German
Please help with this. I’m not sure what the user wants. Proxima Centauri 13:21, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey. He wants to set up a Non-Wikia wiki.  It's a German version of Wikiindex, and he's asking you because you have a user page there and he can't find admins.  I'll ask Avatar to give him a hand :) -- sannse (talk) 18:34, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm on it. --Avatar 20:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Config change on Yu-Gi-Oh!
Heya. If you're able to do this, we'd like the $smwgQMaxSize and $smwgQMaxDepth values set to in extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php set to 16 and 8 respectively. We need this to enable to slightly more complex search queries, which will be crucial to the way we're going to be re-defining our searching system. Thanks in advance.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 14:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, one small thing. We also need Semantics enabled in our other Namespaces, you guys should be able to easily change that using the $smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks option. You can find how the array for how the namespaces work in this link. Thanks again.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 14:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't have direct access to these settings, but I've put in the request. -- sannse (talk) 18:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Checkuser request
Is there a "requests for checkuser" page on Wikia? I am asking because I would like to know if my IP address has been hacked by a vandal. After looking at a user's contributions on Wikipedia, I noticed the user had posted about vandalism on happymeal.wikia.com on the talk page of the user who I think owns the wiki. I went to the wiki, created an account and reverted the vandalism but the vandal has created a new account and vandalised again, and when I go back instead of the vandal being autoblocked, I am autoblocked so I am unable to remove the vandalism. I have only used one IP address, in the 86.169 range, so is it possible to find out what has occurred, whether the vandal has accessed my account, or somehow used my IP address (although I have never edited logged out with this IP address on any wiki, making it unlikely that the vandal would know it), or whether it is just a bug in the software? Snigbrook 18:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

More specifically the message was "Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Ronald McGAY". The reason given for Ronald McGAY's block is: "Inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages: vandal"

* Start of block: 17:39, 1 July 2008 * Expiry of block: 19:25, 1 July 2008 Block ID is 8. Snigbrook 19:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I think this is a bug, I've checked the IPs and they are clearly different. I've heard of something similar happening elsewhere, but the tech guys will have to look into this and find the cause.  Sorry for the problem -- sannse (talk) 20:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reassuring me, and for fixing the vandalism. I was concerned at first that my account, and maybe even my email, had been hacked - it was only when typing my message here that I thought of the possibility of a bug in the software.   I don't appear to be blocked anymore. Snigbrook 20:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

An adminship request
Hello Sannse, I request adminship for russian part of Memory Alpha. This wiki was abandoned at its beginning and there is no active administrators at this moment. I would like to write this project and need adminship for deleting some articles and other admin work. I wrote about it at Angelas talk page but she seems to be away.

Sorry for my English)--Rogol


 * Hi Rogol, you are added... and good luck with the project! -- sannse (talk) 09:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, you made me admin in english part of Memory Alpha, thanks a lot))), but I requested adminship in russian part. --Rogol


 * Oops! seems one of my javascript-added links breaks on MA!  Sorry about that, I've fixed it -- sannse (talk) 12:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.--Rogol

Inappropriate ads
Hi, Sannse! My name's Ken, and I'm a friend of Danny's over on Muppet Wiki, where I've been for about a year and a half. I noticed that people have been talking about inappropriate ads. While I haven't seen any of those over on Muppet, I was wondering if we could block things like ads for unauthorized Muppet merchandise. For example, sometimes I see ads for all 5 seasons of The Muppet Show, when only the first 3 have been released by Disney. We have a whole page of things like this here, and I figured now would be a good time to get rid of these kinds of ads, too. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks for your help! -- Ken (talk ) 01:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Ken, we would certainly consider blocking anything like that. Please see http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Bad_advertisements which tells you how to get the URL of the ad (not the page its on) and send it to us to look at.  thanks -- sannse (talk) 09:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

ACG Pooooke... Negima Wiki!
Heh, to much Soul Eater for me...

Well, since I keep forgetting to poke you when on IRC, talkpage time!

The Negima! Wiki wants to join Wikia ACG, AJ the Shinigami did confirm it, :/ Though he likes to respond via e-mail so only half the conversation is on his talkpage.

