World: namespace for Animepedia
Sannse, could you add a "World" namespace to the Animepedia? If you want the technical reasons, keep reading... ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 29, 2007 @ 04:35 (UTC)

I've been rethinking some of my methods and setups for the technical aspects of the top-level Wikia ACG wiki.

I needed some technical pages for each world, for tweaking things like category names and other I've been using a set of subpages for those purposes (Like Worldname/Tech/Info/Category for the category naming) but I've realized there are a few issues with that. Other than the facts that I need to do extra DPL stuff to hide them from showing up in lists, and they also clutter up the Allpages for the Main namespace. They actually alter the page counts and mess most things up for counting. And the method of using for templates that are meant for a certain world doesn't seam like such a good idea anymore.

Looking over how Semantic MediaWiki did things, I have seen that it would probably be a good idea for me to actually split that apart to work in multiple of the namespaces instead of just the main. Partly actually putting templates in the Template namespace, and keeping CSS in the MediaWiki namespace. And as for the technical pages, like how SMW did it those would be put in a special namespace. (SMW Has Type:, etc... namespaces to modify how SMW works; I'd be using a World: namespace in a similar way).

It would be best to organize things now, or else the wiki could end up messed up if the bad format is used in the meantime. I'd just prefix things with World: but then that would mean that a SQL query would probably half to be done. So mind adding the World: namespace now, it's useful even now because the templates already are using techniques that use the organization. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 29, 2007 @ 04:35 (UTC)


 * Hi Dantman, that's all done. I probably didn't need to delete and restore the pages starting in "world", I was just being cautious ;) -- sannse (talk) 09:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yup, thanks. Nah, you didn't need to worry about that. It actually doesn't matter that they are deleted because the rows still exist with the same ns-id/db_key pair. The technical reason why pages disappear is just because the pages with the ns-id override the ones prefixed with the db_key. Basically everything is still there, it's just that the new namespace makes another set of pages display instead, but that only happens with "Namespacename:". ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 30, 2007 @ 17:12 (UTC)

RS Wiki
Hello, you'll remember me as Total Rune from the RuneScape Wikia, who you did a checkuser on awhile back and told all the sysops to ban me on the spot due to vandalism. However, you only know half the story.

My account on the Wikia, Total Rune, was created by my brother Nicholas. He logged onto my laptop while I was at work and took pictures and made the account pretending to be me, which he has done on other websites and such and has gotten me banned from. He vandalised and got himself banned. I got ahold of him and the password to the account and I switched it to something Nicholas did not now, and I took control of the Total Rune account. I requested an unblock and explained myself and got the unblock.

However, several months later, problems arose as many Wikia members began prodding me and poking their noses into my personal life, some of which even just trying to get me banned. I finally snapped and vandalised a few times to get myself banned on purpose. However my brother still wanted to edit the wiki.

Now we have a wireless router and a wireless internet connection, which is shared by my laptop, my sister's laptop, my brother's laptop and my parents desktop computer. He returned to the RuneScape Wikia and continued to vandalise several times, getting himself banned alot. I found out about a Proxy website, located here from a user on the RuneScape Wikia, User:Blankothe3rd. My brother saw the site and began using it to get around his bans and continue to vandalize.

However, because of your checkuser and such, the sysops on the Wikia started labelling every vandalism from my IP addresses/network as "Total". They would just write "Total" as the block reason. I admit, I did use a proxy once or twice to leave an apology to User:Clv309, but she continued to hold a grudge against me, as does every other wikia user.

Because of your checkuser, and the Wikia continuing to mis-label every vandalism from my home as being done by me, which they were not, that ruined my reputation in RuneScape itself. I had people insulting me and calling me "noob" and "idiot" and "scammer" because of them. But these personal attacks ingame have since ceased, thank god.

I have already spoken with Angela about doing something to get the sysops on the RuneScape Wikia to stop claiming that every vandalism from my IP addresses/network was done by me, because to be truthful, 99% of the vandalisms from my network are my brother.

I feel I am owed an apology from the sysops on the RuneScape Wikia for damaging my reputation by falsely claiming all vandalisms from my home network are me. Also, I wish to see that the sysops on the RS Wiki stop putting "Total Rune" or "Total" as the reason for whenever they block a vandalizing IP from my network, because it's not me, it's my idiot brother. Thank you for taking the time to read this. 69.159.56.155 07:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC) (Total Rune, formerly from the RuneScape Wikia)


 * If you aren't interested in contributing to the wiki, I suggest you just move along. Labelling every instance of IP vandalism as being from the same user isn't a good idea, but it's quite possible the pattern of vandalism is similar for each IP, and thus the admins there are assuming it is you. I wouldn't wait around too long for an apology, because it's clear there are major issues between you and the administrators (and probably the community at large), which frankly, were instigated by you. As Angela said, there are many other wikis you can get involved with. -- Manticore  Talk 09:13, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * In fact the staff member who did the checkuser was user:Rieke Hain. See the page here.  My personal favorite is the line:


 * "There is definitely no point in believing those claims regarding "brothers and sisters" and "I didn't note that they vandalized". CheckUser results are pretty clear (logged in as A, logged out, logged in as B, logged out, logged in as A again … all within minutes)."


