I didn't? Strange, I thought Wikia had system-wide preferences... ah well, it's done. Shaur M. S. Grizlin 09:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Illogicopedia
I know you're highly trained in fighting vandalism etc, but can you not revert the edits of the i.p. 194.80.20.10 It's just that that particular i.p. happens to be three prominent members' (me included) school i.p. Revert edits by it on other wikis but please refrain from stopping it's edit on [illogicopedia.org|illogicopedia]. --User:testostereich/sig 18:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thirteen Knot Quipu
This is a misspelling of Thirteen Knot Quipus and someone decided to change all of the pages containing Thirteen Knot Quipus to the misspelled one...please do not restore incorrect page names and items. --76.84.25.34 07:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I assume you are referring to this edit. It's never a good idea to blank articles, especially without explanation. Doing so sets off alarm bells. If a duplicate page has been created, you can always redirect the page there ( #REDIRECT Page ).


 * Also, just in case you were unaware, Wikia utilises a shared user database, so you can log in with your FFXI Wiki username here. -- Manticore   (talk)  08:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey man
Well hi. It's me User:George Skywalker. The admin of TESfanon. Recently I was visited by an outsider named Dagoth Ur, Mad God or something like that. This user wanted to become an admin while I knew nothing about him. For more info about the incident see my talk page. Inform me if you find anything useful. George Skywalker 19:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this user either. Judge each request like this with common sense. Does this person need adminship? Have they got a history of positive contributions to the wiki? Does the community (or you) trust them to be an admin? If not, politely indicate that there are many tasks they can help with that don't require adminship. -- Manticore   (talk)  06:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the pages for deletion
I made some mistakes here. I thought it was like Wikipedia and I created some articles. I now understand that those articles should go into a Wiki, like SNES and Battletoads articles. Feel free to delete it. Or wait till I move them to a related wiki, like wiki games. I am no spammer, just a new stupid user. :-0 Davichito 21:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * No worries! Lots of people make that mistake, which is why we allow them one week to move their content to an appropriate wiki. -- Manticore   (talk)  04:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

IP Check
Hi, I would like to ask you if you could help me with an IP check. If so, please see User talk:CatherineMunro's talkpage. Thanks! 16:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately janitors don't have access to CheckUser, only Wikia Staff do. Catherine will be able to help you out, just be patient. :) -- Manticore   (talk)  10:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, thank you for informing me. 10:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

What's your problem?
Why is a wikia staffmember vandalising a wiki? I mean, don't you have anything better to do with your spare time? By the way, yes, this is a warning. Do it again and I'll see what I can do against you. Sgt pepper 14:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * PS, I'm know as Il Palazzo on the Oncyclopedia, the wiki you've vandalised Sgt pepper 14:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

for your information:

Hello Angela, i would like to call your attention to the latest disruptive actions of one of your janitors. Would you be so so kind as to ask him to stop his destructive behaviour. I think this proves that he is the one that is sabotaging and provoking, not me. His actions are the only reason i abandoned two wikis i founded myself and which made me really hate Wikia because you let a guy like him go unchecked and even make him semi-staff. I would like to ask you to tell this guy to let off. I don't know him. He has been harassing me ever since het picked that fight on http://paradox.wikia.com.

Tell him to stay away from me. This is an official complaint. if this is not the right way to complain, i will do it by Email. 14:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Perhaps it would have been best to confirm with me if this was actually my account? That wiki is not hosted by Wikia, nor is it listed on my interwiki matrix. Imposters are nothing new children; I have had them before at Wikimedia and other wikis. You can safely assume any vandal accounts do not belong to me. -- Manticore   (talk)  15:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I know better then to just trust anyone even if they're form Wikia... thew thing is I coulnd't find your IP to match the vandalist's with. Sorry for the inconvience 15:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I have checked te IP. i will tell you. You have been after me for too long now for no reason. Now it has been enough. You will stop your actions. 15:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Another thing is that the person was using a open proxy server so i will never be an 100% sure who it was 15:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Second Life Wikia vandalism
Hello, I'm Smiley Barry from Second Life Wikia. I am a usual contributor, and "janitor" of Second Life Wikia. (I check the Recent Changes often and my grid's [Teen Grid] pages for tidiness and change/revert where and when necessary) However, an anonymous user, which goes by the IP address 68.88.76.81, constantly vandalizes Second Life Wikia in various pages. (E.g.: Cheesepuff Barnard) I ask you to block this person, before he attempts further vandalism. He seems to track my reverts often, so every revert I do, he reverts back. Smiley Barry 22:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Blocked and vandalism cleaned up. Thanks for the heads up. -- Manticore   (talk)  02:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

