Mass Vandalism By Administrator
Hello, I have run into a problem while managing my Wikia. An user of Patapon Wiki was given the rights of a administrator by someone who I don't know the identity of, and this "administrator" deleted the front page, and locked the DATABASE of the Wikia. I need help on reversing his damage, and I have already blocked this user. Send help ASAP. Thank you.

E-mails
I have a problem that I need to have traced. I've stopped receiving e-mails for changes to watched/followed pages about 2 months ago. I've sent 3 e-mails through http://contact.wikia.com/ over the last 2 weeks and haven't gotten a response from that either. I fear that I never received the response e-mails. Nothing has changed on my end with my e-mail settings.

I've changed my e-mail settings to three different e-mail accounts with two different hosts and the same result. Claims to send a acknowledgment e-mail and it is never received on my end. The last Special:Contact I sent, I asked for a response on my talk page on the wikia I frequent, but I have not yet received one there either. Please respond with any course of action you wish me to make on my talk page if you can rather than here as it will be seen much quicker (since I don't receive changed pages e-mails anymore). If nothing else, drop a line there letting me know you replied here. Thank you for your time. Rappy 23:54, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

A woman upset
I edit at Bully Wiki, and I have a blog there that i've worked really hard on. And 2 of the bearucrats and 1 of the editors keeps commenting on my blog, and they don't even comment about my blog they just use my blog's comments as if it was a chatroom. It really hurts my feelings and they know that it makes me upset. If i yell at them to stop I'll be banned If I don't they'll keep using it as a chatroom. Please tell them to stop. I don't want to turn off comments but all i can do is hide their comments and that doesn't help.

I just don't know what to do. KSR 14:24, August 14, 2010 (UTC)Karensarahrocks

Blog comment flood
Two low resolution screenshots and a very unhelpful FAQ are not my idea of being communicative. However, I've decided to take a break from Community Wikia for an extended period, so you won't see my comments or much of anything for probably 3 months or more. Doing Wikia support for free just isn't fulfilling enough. I'm also taking a break from w:c:logocreation since all the logos I would have made would end up being unusable with the new skin.

I hope the community doesn't rip you guys apart like happened with the Monaco transition. I just don't get the sense your company has learned much from that experience.

P.S. You have a double standard. Was Alison22000's comment to me acceptable? I didn't see anything on her talk page.

-- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:46 PM PST 18 Aug 2010


 * The difference is that you, Fandyllic, are an experienced admin and editor who has over 1000 edits here and should know better. -- ◄mendel► 08:44, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not according to the ethos that admins and experienced editors should be treated no differently from newer, unexperienced editors. Also you are making an assumption about Allison22000. Maybe she is just active on wikis you never visit.
 * Besides, being an experienced admin has not really gotten me anywhere on Wikia. Disrespect seems to be the currency of the day. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 5:59 PM PST 19 Aug 2010
 * I checked Special:EditCount/Alison22000. My ethos: to a user who doesn't know the rules, I explain them; if it's a new user, I take care to not scare them away.
 * I feel with you on your second point, but dishing back disrespect in turn doesn't seem like a solution to me. -- ◄mendel► 08:16, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Don't disregard common sense: IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT
Letting people keep Monaco as a personal choice?! For a LIMITED time?! Wikia, don't force this skin on us. Listen to the Masses, the majority hate it, and a lot of people will have to rewrite their wiki's monaco-oriented code.

Even now, there are already threats to walk.

Do you want this to happen? Google has been shoving new "upgrades" down the YouTube users' throats for months. We'd walk there, too, but there's nowhere to walk, thanks to their monopoly.

Don't be a Google. Care for your customers, listen to them, and never force them to change unless they all want it. Don't do it, Wikia, don't let money and staying with the times blind you to the demands of your customers.

MAKE IT OPTIONAL OR YOU WILL REGRET IT.

