hebrew unciclopadia
we have the range of "מדריך" (handbook) and also the range of "עזרה" (help). i ask you to remove the range "עזרה" beacouse we don't need him any more and also remove the range "forum". 15:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've had a look, it seems there are pages in מדריך which will be perminantly lost if they are not moved out of the namespace before it is deleted. Are you sure that's what you want?  I would recomend keeping מדריך, because that may be linked to the Help Wikia in the future (although it will probably be some time before that available in Hebrew).  Forum looks OK to remove, but an alternative would be to translate that, and create a forum like the Village Dump on Uncyclopedia.  Let me know what you prefer :) -- sannse (talk) 09:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * *i meaned to remove "עזרה" and to stay "מדריך".

'''the site is gatting bigger so we opened dougter rangesto hebrew uncyclopadia.thank. 12:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * to remove forum becouse until now we didn't decided to open range for talks.
 * to change "איןמילון talk" to "שיחת איןמילון"
 * to change "איןציטוט talk" to "שיחת איןציטוט"
 * to open 3 more ranges: "איןטקסט", "איןדבר", "איןספר" (equal to unews' unbook and untext in Uncyclopadia)/
 * to give space for speacial logo for each range/
 * hello again, we also need an otomatic system that check if the user have vote right (100 contributes and month of activity). can those user have a title (like "sysop" or "rollback") like "vote right"? we mean contributes only in main range,or "איןמילון", "איןציטוט", "איןטקסט", "איןדבר", "אין ספר" ranges. 11:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, so this is turning out rather complicated - it seems my tools don't like right-to-left languages! So I'm going to need to get some technical help.  But first, let's make sure I have the namespaces right.  Don't worry about the numbers, just let me know if all of the namespaces are as you want them.
 * On special logos... that's not something that can be done by Wikia - but the English Uncyclopedia worked out a way to do it with their own javascript. You can ask them for help in getting that on the Hebrew version
 * On an automatic system to check rights etc... I don't know of any way to do that. A user right like "rollback" has to be set manually, it's not done automatically.  You can get information on edit counts from Special:Editcount, but again, that would be manual -- sannse (talk) 19:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, 0 is the main namespace. I had to do some moving around to get ready for this.  I know that means that the handbook pages are in "עזרה", but don't worry about that.

 * please rename "עזרה" to "מדריך", as our community decided.
 * please rename "איןדבר" to "איןחדש", as i altered my ask.
 * please add "בית קפה" range (forum new name).


 * Hi, there are some problems with getting this right, but I'll keep working with the techs to sort it out. Sorry about this -- sannse (talk) 20:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Danny Phantom Infobox
I am the editor for the Danny Phantom Wiki. I;m getting off the ground with some help from a few fans. One thing I;m trying to do is create an infobox for episodes. How do I make an Infobox? Markcambrone 00:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. An infobox is simply a table on the top right of the page.  To make them easier to add, people often use templates with variables.  A good, simple example is the Muppet's template at http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Song
 * Info boxes can get very complicated, but the idea is to make a template on one page, and then use it on another with variables. The best way to make one, is to find a template that looks good to you, and copy it over to your wiki.  Some use /very/ complicated code, so it's best to avoid them, but you should find something useful.  You can ask other users for help with this in the Forums or on the Wikia IRC channel -- sannse (talk) 10:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

$wgFileExtensions
Hello Sannse,its me again (The Oracle from Custom Bionicles)

If you can please,add the file extension  to  to  of our wiki, Custom Bionicles.

P.S:Crazy-Lihkan38 and Toa Retyk (the other two admins on our wiki) have been gone for a while.Have you seen them contributing to another wiki,or are they on some sort of vacation?I can't really handle the site by myself!(I left a couple of messages to Crazy-Lihkan about other things,but he never replied)

-- Seth Laugh Edits 21:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * .bmp images are not a good think to add to a wiki. They tend to be very large, unnecessarily so.  Is there a special reason you want them?  It's generally much better to convert to a more sensible compressed format like .jpg or .gif


 * On the other admins, I've not seen them, but they could be somewhere... why not try the "email this user" link? Maybe that will reach them?  You might also want to think about adding new admins to the wiki.  I've made you a bureaucrat on custombionicle so you can do that.  Hope that helps -- sannse (talk) 20:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Well,one of the new users to the wiki (I think he came from our sister wiki,Bioniclepedia) has a lot of  files.
 * I tried e-mailing Crazy Lihkan before,he either blocked that option or doesn't have an email.I'm going to try e-mail Toa Retyk now,though.
 * -- Seth Laugh Edits 21:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * [Edit:I e-mailed Toa Retyk,so now I am going to wait.I am going to make Hodoka2 a admin for now.]


