Promotion question.
Hello Uberfuzzy. I was wondering if you could promote Eliza Creststeel of the Pirates Online Wiki (piratesonline.wikia.com) to bureaucrat status. He is the only active administrator there, and there is no one to promote other users. Anyways, please reply on my talk page.-- B a r k j o n Complaints here! 19:17, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * can you have that user ask me this on my talk page on that wiki, so I can be sure the user is requesting this, and also so its the correct user? --Uberfuzzy 19:32, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, will do.-- B a r k j o n Complaints here! 23:12, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Main page ad mystery
Hiya :) I noticed you had done some edits at w:c:icarly and so I thought maybe you could help me with a puzzle that's plaguing me there. If you look at their main page, it's quite atypical of most wikia mainpages these days. They aren't usting the   formatting commands, and they don't have a right-column 300px ad. How are they able to do this? It doesn't seem to be inherent to their skin, because I've chosen to ignore their skin, and to view the page anonymously, and they still don't have a right-column ad.

 * Most wikis dont have that box (300x250) ad enabled on the mainpage. The tags arent even required for that to be enabled. We're not quite as strongly enforcing the tags (and ads) the way we used to, now that we have other places to show the same box ads (such as at the double box ad footer of pages, and sometimes at sections on LONG pages, all only to anon users obv). Its still strongly /suggested/ that they get used if your going to be a hugely popular wiki (movie/show/AAA game etc), so that the page doesnt break when our ad manager turns them on/off at will (well, ok, not at will, but when theres sales, the switches get flipped with no warning). The largest reason that the column concept is a good idea, is sometimes (as has been the case recently), we will sometimes run 300x600 ads in that slot, and the column makes it all slide down gracefully. --Uberfuzzy 08:29, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Please delete wiki
Hi my Friend PLEASE DELETE the wiki...   Hi my friend, it’s me Lukas, do you remember me? I think it was you I talked and asked about deleting my Nova Refuge Wiki right? (http://www.novarefuge.wikia.com/ ) And you said no, but I have a good reason, and here it is: it’s cause of Copyright Vandalation Laws, so to have it up, would be illegal actions for Wikia, so PLEASE my friend delete it. The owner of the NR Unvierse, by himself, pointed out he DON’T WANT to see ANY fanmade databases and wikis made of his work/franchises/series/universe so please delete it my >Friend!< (I just wanna be “friendly”�;) ) FROM: LUKA1184 (everyone’s “Friend” (almost) )

LifeMusic Wiki Main Page

Yo
Hey Uberfuzzy. I never apologized for phailing (specifically my ban appeal :P), did I.

Eh, if I started saying sorry for the past, I'd have a lot of people to apologise too. 17:35, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

A problem
My wiki has a tech problem. It looks like it is raining. I've asked User:Zapwire, he said he did'nt see any rain. The rain effect i see. for example has long streeks of line that are moving on my computer like rain. This happened when I changed the skin. If you can help it's at http://automobile.wikia.com/wiki/Automobile_Wik --Dfegg 14:43, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Far Cry Wiki Admin
May you make me an admin on the Far Cry Wiki? It barely gets any traffic, and I think I could get things done with admin abilities. Thanks! CoD addict 01:55, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Sudden Code--ACK!
Hello. Can you look at http://huntforall39.wikia.com and the edits to Dan Cahill, along with the source versions of every page. I did an edit to Dan's page and then everything got weird and I tried to revert and...please help. Lord Nektann 01:49, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Judging by the revisions, and your message, here, I would say there there is a problem with the rich text editor. Please go into your preferences and disable the rich text editor (in the editor tab). Well, that should fix it anyways. I have corrected the markup on the page; it should look better now. Happy editing. Ajraddatz Talk 01:52, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a problem with the Rich Text Editor, it's been forwarded up the proper channels and is a high priority bug, hopefully to be fixed soon. -- 02:10, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Halo Fan Fiction Wikia Administration Issues
Hello there, Uberfuzzy.

