Adoption request
bob's Burgers adoption request

Can I have admin rights to this wiki?

bobsburgers.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page


 * Hi. Please place your adoption request on the adoption requests page. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:50, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did. It's been on that page for 2 days and it still haven't been approved.

User:Owner2647|Owner2647 22:42, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

What's taking so long?
This is not a complaint, I'm just asking how much longer I have to wait for my adoption request to be reviewed.

I'm not trying to rush you or anything, but my adoption request have been on Adoption requests page for 3 days and have not been approved. In fact, none of the other adoption requests got approved. Can you tell me what's going on and how often you look at adoption requests?

Again, my wiki is bobsburgers.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. And my adoption request is named "Burgers Page"

Owner2647 18:24, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * The adoption page specifically says that requests may take up to 2 to 3 days, so it's not taking longer than it should for your request. Yes, we're a little behind, but we're working through them as quickly as we can. Please be patient. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:13, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I am still setting up the wiki. I just signed on and made an edit on that wiki. Can I have admin rights now please?

Edit: I just saw your post on the adoption page, I am still working on it but I need admin rights as soon as possible. bobsburgers.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Sorry if this is spam.

Okay, when exactly can I have admin rights?

Before you yell at me, I am sorry for spamming you and rushing you, this wiki just needs administrator.

Owner2647 23:34, January 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry if I come across as blunt, but you're going to have to stop doing this. I will look at the reply you left on the adoptions page tonight, along with many other on hold and new requests. In the meantime, I have to ask you to be patient. Being an administrator requires patience, so it's a good skill to learn now before I give you the rights. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:37, January 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Got it.

Special Contact
Once I put in a request at Special Contact how long should I have to wait for a reply? Dustpelt A Wikia Contributor


 * It varies greatly. Sometimes it is just a few hours, sometimes its a day, sometimes its a couple days.--God (Pray)  21:20, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * On average, it's been around 24 hours lately, as we've added more people into working on RT (Joeyaa and Grunny). It can vary, like Godisme said, and that's due to the nature of whatever's in your message. Simple "please close this wiki" requests are fast, but advanced technical stuff can take a little longer. It looks like for the ticket you sent in, Dustpelts, was answered by Angela last night. Your latest reply only came in a few minutes ago, so Angela should get to it soon (remember to take into account time differences). - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:28, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * You have a very good system here you deserve a lot of credit for what you do. Dustpelt A Wikia Contributor

Something odd
Hey Brandon, thanks for giving me bureaucrat status on City of Wonder wiki. While modifying the main page I noticed this "Retrieved from "http://cityofwonder.wikia.com/wiki/City_of_Wonder_Wiki" " on the bottom of the main page. It's not showing in code/edit view and I can't figure out how to remove it. It doesn't appear to be coming from anything I've put on the page and it's not on any of the other wiki's that I'm bureaucrat for. Any idea how it got there and how to get it off? Your help is GREATLY appreaciated! Thanks. Councellor (talk) 09:38, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I'm not sure. You could try asking on our community forum. Someone there would probably know the answer. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:23, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

What's the deal here mang
I am trying to rush you here, my adoption request has been unanswered for 3 weeks now and has not yet been approved along with everyone else and their sister's girlfriend. Can you please use your witchcraft to speed this process along? -- 21:10, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not a witch. - Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:22, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Brandon Rhea! Im sorry about my block on Community central, Am I now elegible to adopt chopedia? I would be happy to.