 * It's much better for those files to be converted to .jpg or .gif rather than uploaded as .bmp - which is very easy to do. All you need to do is open them in any image manipulation program, and the "save as" changing the file type.  If you know how to set it to compress them at the same time, that's great, but even changing the file type will be a big improvement in the size of the files.  -- sannse (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Desysop
Can I have my sysops removed at Wookieepedia please? Thank you. 16:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi StarNeptune, is there a problem? If it's just that you are inactive at the moment, why not leave them in case you want them in the future?  There's no harm to that :) -- sannse (talk) 20:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

help me
help, some vandal is defacing the kirby wiki, i don't have banning rights to ban him, can you help, or at least get help? Bob The Geomancer 21:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Please help, please help, i can't turn the corner without him vandaling, he's even vandaled my talk page Bob The Geomancer 21:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * All fixed, and the IP is blocked. You can often find help faster in you ask in the Wikia IRC channel.  There is a web-interface at http://irc.wikia.com/ .  So why don't you just ask Dantman if you can become an admin there? :) -- sannse (talk) 09:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Domain
I notice that memory-alpha address has a domain in it http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Trek Was wondering could I as well I have one by godaddy (Benjeman Washington 03:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC))


 * Some very large wikis that moved to Wikia kept their domain names as they moved. But generally, we don't offer that.  I'm afraid the wikia URL has to stay -- sannse (talk) 17:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

help to do peace in our site
hellow' it's me again from hebrew eincyclopadia. before tow weeks we had vote about closing the site for 1 day- which in Isreal is the memory day of the holocost/ a user' who is sysop on english Unsyclopadia' called "Mordillo" called me a dictator and make a fight between me and some other users (teenagers). until than our community was vary peaceful and harmonyful community. since then almost every day i get words from those users that call me dictator and angry about me/ as you see my English is not so good, but i want to be peace in the communty. please answer me in my talk page here to don't make the fire up. thanks/ 17:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Help with related communities
Hi Sannse, some time ago I came across a way to make the Related Communities box not display when I'm signed in. I now see from Green Wikia that it looks as if I can customise this box which would be good to reciprocate links with them and others, but I'm really stumped as to how to get the box to display again. Hope you can help! Philralph @ sca21 16:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm not sure about this... I don't recall seeing that box for a while now. Possibly it was an experiment that didn't catch on.  Let me check it out, and I'll get back to you -- sannse (talk) 11:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Found the answer quicker than I thought :) the box is still there - but only for logged out users. You can edit it at MediaWiki:Monaco-related-communities... but it's an extra for anons, to encourage them to find wikis they want to sign in to, rather than a standard part of the sidebar for all -- sannse (talk) 12:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Thanks for this Philralph @ sca21 15:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

NWN2Wiki going to monaco
Yes please let us implement and change it ourselves, folks changing our skins on us makes our community get defensive which has happened a few times, but i like what you did.

Last time i made a change I implemented it just for my own account so i could refine and test it. Can i do it like this with the monaco you did. This way I can try it for a week or so before I change the default, and others can too. I'll make the larger community aware of this after i get a chance to look at it - this site acts as the real manual for the game so it is very active because of that, and we have quite a few sub communities here as well. I want to make sure each groups leader has a chance to say they like the change.

I think folks would not mind a change, they just need their favorite buttons where they can find them. Pain 20:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Sin City Admin
Hi sorry if I get anything wrong while posting here...I'm very new to this. I've been adding new pages to the long dead Sin City wiki and after working a bit on it (13 or so new pages) I found out about becoming the new Administrator. If you don't mind, could you do me the kindness of making me the new site admin? Once again I apologize if anything in this post is incorrect for this kind of request. SerenityValley


