Themes namespace on logocreation
Hi sannse! On Logo Creation Wiki we were thinking of creating a project for designing custom skins for wikis. I was wondering if you could make a new namespace for that? Perhaps "Theme" and "Theme comments." I think that would work fine. Thanks! swannietalk 14:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, that's all set up... and nice idea! -- sannse (talk) 09:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! swannie  http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png  talk  13:58, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello again! Could you make a "Logo" namespace on Logo Creation Wiki, too? Thanks! swannie http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png  talk  15:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also done :) -- sannse (talk) 15:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Halo fanon Admin is ruling the sight. And no one will stand up about this!
An admin on Halo fanon has been over ruling anything the other admins say by his opinion including the banning of Whitehwk and The evil omalley. I got banned for getting advice from Omalley for an artcile after he was banned.Omalley was banned because of flaming and repeated spamming of Ajax 013. I have reasons to believe he has overpowered every other admin on Halofanon. So would you please speak to him. I would but he has me muted on the IRC and my IP addres banned from sending messages to him or any other administrator. Would you please speak to him and ask why he bans everyone in sight for not taking his advice on articles. And ask him why he thinks I was helping Omalley ban dodge. I ask you because i trust you'll make the right decision. User: Whitehwk
 * From what I see of O'Malley's actions on the wiki, his ban was very wise. As for your ban, I understand that the initial part of the problem was on IRC.  So I can't look at that, but I trust the admin team to look at the situation and decide if the ban is fair.  I understand that you feel the other admins are being over-ruled by one, but any admin can remove a block, or question the block - I believe they will do that if necessary.
 * My suggestion is, to leave the wiki alone for a while, just back off and let things calm down. Then contact a user in good standing who you think you can work with, and ask them to contact an admin for you.  They can just ask if the admin will discuss the situation with you, and try to resolve the problems.  But I do recommend giving it some time and space first - that often helps a lot with issues like this. -- sannse (talk) 10:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

UnRuneScape Wiki
There's no active admins there, it would seem. May I have bureaucrat rights there? I seem to have taken a liking to the wiki...Winston 02:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC).
 * I think the best thing on this one is for me to give the active admin, Skill, bureaucrat rights... then they can decide who in the community (or the beginnings of a community) to give admin flags to :) -- sannse (talk) 10:13, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

User rename/merge
Couple questions: 1) Do you prefer all talk page comments/questions here, or is on one of the branch wikis okay? (such as stexpanded, where you've made contributions)

2) Could you get Rename user and User merge and delete implemented (either for stexpanded above or maybe all of Wikia)? This could be a very handy feature. Please reply here. Thanks, --Sasoriza 23:45, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Replied there :) -- sannse (talk) 10:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I have decided
I have decided to leave wikia all together. Many people have problems with my personality so I have decided to leave forever.
 * I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you will consider my advice above, I'm sure that the situation can be resolved in time. -- sannse (talk) 07:34, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Request
I know it's not your job to do so, but may you please clear the articles for speedy deletion at the Fanon Wiki for me? I don't have administrator privileges anymore (and don't want any, as you know) and therefore cannot do it myself, but I would like to have that content (which I created and "requested" for deletion) removed from the Wiki/history for good. Please and thank you. --Victor talk 09:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * All done. Perhaps whoever is active there can organise some new admins... looks like they are needed there -- sannse (talk) 16:59, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Skin
Right now, I have set my own preferences so I see things in the "Standard (Classic)" skin. I like a couple of things about it (especially, I hate sans-serif type!) and if I have any say in the matter. I'd really prefer a custom skin for Broadcasting, though I don't know CSS well enough to actually create such a thing. So I'd really like to have your help in setting things up before you go and switch it over from Quartz to Monaco. -- BruceG 13:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, do you have any ideas for colour schemes? One way to choose is to use a template and play around with the colours a bit.  There's one at Image:Skin base.png which might help.  Or some give me some ideas and I'll see what I can do! b I suggest we talk about this over at broadcasting.wikia :) -- sannse (talk) 14:57, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, see the User talk page under your ID on broadcasting.wikia. -- BruceG 22:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

