arrange of wikis display
Hey sannse I was a bit bored and decide to arrange the dofus wiki list by language instead of the time frame take a look. Wanted to know if its ok or should I undo my edit? thanks --
 * looks good� :) It's still not clear what the best thing will be to do with blue-box pages... they have become impossible to maintain manually or automatically now (as a whole I mean)... but a nice arrangement on that one� :) -- sannse (talk) 13:42, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

I just would like created one final wiki for myself, to be administrator.

Details:

Category: Creative

Sub-Category: Wikinations


 * Hi, you should be able to create this at Special:CreateWiki - sannse (talk) 13:44, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

What happened to Catherine Munro?
I feel weird for asking and all, but I am sure I'm not the only one missing her. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  06:14, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, she's away at the moment, but should be back very soon� :) -- sannse (talk) 13:45, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * At the moment? It's almost a month� :( I also miss her. -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk   My Workload  15:59, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hey the nanovor wiki needs help. dont be suprised if its way better when im done. --Piplupower 23:17, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Create Wiki Special does not work
The Create Wiki special always displays this message when I try it: Process not completed....error. So I need you to create the wiki for me. --Brenda Young 23:15, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you tried with a different computer? Or a different browser? -- Sannse 23:58, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

arcapedia: reminder
It's been a couple months now. Found out anything on this yet? Thanks... – Sas 13:18, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Gah, I'm sorry... something really weird is going on. It should be working now... but it isn't. I've re-opened the bug report -- Sannse 00:01, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Purpose?
I thought that creating a wiki was a planning tool, not a public space. I'm interested in just having a planning tool. If it's public, I should change my wiki pages....? 
 * Yes, all Wikia wikis are public. Although you can use them for planning projects if that's what you weant� :) -- Sannse 00:04, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Dinosaur Wiki
I know you're the admin of it. But why are there so less updates? It's one reason I notify you to keep it up. I've uploaded some images and edited some pages. I've added dinosaur Statistics. I can make the logo for the wiki too. It's a kinda dry there. Or maybe could you make me an admin? Thanks for your time in reading this,

-- Sanguinoraptor 09:37, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm not an admin there... I am one of the staff on Wikia, so just appear on various wikis at times� :) If you want to adopt the wiki, then please have a look at the adoptions page -- Sannse 00:13, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Default Skin
This may sound like a stupid question, but how do I change my wiki's default skin to MonoBook? I've changed it in my personal preferences but for others it remains Monaco. Is it possible to make MonoBook my wiki's default skin for everyone who visits?

--I was planted as a seed but I grew too tall for my own good. Now my head is above the clouds. 21:39, January 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, that's not an option we offer at Wikia. You can choose Monobook for yourself, but the default is always a Monaco skin. Sorry -- sannse (talk) 18:48, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

FW:VSTF
Ok. But, try to work more here. A question, how to remove the prefix wiki of the name of a wiki? 23:43, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I already answered that at my talk page --