I have an issue that I hope that you are able to resolve. Currently, I am the senior administrator on the Halo Fan Fiction Wikia. Our founding bureaucrats, RelentlessRecusant and H*bad have, through a series of unfortunate events, abandoned the wiki, and the one remaining bureaucrat, Roteratilbo, has been inactive for over a year. We have need of an active set of bureaucrats, as there are several inactive admins that need deactivation, and new candidates for their place that need to be raised to sysop privilege level. Can you give Bureaucrat rights to both me and another admin, Subtank? Please let me know if you can help us out in any way. If you'd like, you can reach me here and Subtank here. Thank you so much for your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely,

Spartan-091 01:53, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not Uberfuzzy Because this is an active wiki, you will most likely need community consensus. Once the community supports you becoming a bureaucrat, you can request it again here, or through the contact form there. Ajraddatz Talk 02:16, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Editing Issues
Excuse me Uberfuzzy, but whenever I try to edit certain pages (like this), the rich text comes up differently from before, and when I change to source text, it becomes a mass of codes and numbers. It's not restricted to main pages either, as I've had the problem on another User's Talkpage. Can you tell me what's up?--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 02:05, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * If you still wish to continue editing, you can go under your preferences and disable the rich text editing. This can be done by going into the "Editing" tab, and unchecking the enable rich text editor box. Ajraddatz Talk 02:13, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Administrative issue on the Splinter Cell Wiki.
Hi. I am currently a sysop on both the Call of Duty and Battlefield Series wikis, and I have recently become an active editor of the Splinter Cell wiki. There was really only one consistently active editor there before me, a sysop going by the moniker ChaosTheory07. At first I thought that he was a bureaucrat, so I asked him if he would consider making me an administrator. I kind of hate to say this, but he is borderline incompetent. He responded by complimenting my work and then saying, "You are hereby an admin," which I take to mean that he didn't know how users become admins. He also neglects to delete spam pages and blocks vandals for absurd lengths of time no matter how big or small the offense. He still responds to messages on his own talk page instead of the other person's. He is also very difficult to get in touch with and randomly ignores parts of messages. I guess the options are to make him a bureaucrat, make me a bureaucrat, or make both of us bureaucrats. I personally wouldn't trust ChaosTheory07 with bureaucrat rights based on his relative Wikia ignorance, but I don't think there would be much harm in allowing him to remain a sysop, as he is a good and dedicated editor and I wouldn't consider him a prime candidate for future power abuse or anything like that. Thank you for your time and your assistance in this matter. Imrlybord7 01:28, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since this is an active and large wiki, this is something that should be discussed with the community - and him. If you don't reach a satisfactory conclusion, then ask staff about it. Also, just so you know, at community we usually respond to message on the same page :P Ajraddatz Talk 01:35, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know, I was confusing wikis again. Something like this is probably best to discuss with the local admin, however, there isn't much that you can do. Wikia doesn't do much about this either, although they might in this case. Ajraddatz retreats back to his small corner Ajraddatz Talk 01:55, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the "local admin" is a mediocre sysop, not a trustworthy 'crat. There is no active 'crat on the wiki, therefore nobody can be granted adminship until one is appointed by Wikia. Imrlybord7 02:00, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Which is a problem with anyone being able to create their own wiki. Perhaps walk him through how to make you an administrator? Ajraddatz Talk 02:11, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * But wait, he's a sysop. How could he make me an administrator? Imrlybord7 02:16, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * By requesting bureaucrat rights for himself (through adoption of the wiki, or Special:Contact), and then Special:Userrights(ing) you. Ajraddatz Talk 02:19, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The whole point of me coming here was for someone to make either one of us or both of us bureaucrats, hence "I guess the options are to make him a bureaucrat, make me a bureaucrat, or make both of us bureaucrats." But I'm not sure that he should be trusted to be the sole bureaucrat of a wiki (in fact, I'm quite certain). I already used Special:Contact yesterday; I guess I just need to be more patient. I apologize if I have been overly abrupt in any way. Imrlybord7 02:22, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
