Fair use
Hi. We would like to know the staff opinion about using fair use in non-English wikias, particularly in wikis written in Spanish. From what I have read, it only works for people living in the USA. This forum was created to know about this: Forum:About Fair use. I hope you can help us clarify this issue. We need to know that in order to know what to do with images in w:c:arte and w:c:literatura. --Davinci - talk 18:43, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning
When updating licensing to CC-BY-SA-3.0, why some languages of MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning weren't taken affect?

for some example...


 * MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-hk
 * MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-sg
 * MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-hans

I didn't know in other languages were also.....???? (For example: es, pl, pt are currently OK, but zh-hk, zh-hans, zh-hant)

Should it be checked up? Rico Shen contact... 05:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It's because whoever translated it didn't use "$2" for the license. That's why those messages didn't take affect. You need to translate the message and be sure to translate the actual message: "All contributions to are considered to be released under the  $2 (see $1 for details)."-- BlueDevil  Talk 17:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Possible vandal
Please help me keep an eye on the userpage of ChrisChanSonichu as he is obviously a sensitive person and at Wikiindex where I am an administrator I had to delete vicious obscene insults on his userpage. On his talk page I suggested Autism Wiki and the trolls who tried to trash his Wikiindex Userpage may follow him to Autism Wiki. Autism Wiki isn’t very active at the moment, so we may need to make sure that any vandalism is removed and the vandals are blocked promptly. I didn’t realize that the wiki isn’t active when I suggested that he go there. Proxima Centauri 16:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Caught in an IP ban on the Half-Life wiki.
Yesterday, an admin at the Half-Life wiki, Klow, rebanned a banned user, Mega Sean 45. However, when Mega Sean was rebanned, I was banned as well. It claims that Mega Sean has used my IP. I have no connection to Mega Sean 45 and I have proven this to Klow via him unblocking then blocking Mega Sean. When that happened, I was able to edit again. However, I have now been blocked again. Would it be possible to set a ban exception for my IP so that I don't get caught in Mega Sean's ban? Darkman 4 03:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

What's this?
These green "Infolinks" thingys keep appearing randomly all over Wikia for me. What's going on?--Akamia 03:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It was from a small test for a few wikis that messed up and affected all wikis. it'll be fixed very soon. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  04:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope so. They are very annoying. Tardis1963 04:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

1 year for relatively minor stuff huh?
lucky for us both, hardly anyone REALLY seems to use the survivor wiki pages but 1 year for that? Oh well, that is what mobile devices and libraries are for anyway. Note that I did not use any profanity, and stuff that was not favorable but within scope of article was also edited out. Whippletheduck 05:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Disabling of accounts
How the hell can you disable an account?--The prefessional launchballer is very resourceful. 15:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't know how disabling an account is possible.--The prefessional launchballer is very resourceful. 17:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you asking How I did it? I'm wikia staff, we have tools to do these things. It scrambles the password to a random string, and blankes the email, and does some other database stuff. --Uberfuzzy 17:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that.--The prefessional launchballer is very resourceful. 11:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Template display
Hi Uberfuzzy. I have some problems over at the Megami Tensei Wiki where I tried to use the "Template:Template Display" to display Userboxes over at its special Userbox page. When adding special parameters like "date" or "name" using the "param=" line, the link to the template instead points to a non-existent "Template:Tlp". The templates that I used were "T1" and "Tl", and I disregard use of "Template:T" because I don't know how to use it. Help please?  BLUER   一番   10:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Dont see it anymore, did you fix it? --Uberfuzzy 17:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think I did. Actually, I don't know if what I did worked. My point of reference was finalfantasy.wikia.com, but they use different templates. So I'm not sure how to make "template display" work.  BLUER   一番   03:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Babylon 8
The dozens of users formerly known as Babylon 8 once again vandalized Star Wars Fanon today, using obscene account names based on slandering and insulting me, despite the fact that you blocked a number of the IPs yesterday. Clearly this user is making use of a proxy, so could you please block the email address that is being used? I just want this to stop. It's ridiculous. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * he's doing it from an iphone, so theres lots of ip ranges they use. I'll block them as they get used. I'm also enabling some other protections for that wiki to try to slowdown/stop him. --Uberfuzzy 02:26, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate it. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 13:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Five additional accounts were created today. Could you block those IPs? Thanks. Also, is there a way to block account creation with certain words? For example, could you prevent the creation of accounts that have the words "Kill", "Fuck", "Brandon", "Cock", etc. in them? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Make that eight accounts plus a spree of vandalism. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Namespace
Hi, I need a Namespace for Walkthroughs (Guías in spanish) for my Final Fantasy wiki in spanish, I need it because these are walkthrough and not normal articles. Please I need help.