 * --Wowbagger421 00:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Checkuser does not show login/logout information. -- 07:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser can't tell who is on the other end of a keyboard. But if there are a succession of edits from the same IP (which usually means the same computer, if the time-frame is narrow) then it's generally likely that it's the same person, and that changes of username are the same person logging and and out. Of course, there are variations to this, including a shared IP on a home network. And it is possible for siblings to be editing from the same IP and one of them causing problems. But the "my bother did it" explanation has become something of a cliche. We hear it so many times that it becomes difficult to believe.

In the end, it becomes a matter of what is best for the wiki, and the wiki community. If that means blocking an IP because one person using it is causing problems, then so be it. Even if that means others on that IP as inconvenienced.

Total Rune, I would agree with the advice you've been given to just move on to something else. There is no way for the admins to know if you are telling the truth about your brother, and little reason for them to feel they should trust you at this point. But I think the real key to this is off-line. If your brother is causing these problems then perhaps it's time you asked your parents to intervene. It's only at your end of connection that his behaviour can be addressed and he can be stopped from causing you difficulties. After all, it's his behaviour that is causing this, not the admins'. -- sannse (talk) 09:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I have moved on, I keep getting shown block log entries from the RS Wiki by my bro over msn, and I'm getting pissed off at them for always labelling his vandalisms as "Total". Also, I'm not gonna bug my parents over his little vandalisms. Heck, I told him when I got banned to have fun. But whatever, as long as they stop labelling his vandalisms as "Total" I'll be happy. 69.159.56.155 22:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * At this point it's up to you. There is no reason for the admins to believe you, and every reason given your behaviour for them not to trust you.  If you want to change things, then it is up to you to stop the vandalism coming from your home. -- sannse (talk) 11:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Bot status request
Can I ask you for bot status? I'm an administrator-burocrat of Nonciclpedia (italian parodistic encyclopedia). I've created my bot "HeavyBot", could it receive the bot status? Its presence on the "last modifies" page is getting annoying... :-) --User:Heavymachinegun 12:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, Could you tell me whether the Nonciclpedia community is aware of this request, and agree with the change? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 12:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

shoutbox on quartz bugs

 * format will change from timestamp to current date at certain times of the day
 * parses apostrophes like this: "it\'s don\'t won\'t"
 * users online is stuck at 357

-- 22:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Charitwo. Do you have more info on the first one, It's not something I've been able to see happen yet.  Thanks again -- sannse (talk) 12:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It appears to have been fixed? Haven't seen it happen today, I saw TOR's sock poking around in there, maybe whatever he did fixed that issue. However the latter 2 still remain. -- 02:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks like they've got the number of users sorted too. The other is in the system, so they should squash it soon. -- sannse (talk) 10:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Still says 357 to me. -- 04:58, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Got it! I didn't see that each wiki shows the number differently and 357 was on ffxi. I've added a screenshot to the bug report.  Thanks Charitwo -- sannse (talk) 18:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Can't manage to open a Hebrew wiki in Wikia
I have had two very good ideas for potential Hebrew wikis which I am sure would be very sucessfull amongst the hebrew speaking users on the web. Unfortunatly, I havn't been able to figure out how to open a Hebrew Interface Wiki in which the text would show from right-to-left so far... at one point I even thought that it was impossible and that all the Hebrew wikis on Wikia didn't have a Hebrew right-to-left interface and in the best scenarios you could only add a div dir="RTL".. but just now I found out that one of the most popular Hebrew wikis on the web (eincyclopedia.wikia.com) is hosted in wikia so I know for sure that it got to be possible.. any ideas on how I could do this (please try to be as specific as you can)? --24.12.234.123 06:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. All you need to do is request a wiki on the Requests Wikia, and be sure to select "Hebrew" from the language list.  If you want to try out editing, we have a right-to-left scratchpad at Right to Left Scratchpad, but I'd suggest just requesting the wiki - that way the default interface will be in Hebrew -- sannse (talk) 12:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

STEU project - short name
Hi Sannse; dunno if you remember me--Todd from Star Trek Expanded Universe. Anyway, judging from this, I'm going out on a limb and taking a guess that you might be able to help. Simply put, can we get our name shortened to just, rather than the existing  ? The previous has become our de facto project namespace, the one everyone commonly uses (and it's the namespace on our "official" pages). If you can help, great!, thank you, and have a wonderful holiday season. :) --Sasoriza 22:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, yes I can do this. But the old and new namespaces must be empty for this to work.  So you need to move all pages starting with Star Trek Expanded Universe: or Star Trek Expanded Universe Database: out of the way.  The best thing to do is to move them to something like Temporary: and then delete all the redirects.  Then you can move them back once the new name is set up.   Let me know when you are ready, or if you have any problem.  Regards -- sannse (talk) 10:48, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding. I'm in the process of doing this. Does a similar move have to be performed on the main page, as well as talk pages under the above namespaces? --Sasoriza 00:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Everything's set. All pages under the above namespaces have been moved under a  prefix. (+ I backed up the main page, just in case.) Just to reiterate, we'd like "Database" dropped from the project name, so that it reads "Star Trek Expanded Universe". Please let me know when we can move it all back after the name change, and thanks in advance for your time, help & attention! :) --Sasoriza 07:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there any progress being made on this? I'm perfectly willing to be patient, but we've got some community members getting antsy... --Sasoriza 21:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that! The weekend distracted me.  All done now, and I'll help with the moves back by way of apology ;)  -- sannse (talk) 20:57, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks again! Much appreciated! Have a great Christmas! --Sasoriza 22:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Where is my wiki ?