 * Sure :) I've made you admin and bureaucrat there... let me know if you need any help with the buttons. Have fun! -- sannse (talk) 12:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Adopt Bahrain
Hi, I'd like to revive and adopt the Bahrain wikia. Can I get adminship rights? Thanks --Arabbi 20:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's fine, you are all set :) You may need to log out and in again to see the change. Good luck with the wiki! -- sannse (talk) 19:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Sannse!
I've been having this problem with a template that the users of the FFWiki had made. We made it and people asked if they could use it for their wiki. We said yes, just as long as the credit us for making it. The other day a user from the wiki that I edit told me about it. He said a user from the Homestar Runner wiki had made it. I go over to investigate. I put the credits on the Template page and they get reverted. I ask the user that put the coding on the wiki about it, my edits get reverted, I ask the person who reverted my edits why he did it, they were also reverted. So I go and get proof and post it on the Template's talkpage. That is also reverted. Then, well look.Can you please help me out? P.S most of them have been rude to me, all except a user named Znex -Azul 21:35, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * While it may not be strictly proper, copying template code has generally been considered as harmless on wikis. In fact, it's generally considered to be the best way to learn about and develop templates.  I can understand your annoyance, as this is a particularly unique template, but I'm not sure this was worth more than a polite request on a talk page to add attribution (and that to the template page, not to the template).  If you want to take this further, you will have to contact the admins and hosts of hrwiki - it's not a Wikia wiki, so I can't help with that. -- sannse (talk) 19:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Merging
Hello Sannse,

Its the Oracle again.Me and the people at Custom Bionicles plus the people of BioFanFic wiki are thinking about merging,since BioFanFic & Custom Bionicles have the same topic but different names.If you would help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

--  Seth Laugh Edits 23:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure :) I'll ask JSharp to help with this. -- sannse (talk) 19:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Interlanguages
Hi Sannse, Can you take a look at this.--BlueDevil Talk 22:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * A good reminder thanks :) I'll try and look at interlanguage links today -- sannse (talk) 08:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, Thanks.--BlueDevil Talk 19:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * All done. They should work in all directions now (although it sometimes takes a few hours for everything to take) -- sannse (talk) 19:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. But yet there is a problem that it links to Persian Wikia like this:
 * http://fa.www.wikia.com/wiki/User:BlueDevil
 * The fa is not in the right place.--BlueDevil Talk 20:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oops! how did I do that? OK, I've fixed it, again it may take a few hours to show as the fixed link.  sorry about that -- sannse (talk) 12:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help.--BlueDevil Talk 20:33, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Requesting admin and bureaucrat privileges on Rappelz Wiki
Hi, I made a request for the bureaucrat and sysop flags two days ago on CatherineMunro's talk page, but apparently she is not checking her talk page often. Could you please set those flags for me? Thanks in advance, Drennan 07:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, as this is an active wiki, I've done this a different way and given AuranX the ability to set admins. He can now add the flags as needed :) -- sannse (talk) 12:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That will work too, I'll explain to him how to find the controls. ^^ (Hope he logs on in the near future as work is just piling up.) Thank you. Drennan 12:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Sannse
Hello Sannse, It's been a long time since I was active in wikia. And now, I think, the community to which my wiki "karl May" should belong to is finally ready to get active on this wiki, I hope so, after such a long time to convince them. And I will be adding new material soon. Sorry for my long non-active period.

I see now wikia has changed. I hope for the better.

But the community ask me to protect some of the text inside it. The text I mentioned will be e-Books (at least there will be three) and they want me to protect that in such a way that the text cannot be copied right from the website and people can only read it. Further more, can they be protected with passwords and if people wants to read it they should ask for the password first. Can it be done? If the password cannot be applied, it doesn't matter, but the copy-paste protection is somewhat a must. This is a request from the community itself.

And from now on, I only plan to manage Karl May Wiki, so I would like to give the other wikis to people who want to use them.