This user is not a wikia Helper or Administrator, Just a user who likes helping. Egli nton  <font color="Purple">Talk  Email 23:21, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

DK Wiki

 * The wiki I am talking about is found here. So that is where I want the rights. So can you please give them to me there? Thanks. Slipknot Darkrai 10:26, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Didn't you promise to check my request today or try to?
 * I have been checking into your request. When I have an answer, either tonight or tomorrow, you'll know. =) - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 04:35, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, but please don't forget I have been waiting for eight days!!! Also I replied on your question on deleting the pages. Oh and also by the deleting pages thing I mean that no one is even bothering to cleanup Donkey Kong Wikia and a sysop called Megatron1 says that he wants the NIWA version to be complete and not this one and HavocReaper48 tried to drag everyone out of this wiki and onto the NIWA version and it is their choice on which version they are doing. Also Megatron1 has been telling me that I am a failure and that my edits aren't good, but I couldn't help it and I got better at it and learned to be a better editor. I asked Megatron1 to delete pages I tagged for deletion, but I got zero replies and he ignored me and didn't delete them. So as you see all the sysops have moved to the NIWA version and are ignoring this wiki and reverting vandalism and I am the only one doing so so do you mind deleting the sysops rights first before going to this wiki, except Wiki443566 who is the founder of the wiki and most of the sysops there describe me a failure and I feel hurt that they did that and they call me that due to my bad edits and me not moving to the NIWA version. Thanks and that is why oh and HavocReaper48's rights got removed and that is why I want to adopt this wiki. Thanks and wow this is a long message.
 * I've asked him now to wait...
 * Please leave the update/reply on the adoption page when you get it. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:48, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Tables
Hi. I am user:Iankevinsevilla

I'm a bureaucrat of torchpedia-survivor.wikia.com. It appears that my tables are collapsed (with jagged edges) without my consent. I tried to talk to Ms Manley, but her answer did not help at all. She said it had something to do with the CSS page. She sent me a link that was supposed to help me, but it really didn't. Can you please help me? I need a second opinion. Thank you

Iankevinsevilla 09:17, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm not all that knowledgeable about tables, but if you give me a link to a page with a table I can take a look. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:05, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

http://torchpedia-survivor.wikia.com/wiki/Survivor:_Nicaragua#Voting_History Iankevinsevilla 16:17, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is due to the fixed with in the Wikia skin. Tables that are too big are automatically made smaller so they don't stretch over the page. If you notice in the right hand corner, there's a little button with an arrow there. You can click that to expand it at any time. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:20, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

No. I knew that. What i meant is that, i wanna get rid of it. Ms. Manley said that that was enabled so that the chart does not go beyond the side rail. But i'm ok with it, and i want to disable that, because for me, it looked horrendous..

Do you anybody who can? thanks :D
 * I don't know how to do that, and I don't think you can do it for the entire wiki as that would modify the user interface&mdash;though you can certainly do it in your own personal Wikia.css (Special:MyPage/Wikia.css). I don't know what the CSS for that would be, though, since I'm not really good with coding, but you could post a topic in our Community Central Forum to find out. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:46, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Issue
Sorry if I sound rough, but Barricade123 NEVER has and most likely never will leave a meessage on somebody's talk page or blog post. Proof? Look at his contributions on the site that he's always on:

http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Barricade123 (NOTE: He makes posts, but doesn't leave comments to other users).

More proof? He had an old account, Jhon Henry: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jhon_Henry

To be honset, he only made about one comment on a post - yet all he said was "Whoa!"

I theorize that it will build up in a chain reaction effect in which we will keep asking Barricade to approve us of the rights. Plus, why can't you do it here? What do you mean by that? I thought that Wikia comes to a site to make users Administrators.

Thanks

Starscream7 and Shockwave 56


 * I can't grant you an adoption request if there are active administrators, and Barricade is active. We only go ahead and make people administrators on wikis with active administrators if and when necessary. The only way I can make you an admin is if the community holds a request for adminship lasting at least two weeks and Barricade is told about it. Sorry. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 01:28, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

User rights names.
Hi, could I have some help of how to change the names of user rights or add a new one like (Tech) only on the wiki im talking about, because on the wiki I m talking about, we need more users and we could trust some users to have administrative rights and only be called (Tech users) or something like that.

I think it has something to do with mediawiki, could you send me a link of the page? thank you very much.

