Request powers
Sorry for my English:) I am the founder of the Polish version Juvepedia. There is also Italian. On the Italian version has no editing, no one is not it occupies. I would like to deal with it, so please powers bureaucrat and an administrator. Gudyś 08:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, we have a new page for Wiki adoption requests. Please can you move your requests to there? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 10:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Wiki adoption requests
any time estimate for when there gonna be accepted/declined or is it a play it by ear sort of thing?

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 19:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * We are trying out the new system, and we'll see how it works as we go. I intend to look at the list daily (except when other stuff stops me - like yesterday) but some staff will be specifically responsible for some requests - I'll skip Entertainment ones for example, others will be looking at those.  If it all turns out to be too slow, we'll look again at the idea - the usual wiki experimental way :) -- sannse (talk) 10:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

new section
on wookiepedia darth culator ban people for no reson and vadilized their user page


 * Please talk to the local admins about this. Although trying to get him to ban another user is unlikely to have helped your case. -- sannse (talk) 19:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

You replied to everyone on the wiki adoption bit (including people behind and in front of me) except me!


-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 18:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Semajdraehs, it's just because I don't deal with the entertainment ones :) someone from that team will be along soon to look at your request -- sannse (talk) 18:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

ok thanks, just on a note though, I have a query about the different hubs as i'm not sure which one it should belong to as it is a series of books (plain and simple in the book section), however it was also a three season tv series (could also go in entertainment), so i'm not sure if that would class it into the entertainment hub/category/thing?

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 19:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Entertainment sounds right then.. we are reviewing hubs at the moment, so that should get looked at by the Entertainment team :) -- sannse (talk) 19:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Help:Job queue
I had a disscussion on this on the help page and asked about how a job queue works and apparantly its meant to take one job and execute it for every page load, however according to the people on the help desk (and checking myself) it is revealed that all the jobs from the job queue are executed in one go, every so many days (leaving big gaps inbetween jobs being exected), is there a way to set it so 1 job is executed every page load?

p.s woo for living on east coast (lives near Humber)

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 09:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Clacton-on-sea here :)
 * The reason the job queue is only cleared every now and then, is because those tasks are heavy on the servers. Or at least, they are when there are a lot of them.  If a page needs something updated, it will happen as the page is opened (for example if the job is to update the content of a template), but otherwise the updates are queued to happen at quiet times and save resources (which applies to most special page updates).  It's a compromise between good site speed and regular database updates.
 * Sorry it's not the reply you wanted! -- sannse (talk) 21:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Its just sometimes its a bit annoying when you update a template and it doesn't show in certain parts (it took two days for a template change to effect the wanted pages list)

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 10:33, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * the wanted pages list is also cached, and only updates when the same script that runs the job queue is run. --Uberfuzzy 12:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge the Snail's Wiki into the Nature Wiki
Merge the Snail's Wiki into the Nature Wiki please. A desicion has been made here:[http://snails.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Proposal_to_merge_into_the_Nature_Wiki ] where the Snail Wiki's founder and one and only active user has supported the proposed merge. Thank you. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 13:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, the best way to do this is for you to move the content - which you can do via Special:Export and Special:Import. You will also need to copy over the images.  Once you have done this, let me know, and I can redirect the URL.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 13:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, its done. :)--Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 13:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * And it's redirected :) -- sannse (talk) 21:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Having Problems
I'm having some problems editing on all of Wikia. Whenever I press the edit button my computer asks if I want to save a file called "index" or sometimes it says "wikia", etc. I can only seem to press the "leave comment" button.Also whenever there's a heading, on any wiki, it shows numbers from 1 onwards for each heading. And also whenever I go into the edit screen the edit button don't show up. Is this just with me or is this some kind of bug on Wikia. I tries everything, even restarting my computer. Please tell me how I can fix this. Thank you. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 14:27, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Have you had this problem on any other sites? I've not heard any other reports of this so far.  It's always worth clearing your cookies and cache, although I'm not sure it will help in this case.  Does this happen on all pages? or just some.  If it's just some, please can you give me the links of some pages it happens on.  You may need to consider updating your browser, if that's possible.  As it seems to be isolated so far, it may be a problem with that rather than Wikia. -- sannse (talk) 19:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It happens on any page when I press the "Edit this page" button. A file starts to get saved called "index.php". Then inside that file, when I look at it on MS Word, or most of the programs, it contains the following text:

[Process] Type=Edit text Engine=MediaWiki Script=http://nature.wikia.com/index.php Server=http://nature.wikia.com Path= Special namespace=Special

[File] Extension=wiki URL=http://nature.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit&internaledit=true It contains different text when im at different pages, this one is when I tried to edit the main page of the Nature Wiki. And then only when I do use the URL the file has provided to edit can I edit. But it gets annoying to keep having to add the "&internaledit=true" part to the correct URL when I want to edit. Even then my problems continue, such as the edit buttons not appering, etc. All these problems only seem to happen on this account. I tried editing logged out and on another account and it worked okay, but still had a bit of problems. Although, I still need this account as it contains a lot of things that I can't transfer over to a new account. Any idea how I can do someyhing about this? Thanks. --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 05:06, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I see what's wrong.  You have "Use external editor by default" selected in your preferences, and so the wiki is trying to export the page to another program for editing.  Please go to your preferences, select the "editing" tab, and uncheck "Use external editor by default".  That should do it. -- sannse (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It worked! Thanks Sannse! --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 16:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Power removal
Hiya sannse. Just requesting removal of sysop powers (not rollback powers, though...I quite like them :P) on Wookieepedia. Thanks, Thefourdotelipsis 02:34, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * All sorted, after discussion on IRC :( -- sannse (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

New namespace
Dear Sannse! We need a new namespace in the Hungarian Spamwiki, called Hírek (in English: news). We collects the news about spams and it can be useful for us. (Please note the character í.) Thank you for your help! --blogadmin 17:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * And can you active the Invite Friends extension, please? --blogadmin 11:26, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, a new namespace is no problem. Can you confirm that the talk pages should be at "Hírek vita"?
 * The "invite friends" extension is on hold at the moment. We are checking on some issues with it, and it will be available again as soon as that's done.  I've put the wiki on the list of people interested in this and similar extensions -- sannse (talk) 15:07, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hírek vita is okay. Thank you, please sign me if it is ready. --blogadmin 17:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That's all done (and a note left on your talk page) -- sannse (talk) 06:17, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! --blogadmin 08:30, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucrat and Adminship
Hi, can you make me both an Administrator and Bureaucrat on the Jak and Daxter Wiki please. There is no admins or bureaucrats on that wiki, and i edit it a lot, so can you make me a Admin and Bureaucrat on that wiki. You can do it in this page, Thanks. KrazyKat 05:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, all adoption requests need to go on Wiki adoption requests now please -- sannse (talk) 15:08, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

more problems at eincyclopedia
according to our internet explorer users, the main page at our newest project, einminim, has a problem in which the side bar is below the page it self and the text is very small. RaymondAK-47 15:20, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That sounds like you have a missing &lt;/div> or a faulty table somewhere on the page. If you can give me a link to the page you mean I can try and find it (although I'm mostly away for the next day or so). -- sannse (talk) 15:59, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * . 16:42, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I found it, looks fine now :) -- sannse (talk) 06:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Thats great thank you. :) RaymondAK-47 14:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Jak and Daxter Wiki
Hi, I know there a few other users there, but I really want to become a Admin and Bureaucrat on there, and if you give me the powers, I will apoint other users on that wiki, with admin powers. Thanks for your help. KrazyKat 09:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I won't make you admin without the other users being consulted. That wouldn't be fair.  And, to be honest, it is rather sounding as though you want these rights just for the badge - there is a lot you can do for a wiki without being admin, perhaps that would be better -- sannse (talk) 09:12, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Aww come on
Aww, come on, please make a admin. I don't want any badge, i just want help edit the wiki more. KrazyKat 09:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You can do that without being admin :) there are plenty of things you can do to help as an editor. -- sannse (talk) 12:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

New Namespaces, etc for the Nature Wiki
Hi Sannse, could you please add the following namespaces to the Nature wiki:


 * NatureNews - the page tab should be "Newspage" and the talk page tab should be "Collaboration".
 * Dictionature - the page tab should be "Definition" and the talk page tab should be "Discuss".
 * NatureStories - the page tab should be "Story" and the talk page tab should be "Comments".
 * Portal - the page tab should be "Portal" and the talk page tab should be "Discuss".

Also, the Nature Wiki Tagline doesn't seem to be working?