So, it's the usual, but a few more tweaks to:
 * Sysop on me; link
 * Bot on AnimeBot; link
 * Sysop on AnimeBotSys; link
 * It's extra but could you also enable SMW there, I'm going to import the Negima!(?) pages we already have at the Animepedia into the Negima! Wiki, and some of those are already using Semantic Attributes, things will break without SMW on, ;) Plus it's a head start to making the wiki navigable.
 * Oh, also I don't know if you'll do it. But moving the wiki over it's redirect from mahousenseinegima.wikia.com to negima.wikia.com would be good. "Mahou Sensei Negima" is Japanese, and hard to read. The series is normally referred to as "Negima!" and "Negima!?" (The !? is the spin-off), and it would be clearer and show up better on search engines with just Negima.
 * O_o now that I look at my own comments, I can't believe he actually understood all that. It's not good when you can confuse yourself is it? heh ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jul 2, 2008 @ 18:51 (UTC)


 * As discussed on IRC... let me know when you get agreement for the URL :) -- sannse (talk) 08:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * AJ confirmed it was ok. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jul 4, 2008 @ 13:47 (UTC)


 * OK Dantman, URL change done -- sannse (talk) 18:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Merge
Hi, I'm a sysop at the Hitchhiker's Guide to Earth. I'm wondering if you can work out a merge between the 2 wiki's listed in the header, but can you make the new subdomain dontpanic.wikia.com? Thanks! --Taylor Karras talk contributions 12:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * *bump* --Taylor Karras talk contributions 23:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've closed dontpanic.wikia and redirected the URL to hitchhikersguidetoearth.wikia. Please get agreement of the other admins and founder, and I'll change the URL to whichever you decide on.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

cratting?
Can I have crat rights on the DragonFable Wiki? The admin isn't active there. Thanks, Derilith 02:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

P.S.

I want you to reply on the talk page on the RuneScape Wiki or Dragonfable Wiki. Thanks!


 * I see Angela already made you an admin :) -- sannse (talk) 18:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Any chance of help for Wikisocial?
Hi Sannse, some time ago an admin (who has bureaucrat status) on Wikisocial changed the style without any discussion. This arguably killed off any substantial editing there, which seems a pity, given good name, 50 articles plus which some of us invested quite a bit of time into, and relatively large number of users (150 overall?). I set up a poll about the changes and there now seems to be a consensus in favour of the old style. The main thing I think is black on white text rather than the other way round. I'm not confident enough to attempt this myself, so asked another admin who used to be active. If there was an easy way of getting back to black on white I'd be happy to contribute now and then, so am wondering if the community team can help in any way? It'd be good if you could reply here to keep discussion together, thanks Philralph @ sca21 08:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I've replied over on Wikisocial -- sannse (talk) 10:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for dropping by and helping out. Hopefully things'll start to flow again now Philralph @ sca21 07:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

hi sannse
my name is RaymondAK-47 from the Hebrew wiki of eincyclopedia. i was sent by the management to ask the staff to deal with the bugs in our subsidiary projects and other technical issues we need help in.

first of all, I hope I'm at the right person, if I'm not, please tell me where i should go to speak with someone who can help me. now the problems we have:
 * lack of mental health.
 * in our subsidiary projects when we press on the discussion ("שיחה" in Hebrew) button it takes us to a different page, and it considers it as an article.
 * a lot of the sites users are complaining that when you press the logos of our subsidiary projects it takes them to the main page of eincyclopedia and not of the subsidiary project they were in.
 * a new subsidiary project was voted and excepted in the name of einminim ("איןמינים" in Hebrew) and we need it and its talk pages added to the site. that subsidiary project is a parody of wikipedia's "Wikispecies".
 * a question: is it possible for the subsidiary projects to have a article counter of their own?

thank you,
 * 08:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. To take the points in turn:
 * I'm afraid there is very little mental health at Wikia
 * That's a strange bug - I've reported it, and will get back to you
 * That's normal behaviour for the logo, it always goes back to the main page (see Uncyclopedia for example). I don't know of a way to change this
 * I'll get this added, but want to be sure the talk page problem is fixed first.
 * It's possible that someone could come up with an idea for this using the site javascript, but I don't know of a way.

