I Have A Problem Here
Hello, Uberfuzzy, I am an administrator on Jokes Wiki, and I am having a small technical problem on the main page. Where it says "Welcome to JokelapediaAll Your Humor", it is a little off center. I want those few few words along with the number of articles and the wiki's age (already there) moved up and centered more. I have been trying to fix this but could not. : ) Thank you in advance!!

Global Block
Hello Uberfuzzy, is it possible to have this user ANATOLEY LANB3RY, along with his IP block from every wikis, I caught him vandalize a user profile here, and also he has been harassing other users, my evidence is right here:

In the Mafia Wiki: Here

In the L.A. Noire Wiki: Here and Here and lastly Here

There are other wikis he trolled in, I spoke with one of the B'crat on these wikis and he agrees that a global block is needed. ( (  (  (  4th Hale   )  )  )  )  ~  Talk   02:05, May 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Best to report this to VSTF. As far as I know, users can't request a global block for another user, but if they can, staff would probably prefer it done through Special:Contact. It's also worth noting that global blocks are seldom handed out.
 * Taken care of.--Uberfuzzy 07:26, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Greetings from the Viewtiful Joe Wiki
We at the Viewtiful joe Wiki have decided to change our name to "Viewtiful Joe World Cinema", but we can't seem to fully change the name. For example, whenever I get a message on the Sonic Wiki, it says I have new messages on Sonic News Network, but when I get a message on the Viewtiful Joe Wiki, it just says I have a message on Viewtiful Joe Wiki.

Can you help us out?

Thank you.

[veggietales wiki admin demand
hi uberfuzzy,

I want to be an admin on veggietales wiki.because the admin there isn't letting me edit (because of the charecter name larryboy started my second block) please warn him about my admin powers and give me more admin powers (I have some on a tuff puppy wiki). —This unsigned comment is by New nick dan (talk • contribs).

Badges
Hello, I wanted to ask if every wiki has badges because some of the older wikis don't have them. Is it possible to get them also on the older wiki pages ? DSM144 11:07, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes,use ,hope that helped:)

Jquery UI updates
I have been looking at change logs on the jquery ui site. And i noticed that the buttonset function is broken in our current version. or just all buttons not sure. But it says it fixed them in.. Other words i really dont know if they are all completely fixed but the function buttonset and the function button dont work on the runescape wikia for some reason. It did at one point now all of a sudden its not. The buttonset never worked though. We have 1.8.10 of the UI. i have been testing with 1.8.9 and it works not sure how to test the latest. but i believe the latest will have it fixed. i am not asking for a downgrade. 1.8.11 Changlog 1.8.12 changelog 1.8.13 changelog 1.8.13 is the latest UI download

Liverpool F.C. wiki
I recently Adopted the Liverpool fc wiki. Since adopting it we have greatly expanded it and modernized it. Here is the problem. About a week in I discover a newly created wiki who has blatantly copy pasted our main page (poorly I may add). I did not know if this was a violation but I feel the site we worked hard on is violated. We have messaged him and asked him if he would like to join our wiki, or if not take down the copy pasted material from ours. I noticed as well some pages are in French so perhaps he is making a French Liverpool F.C. wiki. Whatever the case may be I would like to know the protocol on this. I am not asking for him to take it down or anything. He has the right to make a wiki just like everyone on this site. The problem is the copy pasting. Thank you for your time.

Hi Uberfuzzy,

how are you?

I'm a newbie around here, so excuse me if the question is stupid... but I received an email from Wikia, it said that you deleted 3 pages with 3 images I had uploaded. I can't understand, because I'm still seeing the images on my personal page! I'm sure you did this for some reason, as you are an admin here, so please explain me why. If I did any errors I'll be pleased to correct them, as I said before, I'm a newbie.

Thank you!

