Wikicars
Hello. Wikicars would like to merge with Autopedia. Wikicars special:export does not work. Could you guys run a bot to get the 6,000 articles and 27,000 images moved over to autopedia? Is this possible? Thank you. ---Hockeyben 19:15, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikicars uses the GNU GPL license, I don't remember if that's compatible with Wikia or not. Assuming it is, you should get a database dump instead of using Special:Export - as Special:Import only takes files under 10mb, and 6000 articles is much larger than that.

The site doesn't provide a data dump. And nobody on it has mediawiki access. What im wondering is if a bot can import everything quickly and easily. ---Hockeyben 00:20, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, forget this. It won't work. To much spam would be imported, which means the whole idea of this would be useless. Sorry ---Hockeyben 00:25, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh wow, they really do have a spam problem. Thank you VSTF for making sure Wikia doesn't have anything like that!


 * Other than the spam, the license issues would be the main problem. The two licenses aren't compatible at all. However, if any of the authors there want to move content over that they wrote, that's fine (they own the copyright, so can put it on Wikia under the Creative Commons license we use). You don't have to have permission from all editors, if someone just did small contributions like corrections and formatting that doesn't matter - it's the person who wrote the main body of each article that has to agree.


 * And looking around, it looks as though some articles are copied from Wikipedia. They use the same license as us, so those articles can be transfered over too (with the correct attribution, which isn't always on the Wikicars site)


 * And finally, you can transfer over any information from the wiki you like. Facts are not copyrightable, so as long as you rewrite in your own words, any of the details they have gathered can be used on Wikia too.


 * All in all, it would be a lot of work... but it might be possible. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 03:19, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply.:) One user (Red marquis) did almost all the edits on wikicars (over 100,000) before he was blocked. He is fine with the articles being transferred. Is there a bot that you guys could run to get all 6,000 pages and 27,000 images over? I think this might be the best possible solution. Is there Amy way this will work? -Hockeyben 03:56, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll see if I can find someone to help :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:30, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm a administrator at Wikicars under the username Silver Knight. We were blocked there with no warning for indefinite; simply because we wanted to move to a better site that had a stable MediaWiki. Even though I dislike the Oasis skin Wikia has, I support moving to Wikia if you guys can do something about importing. --Knightrez(Talk) 15:11, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also you have a duplicate cars wiki: auto.wikia.com. I wonder if you mind cleaning that wiki (Deleting the articles to 0) if Wikicars/Autopedia manages to move here. Also, please redirect the URL: automobile.wikia.com to auto.wikia.com if that happens too. --Knightrez(Talk) 15:14, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Knightrez, if you are in favour too, then we can move your contributions as well as Red marquis'. The key is that you are still the copyright holder, so can agree to the license change. I've asked Angela and TOR to help with this, hopefully they can work out a way to move over the content that's OK. I'll ask them about merging/redirecting auto.wikia too -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:57, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

@Sannse. Can you also move TristanT's edits over? He agreed to the move as well. Also, only redirect automobile.wikia to auto.wikia if Wikicars succeeds in being moved. Thanks ---Hockeyben 18:42, July 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Hockeyben You support moving to Wikia? --Knightrez(Talk) 07:40, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

If they can import from wikicars, yes. -Hockeyben 15:15, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Sannse: Please do not ignore us. I've been waiting for 3 days for you to reply, obviously, this is the typical Wikia staff behavior. Please tell me if you can do anything about it. --Knightrez(Talk) 11:51, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can we PLEASE know how things are going? We've been waiting 11 days for a reply.---Hockeyben 17:41, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sheesh people, stop going crazy. Sannse is behind on answering her talk page messages. You don't need to keep pestering her. She will get to this when she goes through her talk page again. She is busy right now.--

Sorry for the delay all, I'm not intending to ignore you at all, it's just been a bit hectic recently! The support team is a small group, and we try to keep a lot of different things going at once. But I should have got back to you sooner, I'm sorry.