Sorry not to be of more help, but I'll let you know what I hear about that bug -- sannse (talk) 11:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * thank you RAYcyclopedia  ╬   talk - if the opposite of pro is con. then what is the opposite of progress? 11:59, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Striping adminship.
Hi i am on that wikia site called e wrestling and there is a administrator by the name of Wilberj and i think that he need to be strip of his adminship because he block user for no reasons i think that sundogs made a mistake put him as administrator and he also does some harassment some times. --Wiezorek James 17:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm confused here... as far as I can see he's only made two blocks this month, both for very obvious vandalism. And at the end of last month you were offering him an admin flag on the wiki you founded... so there can't have been a problem before then.  I also don't see any conversations between the two of you and the rest of the community discussing the problems and what to do about them.  Perhaps I missed that?  In fact, the only real problem I was was some of your comments, which really don't seem appropriate.  If there are problems, the first thing to do is discuss them with other admins and the community, I'm sure you will be able to get things sorted -- sannse (talk) 19:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Starter Pages
I noticed that Help:user access levels on the wikia starter pages still links to Special:Giverollback. Could you update this? MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ { talk /contribs/Logs} 01:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, MarioGalaxy. I've actually been working with sannse on getting starter updated in general to reflect all of MediaWiki 1.12.0's changes (not just the deprecated giverollback page) and getting outdated pages changed globally around Wikia. -- 14:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * MarioGalaxy, I've made this change, thanks :)
 * Charitwo, can you ping me? I want to go over a few bits before giving you access on starter. Thanks :) -- sannse (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Will e-mail suffice? No unmonitored access to IRC/Skype at work. Otherwise can you stay up a little later tonight, I get off work in about 2hr10min from now, then we can chat on Skype. -- 20:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm still around, and will hang on... later -- sannse (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Adminship Removal

 * Hello sannse. This is a confirmation that I do want my Adminship removed on the SWFanon wiki . Thank you again! Jedi Master 76 talk 21:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, done :( -- sannse (talk) 16:56, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucrat powers
Hi Sannse, I was recently elected as a Bureaucrat on Star Wars Fanon. Would you be able to give me the appropriate Bureaucrat powers there? If not, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. - Brandon Rhea (talk)
 * I see that C3PO has done this, congratulations :) -- sannse (talk) 16:58, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, thanks. I also have another question. A fellow user and I are attempting to document the history of Star Wars Fanon in a more detailed fashion. Because I don't know much about Wikia Central or where things are kept, would you be able to direct me to where Neomessiah requested the creation of Star Wars Fanon? Thanks! Brandon Rhea (talk)
 * It was a long time ago, before requests.wikia was created. So he would have emailed Angela directly to ask for the wiki to be created.  There's nothing on-wiki I'm afraid -- sannse (talk) 08:58, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Gundam wikia adoption request
Hi Lisa Well basically im sending this request due to the inactivity of many of the Gundam wikia admins. The last active edit was April 8 2008. I would like to adopt this wikia as to keep the main page information up to date. I have been member for almost a year with about 300 contributions, i would have contributed more but was balancing studies and contributions. I would like to form a new admin group to maintain the information accuracy and stop vandalism. I have contacted the admin on his user page and has not replied and he has blocked his email so i can not contact him. I would like to thank you in advance if you allow me to adopt this wikia. If not I understand and would like to thank you for considering the possibility. Thanks Michael Sealedsoul 01:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There may not be much activity, but there are a few other users there :) so please try and get a discussion going with them and decide on admin(s) between you. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:13, 14 July 2008 (UTC) (p.s. please call me "sannse", everyone does :)

Adminship
I am concerned about the status of the Pokemon Fanon Wikia. I have been editing regularly for several weeks and there has been no administrator activity and very little editor activity other than my own. I would like to be bumped up to administrator status there so I can help revive it. Thank you, Reptilia 01:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I oppose. User was recently banned from English pokemon for being a sockpuppet of User:Boss Giovanni, who coincidentally also is an editor there. Also, as a note, there is an active community there, so it's up to the community to decide on an admin. -- 01:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * At the time I was unaware that Sockpuppeting was not allowed. I was not a sockpuppet, I was a puppetmaster, and it will not happen again now that I know it is not allowed. Also, the community there is not active, the last administrator edit was over a month ago and several users have decided to leave. It needs help. Reptilia 14:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks to me as though we need to hold on this a while, let's see if things have settled in a few months. -- sannse (talk) 18:06, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, I may need to earn my trust back after my little Sockpuppeting "accident" (you could use other words, but that's the one I felt like using to describe it). Thank you for listening. Reptilia 20:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