 * Wow, chill. I know there are many people who dislike the new skin, including me, but messages like this won't fix the case. We just have to wait until the beta testers are selected, and then we will be able to judge. -- ( (  (  (  Matias   )  )  )  )  ~  Talk  AVATAR Wiki 22:22, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Make Users Admins
Hey i'm an admin on this Wiki and i was wondering how do i make other users admins.HazeShot 07:03, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * If "this wiki" is the Viewtiful Joe Wiki, you are a bureaucrat there now, and can use the page Special:UserRights on that wiki to appoint admins. Have a look at Special:SpecialPages, you should see few pages that weren't there before. -- ◄mendel► 08:10, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

The New Wiki Layout Questions
Once the new Wiki layout debuts, does that mean every single wiki will have to change their layout or keep the old ones, if chose to? And will this effect the infoboxes as well (i have trouble with them now) since i work hard on them? If we have to change to the new style can we choose to change it back to the original or no? Thank you. --KiumaruHamachi 15:20, August 20, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi


 * Yes, this will be the default layout for all wikis on Wikia. It won't affect infoboxes, those will look just the same, and still be on the left of the content area. Please see the FAQ for more details (it should be updated later today) -- sannse (help forum | blog) 21:20, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * On every wiki I've seen, infoboxes were on the right of the content area, opposite the sidebar. With the new layout, they can't be both. -- ◄mendel► 21:32, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Your Blog and the Feedback
Hello Sannse, I thought I should notify you of the large amount of negative feedback on your blog, in case you were not paying attention to it. Despite these Users not being beta testers (which something tells me they won't be, with their negative stance on it), their opinions should be heard, and the general opinion is that it should not be implemented period, should be saved for a later day, or should be strictly optional for wikis. While I may be only one User, I strongly suggest you and the rest of the Wikia Staff who are working on this, read and pay attention to the feedback on this, or Wikia is sure to lose a great many valuable and well-contributing Users, and quite possibly even a few wikis. Surely that is not worth trying to gain the attention of Unregistered Contributors and attempt to get them to create accounts. I truly think you and the other Staff should listen to what's being said, rather than deciding for yourselves what's best, or only listening to the positive feedback.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 20:36, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course we are following the blog comments - Sarah and I have both replied there serveral times too. We are listening to all comments, and in the process of updating the FAQ with more questions and answers. Please keep watching the blog for more replies -- sannse (help forum | blog) 21:36, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * In response to the above posted by "Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round ".

So are you telling me that those who already enjoy the new layout will be the only ones allowed to be beta testers? This means that any feedback you get on the 80 selected users is going to be largely swayed towards the positive, which would clearly be an unbalanced view, and only be listening to positive feedback which is in the overwhelming minority.

Furthermore Sansse, I would like to know if the negative feedback is being taken on board or not? Please hear me out. As a Lostpedian, I started life on there as an independant wiki site, free of Wikia's rules. Against our wishes we were moved to wikia, where we are constantly being forced to deal with formats that we do not like. It would be good if each Wiki had a choice to use the old style formatting or the new one, depending on its users needs.

A huge amount of Lospedia is our blog section. I am well aware than many admins are opposed to the blogs, and I am not sure which camp you are in. But regardless, don't you think a community has the right to keep it's blogs if they want them? We feel our blogs are being destroyed and nothing is being done about it. And if something is being done, then all I am asking for is a short one line response that our voice is being heard. Sometimes, we feel ignored at Lostpedia when we recieve no response.

Forgive me if I am wrong, and feel free to correct me, but I feel as if the majority isn't being listened to. I feel largely ignored. I feel that the staff are trying to implement what they want without listening to most of the feedback. Each wiki is unique, and these changes just aren't suited to some wiki's.

I hope you find the time to reply when you have the chance to. Finally, I plead with you that you response isn't simply "Look out on the blogs over the coming weeks - thanks" Because these blogs don't seem to be adressing the issue of other blogs, which is the question in hand! Thanks for your time. DaemonRising 23:17, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * We definitely want people with all views in the Beta program. Those who don't like the idea of change give their own valuable perspective to the testing that we need.