New Skin
Hey Sannse,

Why do we have to move to the Monaco skin?I think the Quartz skin is fine right now.--  Seth   14:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's a general move to standardise the look of all Wikia wikis a bit more (although you can customise Monaco). we are visiting wikis all over Wikia at the moment to help them transfer to the new skin.  It's partly for the adversisers, so that they see us as one "package" and not lots of little sites, partly so that we can concentrate on developing one sking, and partly because we believe Monaco is a better skin - especially for new users.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience in thsi, but hopefully I can help if you want to make Monaco a bit yours.  Or, of course, Sapphire Monaco uses the same scheme as Sapphire Quartz - so hopefully not too big a jump. -- sannse (talk) 15:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I changed the skin,even though I don't like the fact much that the adverts are in the article space.Oh well.And,can you do me a favor?It seems that the language widget for monaco isn't showing the other languages of Custom Bionicles.If you can fix that,it would be great.--  Seth   02:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've set them up, and added the code to the main pages, all looks good :) thanks for switching -- sannse (talk) 14:06, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks,but I have two more things (sorry).It appears that the Language module doesn't work on the Polish Custom Bionicles,although that probably has to do with the fact that that the domains are different (polish is pl.custombionicles.wikia.com,while German & english is on custombionicle.wikia.com).And if you can,please change  to   (to change the apple icon) so it would be   in LocalSetting.php.--   Seth   19:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem with the Polish wiki may have been caching... it's working for me. Are you still seeing that as broken?  What exactly do you see?  Are the links missing? or do they just go to the wrong place?
 * $wgAppleTouchIcon isn't one of the variables I am able to change. I've contacted one of the technical team to help, so will get back to you when I know more.  It may be that the version of MediaWiki that we are using is before the version that was introduced in - although I don't think so from the documentation.  Anyway, I'll let you know as soon as I find out more -- sannse (talk) 13:34, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah,the lang module is working on all sites now.Before,it only showed Polish on CBW PL (Custom Bionicles Wiki PL).As for ,it seems that Wikia wikis are running on an older revision than the one that introduced   (Wikia runs on  ,stated in Special:Version,the one that introduces $wgAppleTouchIcon is  ).However,I stopped by Bioniclepedia and they announced that "Bioniclepedia now has an iPhone icon.".iPhone icon  is the same thing as  ,if I'm not mistaken,so I'm not sure what's the problem.--   Seth   19:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've asked for more information on this, so hopefully I should knw more soon. But I suspect you are right, it's a version issue.  I don't have a date for the upgrade to 1.13 yet, but I've heard the techy types mention it a few times, so hopefully not too far away. That will almost certainly solve the problem -- sannse (talk) 09:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

System messages
Hello. I asked on forum a long time ago about the translations, but without any answer. I was admin and translator on Internationalization Wikia to translate the interface messages to Bulgarian. Where and how to request admin flag for messaging.wikia.com, because there are many messages that require translation? --DCLXVI 15:29, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi DCLXVI. Yes, translations have got somewhat off-track on our part since Rieke moved on.  But we are trying to get things working again now.  Avatar has set up a mailing list at http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/wikia-translations-l and I'm going to set up a new section in the Central Forums today.  We won't be giving out admin flags for messaging, but we will be setting up better ways of communicating that translations are ready and getting them live.  We are also looking into the translation extension that BetaWiki use.  So, for now, please just point me or other staff towards the translations you've done and we'll get them live.  And it would be great if you would join us on the mailing list and forum to work out the best ways to organise all this.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 08:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I joined the mailing list. I know the Translate extension, because I am translator on Betawiki, where I translate to Bulgarian both MediaWiki software and the available extensions. --DCLXVI 09:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's great, it will be good to have you with us as we get translations back on track -- sannse (talk) 09:37, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Some problem in Nonciclopedia
Hi, I'm Pfenner a Nonciclopedia's admin.

We're having some technical problem, I resume them in the following points:
 * All the pages under the namespace NonDizionario are disappeared and we can't retrieve them, this happened after the creation of this namespace.
 * The new namespace NonNotizie seems to be ignored from the articles count.
 * We can't use the "upload image" during the edit of an article: after uploading an image, the "insert image" button doesn't work.