 * Hello, i've created a new wiki here
 * but i have this text : /* Empty */


 * What can I do ?


 * edit:i was running this whealthy wiki for almost two weeks with no problem, and others wiki are still existent, does it mean my wiki has been wiped out ????? -_-

--KevinSephiroth 23:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kevin, I see the wiki OK, although there are some errors on the page. The technical team have written a fix for this which should be deployed very soon. Sorry about that -- sannse (talk) 11:01, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Monobook Ads at Dofus
Hi, sannse thanks for all your help with the monobook ads issue, seems the past few days this has been resolve. Cheers --Cizagna (Talk) 15:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm glad it's looking better! I can't claim any credit for that though, I'm sorry we couldn't find the problem.  I suspect it may have been a change on the ad server, but it was hard to reproduce :-/  let me or Jae know if it shows up again -- sannse (talk) 18:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you got confuse i was referring to the monobook ads issue that for some reason the width was bigger than the rest and according to Angela she told you about this, The one i reported to you was the Quartz Ads bug with IE its another issue that i reported to you and then you reported to Jae and its still there but i may have nail the issue i will report to Jae as soon as i do more code comparatives so im sure. --Cizagna (Talk) 18:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Images disappeared
Why have the (non-TeX) images disappeared from w:c:en.math? They don't appear to have been deleted. - dcljr 17:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, there was a mistake in the setting for the image directory. I've fixed it now, and images should be visible.    It will take a while for everything to catch up, up to 24 hours.  But after that all should be fine.  Sorry for the problem!  -- sannse (talk) 18:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It's fixed, as far as I can see. Thanks. - dcljr 23:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Narutopedia dispuit
Sannse mind getting in on this one? I'm personally getting tired of all the accusations of rants, slander, being uncalm, and threats to be reported. I suppose you could consider this a request for mediation, because this is getting to the point that the Narutopedia alone doesn't have the resources to handle this besides blocks. Don't worry about the debates on Japanese stuff, I've asked Yukichi to handle that bit.

The discussion is at w:c:naruto:Talk:Haku, but the article has been on hold for long enough. Just because of one user debating something that had previously been consensus on both Wikipedia and Narutopedia the ability to improve the article was removed. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 8, 2007 @ 12:24 (UTC)


 * Ok, my limit of using the spirit of Wikipedia policies to deal with things here has been reached. I've returned to basing things on how they help the wiki. We're basically going along with WP:CIVIL's suggestion of putting a "wall" between the editor and the community. I'm leaving him unblocked for as long as I can, but if he continues reverting good faith edits on the article because they don't follow his statement of keeping the article "gender neutral" I might half to resort to some temp blocks so that other users are still able to improve the article. Could you deal with him? This isn't the kind of thing that the Narutopedia community deals with, and it's likely they'd just opt to block the user if someone else couldn't handle it. I have a feeling that if this were on Wikipedia, it would probably qualify as one of the Lamest edit wars. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 9, 2007 @ 10:44 (UTC)


 * I don't think this is something I can deal with. This has to be worked on by the community and not by someone coming in to "solve" things.  If this is one person disagreeing with the rest of the community, then that community needs to make some firm decisions and inform him that to continue editing there, he needs to follow the consensus.  That may mean blocking him to demonstrate that he needs to listen to the community - it's sad, but it may be needed.  If there are more varieties of opinion, then the task is to try and reflect them in the article in a way all can nearly be happy with, or to find a way to bring those opinions together.  Perhaps this article will just need to be locked for a while, with changes agreed on the talk page - a bit of a pain, but one way of allowing the general opinion to prevail.


 * I think that learning to deal with this sort of dispute is something most communities go though. And staff interfering is likely to harm the community more than help it.  I'm sorry not to be or more help.  -- sannse (talk) 21:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, for now it's a little bit under control. Because he was reverting good faith edits on the article and attacking every comment on the talkpage I temp blocked him and archived the previous discussion. The article is still free for editing by users so that it can be improved, (And trust me this diff shows you how much has been improved, even ignoring what Belive it! added, the article has significantly improved since he was temp blocked). The article is now actually being discussed properly by the existing community only on the talkpage. He'll be unblocked once enough feedback has been added. But if he tries to continue opposing the community and can't accept the consensus then we'll just half to permablock him. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 11, 2007 @ 06:25 (UTC)

 * It works! Thanks! But now I have another question, how can I make a new namespace? This has to be "Krant:" on Wikistad, . Alexandru 18:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I can add this. But you need to make sure that there are no articles with the name Krant:whatever before I do so.  The best thing is to move them to a temp: name, and then they can go back when the namespace is ready -- sannse (talk) 00:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

 * It really hasn't been long since these users edited... try a message on their talk pages, that might help. If not, we'll leave it a bit longer and see if they turn up - we usually consider a wiki abandoned after 2 months.  -- sannse (talk) 00:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Generally there is simply no need to deadmin inactive users, and our policy has always been to just leave them be. I have talked in the past about adding an inactive flag to admins who haven't been around for a while - which could be automatic and still not require reverting if the admin returns (it would automatically go if they started editing again).