GrouchMan
Hi Lisa, I'm Jayden, one of the editors of the Harry Potter Wiki. I'm writing to you (as you know doubt will have guessed) about GrouchMan (T.J.) and before you say anything, no, he didn't ask me to do this. I've been looking through the case history of the two accounts GrouchMan, and Greymon101 on the Muppet Wiki. I have to say, there were no legitimate grounds for blocking him on either occasion. He joined the site under the GrouchMan account, and made allot of rookie mistakes. He didn't understand about messages left on his talk page, and how to respond to them. Because the Administrators believed him to be deliberately ignoring them - they banned him. He then created the Greymon101 account. Instead of pretending to be a different person, as he could have done (and many do) he confessed to being GrouchMan, apologised for his past mistakes, and asked for a second chance, which they gave him. However, a short while later, he was banned again. This time he made different mistakes. He spent a lot of time fixing redirects, and while this was largely unnecessary, it wasn't detrimental to the wiki, and so I don't believe an indefinite ban was justified. Since joining the Harry Potter Wiki, T.J. has matured vastly, and has become one of the site's most active and helpful contributors. He's not only an extremely skilled editor, but also a kind, considerate person, and a good friend. Personally I (like you) feel he would be better off without the Muppet Wiki because, A: his departure would be a great loss to the Harry Potter Wiki and B: he's a far better editor than the Muppet wiki deserves. However, I'm his friend, and this means allot to him. So, I'm asking you one last time to reconsider your position on this matter. Don't take my word for it however, take a look at the talk pages in question and come to your own conclusion. If the blocks are to stay, then at the very least, they need to be reduced, because being human and making mistakes his no excuse for permanently banning someone. I'm sure you, as a staff member will agree. Thanks for listening. Jayden Matthews 09:32, January 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, at this point, it's really best for him to move on. And for others to encourage him to do that rather than bug people on his behalf� :) Thanks -- sannse (talk) 01:16, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hardly think it's fair to say I'm "bugging" you. I left you one message. I don't agree with your descision, I think it's outrageous to ban someone for making mistakes, and your reinforcement of this sends a very bad message. But I'm not going to argue with you over this. I've founded a new Muppet Wiki for T.J. to edit, so, that should be that end of it. Jayden Matthews 08:34, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh not me� :) I don't feel bugged at all. But this is a long-standing issue about GrouchMan persistently contacting Muppet Wiki admins via several wikis, after being asked to leave them alone... and now asking others to continue in this. That's just not acceptable.
 * But the solution of another muppet wiki sounds like a good one. I hope it works! -- sannse (talk) 17:47, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
I just started a kid-powered wiki called Kids Wiki, and I was wondering if you help me get it noticed and help me give it a friendly image. Thank you! P.S. My friend has been trying to create an account, and no matter how hard he tries, it doesn't work. Can you hlp me with that as well?


 * Hi someone on the Forums may be able to help you with a logo� :) For your friend, please ask him to use Special:Contact to give us as much information as possible about the problem, and we'll try to help -- sannse (talk) 01:18, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi again. Well, he insists that I do it myself, so let me explain: every time he goes onto Kids Wiki and attempts to create an acoount, a message pops

up that says, "unable to create registration" and provides a link to the main page. So, I have been trying to create the accoumt myself but the problem still occurs.

In our latest attempt, we tried to create a default wiki and create an account at the same time, no effect. Please help us, as we cannot have as much users if they cannot create accounts.- SmashHero

P.S. If you need it, the web address is www.kidsknowledgebase.wikia.com. Thanks!

Maintenance
Yesterday, I helped a lot with keeping the images. The truth, is that people upload the images unnecesary, moreover: don't give license or categorize, and not even use them. But I work in this. Regards, 13:12, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Fossil Fighters Wiki Adoption
Did you make us Blueacrats too� ? BillboyX 02:54, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, but I can do so when you need it in the future� :) Admin is enough for nowe -- sannse (talk) 17:52, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay understood. There is now one to make admins. Could you do me a favor and try to get in contact with Cyberscribe and Barrahkshi they haven't been on in a while. BillboyX 00:23, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Problem with my adminship
You recently let me adopt the Text adventure Wiki (http://textadventure.wikia.com/wiki/Text_adventure_Wiki) and made me an admin, but appearently nothing happen. I checked what usergroup I'm in and it says I'm in a group called "no group" (ha, how impossible!) instead of administrator, bureaucrat, or sysop. Please fix this problem. - TrailWalker 04:57, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, I must have missed it. It's fixed now. You may need to re-log in to see the change -- sannse (talk) 17:55, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Adoption Requests
Could address this message, please. Sarah agree my to admin group, for is inactive. --Ivancillo (talk) 09:52, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sarah asked you to contact other users on the wiki first. Please do that, and let me know where you talked to them and what they said. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:57, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Masterkyogren accepts that mean that I take the wiki. I talk with he on him user talk in Ratchet and Clank Wiki. He accepted I mean admin, and I agree him to the admin group. This is the link. (Sorry, is in Spanish) and I said him he wrote "Yes,I accepted" in a link .He accepted.--Ivancillo (talk) 13:44, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Language confusion� :) sorry about that. I've asked Sarah to look (she's back now) -- sannse (talk) 02:27, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Admin rights
I know why they were taken away, so I don't need anyone to explain to me why it happened. I didn't want to keep my sysop rights either, or else I would've ceased what I was doing. The Central Wikia doesn't need me as a sysop here anymore anyway, but thanks for showing your appreciation toward my past contributions. As of now, I don't wish to speak privately about the matter; I'm perfectly fine with the outcome. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:42, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's okay. Thanks. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 01:14, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Legacy of Kain
Hello, thanks for your input on the Kain adoption request, my rationales are now here:

http://legacyofkain.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Discussion:_request_for_adoption

Just to clarify, it is my "policy" to create a decent .css before starting sustained editing, as I work on a plasma screen and have a fear of blindness by pure-white .htmls� :P. I don't anticipate much of a response, but there it is anyway. I'll keep an eye on it, so let me know if I should notify you of how the discussion stands at some point.