Eglinton, January 25, 2011 5:16PM (ET)

Thank you for your help, of anyone, I usually ask Sannse or you for assistance.
 * Is this an additional user right apart from administrator, or do you want all administrators to be called Tech Users? If it's an additional user right, that request needs to be sent to Special:Contact. If it's a renaming of a preexisting user right, I'm not entirely sure how that works, but someone in the forum might know. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:18, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Adoptions page
Hi, I was editing the adoptions page leaving a mesege suggestion for a user, and I don't know what happened but I accidentally made it go all crazy is one section, I hope I won't be blocked for this, sorry :'(

Eglinton, January 25, 2011, 6:01PM (ET)

Sorry..
Sorry if I sound impatient... I will try not to.. But um do I have to be on for this to happen?

Hi Brandon,

I'm not entirely sure who to ask for help with this matter. A couple of months ago you granted me with administrative rights for realitytv.wikia.com. My account is Bobbjob. Since being given rights I have introduced countless templates, files and images in preparation for new articles, some of which I have started and some of which I have saved to the wikia. I had started removing some of the old articles which read more like forums than articles and I created a new homepage.

But I logged on this morning to edit to discover that I had been blocked from editing from Januray 27 until April 27 for spam. I know for a fact that I am responsible for no spam on this wiki. I am the only contributor right now, and I'm the only active administrator. User:Exlex blocked me.

When I attempt to edit, this is what I see:

"You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

Your username or IP address has been blocked.

The blockwas made by Exlex.


 * Reason given: spam


 * Start of block: 0:43, January 27, 2011 (this was when I logged on)


 * Expiry of block: 0:43, April 27, 2011


 * Intended blockee: Bobbjob


 * Block ID: #14892


 * Current IP address: 10.7.10.169

You can contact Exlex or another administrator to discuss the block. Please indicate all details in the above box in any queries you make."

As I had recently deleted a page on the wiki, citing the reason as "spam", I can only assume that I have incorrectly been blocked instead of the only contributer of the article, "I Love Money 2". Do you know if there is any way to correct this so that I can get back to edits? I'm curreently sending this message while on another computer as I am blocked from contacting you or Exlex through my current IP or acount, Bobbjob.

Thanks in advance for any help you could give me or if you could refer me to the correct place for this issue. 80.255.209.231 05:19, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. This issue should be resolved now. Are you still blocked? If so, please leave a message for Charitwo and he should be able to help you out. Thanks! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 20:44, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Admin stuff
Just a quick question. So can I ask to get admin rights for two users(me and another)? Or can I get just bureaucrat rights? Before I request an adoption, I just want to know.Zicoihno 00:00, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sure you can, just make sure both you and your friend are alright with this. ☼Chris☼ ♫ Talk ♫ 20:30, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, you can ask for rights for however many users you'd like. Just be sure to link to where those other users agreed to receive the rights. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 20:41, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I just wanted to know if you Wendy,Grunny,Or Joey don't mind if I help comment to users about if wikis are elegible for adoption? I'm honestly just trying to help. ☼Chris☼ ♫ Talk ♫ 19:56, January 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * We've had some issues as of late where non-Helper replies have been mistaken for official, and there's been a few arguments between requesters and commentors when the requester doesn't like what the non-Helper has to say, so we would prefer it if people only replied to requests when absolutely necessary to avoid confusion. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 20:43, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure which template affects the month, I just started working with them and really don't know that much about them. heres a link to a page that shows the error. http://footbal.wikia.com/wiki/Hal_Erickson see the month of hal's birth does not show up. I can't even begin to figure out what is wrong with the template to fix it. --Robert Alvarez 10:19, January 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yikes, that's above my know how! The best place to ask for that would be on the Central Forum, since I don't know enough about templates to help. Sorry. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:31, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Godisme. Icarlyfan2009 goes looking for trouble that that he could easily avoid. Also he always demands that nobody say anything mean to his because and I quote "Threatening An Actor could get anyone in trouble" its common sense that you should be nice to others, but he mis-uses that right just because he's an actor! Also even if its not an offical wikia rule not deleting talk page messages should be a rule, becasue it would preserve any fights that could possibly prove useful as eveidence. Dustpelt <sup style="font-family:Arial;color:Green">A Wikia Contributor