Me again
Hi Lisa; me again--Todd from Star Trek Expanded Universe. Can you get someone to purge our wanted pages cache? The list maxes out at 1,000; I've been trying to get to more of them at the end, but those stricken blue links are hampering. Thanks! --Sasoriza 11:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, the queue has been run again, but there are still some faulty entries. It looks like they are all in the "Star Trek Expanded Universe" namespace, so it looks like it's a bug to do with the change of namespace.  I've tried to clear it by deleting w:c:stexpanded:Star Trek Expanded Universe:Policies and guidelines, creating the page, then restoring the old revisions and content.  But we won't know if that works until the next queue run (which is currently happening every 48 hours).

Thanks! I will improve on these 3 and when some new editors come along, I may request for some more to come in. Thanks again! LB22 19:32, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Problem in Arabic uncyclopedia
Hi sannse sorry to bother you again, we made a change in the system messages, and to bee more specific the search button  and the entire site got screwed up , we can’t  log in nor write our passwords, please can somebody delete the last change made in the system which is the search button messages , hopefully that will solve the problem. And we just added another problem, we changed the skin of the site,Not from the monobook but from the special pages using that new feature called customize the wiki and we don’t know how to go back to the original one, We made a big mess and we don’t know how to fix it. we need urgent help, Thanks Classic 971 11:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I need to get some technical help, which I should be able to do very shortly. I'm not sure what's going on here! -- sannse (talk) 17:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It is fixed now, I have no clue how, was it you? Thanks anyway Classic 971 17:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * One of our technical guys got it, and removed the "customize" bit, that's not ready yet :) -- sannse (talk) 17:23, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppet help
Hello, Sannse. I'm here to report on a sockpuppet that's has been vandalazing the Final Fantasy Wiki. We suspect it being the same user, Alte Roit, based on their style of edits. This list is based on their appearance:


 * Edits of User:Alte Roit
 * Edits of IP 89.241.228.12
 * Edits of User:Undying Poet
 * Edits of User:Vagrant Angel

We hope there can be some action as their edits are disruptful and constitutes vandalism. Thanking you in advance. Blue. 15:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I've looked at his IPs, and he is using quite a large ISP with a wide range. That makes it hard to do a rangeblock, firstly because it will be a lot of blocks to catch all his range, and secondly it is very likely that other (good) users will be using the same IP range.  I would suggest you block him as soon as you see him, and be sure to also block the IP he is using (see the options on the block page) -- sannse (talk) 17:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts Wiki
Hello. I come to you, because for a while now, the Kingdom Hearts wiki has been without sysops (and in extension, bureaucrats) since mid-August, leaving it practically unsupervised in that timeframe. I would therefor like to apply for sysop and bureaucrat rights for that wiki, so that I can employ a select few trusty editors to help me clean up the wiki and supervise it. I am already a sysop for the Final Fantasy wiki, which I have been for quite some time, so it is not like I am completely without experience.

My only concern (in the sense of: I don't know how to fix it) is that the former sysop seems to have been messing with the local settings and has created a problem for IE-users, since the "banner" that should have been in the bottom-most part of any page has been fixed in a position where it covers a big part of any page. I took a screenshot to illustrate what I mean.

Anyway, I hope my plea won't go unnoticed.

Sincerely, Hecko X 15:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, it looks like that wikis has the beginnings of a community, so I suggest you set up a page to discuss new admins and try to gather as many people as possible to talk about it. You can invite people on their talk pages, or I can set up a site notice for you.


 * I've looked at the bug in the footer, but I can't reproduce it yet. I'll ask Jae to have a look, he should be able to help.  -- sannse (talk) 17:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I see. I've taken you up on your suggestion and added a discussion topic which can be seen here. I thank you for your time and coorporation and hope that we'll come to a conclusion soon. --Hecko X 18:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. I am not too fond of rushing things, but we've reached somewhat of a standstill in the admin discussion. Amongst those who signed up, I know that two of them will make excellent sysops, and we have even made a plan of stuff to start working on, however, everything more or less have to start off with mass-deletion of various stuff that really aren't needed, because we want to clean out the place before we start with our expansions, in order to make it easier for ourselves. So I was hoping that we could either speed up the granting of sysop rights process, or at least get a name of someone we can contact, who can delete all the pages, we mark for deletion, during their christmas holiday (which we would rather avoid, since none of us a comfortable with making someone else do our dirty-work during their time off). We of course hope to get more sysops (up to a maximum of 6) as we go along and people show that they are fully capable, but we can't make anything but minor edits until we get some sysops. --Hecko X 18:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Sorry, missed this one! I've left a message there. -- sannse (talk) 21:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Dutch Dofus wikia
Hi, don't know what needs to be done about that, but the Dutch Dofus wikia has only had 52 pages added in one year, nothing added since june but garbage and rude words that are left unpatrolled (eg. their Iop page just says 'you mother is a whore', 'yours too'). I don't think it's good for Wikia's image... --Lirielle 16:11, 19 December 2007 (UTC) (a sysop on the English Dofus wikia)