Thank you

Agus elex 2005 07:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that's not possible, not only technically, but also because all content on Wikia must be under a free license (the GFDL) which means that people are allowed to copy and re-use the text. If the text is not suitable for this license, then I'm afraid it's not suitable for Wikia -- sannse (talk) 12:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Bot flag
Hello Sannse. I only recently found out that local bureaucrats are not allowed to assign bot flags. Could you please set the flag for DrennanBot on the Rappelz Wiki? It is going to create articles from an offline database of monsters in the game, using a reasonable amount of throttling of course. The bot is based on pywikipedia. Thank you, Drennan 15:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, that should be no problem.... can you just confirm that the community on the wiki agrees with this bot being used? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:07, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, the community at the moment consists of Najevi and me. I agree with the bot being used and Najevi seems to agree with it as well, or at least he didn't actively protest after I tested my bot and asked in the forums what naming conventions it should follow. If you insist, I can start a poll, though. :) Drennan 17:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I announced it here: c:Rappelz:Forum:Bot to create stubs for all mobs. Drennan 09:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Perfect, thanks Drennan - the bot is flagged -- sannse (talk) 10:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Drennan 10:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Vandal problems
Hi Sannse, im a member of the FFwiki, and for the past half an hour, we have been having some vandal problems with | this user and | This one. our admins are all gone at the moment, so i was wondering if you could help us by banning them.--Superaeon35 17:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright Sannse, I'm back at the Wiki, so I've blocked him. However, he's persistent, so I'd like to lock annon edits and user creation for a day or two. How would I do that? I was going to ask on the Wikia IRC channel, but apparently someone got my name banned on the main channel. Diablocon 18:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've put a new extension on to finalfantasy.wikia that allows you to do some of this - it's at Special:Protectsite. It won't stop user creation, because that's common to the whole of Wikia, but you can restrict editing for a while.  Each protection only lasts for a maximum of 24 hours, because this is supposed to be for emergencies, but that should help you out.  One bug: if you restrict moves to logged in users, it will actually be admin only (hopefully that will be fixed soon).  Hope it helps!  And let me know if I can do anything else -- sannse (talk) 10:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and on IRC... There don't appear to be any bans that should affect your nick. It may be your IP that's banned... shared computer or variable IP?  I've cleared the ban list, so please let me know if you have more problems -- sannse (talk) 11:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Spanish Math
Could you please look into this issue I raised on the Spanish Mathematics Wikia 4 months ago? I also left Rieke Hain (listed as Helper) a message about it on his talk page here, but that wasn't responded to either. Looks like none of the currently active users (all three of them) have any special privileges on the wiki. - dcljr 08:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've unprotected the main page, so you can make any changes needed. I'll also check the Interlanguage links later today, make sure they all work.  Rieke has left Wikia unfortunately, and it looks like the admin for that wiki hasn't been active for a long time.  Perhaps you and the other active editors can decide on one or more of you becoming the new admins? (or even all of you).  Let me know -- sannse (talk) 11:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm. AFAICT, the main page is still locked. - dcljr 07:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That was very strange... it seems the unprotection didn't take, even when I repeated it. Jaymach got it working with a two step unprotaction, and a few tests showed the problem didn't repeat... so all should be OK now.  Sorry for the confusion -- sannse (talk) 10:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Necyklopedie
Hi, ''can you let me know of any other examples of images breaking? And were they working when first added, or broken from the start?'' For example I had a problem with some images at this template. I must to give there 49px instead of 50px (original width of these icons is 400px). I also remember the article Ukrajina, where one image in the gallery was wrong, but now it displays correct, without any change of the parameters. If you mean merging of the [edit] button with the text, it happens at all pages, where are more pictures one below another. This is probably on all wikis except German Uncyclopedia. Many thanks. --Karkos 12:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi, "helpers" are interns and contractors working for Wikia.  I don't think that's what you mean?  If you are interested in being an admin on the wiki, then you should talk to one of the exisitng admins.  It looks like w:c:prowrestling:User:RobJ1981 is the most active at the moment :) -- sannse (talk) 16:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes Helper not a admin i went over the helper janitor article and i am interestedSuckup 103 17:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Humm... now you seem to be confusing Janitors and Helpers. And both of these are global roles, not something you can do on one wiki such as "pro wrestling".  But either way, thanks for your interest but I think you need some more experience on wikis, and time to build up a super-good reputation on Wikia :) -- sannse (talk) 10:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, I see what you mean. I think the problem is the right to left text.  The headings need to be "level 1" headings for the system to know that's where to make a new box - and can't see that ==چگونه متن را ویرایش کنیم is a level 1 heading.

Re: creatureswiki.com
Hello. I decided it would be more prudent to respond here to what you posted on Wookieepedia than continue the discussion there. I am curious- if Wikia's only intention was to prevent cybersquatters from purchasing the domain, why did they not simply encourage us, the leaders of our community and the originators of the name "Creatures Wiki", to purchase it ourselves, by which means we could actually make use of it and forward it to the site? As is, the people who wrote all the content on the site and maintain its integrity were not told a thing about it, and furthermore, the domain is simply being held (it does not even point anywhere!) because of its status as a commodity, rather than being put to use.