DPL extension
Hi Sannse. I sent a contact form to request DPL a day ago or something, but I'm not sure that was the way to do it. Anyway, I would like to request the DPL extension for the DOMO Wiki. I hope that's fine. Thanks! Ack, actually... I don't think it would be such a good idea, because I wanted to use it for a lot of pages. I read it would slow down the server a lot. :x Sorry for bothering!! ;;--D-day 04:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hello, could you do me a big favour and do a checkuser on the IP that left a message on my talk page, as I think it is Stinkowing, and I think some form of action should be taken against him if it is, such as removal of sysop powers on the RS Wiki. Thanks! Daedryon 08:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You must really hate me. Seeing as how you changed a talkpage message of mine to say something degrading, you must really have too much time on your hands. Sannse, I'm sorry you have to listen to this jerk; he's been an absolute pain in the ass to deal with. My apologies. Just block him, and we'll be done here. --&#123;&#123;Signatures/Stinkowing}} 00:40, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, sannse, I now have more proof then ever before that this is Total. If you look |right here on Manticore's talk page archive number two, the behavior "Daedryon" and that IP that Total used on Manticore's page, you can see that the behavoir and hatred towards me is one and the same. That should be more than enough proof that Total is socking as Daedryon. Still, go ahead with the CheckUser if you already haven't, because the truth is the truth: Total won't win, but he sure makes me upset with his horrid behavoir and "godlike" attitude. Sorry to bother you.

Please don't bring your disputes to Wikia. I strongly suggest that both of you learn to ignore each other -- sannse (talk) 09:58, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Google Ad
Google has an Ad that cover information on the eq2 wiki site wondering if it could be moved or made smaller so we can read all the info....dont see a close icon anywhere.

Thanks,

Lee


 * Hi, please could you give me some more information? Which page did you see this on? Where on the page was the ad? (At the top? down near the footer?).  And what browser do you use?  If it's possible, a screenshot of the problem will be great!
 * We know there are a couple of problems with over-lapping ads, but the more info we have the better :) Thanks -- sannse (talk) 10:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
Hey there Sannse! I was wondering if you could make me a bureaucrat on the guitar wiki. The wiki has been more or less inactive for some time. I would really like to bring the wiki up to date and with admin powers I could do that better. All the other admins on the wiki are no longer active and the wiki is kind of a mess. The articles were uncategorized, there loads of red links and I noticed that at one point of time a user simply erased all the data from various pages. I have started helping out there and would be really thankful if you made me a b'crat so that I could help out more effectively. Thanks.Jet'ika Talk 10:05, 17 July 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika
 * Hi Jet'ika, it looks like one of the admins has been around just a month ago so it may be worth trying to contact them and offering to help.  There are also a few other occasional users around, so it would be best to try and contact other users and get an agreement on new admins.  If you need one, I can set a sitenotice to direct people to the right place.  Good luck -- sannse (talk) 18:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I have contacted the mentioned admin. Hopefully he will reply. In the mean time time could you add the sitenotice you mentioned? Also is it possible for me to upload a new logo if I'm not a admin? You might have noticed that the logo at the guitar wiki is not very neatly made. I have requested for a new one at the logo creation wiki and was hoping that when it was created you or any one of the helpers could upload it there. Thanks for your time! Cheers!Jet'ika Talk 11:28, 19 July 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika

Theme
Hey could you help make a custom wikia skin theme, for the Ratchet and Clank Wiki, like the Star Wars wikia theme.


 * Sure :) Do you have an idea of what colours you want? -- sannse (talk) 18:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

