Seems to be a little problem with my connectivity... Marta Ägnös Helper @ Wikia (Talk, MUM, PM, fr.wikia, Pik, de.wikia) 20:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh. Did you get your js working properly? That pastey I gave you should work if you CTRL - F5'd -- 20:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it works. Thanks for your help :)


 * No problem, seems to be an issue with like breaks, let me see... -- 20:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Mass category changing :D
If you can help me out with that, you'd be my personal hero (although without disturbing shrines or creepy stalking, that's optional).

What I'm looking for is a way to:

a. Recategorize pages from one category to the other b. Mass add categories to pages

and, optionally:

c. Mass move to remove prefixes from pages

If you can help me with this... I'll be most grateful! Shaur M. S. Grizlin 13:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Of course, there are a couple factors involved.


 * Which categories do you need changing? (e.g. what to what) - Can you make a list somewhere?
 * Are categories in any sort of template or other kind of non-standard transclusion?
 * Which pages need categories added to them? What criterion are we looking at?
 * How large is this project? Is a bot flag for Charibot required to avoid flooding recentchanges? You can request that from staff if the community supports it.
 * Mass moves is a little different, but can be pulled off, and definitely requires a bot flag due to the action throttle. Can you give me details over what is involved?


 * Let me know. -- 17:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, a flagbot would be required. The following are examples - should I make a detailed list of changes?
 * 1. Move pages from namespaces like Generals: and RA2:/RA3: (ex: http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/RA3:Main_Page) to the main namespace without the prefix
 * 2. Recategorize those pages from RA2:Infantry to "Red Alert 2 Infantry" for example
 * 3. Recategorize pages in this category to Category:Characters]. Then Nod TWIII Arsenal to "Tiberium Wars Nod Arsenal", same goes for "GDI TWIII Arsenal" and all other Arsenal pages.
 * 4. Ability to add categories to pages by adding them to a list, inputting what category should be added and hitting enter (similiar to how the Export function works - provide a list of pages to be changed).
 * 5. Yes, it is quite big.
 * I'll be happy to provide further details. Shaur M. S. Grizlin 07:06, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * PS: Templates are not a problem, changing categories inside articles is. I foolishly wrote them in articles rather than use a template. And now, changing a few hundred pages manually... I tried that. :(


 * Okay, get community consensus for Charibot on the wiki and request the flag from staff. -- 07:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Current active users unanimously agree that we should have a bot with us. Does it make good coffee too? ;) Shaur M. S. Grizlin 18:32, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Support in CNC Wiki
Thanks for your help, Charitwo. Could you replace something like GWIII to GWWIII and anything with those? About the universe ending like (RA Universe), I think it is necessary only if there is something with same name but different in both universes.

I am not sure if this site vulnerable to Loop Redirect. Could you solve Double or Triple Redirects?

Red romanov 09:59, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

There are a lot of articles begins with Image or Images but mostly need to be categorized into Category:Images

Thank you!
Hi there, I wanted to thank you for pointing out the vandal on the Grandia Wiki, I really appreciate your vigilance! Keep doing what you do!

German FFXI-Wiki

 * I have problems with the spoiler3 template. This is a copy from the english template and I do not really know what I can do to make it work. Could you give me any advise for it? Thank you. --shaari 09:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Shaari. I've added the proper CSS and javascript needed to make collapsible tables work (the template calls for it), it should work now. I made a test page and it's working properly on Dynamis - Jeuno. Have fun :) -- 15:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for helping with that again :).
 * One more question, how do you get an advanced user profile like on the english ffxi wiki? Can only Wikia Staff implement it? --Shaari 17:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, staff have to enable that. Please use Special:Contact on the German wiki to request it from staff. However, the status of implementation I am unaware of at this time. -- 17:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: My RfA
I would just like to let you know that I did not submit this RfA and I was not aware that I had been nominated until today. The person who nominated me probably did that because he was annoyed that I closed his RfA on Wii Wiki as unsuccessful. GT5162 16:20, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for letting me know. -- 16:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I don't get the $3 thing. And about the monaco skin, there are a lot of good skins! And I'am confused, I don't know which one to choose. And, if I choose one, it doesn't appears in other's account. Why is that? Well, thanks --Matias arana 10 02:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Why was I blocked on the Pok%C3A9%mon Encyclopedia? I don't remember doing anything bad on there... like spamming... in fact, I only just found it on the Wikia Spotlight. From Dragonfree 9 7  20:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Bot for adding templates and categories to images
Legend. (c) Author when they are copyrighted.
 * Hello,
 * In a recent discussion in the Help Desk, I have seen that you have a bot (a Pywikipedia?).
 * I am not sure to be able to program one in my wiki (WikiSara) and I am wondering if you and your bot could help me manage our wide image collection (7500 pictures).
 * Until now, we put the legend and the attribution of each file but we didn't add categories and templates. As a result, it is not clear.
 * What I'm looking for is way to transform the current description onto a more precise and uniform framework. The idea consists in using existing information in the image description file in order to:
 * insert license templates (the licence will be included in the template).
 * insert and fill a specific template for image description.
 * At the moment, most images have the following description :
 * Images without copyright have only "legend" and their license is based on GFDL.
 * The result would be something like:

Licence

 * I hope you have now a good overview of the problem.
 * Our main contributors agree to use a bot(flag) although some are afraid by its potential power ;)
 * I would be very pleased if you could help our community!
 * --G.E. 14:33, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd be glad to help. As for your example, would the license be the same for most images? I also recommend inclusion of the license category in the template itself, for organizational purposes. -- 15:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help! :)
 * I agree that the license template will include the licence category.
 * Here are some precisions for the different licenses templates that the bot will have to include. I refer to the information after the "(c)" (sometimes it's "©") symbol in my former exemple:
 * is the general case (90%).
 * if "(c) Journal Officiel" or "(c) Préfecture" or "(c) DDE ..." or "(c) DIR ..." or "(c) CG ...".
 * if there is no "(c) ...".
 * For the template:
 * The "Description" argument should correspond to the text before the "(c)" or "©".
 * The "Date" argument would be the Upload date of the file.
 * The "Auteur" argument would be the contributor who uploaded the file.
 * The "Source" argument would be equal to the name after the "(c)" or "©".
 * The "Licence" argument would be "Copyright", "Administrations", "GFDL" depending on the template...
 * I take an example: . Instead of "Début de la D301 à Aix-Noulette (c) France Autoroutes", the description would be:

Licence

 * Please let me know if such changes are possible...
 * --G.E. 16:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not so sure the Fichier template will be easy to implement, seeing as how it appears as rather variable information. Simple template additions will be fine, though. -- 17:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The insertion of the "Fichier" template was a suggestion. If you can add the licence templates, it will be OK for me! ;) --G.E. 18:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * sure, you need to request a bot flag for Charibot from staff. You can link them to the community discussion. -- 18:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I ask the staff to do so. --G.E. 19:03, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Charibot is now "flagged" on WikiSara. ;) --G.E. 21:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * Before you launch the bot on WikiSara, here is a summary with additional precisions:
 * I have made a survey this morning and sometimes you have "(c)Author" instead of "(c) Author". I hope this will not affect the bot...
 * The revised list for the insertion of license templates is the following:
 * is the general case.
 * if "(c) Journal Officiel" or "(c) Préfecture" or "(c) Sécurité Routière" or "(c) DDE..." or "(c) DIR ..." or "(c) CG ...".
 * if there is no "(c) ...".
 * Following the former typology, you may add some additional categories according to the name of the author (name after the "(c)") or of the uploader:
 * for users "Lloyd_cf", "Lloyd cf", "jmlv", "Logales", "cartomi", "Brice44", "Sazan", "Nicolas2301", "de Priester", "Umannatur", "Polo", "R.Grodzki", "Raphaël Lemaire", "Gwen"
 * for user "Bornededepartement"
 * Woud it be also possible to scan all pages and make a "classic" maintenance (e.g. replace html symbols with wiki code)?
 * I hope it is possible and that it will not take a lot of your time...
 * Regards, --G.E. 08:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for your help! All our images have now a category.--G.E. 07:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Anytime :) -- 13:11, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Starter wiki images
The image,, on the starter wiki is uncategorized, and I saw that you were the last person to edit the starter wiki. Could you categorize it with the other images? 22:27, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Master Conjurer, please contact staff if you think such a change needs to be made, as this is a base wiki for all newly created wikis. -- 12:21, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

A quick (and sincere) thank you
Hello, I just wanted to quickly let you know how much I appreciate you fixing vandalism on a wiki I'm a part of. I've put hours of work into it, and I would've had to do it all again if you and a few others hadn't stepped in so quickly. Thanks, and keep up the good work! - MetroidNut 11:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Anytime. :) -- 16:27, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Edit
Please do not edit my page. Thank you. --AtNTM3 21:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey, AtNTM3. That content is not relevant to the scope of Central wikia. The information may be more appropriate at ANTM or a more specific topical wikia. Central Wikia is for the coordination of all of Wikia's wikis. -- 21:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Is it possible to keep it because it is my own User page? I don't think anyone goes on it anyway. It helps me organize a lot of things. It would be AWESOME if I could just keep it as is. --AtNTM3 21:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You can copy/paste the information over to the appropriate wiki and organize it there. Central userpages are primarily for letting other users know a little bit about you and what wikis you edit. -- 21:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I have an inquiry about the look of the charts...Why does it look so different than when I put the same exact code into Central Wiki? The chart I'm talking about is the one with the header "Call-out order". There are no boundaries, lines, the colours seem messed up, and the boxes seem smaller too ...

