Lostpedia - Jabrwocky7
Yeah, I don't think he's suitable to be an admin over at Lostpedia - basically he created a stupid page on a box on a wikia based on Lost the TV show. So I suggested to delete it and he tells me to "get the fuck off" and then I say why it should be deleted and he says "if it annoys you so much, I can block you for the rest of the day". Clearly I didn't do anything wrong; he did and then he threatens to block me... I think you should consider letting him keep his privileges. -> Evidence is here http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:The_Box#Delete -- Julietfan2626

You should send this to Special:Contact--

Could you do it for me, I have no idea what to do :) -- Julietfan2626

Tekken wiki and other wikis
It has come to my attention,that there is a hacker,in the wikis it's best if you guys look into this,the hacker goes by many IP's(Hangingmanpeter0 23:03, April 1, 2011 (UTC))


 * The odds of hacking a wiki are extremely remote. However, please send this to Special:Contact with as much information you have. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:22, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Wikis on IRC
Hey dude. I has an idea to use the layout of the Wikis on Facebook page to make a page for Wikia Wikis on IRC. Here's a link. May I improve it a bit and add it into the namespace so that other Wikis can add their channels? Thanks! -- Zombie talk • blog 10:23, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That looks like it could be a good idea. I'll bring it up with the rest of the community team to see what they think. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:00, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Save GTA Wiki please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The admin A-Dust sent a take down request for articles to Wikia because I copied articles from www.grandtheftwiki.com to this wiki, but this is not copyrighted to them, they have no right to delete these articles, they are not the owners of any information, its rockstar that owns all the names and information, and the articles they have are created by users just like here. So please consider this first please before deleting any article here, they just doen't want any benefit to Wikia or this wiki, they jut want to destroy it!: here's a link to what he said: http://gta.wikia.com/Talk:Liberty_City/New_York_Landmarks thanks.

www.grandtheftwiki.com is a website they made because of a dispute between them and wikia and took all the articles that this wiki has, there. So there is no reason for them to delete articles, it's not copyrighted to them if it is a violation to any copyright law then they must delete their's.WikisEditor 21:40, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

About time someone actually did something with that blog. Good work sir.--

Could you review my promotion request on GTA Wiki
Here's a link: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Adoption_requests#Bureaucrat_Promotion_Request.


 * Hi. We look at adoption requests in the order that they're posted. We'll get to yours as soon as possible. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:28, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Brandon, ignore this. Dopp took care of his adoption request but he is not happy they chose not to give him Bureaucrat rights, only admin rights.--

Archer Wiki
Hi Brandon, I apologize if this is inappropriate, but on the Adoption page you mentioned we might be able to review my request to adopt the Archer Wiki on April 15th. I notice a lot of requests that are on hold haven't gone anywhere, so I wasn't sure what the procedure was to get a review, do I post another request? Mine was the request to adopt the Archer Wiki. And I posted on update with the things you said I should follow up on.

You Don't like Me When Im Frustrated
Hey Brandon, do you know any way to change the names of pictures? It is REALLY frustrating putting the names of them in the character templates when the names are just a bunch of random letters & numbers(Well, I guess it's partly my fault cause Im the one who uploaded them that way,...ButThatsNotTheMatterHere!!) So, can you help me out?

Guradian1098 04:46, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey. If you're an admin, you can rename them the same way you can rename a page, using the "Edit" button on the file information page. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 04:49, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, Gotcha. But if I remember correctly, Small Owl, Gunius and I will be made admins on Guardians of GaHoole Wiki, Am I right? I remember from here. --Guradian1098 03:52, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't need to keep changing the timestamp on your message. I replied to the adoption request 2 days ago and I'm currently awaiting a response. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:56, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Deletion
I have two wiki's the Rex The Runt Wiki and the Ball Hockey Wiki. While the Rex The Runt wiki is small time and nobody goes there yet I'm planning on making it useful. But the Ball Hockey Wiki is about extremely minor youth ball hockey leagues and I was wondering how to delete it as not to clog up room on Wikia.

Tyler2513 23:29, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't have to worry about taking up room, there's more than plenty! But if you do want it closed, you can send a request from the wiki to Special:Contact asking for it to be closed. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:43, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

I am having a hard time as an admin
Greetings, I am the admin of GTA Wiki, and I am having a hard time as one, I would like to be promoted as bureacrat please, I can't promote other people or edit the MediaWiki or anything, Wikia was testing me so they gave me just admin rights and I think I made a great job, I stoped vandalism, and I think the wiki is getting alot better now, User:Bola should be helping me but he doesn't log in much, last time I told him to promote people for me he didn't reply or did promote them. Me and The Tom are having things under control and I think I deserve the promotion, this wiki needs more admins and there are few Me and The Tom think they deserve to become one, thanks.WikisEditor 11:47, May 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Admins are allowed to edit in the MediaWiki namespace. As for the rest of your message, you may wish to talk with Merrystar instead, as she's the one who gave you the rights.