B'crat request
Hello sannse! Earlier today I sent an email requesting that I replace a particular permanently-inactive b'crat at Wiki 24, to help fill the active b'crat gap and appoint a community-chosen nominee to the adminship. This is just in case the note didn't make it past your spam filters. Thanks for considering this, and for helping me earlier sort out part of it back in June! — Blue Rook 23:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Blue Rook, I got the mail thanks - I'm looking at the wiki now -- sannse (talk) 09:20, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Unless he's mentioned something to you privately, I haven't heard back from the remaining bureaucrat yet. In anticipation of the b'crat rights, is it true that Wikia b'crats are watered down versions of Wikipedia b'crats? Is it still accurate that Wikia b'crats cannot set bots or rename accounts.
 * On a different topic, the Wikithanks Sunflower appears to be the one that is given most, but you only seem to have one, so here's another! [[Image:Thanks sunflower.png]] Thanks for helping not only with my request, but for sorting through the steady stream of user rights requests and other calls for help, month after month, with extreme patience and tact. Blue Rook 17:50, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the flower!
 * Yes, on Wikia bureaucrats can only add admin/bureaucrat/rollback rights, only staff can add bots or remove rights. We don't have merge-accounts, because of the shared database.
 * And on the right on 24... it's only been a couple of days - Let's look again on Monday. I'm sorry it's taking so long, but we are very reluctant to interfere in communities unless we have to.  So I would much rather Proudhug added the rights if possible.  -- sannse (talk) 19:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * My pleasure! With regard to the leftover matter, Monday sounds fine to revisit it. And especially, please don't feel I'm asking you to "interfere" in our community! I would not have made the request had I not considered it valid, and completely beneficial for the wiki. As I'm sure you determined already by reading our various talk and forum pages, this change has the potential to offend not a soul, and is necessary, as it has proven demonstrably inadequate for our wiki to have only one partially-active user with the bureaucrat duties.
 * To help reassure you, I've added a self-nomination right on our admin nomination page, where community members now have the opportunity to voice their support or reservations before Monday. I also added a new section to our admin page and linked it in the nomination, so that editors can add educated input and that future users can learn from it. Blue Rook 02:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And all is sorted :) -- sannse (talk) 21:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much!! Blue Rook 01:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Sitename change request
Hello Sannse! I'd like to request a sitename change for the Wikia about Flanders. Could the sitename "Vlaanderen Wiki" be changed to "VlaanderenWiki". A space in the project namespace is ugly, and it's actually a spelling mistake in Dutch/Flemish. I hope it's not too much work for such a small change... Thank you, SPQRobin 20:51, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem :) it's done -- sannse (talk) 21:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Request to adopt italian Age of Conan Wiki
Hi Sannse! I'm a player and an italian fan of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventure. I'd like to adopt the wiki, that's inactive since january, because I think it can be a reference point for the italian comunity of this game. I want to add not only article about the game, but also information about the world of Hyboria described by Howard. I need adminship because I'd like to change the wiki's skin and delete some pages. Thanks a lot ^.^

I'm in need of assistance...
Hi, sorry to bother you. I know you're busy, but I need some advice. I've manage to edit a few articles on Sonic News Network and I'm afraid I'll get in trouble for this. The reason was some articles needed to be fixed. And I don't want people to think negative of me. You can contact me on my talk page, User:Danijo. P.S., Also, I don't know what to do. I'm really sorry for the trouble. By Danijo.


 * Wikis are for editing :) so no problem at all. Just keep making good edits and you'll be fine.  Have fun! -- sannse (talk) 10:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

