I need a cloak rename.
Hi Sannse!

I need my Wikia IRC cloak on the Freenode server to be changed, as my account name on the wikia was changed by my request. My wikia cloak was not changed, and is still based on my old account name.

[Warthog@wikia/XxXxGradiusheroxXxX] needs to become [~Warthog@wikia/Rhys Jones]

Can you change this for me please? Thanks

Rhys Jones 15:32, September 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Freenode are likely to want to confirm that with you when I ask, so you'll need to catch me on IRC. I'm usually on there evenings (San Francisco time) but may not be in any public channels. If you set my name on stalk, you should be able to find me. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:28, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Problem with logging in to uncyclopedia
Hello, I have a problem with logging in to uncyclopedia, when I want to long with this user name it says "There is no user by the name "Mjbmr"" and when I want to create account with this username it says "The name "Mjbmr" is too similar to the existing account: Mjbmr Please choose another name", now what do I do? please help me, Thank you. Mjbmr 10:48, September 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Uncyc has a different user server. Any account on wikia is not automatically registered on Uncyc. In addition, they have a filter so that wikia usernames cannot be registered there. If you want to use your wikia user name there, make an account and ask Sannse there if she can rename it to your name here. That is what I did.--
 * Yep, you'll need to confirm both on Uncyclopedia and here that both accounts are you, then I can match them up so you have the Mjbmr name on both :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:38, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I wrote a message here but I'll conform that account here too, Thanks. Mjbmr 10:34, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Here another confirmation, please change my username in "uncyclopedia" from "Mjbmr1" to "Mjbmr", Thank you very much. Mjbmr1 10:39, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, best thing is either to use the contact form (including links to where you are having problems), or ask in the forums. You may need to spend some time learning more of the basics before trying that though :) Wikis often work best if you build up your skills over time. Good luck! -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:38, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppeting
I recall you banning WhiteDave from the Degrassi Wikia Chat. Well, he sockpuppeted his whole ban using this account. And two days after you banned him, a chat mod(his best friend) unbanned him from chat instead of banning his sockpuppet account. Basically, his friend unbanned him from chat after you banned him. I think it is unruly and it is a matter that needs attention.

Earth revolves around me. 00:34, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

 * Maybe you should block the sockpuppet account accross the site of course. I think 7 days will be for a sockpuppet.--Terrific joker 00:34, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Accurate status stuff
Hi Sannse, just a (hopefully small) request. Although on Malling Online wiki I'm shown as 'Founder', on Sustainable Community Action, which I founded, and is my main wiki of interest, I'm shown only as 'Admin'. Could this be changed to 'Founder' please? (Wondered whether to send this request to Meighan, but was confused by the focus on 'new founders'. What about us more semi-ancient ones?) Philralph 10:18, September 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Philralph, good to see you :) The problem is just that your wiki (if not you) is more than just semi-ancient! Wiki number 10 according to our database. Ones that old never had the founder information, they were made manually by our techy guy (and it was just one guy back then). I'll ask someone to get you added in the right place, and the badge should show up soon -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:50, September 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Sannse, thanks for this, Cheers, Philralph 08:39, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, we a have similar (but not really as pressing) issue on wiki 24 - 24 Administration and Proudhug both applied to set up the wiki at the same time, and Angela set them both as founders (presumably manually). Since then 24 Administration became inactive and his bureaucrat and admin rights were removed. I'm not sure if his founder tag is missing because of the manual set-up or removal of rights. Do de-sysopped founders automatically get their founder tag removed? As I say not an urgent issue as he's inactive but I think it'd be interesting for people looking at site history to see the founder tag.--Acer4666 11:28, September 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Acer, sorry for the delay. I think the problem is that our current system will only recognise one founder at a time. Your wiki is an unusual one of course, but I don't think there's any way around it any more. I'll check, to be sure though -- `sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:18, October 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah cool, no problem, proudhug must have "got in there first" so to speak. I've since had a test out of curiosity and it seems de-sysopped founders keep their founder tag, so there's no way to differentiate between ones with admin/crat rights and those without.-- Category:Acer4666 13:37, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Sulfur and Lone Black Garuga
Excuse me Sannse. Hi, this is Ash9876, and I would like to complain about the User, Sulfur from the Vandalism team. He has blocked a user named Lone Black Garuga on Bleach Fanon for incorrect reasons and/or a misunderstanding. Would you mind unblocking her or asking Sulfur to do so? Thank you very much.Student Ash (Let's learn together!) 23:56, September 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tell Lone Black Garuga to give the block id for their block. That way VSTF or staff can tell if it is just Lone Black Garuga accessing a blocked ip or if they were actually blocked. Seeing as it is not a local block, it is likely the former rather than the latter.--