 * The only thing a Bureaucrat can do that an admin can't is change user rights. MediaWiki is freely available to be changed by admins.--

RE: Dublicate Wiki
Brandon, in response to your email about the issue I contacted Wikia about, request contact number 18965, or at least I think that is the number you guys use for that. After just a quick discussion, we think it would be better all around for you to make the contact, so if you wouldn't mind doing that, we'd appreciate that. Thanks in advance. Lancer1289 23:51, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Brandon, I'm sure SpartHawg948, the B'Crat on the ME wiki will leave you a message at some point, as he has a few questions, but there is something that keeps bothering me. Since he is basically importing the entire site, pictures, templates, articles, from my understanding of the situation, he would need to import everything and cite it as such, articles (which there has been no progress so far), templates, and pictures as well. Now again if I'm understanding correctly, if he doesn’t do that by next Wednesday, then the site will be closed. Again please correct me if I'm wrong, and feel free to either respond here, or on my talk page here at Community Central. Lancer1289 17:52, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. He doesn't have to import anything he doesn't want to import. Also, let's please keep this via e-mail from here on out so it can all be in one place. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:25, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I'll send an email about this in a minute. Lancer1289 20:03, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * This will be my last message on your talk page about this. I did send an email about 10 minutes ago, but just a fair warning, I tend to respond to them quickly. Again apologies for not keep this in one place and I promise this will be my last message on the subject here. Lancer1289 20:25, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Freeware Catalog
Many years ago I started a wiki called Freeware Catalog.

The interest from those who wanted me to start it died down after some time and

it has been dormant for several years. I tried to transfer the responsibility for this wiki to those who were most interested many times but to no success. But now and then a new user finds it and writes

something on his talkpage and every time it happens I get an email about the change.

I want to get this wiki off my watchlist but cannot find any way to do that as my watchlist is empty.

Please try to disconnect me from this wiki so I don't get any more emails about it.

For many years after I ended my participation in this wiki I have been active in wikipedia and has started a opensourcing religious wiki with another usernamene, Roger491127, and I don't want these messages from a distant past to clutter my email inbox.

Roger Johansson roger4911@gmail.com

I have now gone into my preferences in this wiki and unchecked all emails about pages I was following, but I fear it will not be enough because I get emails about userpages I was not following.
 * Turn off email notifications in your preferences.--

If you can remove me from all positions in this wiki it might help.

Roger Johansson roger4911@gmail.com

As long as emails are not active, you will not receive emails. You can also change the email address of the account as well and set it to a nonexistent email.--

I thought about that too, just before I fell asleep. If Wikia doesn't accept a non-existent email account I have a spam-infested email account I never use. Thanks.

Roger J.


 * Wikia does accept non-existant email addresses.

Abusing multiple accounts and vandalisation
Hi this user has been vandalizing the Glee, Sonic New Network and Icarly wiki for the past 4 days. When we ban her she makes a new account. She vandalises templates and adds pornographic pictures to the wikis. Can you please check the users IP and do a range block on her? We really need help, she has made more than 10 accounts until now on the glee wiki. The main problem is she adds pornographic pictures to the wiki, and there are many young users there.


 * Meepsheep has been taken care of--
 * If there was a range to be blocked, we would have done it already. We've taken action in the accounts we've seen, and put in some extra filters, and are watching the situation carefully  Random <font color="Orange">Time  18:10, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * The problems is some users are complaining because of the pornographic images. They say they have nightmares and all.

Spammer problem on Wiksteria Lane
We have a constant spammer on this wiki - http://desperatehousewives.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity he's constantly commenting on pages saying things like "thanks, now it all makes sense" it's very annoying because he's clearly a troll and somehow it's a different IP address every time - so what I wanted to know is how we block unregistered users from editing because they're just gettingout of control. -- Julietfan2626


 * Hi. If it's just one person with multiple IPs, that's not really cause for blocking all unregistered contributors. The best thing to do is delete the spam when you s:ee it, block the IP if necessary, and then otherwise ignore it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:05, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's the thing.... we've been getting multiple people spamming quite recently. And we can't simply block this person, everytime he makes a comment it's with a different IP address; and it's quite clearly the same person - plus he's been posting links which I assume lead to viruses or something that will enable him to hack someone once they click it. All the admins on that wiki have decided together that we want unregistered people blocking - it'd be appreciated if you respected our wishes :) -- Julietfan2626