New namespace
Ah I ask quite a few questions.. on Wikia Help, someone asked a question in the Shout Box about founding new namespaces and Angies said that you would be able to help. I was wondering if you would be able to make a News namespace for the Sega Wiki's general Sega-related news, because my solution right now is to put it at Sega_Wiki:News/title and that's not really what we want to use the namespace for. Thanks in advance! Wikada - Talk Contributions 12:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * That doesn't seem to work, but I'll ask the technical team if there's something I'm missing -- sannse (talk) 20:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppeteer is back and won't quit (I need advice!)
Sannse, I would like your advice on what to do about that sockpuppeteer on the RuneScape wiki that we oh-so-"lovingly" named "Jaghater" (you may remember Thisguyowns and Jimihendrixowns). Recently, he has been harassing me continuously on both that wiki and the RuneScape FanFiction wiki, where I believe you | told him that he had to ignore me, with me doing the same. I have been doing my best to keep that resolution; however, I find that I am no longer able to tolerate Jaghater's immature behavior. He is using an unblocked sock's account, (| here's the history) to attack the main RuneScape wiki, and he will not leave me alone on either one. In fact, in contrast to what you thought that he would do on FanFaction (which was edit peacefully), he has not edited at all, proving to me that he's only on BOTH wikis to harass us. Though he hasn't bothered me on FanFiction, on the main wiki just today, at two in the morning, I found that he had | placed a hateful message on my talk page, claiming that he had come to harass us even more. Naturally, he was blocked, but I was so furious, I left a message on that sock's talk page that told him VERY bluntly to leave me alone. He has not posted since that time, but I fear that I'm going to blow up and lose my temper again. I am asking you for advice on how to deal with him, because everyone on both wikis is baffled as to why he's being a pain in the ass, even after we thought he was dealt with. Thank you. Also, before I go, I would like to say that I'm VERY sorry for repetedly bugging you about problems on the RuneScape Wiki, such as Total Rune and now Jaghater. Thank you (for reals) --&#123;&#123;Signatures/Stinkowing}} 06:16, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sannse, once again, I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help NOW! Jaghater has gone nuts and is repetedly vandalizing mine and Christine's user talk pages on FanFiction! He is flaming me like mad! Please, I need your help!
 * Now he's created NO FEWER than TEN socks in the past FIVE minutes! I don't care at this point; just get some sense in his brain!
 * Hi Stinkowing, sorry I didn't get here yesterday. I've replied to you via mail.  -- sannse (talk) 09:46, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but could you place it on my RS Wiki talk page? I cannot use e-mail, since I switched over to Comcast from Insight and my account was not set up properly. Thanks! --&#123;&#123;Signatures/Stinkowing}} 18:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Is there a problem I can help with? It's always a shame to see an admin go... -- sannse (talk) 20:05, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * it's someting inside the community, someting wrong there, we have only sysop and rollback,and they all the time fight and busy in politic instant to be busy in make funny article, i try to make them stop with it, but it's impossible, i dont know what to do. 14:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * this sysop wanted to change thing in the community, but in the vote, almost all the community was against his offer. he didn't respect what the community dicided and fight with many of the community members time after time, endless. today he go to another site (a forum site) and wrote vary bad things about the site he is sysop in it, include things like "you shouldn't edit in eincyclopadia' is a vary bad site" and our community don't want him as a sysop any more. if you want we will open a vote about it.I hope you understand why we don't want him as a sysop in this wiki. thanks. 17:32, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * and i dont want to be in this site too, because i'm not enjoyed, and i'm dont leader, and i just said what i thought about this site, it's not a enjoying site, and it's far from be a opensource that everyone can edit. 18:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * almost all the another active users don't think like you in the last 2 votes. 18:10, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * but ALL the active user number is: 4! 4 USERS IN 3 YEARS OLD WIKI, and even more worse, 4 USERS THAT EVEN DONT KNOW HOW WIKI SUPPOSE TO BE MANAGED. and what weird that is their all in the top no one from the 4 is normal user, ITS NOT A OPENSOURCE WIKI THAT EVERYONE CAN EDIT. you also said that all black humor is outlawed, and who dont agree with your law can go to hell. i dont want to take part in it. 07:18, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * we have more then 10 active users, and more then 1700 articals in the main range and 100 in the new ranges (you remember, like "unqoute"). you have to tell her you tried to vote twice using a popit and get cought and this is why you so hate this site. you also have to tell her that you opened your own wiki some mounth ago and your wiki closed becouse nobody wrote in it and you want to teach us how to manege wiki. tell her olso that you said that your father, who edit less than 200 times and not active almost 2 years is more than users who edit more than 5000 edits and write in the site day by day. 08:23, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 10 it's not a big number at all, and i told you that i want to close my wiki because chameleon told me that it's  pointless because there already wiki for opensuse. you dont know what is php css html xhtml and you dont know even how wiki support to look, anyway opensuse community is very small in Israel so it's not successes anyway, eincyclopedia topic is more bigger and there support to be 50 active users at least, if you dont start with your "Roles Revolution", wiki dont need billion roles, and 3 mans that's now what they talk about told you it, but you choose to igrone. anyway your not the man that's create this wiki, it's was kakkon, he was'nt experienced too, and he copy alot of thing from wikipedia, but he dont create a useless roles for "save the quite in this wiki", if you was the one who create that wiki, the users number was ZERO.  08:51, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * before i came, less then year ago, was only 2-3 active user, now we have 10 users, this is a great succses for a wiki which had 2-3 users by the first 2 years of activity. and this is only 10 becouse of yours fights with everybody, execally like in this page. you block who is not agree your opinion, you want to be the only one with power' so you want to fier the rollbacks. the community didnwt agree with you, in official vote, but you didn't respecepted them, you fight them again and again endless. you opened a pupit to double vote and get cought. Sannase, would you like a vote about him? we will glade to open it. 09:34, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * i dont have energy to fight with you, think what ever you want.  10:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * '''here is the vote: 09:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I have done this, reluctantly... I'm worried about the amount of conflict I hear about on this wiki, and wonder how healthy it really is. I suspect I'll see more from this wiki in the future -- sannse (talk) 13:21, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * We are tring to be more peacful wiki. actually, this is the first conflict since we started to be calmer, and it started because of him. (sorry for my English) --yoyole12313:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * yes, we all wish that without this user we all togather make this wiki more peacful, a lot. thank you and sorry about all the things... 17:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Problem on Wookieepedia
A number of long Wookieepedia pages are half-covered in a blank whiteness for me, including the Featured Article Nominations page. I've been told that this is a FireFox 3 bug and that it has been fixed, but it's still there. Any idea how I can fix it?-- 21:30, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Goodwood. Yes, it seems to be a firefox bug - something about positioning with css it seems.  Hopefully it will be fixed soon, on our end if not on firefox's (FF3 is also driving me crazy with freezing flash, or crashing completely... I'm sure the beta was much better than the release!) -- sannse (talk) 13:26, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey Sannse
Hay Sannse i would like Adopt the Nintendo wikia becuse i think that i can run it and here is the link for the wikia http://nintendo.wikia.com and i think i can get people to help me out and have a nice day.--Wiezorek James 00:59, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * http://nintendo.wikia.com is an active wiki with an active bureaucrat (Bentendo). I also note you have no contributions there. Perhaps you meant another wiki? - Adan Aileron (talk) 03:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