Help with something
Hi, just wondering who you think I should go to over this matter. Recentely, a wiki was formed by people who were banned from the Vault. The created the The Enclave Wiki which is a site devoted to the Enclave and is mostly fanon with some pages made about in-game elements. Recentely, the site was trolled and pages were vandalised etc. After that, one troll kept coming back and prompted one of the admins, Roxashasnoheart to create a rules page. The problem I found with it is that the rules were aggresive towards users that would read them. I was also shocked to see that he had wrote a racist comment on the page by saying that all Brits and Aussies have bad blood. I personally took offense to this and talked to them about in the chat. I was shocked that both Roxas and the wiki founder, Enclaveoverlord both agreed that it was true. And judging from the comments made from the Encalevoverlord, Roxas and Husky have made and their attitude towards other users. I think it would be in the best interests of the wiki that they are removed from adminship. And for me to take their place so I can actually make this a wiki that is worth the time I've put into it. I came to you first because I wasn't sure if this was to go in the Adoption Request thread.

Just in case, their user pages are : Enclaveoverlord, Husky2413, Roxashasnoheart

Also, I'd like you to see what Roxas did to the trolls page here Cammax, he might have been a troll but that behaviour is atrocious, espcially since he is an admin.

 * I suspect that things may have moved on from this point, as I didn't get back here quickly. But if not, please use the contact form. But you should note that we rarely interfere with admins, and I can't think of any time when we would deadmin those on one side of a dispute in order to admin the other. It just isn't going to happen. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:26, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Locking Profiles
Hi Sannse. I want to know if we can lock our profile pages and how to do it. Thanks!

Pinklilac 13:07, September 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Admins can lock profile pages, by clicking the arrow next to "edit" and choosing "protect", but then you need to be an admin to edit it (it's locked even for the person whose page it is). There isn't a way around that at the moment. Sorry -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:30, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Help with site protection
On the Tengaged Wiki, every three or four weeks, there is a wave of vandalism. I have protected as many pages as I could but I'd like another method. I wondered if there's a way of mass protection. I heard something about the Help Wikia, or somebody, being able to place a temporary protection upon the wikia. Is this something that you could help with? Or if there's a way of giving all pages the same protection method, then that'd be helpful too. Whatever you can suggest, I'm gonna be grateful. :-) The Farty  Doctor   talk  20:11, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's possible to protect a wiki for a while using an extension called "Protect Site", you can get that by ading via the contact form. Or you can request that the wiki be set to be edited by logged in people only - if there is a strong reason for that. But overall, a wiki that no one can edit isn't a wiki any more. So I'd very much recomend not protecting pages that way. It's better to have an active admin group, who can check in and stop any problems quickly with blocks (or a short Protect Site block). Otherwise, you are just going to be a static site that won't grow well! Vandalism is always a problem, but an un-editable wiki is a bigger one :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:34, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Unban Me from Chat?
Hi, I've been banned from the Community Chat for some hours now, may I please be unbanned? You could have just told me to leave instead of banning me. Are you not aware that Jaasi was being rude to me also, making fun of my comments by adding a sarcastic twist to it? Honestly, I was being pretty nice and I was just trying to find out why my fellow Degrassi Wiki members were banned unfairly from the chat. And when you told me to cease, which I did, I asked Mta(?) why saying "hai" would have to result in a ban from Godisme. I don't get what I did wrong to get banned. EliGObsessed ツ I will be rising from the ground, like a Skyscraper.


 * I did not ban you, that was Sannse. I will Unban you for now as Sannse's message was "Eli, I am banning you until I am done with this meeting." --

How to get a family tree and other templates?
Hi there! I have noticed there are many templates missing from the Demonata Wiki and was wondering how to get them. There is no admin on this wiki either, so I had to turn to you. Thanks!

Pinklilac 12:43, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. The Family Tree one is urgent!

