Ikariam.wikia needs a new bureaucrat - ours has not been online for a few months now
Our bureaucrat of http://ikariam.wikia.com and of a Travian site has not been online to either site for over 1 month for sure  if not longer - more like 2 I am the Main sysop of the 4 assigned to the wikia - I cant do what needs to be done all the time - there is another person that would be a great sysop but no one can promote him to one  - I need help - thanks ( Morph on http://Ikariam.com | Contribs | Talk ) -- 05:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Have you tried contacting Jammmie999? He can make new bureaucrats, so that's the best first step.  You can use the Email this user link, or just try a message on his talk page.  If he doesn't reply, then I can make someone a bureaucrat if the admins and community agree on who.  I'd suggest a forum post and some sort of discussion or vote.  Let me know what everyone decides -- sannse (talk) 08:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I have personally left him messages on his User:Jammmie999 page and have sent him email using the Email this user link, and and have not recieved any replies from him -- For now if you could just make User:Robin_Patterson a Sysop  that would help with 99% of the problem - then we all can discuss Bureaucrat status and get back with you -- ( Morph   on http://Ikariam.com | Contribs | Talk ) -- 01:36, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They vote is in Here - make Jrooksjr into the bureaucrat. -- ( Morph  on http://Ikariam.com | Contribs | Talk ) -- 04:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, it's done. You can have as many bureaucrats as the community wants... but you can set them yourself now, so you and the other active contributors can decide on that for yourselves :) -- sannse (talk) 09:25, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Space for ad
Let me tell you a secret: See the large empty space on the left? (there <) The larger the page, the larger the empty space, so... Why not put ads there instead of placing them INSIDE THE PAGES? That was the most stupid idea I ever saw.

Wikia could create one ad box in that empty space that resizes to the page size, and the larger the page, the larger number of ads. What you say? Of course, the ads inside article MUST be removed before doing it. --_12:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, please see Forum:Wikia's New Style for discussion of this (including the archives) -- sannse (talk) 19:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Syntax highlighting extension
Hi, could you please enable the Syntax highlighting extension ("enabled on request") on the Rappelz Wiki? Thanks in advance, Drennan 15:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Drennan, that's done -- sannse (talk) 19:48, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Drennan 20:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Question about copyrights
A user is asking me if he can upload anonymous content to Ficciones, he says, anonymous works, like Robin Hood. He says he could upload some current anonymous stories, but I am not sure. Maybe GFDL does not allow that, as he does not own the rights to them. I think he is wrong, is he? David 20:04, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * This is a bit complicated, but I'll give you my understanding of the issue. It's not about whether the content is anonymous, an author has copyright over his own work regardless.  But some stories are considered traditional, and so no one holds the copyright.  They are also likely to be so old that any original author's copyright is long expired... they are in the public domain.  So such stories can be used on a GDFL project.  Something like Robin Hood is definitely traditional... but a particular telling of the story may be copyrighted.  So Hollywood can make infinite Robin Hood movies (the overall story is public domain) but each movie is copyrighed. -- sannse (talk) 18:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Google analytics
Hi, I'm a sysop on Nonciclopedia. Can you please allow me to view the reports of Google Analytics on our site? My email is difonzo.davide at gmail.com. Thanks -- 14:24, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, we aren't currently offering that. We are trying to get new stats on wikis though, basically Google stats on a special page.  That's something the developers are working on, so watch this space! -- sannse (talk) 18:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Removal of adminship
Hey Sannse, may you please remove my Admin/Bureaucratship from English Star Wars Fanon Wiki and my Adminship from English Fanon Wiki please? Thank you. -- Victor  ( talk ) 04:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Victor, are you sure about this? is there some problem I can help with? -- sannse (talk) 18:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm completely sure. Just read Forum:Stepping down. Thank you. -- Victor  ( talk ) 22:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * OK,it's done. Glad to hear you will still be around -- sannse (talk) 09:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

remove not active sysop from sysop list
in hebrew eincyclopadia. we vote to remove sysop rights from משתמש:oshani which not active in the site almost 2 years. in the middle of the vote, the user said that he agree to remove him from sysop list instead this vote. i will give you link and you deside if we must complate the vote (our low is 10 days) or the agreement of the user himself is quite and we can close the vote in honurer way now. tanks. 09:59, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * the link, the agrement of the user is in the end of the page 10:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This is my agreement in English. You can remove me. --Oshani 10:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * i closed the vote and deleted it, this is the honurest way to remove not active sysop. 11:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't really see a need to remove an inactive admin, but as you are all agreed - done -- sannse (talk) 19:58, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Atheism Wiki needs sysops
Uberfuzzy says there are no sysops on Atheism Wiki. I told him that I’m willing. I patrol Atheism Wiki daily. I feel it would be good if I could deal with vandals instead of reporting them. There is a continual small vandal problem with this Wiki.