All of this sounds like the very definition of cybersquatting to me. Was Wikia intending to give us the domain later? Selling it to us, perhaps? (which definitely would count as cybersquatting.) Somehow, based on the fact that we were never told about this practice, I doubt it. ElasticMuffin 17:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the first part of the reply is that this really wasn't considered any more than routine housekeeping... nothing that warranted any big discussion. I seem to recall it being mentioned at least a couple of times in the past on wikis, but I can't recall enough about that to point to the discussions.  And we certainly don't consider it cybersquatting, because these are wikis on Wikia we are talking about.  Where I think we may have made a mistake, is in not pointing these URLs to wikis.  But possibly it's simply more important to just make sure they don't lead to sites like http://www.wikiaa.com/
 * As for selling them to you... to who? The community is the people who use the wiki - that amorphous and ever-changing group can't own a URL.  An admin could, and they could wander off - as people do every day.  Wikia does a lot more than provide server space for our wikis.  We provide technical and community support.  We promote wikis and try to ensure they grow.  We work on search optimisation, and experiment on way to increase the number of people finding the edit button, and look at what features are most likely to ensure wikis grow and thrive... and we buy any URLs we think should be protected. -- sannse (talk) 19:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's all very nice, but are you willing to bet it will hold up in a trademark court or domain arbitration? You know how rights are established in a mark. We - the members of the Creatures Community, especially myself - are the ones who have worked our butts off establishing the Creatures Wiki as a site worthy of note. We are the ones who have advertised the service in interstate commerce. We are the ones who have obtained the rights to use much of the content of the site. You are the people we have chosen to host our continuing efforts up to this point. If we choose otherwise, you may soon find yourself in a situation where you cannot legally continue to host the site without radical modifications that would cost more than the site is worth to you. --GreenReaper(talk) 22:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you serious? Buying up relevant domains with high searchability and considerable value to a particular community and holding them without informing the people who run it is just "routine" and warrants no discussion?  I'm sorry, that's not supporting the 'community', that's just acting in your own interests.
 * I have been here maintaining the Creatures Wiki since the beginning and witnessed Wikicities' transformation from a friendly place that hosted wikis, to a company that seems to think it is cool to slap "Wikia" over everything and call it a community. We resisted being labeled a "gaming wiki", we resisted linking to other totally unrelated wikis, and we fought off the first attempts to convert us to other themes against our will and without community consent.  Wikia seems to have come to the incorrect conclusion that it owns the communities that it relies upon for money; in reality, it merely provides them a place to stay.  When your contributors leave, all you will have left is the content, and anyone can have that.  It's free, after all.  We are not your assets that must be protected, we are your customers.  It is neither your job nor your business to own this domain and I will not hesitate to warn others about these tactics going forward.  ElasticMuffin 04:34, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, on IRC
Hi. If you're online about now, I'm afraid I can't use skype. Can you contact me on IRC? -- JSharp (talk) 05:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Sock accounts (and maybe a sysopping. Dunno about that)
Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, but on the RuneScape Wiki, you recently blocked a user who went primarily by "Thisguyowns", "Jimihendrixowns" and "Jaghater(number here)". I am a sysop on the RSW, but not the RuneScape Fanfiction Wiki, which is mostly made by the more irregular/sometimes irresponsible users on RSW. Recently (not sure who did it) the username block was applied to Jaghater. However, he has repetedly been contacting me on RSFFW, even after I asked him not to (because I don't trust him). This has gone to the point of him calling me and RSW "corrupt" and me "a fool". I have removed his comments, but he keeps coming back for more. In and out of the RuneScape game, he has been contacting me, swearing that he and his other names are actually "different" people, when we obviously have more than enough evidence to block him on all the Runescape wiki's variants. In fact, he's | openly admitted to socking on BOTH wikis, and they haven't blocked him, simply because he doesn't vandalize pages. If at all possible, I'd like to be sysopped on the RuneScape Fanfiction wiki so I could end this once and for all. In short, he's still socking, and none of us on the RSW's IRC channel believe a word he says about "his brother" and "his cousins little bro". --&#123;&#123;Signatures/Stinkowing}} 20:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Commons
Hey Sannse,

Is it possible to have the aoc wiki setup as a Commons for the server wiki's. w:c:cimmeria-aoc - w:c:aquilonia-aoc - w:c:cimmeria-aoc - w:c:wiccana-aoc & w:c:hyperborea-aoc? Can it be set that they can share images and templates? Or is it better to just have the templates run locally??