 * Hi, is there anyone who would look after the wiki? Even if not editing there, they could check very few days for spam and problems... maybe you?  That's what's been done for other inactive language versions of different wikis, and Ithink it would work well here.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:44, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Translation work is so hard because there isn't a guide on how to translate a wiki, and more when you are talking about game stuff since you could do the article in the original name and then all the content in the corresponding language, then there is the one where one can translate the article names but since the name in the first place is subjective a proper translation cant be done, then like Ankama (dofus game developers) has fully translate the game in 4 languages what language you pick as base? the english or the french (original from the game) or spanish or deutch?, for now the rest are more like wannabe wikis, since they know that they want to translate but how to do it is the problem and thats very depressing --Cizagna (Talk) 21:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Namespace on ru.starcraft wiki
Hi, could you please rename a project namespace on ru.starcraft wiki to 'StarCraft'? There're no pages in it yet. Медиа (Media) 19:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, this is done. -- sannse (talk) 11:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

How can I get rid of the
Most of the users in the Arabic uncyclopedia have been complaining about the ads on the site, they are too big and located on the far left in a way that they overlap on the articles, is there away to make some changes and get rid of that hassle or at least make it smaller that it won't overlap on the articles, this might be due to the fact that arabic is written from right to left ? the other problem is we are having the GNU FDL License banner at the middle of the page insted of being at the end, thanks for all your help Classic 971 09:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, we can't remove the adverts, they are what pays for the free hosting! But they shouldn't be overlapping the articles.  The first thing to check is that you haven't any tables or images that are simply too big for everything to fit in.  On some screen resolutions you need to take care that you don't fill the with too much or things will start to overlap.  But if this isn't the case, then perhaps you could take a screenshot of the problem?  With that, and the exact title of the pages affected, I can look more closely.  The problem with the footer being too high on IE6 is a known one - our tech guys hope to have that fixed soon.  -- sannse (talk) 12:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Recurring multi-wiki troll is back
Multi-banned multi-wiki troll popped up again, with the IP 69.228.37.218, at http://transformers.wikia.com. If it's not the same creature, I'll eat my hat. It's doing what it always does as soon as it appears, and I give it five minutes before it starts flinging invective all over the place as normal. It's already started on pleading for "ban policies". --M Sipher 19:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, the best thing to do is simply ban each problem account as it shows up, and ignore as much as possible. Please email me at sannse [at] gmail [dot] com if you want to talk this over some more.  Thanks :) -- sannse (talk) 12:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Unblock me Please
Hey there, I apologize for doing this...again, but can you unblock me at Halopedia? I was unjustly blocked there. The story is, according to me, but you can ask others, is that I was accused of HBot being a vandal bot. There was no proof of this. They banned HBot on Halopedia so I said, rhetorically: "If he is a vandal bot, then ban me". Again, I know you are getting tired of this stuff, but it would be nice to have the record straight. Thanks again...again, H*bad (talk)
 * As you were informed on IRC, staff have as minimal involvement as possible, and none of the other admins or the any of the community at Halopedia have contested your block. Community consensus is required for bot flag approval and you unfortunately you did not get that approval. And stuff like this:, doesn't help you get consensus or help your case for unblocking. -- 23:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't told on IRC. I know that they have already. Look, GPT blocked me for saying a rhetorical statement. Thanks, H*bad (talk)
 * http://wikia.pastey.net/79415 -- 00:22, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Must not of seen that. Still my point is still valid. Thanks, H*bad (talk)

Sannse, if you do end up getting involved, RelentlessRecusant told me H*bad said he had a vandal bot that could destroy our 4,000 pages in 80 seconds. I only "[did] the honors", as RR suggested. Ask him or Manticore for logs. Forgottenlord was there too, apparently, as he suggested the pre-emptive ban in the first place. Dragonclaws, who came online before any of the blocks, agreed with them. As I have shown numerous times, I'm not a rhetorical person, so H*bad's use of it was a very bad idea. I am not going to unban him just because I now have that knowledge, because banning him as well is a good idea, and I must congratulate him on it. Sorry to be such a bother... I talked to JSharp a bit aboot it, ask him for details--specifically, the last thing I suggested. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 00:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, if you check your history, the IP who edited just before me removing all these comments except H*bad's first one edited from a proxy called hidemyass.com, which H*bad has a history of using... I know him well enough to predict him, and based on how he's acted in the past, I'm sure that was him. /me starts whistling and walking away casually like he didn't just say that -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 01:07, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Without any proof, it is a prejudiced idea. Now then, you have no proof that HBot was a vandal bot, but the original was built from a vandal bot, that's all. Now you accuse me of building another without proof? How is that justice? A preemptive block has nothing without proof. Show me in the programming of my bot that I have vandal bot add ons...oh that's right you can't. Sorry, but this is not a valid reason. This idea is debunked. You, RR, and who ever else have been trying to get rid of me for a while and have been trying to find the smallest thing that I do "wrong", even though I haven't, you will block me. How is that justice? You can't just block someone for not liking them. If you don't like me, then just don't talk to me. Thanks, H*bad (talk)


