Move of URL
Hi again Sannse. At Spademanns Leksikon we have found that da.uncyclopedia.wikia.com is a long and hard URL - could it be possible to change it to something more simple like spademann.wikia.com? If possible, please do it. Thank you. --Lhademmor 16:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * That can be done, it will fit with most other versions that have unique names. I'll put it on the to-do list.. it may be a while before it gets done though -- Sannse 19:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Btw, several sites have already linked to the old URL, so a redirect would be appropriate, I reckon. --Lhademmor 11:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Help
Hello, The War of the worlds wikia is getting more users! But with increased activity we need an active admin. There are a few articles I would like to delete, because they make no sense. I have contacted the founder of the site, but have received no reply. I suggest that you make me admin so we can secure the site. it is your choice, Iam just saying what I think would help the site more. Thank you for your time.BobafettH23 00:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As it turns out, he made contact with me the yesterday, I just found this out, but we do need an active admin. Thank you for your time. BobafettH23 00:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As he has got in touch, you can toalk to him about this. He has the ability to make you an admin, and it would be better for this to be something you work out between you.  Let him know that you are interested in being an admin, and willing to be around to look after the wiki.  I'm sure you can sort this between the two of you. -- Sannse 08:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Google maps code
Hi Sannse. Thanks very much for getting Google maps enabled over at WikiJET. I'm sure they will be very useful but I'm having a few problems. The major problem is that everything works fine when I'm editing an article and I preview the page, but as soon as I hit the save button the map disappears completely! Check out the Gaucho page.

I'm also having a small problem with the code. On the help page it says that you can get rid of the Map/Satellite/Hybrid controls with the variable selector="no", but I've found this has no effect. Also, I notice there is no align variable to control the positioning of the map on the page. Will I have to put it in a table manually to do that? Thanks for any help you can give, Bobo12345 01:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Bobo. I'm just about to leave for the airport, and will be off line for a while (maybe until Monday, hopefully not that long).  You could ask for help in the Wikia IRC channel or I will look as soon as I get back online.  Sorry about the problems -- Sannse 07:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

After further investigation it seems that the maps are not working when viewed with Firefox, but are ok in Internet Explorer. Has this been reported elsewhere too? Any time you get the chance to answer is fine by the way. Cheers, Bobo12345 09:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been fiddling around with it a bit more and the problem seems a bit strange. It seems that when the code that doesn't seem to show a map on the Gaucho page is copied onto the Playground page, it works. This is the case using Firefox and IE. When viewing the Gaucho page in IE, an error message appears:


 * Line: 57.
 * Char: 762
 * Error: Object expected
 * Code: 0
 * URL: http://jet.wikia.com/wiki/Gaucho

Bobo12345 05:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bobo, it looks like the issue with firefox and google maps is a caching thing. When I visted http://jet.wikia.com/index.php?title=Gaucho&action=purge the map showed up. I'll talk to the guy who wrote the extension to see if he can make it show up more easily. I'll also talk to him about the problems with "selector", I think I may have got the name wrong when I wrote the help page and need to talk to him about what it should be. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for letting me know of the problem! -- Sannse 18:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much Sannse! Purging seems to have solved the problem. Bobo12345 12:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Food wiki
Sannse, I will be back updating my wikis on Monday. Finally, I am free again, Hahaha.

I would like to ask you if I can adopt Food Wiki. At least 20 people already promised to back me up on Food Wiki. These people are from the ESL community I have told you about. They have confirmed to me to be contributors to the Food Wiki, so I said: OK, I will ask for the wiki. One of them (from Germany) is a nutrition expert. Whoa!

So, I would like to adopt the Food Wiki. I will call it: Foodopedia.

Thank you,

--Agus elex 2005 11:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Agus, that's fine :) I've made you admin and bureaucrat there, shout if you need help! -- Sannse 18:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, sannse --Agus elex 2005 17:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Serial Killer Wikia
Hi,

Me and Boris are now the proud owners of a serial killer wikia. For the next week we're basically going to focus on setting it up, rather than adding content; I notice that you're good with logos - any ideas? Please could you reply on my talk page at the serial killer wiki, or email me? Cheers, Dave on Wikipedia, this on Serial Killer Wikia 18:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

P.S. You have a redundant notice on the top of your talk page

Icon help
Sannse, could you make a favicon for the KOTOR Wikia?


 * Hi, I'll give it a go! If you have any ideas of what it should look like, let me know -- Sannse 10:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry I didn't get back to you, anyway, I was thinking of the icon being...well, I don't know. Do you have any suggestions?

Re: Doujin
hi, I've added some description of Doujin on its page, and link this term to en.wikipedia for more details. --KJ_(talk) 04:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks KJ :) -- Sannse 10:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

RSS code display?
Hi, I saw the new features forum and it read "the code is simple - RSS feed failed to load", so I changed it to this - if that's against your intentions sorry! I just thought you'd want to know in case I messed it up. Scott ch 16:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Scottch, that's exactly what I meant :) -- Sannse 17:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Golden Girls wiki
Hey, Thanks for the approval. If you can start it up, that would be great! -- Danchan22


 * And done :) See the request page for more links -- Sannse 19:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Lost message?
I didn't want to clutter your talk page, but you forced my hand :p ―  T  hailog  19:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Thailog, I've replied there -- Sannse 19:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Search