Thanks, Daworm 00:41, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know if this would be the best thing for the server wiki project. We have templates on each wiki that differ from one-another, yet have the same names.  The server wikis also have a unique setup for copyright information, and we closely monitor all content that is uploaded to them; losing the ability to control that input may lead to inconsistencies.  Before we make any decision like this, those of us running the server wiki project would like to have a chance to further discuss this situation.  --TarrVetus 02:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Understood. I only suggest images at least as it would make images easier rather than having it on two wiki's. If it's one one, you simply enter the file-name and it'll use the image on the main one, if you don't have a local copy. Maybe not templates, but images could be a slight saviour in this regards. I'll leave it in your hands to discuss further with others then TarrVetus. Daworm 02:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me know if you decide to do this, I believe we can set it up -- sannse (talk) 19:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikia Helper
Hello Sannse!

I was wondering if you would make me a Wikia helper on the following hubs: Entertainment, Books, Creative, and Fan Fiction. I don't know what I have to do to become a Wikia Helper, but I am very interested! Is there a way that you can use my other account for this? I only want to use this one for The Lemony Snicket Wikia. The other account is Jklmcw, but I promise it's me.

Thanks,


 * Hi. Wikia helpers are contractors and interns working for Wikia.  It's quite a formal position, rather than a volunteer one.  We generally either invite people to work for us, or they apply to something on the Hiring page.  Maybe not what you are looking for? :) -- sannse (talk) 21:07, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * What about a janitor then? -- Jklmcw Leave Me a Message! / Email Me!  /  See My Contribs!   (What's This?) Date and time of message: 17:16, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not looking for more Janitors at the moment. But when I do, I look for people who are very active across Wikia, and who are super helpful and friendly.  There's a great page about the type of people I want to find at http://freenode.net/catalysts.shtml - but, as I say, i won't be adding anyone to the program for a while -- sannse (talk) 10:56, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Hey, I just read many user pages of janitors and then the janitor Wikia page that tells everyone what janitors do and it looks like the janitors are on strike or something! I don't know if this is spam or not but if the janitors go on strike or quit you know where to find a new one as long as I can work from home! -- Jklmcw Leave Me a Message! / Email Me!  /  See My Contribs!   (What's This?) Date and time of message: 23:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, some of the Janitors are away at the moment... maybe permanently, I don't know yet. So I'll wait for things to be clearer for now.  But there are many way to volunteer on Wikia... mainly by just being helpful.  There are always questions on the Forum, or in the IRC channel, or just new wikis that could do with help and encouragement.  Anything like that is wonderful, and it's people who are seen helping out in that way that are likely to be asked to be Janitors or Helpers :) -- sannse (talk) 16:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Bug?
Hi I was wondering whether you could help me with a small problem that I have found on the Lord of the Rings Fanon site. In the forums when the 'Add a new topic' button is pressed the specified 'preload' doesn't load; it seems to preload it if the template field required isn't given - but of course the template just shows a lot of 's. Anyway I hope you understand because it's difficult to describe; so thanks in advanced - any help is appreciated. Thanks!-- 20:23, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've fixed it... you just needed another level to the Forumheader template. It seems to work fine now -- sannse (talk) 21:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, of course - I don't know how I missed that! Thanks again!-- 21:56, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Unblock for me?
I know that when a user is infinitely blocked, both his IP or hex or something and his username/account are blocked. Well awhile back, User:Darthtyler requested a permanent ban on Star Wars Fanon and so I did him the favor of doing so, and just today he asked me to unblock him. Therefore, I did unblock him, but I am unsure if his IP is still blocked or not. So can you please check and unblock it if necessary? It'd be much appreciated, thank you. -- Victor  ( talk ) 01:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Transformers Wikia backup?
Howdy! It looks like the Transformers group may be decamping from Wikia. (Against my better judgement...) And for my sins I've been assigned to look into how we get a database export. I have no idea how up-to-date the 'all pages' XML is... but the images archive for transformers.wikia.com has grown only 30 megabytes since I last checked it 11 months ago, so I seriously doubt it is up to date.

