Wookieepedia block
Hello, Grunny! I'm PacBoyCraZ and I was an editor to Wookieepedia at one point, sometimes months ago. When I first joined Wikia, I was confused and I thought I was supposed to create a new account for each wiki. Since August, I had know not to. I made an accoutn called "KashyyykPartyWookiee!" and it was blocked for asking Toprawa and Ralltiir questions of what to do (because as you know, you do a good job and the wiki is full!). Anyways, I signed in as myself, PacBoyCraZ, and on T and R's talk, I said "KashyykPartyWookiee! is inactive" meaning I am no longer using the account. Because of this, I was blocked indefinatly. I think that my block should be over because I think I did nothing wrong, and I only edited three times there anyways. Can you please undo my block? You may need to talk to the admins first. -- Tommy  ( My Talk Page ) 00:04, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you, sir. I'll talk to him, but I'm not sure if he's on Wikia central, if he's not then I have no way of contacting him. Anyways, I've planned some great edits for when I come back and I promise I will be more respectful in my return! Cheers to you, too, -- Tommy  ( My Talk Page ) 01:53, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi again, Grunny! Has Darth Culator been active lately on Wookieepedia or any other wiki's he is usually active on? I messaged him here a while back and he has not spoken to me since. Perhaps I'll ask T and R and see if he can contact him. --PBCZ!!! are YOU talkin' to me? My Stuff 01:26, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia...'n'many more
Hi Grunny! I want to know why you'v deleted this page, and all other pages for other wikis. Mr. Floyd 16:33, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Answered on the user's talk page. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:48, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Star Wars Fanon blue box page
Hey Grunny, do you think you could get me the deleted content from the community central Star Wars Fanon blue box page? That'd be great if you could send it to me, either on my talk page, here, or via e-mail. Whatever's more convenient for you. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:58, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, Brandon. I've put it in a pastebin for you here. --20:11, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:59, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Museums
Hi Grunny, you deleted Museums, and I don't know what blue box pages means. Would it be appropriate to recreate the page to refer to the MuseumsWiki? Best, --ThT • talk • 16:08, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The blue box pages - pages that list wikis - have been made redundant by Central search, which searches for content from individual wikis. Thus, they shouldn't be recreated. You can list your wiki at a hub, for you probably Hub:History, however. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 22:29, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

JS Advice
Hi, I was recommended to you for some JS counsel. I am trying to integrate this code: http://pastebin.com/mb937141 with Twitter2 towards the bottom here, and failing: Any help is appreciated. -- LordTBT Talk! 20:32, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Dynamic IP address vandals
Hi. I notice you stepped in over at The Vault to undo some malicious edits by. In case you didn't notice, that user has been cycling rapidly through IP addresses in order to vandalize us more effectively :p. Are there any good methods for dealing with such a thing? Banning each IP address as it comes up just seems to encourage him. Thanks.--Gothemasticator 09:54, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I suspected as much. At this time we're not interested in restricting unregistered users en masse. We do see a lot of vandalism, but it is generally short-lived per user. Let's hope this guy gets bored soon. Thanks again.--Gothemasticator 10:10, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well deserved barnstar
Hello, I intended to give you a barnstar for your much appreciated assistance in the help forums, but I can't create template pages here, nor can I upload images.

So the best I can do is this:
 * Thanks :-). Grunny  ( talk ) 21:28, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you
Apparently I've been blacklisted on #cvn-wikia. I'm not sure what could have caused it - could you look into this, and if nothing's caused it, remove the blacklisting? S-984 20:06, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * You were blacklisted automatically by the bot because you were blocked on haloideas. I have now removed you from the blacklist. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 21:30, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wookiepedian Problem Admin
Hello Grunny its nice to talking to you again. I am sad to say that I am in need of your help with an admin. I am in the wrong also but I am shocked by the reasons for my block. You see a user called Chack Jadson has blocked me for "Trolling" I assure you that if I harrased anyone I had no intesion to (Sorry about my bad grammar) He gave me one warning about spamming with user talk without sending me a link to the rules to show that what I was indeed spamming. I looked at his user page and it had no evidence of him being an admin. So I presumed he wasn't admin but a troll trying to control me. So I said this:

''How is that spamming? Learn the definition I am annoyed of you... What am I doing wrong? If it was spam I would be defacing the talk pages writing random gibberish. Are you an admin? NO! So quit acting like one. If you it spam give me a link to the rules stating that doing what I am is not allowed then I will stop but considering that you didn't I am sorry but I will continue until I am done contacting every person. I will also leave a discussion for people to look at in the future but I highly doubt that people will see that this exists...... *-_- Kajalamorth 22:34, July 17, 2010 (UTC)''

I know what I said was rude but I felt like I was being bullied. He then blocked me instantly for trolling and wrote this on my user page which felt that he was looking for reasons to bloke here is the block message:

