible to demote bureaucrats. I've currently done the reading on the User Rights page, and it says that other than demoting themselves, Staff can remove their rights. Considering that most of these users have personally said they were stepping down or leaving the wiki for good (or haven't been contributing for years and inactive), I was wondering if I could be directed to the place or person to speak about removing these individuals as bureaucrats. We're hoping to clean through our staff list.

Thank you!

15:36, January 3, 2016 (UTC)


 * If the bureaucrat has been inactive for over a year (and you're an admin on the Wiki/ if other active admins get their consent to it in a thread) send into Staff in Special:Contact/general to remove the rights. If the bureaucrat has been active within the last year, start a public discussion with the community on removing their rights. If the majority agree, then send it to Staff in Special:Contact/general.

Content moderator tag
Hi, I've seen that the sentence "Having this status causes "CONTENT MODERATOR" to appear next to the username on the user's userpage." is hidden now with the explanation: Not true, yet!

Does that mean this tag shall be given in the future or what does it mean?

Volunteer Spam Task Force / Administrator Rights
It says that VSTF have Administrator access across all Wikia. Is it supposed to mean that they have access to the administrator user-group (which is true if this is the case). Or is it supposed to mean that they have all the same tools that administrators have (which isn't true since examining the ListGroupRights page shows that despite having access to the administrator user-group; they actually have fewer individual rights as a standalone group than administrators do, although the tools that VSTF have that administrators don't, make them more efficient with cleaning up spam). ―  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 09:00, April 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * „Administrator access“ just means that one has much more abilities than regular users. It didn't say administrator-group-equal user rights, btw. Nevertheless, I've rephrased „administrator access“ into „extended user rights“ to avoid future confusion. :) -- AmonFatalis 10:59, April 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * There's confusion with "administrator access" for Vstf, yet under Helpers having it worded as "having most staff rights" doesn't confuse for being Staff?
 * Yes. When tallying up their rights, Staff have the most rights of any user-group. Helpers have the second highest number of rights, followed by Admins 3rd, and VSTF 4th. But that aside, when looking at the user-rights these groups have, Helpers don't even have all the tools extended to Administrators or even Discussion Moderators. While Helpers do have a significantly higher number of staff rights than VSTF, I think that the information regarding Helpers should be rephrased. ―  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 22:05, April 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * I doubt that anybody would have mislead assumptions on the groups' tasks and permissions, only because of this page's blurry/inaccurat use of the terms „administrator access“ or „most staff rights“. But I've rephrased the section, highlighting the connection between staff-like tasks and user rights. -- AmonFatalis 23:37, April 20, 2016 (UTC)

Moderators
I've noticed that discussion mods can also be chat mods. Honestly, I don't think that was at all necessary. If a person wanted to make someone a discussion mod and a chat mod, they could've just added both rights. Because of this, the Pokemon Wiki currently has 8 chat mods when there are only supposed to be 3 (including me). I would like an answer to why this is thought to be correct.

Thank You.

 * If several users on that wiki are feeling that way, An administrator or bureaucrat on that wiki could always send a message to Wikia Staff, requesting that the chat moderator rights that are included with discussion moderator be removed. But they usually won't accept these sorts of requests, unless a community consensus is reached. But I see no reason why they should remove chat moderator abilities from discussion moderators on all wikis, and I would be strongly opposed to such a change, as that would be detrimental to the system of various wikis. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 03:17, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

11:47, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * Although that is true, I've talked to two bureaucrats of the wikia (one had recently resigned his position due to not playing pokemon anymore), and one who's almost always on the wikia. The former bureaucrat was also strongly against this and the other bureaucrat didn't seem to thinkn that this was a good idea either. I'll go and ask them if they think that removing the right at least within the pokemon wikia would be a good idea.

Making a user an admin
Myself and a fellow admin are trying to make another user an admin...however we can't...We aren't getting the administrator option on the right. Why it is that we can't make this user an admin? We're admins so we should we able to, right? CureHibiki (talk) 03:05, October 7, 2016 (UTC)

Question
According to the terms of use, it's not allowed to attempt to impersonate another user or person. Does it also referring to users that almost have same username as an Admin on a Wiki? HorizonStriker (talk) 12:48, October 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * Can you give an example of what you mean? If someone intentionally has a name that's almost identical to someone else's (and are using it to confuse people), then yes - that's against the rules. 14:37, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

For example that there is an other user on the Symphogear Wiki (which that I'm an Admin on) that is using almost the same username as mine. That user also has multiple accounts that has been copying my username with the same style. HorizonStriker (talk) 15:59, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

 * They were removed because someone had adopted the wiki in November and you had been inactive for at least a year, as you can see here. I doubt Staff will give you your rights back, and the admins haven't been inactive for 60 days, so you wouldn't be able to adopt the wiki back again. Staff will most likely tell you to contact the admins on the wiki about it.-- Annabeth and Percy 🎵I hear the bells, they're ringing loud and clear. You can't help but love this time of year.

