#wikia-logos
Hi Sannse, I dont suppose you could set the following on #wikia-logos, I dont have the flags: /cs set #wikia-logos URL http://logocreation.wikia.com/wiki/Logo_Creation_Wiki. Thanks, --Lcawte 09:39, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

#wikia IRC scripts
Hiya.

I'm contacting you for guidance as I personally disagree with a direction #wikia seems to be taking a first step in. On the channel GreenReaper is well known and used for his !seen script, informing people of when someone was last on #wikia. It's an oft-used service which I'm quite in favour of.

Jaymach, however, has seemingly decided to join in. Using a !seen command now results in two responses. One being GreenReaper, telling you when someone was last seen. The other being Jaymach telling us that it hasn't seen such a user. Which is rather less helpful.

Example:


 * !seen FastLizard4
 *  [%] eulalia, well... i don't remember seeing [FastLizard4] :\ .«UPP».
 *  FastLizard4 was last seen 1 day 10 hr 34 min 28 s ago on #wikia

Every !seen command I witnessed raised the same useless response. If that's luck or some other factor I don't claim to know at this time.

My attempts to discuss this in #wikia were met with a frosty reception at best, and I was repeatedly asked to being my discussion somewhere else by Eulalia. Which I consider rather unhelpful for a support channel; I would've rather liked some support in establishing why Jaymach was doing that, if there was a reason for it. Then maybe being supported in my endeavor to find out what should be done if there was no reason behind the duplication.

And so I'm requesting some official input, for want of a better term, as I would like my point to be considered somewhere by someone. I like bots and scripts; they're quite useful and I've an interest in them on a personal level. However, there's nothing useful in what is effectively mild spam.

Thanks for your time. A F K When Needed 19:45, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * From #wikia's topic: "Welcome to Wikia General Support". The channel is there for just that: Wikia support. Wikia support is support for just that: Wikia. Not IRC channels related to Wikia, nor the users who visit them.


 * "Jaymach, however, has seemingly decided to join in." I highly doubt the script was written for use in #wikia, but rather some other channel, and the script has the unknown-until-now side-effect of working in #wikia, as well as the other channel(s) it was made for.


 * "My attempts to discuss this in #wikia were met with a frosty reception at best, and I was repeatedly asked to being my discussion somewhere else by Eulalia." Yes. If I hadn't been there, another op would've told you to take it somewhere else. I'm not targeting you in particular; everyone who starts off-topic discussion receives the same response. The channel's purpose is for users to ask questions about Wikia and Wikia wikis, not start discussion about a user and his script that happens to idle in the channel.-- Austin (Talk) 19:53, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * For Wikia, yes. Not for Central Wikia. Not for wikianswers. For Wikia.
 * If that's not the appropriate place to discuss Wikia's IRC channel, then for the life of me I can't think of a more appropriate place.
 * Can you? It'd be good to know in case I should need to make use of one in the future. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 19:59, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) wikia-social is the channel used for off-topic questions, discussions, etc not related to support for Wikia and its wikis.-- Austin (Talk) 20:02, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Problems on #wikia are most certainly a topic for #wikia - and something that all ops should be responsive to. I've asked Jaymach to turn off his scrips, I agree that two are not necessary. And for both of you, please try not to bicker on my talk page! Thanks (and yes, still in that grumpy mood) -- sannse (talk) 20:07, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry :/
 * I'm trying to avoid bickering at all, but as per your request I'll move along.
 * Lurkers: to give Sannse peace if you wish to discuss this please use a rational location. Or my talk page, kthx. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 20:12, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Admin
All I need to know is now to make some one a admin?

22:20, February 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, if you are a bureaucrat, you can go to the page at "Special:UserRights" on your wiki and set rights there :) -- sannse (talk) 00:44, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you ^_^

Good day and have a wonderful life.

Eliminate Pro Wiki
Hey, I originally came here looking to see if you could help us solve our admin and bureaucrat crisis on the eliminate pro wiki. However, I looked around community central and found the adopt-a-wiki page and applied. If you could take a look at it, that would be great! - Rbatrack 04:03, February 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I see Catherine has looked at this -- sannse (talk) 22:46, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

IRC help!
Hi, I just created a new wiki. I created an IRC channel, but am not recognized as an op. How do I get myself to be an op. I am using http://webchat.freenode.net/ and the channel is #wikia-3fan. If you could help me learn to assign ops, that would be great. Find me on this wiki. if you can reply, reply on my talkpage: http://kingdomhearts3fan.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:ZexionTheGamer/

Thank you!


 * Hi, IRC isn't part of Wikia (it's just that some wikis use Freenode's services to communicate) so you will need to get help from Freenode's help pages. Or you could try our forum, there should be someone there who knows the answers. Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 19:58, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Bot flag
Hey sannse. I contacted you in IRC about giving bot flag to an InterWiki bot working in the Star Wars Wikis. You told me to get community approval and then contact you again, but I haven't managed to catch you in IRC lately. So, here's the approval and here's the user. Cheers. -- Xd1358(Talk) 05:50, February 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, that's fine, thanks for talking to the community. I've set the flag. It's usually best to use Special:Contact for things like this - much faster than trying to find me on IRC or leaving messages here :) -- sannse (talk) 19:58, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

No Ads Payment
Hi Sannse,

Last I heard from you, you were going to get the PayPal set up. It's almost March and I need to pay for this month too!