'' You have been blocked from editing for 2 weeks for spamming and being rude. Your attitude is disturbing. Instead of simply saying "yes, I'll stop," you insulted me and refused to heed my warning. To contest this block, please contact the blocking administrator with the reason you believe the block is unjustified. Sincerely, administrator Chack Jadson(Talk) 22:40, July 17, 2010 (UTC)''

He wrote on my block adivsery thing. But on my message for spamming and being "rude". I am sorry but that is not a reason for blocking someone from a wiki. Neither it is his right as an admin to say my attitude disturbing. If I had a temper and less mature I would went on another computer sockpuppetted and started massive flame war. But I am more mature then that. I then contacted him on IRC I queud it mannaged to get him. So he was there but he was ignoring me. So I told him that I would contact community wikia special:contact which didn't work because they said it wasn't anything bad. He simply just told me to wait or go to another wiki. But I am sorry but I will not take this harrasment from ANYONE.

Could you please do something about this. I do not want a shortened block. I think this whole commotion could have been avoided if it said he was an admin on his user page and he gave me a link to the rules like I asked him too. I didn't nicely but I highly doubt that these reasons are not sufficient for a block. He gave me one warning with no proof he was what he was saying he was. So could you please talk to the other bureaucrates about this issue.

It seems that you guys are having trouble with other admins also. I probably am going to leave Wookiepedia and I am dissappointed that I need to leave because of someone who is obviously much older then me and is harrasing me because he has more power then me. Thank you. Good day to you. Kajalamorth 16:43, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry it was a misunderstanding. Kajalamorth 16:59, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

JS problems again
Do you know why whenever I add more than two custom buttons in either the Wikia.js or Common.js the title rewrite template stops working? It happens everytime I try to add more than two custom buttons. Once I undo it, the template works again. Thanks, SSgtGriffin on Facebook 18:10, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * When you added the other buttons you had an error. When putting things with quotation marks within quotation marks in JS, you need to escape them. So when you added  you need to put \ infront of the " within the tags. i.e.   and the same for.
 * That should fix it. Let me know if there are still issues. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 23:41, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah. Thanks. SSgtGriffin Htmlcss-toolbar.gif on Facebook 22:20, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Turok wikia
I don't know if your the right place to bring this up... but on at the Turok wikia, is this vandalism or spam and if so, could you or someone do something about this? If that's not vandalism or spam and if you can't do anything about it... then I'm sorry I bothered you.Wwwhttp (talk)
 * Hi Wwwhttp. That doesn't look like spam or vandalism, rather a user simply creating content about something they made. While it may not be worth an article on that Wiki, the user seems to mean well so it's better to simply leave a note on the user's talk page explaining what content is appropriate for articles on the wiki. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 08:16, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Bot request
This is a copy/paste of a previous request that got no reply, so I hope you have time.

For my request, I wanted a mass title on a bunch of articles. If possible, suppress all redirects. I hope its a good qualifier, I haven't seen other wikis do this, but I have to keep track of the pages somehow. Do you have an alternative suggestion? Thanks in advance. -- Bunai82 (talk) 19:43, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * The articles in this section need a qualifier - w:c:gaia:Category:Sponsorships.
 * Excluding - "Sponsorship Items", "MTV sponsorship", "Virtual Hollywood".
 * The qualifier - sponsor: (no gap between the title and qualifier) sponsor:Example
 * Hi Bunai. I can certainly move all those pages with my bot for you. One thing I can suggest is to consider whether you would prefer a new namespace created for "Sponsor:". If so, you can request it at Special:Contact. In the mean time, just checking, you want all pages except the three mentioned to, for example, Sponsor:Harry Potter? Though, if you want a new namespace created for it, you should wait for that process to be completed before moving the pages. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 21:21, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the reply. And no, this is not about a namespace to the main menu, just a title for the pages so they can be sorted without interfering with other searches. But since you brought it up, what would this option do? Since I didn't create the wiki (just adopted it in 09), does the namespace in the menu effect how the wikis function? And how many can you request be placed there? -- Bunai82 (talk) 05:28, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Adding a namespace for it wouldn't affect too much, it would just add the option to view all pages in the namespace under Special:AllPages and Special:PrefixIndex, would allow the talk pages for the Sponsor pages to be "Sponsor talk:Example" rather than "Talk:Sponsor:Example" and so forth. For what you want to do a new namespace isn't really necessary but it's an option you have. If you do decide to make it a namespace, you can request it through Special:Contact. Let me know if you just want the pages moved to "Sponsor:Example" rather than adding a namespace, and I'll get my bot to do it for you. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 05:54, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for explaining, I'll say the pages are low priority in a sense and will not do a namespace. I will likely try to redirect the sponsor talk pages to the main sponsorship talk category, since these pages are not talked about much in the first place and if they are, then one talk page would work best for all. So the bot moving can be done ^_^ excluding the following three mentioned.
 * Though I do wish I had known how that namespace thing worked before I moved some of the Map pages to different qualifiers ^_^;;. Can that namespace request be done even though the pages were manually moved some time ago? -- Bunai82 (talk) 20:47, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll set the bot to move the pages tonight. When requesting a new namespace be created, you need to ensure that no articles currently start with the namespace name, otherwise they may become inaccessible when it is made a namespace. If you have already moved certain pages so they have the namespace at the start of their title, you can move them temporarily to a slightly different name and then revert them back to the new namespace name once it has been created (a bit of work, but not too bad if you get a bot to do it). Hope that helps. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 03:04, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * The pages have been moved. :) Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 00:05, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Dystopia
the page for Dystopias and Dystopia needs to be recreated, can you unblock? GLACIS Jan. 10, 2011
 * Hi GLACIS, All of the pages on individual Wikis were deleted as part of the community central redesign last year and are not being re-created. You can find out more about that redesign here. Let me know if you need any help. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 23:52, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Adoption
Hey, Grunny, I've editing the Smackdown vs Raw wiki for quite some time now, and I feel like I should be a admin in that wiki. So I'm asking, can you make me an admin of the Smackdown vs Raw wiki? I would like it if you do. Zombiekiller14  AWESOME!!  13:35, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Zombiekiller. Your adoption request is one of the next in line on the adoptions page, so it will most likely be looked at by myself or one of the other people who look after adoption requests in the next day or so. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 13:40, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oz pt Wikia
Hey, is there any reason for the deletation of the portuguese version of the Oz wikia? (pt-br.ozbehindthewalls.com/wiki)

