Can you revert a deletion?
Can you revert a deletion by a user who appears to be a member here for no other reason than to delete or move other peoples recipes according to her own personal taste rather than the value of the recipes to others? Since I am not paid to post recipes here the benefit I derive for doing so is the ability to point students and others here when a recipe provides a solution for a particular need. I can post on my own site and refer my students there but that would prevent others here from knowing about recipes created specifically by computer to be healthy. Please let me know if you can revert the deletion of a recipe I make referrals to all of the time because it demonstrates for my students the need to handle extremes in addition to the middle. Thanks. --imho 07:06, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Staff do not intervene in local matters except under extenuating circumstances. You'll have to take it up with local admins.


 * The vandal is a "local" administrator if you are referring to healthyrecipes,wikia.com as "local." I have asked the "local" administrator who performed the deletion to revert it but she has refused to comply saying that the recipe is not healthy when in fact it was formulated by computer to match measured expended calories and be within the minimum and maximum required macronutrient (fat, carbohydrate and protein) values. --imho 15:29, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a decision for the admin and their community. You may want to look at other recipes wikis for an alternative -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:40, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Toolbar Glitch
The toolbar is supposed to stop sticking to the bottom of the window and stay above the Spotlights, right? Because, at least on Phineas and Ferb Fanon, it doesn't.

 * At least, Wikis need to be tolerating sockpuppetry because they have to have it just incase something happends. I don't know why they block them but they need to allow sockpuppetry so that there can be more people or any character in here. But theres no way i could change it so there can be a puppet show. Puppet shows get broke if they create more accounts.--TricklesTest 21:37, November 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Each wiki sets it's own sockpuppetry policy. Some roleplaying/fanfiction wikis do indeed allow multiple accounts in order to allow people to do just that --  Random Time  21:41, November 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know just like on tv they sockpuppet on certain shows. Regular wikis can also have sockpuppetry but can it also allow that in the Community Central?--TricklesTest 21:57, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Admin
Hi, Sannse! I've got a request for you.

I know we just got a new admin on Degrassi Wiki, but I really think we should remove ~holiday's admin rights and put Caoil in her spot.

I think he is very much qualified for this role. He made our wiki's emoticons, he is a great help with coding and templates, he is dedicated, and is an amazing admin. He's probably the most qualified person for the position- he also has no sockpuppet accounts, and that I know of, he has never been banned.

Another reason he should be given this is because he is definitely not biased; he has banned his own friends before. He cares a great deal about our wiki and as I said, is dedicated.

If you accept this offer, that would be great! :) However, if you decline, I respect the decision.

Thank you for reading and understanding! Tayler(: A lonely speaker in a conversation. ♬ 23:43, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * We need to revisit admin accounts there again, but let's give it a little longer. Things are feeling more settled, so hopefully we can add another person soon (and possible a b'crat in the not to distant future, if there aren't so many sockpuppet problems!) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:49, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hey (:
Hey Sannse! How are you? The Degrassi Wiki is slowly getting better. Myself and a couple of users are trying to change the wiki. . you know, make it more clean and appropriate and stopping the sockpuppeting! I made a blog on how the users act in a very unruly manner on chat and hope that many users follow me. Lol I feel like a leader. I am going to make this change!

http://degrassi.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Drayden_Montana/Drayden:_GROW_UP

 * I've deleted your post. I understand that you meant well, but it was actually increasing the drama and not reducing it. Yelling at people to "grow up" is not going to help in any way, and adding in all the sexual comments (even as examples) is not helpful either.

Hi I am the Founder of the Enclave wiki http://theenclave.wikia.com/wiki/THE_ENCLAVE_WIKI i belive you are familiar with people from there i am requesting something.When i first started the wiki i made Buerocrats without knowing their power and that i should not have more than one.I like my b crats but i am asking nicely if you can take their B-Crat away so i can leave them admins and have one B-crat..please get back get back to me with your disicion it would be most appreciated.Enclaveoverlord 23:18, November 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks like some of them have been bueaucrats since early September, and have put a lot of work in to the wiki. Wikis are community projects, so it's their wiki as well as yours now. I would say that the best thing is to talk to them. Explain why you think there should be changes, and work out between you what they should be. Then you can let us know what you have worked out via the contact form, and we can look again -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:26, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

 * Do you mean with a spotlight? There's a page on this here that tells you what you need to do. And, of course, you can also do things like talk about the wiki on other sites (although you shouldn't spam of course) especially those that relate to the subject of the wiki. Twitter, Facebook, and other sites can be useful ways of getting the word out too.