 * make a report on c:vstf:Report:Spam and one of us will look into the situation in more detail for you. -- 18:12, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Check User
A user known as Ao Oni has been disturbing me on Fan-Ball Wiki. Someone on the wiki uploaded a picture of the character, which is from a horror game, and the account was created shortly after. He then proceeded to ask me if I knew who he was and began posting some more images of him and his "friends" on a blog that I had. I have asked another user, who I suspected created the account, if it was him, but he denied it. I was wondering if you could determine if this is a genuine account or a sockpuppet of another user there. Thanks, LDXD=D- Paladin of Hatred 23:35, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. According to CheckUser, Ao Oni has used the same IP as DMSwordsmaster. However, because of the friend issue, this doesn't prove anything about it being a sockpuppet, because it's entirely possible that school IPs or shared computers could have been used. I hope that helps. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:52, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

This troll, Miss Toodles, has created tons of alternate accounts and spam articles. No matter how many times I try to ban her or her sockpuppets, they always come back. Can you block her IP range or something? Cobweb (Talk)

Dino Run Wiki Adoption
Hi, I was wondering if I could adopt the Dino Run Wiki .When I asked our present admin (Killerbreadbug72 ) if I could be an admin they left me this message,

"You can become an admin on this wiki by requesting to adopt it. I've been inactive on wiki's since they got rid of the monaco skin option. I'm technically boycotting them," Killer bread bug 72.

After reading this, I was wondering how to adopt the Dino Run Wiki. I'm an active user, have added about 37 out of the 109 images on the wiki, created over 3 categories, and made a total of 210 edits, closing in with the record of 252 edits. I am just found of this wiki, and was just wondering how to adopt this wiki. If is isn't possible for me to adopt the wiki, then can you help me find other ways of becoming an Admin.

 * Wikifactory is a tool given to Wikia employees that allows us to do things like close wikis, add/remove features, etc. You don't become a Wikifactory user as you would an administrator.

Asking for an adoption requests team member
Hello Brandon. I've edited a couple of adoption requests. Now somebody told me that I should not do this anymore because I'm not a member of the "adoption requests team". But I like doing it and so did I ask you if I can help out officially? I look forward to your reply. Tim (SVG)  18:06, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Right now we're not really in need of someone else to edit the adoption requests page, but thanks for the offer! As a German helper, though, you're welcome to handle requests on the German adoption requests page. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 02:34, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

I thought it would be good, because users will have shorter waiting times. I already edit the German adoption requests, but it's only one request every few days. I just saw that users have to wait a couple of days for process their requests. Thank you for your reply. Regards,  Tim (SVG)   06:16, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Demoting
Hello, Brandon. I would like to request a demoting of three bureaucrats on my wiki.

Smallvilleantonio He has gone semi-inactive, and has forfeited his rights. They were all removed except for bureaucrat.

Ultimate alien He has made a new account to use instead of this one recently. (I'm not sure why, actually.) All of this account's rights have been removed except bureaucrat.

The Test User This was an old test account used by a now-inactive-yet-coming-back admin, who is actually the founder. This account has been de-sysopped by another admin and awaits removal of its bureaucrat rights. The founder doesn't even use it anymore.

So, for all those users, I would like all their rights to be removed in case we admins missed a spot. Thank you in advance. There is no problem with these users; this is just a community decision.

 * I have yet to test this but it should work. If you use the see full site option, chat should be available.--


 * On my iPod touch, you need to log in. After logging in, and going to Special:Chat, when I'm typing, I have no way of entering my text ("Return" just skips a line, it doesn't enter the text).

Single spacing
Hi Brandon!

I honestly cannot figure out how to edit with just single spacing. Every time I try to write something I get double spacing and would love to turn that off but can't figure out how (eg trying to type in an address for a restaurant and I get double spacing or listing restaurants I get double spacing as well - I always make the restaurant name as a link because I will be adding an info page later)

Thanks so much!

Also could you please rename my other wiki http://www.animalrescuesandsheltersinternational.wikia.com to International Rescues, Sanctuaries and Shelters.

Again thanks and nice meeting you! :)

Farrell99999
Hi Brandon, I sent a message to you guys requesting a CheckUser for the Test Admin Wiki about a month ago and it came back a yes so I asked for a global block since that user created a whole lot of accounts and edited on a whole lot of wikis (by editing, I meant vandalising.) and that was approved also and then SpikeToronto said that Wikia gave him the okay to create the last account he created to start over as a good user and I would feel bad if that was the case and he was blocked so could you please look into that? Thanks,


 * He's User:Zompenguin now, as I recall, and I believe he still edits. See w:c:help:User talk:SpikeToronto.