Ahem... excuse me I didn't sign my question (the one right before this one)

Layout
Hello, I sent a message asking for help to find out how I could customize my wiki. Nobody has answered it, so I'd like to ask you about it. That was the original message between me and Angela afterwards:

"I really don't like the new layout (not practical and does not suiting my topic) and as the others (Monaco and others) were deleted I would like to create new one. The layout editor was also disabled in my special pages/tools section. So how can I do that? Is there a program that allows me to change things? I sent an e-mail using your contact form, but nobody answered. Regards,Carlos71 08:31, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

For example I really like this.Carlos71 08:36, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Did you get the reply from uberfuzzy? It said

'You can open the "Saját eszközök" menu, then use the "Tématervező" to customize your wiki.'.

Your other email should be replied to soon. Angela @Wikia 11:09, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I do not know where he replied, but thanks for your help.Carlos71 17:27, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I don't have this option. It's either missing or I simply don't find it.Carlos71 17:40, June 7, 2011 (UTC)"

I kept trying to find it, but I think this option is simply missing from my wiki (www.hu.carlos71.wikia.com).Carlos71 07:53, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do remember that email. It was answered under 24 hours from when you sent it. We reply back to the email address that was used to send us the message. If you used the contact form on the site, it uses the email in your preferences.
 * You have your account set to 'monobook', which is why you arent seeing the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, or the link to the theme editor.
 * http://hu.carlos71.wikia.com/wiki/Speci%C3%A1lis:ThemeDesigner?useskin=wikia should let you play with it.
 * I dont know why you arent getting the reply emails. Are you getting any other emails from us at all? When you used the form, did you get the automatic reply message of "Thanks for contacting us. We've received your support request and somebody will review it shortly." ? That is sent out within a minute of our system getting your message. If you didnt get that, you likely arent getting any of our emails for some reason. Please check your spam folders for your replies from both me and later Merrystar. --Uberfuzzy 22:15, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

I found both the message and the tool. Unfortunately the settings only work for the new wikia look. It's not the best, as some templates don't work properly, also it's irrelevant who uploaded the pictures, pictures slide (some of them are missing due to the narrowness of the area) and it looks messy/bad. Also the article area is too narrow even for the text. It's a shame that the old Monaco and the other layouts were deleted and we have to have this "hospital white" mono wiki look. I have to live with that (as it's still the best solution), unless I find somebody, who can teach me how to edit my own layout. I wanted to contact the bioshock wiki, but the old guys are inactive. Is there any site/section where I can find info about the customization? Thanks for everything. Regards,Carlos71 21:26, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

All I want is to add some soccer picture background. Nothing else, as I like the wiki menus.Carlos71 21:31, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you found the emails. Good to know our replies did get sent.
 * I dont know what "hospital white" you are talking about, the new skin has a dozen premade color themes to get you started, and is easily changed to with our ThemeDesigner tool, plus tweakable with manual CSS for more advanced things. Even monobook doesnt have to stay "white" like that.
 * Monobook is a bit harder to style, but you can do so by adding CSS to http://hu.carlos71.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css
 * You can do the same for the newer wikia style too, by first doing what you can with the Special:ThemeDesigner tool, then adding tweaks to http://hu.carlos71.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css, thats how the BioShock wiki was made.
 * I'm not going to get into the reasons Monaco/etc was removed, there was 6+ months of feedback on the staff blogs about it. Its all been said already, a few times over. Its not coming back, nor can we make monobook the default for the wiki, and we're not adding other skins to the site right now. We can disable the image attribution if you would like, just send us a contact message from your wiki, and someone will take care of it. --Uberfuzzy 00:33, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

1.)"Hospital white" was the background of the monolook (and not the new layout). 2.)I'm not going to get into the reasons Monaco/etc was removed... I didn't moan. I just briefly told you, what I thought. I just hope that the monolook won't be removed. 3.)You're a star. With the info you gave me I found the bioshock wikia's CSS and managed to modify it to my needs. 4.)Thanks for everything.Carlos71 16:46, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Ban
Hi Uberfuzzy. I just wanted to tell you something. User under 13 are not allowed in Wikia right? And if they create an account and openly reveal, they should be banned right? And so, I have a deleted blog post about the ages of active Users on Dragon Ball Fanon Wiki. And this is the deleted blog post. Just read it or undelete and read it, as well as block the under 13s as they have violated the Wikia Terms of Use and the Code of Conduct. Consider me as a user who helps Wikia out and so, I am not revealing my identity.

