no active admins
I was looking through the user lists for | 3rd rock from the sun wiki and i noticed that there are no active admins (from what i noticed). I had wanted to create my own 3rd rock wiki before i noticed this one, soooo, (you probably see where this is going) i was wondering if i could be an admin (or beuracrat). i had several ideas for this wiki as well, including a logo, projects, rules etc... obviously you ill want me to be more active before you were to hand me the reigns (if you are going to) so whatever you say. please get back to me.-- (Have something to say?) 01:38, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Sw9889! Thanks for your interest in the wiki. You can put in an adoption request whenever you'd like. As we go through the list of requests, either Merrystar or I will take a look at your request and see if you meet the requirements. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:22, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, let's see.
Right, firstly, don't treat me like a child and give me a stupid reply that doesn't even answer what I am saying to you. Okay, let's see, since showing us the new layout, you HAVE to admit that like 98% of people HATE it. And then you comment, 'Oh, yes, but some people have been positive'. Why are you listening to them!!! That is like 2% of the people on wikia. Give me an honest reason why you are just blatantly ignoring the facts and going with the 2% of people. P.S. any admins can answer this. I want to know why you are ignoring the facts. Julietfan2626 13:10, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

And what do you gain from removing the shoutbox... nothing... so keep it. Julietfan2626 16:40, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Keep the ShoutBox!
please keep the shout box its an awesome feature!

Hi
Hi! I'm sorry to bother on your talk page, but I couldn't find the page I needed. The thing is, I need to delete a wiki. It' the bully spanish wiki. I wanted to delete it because I started it, but then I realized I was really busy on another wiki! I'm sorry, I should've thought about that before I started the Wiki. I don't want to abandon it, but if that's what I should do then I will. I'm sorry for bothering, but I just needed some help. Here's the link: The Wiki. Thanks, Jenny Vincent ♣ 20:44, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, it's fine to just leave it. It will mean that someone else can adopt it if they want to :)  That's the best solution if you don't want to edit there yourself.  Good luck with your other wiki! -- sannse (help forum | blog) 23:26, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Extension Request
Hello. My name is Habatchii and I needed to make an extension request. Wikipedia has an extension called, "Collection" which apparently needs another extension, the "PDF Handler" and maybe one or two others. I would like to have it on all of MY wikis if possible, if not Wikia-Wide. Please help on this matter...

Habatchii 17:39, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, we need to get our technical team to check out all new extensions, so it may take a while... But you are welcome to send the details to us via Special:Contact. Please include a link to the wikimedia pages for the exact extensions you mean.  If they are aproved, we can get them on your wiki -- sannse (help forum | blog) 20:49, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

A couple of matters at nonsensopedia.
Hi

I,ve just sent on special contacy request for calling on of our bureaucrats away (Hani.md) due to inactivity. The case was not solved by TOR, although he was asking for it. We are waiting almost 3 weeks and don't want what to do. Hani.md was his activity was judged by us as unsatisfied (RFC and voting of deprive him his rights). We request for call him away and wait for necessary steps on Wikia Staff side, because the matter has come dragged out.

With best regardds

Steam wikia
Hi,

I found a wikia for steam and it seem like the owner has abbandoned it. So do you know how i could help it, like some stuff i can't seem to touch and the owner hasn't touched it for nearly 1 year. So what im asking is that, is there a chance wikia can make me an admin solely to improve it. Something like this wikia could help people more than the steam forums.

 * Hi, they can be, but they generally don't need to be :) you can just leave them, and then if anyone wants to adopt them in the future they can apply to do that -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:28, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Request
Why dosen't anybody answer my wikia adoption request its been 3 daysPoky7774 22:17, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Just thought I'd show you this.
Here's an edit summary a user made on my userpage over at the Borderlands Wikia. [http://borderlands.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:AtlasSoldier&oldid=144342 Here's the revision he made, it was basically reverting my edit that I made. I had removed the nasty messages he left on my page, and he's reverted my edit twice now]. As for the edit summary, this is what he wrote: "Undo revision 144325 by AtlasSoldier (talk) I believe you. I thought maybe you were busy with Mod duties on the Child Molestation Wiki"

