RuneScape Wiki Vandal
Morning Sannse. For a while, we've had a vandal re-making accounts as CS1, CS2, etc. Well, today he's made 4 so far, and is causing us much grief. Could we get a checkuser on : CS6, CS7, CS8, CS9 please. Thank you. 16:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It appears Kirkburn has taken care of our problem. 17:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Good good. -- sannse (talk) 18:50, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you again Sannse, but I have some information that might be helpful for our staff to have. Read this for more information regarding what we potentially may be dealing with in a short period of time. Just wanted to give you a heads up, and please let me know if there is any way I may help. 04:20, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Karlis, thanks for letting me know of this. I've talked it over with Kirkburn too.  I think all we can do at the moment is keep vigilant, and keep fixing problems and blocking as needed.  Don't forget that you can often find staff help on IRC in an emergency, I'll be online at times over the weekend and in the Wikia IRC channel.  I'll also make sure I check in to look for talk page messages and help as I can.  Eventually these kiddies get tired of the silly games, so this will pass in time :) -- sannse (talk) 18:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Sourcing
Good afternoon. You delivered at polite plagiarism warning three days ago to fringe.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Matias_arana_10 about content theft. It appears to have been ignored... as a completely new episode ( www.fringepedia.net/index.php?title=The_No-Brainer ) of this weeks' show has been duplicated, including customized images (one promotional image is different). Please take additional measures as you see fit. Thanks for your attention.  –DocH–  17:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've banned the user for a while, and one of my colleagues is looking at his latest edits to see which need to be removed. Thanks for letting me know -- sannse (talk) 18:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Apologize
Hi, I know I've taken information of Fringepedia and wanted to apologize, and I know I deserve the banning. I'll will never do that again, and I'm not trying to make the banning go by sending this message, I just wanted to apologize.

Matias arana 10 18:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting in touch. I look forward to seeing your original work when you return :) -- sannse (talk) 09:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank You :)

Matias arana 10 14:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a problem here, as I am blocked as well, even though I did nothing. Somehow, this person has the same IP as me, and I can't make edits. Please help. Here is the info from the Fringepedia block page: "Your current IP address is 71.254.213.189, and the block ID is #4. " Anomymage 16:12, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * That's very strange... I've removed that autoblock. Please let me know if you see more issues -- sannse (talk) 17:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Technical problem with new namespace.

RE:Atukam
The "Atukam" user has created about 10 accounts already on BIONICLEPedia. If you could please hand over his IP so he can be blocked on BP (I'll hand the IP to ToaAuserv, a friend of mine and administrator there). The Atukam user is getting out of hand, and is wasting your resources by creating these accounts. I suggest that you either hand the IP to the BP admins to block, or add the IP as a domain ban, seeing as he's a threat to all the wikis. I know, the ban can't be infinite, but it has to be long enough that the Atukam will eventually get bored and quit.

Sincerely,

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/custombionicle/images//6/6b/TheOracle_Sig.png 01:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, there are three IPs involved, and not in the same range. They don't appear to be open proxies, so they may be either the same guy on two or more computers (with three ISPs) or two or more guys working together.  I would recommend you ban 68.183.92.158 / 76.7.180.50 / 76.95.229.131 and contact us if you need any new accounts looking at -- sannse (talk) 12:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Pro wrestling wiki
Have you ever visited the pro wrestling wiki? I say its violating the wikia rules. Its just a porn wiki. They have mostly focused on women in bikini or very less clothes. Do something about it! 09:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I know it's a bit risqué, that's a part of female wrestling, but I wouldn't describe it as porn.  This isn't one that needs staff intervention -- sannse (talk) 12:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Ewrestling-l Administrator Authentication code
Hey there and happy new year! I have switched email accounts that needs to be updated on the mailing lists and I must have lost the code to get in. How do I get in with another code? Sundogs E-Wrestling Encyclopedia 20:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've changed the email for the mailing list to match the one in your preferences, and also reset the password. Please let me know if you don't get an email notifying you of the new password, and I'll send it manually.  -- sannse (talk) 12:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Could I have either rollback or admin?
Hello there.

I have been quite active in the Spanish Wikia and Spanish is my first language. I have also edited some parts of the English one because I also speak English. Lately, I have noticed many players vandalizing the Spanish wikia by editing the whole page and replacing it with URL of random websites; probably malicious one.

So, I wanted to ask if I either have rollback or admin power. I speak Spanish perfectly and I will continue to do until time tells.