Thank you for your time! =) --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 14:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, that was a bit tricky, but I've got most of it sorted. The namespaces exist, and the article tabs are all set correctly.  However, the talk page tabs seem to be trickier, it may not be possible without some really fancy js or something.  TOR is looking into it for us.  The tagline is fixed too, you just needed a small change in the common.css
 * Let me know if anything doesn't look right -- sannse (talk) 10:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello again, here are some additions and specifications to my requests:

Requests for some more namespaces:


 * Project - the page tab should be "Project" and the talk page tab should be "Discussion".
 * Team - the page tab should be "Team" and the talk page tab should be "Discuss".

Also please delete the Naturestories namespace and replace it instead with "Naturebooks", the page tab should be "Book" and the talk page tab should be "Comments". Sorry about this but the Project proposer seems to have had a change of mind. >_>

One more thing, last time I forgot to say which new namespace's pages should count towards the article count. They should be the "NatureNews", "Dictionature" and "Naturebooks".

- Thanking you once again, Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 11:28, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, the namespaces are set up, and the "count". You can see from my contributions how I changed the article tab, just watch out for the case, the names of the pages have to be lower case.  Still nothing on changing the talk page tabs, TOR isn't in today, so will probably be looking at that next week.  -- sannse (talk) 10:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, Thank you, just please remember to ask TOR to fix those problems. :) --Kushan_I.A.K.J (Talk) 11:24, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Colored codings
Hi, could you tell me when the Dofus wiki will have the color coding for css/js pages? or do i have to request some where? --Cizagna (Talk) 18:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That's an "on request" one. I've turned it on for Dofus :) -- sannse (talk) 10:21, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you --Cizagna (Talk) 14:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Birds Wiki new namespace
Hey sannse! Just wondering if you could make the "ID" and "ID talk" namespaces on Birds Wiki. We were thinking of making some short ID cards for species and such. Thanks for your help! swannie talk 02:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Swannie, that's done :) -- sannse (talk) 10:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Admin removal
Hi, would you mind removeing sysop powers from KrazyKat on the R&C wiki. We've had some more problems and I htink adminship needs removing ASAP.

Also, on SWGames, there is a forum here, where a list of innacitve administrators were voted on. They all need de-sysoping. Thanks, 11:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, have you discussed KrazyKat with others on the wiki? Are the other admins agreed?
 * I've removed the admin flag on the inactive admins on SWGames. One of them edited recently, so maybe he's back! let's hope so :) -- sannse (talk) 10:26, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

DS Adoption
Ok, I've recieved 3 votes for on adoption, none neutral and none against. Is that enough (it's basicly all the community)? -- Yowuza TALK 2 ME! 11:43, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That looks fine :) and you are now admin/bureaucrat. -- sannse (talk) 10:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Connecting multiple language wiki's togethere (thru language bar) ?
Greetings Sannse - there are now several language version of Ikariam wikia (English, Dutch / Nederlands, Finnish, French/Français, Hungarian/Magyar, Polish/Polski, Serbian/Српски amd Swedish) - Is there a way to link them to gether thru the language bar? when I click on the language bar on english site it just shows English, on Dutch it just shows Nederland and so on - ( Morph  | Contribs | Talk ) 22:14, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, that's all set up. There is one link that's not working, but it should show up within the next 24 hours.  They are sometimes a bit sticky -- sannse (talk) 11:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks - I did not know it was that simple as for the Dutch main page or pagename to link to that specific page on the Dutch server - thanks again - now to add those tages  to all the pages (over 800 to go thru) --  anyone have a bot ? -- ( Morph  | Contribs | Talk ) 17:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It needs setting up first, that markup doesn't work until we've added stuff on the server side of things (just in case anyone reads this and is confused :) -- sannse (talk) 08:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

