Log in problems
Hi Sannse. After a long gap, I am here and I feel happy talking to you : It seems unusual, but I am facing some problems in logging on as discussed with Danny on his talk page:. Perhpas matter is being resolved. I am seeking your help. Thanks. --Bhadani (talk ) 02:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Bhadani, good to see you again. This should go away if you clear your cache and cookies.  If you use IE, then go to "tools" > "internet options" > "delete cookies" and "delete files".  I've also cleared some files server-side, so hopefully this will do it.  -- Sannse 19:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

AutoWiki Browser move
Hi Sannse, remember this conversation we had a while back? Wikia talk:AutoWikiBrowser - well, it seemed like you were saying it would be a bad idea to move it. But I just noticed someone moved it ... I asked him about it on his talk page, but his userpage says he's just "passing through", so I'm not sure he'll ever see it. Should it be moved back?  Scott ch  21:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * MaxSem is working on AWB, and making sure it works on Wikia (it's a more complete version than the one we were using here), that's why he moved the page. We might have to have one in each position for a while, but I'll ask him about that.  Thanks for letting me know -- Sannse 21:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * As i just expand on the AWB page, not of a big issue as that is not a default page that MWB looks for or AWB but dont know what MaxSem has in mind for the General check list of Wikia speaking of which he has already coded something with our own wikia project instead of custom (so exiting). --Cizagna (Talk) 01:54, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

AWB update
Sannse just to inform you here, here and here it has been already coded our requests, so we just need to wait for the next version to be compiled and officially release and that the tech team has the .php files here at wikia for a more smooth working of the program --Cizagna (Talk) 04:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Cizagna, that's great news :) -- Sannse 10:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Botstatus
Hi, sorry to bother you but is it possible to give w:c:stad:Gebruiker:Staatsbot the botstatus? I have already asked Angela but she isn't responding. Now I'm searching after all (active) staffmembers. I hope you will answer quickly. (P.S.: Sorry for my bad English, I'm a Belgian :p ) Geleyns 08:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Angela just gave the status. Thanks anyway. Geleyns 09:12, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Sub-Category
God this is embarrassing...do you know how to code Sub-Category's?--Bucketruck 15:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Simply create a category page and add it to another category, just as you would a page (i.e., ).  That will list category A within category B as a sub-category. ~WestonWyse ! 15:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Trolls invading Arabic uncyclopedia
Hi Sannse, it is me again, the Arabic section has been invaded lately by one user who uses multiple accounts and It’s only purpose is to vandalize the site, is there a away to check the IP of the following users so I can block it for good.

Saudi, Omar86 , البتراء , محمد سمير السعيد حسانين , مخرب ,  عمك الشيخ ساطي صب قهوه يا عواد,

متعب, ترول , Ahmed Elzeini , Azdiyy

Thanks Classic 971 22:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I wasn't able to get an IP for most of those names, and those I did varied. Two were AOL, but in different countries.  Another was a different large IP.  So it looks as though you may have more than one vandal, and will need to keep blocking.  I can look again if you have more, but it's best if you ask before you delete all the pages, that makes things easier :)  Thanks -- Sannse 09:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

ToonTown Wikia
It's going pretty well, but other ToonTown fansites aren't letting me say anything about the wiki because "it can be edited by anyone". I guess it's a valid concern considering ToonTown is, ahem, tuned towards 7+ year-old kids, but... Well, second problem, Toontown.com's terms of use state I can't use any graphics from their website, so I had to make a logo from screencaps of my toons on my login screen in the game, hehe. (I didn't find any terms of use for Toontown, unless they were hidden somewhere else)

I just talked your ear off, didn't I? :| Oddlyoko talk 19:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds good! You could also consider a logo that suggests the game - like the name "ToonTown Wiki" in the right sort of text.  There are always ways of making something that works.  Glad to see you in the IRC channel too :) -- Sannse 19:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Single 24um
Hello, I'm co-founder and administrator at Wiki 24. I'm trying to create a forum for the site, but it doesn't seem to be working. The problem may stem from me circumventing the "Forum:Index" page and just going straight to a single forum. Is it necessary to have an index with multiple forums, or can I set up only one all-purpose forum? Your help would be immensely appreciated! --Proudhug 20:25, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem was you didn't have the proper category matching for the tag (set to ) and the Forum preload template (set to  ). I changed one and it worked for me, but you may want to rearrange them as needed. --Splarka (talk) 03:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Wookieepedia server

 * I seem to be having problems accessing Wookieepedia at the present moment. IE gives me a "cannot find server" message and aborts the action of loading the page. Is the server down? Is it something to do with my connection? I would log onto IRC, but it's not available to me right now. Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, there seem to me a few errors about, but we aren't sure what it is yet. For most it is quite intermittant or not showing at all.  I had a problem for a while with Wookieepedia, but I think that was at my end (it got worse until I changed my connection).  We are looking into it, and hopefully whatever it is will be cleared up soon.  sorry for the problem! -- Sannse 16:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Whatever they were, they only seemed to occur when I loaded the Wookieepedia Main Page. Perhaps some of the scripts used for that are conflicting with the new upgrade? The other pages seem to work well, aside from a slower loading speed than before. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 18:22, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is connected to Internet Explorer, so if you have an alternative browser you can get on that way. One of our tech guys is working on it as we speak, so hopefully he will be able to fine the problem -- Sannse 19:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, definitely an IE error, and I'm stuck with no alternate atm :( Thanks for the update. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 02:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Semantic MediaWiki status
Hi, I hate to bother you, but it seems that the topic here needs your attention. TIA --Lirielle 08:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know :) I've replied there -- Sannse 10:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyright uncertain
Hi Sannse. Could you help me with this, please? ―  T hailog  22:38, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Thailog. Are the articles he is writing direct copies of those on other sites? or are they just taking information from those places and using them in articles?  The latter is just fine (you can't copyright information!).  I did a check for some of his phrases, and they seem to be unique.  Looks to me like his own work, using several resources for information. -- Sannse 08:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This one is taken verbatim from here. And the license of the site does not mention anything about the use of its information. ―  T hailog  17:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No one owns information, you can always take information from other sites and use it. What is not OK of course, is just copying the text.  The best thing to do is explain that to Samuel, and ask him to rewrite any that are not in his own words.  Even if a site doesn't say it is copyrighted, it is, unless it specifically says otherwise. Hope that helps -- Sannse 18:21, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Slow Wikia

 * Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason all the Wikia seem to be crawling whenever I tried to access them. I first encountered the error about ten minutes ago. Thanks, sannse. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 14:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Is this still happening? There were some changes made earlier, and they seem to have drastically improved the load speed for me - especially on Wookieepedia.  I'm not hearing similar reports from others yet either ... -- Sannse 17:11, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It got better about an hour ago. Maybe it was a residual error, but it seems to be working now. Also, I did get the fatal error in IE 6 when I opened my talk page, but it only happened once. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

RvB Wiki
Sure, if you think I'm the best candidate. I'll try and find another person for adminship, but I'm not sure there are very many, though I agree with you about having two admins. --Caboose

BTW, I didn't know you were a girl. Cooleo.


 * OK, you are set. Let me or one of the other community team members know if you need any help, or if you find that second admin :) -- Sannse 20:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Need some help
Hello. I need to discuss something with a "higher" authority. I am up for administrator on Star Wars Fanon Wiki. And I have been opposed by the user Bub. Who consequently is a "retired" admin. Now Bub has opposed me with the reason of "personal attacks." Two admins on Fanon, Squishy Vic and Jack Phoenix have both stated I have never performed a personal attack. I have also made a forum discussing why I am "harsh", and many users have rallied behind me. So, I ask, why should his vote be counted if he won't even be around? Secondly, how can it be counted as an oppose when he basically performed one on the entire web site when he said "Many users here are immature and ignorant, and do not know how wikis are meant to work" - Bub I am sorry to bother you with such a trivial problem, however, many users respect you, and I was hoping maybe they would listen to you if you backed me up a bit. Also, I have contacted the Main admin on Fanon, but he hasnt replied. I would like his vote possibly voided. A link to the admin elections can be found on the Main page of the Fanon website. My username is the same on the Fanon wiki as it is pretty much everywhere, CurrentBigThing. I have no preference on where you reply, but please do. Thank you for your time.CurrentBigThing


 * This is a matter for the community. It's something you are going to have to sort out between you, and between the other users of the wiki.  Sorry -- Sannse 21:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Miniupload
It appears that the form is still giving the message

<pre style="overflow:auto"> All images uploaded are subject to Wikia's GNU Free Documentation License. Do not upload copyrighted images.

instead of the license selector. G .<font color="#666666">He <font color="midnightblue">(Talk!) 01:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * We were looking for a good wording for this, I'm not sure what was decided... The licence selector is possibly the best solution, or it may be too complicated for this (it's supposed to be a very simple application).  I'll find out more -- sannse 19:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Adopting The Beatles Wiki
I would like to adopt The Beatles Wiki (http://beatles.wikia.com/). It has already been adopted once, but both owners have seemingly abandoned it. I've been doing work on it for about a week, and I feel it has great potential. It is pretty empty right now, but I feel that if I am promoted to admin, I can make it a good addition to Wikia. Thanks, Marvelcarlos 02:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks like you are doing great work there! I've set you as admin and bureaucrat there, let me know if you need any help with the new functions.  And good luck! -- sannse 19:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! I'll contact you if I have any problems. Marvelcarlos 02:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Revert spree?
I'm interested in your little revert spree on some of the Runescape wikia pages. I noticed you did revert them back again. Were you testing the revert or did you mistakenly think Hyenaste was a vandal? Amaurice (talk) 12:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm similarly interested. The IP threatened tattling for the 3RR Wikipedia has, but I didn't believe staff would come and revert spam back onto my talk page. :D >> Hyenaste talk
 * I'm really sorry for that. I was looking through some edits and decided to save time with "open all in tabs"... forgetting that some of the links in view were rollback links :-o I did feel rather stupid at that one.  Sorry again -- sannse (talk) 17:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I just wondered if I'd missed something going on. You reverted them back again anyway. So it was just one of those little mistakes that happen, and nothing more sinister. =D Amaurice (talk) 17:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

JP Wiki
I have been on the Jurassic Park Wiki since Febuary and have even posted my Personal pictures from Universal Studios JP section. I have tried to adopt it several times but I was unable to contact the creator. I saw that you made Vinny a sysop. He has only contributed only a month longer than me. Could you please make me a sysop? I will make the site better and keep it nice. Thank you so much.Chaosman92 18:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Please contact me on JP Wiki. ThanksChaosman92 18:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I explained this to you back in April: "it seems this is not your only account, and that other account has already lost admin rights on one wiki and has been banned from another. I won't make someone an admin under those circumstances."   I'm afraid nothing has changed. -- sannse (talk) 07:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

checking
ok finally i compiled AWB to test the new options and dont seem to work as it should i may report it but i cant still pull any list and i cant find the Query.php and API.php has those been installed? --Cizagna (Talk) 03:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Cizagna, yes, they are installed. One is at http://www.wikia.com/api.php - I'm not sure where the other is, but have sent an email to ask the technical team.  I'll get back to you as soon as I can on that -- sannse (talk) 15:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * found it http://www.wikia.com/query.php well then i can report the bugs with less thing they can complain about us hehe