To update on the import. I've talked to one of the techy guys, and it's on his to-do list. He's traveling to San Francisco on Thursday (from the Poland office), so I'm not certain he'll be able to finish by then... but then he'll be in the same office as me for a while which should help us get this sorted.

What he's trying to do is to identify the articles that we have permission to copy over and re-license. We can't just import in full - we can only copy articles with no significant content from anyone other than the three who have agreed to the move. It's not easy, because we can't always identify automatically which articles are OK (for example, one that had a spam edit might look to a bot like one that isn't eligible). We want to copy over as much as possible, but without breaking the incompatible license. It's going to take some careful work to do it right. I'll update more when I hear how that's going -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:15, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hi Sannse I was wondering if you could help me out with a problem I have with a Wiki Site that I helped recently create for a User I know. The problem is this User who comes on to my Wiki Site for DC Comics Hero The Flash wanted to know how to create his own Wiki Site for The Flash so I decide to help him out. I told him I would create a new wiki site for you and then transfer all control over to you so it would make him head admin and basically the guy incharge. But after I did that task of transfering control over to this user I accidentally made the mistake of forgeting to give him the burocrate rights as well. After that happen the user didn't want the site even though he had the head admin rights feature and he also didn't want it because he didn't like the title of the sites name because it was to long. Overall what happen next was he create another site for The Flash which he has full control over. But what I was wondering could you guys possible get rit of the new Wiki Site I helped create for him or simply have someone else adopt it. The main reason behind this request is I would like to see someone have full control and able to run this site or simply get rit of it because I personally am not going to be able to help out in any because I have my own sites I run and that takes up most of my time. If you could help me in solving this problem I would be very happy the link to the site is below. Oh well talk to you when you send a message back hope you can help solve this problem.

Greatings
I am the bureaucrat of both Godzilla Wiki and King Kong Wiki the Godzilla wiki is a big community and has many information about godzilla and King Kong while the King Kong Wiki is a very small community and bearly anyone edits there, fans of King Kong come to godzilla wiki to edit there and add info about King Kong, because King Kong appeared in the godzilla franchise and films therefor godzilla wiki is the home of King Kong franchise and Godzilla ofcaurse, so King Kong Wikia.com will always be a small community, so I would like to request to merge the two wikis together, but not now if this is possible I will first notify the communities, then I will move the content from King Kong Wiki to godzilla wiki, thanks.--MarwanNabihWikia (Talk | contribs) 15:03, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you and the communities of both wikis think it will work, then that's fine :) Please let us know via the contact form when you are ready, and we can redirect the URL of the King Kong wiki -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 03:24, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
Is there a way to change which four categories appear at the top of my Wikia? Like how Community Central's four are 'Learn About the Wikia', 'Wikia News', etc etc. My wikia always shows the categories with the most pages on them, which I want to change and select individual categories to show. I'm sure something says how to change it somewhere, but I apologize because I can't find out how. If it helps, when I edit the mediawiki page, it says:


 * visited|TopContent


 * category1


 * category2


 * category3

User rights drama on GTAWiki
Hi Sannse. I'm posting this to your talk page instead of using the Help Contact Form because you were the one who dealt with this in the past.

I'm sure you remember the situation on GTAWiki with the old crew of sysops starting a new wiki and trying to turn GTAwiki into an advertising post. One of the first things you did was desysopped User:Chimpso. User:Biggest gta fan ever (who is currently serving an indefinite block you handed to him) promptly resysopped him. Since all this started Chimpso had only contributed to edit war with active staff and write a blog advertising the other wiki.

I started a discussion on GTAWiki about desysopping him via community vote expecting it would pass easily, but he showed up to defend himself, and it failed by a 3-2 vote. At that time I was unaware that you had desysopped him so I let it go. I only discovered that he was desysopped and resysopped, tonight. And so I decided to bring it to your attention. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 07:34, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see this has been resolved by the community on the wiki -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:42, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Sannse, on this wiki, one of the admins there swearing a lot. Here is a link to his userpage. My request is, can you please remove his adminship power? Thanks!