R Fitzroy hasn’t said anything but he may be interested. He started a good page on blocking policies and wrote most of it. He’s discussed what sysops should do intelligently. He wrote other good material.

Bob M is a sysop on RationalWiki. He’s been to Atheism Wiki recently. I don’t know if he’s interested. Proxima Centauri 10:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Can you start a discussion with these and any other members of the community? If everyone agrees, then it will be great to make the three of you admins.  I see you don't have a forum at the moment, let me know if it would help for me to set that up. -- sannse (talk) 20:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I don’t think the others have been back since I last contacted you. The only changes were one case of vandalism which I dealt with. I’ve been patrolling regularly and checking for vandalism. The others may have checked for vandalism as well. I don’t know. I will start a discussion on their talk pages. Proxima Centauri 08:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

R Fitzroy is willing to be a sysop but can’t make a regular commitment. I’ve contacted Bob M at RationalWiki. He says he has other commitments. I can easily patrol Atheism Wiki at least once a day. I can patrol more often if there is heavy vandalism. By the way before I discovered Atheism Wiki I was considering suggesting a new Freethought Wiki. I’m keen to see Atheism Wiki succeed. Proxima Centauri 18:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, what I'll do is make you both admin and bureaucrat, then you can sort out who else to add. Don't forget, you can give them both sets of right if you like, and I often recommend that in cases like this.  Good luck, and let me know if you need anything! -- sannse (talk) 18:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Greetings
Thank you for your assistance.


 * No problem :) -- sannse (talk) 20:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

License tags
Because we already have all CC-BY-SA tags as templates in de.foto, it is not necessary to add one there. Thank you anyway. --Eva K. tell me about it 19:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, the template I added is part of the replacement for the Mini-upload feature - the new one is more flexible, allows uploads from flickr, Mediawiki Commons, or your computer, all without leaving the editing page. It also asks if you want to tag your image with this template, which is why I've added it Wikia-wide :) You should see more on this soon -- sannse (talk) 20:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That may be, but we took over our own system which has been proven on de-wikipedia. And in a wiki which deals with photography, we want to have our own photographs mainly, not those from flickr or whatever photo archive. Finally I'm not interessted in using templates in English in a German wiki or to translate all that stuff, nor does anyone else in our wiki. --Eva K. tell me about it 22:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Perhaps if you already have a template for that license, you could put it in that page? Or you could delete it until you see the new feature and decide what to do.  It looks like the new image upload application will call that page, so it will be somewhat broken if there's no page there.  Of course, it's up to you what you do :) -- sannse (talk) 08:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I asked Avatar what is going on there and he explained me that Wikia is developing an addiotional upload feature. AFAICS it is not a complete redesign of the standard upload which I was afraid of. Meanwhile I replaced the template's text with ours as you suggested. Will it be possible to fit the new feature to our needs if necessary? --Eva K. tell me about it 12:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen the latest version yet, but we are always keen to get feedback on new features, including ideas on how to make them just right for you -- sannse (talk) 19:38, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Gentle nudge
You may want to gently nudge this user; she seems to think that Central Wikia is her place to blog. --Sky 07:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Sky, looking now :) -- sannse (talk) 19:38, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Templates
Hi Sannse, can the templates in Wikia be just like templates in Wikipedia. I mean, can I just import the templates from Persian Wikipdia to Persian Wikia.--BlueDevil Talk 15:35, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There are a couple of things to consider... Wikipedia's templates often have many sub-templates. If you want the template you will also have to copy all sub-templates.  They also sometimes use css, which is in the site css page and will need copying over too.  And finally, Wikipedia uses a feature called HTMLTidy, which we don't use.  Sometimes that can mean that code that works there will break here (and vice versa).  So if you are sure you have everything copied, and it still doesn't work, then you will need to check the code carefully for problems caused by that.  Hope that helps -- sannse (talk) 20:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it was very helpful :-)-- BlueDevil Talk 23:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Dofus project name
Well me again with this... I have been giving 2nd thoughts to it to be more sure... on the reasons well its not that i hate the url we have but its a bit messy... we having the links issues (resolve with a clear cache client side), other specific link issues like the ones of report problems but most dont frequently read it so there no biggy there... but what its killing me its the javascrips we have no one at our wiki most of the JS was installed by me, i have a notion but coding its another story i have ask for JSharp help, he already repair the code but then i notice other stuff that where not working so im still stuck with that, i compare codes between the place prior to asking help and there was not significant difference, and if we have to customize every code we get from other wikis to out wiki due to the URL difference its going to be tedious for the me (since im the one that does all this things in our wiki) and to JSharp the one i will be having to constantly annoy... Also lately that i have try to start our politics, guidelines and other project stuff at the wiki im having the expression issue if i say Dofus needs your help we are referring to the wiki needs your help but as a random user they understand Dofus game designers need your help like many game wikis that have names so similar to their game we are working hard to differencing between the game designers and us (and i think i could compare that to wikia trying to differentiate from wikipedia as a clear example) and i guess that another name bit more catchy like Dofupedia or something like that would acknowledge that so i want to explore the option and would like to know what would require to do so?. --Cizagna (Talk) 19:58, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Cizagna. Changing the name of the wiki is no problem.  I can do that for you with a small settings change.  But that doesn't need to change the URL.  For example, Wookieepedia is at starwars.wikia.com, but the name is known and shown on the site.  So I think the problem you describe might best be solved by the community choosing a new name, without worrying about the URL.  Then I can set the namespace, the titlebar and the  variable to whatever you choose -- sannse (talk) 11:22, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Issues
Could you please look at this issue? Thank you! 19:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Help! (User talk:Angela)
I would also like to ask you for help. We have a terrible issue:

