bureaucrat flag
Hi, could you please drop my 'bureaucrat' flag on ru.dragonsbloodyworld wiki (preserving sysop flag)? Thank you. Wassily Steik 07:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, what's the problem? Something wrong there? -- sannse (talk) 12:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There're no problems :) Just because of my inactivity. The project has another bureaucrat which is more active than me... :) Wassily Steik 15:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Then I would suggest just leaving it :) then it's there is you ever need it, but there is no obligation to use it -- sannse (talk) 09:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Guild Wiki movement to wikia softwere
Hey, Guild Wiki has recently been moved to Wikia softwere, one of the things that has changed, is that we now have adverts on the right hand sidebar, instead of at the bottom of the page.

This change, has caused many problems, pages that are designed from the start for a fullscreen width, have stopped displaying correctly, it will require a change of policy (as our signature policy relys on lines of text for screen resolution) and has made many editors angry.

We do not wish to switch to another skin, and the IRC #wikia chat room reccomended that I asked you if it would be possible to change the adverts to the bottom, this would prevent dispute. Thank you for your time either way, if possible, could you contact me at Guild Wiki with any queries you may have. RT | Talk  08:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi RT. I'm just back from being away to have a minor operation, and am trying to catch up.  I'll talk to people who know more about what's been going on over the last week as soon as they are awake (San Francisco time) and hopefully get a better grasp of the situation.  Sorry about the delay! -- sannse (talk) 10:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I've replied on your GW talk page -- 90.206.92.213 07:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Aion Sysop
Hey there Sannse,

Wondering if I can be set as a Sysop on Aion wiki? Just that way I can play with the css somewhat and make it look more appealing. :) Daworm 01:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Daworm, I'll get back to you by the end of the day on this one :) -- sannse (talk) 07:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it's the end of the day somewhere :-/
 * You are now admin and bureaucrat there, have fun! -- sannse (talk) 10:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikia Helper
Hi Sannse, I have a question. I asked Angela about the requirements for becoming a Wikia Helper, and she told me that you could tell me more about becoming one. Best regards, Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 19:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. "Helpers" are people who are either doing some contract work for Wikia, or are on official internships with the company. Basically, the way to get that position is to be seen and invited by one of the staff looking for an intern or contractor... although you are welcome to send an application to Wikia for staff to consider.  But usually it just means doing great work on wikis and talking to staff and other users a lot.  It's similar for "Janitors", who are volunteers who work on spam control and other cross-Wikia tasks.  They are chosen from active users with good reputations.  That's a more casual position and I keep a mental list of people who might be suitable and interested.  I'm not planning on adding new janitors just yet, but in a couple of months I will probably be looking around and talking to other staff about who to add.


 * Hope that answers the question :) -- sannse (talk) 12:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, it does :)

Also though, I was wondering if you could make me a Sysop on the Guitar Hero Wiki. They two Sysops there are away for some reason, and there's a lot I could add, both content- and aesthetics-wise. As of now, I don't have many edits there, but I do have Sysop experience at the Warriors Wiki. I'm not sure if I need a certain amount of edits there, and if I do, I'll start ASAP :) Thanks for all your help! Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 21:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * In that case, it looks like there are active editors on the wiki. So they should have a say on who becomes admin there.  I suggest you try to talk to the community and work out what everyone thinks is best.  Then let me know, and I'll click any needed buttons -- sannse (talk) 10:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

cookies2
how do you enable cookies? reply as soon as possible.


 * Hi, it depends on your browser. If you are using IE, then you need: Tools > Internet options > Privacy > Change the slider to change your cookie settings.  You may also need to look at the Security tab, or add Wikia to your list of trusted sites -- sannse (talk) 16:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
Hi ,

I was wondering if you could please make me a bureaucrat on The Lemony Snicket Wiki. My user name is Asoue1286.

Thanks,


 * Hi, I've passed your request to Danny, he'll help. By the way, "Hi " looks a rather... strange... way of greeting someone :) -- sannse (talk) 17:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Bot Flag
Hello. Could you flag User:AnimeBot on The YuYu Hakusho Wiki? . Thanks. DragonBallZ 17:02, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you have community agreement for this? Please also check out the page about bots on Help.wikia.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:34, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I am the only active user there since I founded it only recently. The flag would be for the wiki to be synced with Wikia ACG, but don't worry about flagging it now though because I am working on another wiki becoming part of Wikia ACG. Thanks anyway though :) DragonBallZ 21:47, 14 April 2008 (EDT)


 * OK, let me know when -- sannse (talk) 16:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Log-in
I cannot log into the new wowwiki site. I keep getting redirect to a "special page" that is blank except for a head saying sign in/creat account. Paly 1 67.167.88.183 04:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Are you still seeing this? What about if you go directly to http://www.wowwiki.com/Special:Userlogin ?  Do you see it here on Wikia Central too?  Please can you let me know your browser and operating system if so? and I'll check it out.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

We Need More Admins on the secondlife wiki
The situation is this, there is no commumity, because the wikis were merged and dormant. Recently the only active bureaucrat has become involved in an edit war and locked pages with cascade. The new users who have been trying to revive the wiki have stopped editing because of this abuse of power. We need more admins and at least one new bureaucrat. The wiki is blocked until this happens, we can't import material from other wikis, continue the off wiki programming that second life users need to access wikia, nor can we even change the parts of the front page that were locked with cascade.