Danny suggested I make it your problem ask you about it, since you've apparently helped communities with that before. How do you go about getting actual up to date DB downloads? This page seems to be the only official word on the project, and it's singularly unhelpful. -Derik 16:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Derik. The text database should be very up to date.  The date of the copy is on the download page, so you can see exactly when it goes up to.  I will have to ask for images to be updated to ensure that's current, and I won't be able to get that done instantly, as you can imagine we are running around trying to make sure everything goes smoothly right now!
 * But I would urge you and the Transformer community to give yourselves time to get used to the changes, and us time to iron out the wrinkles.
 * I'd be interested to see the discussion on this by the way, obviously we want to learn from all this, and hearing what the Transformer community is saying will be useful. Could you link me to the page?  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:35, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, that is what I'm advocating. (I am big fan of letting someone else shoulder the logistical load and letting fans dedicate their time to what they actually like doing instead of tech-support.) I'm keenly aware that reproducing Wikia's functionality is not an out-of-the-box Wikimedia install, but the community voice seems to be leaning heavily towards exodus, even among the admins.  If you want to chime in- please do so.  It'd probably be good for them to interact with someone from Wikia who is not Danny-Toughpigs.  The general feeling is that Danny grossly misrepresented himself at pretty much every step of his interaction with our community, which really set the stage for the current Wikia-toxic atmosphere.
 * So the XML archive is live (or close to it,) and to get an up-to-date image archive, I can just arrange it with you? Good to know. -Derik 18:19, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Space for ad
Let me tell you a secret: See the large empty space on the left? (there <) The larger the page, the larger the empty space, so... Why not put ads there instead of placing them INSIDE THE PAGES? That was the most stupid idea I ever saw.

Wikia could create one ad box in that empty space that resizes to the page size, and the larger the page, the larger number of ads. What you say? Of course, the ads inside article MUST be removed before doing it. --_12:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Question about copyrights
A user is asking me if he can upload anonymous content to Ficciones, he says, anonymous works, like Robin Hood. He says he could upload some current anonymous stories, but I am not sure. Maybe GFDL does not allow that, as he does not own the rights to them. I think he is wrong, is he? David 20:04, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * This is a bit complicated, but I'll give you my understanding of the issue. It's not about whether the content is anonymous, an author has copyright over his own work regardless.  But some stories are considered traditional, and so no one holds the copyright.  They are also likely to be so old that any original author's copyright is long expired... they are in the public domain.  So such stories can be used on a GDFL project.  Something like Robin Hood is definitely traditional... but a particular telling of the story may be copyrighted.  So Hollywood can make infinite Robin Hood movies (the overall story is public domain) but each movie is copyrighed. -- sannse (talk) 18:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Atheism Wiki needs sysops
Uberfuzzy says there are no sysops on Atheism Wiki. I told him that I’m willing. I patrol Atheism Wiki daily. I feel it would be good if I could deal with vandals instead of reporting them. There is a continual small vandal problem with this Wiki.

R Fitzroy hasn’t said anything but he may be interested. He started a good page on blocking policies and wrote most of it. He’s discussed what sysops should do intelligently. He wrote other good material.

Bob M is a sysop on RationalWiki. He’s been to Atheism Wiki recently. I don’t know if he’s interested. Proxima Centauri 10:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Can you start a discussion with these and any other members of the community? If everyone agrees, then it will be great to make the three of you admins.  I see you don't have a forum at the moment, let me know if it would help for me to set that up. -- sannse (talk) 20:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I don’t think the others have been back since I last contacted you. The only changes were one case of vandalism which I dealt with. I’ve been patrolling regularly and checking for vandalism. The others may have checked for vandalism as well. I don’t know. I will start a discussion on their talk pages. Proxima Centauri 08:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

R Fitzroy is willing to be a sysop but can’t make a regular commitment. I’ve contacted Bob M at RationalWiki. He says he has other commitments. I can easily patrol Atheism Wiki at least once a day. I can patrol more often if there is heavy vandalism. By the way before I discovered Atheism Wiki I was considering suggesting a new Freethought Wiki. I’m keen to see Atheism Wiki succeed.

