Fair use
Hi. We would like to know the staff opinion about using fair use in non-English wikias, particularly in wikis written in Spanish. From what I have read, it only works for people living in the USA. This forum was created to know about this: Forum:About Fair use. I hope you can help us clarify this issue. We need to know that in order to know what to do with images in w:c:arte and w:c:literatura. --Davinci - talk 18:43, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning
When updating licensing to CC-BY-SA-3.0, why some languages of MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning weren't taken affect?

for some example...


 * MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-hk
 * MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-sg
 * MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-hans

I didn't know in other languages were also.....???? (For example: es, pl, pt are currently OK, but zh-hk, zh-hans, zh-hant)

Should it be checked up? Rico Shen contact... 05:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It's because whoever translated it didn't use "$2" for the license. That's why those messages didn't take affect. You need to translate the message and be sure to translate the actual message: "All contributions to are considered to be released under the  $2 (see $1 for details)."-- BlueDevil  Talk 17:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Possible vandal
Please help me keep an eye on the userpage of ChrisChanSonichu as he is obviously a sensitive person and at Wikiindex where I am an administrator I had to delete vicious obscene insults on his userpage. On his talk page I suggested Autism Wiki and the trolls who tried to trash his Wikiindex Userpage may follow him to Autism Wiki. Autism Wiki isn’t very active at the moment, so we may need to make sure that any vandalism is removed and the vandals are blocked promptly. I didn’t realize that the wiki isn’t active when I suggested that he go there. Proxima Centauri 16:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Caught in an IP ban on the Half-Life wiki.
Yesterday, an admin at the Half-Life wiki, Klow, rebanned a banned user, Mega Sean 45. However, when Mega Sean was rebanned, I was banned as well. It claims that Mega Sean has used my IP. I have no connection to Mega Sean 45 and I have proven this to Klow via him unblocking then blocking Mega Sean. When that happened, I was able to edit again. However, I have now been blocked again. Would it be possible to set a ban exception for my IP so that I don't get caught in Mega Sean's ban? Darkman 4 03:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

What's this?
These green "Infolinks" thingys keep appearing randomly all over Wikia for me. What's going on?--Akamia 03:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It was from a small test for a few wikis that messed up and affected all wikis. it'll be fixed very soon. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  04:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope so. They are very annoying. Tardis1963 04:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

1 year for relatively minor stuff huh?
lucky for us both, hardly anyone REALLY seems to use the survivor wiki pages but 1 year for that? Oh well, that is what mobile devices and libraries are for anyway. Note that I did not use any profanity, and stuff that was not favorable but within scope of article was also edited out. Whippletheduck 05:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Disabling of accounts
How the hell can you disable an account?--The prefessional launchballer is very resourceful. 15:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand what your asking here. --Uberfuzzy 16:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know how disabling an account is possible.--The prefessional launchballer is very resourceful. 17:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you asking How I did it? I'm wikia staff, we have tools to do these things. It scrambles the password to a random string, and blankes the email, and does some other database stuff. --Uberfuzzy 17:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that.--The prefessional launchballer is very resourceful. 11:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Template display
Hi Uberfuzzy. I have some problems over at the Megami Tensei Wiki where I tried to use the "Template:Template Display" to display Userboxes over at its special Userbox page. When adding special parameters like "date" or "name" using the "param=" line, the link to the template instead points to a non-existent "Template:Tlp". The templates that I used were "T1" and "Tl", and I disregard use of "Template:T" because I don't know how to use it. Help please?  BLUER   一番   10:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Dont see it anymore, did you fix it? --Uberfuzzy 17:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think I did. Actually, I don't know if what I did worked. My point of reference was finalfantasy.wikia.com, but they use different templates. So I'm not sure how to make "template display" work.  BLUER   一番   03:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Babylon 8
The dozens of users formerly known as Babylon 8 once again vandalized Star Wars Fanon today, using obscene account names based on slandering and insulting me, despite the fact that you blocked a number of the IPs yesterday. Clearly this user is making use of a proxy, so could you please block the email address that is being used? I just want this to stop. It's ridiculous. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * he's doing it from an iphone, so theres lots of ip ranges they use. I'll block them as they get used. I'm also enabling some other protections for that wiki to try to slowdown/stop him. --Uberfuzzy 02:26, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate it. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 13:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Five additional accounts were created today. Could you block those IPs? Thanks. Also, is there a way to block account creation with certain words? For example, could you prevent the creation of accounts that have the words "Kill", "Fuck", "Brandon", "Cock", etc. in them? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Make that eight accounts plus a spree of vandalism. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Namespace
Hi, I need a Namespace for Walkthroughs (Guías in spanish) for my Final Fantasy wiki in spanish, I need it because these are walkthrough and not normal articles. Please I need help.

Salud! Cheke 11:44, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * His wiki is es.finalfantasy.wikia.com, and the english finalfantasy wiki has a Walkthrough namespace (and talk). -- ◄mendel► 11:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Justice wanted
I've been blocked infinitely from The Elder Scrolls Wiki for "Being a voice of dissent". User:Galaactica and User:Rpeh were blocked for similar reasons. This means that all three of us were blocked for exercising our Freedom of Speech. I would like these unjust blocks removed. Unfortunately, that may not be enough. User:KickAssJedi and User:Xell Khaar are out of control; their administrative status may have to be removed. KickAssJedi has also changed the rights of most of the users; I would like to have those changes reverse. If I need administrative powers in order to ensure that these injustices don't happen again (or to reverse future injustices), I would gladly accept that duty, but that may not be necessary. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You can always request a database dump and use it to set up your own wiki.Wikia is lettingyou create duplicate wikis. -- ◄mendel► 11:06, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't want to create a new wiki. I want to fix the original wiki. Just look at w:c:elderscrolls:Special:Log/block; it's madness; even Angela was blocked. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In addition, most of the Database dumps hasn't been updated since June 13. A month's worth of edits will be lost. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Primal Wiki
Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me who the admin is on the Primal wiki. It's pretty deserted and it seems like just me and Jove The Hacker are the only ones contributing (and that's only since about a month ago when JTH started to). I've done a fair bit today, adding a logo, REALLY fleshing out character pages and adding images (along with the logo and soon FavIcon as well). I was just wondering if you could pass admin rights onto myself and Jove The Hacker because I can't change the look of the wiki or, to my knowledge, create templates and these are musts to get the wiki up to standard.--Benxander 22:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser transfer
Hello Uber, since you were the one to originally give four admins on the RuneScape wiki the checkuser tool I'd like to ask a favor. Andorin one of the four checkusers is now inactive, therefore if you could switch the tool to this trusted admin it would certainly be appreciated in filling the gap left by Andorin's sporadic activity. Many thanks.-- 23:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