~ The User Who Helps Wikia
 * Unfortunately, Jedi Master Yoda, this is a rule that Wikia cannot/will not do anything about. Age is all heresay and can't be proven without legal documents. Just because someone says they are 11 doesn't mean it's true (doesn't mean it's not either). Bottom line, deal with their immaturity the best you can and report them for legitimate, banable offenses. Rappy 16:50, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have sent a report to Special:Contact. And for your info, an admin on PKMN Wiki banned my bro just because he lied he was 12.
 * They won't answer the special:contact, most likely, and the ban of your brother is irrelevant, admins can do what they want in way of banning users on specific wikis.

Personal JS/CSS files
Hi Uberfuzzy! I disabled my global.js file last night in case you were going to do any more testing. But, I kind of miss some of its features. So, I’ve reactivated it. BUT, if you are going to be running that diagnostic tool again, please feel free to de-activate it. You can find anything I have in my userspace at Community Central at User:SpikeToronto/list and over at ATW at w:c:admintools:User:SpikeToronto/list.

Thanks re:  __NEWSECTIONLINK__ 
Thanks for your response to my  __NEWSECTIONLINK__  query! I had been hoping to make it easier for the other fellow, who only uses Oasis, to create new sections. Oh well … By the way, you mentioned that one day soon the Edit profile button would actually lead to a profile editor. What will that mean for users’ personal ".js" and ".css" files that are currently housed in the user namespace? Will the new profile editor still permit creation and editing of such files in the proper formats?

Tea Wiki
I am intermittently developing articles/stubs for it rather than intending to be the person in charge of it. The addition to Green tea seems to be in part a blatant advertising puff - can you decide. Jackiespeel 21:08, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but I dont understand what your asking. --Uberfuzzy 00:39, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe Jackie was referring to this edit. If so, I think if the URL were removed, it would be less advertising-like. The remainder of the edit should be sourced (i.e., a reference/citation provided). — Spike  Toronto  01:41, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Tea wiki requires much development/more contributors - I was trying to 'not bite the newbies'/someone who was trying to develop a presently minimalist article with a non-wiki-style text that included an external link. Sometimes asking for a second opinion is appropriate (and seeing how the other contributor behaves thereafter). Jackiespeel 08:58, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Sorry to bother but could you also make the text on this wikis in the center. On the main page there is Welcome, Featured Article, Most Recent Manga Chapter, etc. I want to put them in the center but some of them just don't work and the text doesn't want to be on the center. Please could you fix them? Just on the main pages.


 * this wiki main page 1


 * main page 2


 * main page 3

It's the text that has silver or red color behind it (Only that text).

and on the third wiki mentioned could you also put the text that has

New Look and css complete mess
Hi there Uberfuzzy. I'm the admin over at w:c:supcom and w:c:supcom2. The wikis were abandoned about over a year ago, and, coming back, I found that between browser changes, the new look, and css, the layout is completely ruined/deactivated, and the js broken.

There aren't many users left, but I don't want to leave the wiki in shambles, and I'm not sure how to fix it, apart from copy pasting things from one common.css to wikia.css (ditto with .js), which kind of fixes the problem... However, I'm still getting strange behaviors, like only logged in users getting css effects...

Finally, we had set up "collapsible" boxes, as well as "tabbed boxes" (see w:c:supcom:file:supcom.png). Both of these features appear to be "glitchy at best", depending on the current browser, or if the user is logged in.

Do you think you could help us out? Or if you know someone else who could come to the rescue? I know the wiki looks bad, but when I left it, it was very clean, and nobody vandalized it. w:c:supcom:user:happypal 06:41, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * The forums on this wiki would likely be your best bet for coding help. Depending on how detailed your css was, only a fe things really needed to be changed when you copy it. DONT copy common.js to wikia.js. Common.js IS still loaded by the new skin, and you will cause more breakage by trying to run 2 copies of everything. Its very possible that your collapseable functionality can be replaced with something compatible with old and new skins, most of which are hosted on dev.wikia.com like w:c:dev:ShowHide. As for the logged in/out, that sometimes happens, but will resolve its self after a short period. --Uberfuzzy 09:19, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

enraged. Bug submit. And simplest form of js ever Impossible not to know what it is
This is the simplest it gets. Wikia blocks all forms of items. and elements inside the editor. My js simply generates that. Its extremely simple. Not only that. I made the script global on the wiki wide on my test wiki!!!! Have that too!! dont even need to go under my username to see this bug!!! I HATE THIS BUG! you do not know how enraged you made me. 



