User rights
Hello, could you remove the user rights off my old "Lombax Jerk" account on Blargipedia. This is my new account. HK22 06:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This is one of those "do it yourself" moments ;) You can remove two of the flags, and the bureaucrat one can just sit there - no harm if it's just an old account. -- sannse (talk) 15:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

How to remove redlinked templates from template?
Is there some way to remove redlinked templates from templates? Examples Template:Left Behind and Template:Roman provinces 120 AD. --Kathleen.wright5 08:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC) ,from Wikia:Christianity


 * Yes, it's a matter of finding where they are used in the template (or more often in a sub-template used in the template) and removing the link. Sometimes they are several templates down.  Frankly, this is why it's not a good idea to use complext templates from Wikipedia.  If you can't understand them (and I certainly can't!) then it's difficult to fix and adapt them :) -- sannse (talk) 15:31, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Spam filter trouble
Your spam filter is preventing me from putting Template:Left Behind Characters on article pages.
 * 1.The word - The, I removed all instances of the word from the template and then I got
 * 2.{{Na - I don't know where this is, the only thing with that is a character's name Naomi Tiberius in Wiki brackets.

Could you do something about it? --Kathleen.wright5 02:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC), from Wikia:Christianity.


 * Sorry about that Kathleen, we had some spam filter issues over the weekend. All should be OK again now -- sannse (talk) 12:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the help
Hi. I just wanted to thank you for your help about a problem I was having with the categorys on Gearspedia. You explained the solution perfectly, even though I had not explained the problem very well! I was trying to get the category to appear as link, you were quite right. Thanks again for your help, (your fellow Brit) --EightyOne (talk) 01:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Glad to help! -- sannse (talk) 12:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

FOTC Wikia
I just checked the Flight of the Conchords wikia, which you recently approved for adoption, and It's still not showing rights have been changed. Is this an error on the site and it hasn't taken effect yet? Just wondering since I tried to make edits to the Monaco skin and it didn't allow me to do so. Thanks, I'll also work up a nice design for my userpage as well. ;) --ChristianShephard 20:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, not sure what I did there... please try now (you may need to log in again to see the change). Sorry about that -- sannse (talk) 21:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Help
I need help,Links won't work,things don't work,please help!Go to Mythical Wikia.GEARS OF WAR 2
 * Hi, looks like you have having a problem with the new editor. New wikis use this rather than the traditional type, it allows you to use the toolbar in the same way as a traditional word processor (like Word) rather than wikimarkup.  If you prefer to turn this off, you can do that via your preferences (select the edit tab and "Disable Rich Text Editing").  Or try highlighting something, and clicking a button above the edit bar... it's a rather nice way to edit :) -- sannse (talk) 10:57, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

About a bot
Hello! I'm having a hard time with bots..! Basically I need to create one because I'm getting stuck on my wikia (too many template and changes). I saw that you have a bot, and I though maybe you can help me through the process. I know you are part of the community support team, and this is the reason why I think you are the best person! If you are busy or cannot help me, maybe you can let me talk with someone else.

I know it's a bit weird as a request, but I asked on IRC and they told me that was better if I talked to someone who actually owned a bot. I need to get started, from downloading the program and setting it up (I think you can just tell me some links and I can do it by myself) to making it work (I would probably need some tips from u and your OK for flagging it).

Thank you for your attention! -- EXE.  eseguibile 05:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've actually only installed AutoWikiBrowser today - although I tried a similar program some time ago. AWB is a "semi-bot", which makes a change then shows you it for approval.  The program is mostly designed for Wikipedia, and it's pretty complex from what I've seen so far, but it looks useful.  I've no knowledge about creating a full bot though I'm afraid.  If you want to look at AWB, the page on it is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser - sannse (talk) 22:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually this is the best choice. At least I will be able to approve the edits, so I shouldn't make many mistakes! Thank you for your help again! I'm currently working on it.DeadorAlive and, unfortunately, I'm the only user. By extension, in terms of request for flagging, I should be the community (since I'm the only user). Anyway you are welcome to check the wikia and let me know what you think. The bot to flag should be Exebot. Thanks! -- EXE.  eseguibile 02:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Bakugan wiki
Hi sannse, no one has still replied in the page. -- ko isuru ( talk ) 09:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I've made you admin there. Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 19:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser
Could you run another CheckUser, please? This time on User 666, who's suspected to be Darth Vukure (or someone from Greece and having nodes in 63 cities, if it's not an exact match). Thanks in advance. Drewton ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, he's been blocked by another administrator. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:51, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

