A favicon for Wikiality.com
Hello! Could you please help me figure out how to make this favicon work on Wikiality? None of us know how to do it. I uploaded it here, but I don't know what to do next. duh. Just in case, here is the image from which we made the favicon. If you could explain the process we would really appreciate it! (If possible, could you reply on my Wikiality talk page, so the other admins can see, too?) Thanks --thisniss 18:26, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help with the coding. We were able to get the User icon working, but I still haven't managed to get the one working in the URL bar for some reason.  We have a user who got one working on another Wikia - hopefully he can get it sorted out for us.  Thanks again!! --thisniss 01:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem at wikiality is that when the site was imported, it was requested that the site stay the same, including the null article path. This means, that articles have the format domain/Pagename rather than the usual Wikia/Wikipedia domain/wiki/Pagename. This precludes the existence of certain root files and scripts, such as robots.txt, favicon.ico, query.php, and api.php without some ugly hacking (if it is even possible). You might ask Dauno to consider asking the wikia devs to move the article to /wiki/ (with a 404 meta refresh redirect so as not to break links). --Splarka (talk) 06:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for your help. We feel so much cooler now with our new picsies. Will mention the difficulties to Dauno and see if he can make changes to make things easier.  I am in way over my head when it comes to that level of programming, so I admire the hackspertise it took to make it work for us. -- thisniss 20:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

An unblock in Absurdopedia
I meant unblocking Роман Беккер, which is really me :) And not Барнаул, which is NOT Barnaul, just pretends to be him :) Roman Bekker 18:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

All contributions by this user in Absurdopedia wiki are trolling, personal attacks (examples:, ) and voting on AFD page. As he appeared in project at the same time as Барнаул (27 January 2007), I suspect this user to be Барнаул's sockpuppet. First edit of Барнаул - after 25 minutes after Роман Беккер's first edit. See also personal attacks and insults from Барнаул:, , ,. Please also note that this user is well-known troll in Wikipedia:, ,. I refuse to unblock this user. 09:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your time in looking into this -- Sannse 13:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Logo at nintendo:pt:
Thank you Sannse! If possible, can you made a normal-transparent background logo (with Nintendo in original red)? Just to prevent future changes in main bg :)

And can you help one more time? It's possible to made a favicon to wiki? If possible, I would like one with the red "N" from Nintendo with the circle border... Salut! 23:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'll try and get these to you later this week :) -- Sannse 14:04, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've uploaded the favicon, it may take a little while to show. I have the other file, but unfortunately it's on my desktop.. and I'm on my laptop elsewhere.  I'll get it uploaded as soon as I can though -- Sannse 13:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Tx! I have a few ideas... at the end I'll give you a award! Sorry by the incovenience, 17:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've uploaded Splarka's version of the logo with a transparent background and red text. And I see the favicon is showing now too, hope it's OK :) -- Sannse 12:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Sannse, I was looking into getting a job at wikia, and I was just wondering, where should I go or who should I talk to to find out? Thanks,--Zerotrousers22:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Zerotrousers. The page to watch is Hiring, that's where any upcoming jobs are posted.  I'm not sure what sort of job you are looking for, but the most likely to come up at the moment are probably specific technical positions and community staff who speak languages we don't yet cover.  Although I'm not aware of any specific positions coming up other than those already on the page.  Hope that helps -- Sannse 08:14, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but the Hiring page seems to be used more full time jobs requiring experience in a certain field (Something I don't have.) I was more looking for something part time which simply involved looking after small wiki's.--User:Zerotrousers/sog 02:34, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That page lists any upcoming jobs... the last one listed there for the community team was on this version. It's for a Japanese speaker, but the job description gives an idea of what is looked for.  As I said, I don't know of any positions coming up, but you could always write to Angela and tell her you are interested in working with us.  Mostly though, looking after small wikis is done by volunteers :) -- Sannse 12:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

IMDb mini logo
Hi hi. I noticed you like making these small logos. Catherine just made a main logo for me and I though maybe you could make one small. I don't even have photoshop on my brand new Mac. Anyway, if not, then it's no problem. imdb.wikia.com --Steinninn 06:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll give it a go. Probably not until after the weekend now though -- Sannse 13:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. Hate to bug you again. But how's the mini IMDb logo going? --Steinninn 18:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry things have been a bit hectic :) I've uploaded one that might be OK... it's based on the IMDB logo, but isn't a direct copy... you can see it at: http://images.wikia.com/imdb/images/6/64/Favicon.ico


 * If you don't think it will work, let me know and I'll have another try. It may take a day or so to show, tell me if it doesn't turn up and we'll give the servers a kick.  -- Sannse 20:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That's perfect :) Thanks --Steinninn 20:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Apicultura
Hi, Sannse! I want to ask you, because I saw at recent changes, to drop an eye on my request to start a wiki about beekeeping (apicultura in Romania). Starting editing as soon as possible would be great, because I have more time in the next days. Thank you very much! Greetings, --Adela 13:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi I've replied there, but have to get off-line now (to try and sort out my home connection!) I will be in again tommorow -- Sannse 15:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Vandal at the Dragon Ball Wiki
The user Prince Zarbon has engaged in large scale vandalism on the Dragon Ball Wiki. I have reverted all the vandalism, deleted vandalism newpages, and merged page histories for some articles which had them split in the past. This user is most likely a user from Wikipedia who has engaged in vandalism there including many Sockpuppets. Because of this and some of that user's comments it is highly likely that that user may engage in cross-wiki vandalism on Wikia and also come back to the DB Wiki with another sockpuppet. I would like to request CheckUser be use on Prince Zarbon on the Dragon Ball Wiki to check for any sockpuppets he may have and any other IP's he may come from to prevent more extreme vandalism there. And I would also like to request Global Blocks on him and his primary IP to prevent cross-wiki vandalism (He did mention something about vandalising another Wikia wiki, but while he did mention the InuYasha Wiki it is unknown what wiki he will actually target). See w:c:dragonball:User talk:Prince Zarbon for a few links and information on the vandalism. Thanks for your help. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 11, 2007 @ 17:47 (UTC)