 * Generally CheckUser rights aren’t granted unless the Wiki you administrate is very large & has a history of incessant vandalism.

Badges Suggestion/Question
Specifically the Content Moderator icon (the pencil), where does the ever show up? It doesn’t show up in Discussions (I checked), & I’m fairly certain it doesn’t who up in Chat because I’ve never seen it. I think I read somewhere that some of those badges don’t actually show up, they’re just there for a complete set as it were. So I’d like to ask; which badges do show up, & where? Should that information not be on the Help page? Beyond that, why don’t Rollbacks, Bureaucrats, or even Founders have badges? I could get Founders not having them, but Rollbacks could at least share the Content Mod badge like Chat Mods do with the Discussions Mod badge. I think there should be consistency; badges for all, or badges listed only where they are actually used on-site.


 * Yeah. Im still wondering the same thing too. As for these screenshots:




 * I don't know...-- CavaX 11:07, June 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * And I also notice the bureaucrats hasn't a badge...-- CavaX 11:08, June 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * It would be pointless for Founders to have their own badges since it's just a title that doesn't come with any additional rights, although they are given admin and bureaucrat status upon founding the wiki. I agree that Roll-backers should have the same badge as Content Moderator since they are basically to a Content Moderator, what a Chat Moderator is to a Discussion Moderator. Not sure whether Bureaucrats have their own badge, or rather, not sure what badge they should have, whether they should have their own sort of badge, since I'm unsure what sort of symbol would represent a Bureaucrat. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 11:42, June 10, 2017 (UTC)

The Content Moderator badge is used on Special:Community - and these badges will likely be shown in more places as we continue updating site features. 15:05, June 12, 2017 (UTC)

Rollback right and moving images
When you have the Rollback right you can move images as well or you can move em without creating a redirect. -- Chillispike (talk) 11:01, August 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * If I recall correctly, that is an Admin & Content Mod right, not a rollback right.


 * Actually they can't. Users with rollback rights can revert edits more quickly than regular users can, which makes one powerful tool in the right hands, but a rather destructive tool in the wrong hands. But no. Moving images and moving pages without leaving behind a redirect is something that only Administrators and Content Moderators can do. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 11:04, August 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Rollback rights are only for reverting edits with only one taste. So can't delete pages and then they can't move the pages without no leaving redirect, but content moderator, sysop, vstf, helper and staff, can.-- CλVλX 11:14, August 18, 2017 (UTC)

Power User
What is a power user? I read somewhere that it has an edit requirement?


 * Thread:1169042 should prove enlightening.
 * In theory, but the linked pageViewTracking.js is a 404. I collected some "red user links" in a category:poweruser to document that they aren't random users from outer space, but bots + staff + VSTF with a user page here. Do you have an idea what the new Project:Fandom-editor is about? –  Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  02:53, November 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * Non-VSTF/Staff/Bots do have the poweruser right however, & I’ve seen powerusers a few months ago without a user-page on Central, unless I misread you. The GitHub link throwing a 404 is interesting though, perhaps the group was tweaked. Regarding FANDOM-editor group; that’s for the Fan-Contributor program that allows users to contribute to FANDOM Stories / editorials.


 * Yes, other powerusers might exist, but the category mentioned above mostly contains one-line  user pages created by a third party (=me).
 * Here I could redirect Project:Fandom-editor to w:c:www:fan-contributor, but I'm looking for a shared help page (section) as target working everywhere. Should it be a new #Global_level sub-section, another hidden anchor for #Other_groups, or a new sub-section of #Other_groups? – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  04:22, November 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * I’m not sure I grasp the significance. As for where to put Fan-Contributors; Global level seems inappropriate, since they don’t get a Masthead Tag / other signifiers on their profiles, & because they don’t have rights on the Wikia side of FANDOM. Linking to Other groups doesn’t sit right either, since the group is not unused. So, I am unsure. Perhaps simply linking to  without any anchors would be ideal, or maybe no redirect at all. Perhaps Staff could be consulted.


 * ✅: It's a wiki, you rejected 2 of 3 proposals, I picked the 3rd.&#x202f;;-) I dislike red links on Special:ListGroupRights, that's now fixed. Staff is aware of this "project". – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  04:57, November 21, 2017 (UTC)

 * In theory you could preserve the plurals as anchors, cf., in practice if it ain't broke, don't fix it. – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  04:35, December 23, 2017 (UTC)

Re-adding Utilities
Shouldn't Utilities be re-added to the user rights list? I know they probably aren't as sufficiently important as VSTF, Helpers, and Staff to mention them on the page, and I know that they are rights that no one but Wikia employees are likely to have, but they do hold significance.

There are quite a number of things that Utilities can do that Staff on their own cannot do, but many Staff members, including the Community Support Staff have Utility rights anyway. For one thing, Utilities have access to all the global permissions, whereas Staff on their own cannot add much outside all the local permissions. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 21:56, January 10, 2018 (UTC)