How to add an admin
I'm new at "Wikia-ing" and I need to know how to add my friend as an admin please. Bogantilla 00:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)Bogantilla
 * Hi, have a look at the help page here. You probably also find the Help:Administrators' how-to guide useful too :) -- sannse (talk) 19:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi, Sannse. I was advised that you're now in charge of IRC related things? Can I please request a Wikia IRC cloak? Per the cloak help page instructions, I've done what's required on freenode and I've also signed my name here to confirm my request. As I stated on that page, my IRC name is the same as my Wikia user name &mdash; CarlGustav. Thanks for your time, CarlGustav  ( Boom! ) 03:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, that's done -- sannse (talk) 17:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hello Sannse, I'm here to request a checkuser on this account, believed to be the same owner of this account. (firstly please note the similarity in userpages). The user was originally blocked for attempting to manipulate his edit count for an RfA, he then repeatedly stated on his talk page that he would be creating a new account. After the new account was created he went to another user Cruser knew and posted this:

== no sub ==

Can I talk to you somewhere else? There is something urgent to tell you. Contact me at megastrikedragon@live.com. 00:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

The user then contacted a fellow admin who directed the user to myself and told him to foward Cruser's e-mail.

Admittedly, I'm rather tired so if any part of this message is choppy I apologise, (also after this issue is dealt with, I'd appreciate the information in this section being hidden to preserve the reproting user's identity.--Azaz129 04:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Azaz. I talked to Karlis about this on IRC this morning... it's clear that they are the same person (or at least, on the same computer within a very short time of each other).  It's clear enough to say that they are socks.  sorry for the slow reply here -- sannse (talk) 17:38, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Merger of two wikias
Hey there Sense,

I'm requesting a merger from General-Hospital Wikia into my Soap Opera Wiki. You can see that the bureaurcarat has asked that on my talk page over at Soaps. Thanks. HotDice Roller Derby Wiki • Soap Opera Wiki 18:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Bot
Hope you didn't forget about my bot! ^^ I replied but maybe you haven't seen my messages. -- EXE.  eseguibile 19:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops! I did! It's done now, and the account is also listed on the AWB checkpage.  Sorry about that -- sannse (talk) 16:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Necyklopedie
Hi, we have got a serious problem yesterday and today: we can´t see our Recent changes. --Karkos 12:53, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * you can't? It's working for me, I'm looking at http://necyklopedie.wikia.com/wiki/Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD:Recentchanges .  Can you give me more details?  What exactly do you see? Can you upload a screenshot?  What browser and OS are you using? Are you logged in or out?  The more you can tell me the better! Thanks -- sannse (talk) 16:30, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Got a minute?
Hey. This is Eternalseed from Runescape Wiki. Would you mind popping in here for a minute t'give your point of view? I'm sure we all would like a fresh look on this manner. Thanks. 18:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've called in there (although mostly to say "it's up to the community" :) -- sannse (talk) 11:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

De-bureaucrat
Could you remove the bureaucratsy of User:Lombax Jerk on Bandipedia? I de-sysoped him when I found out about this: http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Lombax_Jerk --YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 11:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, that's done for both his Usernames -- sannse (talk) 16:19, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Editing issues
Hey again, Sannse. One of my sysops is having an issue. She can't seem to log in to edit anything. I'm not sure if the problem is with her account or not... Anyway, her screen name is PrincessPunky. I'd appreciate if you could help us solve this weird problem. Thanks!

~Spike's Girl (from the TGWTG wiki)
 * Hi. The best thing is for her to use Special:Contact to email us with as many details as possible (browser and operating system, what error messages she sees, what user name she uses, the exact page she is trying to log in on...)
 * But first, she could try logging in here and/or clearing her cookies and cache.


 * To do this on IE:
 * Select 'tools' > 'Internet options' > 'General' tab > under 'Browsing history' click 'Delete...' > 'Delete cookies' and 'Delete files' > 'Close' > 'OK'.


 * For Firefox:
 * Select 'tools' > 'clear private data' > check 'cookies' and 'cache', uncheck others from the list > Click 'clear private data now'.


 * Then for either:
 * Hold 'Ctrl' and press 'F5'
 * Log back in to view the page if necessary.