 * I'm not sure which bureaucrat you are talking about here. I see Eggy is active, and that he reverted a change to the main page, protected it, and tried to contact the person he reverted... all normal admin tasks.  We recommend not protecting the main page, but in the end it's the admin and the community's decision.  I would suggest you talk to Eggy about it.  Talking to them about new admins is also a good idea, this isn't something you need me for when you have an active bureaucrat :) -- sannse (talk) 21:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
Hi, Sansse! I have won a bureaucracy voting in Jedipedia (finnish Star Wars wiki), so I am asking to get these bureaucrat rights. I am not sure, but I believe I should get them here. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact &mdash; contributions) 10:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * PS: Oh, sorry! My signature was in finnish.
 * Sigs in any language are welcome :) You have a couple of active bureaucrats on the wiki, so they can change the setting for you.  Just ask Jack or Ufsark :) -- sannse (talk) 08:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Who's Online
Greetings Sannse,

When is the Who's Online special page going to be back online for Fiction wikia? I'm looking forward to using it.

Cheers,

Interwiki links
Hey Sannse, how ya doing? Good I hope. Will you insert (or have inserted) the following shortcuts to the interwiki table for http://stexpanded.wikia.com/? Thanks much. (I've added these on my own wikis, so I know they work.) 24 http://24.wikia.com/wiki/$1 arc http://starcadia.sasoriza.us/wiki/$1  (if unavailable, then ap) b5 http://babylon5.wikia.com/wiki/$1 bsg http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1 dc http://en.dcdatabaseproject.com/$1 fg http://flashgordon.wikia.com/wiki/$1 help http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:$1 hp http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/$1 ma http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/$1 marvel http://en.marveldatabase.com/$1 mb http://startrek.wikia.com/wiki/$1 sw http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/$1 who http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/$1 wp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1 Thanks again! --User:Sasoriza 15:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. "sw" is a language code, so is already assigned to Swahili.  "help" is also no good, because of the help namespace.  We have "marveldatabase" set up already, and also "battlestarwiki", "memoryalpha" an "wikipedia".  I know these are longer than your shortcuts, but they are also more obvious.


 * We also already have interwikis set up for all wikia wikis, you just need to type w:c:name: . I'm looking into getting that simplified to wikia:name:, but need to check how many old links would be affected (Wikia: is already used to link to Central).


 * So it looks to me as though the only one that needs to be added is starcadia.sasoriza.us - I'd suggest that "starcadia" would fit better with our linking plan for that. -- sannse (talk) 18:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * just need to type w:c:name:  - Right, but a lot of people don't know that; even I have a hard time remembering the syntax on occasion, and have to check the wikia page for refresher. (Dunno why; something about that syntax throws me. Can never remember which comes first, the c or the w.) The other, extra, shorter shortcuts are exactly why we call them shortcuts - "ma": much easier to type (and remember) than "memoryalpha". Same for "mb" (that one we could really use) and the rest. These are shortcuts we use often or are likely to use often; it would be a lot easier on us, hence the request. I understand if this is a problem, if the same interwiki table is used for several wikia; I just thought each had their own, so that these wouldn't affect others. If that's the case and you want to implement only "starcadia" (I'd suggest "arcapedia" but what the hey), then, okay. I like the suggested wikia:name: ; that would make it easier too. --Sasoriza 10:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

wiki kaneva

I have already made many contrubutions to it and plan to make more and more. I am also apart of kaneva so i can keep events updated. If you would also respond to me on wiki kaneva.

Dear Sannse

We are students at the college of higher education in Chur. For one of our courses we are testing and analysing Wikia Search. For this reason we woud like to ask you a few questions to get relevant information of how Wikia Search functioning and how the users interact with Wikia:

•	How many active, registered users does Wikia have? Are there any graphics available which show the growth of the last few months? •	What's the difference between the User-list and the Profile; how do you get on the user list? •	Are you happy with the number of registered users yet? •	Are there any statistics on Mini Articles: how many are already written? •	Are you happy about what users contribute to Wikia Search? Give they good input (Mini Aricles) and helpful comments? •	What's the percentage of acitive Wikipedia-users? •	What do you think of the idea to link Wikipedia-pages to Wikia Search results? (e.g. you look for "Switzerland" and the user could see a link to Wikipedia where Switzerland is mentioned).

Thanks a lot for you help and best regards, Stefan & Thomas
