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)

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)