If this stage also ends up going nowhere, I'd ask at least that someone with rights upload the .css I prepared - for future reference, would you suggest anywhere specific it should be hosted so such a person can access it? Thanks, --Dubiel 16:04, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've added a site notice, please let me know if you want the wording changed. Let's give it a week or so and see if anyone responds.


 * A sub-page of your user page is always good for any sort of drafts that you want others to check out. But hopefully the discussion you have started will make that unnecessary� :) -- sannse (talk) 18:04, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Fanon Section
Hi Sannse, I have a question about fanon. The Avatar Wiki has a fanon section, and I wanted to do something like that to my wiki. But apparently, they have another skin for the fanon... how do you do that? Is there any specific help to create a fanon section? If you could answer me, it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -- Shadow Na'vi ~  Talk  19:41, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, the set up of the namespace is something we can do for you, just let us know what you need via Special:Contact.. But the styling is done with some extreme customisation via css and (possibly) javascript. I can't help you with that, it's way beyond me� :) but possibly someone from the wiki can give you a hand. Or ask on the forums, there are a few styling gurus around there. Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 02:33, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot. I've sent a message to Special:Contact... and I've never used it before, so how long do I have to wait? They'll get me back at my email or talk page? -- Shadow Na'vi ~  Talk  03:48, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * We usually reply quite quickly (via email), but it depends on the backlog - we don't reply much at weekends, so Mondays are slow too! You should hear soon -- sannse (talk) 17:08, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

IRC Cloak anomaly
Hi there.

First off, apologies for adding to a busy talk page. You're kind of the Wikia IRC person for me.� :P

I recently made a donation to FreeNode and consented to them adding to my cloak so that others might see it and... be inspired. However, I noticed that (I presume to size restrictions) my cloak went from @wikia/A-F-K-When-Needed to @wikia/pdpc.professional.A-F-K. Needless to say; that's not my Wikia user name.

So if at all possible, I'd like to benefit from the wisdom of someone who regularly spends time on IRC. I'd like to keep the extension, but I'm aware that I'm no longer sticking to the normal naming convention. I'd also like to keep the Wikia cloak, so...

I'm not sure what'll sound like the logical course. Be it me registering "A F K" and making User:A F K redirect to User:A F K When Needed on every Wiki I edit, or my account name being changed (if that's an option) or what. If absolutely necessary I'll drop one or the other so that I stop being too long, but if at all possible I'd love for there to be another solution.

Thanks for your time, and I can only apologize for the small novel that this has become. A F K When Needed 19:42, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Best thing is simply to talk to freenode... they can set it to anything. From our side, we can make an exception to the rule that cloak should match username - if that helps? Or... you could donate lots more to them and be odpc.gold - that's lots less letters!� ;) I wouldn't worry too much in this case, and I'm glad you are donating to freenode, they do a great thing in letting us all use their network -- sannse (talk) 17:31, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi again� :)
 * Thanks for the response; I appreciate the willingness to make an exception.
 * Inspiration struck... finally, while writing this very message. Well, not inspiration so much as something obvious I should've done from the start. A WHOIS on me will reveal A_F_K  “A F K When Needed on Wikia” which should help (if someone's trying to identify me, I'm hoping they'll at least WHOIS me; otherwise they're a crap detective).
 * While I'd love to, I'm going to be starting college soon so I'm not sure Gold is an option� :(
 * Thanks again for being so flexible about it� :D A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 19:51, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Resent Stab
You just resentaly told me to welcome to me to my own wiki called stab!!!!!!


 * Hi, that's because you aren't logged in with the account that you used to make the wiki. If no admin logs in, then the system welcomes any new editors with a staff name (like mine). It can't tell that you are the same person if you are using a different account. You may want to give admin rights to the account you want to use, or just use the account that already has admin rights -- sannse (talk) 23:44, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