 * You can use the History button for that. The rule isn't really needed on this wiki. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:22, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi Brandon, I would just like to let you know, another user was also blocked for the same thing. We would appreciate the block to stay intact.

 * If you adopted a wiki, you are given administrator rights. Admins already have the ability to rollback, so rollback rights for an admin is not needed. -- 23:59, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Admin status
Hello- I left a message about a month ago, and I haven't heard anything back. I really need my Admin status back on the True Blood page... Bureaucrat would be ideal, but right now I at least need my Admin status back. The show will be starting soon, and more and more people have been stopping by to edit. I'm still the only admin that is on the page, and we have no bureaucrat (the scourge has never replied to me). Please take all my efforts on the page and time I've been there into consideration, I'm just getting kind of disappointed in all of this... especially after all I've done.

Oops, didn't notice. You can message them, and they will say they are all for it (you can see the back log when I was first made Admin, and they gave a good voice of recommendation for me :) They know how hard I work on the page. You can also message Babyjabba in the wikia staff, I'm sure she'll put in a good word for me. We've worked together to keep the Wiki updated, however I know her time is really tied up now. Also, I haven't seen Epacha or XD1 in awhile.. minus a blog XD1 left yesterday..but that is about it. Thanks for your time. Buffymybasset 17:05, March 12, 2011 (UTC) Nevermind.. I've been dealing with this for months- I can't devote anymore time to this. Too aggravating. Buffymybasset-- 17:17, March 14, 2011 (UTC) I understand...but as you can see I have tried reaching them, and they are not active like you think. XD1 is wikia staff, I assume he is busy.. and Ehpacha doesn't reply. I will message him one more time, and I told wikia staff member Babyjabba I will help with 2 more comic book pages, but I think that will be it for me. Thanks anyway. Buffmybasset-- 17:31, March 14, 2011 (UTC) I have another user on TB Wiki who wants my rights returned... he mentioned maybe having a vote? Would that work since I cannot reach fellow Admins or the Bureaucrat? buffymybasset 22:20, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll try to reach them. That is the whole reason I had to come here though. They said they can't do anything... you said you can't do anything... no one can apparently do anything. I think I just might give up. user:Buffymybasset 17:01, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're misunderstanding me. I'm not telling you to ask them to give you rights. I'm telling you that I need to see that they approve of you becoming an administrator so I can give you the rights. I can't give you these rights unless the other admins on the wiki are on board with it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:07, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * If that's what you choose then that's your choice, but please be aware that, at the end of the day, we don't even usually handle these types of requests on the adoption page because there are active admins. I made an exception because of the circumstances surrounding your request, but that doesn't mean I can give you the rights without knowing the other admins are on board with it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:25, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand that as well, but going by the 60 day rule, they are active so I can't give you rights until such a time when they're not actually active. That said, XD1 is a staff member, so XD does have the ability to give you rights. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:42, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Request
Brandon, I am requesting you unblock me on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. I add a message, you delete it, I confront you about taking away my free speech in a civil manner, and you block me, just because you can. No offense intended, but Admins shouldn't go that low. Administrator rights are not a "Do whatever you want and get away with it" badge. They are extra buttons given to someone because they are being thought as someone who will use them properly. Anyways, my point is, please unblock me, and stop deleting my comments. They are suggestions, they are facts that say someone is plagiarizing. They are not bad faith.--<span style="-moz-border-radius-topleft:15px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:15px; border:4px ridge blue; background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(blue), to(black)); ;background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(left, blue, black); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; background-color:black"> Shade  05:18, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