sansse
first of all. let me apologize for my friends... unique English... second, i would like to explain what happened at eincyclopedia. for a long time there has been a slight abandonment of the writing task and a lot of the users noticed it and started working to direct the community back to writing, but suzaman (who noticed the problem as well) did that while using "piquant" language and harsh accusations, and that happening again (last time when it was decided to remove his father from the sysop list due to lack of activity [20 edits in a year!]) a lot of the community got angry, then he said he intends to leave and said he talked to you about quiting (which he did) but the thing that...well... the straw that broke the camel's back was when he went on a forum and said that the site was disgusting and no one should join it.

greetings, and hopefully my god damned signature will work 09:58, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * damn it!!! 10:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Convert: unable to open image
cs:Necyklopedie

About week is problem . Almost all new pictures have problem calculation. for example. , , --Ervinpospisil 05:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks like there is a problem with accented characters in file names, very strange. It looks like the images that aren't shown on the image page at all may be corrupted, I had problems opening them when I saved a copy ( <-- this image for example).  But the other images are fine, it looks like there is a bug somewhere.  I've passed it to the technical team, so hopefully they can fix this soon. -- sannse (talk) 10:24, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

DW Wiki Administrators and Bureaucrats
Hi, I'm an editor on the Dynasty Warriors Wiki. Our site only has one administrator, Whopper, and he isn't active very often. In fact we have very few (practically none, about 2) regular editors :(

I posted a question on the forum, Forum:A request or a query, about administating myself and another user or two. I followed Charitwo's advice and asked on our sites Community Portal about what they thought and the only other active user has responded in two weeks saying that he agrees another Admin/s is needed.

I nominated him and he nominated me, and due to the lack of regular editors I felt it was stupid to wait longer and so I came here to ask you about Adminship. As we haven't got a bureaucrat either, I was wondering if you Admin both myself and User:Dabigbozz42. Thanks --Aeon <font color="deepskyblue" face="Lucida Console">lord92


 * Hi, the best next step is to try and contact Whopper. If you leave a message on his talk page, he should get a notification by mail.  If you tell him that the two of you are willing to help out, hopefully he will add you both as admins.  If he doesn't respond in a week or so, then I'll flip the switch instead.  Feel free to remind me in a week if you haven't heard from him :) -- sannse (talk) 09:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't realise Admins had the power to give administrative powers to other users, I thought only bureaucrats could do that... Oh well.