--AtNTM3 21:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * See MediaWiki:Common.css at the bottom of the page, take a note of this code:

/* Commonly used Wikipedia .wikitable and .prettytable */ table.wikitable, table.prettytable { margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; } .wikitable th, .wikitable td, .prettytable th, .prettytable td { border: 1px #aaa solid; padding: 0.2em; } .wikitable th, .prettytable th { background: #f2f2f2; text-align: center; } .wikitable caption, .prettytable caption { margin-left: inherit; margin-right: inherit; font-weight: bold; }

It will need to be placed in whichever wiki's site CSS that type of table is used in. -- 21:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm still a bit confused. Where would I be able to find my site CSS? I tried copy and pasting the code above under the Call Out order header, but it didn't work. I don't understand what to do. Can you help me please? :(

Hi, i have answer here to the complain user if you want to know my reasons thought i will not pursue in a conflict of whats good and whats evil maybe in the future if i stumble with the page again i will reevaluate it... --

Category add Dutch RuneScape Wiki
Hi,

I was wondering if you could use your bot to add the "Afbeeldingen" category to all our uncategorized images at the [nl.runescape.wikia.com Dutch RuneScape Wiki], I was also wondering if you could solve the problem (read my last post), here Tedjuh10 - Talk 14:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I can do that, if you can get community approval to flag my bot. As for automatically categorizing them, I am not sure. I'll have to get back to you on that one. -- 17:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Requests for Opinions & Participation
Hello, I am the administrator over at One Ring To Rule Them All. I can see from the logs that you had contributed to the Wiki. I am gathering votes for article merges and was wondering if you wanted to participate. See Forum:Articles to merged. I figured I would try to leave the message here then at your the One Ring To Rule Them All discussion page, because I don't know how often your actually there. Thank you for your time.--DarkLantern 03:22, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi DarkLantern, while I have edits at LOTR wiki, I am not currently involved with the community there. Thanks for the heads up, though. -- 03:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for what you did. Amy's on the lose again!


 * Anytime. btw, those signature templates don't work here and are generally not allowed in most places. -- 22:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I see...Thank you...

Can your bot help us at the fire emblem wiki?
w:c:fireemblem

There are loads of categories that need renaming and its going to be tedious for us to try and do it ourselves. If you can(or can't) can you reply on my talk page, I should probably warn you that quite a lot of categories need moving and all of them have quite a lot of pages in them...

Thanks either way -- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  21:26, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

OK thanks, i'll request the flag now and then work on that list.

here is a list of the categories that need changing. Another thing, is it possible for you to change every Fuuin no Tsurugi into Fūin no Tsurugi?

I'm just waiting for that bot to be flaged (sent a message through that contact form), i'll leave a message on your talk page when its been flagged. Thanks for helping us out, you've saved me like two weeks of editing.

Harvesting email address from our Solarcooking wiki
We have added article on over 300 NGOs and 400 individuals involved in solar cooking around the world. We have added email addresses for each of these by hand from various sources. What we need now is a way to go the pages in these categories and harvest the email addresses into a delimited textfile that we can load into a database so that we can send occasional informational updates about the wiki.

We would want each data record to be something like this:

NGOs|Solar Cookers International|USA|info@solarcookers.org

Is there an automated way to do this?

Thanks,

Tom Sponheim 19:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Solar Cookers International

bannig

 * I don't think a display of anger against another user will help you very much. If you don't agree with a decision, it is wiser to wait out the "ban", or make a polite protest explaining why the decision against you was incorrect. If you are reasonable, people will treat you reasonably. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 10:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Um, I got banned...?
I got banned by Jacce for changing Tayuya's page on the Narutopedia site. It said that she was the only one of the Sound Four to use sound as a weapon. I inserted the fact that she actually wasn't, Sakon had used it in Konoha (He used musical scales --Do Re Mi-- on Sasuke). And it said I got banned for inserting false information. So, uh, what's up with that?

repairing vandalism
thank you for repairing, but can you also block these ip numbers ? it is obvious the same person, vandal, but he changes everytime his/her ip number !
