Forum:MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning

On our wiki, we have a page that used to alert IP-only (i.e., anonymous) editors that they were not logged in. This file is located at MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning. One of the biggest reasons this was useful was just in case a regular editor was about to make an edit and had forgotten to log in. It served as a reminder.""However, I just noticed that it does not appear at the top of an edit screen with the new Wikia (i.e., Oasis) skin. Any thoughts? How can we get this working again? Thanks! — Spike Toronto  23:50, May 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is just Wikia trying to hid useful tools on the new skin. While they keep the Image Attribution and other useless features. I know, this comment is not helpful here, but bear with that. Someone had to say that. Maybe it has something to do that registered users can choose to not see ads, so if anonymous users get an account they will probably turn off ads and Wikia earn less money. Just my though, I may be wrong. Probably Staff has a better explanation. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 11:00, May 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * First of all: When you create an account ads are turned off by default, Second: Image attribution is very useful against spam and vandalism, you find it useless because you where never and admin.

 * So, no ideas then? I was wondering if the file were to have a different name, would it then appear to users of the Wikia skin? The reason I was wondering this is that the Wiki skin sometimes uses different MediaWiki files for messages than does (my favorite) Monobook. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  00:09, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry Nobody, but Ciencia was probably an admin and a good one long before you ever were. I've been an admin on WoWWiki since around 2005 and image attribution does not have much use for me and actually may violate the CC-by-SA license, since it it really isn't attribution, but last uploader identification. Attribution should tell you who created the image, not who uploaded it.
 * Back on topic. MediaWiki engine or extension functionality issues should be directed to w:c:admintools:Special:Contact. We can't do anything about it here at Community Central. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 1 Jun 2011 12:28 AM Pacific