 * Replied via IRC -- Sannse 12:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Hi! Bookofjude 09:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Jude! :) missing you my friend. Hopefully I'll be back on IRC more consistently soon.  Hope you are having a wonderful time away -- Sannse 12:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Bot-account
Hey Sannse! I'm editor on Danish Wookieepedia, and discovered some spellingmistakes that was made in all pages. Therefore I want to create a Bot to replace the words correctly. Dantman has helped me with the bot, but he said that I should ask you to give an account Bot status. You can answer on this page. I hope you can help me (: - Bakse 18:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Replied on that page ;) -- Sannse 12:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your respond! I have created an account for the Bot. The words to be corrected is on 210 pages, so it might be disturbing for some people (: R2-D2 (BOT) is the username called. Do you need the code for the account? - Bakse 17:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I Just thought that it would be smart to put an sysop status, so it could edit all pages, but I will remove it at once (: - Bakse 21:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC) That was kind of a mistake. I can't find out how i can pull the sysop rights back. Hmm.. and I have to study for tomorrows exam :/ I'm gonna see to that tomorrow sorry - Bakse 21:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * All sorted :) -- Sannse 20:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your help Sannse (: I'll contact you if I need further help - Bakse 18:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

It's me again (: Do you know how to set up the bot? I have now tried a couple of days with the help of the instructionpage, but I just don't get it.. I know I'm asking all the time, but I would be very happy if you would help me some more :) - Bakse 23:37, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, that's not something I know anything about. I believe there is a help channel on IRC - try searching on Wikimedia's meta wiki -- Sannse 13:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair :) I'll ask around to other peoples. But thanks anyway ;) - Bakse 10:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

MTG Wiki favicon
I've tried uploading the icon to favicon.ico, doing ctrl+F5, resetting my cache, but the favicon doesn't show up as the one I uploaded (it stays as the default). I've uploaded the one that I want until this can be sorted out. Thanks! --Skizzerz talk 01:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * They sometimes take a little while to show up, looks like it's there now. If you still don't see it, try clearing your cache and press Ctrl and F5.  That should do it.  Let me know if you need more help with that -- Sannse 09:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Emergency!
I can't log in! Everytime I log in, on the next page I'm automatically logged out! Please help! I tried to create a page on RPG Arena called "Chaos Drikin", but it's under my IP Adress's name. Help! Ike 14:56, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you know how to clear your cookies? if you are using IE, it's under tools > internet options. That will fix it for now, and we are working on a complete fix.  Not sure what's happening yet.  Sorry for the problem -- Sannse 07:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Favicon
Hi, can you make me a favicon for my wikia? Thanks! -- Ham Solo talk to the Ham! "You're all clear, kid!" 01:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Ham Solo, I'm away at the moment... I'll be back home in two weeks. But I can have a look then if you can wait -- Sannse 17:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Ham. I made a favicon for you and uploaded it, but it didn't seem to take.  Perhaps you'll have to upload it, since I'm not an admin on that wikia. User:WestonWyse/Sig 13:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Nice work! I've fixed the transparency, just to make it look good on firefox tabs too :) -- Sannse 17:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Changes to Nickelodeon
Hi, Sannse. You seem to be the go-to person for a lot of this, so I thought I'd start here. There's been some discussion over on the Nickelodeon Wiki about the lack of an admin taking care of things there. The consensus (from both of us) seems to be that Darth Anxor and I should be made admins, so we can take care of things a bit better. If I should be posting this somewhere else, please just let me know. Either way, thanks for your time. User:WestonWyse/Sig 13:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, it looks as though Hailey C. Shannon, the current admin, has been active just a few days ago. So it would be best for you to discuss this with her first.  Otherwise, I have no objections, looks like you've both been doing good work.  So check she has no problem with this, and I will admin you both.  Sorry for the slow reply -- Sannse 18:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

DynamicArticleList on Memory Alpha?
Hello, I always asked myself about how to get article popularity and I have seen a posible mean on wikikto (which is not wikia, I know; but, it uses the Mediawiki soft like MA does). You could find the extension there. Do you know if there is a possibility to implement it on Memory Alpha, before or during the next Mediawiki upgrade to 1.10 version? User:Splarka told me on IRC that it could be achieved by filtering recent changes contents (quoting him: 'hot' won't work(why!?) ; recent discussions: show changes in namespace 1, 3, 5, etc ; recently updated articles: filter recent changes for namespace 0 2 4 6 ; 'new' == Special:Newpages) but I don't know how to tweak that. Argh, help me, please! ;-) --StarTrekMan(Talk &#x007c; Contribs) 15:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * This is something that is part of the new skin, which should be available on Memory Alpha within the next few days. Have a look at the smoke or slate skin on Inside Wikia for a preview -- Sannse 18:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Conruyt: If all you wanted from that extension was to list popular pages, it wouldn't do any good on Wikia anyways, as page hits counters are disabled. --Splarka (talk) 07:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