Blog comments
Hi Sannse, on, blog comments have been implamented without any consensous within the community. I would also like to ask for the removal of Izzyfan's bureaucrat and sysop rights. I've been inactive from the wiki for awhile, but I didn't mean to see this when I get back. <-- That should explain everything. Archie 15:07, July 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * ..can help you:)


 * Looks to me as though you need to have some conversations on the wiki - including a discussion with the community as a whole on whether Izzyfan should keep admin rights. Then, as Roranoa zoro said, the contact form is the best way to get help. But please try to work this out between you first :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:55, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Please remove a Wikia
Excuse me, but there's a Wikia that claims to be official, but confuses the game continuity with the TV show and comic continuities. The Wikia is called SonicTheHedgehog Wikia. I'm afraid that people will read the content on this wikia and become confused with the Sonic media. I don't mean to sound rude, but please remove it. Also, the creator of the wikia is somewhat of a troll. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master   True gamers lesbian the Scott Pilgrim series  00:52, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't see anything claiming that it's official. And we have no problem with there being more than one wiki on the same topic... whichever is the best wiki will attract the most viewers and visitors :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:02, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, it tries to combine all Sonic continuities into one, and claiming it all to be canon. He said something like that on a blog on another Sonic-related wikia. He was also banned from that wikia for harrasement and trolling. Not to mention the front page says "Fan Fiction is Not Allowed". One example of false info is claiming that Sonic is related to Tonic (StC character) and Sonia and Manic (Sonic Underground characters), while saying that his real name is Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog, which is his early "real" name in the Archie comic continuity. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master   True gamers lesbian the Scott Pilgrim series  01:10, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * All of these are reasons it might not be a good wiki, or that might not grow and become popular... but not reasons to close it. Think of it like any other website - you can make a badly maintained site, or to build one that gets it's facts wrong... it's just not going to be a site that people are likely to point to, refer to, or visit :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:31, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Page Layouts
Hello, Sannse. This is a similar request to my last one, although I've seen this happen. On the Phineas and Ferb Wiki, when you click "Create a Page" under the search bar, in addition to the normal text of the popup, you'll get a message saying to instead go to the page creation portal. The wiki is pretty much run by this one user who is great with coding, so I'm assuming he did it. How did he do it? I would like to do something similar on my wiki.

 * I've no idea :) best to ask him.
 * There are lots of hacks that are possible, and as long as they don't disrupt or remove features, or otherwise damage visitors' experience, they are OK - see Help:Customization_policy for more on what's allowed.
 * We don't encourage that sort of customization in general, mainly because it can break things easily and might get broken in turn by changes we make our end. And as we don't support it, it's much more likely that people on the forums or on the wiki in question will know how it's done. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:50, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

A few ideas to help wikia
Hi Sannse! I few a ideas or products to help wikia! They are below. Well please tell me what you think and i would really like you to comment on each feature i said, it would really be nice, but its up to you so its optional. But i would like a response. Thanks! TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 00:26, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * One- My friend Roads recently made a blog about wiki wide messages, kinda like staff can do site wide messages except admins can make in the wiki not the whole site, wikia. We could have something like Special:WikiWideMessages.
 * Two- Chatmods can time limit kickbans like for 1 month or a year, or even a day. Its kinda like a regular ban.
 * Three- This one is really not neccesary but admins can lock special places of a page not just the entire page.
 * Four- This one again is not really neccesary but wikia contributers could have rollback user rights given by bureaucrats.
 * Five- Each new found wiki can have a time clock above the random page button and wiki activity button, like the one here, http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity- i programed it myself. This way users could tell the time quickly by just looking up when there on anypage instead of just signing their name to tell the time.
 * Six- Chat could have a few new features like private chating with multiple people instead of one, censoring curse words and when a person types one of those bad words, on the bottom it says something like, "that word is not allowed, and allowing users to reedit their message to others. This can really take stress off of chatting people.
 * Seven- Fonts- when you are typing a message you could change it to a different font, this is not neccesary though.
 * Eight- Well basically we could have a group of users that have admin and bureaucrat powers that are called SOPs or Sysops on Patrol, kinda like VSTF but these people search for bad bureaucrats or admins and users can report to the SOPs like the VSTF and have a channel. This takes alot of work off of staff members and helpers that have tons of work.
 * Nine- Well this one basically lets admins add their own badges instead of staff members. It would take work off of staff members and make it easier for both staff and admins.