 * As I have found out, HBot was not a vandal bot, and that HBad was being sarcastic to GPT when he said "Block me if I have a vandal bot on halopedia" -- 05:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

This block is long overdue. H*bad faking his death and pretending to be his sister informing us of his passing has upset a number of community members. His actions are despicable, and I wholeheartedly endorse his block. -- Manticore   (talk)  06:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wholeheartedly agree as per Manticore. Sannse, ma'am -- HBad claimed to have a wiki bot that could vandalize all of Halopedia's 4000 pages in 80 seconds. There were other people in the channel at the time, and I'm sure I could retrieve logs that document this as well. It is my responsibility as a Halopedia administrator to ensure that a potential vandal bot does not enter Halopedia. When I asked HBad explicitly not to run his bot on Halopedia without community concensus, he said 'I can do it anyways' (I can pull up the exact phrase). Upon this, the four out of five Halopedia administrators I spoke to agreed to block HBot. As for HBad, I believe GPT might have been a little rash in blocking HBad as per his somewhat bemused statement. However, there is an entire list of grievances HBad has committed, including believed sockpuppetry, believed account hijacking, and so on and so forth. I would be glad to speak to you privately with the other Halopedia administrators regarding HBad. Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 08:14, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I just want to make sure that this is clear, all of this is speculation towards me. None of which has proof, for those of whom have said that I have been rightfully blocked because of all of these "facts". Thanks, H*bad (talk)

Gah, sorry I wasn't around to reply to all this, I'm just catching up! H*bad, as said above, this is the Halopedia admins' decision. And frankly, with your behaviour recently, I'm not in the least surprised they are no longer willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I suggest you edit elsewhere, and discuss this with the admins again in the future. -- sannse (talk) 08:31, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

But I didn't do anything wrong. Isn't there something against unjustifiable blocks? I mean you have to be able to keep some type of control over admins of wikis. The only thing that they have against me is my killing myself off. Which I have a good reason for it. If they don't believe me then that's their problems. If wikia can't control what goes on, then why even have staff? I understand what the staff are for, but even you know that they have nothing on me. I can't be an admin of a wiki, where I am banned at the other knowledge base. I understand their problems, but if they have a problem then take me off of the ability to get anywhere on Halopedia. I completely level with them, except for the fact that they have nothing. If they had something on me, like proof, then I would shut up. But since their's nothing, I have to say something. Now sannse, I understand that you aren't supposed to get involved and I agree with that, except their "stuff that they have on me", has nothing to back it up, except theories. I gave up on vandalizing, but they won't believe it. Even before now, this problem has been spawning for a while and frankly I have tried to be nice to them, I have tried everything that I can. I don't want to be the villian/victim of this, but it's come to it. Thanks, H*bad (talk)

The Norwegian Sims Wiki
The Norwegian Sims wiki is a total mess, and no one is editing it anymore. I want to halp, but i cant delete articles, so I ask you to make me admin, or delete all the articles in the wiki, so my friends and I can make it a good wiki again. http://no.sims.wikia.com/wiki/Hovedside


 * Is there really a need to delete all articles? It's a wiki after all, it's often better to edit and improve rather than delete. -- sannse (talk) 08:34, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Log out question
Hi, I think we've spoken on the wikia IRC before but I'm not sure. I have a question which is quite hard to explain, if you don't understand then please let me know and I'll try again.

I usually log in on my computer and I forget to log out. When I go on the next day I'm still logged in, even though I didn't ask it to remember me or anything. I logged in on another computer and I forgot to log out. No one can acess the computer for two weeks, and then they can only acess the Ratchet & Clank Wiki out of the wikias. I'm concerned about somone misusing my profile on that wiki after two weeks. Is there a way to log me out on another computer? If it will log me out on every computer I don't mind, aslong as I can log back in. If I'm not happy in two weeeks time I might ask to be temporarily blocked on the Ratchet & Clank wiki to stop anyone misusing my account untill I can log out, unless there is another way. I might not still be logged in on that computer, as I might be wrong about it keeping me logged in.