Email Confimation
Hello, you may remember the converstion on chat we were having the other day about the WYSIWYG editor, and that I still am awaiting a reply. I case I didn't make it entirely clear what I meant in chat, I changed my email after the staff message was sent. Do I need to re write the message? Thanks, Sam2011 (Talk) 10:50, November 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Sam, I am concerned that the problem may be that your email provider is rejecting our messages. I know there are some issues around verification at the moment, but the email system we use for mail sent via the contact form is separate for that. We replied to the address that was on the form, but it sounds like that didn't get though to you. I think the best thing is for me to ask Sarah to contact you on your wiki on Monday. Alternatively, we can try and resent to the same address, or to send to a new one - whichever you prefer. sorry for the problem! -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:57, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Happy Feet Wiki
Hey, I'm quite new around here, and I just stared to try and help on the Happy Feet Wiki, however I'm not sure how to create a Character Template, so I borrowed the basis of one from the Simpson's Wiki, but I'm not sure if that's morally right, or how to change the colour etc of it. I was wondering if you could teach me how to create a template, and perhaps would you be able to get rid of some of the spam pages on it, because there is pages such as Buy Purina Dog Food, and Drag Queens, etc. Thanks for your time.

HELLO, this is master spectra, you are the staff on bakutech wikia- i had joined bakugan wiki and a few times i got kicked banned the firsttime i misspeled a word and it looked wrong. i returned this weekend (to chating 0 and i was on with a few users after a while i was kickbanned AGAN by someone because i was misspelling words and not using grammer i checked the wikia chat rules and it only speaking of kickbanning when a user is dissobeing the wikia politics and i still got kickbanned. after that i made a new user (2nd ) and joined the chat and said how not cool that was and with a adminastrater there i got kickbanned meaning the adminastrater could of noticed what was going on --- today i made a 3rd one got kickbanned and was accused of sockpuppeting having moar than 2 users there was a link to talk to a adminastrater but i was blocked and could nnnot do this of this is fixable, im tired of it happining pleese tell what you can do. MASTER SPECTRA 21:05, November 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but this is something you need to work out with the admins on the wiki. In general, it's very much considered a bad thing to re-join with a new account when you have been kickbanned. It's better to discuss with the admin on-wiki, and ask about unbanning. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:13, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

About the Trollopolis Wiki
I would like to object to your reasoning of shutting down the Trollopolis wiki. You said that we are about vandalizing other wikis, and this is not true. We are about humor, and we use a trolling theme. It is a wiki about trolling, and for messing around without worry of being blocked - as you would on other wikis. We are in no way wasting other people's time: nobody's time is wasted by editing on the Trollopolis wiki. In no way d we encourage the Trolling/vandalizing of other wikis, just this one. We are also not the first wiki with a vandalism/satire theme. There are other notable ones, such as the UnMarioWiki, the UnEverythingWiki, and the Uncyclopedia. Our wiki is just like those ones. So, pretty much it's here for "If you want to Troll, do it here, where it's fun and harmless; and not degrading to other people's work." Thank you.-- G i o k u talkuser 16:10, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Gioku, There are two main things that worry me. List of Easy to Troll Wikis, which encourages people to troll on several wikis, including South Park Wiki (there may be other pages saying similar). And then there is the theme of "trolling" itself. Trolling doesn't mean "putting random silly stuff on pages where people don't mind", it specifically means "doing things to annoy others and disrupt what they are doing, because we find it fun". The other wikis, like UnMario, are about humor around a topic... and not about how to annoy people. So that's where I am with this. I'm willing to reconsider, but am really concerned about a wiki that encourages trolling in any way -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:28, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * We can remove the said page if that would help. The wiki mostly makes fun of (and/or chronicles) Internet memes.-- G i o k u talkuser 04:20, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Removing that page (and taking great care not to encourage trolling or vandalism of any wiki) would definitely be a help. And, as it's about memes, why not make that the focus instead of "trolling"? Meme City? -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 06:10, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Urgent Matter
Hello Sannse i did not know who else to turn to but it would seem this is my last resort, you see i am a busy member of the Final Fantasy Answers wiki and for some reason we have no active admins there, so people can get away with creating silly questions that should not be up there, i grew tired of useing the delete template on this silly questions just so wikia contributors can remove them, i left a message to one of the admins on the Final Fantasy wiki about this but no one has responded so i have turned to you, if i had the power to remove this silly questions then i would not bother you but it seems i have to, if you can help me out here i would be appreicated, perhaps either you can remove them or grant me some rights to delete this then i would be most appreicated. The Netherealm awaits for you 03:20, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Adopt the wiki--