Please let me know if you have a system yet for this and I'll send payment for both February and March.

Thanks!

law suite?
Um I know this uder who made a ban tamplate that would purposely crash a users computer.....um us down at the the Sonic wiki banned the user but we fear he may be doing this on other wikis, could that cuase a law suite on media wiki and all other wikis? 06:51, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Special:Contact in emergency.. Could it cause a law suit on MediaWiki? Only if someone was silly enough to not pay attention to that the templates kinda vandalism? But its unlikely to end in Law suites. --Lcawte 10:20, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Redlinks
Hi Sannse. I was wondering if it was possible to disable the dialog box that pops up upon clicking a redlink in an article that asks whether you want to set an article to a "Standard layout" or "Blank page." Thanks,  R A  N 1 03:55, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's possible to turn off the page creation feature for a wiki, but not specifically for redlinks. Although, it does just mean clicking "enter" once to go to the default page (which can be set in your preferences) and means people have the choice of the format they want to use for a new article -- sannse (talk) 00:34, March 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, that isn't the problem. The Javascript interferes with my browser's "open in new tab" feature, which I often use in creating new pages. Instead of opening a new tab of the actual blank page when I ask it to do so, it tries to open a new tab with the same URL that I initiated the command from with a # attached to it (That would be a JS function, right?). Since there's a big project going on at Wikitroid, I'd like to shut it off so that my browser can do its own job. Is there possibly some way to disable the dialog box entirely through a user's JS subpage? It would be really helpful if there were. Thanks,  R A  N 1 20:50, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes... we saw that was a problem, and there is a bug ticket in the queue to fix that (I think by adding the option to preferences). In the mean time, you are probably best asking in the forums for one of the js gurus to help. Possibly there is a way to solve this, but you need someone cleverer than I to work it out! -- sannse (talk) 00:00, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

How to make a signature
Do you know how to make a signature?Aerith&amp;cloud14 23:21, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Search problem
Hello, there's a search problem in a greek wiki. The links of the search results don't work. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you.--sn00by click to freak 13:30, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, oh dear, I see there's a problem there. I've put in a bug report, hopefully someone will be able to look. In the mean time, you might want to use a site-specific search on Google - sannse (talk) 00:39, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Cross-Wiki Export/Import
Hello again! You recently answered my support request, but rather than replying for a simple question, I thought I'd come here (also in the hope that others might chime in if they see it). Besides, seeing "Sannse" without is just weird. ;) Changing the license of PB's wiki is easy; the biggest problem with exporting/importing I can see is that users would have no reason to visit the Wikia wiki after an export, and existing links have brought little attention to the wiki. This compromise is a bit sketchy, and a byte(:P) unnecessary, but see if you think it's possible: Sync the PBWiki with the EE Wiki often, and flag PB as $wgReadOnly (in LocalSettings). Understand that I'm not going to go home and cry myself to sleep if this is unrealistic, but I'm just trying to make everyone happy before looking into other methods; while a "merge" between two fansites with different purposes (information vs. socializing) has clear advantages for each, it won't break my heart to say no. What I don't want to do is forfeit this Wiki to the fates just so somewhere else can claim the information.

Unfortunately, the gears behind Wikis aren't my strong point. I would need (or at least like) the Edit links to be re-coded to link to the respective edit page at Wikia. I would also need (though it's not exactly Wikia's problem) a bot which could routinely download a dump -- preferably only of Recent Changes, but you know -- of the wiki and import it to the other info, while discarding pages that we would like to exclude (e.g. stylesheets). Apparently NavFrames/Collapsible Tables aren't working here, so I'm sorry if this takes up a lot of space. Fortunately for you I'm in a bit of a hurry at the moment, so this post can't be too long; from the few minutes of thought I've been giving this,

22:45, March 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I have to say that this sounds horribly complicated for very little benefit. It's certainly not difficult to make PBwiki read only, and weekly syncing would be possible with a bot (we try for weekly updates, but it's a bit slower right now - we hope to be back to weekly soon). But It seems to me the easiset thing would be for the guy to point his links at the Wikia wiki. I know he is concerned about ads, but it sounds better than the complexity of this way :) -- sannse (talk) 01:35, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Complexity is my strong point. What would I do with my free time if I couldn't bother everyone with unnecessarily complex solutions to simple problems?! :] Thanks for your time and help anyway though. 02:10, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother
Im really sorry to bother you but it seems like your still online right now. If so could you take the time to look over my custom robo wikia request in Community Central:Adoption requests? Please. You kind of skipped it.Progmansp 00:32, March 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that Progmansp, I was just clearing the new requests and didn't look at the ongoing ones :) yours is approved now -- sannse (talk) 01:29, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