hebrew uncyclopadia
I'm sysop there. i ask if you can give us 4th option to defence pages (now there are 3 options: totaly not protacte' open only to writen users and open only to sysops). we want another option- open only to users with rollback righs or sysops. could it tacnically append? tanks, 19:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Technically this is very much possible, just add 'rollback' to $wgRestrictionLevels. Another question would be if Wikia is willing to make this change. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * This should be enabled now. Please let me know if you are having any problems with it. -- Manticore   (talk)  14:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * this is working very well. thanks. 23:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * and in this apotoinity' can you add 5th option to protect: "open only to user who have 100 contributes in the main range and writen in the site 30 days (there are pages witch are vote pages and only those users have the right to vote). thanks. 00:03, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how feasible this is, as it would require another right to be created, or alternatively, have autoconfirmed set to 100 edits and 30 days activity. Is there really a need for this? I manually police voting pages at Halopedia, as do most of the community there. -- Manticore   (talk)  04:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Favicon
You recently added to animepedia and i want to know can we (am i allowed) change the favicon on animepedia to a favicon containing the animepedia mascot --IngerAlHaosului 11:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Absolutely! I merely changed it from the old Wikia logo to the new one; please customise it as you like. :) You may need to get a local administrator to update it, but I'm happy to help with this if you need. -- Manticore   (talk)  13:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I need to have some conrtol in CAW Wika
I need to take down these Trolls & Spammers on CAW Wika. How do I become a person in charge of CAW Wika?

XtremeTony 23:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Firstly, Administrators are not "in charge" of the wikis they look after. Secondly, your actions at that wiki are likely encouraging more vandalism. I understand your frustration, but calling the vandals "pieces of shit", "idiots", and telling them to "fuck off" is only enticing them to return, as you are giving them what they are looking for - attention.


 * It seems there are other users active at that wiki, so I suggest you speak to them about what's going on. Together you can elect new administrators. In the meantime, you are welcome to contact me if there's any more vandalism, though I will endeavour to check in there regularly.

description update in wikia central
Hi.. you reverted my changes to Wikia Central

here

I understand the catalog has to look more uniform, but this page just scares visitors away with out-of-date description, zero indication that the wiki is alive, and the hard-to-see link (the large box to the right looks like an ad rather than the link to the wiki). As I mentioned on IRC (you weren't there then), when I came to this page, my first reaction was "Oh this wiki is dead, I should ask admin to merge it with our twewy wiki." Then I realized it *is* pointing to our twewy wiki :( Very sad, since most ppl searching google would see this page before they have a chance to get to the actual twewy wiki.

Could you tell me what the guidelines are for the Central page, so I could at least update the description according to those guidelines?

Thank you Mmoroz 23:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC) w:c:twewy

Halopedia
Hey. I'm Aranho from Halopedia (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/User:Aranho). I'm sorry about my edits on Halopedia. I thought I can make the articles on Halopedia more Wikipedia-like until you've blocked me. I'm so sorry for what I've done. I just need to ask you something, when does my blocked expire? And may I know where to find the list of rules in Halopedia? I don't what to screw more things up in Halopedia. Thanks. Aranho 06:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Damn. I didn't notice I have a warning from the admins. Just asking, is there any new messages notifications in Halopedia? When I got this new message, I didn't receive and notifications. Aranho 06:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * We aren't Wikipedia. No seriously, we're not. I take a great deal of offense in what you have done here. You have replaced the hard work of numerous Halopedia editors with a cut and paste from Wikipedia, in effect stating that our content is worthless. You've also infringed on various copyright laws because you did not provide attribution to the editors at Wikipedia, whose hard work you have just stolen. I don't think there's a valid explanation for that at all, frankly. -- Manticore   (talk)  13:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Memory Alpha URL "blacklist"
Is it possible to add to the URL blacklist in effect for MA? We've seen this link posted on 11 pages now over the last ~72 hours. From 11 unique IP addresses. Thanks! -- Sulfur 12:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done, and replied at MA. -- Manticore   (talk)  12:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