 * On the problems you are seeing with the blogs - there have been some updates this week, which aren't connected with the new look at all. This is a separate change, which is why I asked on the blog comments for people to send us details of any problems via Special:Contact


 * And on listening: we are reading every single comment, and listening to all of them. We don't have all the answers yet, and it's impossible to respond to every comment, but we hear them all - I promise you that. -- sannse (help forum | blog) 21:36, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

New badges
New badges on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki without any consolation with the head admin? I'm appalled by this and I'm not sure who actually installed the badges in are wiki. Is this something from the main staff? --Archie 02:29, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Administrator problem
Hello Sannse,

I am Dragonian King, an administrator of the Club Penguin Shops Wiki.

We are having problems with one of our administrators, Zacknjess, however he is a bureaucrat so we aren't able to demote him.

Could you please come to the CPSW and demote him?

Thanks,

 * Hi, I have to ask you to send this in via Special:Contact please. We probably won't demote anyone without agreement from others on the wiki though -- sannse (help forum | blog) 22:00, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia changing
I think it's because of you and the staff changing the features of wikia, but since yesterday I tried to make 4 new Wikias, but all of them failed on certain steps on the 'Get Started' bit. I made Lego Wiki, edited a page but it wouldn't let me save. Thx :)


 * Hi, it sounds like there were problems with the database yesterday... the guys are working on it now, so everything should be back to normal soon. Sorry for the problems! -- sannse (help forum | blog) 22:02, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Category interesting things
When the mile was changed by Queen Elizabeth 1 in 1595 from the old Roman Mile Passus, defined as 5000 pes composed of 8 stadiums of 625 pes, each measuring 185 m, which was itself based on the Greek Mia Chilloi of 4800 pous composed of 8 stafions each 600 pous, each measuring 185 m; to be 8 furlongs of 660 feet or a mile of 5280 feet which was itself based on an earlier Egyptian standard mentioned by Herodotus,.it meant that there would now be twice as many seconds in a century as inches in the circumference of the earth at the equator.69.39.110.136 16:26, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Lostpedia
No one on lostpedia likes this new layout. We are all against it and we have made it very clear to each other that we don't like it, and we don't want it. If you change lostpedia, many people have threatened to leave because it will be terrible. So, I'm asking you if there is some way that you can like, not changed the way lostpedia looks, and perhaps keep it the same? Please, no one on lostpedia likes it, and we don't want to see a good wikia go down the drain because of a stupid layout.

Yeah, you just kinda ignored me there. We hate the new wikia layout. We know we won't like it because, for starters, you're getting rid of the shoutbox, and we at lostpedia all use the shoutbox. So I ask again, is there some way you can not apply the new skin to lostpedia. Julietfan2626 09:51, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

I wanna try it out
Hi Sannse! My wikia, www.Thesa.wikia.com, is still farely new, and I just wonder if there is any chance for me trying out this new layout (I hated it at first, but after stairing at it some time it looks kindoff modern, and I think I can get used to it!) while my wiki is unknown and I got the chance to try and fail at making my new design wich will fit the new wikialayout.... What I am saying is, is there any possibility for me to be an Beta-tester for the new layout? :) Marken4 13:02, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, let's see.
Right, firstly, don't treat me like a child and give me a stupid reply that doesn't even answer what I am saying to you. Okay, let's see, since showing us the new layout, you HAVE to admit that like 98% of people HATE it. And then you comment, 'Oh, yes, but some people have been positive'. Why are you listening to them!!! That is like 2% of the people on wikia. Give me an honest reason why you are just blatantly ignoring the facts and going with the 2% of people. P.S. any admins can answer this. I want to know why you are ignoring the facts. Julietfan2626 13:10, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I'm sorry to bother on your talk page, but I couldn't find the page I needed. The thing is, I need to delete a wiki. It' the bully spanish wiki. I wanted to delete it because I started it, but then I realized I was really busy on another wiki! I'm sorry, I should've thought about that before I started the Wiki. I don't want to abandon it, but if that's what I should do then I will. I'm sorry for bothering, but I just needed some help. Here's the link: The Wiki. Thanks, <font face="Century Gothic">Jenny Vincent ♣ 20:44, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, it's fine to just leave it. It will mean that someone else can adopt it if they want to :)  That's the best solution if you don't want to edit there yourself.  Good luck with your other wiki! -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:26, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Extension Request
Hello. My name is Habatchii and I needed to make an extension request. Wikipedia has an extension called, "Collection" which apparently needs another extension, the "PDF Handler" and maybe one or two others. I would like to have it on all of MY wikis if possible, if not Wikia-Wide. Please help on this matter...