I'm sorry if something is not clear. Thanks for help! --Pfenner 17:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Pfenner
 * This is being fixed. They should have been moved before the namespace was made (and moved back afterwards) but that bit was missed - oops!  They will be back shortly.
 * Can you list all the namespaces that should be included in the article count? I'll make sure all is set up correctly
 * I see the issue with the "upload image" button - I'll get this reported. The problem is that this button has been replaced by a new system, but that new system is only available on Monaco skin.  I'll find out more.
 * -- sannse (talk) 09:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The only new namespace that should be included in the article count is NonNotizie. Thanks again! --Pfenner 11:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, that's done -- sannse (talk) 11:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for NonDizionario! :) --Pfenner 11:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Alleluja! -_-' Thanks! --Zaza 20:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

YoutubePoopFan
Someone going by the name of YoutubePoopFan has created a load of nonscense pages. A few have been deleted, and I've tagged the rest. Could you please delete the pages (and possibly block him)? -- Yowuza TALK 2 ME! 19:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Yowuza, looks like Uberfuzzy got to it :) -- sannse (talk) 09:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

New skin
I'm still wondering about the serif vs. sans-serif type problem; I did address a couple of other comments to you on User talk:Sannse today, but this question is the main one that would concern me before changing my default. I don't really understand the files that you created/copied, so I'm not likely to edit them, but except for the type I can live with them as is. -- BruceG 17:33, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it looks like we are almost there. All the fonts were changed except for the actual page text! That's still in sans-serif. If we can make that change, I'll say let's install it as the new default. -- BruceG 18:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yep, it's close! I just need to get that last bit of info, and check that I didn't miss anything.  Watch this space :) -- --sannse (talk) 19:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

RuneScape Clans Wiki
Hello, I was wondering if I could re-adopt (or get b-crat' status) on the RuneScape Clans Wiki? It seems like our founder isn't active anymore. Thanks! Spencemac724 00:33, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks as though there is the begninings of a community there, all starting on the wiki at a similar time. Although you have done the most there so far, I think it would still be best to try and discuss this with the other users, and see if you can agree on new admins between you.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 21:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * So your saying we should discuss to see who would be the right choice for adminship? If that's the case, I'll start a discussion on the Community Portal talk or the forums. Thank you for your help! Spencemac724 22:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, and remember you can have more than one if that's what the community decides. It's good to build up contact with other users on the wiki, so this is a good opportunity to start :) -- sannse (talk) 11:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Well if we can have more than one, I think there is 2 in mind (plus me) that the wiki would benifit most from. Thanks, Spencemac724 02:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

eincyclopedia
we in eincyclopedia noticed that the talk page problems at our projects have been resolved and hope that our new project "einminim" (איןמינים) would open soon.

13:37, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, yes talk pages are fixed, all seems stable now... so... איןמינים and שיחת איןמינים ? Is that correct? -- sannse (talk) 21:18, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * yep... 12:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, that's done, please let me know if anything looks wrong -- sannse (talk) 19:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, just wondering, could you rename The Ratchet and Clank Wiki to Lombaxpedia, the Ratchet & Clank wiki. Thanks. KrazyKat 08:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Problem was taken care of.


 * OK, sorry for not getting to it -- sannse (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hello Sannse, I would like to request a checkuser on:

User:Hiwhispees←This appears to be the puppetmaster

User:Nub cheesecake

User:Food spellbook

User:Pastry spellbook

User:HAS-A-PARTY!!!!!←I believe confirmed

User:Hai2uCharlieChaplin←Confirmed

User:Hai2uClowns←Confirmed

User:Player fourm jagex mod

User:Peppermcknight←This one I've not yet blocked since they've yet to vandalize, meaning I can't be positive it's a puppet..

User:THE ALMIGHTY EVIL HEAD←Possibly different account user though I'd like to know if he has any other accounts as with Hiwhispees and his IP range.

User:THE SLIGHTLY EVILER HEAD

The Hiwhispees puppet circle has been particularly sneaky, (he seems to enjoy moving pages, uploading vandalized versions of images, pastries, and vandalizing the media wiki category (this one caused a cupcake with fangs to appear on the runescape wiki's front page.)