 * Don't say "wiki contributors" if you mean an IP user. You, me, and even Sannse are all "wiki contributors." Say "IPs" or "unregistered contributors."

Re:Please Give People Space
Hey, Sannse!

Thanks for your message, and I will heed your advice. Also, does it have to be me that has to back off? I mean, what they in turn said about me was no better than what I said about them, so would you think it is out of the question for them to stop sending intimidating messages to me. But nevertheless, I will try not to talk to the users in question again.

Thanks,

Big Problem
A user named Finnal Anto made a Romanian Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki called Ben 10-Fans. It sounds good at first, but he keeps stealing people's made-up aliens from the BTFF wiki. Please delete it. Nobody gave him permission to do this. He was blocked on the BTFF wiki for swearing and ripping people off, so he made a wiki to get away with it. Please delete the wiki.

 * Hi, it's best to report this via the contact form. In general though, we allow more than one wiki on the same topic and it's even possible to copy pages (as long as you give proper attribution). In my experience, it's often better to ignore wikis created when a problem user is banned - they rarely last, and they are keeping him busy elsewhere instead of him causing problems on your wiki. Better to concentrate on improving your wiki, then it will always be the one that shows on Google and that people find :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:17, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Sannse,

Still waiting on my raise, minivan and unlimited power. I check my doorstep and mailbox religiously. No dice.

Large backgrounds
I'm new to Wikia and I am currently working on a Wikia page. I would like to add a background to my Wikia so that it doesn't look bland, but I am unable to. Do you happen to know how I can upload large pictures to use as backgrounds? Thank you.


 * You can upload a large background by uploading your picture directly to File:Wiki-background on your wiki with Special:Upload.

Blatant Theft
Hello Sannse, You might remember me as an admin on the Bleach Wiki. Recently it has come to my attention that a certain user (Alzanino). He apparently is a admin on the Polish Bleach Wiki. In any case he has been blatantly stealing the hard work created by our own site. Im talking about uploaded pics, codes for uniquely created infoboxes, article layout even the background and color theme as well as the main page which i created not but a week or two ago. There is nothing remotely unique about the site besides what portions he has converted into polish and even that is just the Bleach Wiki information in Polish. None of the work was done by him or the people working on his site but rather a cut and paste job of are own wiki. Now im not sure if this is the type of community that the wiki wants to create but I personally havent spent the past 5 years and I know that rest of the community at the Bleach Wiki hasnt either just to be ripped off. Now I created some infoboxes yesterday, and then im shown that this which looks Looks familiar and exactly what I just personally created. Now to make the situation clear I looked at all the other Bleach Related sites.


 * German Bleach Wiki - Retsu Unohana
 * Spanish Bleach Wiki - Retsu Unohana
 * Russian Bleach Wiki
 * French Bleach Wiki - Retsu Unohana

All these other sites have done their own thing without blatant copying. Now I would hate for Wiki to condone someones misuse of other peoples hard work and unique skill. I have read all about Duplicate Duplicate Wikis and this situation falls entirely under all the negative and unproductive aspects of the issue. Will you please do something about this.--Salubri Talk


 * Give the user a warning that you'll report him to staff if he does not stop, if he contiunes, go to Special:Contact. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 14:19, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Have you talked to the user? That's definitely the first thing to do. Note that as long as the PL wiki links to the English bleach wiki and names all it's authors, that wiki may freely use any of your information/work without your permission (see Community_Central:Licensing and Creative Commons). - Tjcool007 (Talk) 14:43, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