Justice wanted
I've been blocked infinitely from The Elder Scrolls Wiki for "Being a voice of dissent". User:Galaactica and User:Rpeh were blocked for similar reasons. This means that all three of us were blocked for exercising our Freedom of Speech. I would like these unjust blocks removed. Unfortunately, that may not be enough. User:KickAssJedi and User:Xell Khaar are out of control; their administrative status may have to be removed. KickAssJedi has also changed the rights of most of the users; I would like to have those changes reverse. If I need administrative powers in order to ensure that these injustices don't happen again (or to reverse future injustices), I would gladly accept that duty, but that may not be necessary. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You can always request a database dump and use it to set up your own wiki.Wikia is lettingyou create duplicate wikis. -- ◄mendel► 11:06, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't want to create a new wiki. I want to fix the original wiki. Just look at w:c:elderscrolls:Special:Log/block; it's madness; even Angela was blocked. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In addition, most of the Database dumps hasn't been updated since June 13. A month's worth of edits will be lost. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Listen, eight users, including myself, have been unjustly blocked, and they've been blocked for a few days already. Those users are expecting me to resolve this matter in a timely matter. Unfortunately, I can't do this on my own. That is why I need help from users like you. Really, this injustice shouldn't last this long. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:53, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Primal Wiki
Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me who the admin is on the Primal wiki. It's pretty deserted and it seems like just me and Jove The Hacker are the only ones contributing (and that's only since about a month ago when JTH started to). I've done a fair bit today, adding a logo, REALLY fleshing out character pages and adding images (along with the logo and soon FavIcon as well). I was just wondering if you could pass admin rights onto myself and Jove The Hacker because I can't change the look of the wiki or, to my knowledge, create templates and these are musts to get the wiki up to standard.--Benxander 22:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to edit the Bionicle Sets and Creations Wiki, Its says you block the IP address. I use that one but I have done nothing and now I cannot edit there. Please Help me. King Donfin  You seem familiar. Have I threatened you before???!!! 23:09, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser transfer
Hello Uber, since you were the one to originally give four admins on the RuneScape wiki the checkuser tool I'd like to ask a favor. Andorin one of the four checkusers is now inactive, therefore if you could switch the tool to this trusted admin it would certainly be appreciated in filling the gap left by Andorin's sporadic activity. Many thanks.-- 23:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for making Soldier a check user, however, we also intended to remove the tool from Andorin in order to keep the list as short as possible to only active administrators, feel free to remove it when you have time, as it's not urgent or anything.-- 22:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Death threats
I sent you another e-mail. More won't come in for a bit, since I've turned off the ability for users to contact me via the e-mail function, but now he's vandalizing and talking to me on other wikis. One was on Darthipedia, another was right here in your own back yard. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * There's also this from Darthipedia, where your user page and talk page were also hit. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

There's also now this, this, this, and this. He seems to have stopped at SWF, but now he's coming after me on Darthipedia and here at Wikia Central. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I hate to keep spamming your talk page, but here. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:49, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Again, and he's also been making pages here at Wikia Central saying to kill Angela. I believe your 'compilation' is coming along quite nicely. ;) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Here. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

First one in a couple of days. You'll also notice the blatant and willful troll feeding on the part of Darthipedia, but whatever. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 04:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd just like to point out that my previous message, regardless of how it may of been interpreted, was not meant to be seen as whining or complaining. Darthipedia can run their wiki any way they want to. I had no reason to whine because one click on the link would have shown you what it was. I just wanted to make you aware of why that mass deletion template from Star Wars Fanon was on the blocked user's talk page and user page. Sorry if there was any confusion about that. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:51, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Moving wikis
Curently, the Dutch Final Fantasy wiki is located at nl.ffantasy. Currently there is one page other than the main article and no proper activity recently. At such an early time in the wikis lifespan, can I request the wiki be moved to "nl.finalfantasy.wikia.com" to be consistent with all of the other Final Fantasy wikis? 20:54, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Vandal on kingdomhearts wiki

Takeover
Well this did come as a surprise. It seems a user has hacked into this wiki's creators account (who recently left wikia) and has made himself and one of his friends Bureaucrat, and have proceeded to delete every article and block every regular editor (apart from, as far as I know, myself). Does this happen often? Any recommended course of action? Anything you think would be helpful? I’m also particularly annoyed as this development ruins my own plans of betrayal, but meh. 13:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Amy Cotton has left Wikia and requested deletion of said wiki. I think that's what I read. 13:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * OMGz, it's happening again. When did I come into all this? I never even cared about Amy Cotton, never even went into any of her chats yet I keep on coming back into this. 13:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, looks like it's been hacked. 13:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Wiki Deletion...
Hello. Recently, a wiki that a lot of users were on was deleted. The Vandalism wiki was deleted for a reason no one ever told us. Can you please, restore it, as it is just a wiki for humor and Wikia members to have fun. We aren't trying to encourage vandalism on all of Wikia. Can you please restore the Wikia, as our members were just trying to have fun and enjoy it... Thank you. --<font face="Calligrapher" color="darkgray"> Alxeedo TALK... OR ELSE (Contribs|Editcount)