 * Spike brought it up. But that was the user I requested a CheckUser on. I just want to make sure he didn't get permission from Wikia.

Help my Wiki!...again...
I don't really know where to go with this problem, but some Wikia contributors keep making this 'warriors' page that has nothing to do with the wiki, so i warned them,but they keep making the page again! But i can't ban them, because it's a new wikia contributor each time. Even worse, i saw an advertisement (you know how they advertise all the other wiki's?) for Warriors Wiki that said, 'warriors wiki, meet the warriors!' and had a picture of a gray cat looking up. Well, i clicked on it, expecting to go to Warriors wiki, but instead it takes me to Living on our own wiki, and to the page 'Warriors' which I keep delteing. Can you help me by changing the advertisement so it says 'living on our own wiki, we live on our own' or just delteing the advertisement?

(sorry for the long message, but i tend to write a lot.)Spottedstar42


 * You can protect the page after you delete it to prevent them from re-creating it. - Tjcool007 (Talk) 18:06, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, the reason people keep creating it is because all the traffic from the spotlight is bringing people to the empty page. I've turned it into a redirect to your main page, so that people are being pointed to the right place, but something seems to have gone wrong with the spotlights.

hey i have this problem but im not to sure if you can help but i didnt know who else to ask because no one else on the wiki cares. there is a B-crat at the camphalfblood roleplay wiki who has been cyber bullting me on the chat but no one will do anything about it because the other B-crats either dont want to become his enemy because of the way he acts or because they just dont have a problem with it. he continues to call me vermin, idiot,stupid and (this may sound stupid but...)since it is a roleplay wiki (we dont roleplay on the chat) he will always say things like "grabs sky by his throat and throws him against the wall" (they call me sky because it doesnt take as long as typing skyandbray) and since he is B-crat if i try to do anything about it like asking him to stop he will just yell at me and if i say "this is cyber bullying you know" he will just say he doesnt care. and the last time i tried to stand up to him i got kickbanned, and when i came back one of my friends on there said she was almost kickbanned for defending me.i probably wouldnt of come to wikia staff because if i ever get back on chat (i was permanatly kickbanned for stating my opinion on soccer. even though he has threatend me since i was joking around about how "the apocalypse is coming" i dont know why he could permanatly kickban me for stating my opinion) i will probably get yelled at for coming to you about the problems and he will probably just call me more names.i dont know what you can do but i just couldnt take it anymore. his username is TheGhostMan. and i just thought i should throw this in but we have the same birthday :)Skyandbray 22:46, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Admin request
Dear Brandon,

I posted my request to become an admin on the Diagon-Alley Wiki, but I realised I am not eligible. I have created many wikis, but I used to be the founder of the wiki on another account and I forgot my password, but sadly the address I used to create it was terminated,so I cannot recover it. So please can you give me B-crat and Admin rights,please? the link: http://diagon-alley.wikia.com/wiki/

P.S: My mum made me a new one. If you recover my password on Lilly Lovegood, send it here: [mailto:carrianne.toms@yahoo.co.uk carrianne.toms@yahoo.co.uk].

Kickban
There has been a kickban incident in the chat section of this wikia... Basically, I was kickbanned for nothing. I didn't vandalise, spam, advertise, swear, insult, abuse etc... I did nothing. But yet, I was kickbanned. So then I went on my brother's wikia account to get back in there, so now they're saying I am not allowed to be unkickbanned because I breached my ban... but the thing is, I shouldn't have had to obey the kickban in the first place because I did nothing. You can't randomly kickban somebody and then order them to obey, because they didn't do anything to deserve it... So thing is, I would like you to either sort out these admins on this wikia, or unkickban me yourself, because I.did.nothing. -- Julietfan2626
 * This is a local wiki administrative issue, I think the original discussion is quite clear --  Random Time  15:39, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and what have you done to sort this situation out? Nothing, that's what. And it's just ridiculous. -- Julietfan2626
 * The situation is already sorted, you were justly banned for disruption and then used an alternate account to evade the ban. You will therefore not be unbanned. The discussion is over.
 * But I didn't disrupt -.- So therefore I didn't need to obey your ridiculous ban. You need to sort yourself out mate. -- Julietfan2626
 * Unfortunately I defer to the local admins here on this. I wasn't on Chat at the time, we don't have chat logs, and the admins are responsible users who aren't going to ban you just for the sake of banning you.