The Charmed Wiki
Good afternoon Brandon, Mr. Grille suggested contacting you about an issue I have with the current "manager" of the charmed wiki (charmed.wikia.com). A couple days ago I was minding my own business editing on the wiki, then I went to edit an article and I saw that User:KhanWiz blocked me, the reason being a "cool off block". he says I argue on the wiki creating drama. This block was initially for a week, but then because of something I said on an entirely different website that has nothing to do with wikia, another manager on the Charmed wiki extended the block for 1 month. The two managers on the wiki simply state I cause arguments; that is not true. When Khan and user:LeonardoWyatt choose to do something on the wiki, I merely suggest that the wiki is a community and decisions should be made as a team, not just amongst one or two people. I asked for the block to be lifted, they refuse, stating I am the cause of the wiki becoming less popular amongst users, again that is not the case. Every single other person I have contacted have said to discuss this on the talk pages on the wiki, but then the minute I do that, I am accused of starting drama. it seems khan and leonardowyatt are simply running away from the issue instead of trying to resolve it. Every single person on the wiki has argued at one time or another including both managers. Recently a user changed plural articles to singular, ie) Banshees to Banshee, he continued to do this with all articles that were plural. i suggested a vote takes place, then I started a blog to see what the entire charmed wiki community has to say. I was reviewing the votes and noticed two users who have never edited before on the wiki voted singular, in favor of what leonardowyatt and user:PerryPeverell wanted. I stated the votes will not count because the two users have never contributed in any way to the wiki; as another user stated as well "why should editors who aren't part of the community or ever contributed to the wiki be able to decide what happens in the community?" Khan and leonardo were directly against my viewpoint saying the views will count, i explained they shouldn't and then I was accused of arguing, every single comment that goes against what Khan or Leonardo want is considered arguing. Anyway I am dragging this on, in short, the block is totally unjust and uncalled for; it is just a way to get me not to edit on the wiki, Khan and LeonardoWyatt can dress it up however they want but what they say does not hold any fact, everything they accuse me of, they have done themselves as well. Can you lift the block? For more detail, you can look at the history of the Charmed Wiki, my username is HalliwellManorAkaDsc385. Also, information about this topic has been discussed on Wendy's page as well at User:Merrystar. Thanks for your time. :)

 * I'm sorry you were blocked. Unfortunately, we don't usually get involved in local wiki blocks, as that's primarily a local issue. You could try contacting another administrator, otherwise the best thing I can suggest is to wait the block out or edit on another Charmed wiki. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:49, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Removing bureaucrat rights
A while back, the wiki I work on -- The Sims Wiki -- adopted a policy requiring that administrators remain active on the wiki to retain their position. Since bureaucrats obviously can't remove bureaucrat status from other bureaucrats, we haven't been able to enforce this policy on bureaucrats themselves. This is important because we have several bureaucrats that are completely inactive; some have been gone for multiple years; and yet people still sometimes think that they are still around, even though we have lists of bureaucrats that demarcate whether or not a bureaucrat is active or not.

So, I'd like to know what we should do, whom we should talk to, etc. to get the bureaucrat status for these users removed. I'd be willing to start a community discussion about it and to try and contact these people to make sure they are aware (in case they check in intermittently). What steps should I take before I formally ask to get these rights revoked (only for the inactive bureaucrats, not for the active ones)? Thanks --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 06:19, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Personally I would encourage your community to get rid of that rule, seen as how inactive admins don't hurt anyone so long as there are active admins around too. That said, since that's not what you were asking (even though I do still encourage it), I would let those people know about it and start a community discussion about it as well. In that community discussion, you should also make it clear that it's a consensus vote&mdash;essentially a request for removal of user rights for these individuals. That way the community has a say on whether or not they actually want the rights of these individuals to be removed. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 06:22, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