 * I'll ask on his talk page and if I have heard nothing by July 30th I'll come back here. Thanks. --<font color="crimson" face="Lucida Console">Aeon <font color="deepskyblue" face="Lucida Console">lord92 13:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't see that he doesn't have a bureaucrat flag, usually the first admin on a wiki does. But no problem, the same can apply... just that if you get his agreement, I'll set the flags (or set his to bureaucrat, if he's going to be active). -- sannse (talk) 15:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Sannse, it has been a week and we have still heard nothing from Whopper despite leaving a message on his talk page and e-mailing him. --<font color="crimson" face="Lucida Console">Aeon <font color="deepskyblue" face="Lucida Console">lord92 07:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again Sannse, I was just wondering if today you could set the flags today as, as of yesterday, it has been a week since I e-mailed and asked Whopper and we have still heard nothing. Thanks. --<font color="crimson" face="Lucida Console">Aeon <font color="deepskyblue" face="Lucida Console">lord92 10:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, this is done :) let me know if you need any help (sorry, I was travelling yesterday) -- sannse (talk) 11:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sannse. If/when Whopper returns I'll probably come back here and ask if you could make him a bureaucrat as he should be one being the wiki's founder. --<font color="crimson" face="Lucida Console">Aeon <font color="deepskyblue" face="Lucida Console">lord92 13:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

ACG for Desert Punk
Hi again Sannse, MementoMoriBlack from Desert Punk came to the Animepedia asking for some help. He tried copying over the Animepedia templates because he thought the system was good, but of course that didn't work out since the system is fairly strongly tied into Wikia ACG. I thought it easiest to just join Wikia ACG (he needed help, the project's goal was to provide help) and he agreed. Could you give AnimeBot the bot flag over at http://desertpunk.wikia.com for me so I can correctly sync over the templates for him. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jul 30, 2008 @ 08:02 (UTC)
 * Done :) -- sannse (talk) 09:13, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Themes namespace on logocreation
Hi sannse! On Logo Creation Wiki we were thinking of creating a project for designing custom skins for wikis. I was wondering if you could make a new namespace for that? Perhaps "Theme" and "Theme comments." I think that would work fine. Thanks! swannietalk 14:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, that's all set up... and nice idea! -- sannse (talk) 09:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! swannie  http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png  talk  13:58, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello again! Could you make a "Logo" namespace on Logo Creation Wiki, too? Thanks! swannie http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png  talk  15:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also done :) -- sannse (talk) 15:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Halo fanon Admin is ruling the sight. And no one will stand up about this!
An admin on Halo fanon has been over ruling anything the other admins say by his opinion including the banning of Whitehwk and The evil omalley. I got banned for getting advice from Omalley for an artcile after he was banned.Omalley was banned because of flaming and repeated spamming of Ajax 013. I have reasons to believe he has overpowered every other admin on Halofanon. So would you please speak to him. I would but he has me muted on the IRC and my IP addres banned from sending messages to him or any other administrator. Would you please speak to him and ask why he bans everyone in sight for not taking his advice on articles. And ask him why he thinks I was helping Omalley ban dodge. I ask you because i trust you'll make the right decision. User: Whitehwk
 * From what I see of O'Malley's actions on the wiki, his ban was very wise. As for your ban, I understand that the initial part of the problem was on IRC.  So I can't look at that, but I trust the admin team to look at the situation and decide if the ban is fair.  I understand that you feel the other admins are being over-ruled by one, but any admin can remove a block, or question the block - I believe they will do that if necessary.
 * My suggestion is, to leave the wiki alone for a while, just back off and let things calm down. Then contact a user in good standing who you think you can work with, and ask them to contact an admin for you.  They can just ask if the admin will discuss the situation with you, and try to resolve the problems.  But I do recommend giving it some time and space first - that often helps a lot with issues like this. -- sannse (talk) 10:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

UnRuneScape Wiki
There's no active admins there, it would seem. May I have bureaucrat rights there? I seem to have taken a liking to the wiki...Winston 02:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC).
 * I think the best thing on this one is for me to give the active admin, Skill, bureaucrat rights... then they can decide who in the community (or the beginnings of a community) to give admin flags to :) -- sannse (talk) 10:13, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

User rename/merge
Couple questions: 1) Do you prefer all talk page comments/questions here, or is on one of the branch wikis okay? (such as stexpanded, where you've made contributions)

2) Could you get Rename user and User merge and delete implemented (either for stexpanded above or maybe all of Wikia)? This could be a very handy feature. Please reply here. Thanks, --Sasoriza 23:45, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Replied there :) -- sannse (talk) 10:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I have decided
I have decided to leave wikia all together. Many people have problems with my personality so I have decided to leave forever.