Many thanks for your time.--Azaz129 22:05, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Complicated... looks like you have a few characters here. Which doesn't mean they aren't working together of course.
 * Hiwhispees is probably also HAS-A-PARTY!!!!!, Hai2uCharlieChaplin and Hai2uClowns
 * Nub cheesecake is probably also Harrypotterbooks, Player fourm jagex mod, Food spellbook and Pastry spellbook
 * THE ALMIGHTY EVIL HEAD is probably also THE SLIGHTLY EVILER HEAD
 * Peppermcknight seems to have no connection with any other nick
 * As always, I say "probably" because they could be other people on the same ISP (or in Nub cheesecake's case the same IP). But the connections look pretty clear.
 * If this continues, you may be able to catch some of them with range blocks, although they would have to be wide and you may have problems with innocent users being in the same range. Let me know if you want to look at this.
 * Hope this helps -- sannse (talk) 20:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks, to be honest that many actually is what I was expecting (figured there were 3-4 users), it doesn't really surprise me that peppermcknight isn't part of them, also thanks for fixing the RuneScape Clans Wiki.--Azaz129 21:43, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Admin for the RuneScape Clans Wiki
Well the discussion hasn't been going that well. It seems like I'm the one contributing to the discussion. I don't know how we're going to reach a consensus with no one expressing the opinion. I need help. :( Spencemac724 22:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also. I sent a message using the Conatct Wikia form, but I haven't got any messages from anyone about it. It said I wanted a new namespace on the Runescape Clans Wiki called "Clan:article here". --[[User:Spencemac724[[ 00:48, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

While we're on the subject of the RuneScape Clans Wiki, it's incorrectly named. Currently it's named the "Runescape Clans Wiki", it should be the "RuneScape Clans Wiki", Hope you wouldn't mind fixing that.--Azaz129 14:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Spencemac724. looks like the conversation has started, let's give it a little longer and see how it goes :)
 * On your mail about namespaces, Jae replied to that on the 12th... please can you check in you spam folder to see if it got stuck there? He just needs to know that the space is clear for the namespace, that is that there are no articles already called Clan:whatever
 * Azaz129: no problem, I'll fix that now :)
 * -- sannse (talk) 21:07, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks sannse. I think the discussion is doing well. I think the wiki doesn't mind that I have 'crat stutus. It's just we can't decide (for now) who should be a back-up admin for my absence. I'm thinking of 4 at the moment, but I don't know if all 4 could have rights at the same time. I guess we could. What do you think about that? User:Spencemac724 21:39, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the community has decided that I should go ahead and get b 'crat rights. I have selected my admins. I wan wondering if you would give me the rights now? Spencemac724 23:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yep, looks like people are happy with that :) I've set you as admin/bureaucrat. 4 new admins is fine, if that's what suits the wiki.  Just don't forget to keep talking to your community, that's always important in making a happy and successful project.  Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 12:58, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for your help! Spencemac724 02:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, can we switch our skin back to Quartz, we don't like the Monaco skin. It's the Ratchet & Clank wiki. KrazyKat 05:07, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, we aren't supporting Quartz as a default any more - although you can still choose it as a personal skin. What don't you like about Monaco?  Maybe I can help you to customise it to make it better for you? -- sannse (talk) 12:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Audio Engineering Wiki help + request
Hey Sannse, the current admin hasn't been active for 3 years on this wiki (http://audioengineering.wikia.com/), so I'm asking you to take care of a an image for me (as my topic in the help desk sort of went unanswered for a few weeks).

I have a logo for the wiki, but I don't have admin privileges to make it override the default Wikia image.

On a different note, I was wondering how skins work. Is it possible to use http://www.wowwiki.com/'s skin for Horror Film Wiki (the darker scheme would be perfect for it, and small tweaks would be easy). Thanks in advance, --Notmyhandle 09:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've uploaded the logo, looks good! Would you like admin rights there by the way?  I see you've done some work in improving the place...
 * On changing the skin, there is a guide on the help wiki. The short version is, you need to switch to "default" skin in your preferences (choose the "skin" tab and scroll down to the admin choices).  Then you need to edit MediaWiki:Monaco.css
 * There is a second guide to making dark skins at w:c:help:Help:Customizing_Monaco/Dark_skin, which also gives a link to WoWwiki's css page at http://www.wowwiki.com/MediaWiki:Monaco.css
 * You may find it helpful to copy the code from there and then adapt it. Let me know if you need help :) -- sannse (talk) 13:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I could definitely use admin rights at both wikis (Audio Engineering and Horror Film). If I get stuck or something, you'll be the first to hear about it (unless I find relevant help on the help wiki). --Notmyhandle 00:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Bump. I see that I received the privilege update for the Audio Engineering wiki, however I still require sysop rights on the Horror Film Wiki for making css changes. Thank you in advance, --Notmyhandle 05:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, I thought I replied here when I set the rights. The Horror Wiki has had a few editors in the last month, although clearly you've done the most there :) So it would be best to see if you can get the other editors to discuss you becoming the new admin, and maybe others being added too.  Please can you start a page to discuss this?  I can set a sitenotice if that would help get people to the discussion.  Thanks, and sorry for the lost message -- sannse (talk) 12:49, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I've created a discussion at the wiki, but I'm not sure what to expect (I really haven't seen anyone contribute to the wiki in the past three weeks). If you feel that a discussion is required before you can upgrade my user rights, then please set the sitenotice to the community portal. Thanks! Also, it's the Horror Film Wiki, not the Horror Wiki (Encyclopedia of Horror). Big difference =) --Notmyhandle 07:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Form-Z
Hi Sannse,