Wikistad
Dear Angela. On stad.wikia User:DimiTalen is a bureaucrat and sysop. He has said a few times he would leave the wiki forever but keeps returning to put a bad atmosphere there. We can't block him because he's a sysop (he can unblock himself) Could he please be desysoped and debureaucrated? --OWTB 14:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As soon as possible. He affects the whole wiki and we can't work anymore like this on our wiki. 15:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, he keeps affecting the whole wiki. The way he acts on Stad.wiki isn't the way you should act in a community like wikistad or an other wiki. -- 16:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Please, it's getting serious! :-( 19:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * We already had to block him for 3 days, but he can unblock himself, so we kind of need your help. 13:28, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you see? And they don't stop deleting pages. I'm getting worried. Now User:Ooswesthoesbes is also doing strange. 14:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I have answered myself on Angela's talk page and I would appreciate it if this issues was being discussed on one sole page. Thanks, 17:54, 29 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi all, I'm looking at the situation -- sannse (talk) 14:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I'll answer here, but if you would all prefer to move this to WikiStad, that's fine. I see you don't have a full forum there, so let me know if you want one set up - I've just done one for http://spoorwegen.wikia.com so you can have a look there to see what it's like.

So... I've looked at the complaints, and at some of the pages involved, and to be very frank it all looks like you are simply bickering. I think that needs to stop, and you need to start working together constructively. You are working out how to live in your imaginary land of Libertas ... well, that involves living together, resolving your differences, and finding ways to come together and create your land. So I ask you all to take a step back, look at what the actual issues are, and try to solve them. Leave aside arguments of who did what, or who blocked who, and decide between you how this wiki should work.

One other thing that needs discussing, is the wiki's policy on multiple accounts. Some fiction wikis allow these as different "characters" in the world they are building. Some don't. It would be good if you could discuss this and then, depending on what you decide, for anyone using more than one account to stop.

Thanks all -- sannse (talk) 16:14, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

You've got mail
Hi, Sannse. When you have the time, could you please take a look at your talk page on the Rappelz Wiki? Sorry if you already knew about the message, it's not urgent or anything, I'm just letting you know in case you have e-mail notifications turned off (you must get hundreds of new messages daily). :) Thanks in advance. Drennan 12:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Drennan, I've got email on for message, so no no worries... I just need to check one think with JSharp when he gets online (in about 2 hours) and I'll get back to you :) -- sannse (talk) 14:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Two languages, two wikis?
I've been doing some work on the Sega Wiki's main page, and I was going to add the Spanish Sega Wiki (SEGArcadia) as an option on the Languages widget we get on the Monaco toolbar. I was peeking at some other wikis and all they seemed to do was add a  to the bottom, so I tried that. Sega Wiki interpreted that as a page, so it tried to take me to http://sega.wikia.com/wiki/Es: instead of http://es.sega.wikia.com/wiki/Portada. I remember I registered Sega Wiki a while back, but I never registered the Spanish version, so I'm guessing someone else did that, which seems to be normal for a lot of other wikis too. But my question is: Am I not able to make a language link because they were somehow registered as two separate wikis or am I not reading the help section correctly? Thanks in advance, Wikada - Talk Contributions 18:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Wikada, interlanguage links are set up on request, rather than automatically when a wiki is created. So I've set them up for Sega and es.Sega now.  It sometimes takes a while for the setting to show on-wiki, so please let me know if it's not working in the next 24 hours. -- sannse (talk) 10:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh thanks! :) Wikada - Talk Contributions 13:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

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)

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,

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)

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)

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.

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)

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 --<font color="crimson" face="Lucida Console">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)

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 ^.^

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.

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!