adoption
may i adopt beanie babies wiki.there r no current active users or admin.contact me here-. thanks. Rakkety Tam  Talk! 00:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Replied there -- sannse (talk) 11:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I Need help!
Sannse, it seems you may be my only hope. Not only has Angela not responded to my comments about Mercenaries Wiki on Wikia Gaming, I fear some of the other staff members are gone as well! I need me, as well as the user PATX to become admins on Mercs Wiki for two reasons, first and foremost is that the only other admin has been inactive since last year. Second, with out an admin, i fear that this wiki will fall into disarray, and may even become dead. I ask you not only for me, but also for the wiki. Thank you, Demon Razgriz Talk to Me 01:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Rather dramatic language for a request for adminship.... but.... as you've been waiting a while, I've made both of you admin/bureaucrats. -- sannse (talk) 19:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Stinkowing
I hate to dig up old things, but if you remember, you did a CheckUser on me which proved I was from Ontario, and nothing else. Well Stinkowing took it one step too far, and continually claimed I was my friend Tyler, who is currently working in Alberta as we speak. Christine proceeded to IP range ban me for no reason whatsoever, except for the CheckUser you performed which once again only proved that I'm in Ontario, and NOTHING ELSE. Well recently, for some reason, the range ban kinda...er...stopped?..and so I labelled the remaining subpages I had on the RuneScape Wikia for deletion. Well, once again, Stinkowing took his assumptions and reblocked my account with the following message: "Ban/block evasion....Total again". I cannot stress enough how angry I am with Stinkowing's stubbornness and I am amazed that he's still a sysop, what with his current attitude towards me, simply because I am a close friend of Tylers.

I was wondering if you could maybe talk to him, straighten things out, and maybe get this pathetic block removed, since all he tends to do is flatout spam me with "CHECKUSERS DON'T LIE!". He can't seem to get the fact that the Checkuser only proved that I live in Ontario through his head, and also because this block is unfair and unjust, and it's simply the sysops playing communist over at the RSW. Thanks! Daedryon•T•C•E• 02:52, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, this is an issue for the Runescape admins. -- sannse (talk) 20:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow. -.-; Alot of help you've been. There's no point in me even trying to deal with them as they won't listen to me. Daedryon•T•C•E• 00:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

User Levels
Hello, I am Darth Storm, a beauracrat of the Tesfanon Wiki, would you mind helping us set up the User Levels on our wiki? Darth Storm 16:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * That feature is still experimental and only on a couple of wikis so far. Hopefully we will be able to get it out to more wikis sometime in the future -- sannse (talk) 20:29, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Adminship again
I thought I'd leave a new message, to make sure you see it. If the active user on SWGames was Brentpowell, he was just removing content from his user page etc and will not be editing again (most likely).

About KrazyKat, he keeps reverting or going against things that I and other users do, also one other admin has agreed with me, the other admins are only occasionly acitve and only made him an admin on my recommendation (I thought he was up to it). KrazyKat's removal is fairly urgent, as there have been a few major problems, such as editing of the skin daily and copying which resulted in us having Darthipedia's skin for at least a day due to me being on holiday, and the other admin unable to undo the edit or contact wikia. Darthipedia also had a particulary unsuitable skin for the R&C wiki that day, considering the games are rated 3+ to 12+, I won't specifiy... That is one of few large problems we've had with the user, he's a great editor, just not so good with the admin side yet. He also does major things without hte consent of the community, which is yet another reason. It may turn out to be this way jut for a few months or something, but a prime example of why I wanted it to be done quickly was how the user reverted my edit, in which I moved the main page as suggested by the wikia google ranking page, without consulting me, or even asking me about it.

Sorry for the long message! 16:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I've removed KrazyKat, let's hope it can be resolved soon -- sannse (talk) 21:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

SWF admin removal
NKSCF has just resigned as Administrator on Star Wars Fanon. When you have the chance, please remove his administrative powers. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

A question on copyright.
Hi, I was just wondering if adding in video game scripts into wiki articles is a copyright violation? Dan the Man 1983 21:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't give legal advice of course :) but generally speaking, any text written by someone else is likely to be copyrighted. Very old text may not be, and the author may have made specific decisions to allow copying, but otherwise you should assume that it's not OK to copy it.  You may be able to you small excerpts of the text under "fair use", but that's very unlikely to apply to whole scripts.  Hope that helps -- sannse (talk) 09:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Project Pages
Hi Sannse,

I'm still working hard as an Admin on my Wiki but I have a question to ask that I can't figure out the answer to.On other wikis that I edit/visit project page titles, using the Final Fantasy Wiki as an example, are Final Fantasy Wiki: (Page).

However, on our site they are merely Dynasty Warriors: (Page), this is annoying as, for titles of some of our articles (namely game articles) we need to use colons, but if we do the site thinks it's a project page.

Is there anyway to change the project pages to Dynasty Warriors Wiki: (Page) as this is starting to become a pain?

Thanks in advance. --Aeon lord92 07:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