Don't get it? Fine i will get another admin about this. That is the simplest form of the js ever. Everyone should know exactly what it does. >.< If not. well then please learn. because i am trying to keep my temper to the minimal right now...

Please contact me under runescape.wikia.com/User_talk:Coaster4321 Unless this will notify my while im on that wiki that i got a message here then fine message me here. but i am always on runescape.wikia.com

 * I am sorry i am getting angry my sugar must of dropped. As i tested my blood sugar. it was low. I should be calm soon. But for now im double checking what i type.. Very sorry.. :(

But yest it is simple code. if you do not understand it. I am sure the dev will understand this code.

Question on stopping vandal attacks
Hi there Uberfuzzy, I'm Arbiter0416 from the Mobius Encyclopaedia wikia. As you most likely have noticed on your most recent visit, since 04 June 2011, M.E. has suffered a barrage of vandal attacks from spammers that continuously post vulgar language and post very offensive racial/gorous images on different articles. The other admins and myself have banned them over and over again, but they keep coming back by either switching IP's or they simply pick new usernames at random. Either way, it's gotten really annoying and I do have some questions for you and if you can take the time to answer them, I would greatly appreciate it.

Do you know of any way to stop these vandals for good, like block out their IP address entirely because I feel that we're just blocking out that user's multiple names without blocking their IP?

In case of a really serious vandal attack, can this wiki be locked down to where only sysops/admins can edit pages, fix vandalism for more than 12 hours (like, until further notice for example). I spoke to the current bureaucrat of this wiki, and he says that is the max time allowed for this wiki. Can you help with this?

That's all I can think of for now. Please reply back on my talkpage as soon as you can because i don't think these attacks will stop anytime soon. <font color="#191970" face="monotype corsiva"> Arbiter   <font color="#191970" face="monotype corsiva">  0416    23:29, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Edit buttons (custom and default) vanished on wikis with the new editor
I send some days ago a report about that on Special:Contact. I know, that only affects monobook, but it's not a minor issue.

While a few complains on the blog about Special:Chat not working on some users make the Staff to fix it in a few hours, despite the fact it wasn't the day for a new code release, and being the chat feature an extra, while the edit buttons has some key features that really make editing easy. Also, the charinsert is not working because of the same issue.

Since wikia isn't going to push it live until next week, you may like to put this patch on the Global.js file on central so it fixes the problem until a definitive fix is live:

if (skin == 'monobook' && (wgAction == 'edit' || wgAction == 'submit') && !window.addButton) { importScript(stylepath+'/common/edit.js?'+wgStyleVersion); }

Although it won't make the default buttons appear, since the function "addButton" is called in the HTML code before any other script is loaded, other custom edit buttons or the charinsert would work.