Thanks for your time, Sannse. :)

P.S. The part that was vandalized was 'Cooking,' in the Spanish section. I edited it back.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a bureaucrat on the Spanish RS Wiki. I've asked him/her myself. Thanks!

V R4ng3r V2 22:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, the the bureaucrat isn't active, try Wiki adoption requests :) -- sannse (talk) 12:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

User Check
Could you check if Matias arana 10 is the same as Dark Kights? You recently block matias arana 10 for plagiarism, I wanted to check if it is the same person. &mdash; 02:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't say for certain... they are on the same range, but there is no direct IP match. I would suggest just keeping a watch for now, to see if there are any problems with their edits -- sannse (talk) 12:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Deleting "all pages created by" a specific account
I am not sure who did it, but someone created an account called User:This page has lots of consecutive edits which are hiding other pages from Special:RecentChanges. These edits should be patrolled. Oh no! Look at me go!!! I'll do it!!!! and created a lot of vandalism. It happened on w:c:dragonrp and the user is probably the same as User:Nodsd (perhaps, and only perhaps, something like 82.56.131.54 guessing (but only guessing) that all vandalism on the wiki is from one person). It seems that the administrator misunderstood something and now, I am not sure if User:Mighty Erick is going to read what happened, but I hope so. Both User:Nodsd and the user with the long username are probably automatic vandals, if that is the case, requiring not autoconfirmed users to prove to be people when making more than a specific amount of edits in a specific time would stop it. Lars (Poet) (speak page) 15:22, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately this was Mighty Erick, who seems to be doing some very strange things at the moment. His admin rights on that wiki have been removed now, and the account you mention has been blocked.  Uberfuzzy also deleted the pages, but that's filled Recent Changes in itself.  We will keep monitoring the situation to see how we can help -- sannse (talk) 12:36, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

CBW/BP Move
I'm not really sure why you don't understand this, but the move doesn't concern itself only with the ads. Its far more than that.

If you could please just allow us to move, because the community did vote to move. You're only holding us back.

Now, I've known you for a bit now, and you're helpful. But its not you. Its just that BP and CBW are moving on now.

If you could also read my email, it would be great. After setting up the site, I'll ask that you update the database dumps and image archives.

Sincerely,

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/custombionicle/images//6/6b/TheOracle_Sig.png 22:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I replied to your email, was there a problem there? or did you send a second? Please see the forum topic for more comments to you and the community. As always, you have the right to move, but that doesn't mean you can close the wiki behind you... there are other users and readers to think of as well. -- sannse (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I sent a second. As for the moving, I think you have to respect the vote. According to your Closed Wiki policy, a wiki that is moving can be closed on Wikia if the decision is unanimous. This was the case at CBW, and I think you should respect that. As for BP, only the topic would change to sets only, which, personally, I don't think is much of a deal. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/custombionicle/images//6/6b/TheOracle_Sig.png 22:13, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you need to look at the closed wiki page again. As it says there, we will keep a wiki open if there is a community who may want to edit (and with just two people voting to go, seems likely to me there will be) or if we think it can be adopted (and I think if the current admins choose to go, someone else will be willing to take on the wiki).  There is no need to close this wiki, there is still a future for a Custom Bionicle wiki on Wikia.  Please also see the discussion on the Bionicle wiki. -- sannse (talk) 09:31, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Spam blacklist
Hi, I cannot edit the page Jak zkalil Žanek Husa v Pakostnici, bacause  is on spam blacklist. Who manages this blacklist? Could be  removed from it? It´s a normal portal. --Karkos 15:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You can try add it to your local MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist -- Sixorish 15:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I cannot put it even on the whitelist, because it´s blacklisted. :-(--Karkos 14:02, 18 February 2009 (UTC
 * Fixed. I wrote there only 2nd and 1st level domain name and now it´s correct. --Karkos 14:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Extension Request
Hello, can you install the SyntaxHighlight extension on Terminator Wiki, just like the one on this Canon wiki? Here is an example of highlighting. &mdash; JeiaraTalk 05:33, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've turned it on -- sannse (talk) 09:33, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Some questions
Hello, I'm a Nonciclopedia admin. I have some questions: Thanks for the interest. MFHTalk 18:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you please remove the users Devil Kaiser and Mr.Bean from the sysop group? They have been absent for too much time.
 * Can you flag the user MFHbot as bot?
 * We were curious to know if it is possible, and what is needed, to be a little more "independent", I mean, if we can remove users from sysop and bureaucrat groups, create and delete namespaces, install extensions and such things.