 * Another way to get them to stop making nonsense questions is to Contact the staff here. Thats why they can take out the silly questions that don't go on there.--TricklesTest 08:24, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * As a matter of effect. I can contact the staff and tell them they are creating bad questions and they'll take care of it and they will block the bad contributors on that answers wiki.--TricklesTest 08:27, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * And i've contacted the staff now. They will be able to take care of the spam and other questions they put on the Final Fantasy Answers wiki.TricklesTest 08:32, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Staff don't deal with 'spam'. That's up to local admins. If it's vandalism, report it on the VSTF wiki. If neither of those options apply, request to adopt the wiki and take care of it yourself like Godisme suggested. Rappy 11:22, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually they can but doing something to wanna take care of spam by himself will have to be tickled by staff and has permissions.--TricklesTest 16:22, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * They can, but they won't. Please listen to the advice here and partake in it. Rappy 18:43, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Guys, I always appreciate your help on this page, but please can you keep the tone a bit more friendly and welcoming? Thanks :)

We've asked the VSTF to look in and see if they can help with the spam. And the suggestion to adopt the wiki is a good one... if that's something you want to do Nemesisx, that seems a good solution :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 06:13, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Sannse,
I, along with many others, have noticed that the Degrassi Wikia could use another admin. I know we just got one, but, we could use another active one. Only two of our admins are active. Caoil would be the perfect admin for our wiki. He is dedicated to the wiki. He is always working on coding and he even made the emoticons for our chat. I know that he's fairly new, but he's done so much in the little time he's been here. Making him an admin would be great for our wiki. He already has plans for what he wants to do. Thank you for reading this and I hope you consider this. (:

Chat issues
Hello Sannse, I don't know if you've seen this but [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:DarkusMaster/Attention,_all_Wikias!!! this blog] is reporting a bunch of chat trolls from the DragonballZ wiki. I think it requires staff attention as it seems to be prolonged and even after Dopp visited their chat to tell them to stop, they kept it up.

Just a head's up for this. I didn't try to get involved much, but I witnessed them openly discussing which wikis they would decide to troll next in their chat, and they don't seem to be willing to stop by themselves. --Callofduty4 13:24, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

SWTOR Wiki Admins
Hello Sannse,

If you remember you came to the SWTOR Wiki to help us discuss our options about moving. All but one of us have to decided to stay. I was wondering if you could remove the admin rights from Heaven's Agent, as he was the one person to leave. Although I hope he left with no ill-intentions, I am still concerned that he may do something at a later time. Thank you, Scimatt16 01:43, November 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Bureaucrats are capable of removing other users' rights, with the exception of other bureaucrat rights. If you need someone's bureaucrat rights removed, you can ask via Special:Contact.
 * It looks like Alexsau1991 is the active Bureaucrat, so he can remove the rights as needed.