I need an advice about a recurent vandalism on this page. This is an history link that show the diff of the original and vadanlize version of the page. I've block the IP and i revert it but it's the second time i do that in two days. It's also around the sixth time in the last few months.

Is there a better way to deal with this sort of thing ? Maybe protecting from anon for a few month ? At first the page didn't even exsited so was thinking of reporting it to be blocked from creation but there is a link from another page.

Thanks for any advice. Feel free to reply on my own talk if it feel more apropriate but i'll check back on both. — TulipVorlax 23:25, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yesm I'd say semi-protecting is the best thing. It looks like it's got on a spam-bot's list, so it will probably be spammed every now and then until the list is changed.  Protecting against anon edits should work well. -- sannse (talk) 13:21, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. So that is what i'll do from now on with that type of recurent vandalism where i'm sysop; it's good i dont get a lot of this. — TulipVorlax 20:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Adoption requests
Hello, I'd like to adopt the inactive Nintendo DS Wiki. There's only about 26 articles there, all stubs. Yowuza TALK 2 ME! 13:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello! Could I adopt if possible the Xenosaga Wiki? It is not in the adoption list, but the admin of this wiki didn't edit since a very lon time and there's nearly none edit of done. I started to edit even though I am not fluent in english and do my best for making it easier to navigate, but I cannot add the logo and change some things necessary for the wiki.


 * Thanks you in advance! KOS-MOS Lover (Talk) 16:16, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi both, we have a new page for Wiki adoption requests. Please can you move your requests to there?  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 20:43, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. -- Yowuza TALK 2 ME! 14:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

any time estimate for when there gonna be accepted/declined or is it a play it by ear sort of thing?

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 19:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * We are trying out the new system, and we'll see how it works as we go. I intend to look at the list daily (except when other stuff stops me - like yesterday) but some staff will be specifically responsible for some requests - I'll skip Entertainment ones for example, others will be looking at those.  If it all turns out to be too slow, we'll look again at the idea - the usual wiki experimental way :) -- sannse (talk) 10:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Please talk to the local admins about this. Although trying to get him to ban another user is unlikely to have helped your case. -- sannse (talk) 19:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

You replied to everyone on the wiki adoption bit (including people behind and in front of me) except me!


-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 18:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Semajdraehs, it's just because I don't deal with the entertainment ones :) someone from that team will be along soon to look at your request -- sannse (talk) 18:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

ok thanks, just on a note though, I have a query about the different hubs as i'm not sure which one it should belong to as it is a series of books (plain and simple in the book section), however it was also a three season tv series (could also go in entertainment), so i'm not sure if that would class it into the entertainment hub/category/thing?

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 19:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I had a disscussion on this on the help page and asked about how a job queue works and apparantly its meant to take one job and execute it for every page load, however according to the people on the help desk (and checking myself) it is revealed that all the jobs from the job queue are executed in one go, every so many days (leaving big gaps inbetween jobs being exected), is there a way to set it so 1 job is executed every page load?

p.s woo for living on east coast (lives near Humber)

 * Clacton-on-sea here :)
 * The reason the job queue is only cleared every now and then, is because those tasks are heavy on the servers. Or at least, they are when there are a lot of them.  If a page needs something updated, it will happen as the page is opened (for example if the job is to update the content of a template), but otherwise the updates are queued to happen at quiet times and save resources (which applies to most special page updates).  It's a compromise between good site speed and regular database updates.
 * Sorry it's not the reply you wanted! -- sannse (talk) 21:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Its just sometimes its a bit annoying when you update a template and it doesn't show in certain parts (it took two days for a template change to effect the wanted pages list)