License tags
Because we already have all CC-BY-SA tags as templates in de.foto, it is not necessary to add one there. Thank you anyway. --Eva K. tell me about it 19:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, the template I added is part of the replacement for the Mini-upload feature - the new one is more flexible, allows uploads from flickr, Mediawiki Commons, or your computer, all without leaving the editing page. It also asks if you want to tag your image with this template, which is why I've added it Wikia-wide :) You should see more on this soon -- sannse (talk) 20:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That may be, but we took over our own system which has been proven on de-wikipedia. And in a wiki which deals with photography, we want to have our own photographs mainly, not those from flickr or whatever photo archive. Finally I'm not interessted in using templates in English in a German wiki or to translate all that stuff, nor does anyone else in our wiki. --Eva K. tell me about it 22:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Perhaps if you already have a template for that license, you could put it in that page? Or you could delete it until you see the new feature and decide what to do.  It looks like the new image upload application will call that page, so it will be somewhat broken if there's no page there.  Of course, it's up to you what you do :) -- sannse (talk) 08:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I asked Avatar what is going on there and he explained me that Wikia is developing an addiotional upload feature. AFAICS it is not a complete redesign of the standard upload which I was afraid of. Meanwhile I replaced the template's text with ours as you suggested. Will it be possible to fit the new feature to our needs if necessary? --Eva K. tell me about it 12:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Templates
Hi Sannse, can the templates in Wikia be just like templates in Wikipedia. I mean, can I just import the templates from Persian Wikipdia to Persian Wikia.--BlueDevil Talk 15:35, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There are a couple of things to consider... Wikipedia's templates often have many sub-templates. If you want the template you will also have to copy all sub-templates.  They also sometimes use css, which is in the site css page and will need copying over too.  And finally, Wikipedia uses a feature called HTMLTidy, which we don't use.  Sometimes that can mean that code that works there will break here (and vice versa).  So if you are sure you have everything copied, and it still doesn't work, then you will need to check the code carefully for problems caused by that.  Hope that helps -- sannse (talk) 20:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Dofus project name
Well me again with this... I have been giving 2nd thoughts to it to be more sure... on the reasons well its not that i hate the url we have but its a bit messy... we having the links issues (resolve with a clear cache client side), other specific link issues like the ones of report problems but most dont frequently read it so there no biggy there... but what its killing me its the javascrips we have no one at our wiki most of the JS was installed by me, i have a notion but coding its another story i have ask for JSharp help, he already repair the code but then i notice other stuff that where not working so im still stuck with that, i compare codes between the place prior to asking help and there was not significant difference, and if we have to customize every code we get from other wikis to out wiki due to the URL difference its going to be tedious for the me (since im the one that does all this things in our wiki) and to JSharp the one i will be having to constantly annoy... Also lately that i have try to start our politics, guidelines and other project stuff at the wiki im having the expression issue if i say Dofus needs your help we are referring to the wiki needs your help but as a random user they understand Dofus game designers need your help like many game wikis that have names so similar to their game we are working hard to differencing between the game designers and us (and i think i could compare that to wikia trying to differentiate from wikipedia as a clear example) and i guess that another name bit more catchy like Dofupedia or something like that would acknowledge that so i want to explore the option and would like to know what would require to do so?. --Cizagna (Talk) 19:58, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Cizagna. Changing the name of the wiki is no problem.  I can do that for you with a small settings change.  But that doesn't need to change the URL.  For example, Wookieepedia is at starwars.wikia.com, but the name is known and shown on the site.  So I think the problem you describe might best be solved by the community choosing a new name, without worrying about the URL.  Then I can set the namespace, the titlebar and the  variable to whatever you choose -- r:Sannse|sannse]] (talk) 11:22, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Issues
Could you please look at this issue? Thank you! 19:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Help! (User talk:Angela)
I would also like to ask you for help. We have a terrible issue:

Wikistad
Dear Angela. On stad.wikia User:DimiTalen is a bureaucrat and sysop. He has said a few times he would leave the wiki forever but keeps returning to put a bad atmosphere there. We can't block him because he's a sysop (he can unblock himself) Could he please be desysoped and debureaucrated? --OWTB 14:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As soon as possible. He affects the whole wiki and we can't work anymore like this on our wiki. 15:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, he keeps affecting the whole wiki. The way he acts on Stad.wiki isn't the way you should act in a community like wikistad or an other wiki. -- 16:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Please, it's getting serious! :-( 19:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * We already had to block him for 3 days, but he can unblock himself, so we kind of need your help. 13:28, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you see? And they don't stop deleting pages. I'm getting worried. Now User:Ooswesthoesbes is also doing strange. 14:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I have answered myself on Angela's talk page and I would appreciate it if this issues was being discussed on one sole page. Thanks, 17:54, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