 * I hope that helps -- sannse (talk) 16:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Remove button from toolbar?
Can you remove or de-activate the new 'add image' button on the editing toolbar for Terminator Wiki ? It doesn't give users options for image tags and copyright, which is what our Special:Upload does. &mdash; JeiaraTalk 20:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, the add image tool bar does give a dropdown for image tags now. I'm not sure when it was added, it's quite recent, but you should have the same functionality as for Special:Upload (and more) -- sannse (talk) 18:56, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see it... just Upload and Find in the pop-up, can you post a screenshot? Is there a MediaWiki:xxx file to edit the text? &mdash; JeiaraTalk 23:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I took movies of the latest shuttle launch that I expect to share on Picasa
You will need to wait until I get home to see them. However, then, feel free to share them around your office. Will (Talk - contribs) 21:17, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds cool Will :) -- sannse (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

New category feature - Category tag on articles when they already have them when not logged -in
When I'm not logged in at Wikia:Christianity every article has an add category tag, even though they already have categories. I've turned this feature off in my user preferences. This is only at Wikia:Christianity. Could you please do something about it. --Kathleen.wright5 22:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Kathleen. The idea is to make it easy to add more categories... often more works better than one per article.  I can turn it off for the wiki if that's what you and the community want, but why try it out a bit more and see if it works for you :) -- sannse (talk) 18:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

RuneScape Wiki - Personal privacy
Hello Sannse. I hate to bother you with yet another RS wikia community problem, but this is serious. I would appreciate if you would weigh in here. A few months ago, User:Earthere was supposedly emailed a direct link to an image from my personal, private myspace. He had no way to access it himself, and I have a feeling that Total Rune (I'm sure you remember him) sent him the image link. He then proceeded to post it to his userpage along with an insult. He was subsequently banned. Now, he feels he has served his time. I am absolutely appalled. There has been a community discussion opened to possibly remove his ban, but I fail to see in any way how this is a community decision, when this is complete trolling, and because it did not personally hurt any of the other wikia editors. He harassed me on one of the most personal and invasive levels. I know that Wikia is not Wikipedia, but one of their policies states unless unintentional and non-malicious... attempted outing is grounds for an immediate block. It is undeniable that his posting of the image was intentional and clearly malicious. At the time of the ban, all users supported the ban for the reasons I have stated. I cannot wrap my head around the idea of him being unbanned after such behaviour, and I implore that you comment on this discussion. Thank you. Christine 23:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Christine. This is very much a community decision.  And I see that the consensus seems to be going towards leaving him banned. -- sannse (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Request for de-adminship
Hello Sannse, this is Bluer. I would like to request the de-adminship of myself from Final Fantasy Wiki (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com). I have decided to withdraw from the project with no regrets whatsoever, effective immediately. I also would like to take this opportunity to inform you that I am now an active contributor to the Megami Tensei Wiki (http://megamitensei.wikia.com). Please, and thank you ^^  BLUER   一番   13:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Bluer, you could participate on both you know... :) Are you sure about this?  It's easy to leave your rights for a while, and see if you want to make the occasional change here and there?  Let me know... -- sannse (talk) 19:21, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, Sannse, I'm very sure of this decision. I do not wish to participate in the FFWiki any longer: reasons being no more interest in the subject matter, the wiki is already saturated with users who are more than able to handle the wiki without my presence, and I have no interest to mingle with the current "community" there. Thank you for your consideration.  BLUER   一番   04:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * OK Bluer, that's done. Good luck on the Megami Tensei wiki! -- sannse (talk) 12:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Confusing Problem
Hey there, I'm sorry that I might be disturbing you with a little problem of mine, but I just wanted to ask, I'm new here, and I'm not that good at editing pages and character bios and stuff, but I want to tell you that after I was editing Sara Shirabuki's bio(Vampire Knight character), there were scroll bar stuff, instead of being seen plainly, and I don't know what happened. Please help, I hope you read this soon. Thank you very much.
 * Hi, it's just that you put a space at the beginning of the line. Which forces that line into preformatted text.  I've fixed it for you -- sannse (talk) 19:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Admin problem
In halopedia, an administrator keeps deleting my work and then locks the page. he says that my work is not actual work but vandalism and does not belong on that page. however, i did my research and everything i wrote is 100% backed up. shouldn't i be allowed to post my bit and if other don't like them they can remove them. I wouldn't have continued to repost them if the 1 admin would have contacted me and told me how i was wrong. is their anything i can do to get around his block on the page? Psycho60 13:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This is something you need to discuss with the local admins... or better still, keep discussing on the talk page and come to an agreement between you. Trying to get around a page protection is just going to increase the conflict, it's better to try and reduce it with discussion and negotiation.  Perhaps one of the other admins can help you with this - sannse (talk) 20:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Signature Bot
Would it be possible to run a bot on the Wii Wiki that automatically signs comments on talk pages as many users on this wiki don't bother to type 4 tildes? GT5162 16:11, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess you could.. although I'm not sure how the bot would always recognise what needs to be signed and what doesn't...
 * I'd suggest you experiment first. There is a wiki at http://communitytest.wikia.com that's a general test space for anyone to use, if that helps... -- sannse (talk) 12:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of something that adds the template to all unsigned comments on talk pages, like on Adoption_requests. GT5162 15:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand the idea, but I'm not sure if a bot would easily be able to recognise where to put the signature (for example if several people had left comments with a variable number of lines). But you could always give it a go on the test space and see what you can do :) -- sannse (talk) 12:10, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