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 10:33, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * the wanted pages list is also cached, and only updates when the same script that runs the job queue is run. --Uberfuzzy 12:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge the Snail's Wiki into the Nature Wiki
Merge the Snail's Wiki into the Nature Wiki please. A desicion has been made here:[http://snails.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Proposal_to_merge_into_the_Nature_Wiki ] where the Snail Wiki's founder and one and only active user has supported the proposed merge. Thank you. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 13:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, the best way to do this is for you to move the content - which you can do via Special:Export and Special:Import. You will also need to copy over the images.  Once you have done this, let me know, and I can redirect the URL.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 13:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, its done. :)--Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 13:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * And it's redirected :) -- sannse (talk) 21:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Having Problems
I'm having some problems editing on all of Wikia. Whenever I press the edit button my computer asks if I want to save a file called "index" or sometimes it says "wikia", etc. I can only seem to press the "leave comment" button.Also whenever there's a heading, on any wiki, it shows numbers from 1 onwards for each heading. And also whenever I go into the edit screen the edit button don't show up. Is this just with me or is this some kind of bug on Wikia. I tries everything, even restarting my computer. Please tell me how I can fix this. Thank you. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 14:27, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Have you had this problem on any other sites? I've not heard any other reports of this so far.  It's always worth clearing your cookies and cache, although I'm not sure it will help in this case.  Does this happen on all pages? or just some.  If it's just some, please can you give me the links of some pages it happens on.  You may need to consider updating your browser, if that's possible.  As it seems to be isolated so far, it may be a problem with that rather than Wikia. -- sannse (talk) 19:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It happens on any page when I press the "Edit this page" button. A file starts to get saved called "index.php". Then inside that file, when I look at it on MS Word, or most of the programs, it contains the following text:

[Process] Type=Edit text Engine=MediaWiki Script=http://nature.wikia.com/index.php Server=http://nature.wikia.com Path= Special namespace=Special

[File] Extension=wiki URL=http://nature.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit&internaledit=true It contains different text when im at different pages, this one is when I tried to edit the main page of the Nature Wiki. And then only when I do use the URL the file has provided to edit can I edit. But it gets annoying to keep having to add the "&internaledit=true" part to the correct URL when I want to edit. Even then my problems continue, such as the edit buttons not appering, etc. All these problems only seem to happen on this account. I tried editing logged out and on another account and it worked okay, but still had a bit of problems. Although, I still need this account as it contains a lot of things that I can't transfer over to a new account. Any idea how I can do someyhing about this? Thanks. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 05:06, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I see what's wrong.  You have "Use external editor by default" selected in your preferences, and so the wiki is trying to export the page to another program for editing.  Please go to your preferences, select the "editing" tab, and uncheck "Use external editor by default".  That should do it. -- sannse (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It worked! Thanks Sannse! --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 16:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Power removal
Hiya sannse. Just requesting removal of sysop powers (not rollback powers, though...I quite like them :P) on Wookieepedia. Thanks, Thefourdotelipsis 02:34, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * All sorted, after discussion on IRC :( -- sannse (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

New namespace
Dear Sannse! We need a new namespace in the Hungarian Spamwiki, called Hírek (in English: news). We collects the news about spams and it can be useful for us. (Please note the character í.) Thank you for your help! --blogadmin 17:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * And can you active the Invite Friends extension, please? --blogadmin 11:26, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, a new namespace is no problem. Can you confirm that the talk pages should be at "Hírek vita"?
 * The "invite friends" extension is on hold at the moment. We are checking on some issues with it, and it will be available again as soon as that's done.  I've put the wiki on the list of people interested in this and similar extensions -- sannse (talk) 15:07, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hírek vita is okay. Thank you, please sign me if it is ready. --blogadmin 17:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That's all done (and a note left on your talk page) -- sannse (talk) 06:17, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! --blogadmin 08:30, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

more problems at eincyclopedia
according to our internet explorer users, the main page at our newest project, einminim, has a problem in which the side bar is below the page it self and the text is very small. RaymondAK-47 15:20, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That sounds like you have a missing &lt;/div> or a faulty table somewhere on the page. If you can give me a link to the page you mean I can try and find it (although I'm mostly away for the next day or so). -- sannse (talk) 15:59, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