 * Hi, I've made the rights changes (I'm assuming you have community agreement for them!)
 * On extra abilities for admins... it's something that we have been discussing. Extensions wouldn't be possible, because some extensions can have serious effects on the site as a whole, but it might be possible to increase admin or bureacrat's abilities to make other changes.  The main limitation is technical time to build a feature that is safe and easy to use.  I'll let you know if and when we come up with something -- sannse (talk) 19:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course, we voted here and here for the removal of the sysop rights, and a new bot is needed, since most of the old ones are now inactive. Thanks for answering my questions too. --MFHTalk 23:14, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

what is a Edit count
hey sannse just ask you what is a Edit count that you can see in preferences page were you put your real name and email than under edit count you can submit and i am asking you does it go. --Wiezorek James 00:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't really understand the question - there is an edit count link in your preferences, that leads to a table that shows how many edits you have on Wikia -- sannse (talk) 16:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Trouble with template from Wikia Templates
I'm having trouble with Template:Infobox/doc not looking the same as at Wikia Templates. I've imported all the other templates that are needed to go with it. Could you do something about it before February 17 when Wikia:Christianity will be switched to the new parser. User:Kathleen.wright5 at Wikia:Christianity 09:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, that was a tricky one! There was a line break in one of the sub-templates.  Kirkburn found it though.  In the process I switched the wiki to the new parser, so please look out for any problems.  I'll do some checks now to see if there are any I can find -- sannse (talk) 17:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Help
on the Bakugan wiki there is this user called Generalgrievous112 who is harrasing my talk page (See in the history) please ban him and tell me when so that I know I'm safe --Ventress112 17:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Is grievous banned on the Bakugan wiki? and now the Indiana jones wiki.


 * I see this is someone you know off line. And it seems you have both been playing games.  This needs to stop now.  If it continues, it's likely I will ban both of you.  It also looks like you need to ignore him more.  If you refuse to react, rather than posting on multiple admins and staff pages to complain, it makes it a lot less fun for him... and then he is more likely to stop.  But my main advice is to sort this out off-line, where it started. -- sannse (talk) 19:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser
Hi, when you have time, could you run a CheckUser on Grand Master Caedus on Star Wars Fanon please? He's suspected to be a sockpuppet of Darth Kieduss the Wise. Thanks. Drewton ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, looks like it... and also of Jedi Master Herrington. The IP isn't always the same, but all three are on 68.190.46.152 - so you may want to block that -- sannse (talk) 18:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the sockpuppet account has been banned. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Auto block
Hi! I got this message from Mobutu4:

Hey, I've been autoblocked because KrazyKat has been using my IP. I have no idea how, but now I can't edit there anymore. Please resolve the issue. Thanks. - Mobutu4

I don't really know what has happened and I can't help him either. He edits on the Ratchet & Clank wiki and the user "KrazyKat" is currently known as "Lombax Jerk".

So I need to ask for your help, please. HiQu | My talk 11:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've removed the block that seemed to be causing the problem... I'm not sure why it was triggered though, most strange -- sannse (talk) 10:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Need to revoke admin status
I have a user named ThatFellow on my wiki. Up until recently, I hadn't had any problems with him as far as editing or causing trouble. However, now he's been abusing his powers by taking credit for other admins' pages and adding little to no relevant content to the wiki. We've all agreed that he must be dealt with. Would you mind removing his admin status? Thank you.

~Spike's Girl from the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses wiki


 * It doesn't look to me as though you have actually talked to the guy. Although you may have done off-wiki of course.  I would say that should be your first step here... it's always better to resolve such problems though discussion.  Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 10:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, we HAVE talked to him. Numerous times, in fact. He just refuses to listen to a word we say. It's obvious to everyone he doesn't care about what he's doing. We'd really appreciate it if you could just remove his status...

~Spike's Girl (TGWTG wiki)
 * Hi, please could you link me to the relevant talk pages? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Are you referring to the user we're having problems with? If so, then his talk page is here.

~Spike's Girl (TGWTG wiki)

Hello, I'm Cferra. I'm a co-admin hired by Spike's Girl when the TGWTG wiki was created. I was the one who banned ThatFellow because he rolled back a page he created to himself after it was deleted by another administrator, after telling him the content was not related to the site's purpose. Which is to be a database for information regarding thatguywiththeglasses.com While we staff members have profile pages, this man had created a page dedicated to advertising himself and his website/videos. He spent more time working on that page than anything else.