I do not at all find this edit summary funny, and I know you won't find it funny either. I don't want any drastic action taken, as he's just being a troll, so maybe a little talking to might be in order. I'll admit right now I haven't exactly been the most courteous Wiki-user, and I have said some things that were out of line to this user, and others, but they have also said some nasty things to me as well. Hence why I have currently decided to take a Wikibreak from the Borderlands Wiki. Thank you for taking the time to read this. AtlasSoldier 21:56, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's best that this sort of dispute is dealt with by the wiki's admins. Although, of course, both keeping it civil on your side and ignoring trolls are always good things to do :) -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:31, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Help
Hello there! I was wondering why I made a page for the Zoey 101 wiki, for couples, it's going to be deleted...? But I don't know why, and I worked very hard on those pages .... Here is the link : PLease help me keep this page :) Thank you for your time! :D -

--PrincessPuckett 18:32, September 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, the deletion template was added by Wiiboy4ever, so it's best to ask him or the wiki's admins about this. Each wiki has it's own rules about what content should be in the wiki, so they will know best about the situation. -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:33, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Studies done
When wikipedia created a new look, in addition to allowing veteran editors to revert to the old style, they had actual studies done.

http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability,_Experience,_and_Evaluation_Study

Has there been any studies done on the new wikia look?

Thank you,

Anno1404 00:36, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Yes, we've done both user testing and focus groups as part of the work on the new look.  That's been mentioned on the blogs a few times :)  There will be more of that in the future too -- sannse (help forum | blog) 18:59, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Searching for blog comments
Hi. I made a comment at this blog post:
 * User blog:Sannse/Your First Look at the New Wikia

This search finds it.

But clicking the link does not take one to the comment page containing my comment. How does one find past comments and replies in long blog comment threads?

The blog comments are not dated, and so it is next to impossible in a long thread. I tried clicking page after page, and doing calendar calculations, but it is too difficult. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:59, September 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a tricky one... currently you can click the date on contributions or recent changes to go directly to the comment page, but that doesn't show you the comment in context. My preference is for us to add anchoring, so that clicking the comment link takes you to the specific comment within the thread.  I'm talking to the people working on the feature about this possibility (among other tweaks) but I don't know if that idea will be taken up yet -- sannse (help forum | blog) 19:02, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

(unindent) Thanks. The search pulls up this link:
 * http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog_comment%3ASannse/Your_First_Look_at_the_New_Wikia/Timeshifter-20100817232230

Special:Contributions/Timeshifter pulls up this link:
 * http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog_comment:Sannse/Your_First_Look_at_the_New_Wikia/@comment-Timeshifter-20100817232230

As you said neither one takes me to the specific blog comment page to see the comment and replies (if any) in context. I suggest using true dates for blog comments. At least then one could look at the date embedded in the above URLs:
 * 2010-08-17 232230

and then narrow down the pages where the blog comment is found. Anchoring is a good idea. I don't the technicalities though. I know that talk-page section watchlisting has long been requested on Wikipedia. --Timeshifter (talk) 08:15, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Could I take over the Entrepreneur.wikia.com
Hi, There is a 1 page wiki done 7 months ago that needs a new owner. Can I get that? See: http://Entrepreneur.wikia.com.

I'm doing an open source business plan for someone now. It would make sense to have us run with that wiki. It would still be a fully public anyone can edit wiki. We'd just use it for lots of new open source content that is about business and being an entrepreneur.

I've never done a 'take over' of an existing namespace in the past. Thanks. Rauterkus 18:38, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Who should i go to if i wanted to set up forums on my wiki?-- (Have something to say?) 14:59, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Themes are gone
The themes are gone from the Monaco and Answers skins. Since you usually announce these changes, and there wasn't anything on admin talkpages, staff blogs or central froum, may I assume this is an unintended glitch? -- ◄mendel► 19:20, September 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Themes still exist as admin choices, and you can still change the look via your personal CSS pages. This is part of the transition towards the new look.  Sorry for the missed annoucement -- my fault, I was confused about when this aspect was going live.  -- sannse (help forum | blog) 04:13, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Is beta over?
I applied for beta back in August and you accepted me, but I don't have that access email yet. Was I too late? Please reply.