I've been working a lot on that wiki... Seu Madruga 13:35, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well, the Wiki was redirecting for this wiki with a message of deletation. Minutes later it was back to normal. But thanks anyway. Seu Madruga 00:40, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Lego Indiana Jones Wikia Adoption
Yes, in fact I have created a discussion long before I even made this request. It can be found here. Although, one user already told me he doesn't really cares who an administrator or not. The rest are pretty much dormant.:) Tatooine 15:33, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Request for deleting a whole Wiki.
I think twilightsagabookandmovie.wikia.com should get deleted, because twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki exists, which is a much more important wiki.

 * 1) founder and bureaucrat:User:I♥CarlisleCullen
 * 2) 22:23, 3. Okt. 2010 on User talk:Spreadthetwiluv.
 * 3) 15:29, 1. Nov. 2010 on User:JoKalliauer
 * 4) me (Administrator:User:JoKalliauer)
 * Special:Contributions/JoKalliauer
 * 1) User:Spreadthetwiluv
 * 4 Edits see Special:Contributions/Spreadthetwiluv

There is also a third admin: Luck y Timot hy but he is also very inactive.

Bot request pt 2
Hello, ^_^;;

I am in the process of arranging many pages and categories on my wiki, thing is, it is a bit tiring to do it manually. Could you do a category transfer. On an off note, I ended up figuring out a namespace so that is already handled lol.

The pages from this category, into the new category with the space
 * http://gaia.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Gaia_Online_Glossary/Gaia_Lingo
 * Gaia Online Glossary/Gaia Lingo → Category:Gaia_Online_Glossary_/Gaia_Lingo

The pages from this category, into the new category with the space
 * http://gaia.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Gaia_Online_Glossary/Storyline
 * Gaia Online Glossary/Storyline → Category:Gaia_Online_Glossary_/Gaia_Storyline

For some reason that slight space looks better for it. And whenever you have the time, thank you -- Bunai82 (talk) 10:05, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Bot Request
Hey. I hope I'm doing this right, haha. Well I'm here on behalf of the Glee Wiki, and we would like to borrow a bot to help delete a lot of categories. Is this the right place to request a bot? Tell me on my talk page. Once I have confirmed that I can have a bot, I'll send you the category pages that need to be deleted. Thanks!

Bot Question
Hello Grunny!

I know you are good with bots and so I had a question before I even propose this to the admins of the Bleach Wiki. We categorize all of our images into a category based on the episode number such as Category:Episode 122 screenshots. In the category we place:

This category contains screenshots from Bleach anime episode 122, Hitsugaya Scatters! The Broken Hyōrinmaru.

and obviously the numbers and the name change with the Category. We are missing quite a few of these categories so my question is would a bot be able to create the rest of these categories for use following this format? If so it would definitely make things easier on us using a bot rather than users having to create the 60 or so categories we are missing. Thanks in advance for your response--


 * Hi Godisme. Yes, a bot can create pages quite easily. You could feed it a list of episode numbers and names, and have it iterate through and create each of them with the content you pasted above (with the number and name substituted in for each one). Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 07:03, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks1
Thanks for responding! I have one more question: If i gave you a list of categories NOT to delete, could you delete all others? If so, would it take you a while to delete a lot(and I mean, a lot) of categories? Please tell me on my talk page! Thank you!