:Hi, most templates aren't standard, people create them on each wiki. You can often copy them from other wikis, but you should be aware that they often use CSS and other code that has to be copied alongside the templates themselves. Templates from wikis off-Wikia (including Wikipedia) may not work here at all, because the set-up and other details of those wikis may not be the same. The best place to get more detailed help is on the forum. Good luck -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:46, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Help
Hello, I'm Kendzo. I have been helping clubpenguin wiki by adding pictures and helping with providing information. Since it was replaced by a new clubpenguin wikia I have decided to stop helping the new clubpenguin wikia because of how complicated it was, I have great ideas and I love throwing my knowledge to the world but I think that my know-how of using wikia is keeping me from doing as much as I would like to do. I have searched around but I have not managed to grab on something that will teach me how to handle 'Pages' in general e.g How to make information boxes and placing pictures and stuff like that. Basicaly I am asking if you know somewhere or something that will help/teach me how to work with 'Pages'. Kendzo.JR 20:08, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

CVs and other
Hey Sannse. First of all, I'd like to apologize for causing a bit of an argument on your user page. It wasn't my intention to do so, I simply wanted for you to have a full view of the situation and prevent Luckmann from trying to manipulate you.

Second, I'd like to ask for advice. I've recently posted a blog about converting Wikia-related experience into CV entries (aimed primarily at Wikia administrators and bureaucrats). JoePlay complimented it. I think giving it a little bit more exposure could be beneficial to Wikia volunteer staff. Then again I'm not 100% confident about that, so I opted to contact a more experienced person, namely you. What's your opinion? http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 07:35, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's a really good post, with good, sensible advice that I think could be very useful for a lot of people on Wikia. Impressive stuff! I'll certainly share it with other staff, and think you should share it in any way you can :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:52, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

IMPORTANT! Hi Sannse, Nonciclopedia needs you
I have sent this message also to Avatar.

Hi Sannse, there's a problem on Nonciclopedia. Yesterday we sent to staff this mail:

Dear Wikia staff, as you may already know, Vasco Rossi, an italian singer, sued Nonciclopedia for defamation. To protest against what we believe is an abuse of the legal system, especially because the sysops are the most endangered people at the moment, sunday evening (European time) we'll close the site for a few days (but we'll say to the users for an undetermined period of time), hide every content except a page in which we explain to the public what's going on, hoping that this extreme measure will change something in our situation. For a security reason, sysops, staff and helpers will still have access to the pages, but you'll notice a flicker if the page loads fast and will have to wait a lot for the content to appear if it doesn't.

Best regards, Nonciclopedia's staff

But today morning an Helper, Cizagna, revert all our edit and revoked my admin status (and the MFH admin status) because of the editwar and because he/she can't understand the reason of our protest. For more info read here. There are many informations about the issue.

Please, we need your help as soon as possible, also because all the Italian newspaper are talking about this!

And please let us strike for a few days, it's an important thing. --Zaza 14:05, October 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you, our guardian angel! :P --Zaza19:53, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. It's an unusual situation, so glad we could get it sorted. The technical problems with the code are fixed now, and we've agreed to allow the redirects.... so all should be good.

WHAT THE HECK
I have been begging wikia for help on my John Carter wiki for months, I got alot of help. . . I got a spotlight. . . . I even had Johncarter.wikia.com redirect to my wiki. . . I ahve been preparing the wiki for months MONTHS AND MONThS at least a year I think. . . .so what do I find today. . . I find this http://johncarter.wikia.com/wiki/John_Carter_Wiki. . . .my redirect no longer takes me to my wiki. . . . it takes me to a wiki on the exact same subject. . . just instead. . . .a different wiki. . . WHY DOES THIS EXSIST, there was no issues with barsoom.wikia.com. .. . I HAVE THE POSTER OF THE MOVIE ON THE FRONT PAGE WITH A COUNTDOWN TIMER, why the heck would oyu guys do this too me? ralok 03:34, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Shut up, Ihave been preparing barsoom.wikia.com for the purpose of being the go to place, I wanted the staffs help I repeatedly asked. I even had johncarter.wikia.com REDIRECT TO BARSOOM.WIKIA.COM you dont tell me not to be angry. I would have gladly accepted WIKIAS HELP I WAS BEGGING FOR IT.