Found this annoying, it doesn't mention that this is a talk page. -- Zanimum 20:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Good find! That certainly needs fixing. Thanks -- Sannse 20:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The "Wikia Highlights" on the main page
Hi Sannse, what's the status of adding my wiki to the main page? You were about to make a redesign on Template:Home/temp. I left you a suggestion on Template talk:Home/temp. Sorry to bother you, but can you please reply so I'll know if there is a problem or if I can help. --Spankart 23:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Spankart. I'm afraid I just haven't had time to work on that.  Bill is now looking at the overall design of the page, and considering whether it needs a radical redesign to make it less text heavy and overwhelming for new users.  But in the mean time, I've changed it around slightly to move two off (that are rather inactive) and add Spanking Art back. -- Sannse 19:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Bot Flat
Hi requesting Bot Flag on w:c:Dofus for user w:c:Dofus:User:CizBot, dont know if its necesary but its a semi-automatic using MWiki-Browser software. --Cizagna (Talk) 15:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, You only need a bot flag if you are going to be making many fast edits that will fill recent changes and annoy other users. The only thing the flag does is to hide edits from showing on recent changes.  So I would say, see how it goes, and if the community finds it too much too quickly, then we an add the flag.  I just need to know the account, and that you have community approval to hide the edits.  -- Sannse 19:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser
Is StarNeptune part of the wikia staff? Why does she have checkuser rights? Alfre Mondad 20:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * StarNeptune is a trusted user who was given checkuser rights on one wiki when that wiki was having particular problems. Things seem calm there now, but as she has been using it so helpfully there, there doesn't seem a reason to remove the rights.  This was a very particular situation, and is not likely to be repeated often, if at all. -- Sannse 19:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Oversight request
Hi, I'm not sure if this is worthy, but can I request that this revision on the Dofus wiki to be oversighted ? It contains an email address that I doubt belonged to the editor.. Cheers. //Peet 20:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The oversight feature is currently off, so I will have to look at this tomorrow. But removing this edit should be no problem. -- Sannse 20:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oversight isn't going to be available for a while, so I've done a manual delete and partial restore. This removes the edit from public view (although admins can still view it).  That should be fine for now -- Sannse 10:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Oversight question
Would it be reasonable to have a number of page revisions oversighted. I have 3 main e-mail addreses. A very old one personal one which I don't want to lose because I use it in so many places. One which I use in my resume and for other work type matters. And one which I give out publicly because it's possible for me to delete if I have a spam issue. I switched my e-mail addreses a while ago, but some old revisions of some of my userpages and the about page at the gaiapedia still have my personal e-mail address in them. Which removes some of the use of editing them into new ones everywhere. The total number of revisions I can count that would need to be changed are:
 * The first 7 on User:Dantman
 * The first 2 on Anime:User:Dantman/Userpage Archives/1
 * The first 1 at w:c:Naruto:User:Dantman/Userpage Archives/1
 * The first 1 at InuYasha:User:Dantman/Userpage Archives/1
 * 12 of the revistions at w:c:gaia:User:Dantman
 * And 13 of the revisions at w:c:gaia:Project:About
 * Is this normaly a reasonable action? 21:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * If you are only trying to hide them from spam bots and search engines, then I would suggest just deleting the revisions. You can do this by deleting the page, and then restoring the pages that are OK.  History won't be seen anyway, but deleting will further remove them so that only admins can see them (and they are unlikely to bother!).  This will be a lot easier than oversighting, which doesn't sound vital in this case -- Sannse 20:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I was considering it morealso for hiding from other users. True that on central and on the gaiapedia it won't be a bother because I'm the only active gaiapedia admin (and it's unlikely we'll get more). Though, there is a strong guarantee that there will be more admins in the future at the animepedia, narutopedia, and inuyasha wiki. And posibly ones which aren't as great as with the simple 1 or 2 admins needed on small wikia. I can delete the ones on The Gaiapedia, but I can't delete the stuff in central. And I'll delete the stuff in the other 3 while I'm waiting for a reply on if oversighting the 4 revisions on the 3 wiki in the WAP could be oversighted as a way to also make it easier to find. 21:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It seems Checkuser isn't available at the moment, so it will have to be deletions. There is no spam risk from deleted edits, and even if another user did search through them for the address, you could block mail from them, so I really think this is enough of a solution in this case.  I'll remove the Central edits, and any others I can still see -- Sannse 10:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see GHe already got the Central ones - thanks GHe -- Sannse 10:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Pirate ads
Hi Lisa, over on the Muppet Wikia site's community portal, there's been discussion that Wikia might consider blocking ads for pirated Muppet merchandise. Would this be something Wikia is willing to do? (Various contributors to the site are supposedly insiders, at least one regular is a Muppet performer.) --  Zanimum 16:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, this is possible. We just need to know exactly which ads (right click to copy the link location, so we know what to remove) and let us know.  However, be warned... other wikis have found that these ads will keep coming back, as fast as we remove one (which can't be instant) another appears.  The other option is to go to graphical ads.  These are more controllable, and less likely to be for problem services.  Some wikis have gone this way already for similar reasons.  See Dofus for an example.  Let me know what the community wants. -- Sannse 20:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Preloadthingy
This should fix the problem of overwriting existing pages on the CreateWiki preloads (as well as resetting the form if you click 'back'). --Splarka (talk) 22:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Splarka, that's great -- Sannse 08:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

A french forum
On the Help:Forums page, they point to you for help about forums. I think my forum did not receive de "standard setup" but since it's a french wikia, all Category must be replace by Catégorie anyway. So, i've copied over all code myself and translated things. But still, something's odd. Some template (modèle in our case) is list as a message in the test forum. What do you think i'm doing wrong ? Here some links : I've just begin adding some forums. The first three are not set up yet. Thanks in advance for your trouble. TůζipVõrζąx 05:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