We talked to ThatFellow numerous times about his page and asked him to be more of a team player. He never talked to us and kept to himself. This talking was all done off of the wikia and he denied any wrongdoing when he took credit for my work. He and other users have also had edit wars with him. The problems continued to persist until measures had to be taken and he was fired. He was also banned for a year due to his conduct. We don't feel he was a team player. We gave him numerous chances and as a result, he has met us with defiance off of the wiki.

We ask that he is to be de-adminned because he doesn't seem to work well with the team. He just wants to focus on his own agenda and not that of the site as a whole as he wants to advertise his own site and not work on anything related to thatguywiththeglasses.com.

-Cferra (TGWTG Wiki)

In addition, his actions on the main thatguywiththeglasses.com site were inexcusable. The man was so desperate to get his work featured that he pestered several site members and even asked his entire YouTube fanbase to spam the admin with e-mails to force himself onto the site. As a result, the admin personally called him out in a news message about his disgraceful conduct. He also holds a grudge against several other admins because he feels that they are conspiring against him. (this is not the case, I know these admins and they are nice people) These are not the actions of a responsible person who should be editing a Wiki.

- Film Brain (TGWTG Wiki)


 * OK, that's done. -- sannse (talk) 20:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. For some reason he still seems to be located under the sysops list. Does this take time to tak effect or something?

-Cferra (TGWTG Wiki)


 * Yes, that list is updated about once a day. It's cleared for me now, but look out for browser cache too.  If you still see him listed, you may need to clear your cache to see the current list -- sannse (talk) 11:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Revoked Admin?
o.o why did you just revoke my Bureaucrats/Sysops? Kitten of Doom is a new admin with only a couple edits to http://cityofheroes.wikia.com where as I've been an admin for several yrs now and have hundred of contributions.--Sleepy Kitty 12:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I understood that you and the others I removed rights for had moved to another wiki... is that wrong? If so, I'll restore your rights -- sannse (talk) 13:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The ones who moved on have all listed on their user pages that they have done so. I'm still semi active here (its a pretty low volume wiki now) and check to see if anything needs doing about every other day. I'm also a Bureaucrats/Sysops over at the Tabula Rasa wiki as well so I was a bit surprised to suddenly get demoted at one and not the other without any warning on any of my user talk pages. --Sleepy Kitty 21:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I should have been more careful. I'm put your rights there back -- sannse (talk) 14:36, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry to bother you again, KoD seems very hostile towards myself so I'm going to save everyone the trouble (too late, I know) and just call it quits for now. I'll finish cleaning up my hoax and user page images later (fingers cramping from the repeated motions) tonight. If the wiki ends up needing admins again later on, my email should be on record with the wiki and I'll still be checking my other user pages on occasion. Best Wishes -SK --Sleepy Kitty 20:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Image problems lately
Hey Sannse,

Did something happen to images? Suddenly I'm able to see only some of the images on a page, and can't see the big ones at all. Refreshing, clearing page cache, and using a different browser all don't help. (I'm on Conworld wikia.) Tel Loiryn 14:59, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We have had some recent cache issues due to the new London servers, but that's usually to do with updating images. Please could you link me to specific images you are having a problem with?  Do you see anything in place of the images? Any error messages? Also, could you let me know what country you are editing from (this affects which server you use).  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Sourcing - revisited
Wholesale plagiarism continues under a fresh name at Fringe.wikia.com - this time under the Dark Kights user name

User rights
Hello, could you remove the user rights off my old "Lombax Jerk" account on Blargipedia. This is my new account. HK22 06:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This is one of those "do it yourself" moments ;) You can remove two of the flags, and the bureaucrat one can just sit there - no harm if it's just an old account. -- sannse (talk) 15:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

How to remove redlinked templates from template?
Is there some way to remove redlinked templates from templates? Examples Template:Left Behind and Template:Roman provinces 120 AD. --Kathleen.wright5 08:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC) ,from Wikia:Christianity


 * Yes, it's a matter of finding where they are used in the template (or more often in a sub-template used in the template) and removing the link. Sometimes they are several templates down.  Frankly, this is why it's not a good idea to use complext templates from Wikipedia.  If you can't understand them (and I certainly can't!) then it's difficult to fix and adapt them :) -- sannse (talk) 15:31, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