My banning
Hi again. I notice that I have been banned from all of Wikia for a year because of "vandalism or other disruption". I'm assuming that that is because of my vandalism of the LightVDarkness wiki. Yeah, it was technically vandalsim, but just look at the rest of the vandalism in that place. Seriously, mine is by far a much lesser evil. Heck, mine was in good taste. If that place is ever rebuilt, I'd be more that willing to revert my vandalism myself (then leave the place, for obvious reasons). If that is all cleared up, I would like the banned ended. Thank you for your time. 86.10.20.40 17:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Question about uploaded Images.
Hi Uberfuzzy.

If a user takes a few images and uploads them to a wiki, can he request for them to be deleted for no particular reason? Or does the user need a valid reason on why they should be deleted?

Dan.
 * It really depends on the policy of the wiki. Most usually honor the request of the person who uploaded them with very little question asking (unless they are some much used/important image). Throw a tag on it and see what happens. --Uberfuzzy 06:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey. A little more info about the issue. Dan and I are co-bureaucrats on Bully Wiki.  We couldn't decide whether to delete the images or not  - he's for deleting them, I'm against - so he decided to ask you.


 * The images are screenshots of a videogame, specifically, closeups of the faces of characters.


 * They were uploaded by a guy named MIK83. A little over a month after uploading them, MIK83 tried to remove them himself, apparently because he thought they had copyright issues .  He then asked on my talk page if I could delete the images for him without giving a reason.  Dan saw the request before I did and deleted them, I restored them as they were being heavily used, each one on 3 different pages, and since MIK83 didn't give a reason I viewed it as an unreasonable request.


 * I posted on MIK83's talk page asking him to explain why he wanted them deleted. He hasn't responded yet.  McJeff 23:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * In my opinion if a user took them pictures and then uploads them on a wiki, and then requests to have them deleted, even without a reason, then I do not see that as an unreasonable request. Dan the Man 1983 00:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

My ban, again
Firstly, I do not appreciate being banned on my sister’s birthday, real nice. Despite words from other users who have presumed that the reason I’m blocked is different to what you have said (“ A precaution in case your account has been compromised, I'm thinking” (Ose also said something, but I can’t remember what exactly) I know that am I banned because of my vandalism of the LVD wiki, because you were so kind to clarify that for me on the IRC. I was a regular editor at the LVD wiki (and by “editor” I do not mean vandalizer) and knew from the start that it would be eventually be deleted. I was, nevertheless, shocked when the place got taken over and trashed by Andrewrox and some impersonator. My first reaction was to contact the higher ups, proof being here, and let them know. As the place had been all but destroyed (no understatement, all of the articles had been deleted and, as far as I know, I was the only regular contributor that had not been banned (ironically, if they had flipping banned me along with the rest, we would not be having the conversation in the first place -_-)), I figured that, as I had put in some of my own effort into the wiki, and the fact that it would be gone any hour at that point, I figured I may as well have some fun with it while I could. Yes, I know alot of you are going to jump at that word, but if wikia cares at all about fair judgement, then I should be judged on my particular edits and them compared to everyone else’s actions/edits. I made about five edits that could be considered vandalism (although the term “vandalism” itself is debateable in my opinion). Tired as I am, I will attempt to list the edits that have apparently warranted me a year ban everywhere. Firstly, I reverted an attempt to fix the main page by someone I don’t know, I can’t really defend that one, so I apologise. I made articles for the FF Wiki and the KH Wiki, most because they were linked to on the sidebar (okay, I know that you knew that already as you are the one who returned the sidebar to normal, but for those reading this who are not in the know...) and it was pointless really to have them not leading to anything (I accept that pretty much every edit to that wiki was pointless considering). The KHWiki one basically said that they should go there (KH Wiki) instead of here (LVD Wiki), which.... is free advertising? The FFWiki page said something like:

''' “FFWiki > KHWiki. Law of physics.” '''

While that statement is debatable, and probably biased, the FFWiki does have more articles. Plus I’m entitled to an opinion. I’m going to sleep now, I’ll probably bring up the rest whenever. Damn internet drama, I only joined the LVD wiki in the first place so that I could make more mainspace edits, kinda ironic since this stupid ban slows my recent activity down completely (I’m the only admin left at the Monster Wiki, excluding its creator), and that includes mainspace edits... 01:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Vandal problem
Heeeey there. I pinged Angela already but might as well beg for your help too. We have a vandal problem that I'm afraid it's becomming quite serious at the Kingdom Hearts wiki He/she claims to have a proxy... thing... that changes his IP adress constantly so it's pretty pointless to ban all his IPs (that and the admins are currently offline, probably due to time differences) Is there a way you can help us? Pretty please? --Yer mom 22:00, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