 * Now I could argue the philosophy of your statement. But here is teh simple definitive fact, I am angry. Now if they want me to not be angry . . . so we can get somewhere . . . the staff can acknowledge what has happened, maybe even awknowledge it was a mistake . . . or maybe just explain why this happened. Because I am a hundred percent sure that Johncarter.wikia.com used to redirect to a wiki that I maintain . . . they didnt ask me if they could have it. I dont want to argue . . . I just want to know why they felt the need to crate a new wiki on a subject, when I had a 400 page wiki built specifically for the purpose they have . . . written and ready to READY TO FLY and tell all the world about John Carter of mars. I had even worked out systems for handling different adaptions of John Carter of Mars to avoid confusion .. . . there is just . . . no reason for this wiki to exsist other than apearently making me angry . . . I dont want to be angry, in fact Iwant . . . .and I say this with honesty I want wikia to take the wheel for a while . .. help me out, help attract new people to the community. They have alot of good information on their wiki that I dont have yet, and I so desperately want it . . . but I cannot steal from another wiki ralok 04:47, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Question about blocks
I was blocked by CamileA05 on the degrassi wikia. So i asked her why she blocked me and her reply was "Everyone in the chat was requesting me to do so.I was just doing my job. ♥CamilleA05 04:39, October 9, 2011 (UTC)" She blocked me for a year simply because she was asked by other people to do so. Is this a reasonable reason to block someone, because i've never heard of this before. Satans Little Helper 04:53, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was blocked from the wikia main chat because someone else hurt my feelings, so I am pretty sure people can block you for whatever reason. But honestly, I would block you on any of my wikis because your name is profane! You may not consider it so, but the fact is you are making light of a subject many people take seriously adn have a genuine fear too. You might aswell name yourself Holocaust Jim. ralok 11:37, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL, No their is no proof wheather satan existed or not, my name isn't even satans little helper, it's closer 2my dreams. People can take anything seriously, i can take your comment seriously and ask for you to banned for harassment.

you. . . are making light of something people take seriously. If you dont want to be judged then dont do something that will cause people to judge you negatively. I think you fail to understand how people are judged. WE are Judged by our actions, in particular how we treat other human beings. And you are associating yourself with somethign that has a negative stigma attached, that is an action. . . dont expect to not be judged from it. ralok 05:23, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Closer, you have had many warnings, many previous bans, and have continued to cause problems on the wiki and on chat. I warned you on Friday that you were very close to a long-term ban, and comments like this after that warning show that nothing had changed. Please move on from the wiki.

Quick question.
On some of the wikis I manage, my talk pages are quite jam-packed and I've been meaning to archive them. But, how do you create talk page archives? Do you just make a new page and title it User talk:[Your username]\Archive 1, or are they automated? Thank you! --TWISH 16:52, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, the usual way is just to create the page and copy stuff there. With the new talk pages we are working on, they will automatically "archive" by pagination - but that's not available except on some test wikis so far.

 * Hi, we can change a wiki to that on request. Just contact us with a list of wikis and the language you want. We reduced the default list a while ago, because it was very long, but can still set your wikis to the language type you want -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:26, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal?
We really need to have this kid by the name of Thomas Hozempa blocked. He keeps vandalizing Nickelodeon wikis, took over the Crazymutt Wiki to troll its original owner (I assume), and he makes these pointless Wikias that are incredibly vulgar (nothing way too inappropriate, though). One of them (its ID was adventuretime3) was closed a while back. I've sent 3 reports to Wikia staff.

GojiBob would know a bit about him too, ask him about Thomas if you can. The WonderKat (Talk) 00:14, October 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, Thomas also made a innappropriate blog on my wiki. -- TheBen10Mazter ( T - B -C) 00:25, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Copyright Images
Hi Sannse, sorry to bother you but I have a bit of a big question to ask you. I need some help with copyrighted images and non-copyrighted images.

At the Mobile Phones Wiki I'm trying to use images from the WikiMedia Commons Wiki when ever I can. My first question is, how do you attribute and license an image from WikiMedia Commons correctly (i.e legally)? (an example of what I've done for one image from the WikiMedia Commons can be seen )

Secondly, how do you attribute and license a copyrighted image? Say an image of the Samsung Galaxy Ace from the Carphone Warehouse website etc... Also would using this kind of image be legal?

I'm really sorry if I'm asking too big of a question, I'm just really worried about breaking the law and possibly recieving law suits and prosecutions for copyright infringement when I didn't intend too. Thanks in advance. :)

Kind regards.

19:00, October 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, what you've done for the Commons image is just fine :) Looks like you have all the details in there.


 * I can't give legal advice of course, but for other images, you are mostly relying on "fair use". This means you can use some images (which may include promotional images) for educational purposes. Fair use is complicated, but it's made simpler in many cases because a phone manufacturer is likely to be pleased rather than upset that you are using one of their promotional images and writing about their product.


 * If they are unhappy about a specific image, what will happen is that they will send us a DMCA notice, and we'll remove the image. That most commonly happens with stock images, artist's drawings, and leaked images (for example, pre-release stuff that hasn't been officially sanctioned).