CSS Issue on SWTOR Wiki
I do not know if this is the correct place to say this (and if not, i hope that you can direct me to the proper place), but I (with the help of fellow user, Misat0) recently made an addition to the MediaWiki:Common.css on the SW:TOR wiki. This was done in an attempt to make a functional tooltip, similar to the one found on WOWWiki (for items and such). Myself and Misat0 managed to deduced that the issue is most likely that the Site CSS is not updating from the Common.css. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Scimatt16 15:54, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Another users avatar.
Hi Sannse, I would like to request that you change this users avatar, or even delete the account because of the name of it.(If this is within your power of course) The avatar is disgusting and so is the name. I highly doubt this user is going to be a decent contributer and I believe they made the account with the intent to troll, vandalize, and/or disgust other users.

The main page of Atheism Wiki is a bit dull, I'm planning to work on that wiki quite a bit. I wonder if your art team could help improve the main page. Ideally I'd like something that won't look uncool but won't put intellectuals off either. Proxima Centauri 16:00, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, as I repied there: this is something you need to work out with the admins on the wiki. In general, it's very much considered a bad thing to re-join with a new account when you have been kickbanned. It's better to discuss with the admin on-wiki, and ask about unbanning. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:27, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Wrong number of pages and wrong number of images
Sannse, I notice that Indonesian Folktales Wiki displays the wrong number of pages and images. How can there be -2 images? It should be about 33 pages and 11 images by now. This looks bad to display.

Holding a giveaway at the Elder Scrolls Wiki
Hey Sannse!

I'm Zluhcs, an admin over at the Elder Scrolls Wiki.

A couple of weeks ago I bought this videogame called "Orcs Must Die!" on Steam, which is a pretty cool game. I was intending to purchase it as a gift for a friend of mine, but accidentally bought two copies of the game. So, since I was stuck with one extra copy, I thought it would be awesome to have a "Giveaway"-contest on the Elder Scrolls wiki (where I edit), and the winner would receive that extra copy from me. I haven't seen such Giveaways at the Elder Scrolls wiki before, so I thought it would be pretty cool to have one for the first time!

My question is if I am allowed to give away that game. I do not wish to break any copyright-- or any other laws, so I therefore wanted to ask you first :) I have seen such Giveaways at the Fallout Wikia and Call of Duty Wikia, as well as on many other wikias.

I was thinking of asking the community a simple question in order to have a chance of winning, such as "Who is your favorite NPC in Skyrim?", or something of that calibre, and then I and presumably the other admins of the Elder Scrolls wiki would present a winner. I am sure I'd be given the approval by the Elder Scrolls Wiki Bureaucrat to have a contest there, so that's not an issue-- I just want to make sure it is legal.

Since the game is bought through Steam, I believe one must have a Steam account and "activate/register" the game to your Steam account in order to download and play the game.

Hope you can give a fast reply, so that I hopefully can host the giveaway asap :)

If you don't know the answer, I would very much appreciate if you could direct me the right way!

Thanks in advance!


 * Hi Zluhcs, it sounds as though you need to look at Steam's Terms to work that one out. There's certainly not a copyright issue, but I don't know if they have licencing or other terms around the games you buy. A quick look at their help pages makes me think they have ways to let you give games away, but I don't know the details.


 * So I would suggest asking for more information from Steam to be sure (via their support area). Hopefully they can help!


 * And what a great way to help your wiki :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 06:45, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

TacticalWiki
I know some basic functions (like how to delete pages and stuff like that), but how do I set a certain theme to be default for all users on my wiki? --Gamma287 05:18, December 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * The easiest way is to use the Theme Designer. You can find that by clicking "Admin" in the toolbar below, and then looking for the Theme Designer icon. If you want to test anything before adding it to your wiki, you can alway try it out on the test wiki first :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 06:47, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Email
Nope, I didn't get the e-mail. Did you by chance send it using the emailuser special page? Even though I should have a confirmed e-mail address for some reason I haven't been recieving ANY e-mails sent from Wikia's setup. So I don't even get talkpage notifications until the blue moon I decide to login for some reason other than getting a notification e-mail.

Testing
I am not an admin at any wiki, however at some of the wikis I visit I have a greater understanding of the code and potential fixes. This includes CSS and other system messages.