 * Hi, we need to get our technical team to check out all new extensions, so it may take a while... But you are welcome to send the details to us via Special:Contact. Please include a link to the wikimedia pages for the exact extensions you mean.  If they are aproved, we can get them on your wiki -- sannse (help forum | blog) 20:49, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

A couple of matters at nonsensopedia.
Hi

I,ve just sent on special contacy request for calling on of our bureaucrats away (Hani.md) due to inactivity. The case was not solved by TOR, although he was asking for it. We are waiting almost 3 weeks and don't want what to do. Hani.md was his activity was judged by us as unsatisfied (RFC and voting of deprive him his rights). We request for call him away and wait for necessary steps on Wikia Staff side, because the matter has come dragged out.

With best regardds

Steam wikia
Hi,

I found a wikia for steam and it seem like the owner has abbandoned it. So do you know how i could help it, like some stuff i can't seem to touch and the owner hasn't touched it for nearly 1 year. So what im asking is that, is there a chance wikia can make me an admin solely to improve it. Something like this wikia could help people more than the steam forums.

 * Hi, you can apply to adopt a wiki on our adoptions page. Good luck! -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:26, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi, they can be, but they generally don't need to be :) you can just leave them, and then if anyone wants to adopt them in the future they can apply to do that -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:28, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Request

Just thought I'd show you this.
Here's an edit summary a user made on my userpage over at the Borderlands Wikia. [http://borderlands.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:AtlasSoldier&oldid=144342 Here's the revision he made, it was basically reverting my edit that I made. I had removed the nasty messages he left on my page, and he's reverted my edit twice now]. As for the edit summary, this is what he wrote: "Undo revision 144325 by AtlasSoldier (talk) I believe you. I thought maybe you were busy with Mod duties on the Child Molestation Wiki"

I do not at all find this edit summary funny, and I know you won't find it funny either. I don't want any drastic action taken, as he's just being a troll, so maybe a little talking to might be in order. I'll admit right now I haven't exactly been the most courteous Wiki-user, and I have said some things that were out of line to this user, and others, but they have also said some nasty things to me as well. Hence why I have currently decided to take a Wikibreak from the Borderlands Wiki. Thank you for taking the time to read this. AtlasSoldier 21:56, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's best that this sort of dispute is dealt with by the wiki's admins. Although, of course, both keeping it civil on your side and ignoring trolls are always good things to do :) -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:31, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Help
Hello there! I was wondering why I made a page for the Zoey 101 wiki, for couples, it's going to be deleted...? But I don't know why, and I worked very hard on those pages .... Here is the link : PLease help me keep this page :) Thank you for your time! :D -

 * Hi, the deletion template was added by Wiiboy4ever, so it's best to ask him or the wiki's admins about this. Each wiki has it's own rules about what content should be in the wiki, so they will know best about the situation. -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:33, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Studies done
When wikipedia created a new look, in addition to allowing veteran editors to revert to the old style, they had actual studies done.

Has there been any studies done on the new wikia look?

Thank you,

 * Hi. Yes, we've done both user testing and focus groups as part of the work on the new look.  That's been mentioned on the blogs a few times :)  There will be more of that in the future too -- sannse (help forum | blog) 18:59, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Searching for blog comments
Hi. I made a comment at this blog post:
 * User blog:Sannse/Your First Look at the New Wikia

This search finds it.

But clicking the link does not take one to the comment page containing my comment. How does one find past comments and replies in long blog comment threads?

The blog comments are not dated, and so it is next to impossible in a long thread. I tried clicking page after page, and doing calendar calculations, but it is too difficult. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:59, September 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a tricky one... currently you can click the date on contributions or recent changes to go directly to the comment page, but that doesn't show you the comment in context. My preference is for us to add anchoring, so that clicking the comment link takes you to the specific comment within the thread.  I'm talking to the people working on the feature about this possibility (among other tweaks) but I don't know if that idea will be taken up yet -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:02, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