 * So my advice would be not to worry too much :) just keep using Commons images as much as possible, and be prepared to take down any others that someone is unhappy about. Hope that helps -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:01, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Chat invasions (yeah, again)
This time from the One Piece Wiki.

Quick facts - about 10 users from that wiki came to troll the My Little Pony wiki's chat, usernames are as follows:


 * Monkey_D._Madness
 * Monkey.D.Me
 * Pandawarrior
 * Imhungry4444
 * The Humanoid Typhoon
 * WillofOP
 * Ricizubi
 * Swimswimfruit
 * X-RAPTOR (Under the not-so-subtle alias "Z-RAPTOR")
 * Marcus_Junior

As far as I am aware, and as far as my common sense tells me, there was absolutely no provocation from the MLP wiki for this.

Screencaps:


 * Monkey.D.Me encouraging others to troll, taken from their chat
 * Monkey.D.Me encouraging others to troll the CoD wiki
 * Monkey.D.Me turned out to be a racist
 * Marcus Junior posting pornographic images
 * The Humanoid Typhoon purposely disobeying the no-cussing guideline of the chat
 * The Humanoid Typhoon explicitly stating that they were attempting an invasion
 * Larger view of their plans to attack the CoD wiki

Please can you do something about this - considering that one of them even tried to invade more than one other wiki, I think maybe some sort of global block could be in order here? I'm sorry if I'm asking too much but I'm sure you agree with me that this sort of behaviour is totally unacceptable.

If you would like any further details please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you. --Callofduty4 21:42, October 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've left a message with one of their admins, pointing out that this sort of thing is very bad for the wiki's reputation. Hopefully he will have a word with the community.


 * Generally, we're in a difficult place at the moment, screenshots provide very little context, and we don't have logs yet. That makes it tricky for us to fully see and react to what's happening (unless we happen to be in the channel at the right time!). Hopefully that will improve in future versions of chat, and it will be easier to see what happened, and to give out bans as needed -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:22, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * As an editor of the One Piece Wiki, I have to say, in our defense, we're not always like this. In fact, we're never like this. One of them (not saying his name) have said that they wanted to troll other Wikis, but I never thought he'd go this far. I must ask not to remove our chat, as our chat moderators were not there at the time so they had no control of this. I believe a couple of the users Callofduty4 listed had no part in this vandal, but were just there. I was one of the people that were just there, but I told him (Callofduty4) that I had no part in trolling their chat, and not all of use are like that.
 * I'm just saying: Please don't remove our chat function or anything. The chat moderators and admins are quite angry with this as well. Let's hope this will never happen again.
 * Thank you. :) Uknownada 02:48, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am one of the members that invaded the chat that day,and i have realised it was a mistake.We,for no apparent reasons,wanted to trol this wiki,and it didnt turn out that great.I really dont know what the punishment(if there will be one is) will be,but i have two things to say.First, callofduty4 placed many names in the list,even though they certainly didnt go to the CoD chat,but were only happening to be one the OP wiki chat at the time.Some of them are Ricizubi and Pandawarior.That leaves us with 8 mebers that invaded the other chat.Now for my second request,i ask you not to remove the chat function,because it wouldnt be so nice to punish more than 30 persons for the sake of 8 persons that trolled once,and have regreted it
 * That is all i have to say,and i hope i have chaabged your mind even a bit
 * Sorry for the trolls CoC wiki-Swimswimfruit 8:53,2011 (UTC)


 * In My defense i have to say this i was not the one who posted phonographic pictures, nor did I did somethign to bad, i actually tried to civilaze with them as i tried to talk with an overly polite manner to make them gigle, but in the end i had to do my mission of troll them but i warned and they had a chice cause i posted an youtube link, the youtbe link contained a game of some sorts that created a flash model of the queen of the MLP franchise Lady Equestria. But before i ever posted the link i explicitily told them that i was gonna post an ofensive link, so they had a choice not to look, and i even asked them to ban me cause i understood what i was doing was wrong, everyone in that chat is withness of this, and call of suty must have confound me with someone else. But I'm not saying i arent guilty i acept any sort of punishment i may have to embrace.