Please reply on my talk page on SWGames (The talk link in my sig for this comment) thanks, Hunterj on SWGames|My talk on SWGames

problem reports widget idea
no need to reply, just stick this in your head/todo bucket.

it would be kinda nice if the PR widget would NOT show tickets marked as "need staff help" since these tend sit for a while

-Uberfuzzy 19:59, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Would be rather better if we didn't let them sit :-/ let's work on that over the new year, and see what's needed.  Jae has got our email flowing well now, so if we can get Report a Problem working, things will really have improved -- sannse (talk) 22:07, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

AWB
Hi,

After a little googling, i've read that you are the person among the saff who was the principal supporter of AutoWikiBrowser. So, are you aware that this software isn't working anymore on Wikia ? The situation is here since many moths now with no apparent progress. I understand that currently there's more important matters like the bugs with the recent update but i've still posted a big comment on AWB's page. I wasn't going to contact any staff this soon, but after seen your involvements with this project... Maybe we can discuss it some at AWB's talk page. — TulipVorlax 06:22, 26 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I was under the impression that it's currently working for Wikia. Philip from Puppets Wikia was using it recently.  You do have to be on the access list though, is that the problem? -- sannse (talk) 22:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Joepedia adminship
I would like to apply for adminship of the G.I. Joe wiki. I know you're going to tell me to contact the original admin. I did talk with the originator of the wiki, User:Wudstar but he told me he didn't know how to turn me into an administrator. I told him to contact the community staff for help but has not replied to me if he has done so. --Destron Commander 06:31, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Cross-posted from accidental placement in talk archives. -- 06:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

It looks like there are other active contributors there, in particular NebulanFree. Have you talked to the other active people about who should be admin? Remembering there can be more than one of course :) -- sannse (talk) 22:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, NebulanFree is a fellow contributor just like me. According to Joepedia's list, the only one listed there is Wudstar. He should be able to turn me into one, him being the wiki's creator, he'd like to but he doesn't know how. Currently, there are no current active admin (Wudstar is but he's been too busy on his own and left the wiki) and since I've done so much to get the site busy and attract visitors. So, I'm now asking for your help. --Destron Commander 14:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Forum namespace in fi.wikia
Hi sannse, could you please change forum namespace name (NS 110) at fi.wikia? The current name is "Foruumi", but that's misspelled and the correct form would be Foorumi. Thanks in advance! :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:49, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The only part of TOR's message about this I understood was "fixed" ;) It should show as done on the wiki in a few days (the fix is in a future revision) -- sannse (talk) 22:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
We've got a vandal attack from IP 66.212.28.34 in FFWiki. We have no admins logged in here so far. Could you help? Blue. 13:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahaha, never mind. Sorry to bother you. Blue. 13:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Resignation
I ask you, after much deliberation, to take away my admin powers from me on Halo Fanon. I am a vandal. I have vandalized this wiki just by being on it. I have corrupted some of the minds of the community by turning them against the other admins. I am corrupt and I am a vandal. I need my powers taken away immediately before I do anything bad. I thank everyone for giving me a chance to perhaps change, but I can not. Once a vandal always a vandal. I can't be trusted. I can't be anything. I went thinking that I could change, but I can't become better than what I was and am. I am sorry for ever even trying. Thanks for your time, H*bad (talk)


 * How about you simply don't act as an admin for a while, and then get back to me. Give it a week and we'll talk. -- sannse (talk) 22:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I guess a week would be enough to get my affairs in order. I will get back to you on Saturday.--H*bad (talk) 05:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I was given an offer on staying that I couldn't refuse. But I won't be a part of the admin team for a long time, but I still communicate yes, but not use my admin powers. I will discuss everything to you when I can. Thanks, H*bad (talk)

Thank you
Thank you for your help with the interwikis, the name change and adminship of the Polish edition. I'm giving you a real Dutch tulip for it :). --Karsten vK (talk) 19:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Quartz links at the bottom
Hi Lisa, I have to run off to dinner but since you're around, I was pondering this today. Like I said in chat: speaking of ads, i'm wrestling with how to approach SocietyOfRobots.com about moving their site here...they're looking for a new host, they have almost 300K views per month, and more important, they're just the right kind of people...very wikipedish in their passion and values. But I was wondering if they would want to move to a site where the last 8 lines of every screen are devoted to game links and other wikia-specific stuff...that wouldn't look right on their messageboards, or at least they might think so. Obviously, they'd be willing to do a lot for free hosting, I imagine, but I notice that the Star Trek wiki in Wikia doesn't have all that stuff at the bottom, is that an option for a new wiki? - Dan Dank55 21:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Memory Alpha mostly still uses monobook skin, that's why the links aren't at the bottom. I'm not sure what would be allowed for a new wiki, although it does get awkward to maintain many wikis if there are too many special cases.  The best person to talk to about this is Angela, she handles a lot of moving wikis, and will know more than I.  -- sannse (talk) 21:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks...ah, I didn't know it was due to monobook. I'll talk with Angela and the guys over at SocietyOfRobots.com and see if they're interested, and if so, if we can get a meeting of the minds, I really don't have any idea what they want.  Their site has a certain Spartan look to it. - Dan Dank55 22:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Blocking Policy pages
Can I ask you to please protect all Blocking Policy pages?(EDD! 00:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC))