I could argue with you about what's the method for assigning priorities to the problems, but with this message it should be pretty clear what I think about it. Thanks, --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:44, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * The chat system has a dedicated set of people working on it, that are working on pretty much only that. Thats why fixes are being released out-of-cycle. Thats also the main reason to send bugs and feedback via the feedback button on Special:WikiaLabs and not via the normal Special:Contact. It goes right to that team, and they can work on it immediately.
 * The addButton problem is ticketed, but while the cause is simple (the lack of /common/edit.js), its not a simple fix. Something is getting loaded too late in the page, or is not being loaded at all anymore. Its being looked at by the editor team that caused that change. I will do my best to keep proding that ticket. --Uberfuzzy 22:02, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Eliminate double including of code in MediaWiki:Wikia.css
Hi Chris. A while back you told us that the reason MediaWiki:Wikia.css</tt>  did not incorporate  MediaWiki:Common.css</tt>  was because the Oasis interface was developed with a great deal of the CSS hard-coded into it. I may not be representing your point very well, but I hope the idea gets across. Anyway, I would like to reduce as much as possible any unnecessary duplication of CSS. Like a lot of other wikis, our MediaWiki:Wikia.css</tt>  has a line that imports the contents of  MediaWiki:Common.css</tt>: @import url("/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css"); I would like to reduce the contents of  MediaWiki:Common.css</tt>  so that it only contains things which are truly common to both skins, and that are not already hardcoded into the Oasis interface. In the end, I would like to have the three CSS files be like our JS files: Common.css has only those things that are needed by both skins; Monobook.css has those things that apply only to that skin; and Wikia.css has those things that apply only to the Oasis skin. As it stands now, I feel that there is a lot of duplication in these three CSS files.""Whew! Sorry to be so long-winded. What I wanted to ask you was: Is there a list of some sort that indicates the CSS that is internal to the Oasis interface and need not be added to a MediaWiki namespace CSS file? In other words, Oasis stuff that can be left out of any MediaWiki namespace CSS file and whose inclusion would be redundant?

To clarify something (again), MW:Common.css only loads on non-Oasis skins (mainly just Monobook now Monaco is removed, but also should be included in some of the special skins that some sites have for legacy reasons). MW:Common.js is included on all skins (and your JS code can check the global var "skin" to adjust things it is targeting/changing). Any other skin specific files (monobook|wikia.css|js) still only load under their skins. This was the only change.

There is no definitive list. But the reason that we no longer included Common.css into Oasis was that most of the code that was in default text of mediaWiki:common.css was moved to extension files, and patched for Oasis specific things, and there would be a duplication (and redeclaration) of many classes. All those wikis that just imported common.css into wikia.css really need to stop doing that, and check what breaks. Pretty much if there is anything that your wiki added for stuff that only existed at that wiki (like formating for special infoboxes), then those need added to Wikia.css on their own (or moved to some shared name that both common.css and wikia.css can import).

I think the 2 main things that got moved elsewhere were the default code for .infobox, and for the forum stuff. Those dont need to be included in pages that load in Oasis at all, as we load Oasis-compatible versions of them.

Nasty situation after bad upload.
Hey Uberfuzzy,

I rolled myself into a nasty situation today with uploading XML files which i shouldn't have done.

I uploaded a helpfile because of a request by a user on the wiki i am admin of. It's Help:Table file and i think i somehow corrupted the file (have posted a link to the edit section because the normal page will get your browser mixxed up and acting VERY weird.

If you would be so kind to help me out. I know it's a bad thing i did, but i truely hope you can help me here. I have tried rollback, but to no avail.

Yes, i have been importing templates to fix a cladogram option for that user, and i that turned out eventually to be going well. But this issues sadly hasn't and i truely don't know how to fix it. Please help!

Thanks

WikiPim

Issue with search bar on Swords & Potions wiki + protecting pages leads to error
Hi Chris,

At Swords & Potions wiki there is a little issue with the search bar you might be able to help out on (or not).

Due to the case sensitivity of wikia we have had quite a number of capitalization errors on this wiki, which is based on a game. Ingame the names are using normal language rules, thus making only the first word in a sentence containing a capital and the names only the first name, and sirname if applicable.

But due to widely used game 'rules' which use capitalization for nearly every word, many users have contributed the wrong capitalization in the words.

This issue has mostly been corrected by renaming those pages to the correct way.

But somehow for several pages, even though the wrong pages have been deleted multiple times, the search bar keeps referring to the wrong page. An example of that is this page which i already deleted a number of times. But even though that has been deleted several days ago, the search bar still showed the wrong page. I try to keep redirects to a minimum to prevent bad links from not showing up (we are building a bot to remove all bad links too).

Is there a way to kick the search bar into the right direction or do i need to use redirects for every page which shows up wrong in the search bar.

I tried to protect this page from being recreated by it landed me several times on an error page.

Thanks in advance for looking into this.

 * This is a known caching error. Currently, staff can manually purge the cache for your search bar if you ask via Special:Contact, but there's no permanent fix.