Hi, another person from the One Piece wikia here. First off, I'd like to apologize to everyone offended and annoyed by the immature behaviour some of our wikia members have shown. Nevertheless, the people involved did cross the line and they should be punished according to further investigation. I don't if this is possible but I'd like them to personally be blocked from other wikia's except the One Piece Wikia, the Ship of Fools wikia, the Ryu's Daily wikia and the One Piece War, as these would wikia are under the One Piece wikia's jurisdiction so to say and should be left open for every One Piece fanatic, even the trollers active on the chats of My Little Pony and Call of Duty. Sincerely, Yountoryuu (PS: I'm not one of the chat-invaders). (PPS: These trollers are definitely being told off on the wikia).


 * Hey all. I'm not removing chat... that was an example of what might need to be done if a situation like this gets out of hand, but I see this was a single incident and that everyone involved is clear that it's bad for the wiki's reputation and shouldn't happen again :)
 * Thanks to everyone for replying, and thanks to the One Piece admins and chat mods for letting everyone know that cross-wiki trolling isn't something that they condone. Let's call this one closed now -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  16:25, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Some Issues
Hi Sannse. I'd like to report some issues that have been going on in central chat. It's quite sickening and one of the admins here in central allows it and encourages it. I have an image if you'd like to see. I prefer sending it over email if you don't mind. Please let me know what can be done.


 * Tech, let's be honest here, you are not in any way innocent. You go to each wiki Jazzi goes to and you bad mouth her. You bad mouth her on wikis she doesn't even go to. You say she goes to wikis and takes control. You have never once owned up to the fact that your behavior is unacceptable. This all started because of your demotion and subsequent block on Pokemon Wiki. You were demoted for misuse of your power. Rather than asking what you did wrong, you immediately went and tried to get Jazzi demoted too. Crimson then blocked you, yes, Crimson, not Jazzi. I was in chat during the time in which Crimson decided it would be best to block you, it was his decision. Jazzi did not say a word. You now continue to follow Jazzi around to different wikis just to tell everyone how much you hate her. Most recently you badmouthed her on Mario Wiki to one of the other admins there. These actions are not acceptable. I told you to back off, you have not. Say what you will about Jazzi, but she has been the one to remain civil during this. Yes, she says bad things about you sometimes but only amongst friends who already know her opinion of you. She does not go to your wikis and say how much she hates you. Once again, I ask that you back down, go to your wiki and forget that Jazzi exists.--


 * I don't go to every wiki and bad mouth her, I just explained to Mario Wiki that she likes to uniform wikis and she doesn't have a good behavior. Now if you have an issue with me, don't start problems on this talk page, figure out somewhere else to tell me something.


 * All that needs to be said. In addition to this, there's also this. –  Jä zz  i  21:11, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Sannse, contact me on another wiki or via email if needed so we aren't rudely interrupted by anymore people. There's obviously no way of having a civil discussion here, so I think email would be the best.


 * No, you know what Tech. This is being solved once and for all. And this will be solved here. The only one being rude is you, you've been rude since the start of this. I've tried calmly confronting you, but you always turn it into this uncivil war. I'm sick of it. So either realize that what you're doing is wrong and decide to be more mature about this, or you can continue being an immature child. Because quite frankly, I've had it with this after I opposed your demotion request because I just wanted all the damn bickering to end. It clearly hasn't. So grow up. You were banned and desysoped for a reason. Now stop acting like a child. –  Jä zz  i  21:21, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Read above for a perfect example of being rudely interrupted Sannse.


 * Despite what you may think, talk pages can be responded to by anyone. Imagine going into an open room and talking about someone else in that room. They have a right to voice their opinion over the matter. If you wanted this to stay out of the public eye, you should have sent your issues to Special:Contact and waited for a reply. Rappy 21:36, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rappy - Thanks, I already sent an email. I could honestly type how all of most if this false information, but it would so much, I'd rather save it for an email.


 * You should have just left it at that then. Rappy 21:42, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Allow me to say my side of the story. Jazzi is correct, we had no part in his blockage, Crimsonnavy blocked him, and he is now going to random wikis, specifically the Sonic Wiki, and Mario Wiki, and badmouthing us for no reason. This cross-wiki stalking has to end. He has also left me insulting messages on Pokemon Wiki and Imagination X Wiki. Sannse, we need this to end, and now. -- <font style = "background:red"> B u l  l  ε  t   <font style = "background:blue"> (No vandals)  <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; padding:4px; cursor:help; "color:#00FFFF" title="?"> ( Don't be A <span style="color:#1BC937;" title="If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.">Jerk ) 21:37, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Three edit-conflicts later....

OK, that's enough for now please. I'm aware of the situation, and will look at the latest as soon as possible.