questions
I appreciate your thanks, and yes, I do need some help of loading images, but, better enough how to Adopt the Guilty Gear Wikia, I want it to have its URL changes to Guiltygear.wikia.com instead of being redirected, any advise you can give me here?

I give you thanks in advance for your time, If you excuse me, farewell.
 * Hi, to adopt a wiki, have a look at Adoption requests. If you have adopted the wiki, then you can use Special:Contact to ask for changes to the URL.  And for image uploads, try Help:Uploading files :) -- sannse (talk) 12:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Help with homophobic user
Hello on the runescape wikia there is an abusive and homphobic user. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/User:Clv309 could you please ban her from these 2 sites

http://irc.wikia.com/runescape

http://java.freenode.net//index.php?channel=wikia-runescape

Everytime i go to talk she makes homphobic comments and has threated to ban me because of my sexuality. Please ban her from the chtrooms and even the wrunescape wiki if you can. -


 * Well first off Sannse, the above user has been a troll both on the RuneScape Wiki, our forums, and our IRC chat. He has been banned from the IRC, and is on his way to being banned on the Wiki and Forums. Christine has provided logs to prove so.


 * Secondly, could we please get User:Wikia flagged as a bot on the RuneScape Wiki? Thanks!


 * 17:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

excess comments removed - sannse


 * Balmz: This is a matter for the Runescape admins and IRC ops, and it's clear that they are in agreement.  Please move on.
 * Karlis: User:Wikia can't currently be flagged (well, it can, but it doesn't make any difference) because of the way the script works. This should be fixed soon -- sannse (talk) 12:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Monaco Skins and Notes
Hi, I wanted to know were are the Admin Options to create my skin and when a new user comes to my wiki send automaticly this message: Thanks --Matias arana 10 00:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Matias, if you goto your preferences on your wiki, under Skin you'll see an admin options at the bottom, and you can open the dropdown and choose the skin you want.


 * As for the welcome, that's part of a set of features Wikia rolled out last week, you can leave feedback for it here. You can customize it like that perfectly, you can read more about at User:Wikia. If you need any help with customizing it to look like that messages just let me know and I'll be glad to help :) -- 00:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Please add a note saying that you took it from FringeWiki on your wiki, as that is a direct copy (with image change). &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]] 00:43, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

IRC
How do I obtain a Wikia IRC Channel for my wiki? << UDK >>-<< Talk >>-<< Contribs >>-<< YCM >>


 * You will need an IRC client to create the channel, and use Special:Contact to request it be added to the IRC gateway access list so gateway users can join it. To keep within the Wikia namespace (and so Wikia owns the channel and can help in any situation that arises), it should be named something like


 * If you need any help with this, I will be available on IRC tonight. -- 13:10, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thnx. UDK

Stalked your to-do list
I got bored and wandered onto wikia from enwiki. I stumbled upon your to-do list and saw the thing about. After seeing the instructions for the template's use, it looks like it's antiquated to what mediawiki (at least svn, probably a major release by now) has supported for a while: create-protected pages. Moreover, templates won't get rendered in the edit summary, but will get rendered in as they're displayed to the user (like block reasons), hence the reason I created pp-create on enwikipedia a while back.