 * It's still going, alongside the public beta announced this week. If you haven't had your invite yet, you should do so tomorrow :) -- sannse (help forum | blog) 04:14, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Banning
I was banned from Microwiki because my friends used my email so they would not get all of those updates. I think the Admin, Cajak, blocked me only because he did not belive in the pags I created. I think it is not fair that he can block me. I did nothing wrong. Rsmall1413 00:57, September 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Admins can't see your email address. But I can see more details - including your IP.  It looks to me as though they were correct in thinking you were using multiple accounts.  I suggest you move on and don't do that wherever you choose to edit next. -- sannse (help forum | blog) 04:19, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia's new look - request
Hello, Sannse. :)

Before I begin, I believe I can fairly say I represent the Fallout modding wiki project (falloutmods.wikia.com), being one of three, and the most active bureacrats there. I would like to request two things from wikia:


 * One: please DO NOT apply the new beta skin to this wiki. The effects upon the users who regularyly use will be harsh, considering most are rarely on it. In fact, most users are from foreign countries, and their English is improving, but still poor. Editing the wiki for them is, well, not an easy task. I constantly have to clean up most of the files uploaded, categorize everything myself, manage all of the templates / categories / forums myself, and I'm not intentionally trying to sound like I dislike the work. I enjoy contributing to the wiki almost daily, but I simply don't like the idea of changing the entire layout of the website, making it harder to use for some of the still-learning users.


 * Also, this will eventually lead me to have a large job re-working the whole wiki's templates, because the changes will require it. I implore you to consider this, reply, and take this to wikia.


 * Two: I would like to request the removal of the Rich Text Editor from this wiki. I believe it was quite recently that the Vault, or the Fallout wiki (fallout.wikia.com) petitioned for it's removal, and was thus granted the notion. The relevance to my wiki? We are sister wiki's, and I believe what can be done for the Vault can be done for Vault-Tec Labs, albeit the major difference in regular contributions between the two.


 * Please, all of this is in order to ensure that the wiki continues to be usable and easily accessible to the general crowd of users it attracts.

On this, have a nice day :)

Oasis input
Hey Sannse, I'm the admin for the Appleseed Wikia, and although I'm not a big fan of Oasis, I don't find it as terrible as some people do (although that's probably cause I haven't invested time and effort into customizing my common.css file like the others have).

My two biggest complaints over the change, please take this to heart, is the loss of the Sidebar, and the narrowness of the layout.


 * Having a proper menu makes your wikia seem like a full-fledged website, and when organized properly makes all the major content easily accessible. I know a lot of wikis don't really use the Sidebar properly, but please take a look at mine; after Oasis comes, I have no idea how I'm gonna cram all those categories into the rigid, four menus/seven entries concept that's coming. It would be bearable if we at least had pop-up submenus within, but that's not so great either. Please, let's at least keep the Sidebar unchanged, or replace it with something similar, with a vertical layout and submenus.


 * The narrow width of the articles makes it impossible to achieve an enclopedia-style look, and if you have 16:9 images on the site (even small thumbnails), they virtually span the whole article - not a good look.


 * Also, can we get a bigger site logo space (and without the Random Page and Wiki Activity buttons barging in?) It's gonna be impossible to make anything unique fit in there ; )

Lastly, can my site be added to the beta testing program before it ends in a few days? I'd like to do some experimenting.

Thanks, Moonraker-6 22:32, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding the New Skin
It's stupid. I'm sorry to bother you about this, but I have to take a direct approach. It's driving me insane. THE NEW SKIN IS STUPID. And, as a tip from me to you, many people are going to leave unless you at least make it optional. Please don't lie to us, we know you're not listening. I cannot believe that you're forcing this new skin on us. 99% of Wikia's users hate the new skin. And you call yourself a community site? I think not.

Look, I'm sorry if this sounds harsh. I'm in an incredibly bad mood today and I'm fed up with your staff not listening to us. Read the comments on the recent blog post and you'll understand where I'm coming from.

Dead Space Wiki- No Active Bureaucrats
Hello, I am a Sysop from the Dead Space wiki and I would like to ask for your assistance in a matter of some importance: It appears that all of our Admins excluding myself, including all of our Bureaucrats, have become inactive and have been so for quite some time. I have heard nothing from any of these fellows and have become quite concerned for the wiki given this lack of Admins. As such, to ensure our wiki can continue to grow should none of the Bureaucrats return, I am formally requesting Bureaucrat status to make certain that the wiki can continue running smoothly. I apologize if I seem forward or the like, but I have stuck with the Dead Space wiki day by day since I joined and would hate to see it fall into disrepair; if you could assist us in the matter, the wiki, and myself, would be most grateful to you.

Thank you for your time,

 * Ah, I forgot to add this in the Main post, I apologize, I'm rather busy:


 * The reason I did not go through the Wiki Adoption is that I believe, given we are a very active wiki, this would act as a unique case and has more to do with ensuring there is a functioning admin staff then resurrecting a dead wiki. -- Haegemonia ( talk ) 12:58, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