Update: I have emailed Technology Wizard and asked him again to keep away from Jazzi, Bullet Francisco, and anyone else involved in this dispute. That includes writing about them (the trigger for this latest flare it seems)

Bullet Francisco, I also ask you not to react to Technology Wizard - I see that you got involved when he wrote about Jazzi and that was part of where this got heated.

Jazzi, it looks like you kept out of this until it hit Central, thank you. Please keep doing that, and let me know of any further problems.

Hello
Hello Miss/Mrs. Sannse! I created a Wiki, http://potcoplayerseitcroyalty.wikia.com I tried to add some of my user righs I did not have, but accidently removed them. Can you add them back? Of a total, I need Bur, Admin, Chat Mod, and Rollback. There was a vandal, this Matthew Ironvane guy who does not like me on other Wiki's. He erased the home page and spammed it saying I am a failure. I re-made it and protected it. I would appreciate if you would please tell him to stop. I blocked the user for 3 months, because he broke a Rule stating not to edit the homepage. I will lower it to a 1 month because i believe 3 is too much. I would appreciate if you would fulfill these minor requests. I tried asking DaNASCAT, but I believe he is on a temporary inactivity. I thank you for your time, and have a wonderful evening!!!

Sockpuppetry
Hi Sannse. I noticed your message on Kaz's talk page. I was wondering if I could join the conversation regarding the sockpuppets on our wiki. After all, I requested a lot of check users. Let me know, thanks.

(replied elsewhere)

Hi.
You have not been at the Degrassi Wikia for a while and some things have happened lately. Do you remember Closer 2my Dreams? He was banned for a year. Well he broke his ban and created a new account call 'Gary Turner'. And now he is back on the wikia still doing the same old, same old. He called one user a name and another user gay. (I have screenshots) My problem is, if we cannot keep him banned, we could at least keep him from chat, where most users socialize. Everytime he gets on chat, we ban him! Is that a good solution? I am not the only one who wants him gone. A LOT of users want him gone because he terrorizes them. Also, I have been following your advice (: Everytime he tries to start drama with me, I always say,"I am not reacting to you!" Thanks for the tip (:

So what do you think? If we can't block his IPs, can we at least keep him from chat? Reply ASAP please!

Drayden Montana come follow me 04:20, October 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * A staff set rangeblock would probably work best in this case. Requests like these need to go through Special:Contact though. Also, in the meantime, instead of saying "I am not reacting to you", simply do not react. Don't say anything and pretend he is not there. He will get bored then and move on. Saying you are not reacting to him is still reacting.--

Block
Hi, I've been editing on Wookieepedia since April. I'm an expert at HTML and MediaWiki so I was fixing up some problems there. However I have also been editing at the Star Wars Battlefront Wiki. Wookieepedia has been permenantly annoying the smaller Star Wars Wikis, claiming ownership over Star Wars on Wikia. Recently several of the users on the Battlefront Wiki compiled a letter explaining why they would like to become independent from Wookieepedia. Now I have found that I have been blocked by User:Darth Culator for 'Personal Attacks' and 'Disruption'. This is very unfair for somebody who is making an effort to help out at the Wiki. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help. Thanks, Sam2011(Talk) 09:30, October 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Sam. I'm afraid I can't help with the block, admins on individual wikis can block for any reason they and their community feel appropriate. It's very rare for staff to intervene, even if we don't agree with blocks.

 * This is just one administrator who has blocked me, not allowing me to contest the block, asked any other sysops and not even warning me first. Sam2011 (Talk) 16:32, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wookieepedia administrators do not need to consult other administrators before blocking users. And you are in fact contesting your block on his talk page at this very moment. You really don't need a warning for editing someone else's comments&mdash;that's common sense. 1358  <sup style="color:#336600;">(Talk)  16:37, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Costs / opportunities involved in a wiki going totally advert free
Hi Sannse, I think you might have sent me a message about this in the past. I'm interested in investigating any opportunities that might help the Sustainable Community Action wiki become totally advert free, however long that might take, so that we can begin to approach a position where we can have sufficient influence over how hosting is funded, for ethical reasons. Sca has always been, and is a wiki (and community) that aims to be of civic (rather than only social) value. This isn't about specifics, or reopening any old (and perhaps tired) discussion, it's really just about ethics. Because of what sca is about, without something like that, attracting new contributors to the wiki can often feel like trying to run with a concrete block tied to your leg. Maybe it can be done, and I aim to keep trying, but I can't help but feel that it's the ethical inconsistencies bewteen what sca aims to be about and the actuality of having no effective influence over how the hosting is funded that's the decisive factor in putting off potential joiners.