(reset indent) Sannse, I have been talking to Dopp about this issue and I don't feel our complaint is being properly heard. We get that the polish bleach wiki is not supposed to be a competitive site to the english language wiki but when we have worked so hard for years to make the Bleach Wiki what it is today. We don't exactly find it fair that Alzanino can just come in and take whatever he wants from us because he runs an alternate language wiki on the same topic. As soon as I uploaded two pictures today, he took them and uploaded them to his site and they aren't even in use. All our hard wiki is being taken and passed off as his. There is no recognition given to the people who have made this content what it is nor is there anything at all that says that the content is not his. According to CC-BY-SA, that content is free to use so long as it is attributed to the original source. He has not done this. We respectfully request that his material either be attributed to us or removed due to violating this. --

Never mind. I made him a template he can put on all his pages which gives us attribution. He agreed to put it on his pages. --


 * I'm glad this got sorted, sounds like you came up with the right solution :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  01:24, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry..
Hi, Sannse,

I have recently seen a certain user going by the name of Flex217 (link to userpage) creating a new account, Lightning Mythran, to avoid bans on 3 Wikies, which is sockpuppetry. I'm just reporting this, seeing as sockpuppetry is against the Wikia guidelines.

Copyright
If a wikia uses personal and / or copyrighted material without my consent is there somewhere I can get it shut down / removed?


 * It depends on the situation. If the content is under a free license (as most things written on Wikia are) then they usually just need to attribute it correctly.  If it's just random copyrighted content, then the copyright holder can contact us with a copyright takedown notice and we'll remove it.  Usually that doesn't mean removing the whole wiki though, just the problem content.

Close account
Hey, I was kind of hoping that you can cancel my account. I'm Daimon Cray and I want my account closed.


 * Hi, you need to use the contact form for this. Although you can also just leave the account, it doesn't need to be disabled -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  01:52, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
Hello. Could you please check if I have been IP ban exempt? If not, do you know who can? Thank you for your time. &gt;_&lt; Demise101 &gt;_&lt; 22:32, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

If you had a ip ban then you would be banned if the ip was linked to your account. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 22:33, July 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, IP blocks prevent anyone attempting to access Wikia from that particular IP, regardless of account, from editing pages, with the exception of users with the  right, which is included in the admin group on Wikia. In simple terms, admins are immune to IP blocks when logged in.
 * Demise, if that didn't answer your question (you only have this when you are an admin on the wiki in question) then please let us know more details of the situation that's worrying you -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  01:54, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Updating
Hi, If you are leaving a question here, please remember that it's often quicker to use the contact form or the forum. I'm catching up here about once a week at the moment, so it's not always the best way to get help (despite the kindness of those who reply here - thanks all!) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  01:04, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Upload
I can upload a photo to my wikia site, however, when press the button to post a photo on a page nothing happens (the GUI box doesn't even disappear). I know the button is being pressed because the GUI shows that it is pushed down and released.

Top Wikis
My top wikis section has stopped working. When I edit one of my top sites, it doesn't update. My top wiki says 248 edits, but I've done about five edits since then. Please help! Dynovan 08:40, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Template issues
On Wiksteria Lane, I have tried to make an episode navigation system - but there's something wrong with it. The template at the very top of the page is the one we're having trouble with --> http://desperatehousewives.wikia.com/wiki/One_Wonderful_Day

And I want it to look like the template on the very top of this page --> http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Pilot,_Part_1

Please help and thank you :) 13:54, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Template
How do I get the text of a page to appear in a page on another wiki. That may sound weird, so here's an example. I want the text of my userpage on Ben 10 Fan Fiction to appear on my userpage on Ben 10 Fan Fiction Answers. What do I type in? If you don't know, who should I ask instead?

Roads is a Wikia user! Duh! -_- 17:32, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Interwiki transclusion can only be done from Community Central. You can create a template here and transclude it on your userpage on both Ben 10 and Ben 10 fan fiction with . Be aware that interwiki transclusion ignores parameters and   tags, so you'll only get exactly what you put on the page here.


 * Oh. Thanks anyway.