Basically, I don't think this would be possible, but if I could have my own wiki hidden from public where I had admin rights just for personal testing, that'd be cool. Another resolve would be to give me admin rights on one of the wikis I was a bcrat on under my previous account. My previous account was ILHI, and I was bcrat at the Top Trumps Wiki and the TimeSplitters Wiki.

Testing on a public wiki doesn't sound like a good idea, but all gets reverted at the end of the day, and causes less disruption than the testing done by users who have less of a clue than me on a wiki that is actually active.

If you want evidence that my old account is actually me, the email should be "jonnybedford@hotmail.com". Either that or that's the current one I use at this account. I'm not even sure what email I use for that account. Ah, but my email address was added to his userpage by him. That kinda proves it.

Anyway, so what can you do? JBed 00:44, December 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * You can always create your own test wiki by going here. If you don't tell anyone about it, it will be quite hard for anyone to find it. You will be b'crat and can do whatever you'd like to the wiki. I have my own here. Rappy 01:27, December 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, Rappy's solution is a good one :) I mostly use the Community Test Wiki, but if you create a test wiki of your own then you'll have more flexibility (with rights and access and all that). So feel free to create away :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 07:01, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

I can't get the whole SIGNATURE thing to work on that wiki I kept yammering on about. Is it a missing script? It doesn't work on Conservapedia, either. -- 22:02, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

Adopting a channel on IRC
Would you mind making me the channel op of Wikia-lmb ? It is an abandoned channel, originally owned by Bobafett2, who seems to have forgotten about it. I am an admin on the corresponding wiki, the LEGO Message Boards Wiki, http://www.legomessageboards.wikia.com and the two Bureaucrats, Drew1200 and Legobatmankid10, don't even know what IRC is...so please get back to me about this. I probbably won't be checking your talk page, so is it too much work to go to my talk page? http://www.legomessageboards.wikia.com/User%20Talk:BusyCityGuy? Thanks :) -BusyCityGuy


 * To clarify: Sannse cannot directly unregister the channel for you. If I understand the way freenode normally does this, Sannse has to tell them to unregister the channel, and they have to agree to it.
 * Yep, we'll need Freenode's help. If you look for me on IRC (usually evenings San Francisco time) I can help there. Although you may be better off creating a new channel... #wikia-legomb? -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:18, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Answers wiki integration
Sannse,

This became an issue at Final Fantasy Wiki where someone from outside our community created an Answers wiki without our knowledge. Our issue is now solved, but the fact of the matter is we as a community were completely in the dark for months about the existence of the outside site and the subsequent indirect vandalism of our own, which has led to a lot of drama as other users have questioned why we've had the box removed just now as someone has finally gotten control of the thing, which had been abandoned for quite some time.

This is simply a mess for us which could have been dealt with much faster and painlessly if the Answers box had shown up for logged in users. I use Oasis exclusively and am the resident coding admin of the site. I didn't know about this until mere days ago when I found a thread chewing us out for letting the vandalism occur on "our" site.

For the sake of other wikis, if this system is going to continue, logged in users should be able to see the addition to their site so they don't have to deal with the nightmare that my site is now dealing with between the public, our users, the new admins of the Answers wiki, and their users.

Sincerely,

Bluestarultor


 * Hi, thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure it's passed on :) And if you need more help on the wiki with discussions or changes around this issue, please let me know -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:26, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Flagging users as bots
As I fix links on occasions sometimes I am forced to edit forum pages. But I don't like to do this since it bumps topics dead for years to the top. Same thing goes for alerting users of new messages when there isn't any new messages, I've just fixed something.

I set up a new account, Okayybot, in the hope I could test to see if it worked, but I then discovered I can't set the user as a bot.

Is it possible to have a user flagged as a bot? If so, does a user flagged as a bot work any different to a normal user other than being "under the radar"? And would a user have to be flagged as a bot on each wiki individually?

If the answer to the first and third question is yes, could you set the aforementioned user as a bot on jbed.wikia? JBed 01:17, December 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Bots will still bump old threads and alert users on watched pages. The edits simply don't show up in RC or WA when botted. Rappy 01:43, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, well that sux. I have been told otherwise. Ignore the above then. JBed 15:24, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