Is there a page showing what costs might be involved if a wiki wanted to investigate going totally advert free? I recently saw some information about a partnership that involves ethical energy suppliers (in the UK) rewarding communities who('s "members" then) sign up to them via a community website. Can you see any way that something like this might be used to contribute to hosting costs, or is it one of those catch 22 situations where a wiki would only be able to benefit from something like this if it were already paying to be totally advert free (the only current reason for sca to investigate funding is to become totally advert free or find some other way to crack the ethics thing). Hope I've explained the challenge I feel we face clearly enough, even if it doesn't yet seem to have an answer, but many thanks in advance for any advice you might be able to give. Cheers, Philralph 17:01, October 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Philralph, the page you are looking for is at Ad free wikis. Sustainable Community Action wiki is elligable, so you are welcome to sign up. I don't know anything about getting funding from elsewhere to help with the costs though, maybe it's worth contacting some organizations to ask? If you have other questions, the quickest way to find me is via the contact form. If you put my name in the mail, it will be given to me :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:50, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Voting for new +F on Forum:New IRC channel
'lo Sannse. I am not being allowed to vote in the +F decision for the new wikia channel - I'd like to protest this. This is a new channel, and so I don't understand why this vote is being controlled by the ops of the previous channel. I see no good reason why I shouldn't be allowed to vote, especially since the admin who removed my vote has a conflict of interest (I opposed him, and his action reinforced why I voted that way).

I thought that you had made it pretty clear that this channel is unofficial, and not under control of #wikia ops. Maybe I was mistaken in thinking this. Regards, 04:13, October 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Similar to Ajr, it bemuses me somewhat that the discussion is using the deeply subjective term "#wikia regular" to disallow community members from voting. I don't really agree with using this limiting definition, given that many of us lurk or simply don't talk on #wikia all that much because of previous less-than-satisfying experiences. I want to avoid using the word "cabal", but on days like this, I find it hard. For now, I'll just say it is a golden opportunity to turn over a new leaf on how Wikia contributors treat each other being wasted. I appreciate that you probably will not want to intervene in this case, however. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:33, October 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Except Avatar, if Wikia Staff act upon the results, they will have “certified” the vote. As you say, it is absurd that votes are being removed, that people are being blocked from voting because they do not fit an arbitrary definition of “regular”, and that the vote is being run by a group seemingly focussed on perpetuating itself, and limiting membership in the OPs corp of the new channel. I am concerned that such focus sidelines the idea of global representation among the OPs corps so that someone is around to deal with issues at all times in a 24-hour period. Moreover, this approach has a chilling effect and drives people way from participating in the ##wikia process fearing that their votes will be deleted because they do not satisfy some nebulous definition of “regulars”. — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  04:42, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hey Sannse, I am interested, do you mind if you let Sarah know about me? I've been wanting to take a look at that wiki for a couple months now. Thanks. -- TheBen10Mazter ( T - B -C) 02:20, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Requesting an IP Check
There's a bit of suspicion on our wiki about a user to may or may not have a sockpuppet floating around. This user is blocked, and their supposed sockpuppet is not. We require an IP check to see if this user really is a sockpuppet of the blocked user.

http://totaldramaisland.wikia.com/wiki/User:Icekid1994 -- The blocked user.

http://totaldramaisland.wikia.com/wiki/User:Offcampusstudent1993 -- The supposed sockpuppet.

Could you do an IP check to see if these two users' IPs match? Thank you, and leave the results on my talkpage.  TDA15  talks and  edits 04:55, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think this goes to Special:Contact. -- TheBen10Mazter  ( T - B -C) 19:17, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * B10M is correct. You need to to use w:c:totaldramaisland:Special:Contact and request a CheckUser for those two accounts. Good luck! — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  23:43, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Can you revert a deletion?
Can you revert a deletion by a user who appears to be a member here for no other reason than to delete or move other peoples recipes according to her own personal taste rather than the value of the recipes to others? Since I am not paid to post recipes here the benefit I derive for doing so is the ability to point students and others here when a recipe provides a solution for a particular need. I can post on my own site and refer my students there but that would prevent others here from knowing about recipes created specifically by computer to be healthy. Please let me know if you can revert the deletion of a recipe I make referrals to all of the time because it demonstrates for my students the need to handle extremes in addition to the middle. Thanks. --imho 07:06, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