Ban against italian IP
Excuse me, I would like to complain about the ban against Italian users. I don't think it's democratic nor useful to ban an entire nation for a few cases of vandalism. Moreover, there are some pages about Italy, which contains only quotes from the videogame super Mario, and other pages with absolutely uncorrect quotes in italian. If you allow us to help, we'd help to correct some really horrible mistakes. Thank you for considering my request. I'm looking forward to the end of this ban. You can contact me here http://nonciclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Leonidas91

Best wishes, Andrea


 * Hi. Are you talking about the ban in Uncyclopedia?  That's the decision of the Uncyclopedia admins (yes, I am one, but I'm talking as staff here).  The feeling was that there was simply so much vandalism from that range, that it was better to block it even though that would be inconvenient for some users.  It's not the whole of Italy of course, just one ISP (though a large one).  If the problem user in question has moved on, then it might be possible to remove the ban.  But last I heard he was still causing problems around Wikia. -- sannse (talk) 12:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Namespaces
Hello Sannse, I have a small request concerning namespaces on pl.mightandmagic Wikia. I would like to change the Project namespace (ns2) name, from the de facto wiki name into Meta:, and also add two more: Might and Magic: and Heroes:. I've made similar request about another wiki a year ago and you passed me to another person - however, either I cannot use the Wikia search engines, or this person vanished somehow :P Please, answer me on pl.mightandmagic. Have a nice day and thank you in advance for your help. Michał 16:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've done this.  Since last time you asked we've been given new tools, so any member of the community team can help with this now :) -- sannse (talk) 13:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

IP/Possible sockpuppet
Hi Sannse, this is Brandon Rhea from the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. Could you please tell me if two users, Taelm360 and Nephlyte348, share the same IP address? I have a hunch that the former may be a sockpuppet of the latter being used to vote for themselves in a community awards event, so I just want to make sure that this user isn't breaking our Voting Policy and Sockpuppet Policy. You can put your answer here or on my talk page on Star Wars Fanon. Whatever's easier for you. - Brandon Rhea 00:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. No, there isn't a match on IPs.  Of course, that doesn't always mean there isn't a match on users, but I can't verify it this way. -- sannse (talk) 19:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Joepedia adminship: election?
There are, as far as i know, only 2 active contributors. Me and NebulanFree. The rest are minor. Is there no way to turn me into an administrator? --Destron Commander 05:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry I missed your previous message. Yes, I can make you an admin, but I think it would be rather rude to the other active contributor to do so without his input - and without the possibility of him also becoming an admin.  And this could be a great opportunity to get those minor editors involved!  I'm not saying you need to have a big election, but I think that a discussion between you and NebulanFree and anyone else willing to get involved would be a good thing to do -- sannse (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Namespace and interwikis
Hi, could you please rename a project talk namespace on ru.solutions wiki? It's "Обсуждение_ВикиПрохождения" now, but needs to be "Обсуждение_ВикиПрохождений". There aren't any pages in that namespace yet. And it would be great if ru.starcraft and starcraft wikis could be crosslinked by en: and ru: interwikis. Could you please setup it? Thank you. Медиа (Media) 09:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done and done. The namespace change should show up fast, the interwikis within the next 24 hours.  Can you check the namespace?  The project namespace is set as "ВикиПрохождения", it's correct that the talk namespace is different?  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 21:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is correct. In Russian genitive form is different for many words (including "ВикиПрохождения"). Normally every Russian wiki should have customized project_talk namespace. Maybe we should add two fields to a new wiki request form: project namespace title (it offen is not the same as ) and project talk namespace. Медиа (Media) 11:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

interwiki templates
Hi Sannse! Hope you had great holidays.

I noticed certain Central-based interwiki templates aren't propagating across wikias. Case in point: startrekfooter, here (jump to the bottom). I've tried w:c: and all that. Any idea why or how to fix it? Thanks, --Sasoriza 22:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * To add on to that, starwarsfooter isn't working either. - Brandon Rhea 03:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the report both, it's been passed to the technical team, hopefully they will have a solution soon -- sannse (talk) 20:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Coen Brothers Wiki
Hiya sannse! I've been told by people that you might be the one to ask about having a Portal namespace added to the Coen Brothers Wiki. Gonk and I already have categories set up for the movies, but we'd really like to see something like Portals instead, much like on Wikipedia (and are there other wikis here with that?). At any rate, let me know if it's possible, and whether you think it's practical, and whether you could do it for us. Thanksamillion! Graestan ( Talk ) 07:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can do that. Just to confirm, you want an additional namespace called "Portal" (with "Portal talk") yes?  -- sannse (talk) 20:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be quite nice, and much appreciated. Thank you! Graestan ( Talk ) 16:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

She never did remember to get these like I predicted :) -- 06:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hidding rigth side menu
Hi, Sannse i found this its a very nice javascript that hides the right side menu of quartz and im curious to know if it does not go against any of the wikia policy (since i want to use it), mostly because it does not do an automatic hide but rather one has to manually hide it by clicking. --Cizagna (Talk) 19:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