.... annnyway, I assume that that entry might have been something along the lines of a migration of the various wikia "salted" pages over to the new system, which would include changes to the methodology of the deletedpage template and/or instructions to admins on the template's documentation page and/or changes to the protect-a-page dropdown reasons. The other possibility is you might have had had something in mind for using it in relation to the Titleblacklist extension, but it doesn't look like it's enabled on this wiki. *shrug*. Anyway, hope that might help; at least maybe something productive will be borne out of boredom. :P

Cheers =) --Slakr 12:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'd forgotten all about that to-do list :P I guess by now it's either done or waaay out of date.  I don't recall what I wanted to do with deleted page now... ah well, it will come up again if it's important ;)  -- sannse (talk) 13:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Polls
Hey, I want to put a poll on my wiki of American Idol Wiki but I don't know how to do it. Here's a page with a poll: http://inheritance.wikia.com/wiki/Inheriwiki:Poll If you can help me I would thank you so much!--Matias arana 10 01:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, the best way to find out is usually to hit "edit" and look at the code :) In this case, all you need to do is start with, put your question on the next line, and then each possible answer on the following lines.  End with .  If you are on a wiki with the new editor, you will need to switch to wikitext mode.

DPL
Can we get the DPL extension turned on for the GURPS wiki? --Roguebfl(talk) 05:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, first of all, please could you read w:c:help:DPL so that you understand the downsides and limitations to this? It's a feature that we sometimes have problems with, and sometimes have to turn off because of that.  If you are sure you understand this, and still want to use it, then let me know :) -- sannse (talk) 08:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of them, but I'll ask the community first. It is only "what's new" --Roguebfl(talk) 00:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Debouted request
Hello.

I'm the person which opened Forum:Request for de adminship on desencyclopedie, and you've seen we're unable to finsih to a consensus. But I've started the topic because of our unaibality to get to a consensus, so the objectives were to show the differents point of view to wikia staff in expactation they take a decision. I think there are sufficient elements to take it, and I don't wan't to pursue this debate for years. So I will just ask you to express a clear refutal of the request or to accept it. thanks and apologies for the invasion. El kloklo 00:16, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but this has to be a community decision. In most communities, it's up to the admins/bureaucrats to decide based on community discussion.  There are very few situations where Wikia staff will step in and remove an admin or bureaucrat (for example, we would if we saw an admin blocking everyone on the wiki and deleting all pages).  There are two active bureaucrats who can act for the community... and if they decide not to act, then that is your answer I'm afraid.  -- sannse (talk) 08:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, so if I understand well, if the community's majority could express a decision(this kind or another), they are unable to applicate it, without the support of any bureaucrat? El kloklo 11:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If there were a very clear consensus, and the bureaucrats were ignoring it without explanation, then we would be likely to look at the situation. But that sort of consensus is not what I saw on the talk page.  It seems there are views on both sides. -- sannse (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I know that we clearly didn't reach a consensus on the talkpages, but I'm interested in knowing how does it work in wikia, and this is not in the objective to achieve my ends, because this debate come to an end for me. But well there are many wikis in need of contributors :) El kloklo 15:55, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * We try to look at each situation carefully, and take into account factors like the activity of a wiki and the specific problem. We are more likely to get involved in a wiki that doesn't really have a community, but our general principle is to always try to leave community decisions to the community in question.  The community team's role is to try and support the community, not to rule it :)  -- sannse (talk) 18:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Sannse, I'm beginning to learn how to work Python and pyWikipedia bots to get some ideas for my wiki (The Third Turn) running more smoothly. However, as a rather amateur Python prgrammer, I've hit a huge block - the login script. Everytime I run the login.py script, I get syntax error after syntax error. I don't really see anyone else talking about issues with it, so I must assume I'm either an idiot or I somehow missed the fact that I do need to work some parameters.

Thus, perhaps, you'd be willing to show me what your functioning script of login.py is. If you can download the nightly version and get it to work, perhaps it is my user-config.py and family file? I think I followed those to the book though.

I hope you'll be willing to help me just a little bit. I'm an excellent programmer in Java and CSS, but this Python script is throwing me for a bit of the loop at the moment.

 * I'm sorry, I don't know anything about Python or setting up bots. I would say your best sources of information will be the IRC channel at irc://irc.freenode.net/pywikipediabot or the mailing list at http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/Pywikipedia-l .  You could also try talking to other users in the Wikia IRC channel, some there use bots I believe.  Sorry not to be more help! -- sannse (talk) 09:13, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Patoll edit request
Hi Sannse, I want to request patrol edits for wakfu.wikia.com, guildopedia.wikia.com and es.wikia.com/dofus For the spanish dofu i already requested at Zuirdj talk page but i have not receive an answer in more 7 days, if its needed i can do the requests on the contact wikia, just need to know if 1 per wiki at each wiki contact page or with a single one with the 3 wikis will suffice?

Also do you know if there is a wiki where i can test the semantic freely? since i see that communitytest.wikia.com does not have it enable --
