bots
Hi, I got a bot flag in the Hebrew Uncyclopeia and can't find the bot flag approve pages in the other wikis. Do you have any idea? doly19:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the process for getting Bot approval at other wikis can vary from highly bureaucratic to non-existant. Can you say which wikis in particular? -- JSharp (talk) 17:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Uncyclopedia "family". doly 18:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. I believe that request system is per-wiki. That means that you'll need to request the bot flag on each wiki your bot needs to operate. Typical places to do this are in the forum or on some project space page. You'll need to look at each wiki individually to determine how to request a bot flag. -- JSharp (talk) 22:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

SMW on Bleach Wiki
JSharp, Semantic MediaWiki should probably be enabled on w:c:Bleach. They're using ACG's generic infoboxes so pages like w:c:bleach:Yoruichi Shihōin. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 8, 2008 @ 03:03 (UTC)
 * Okay, if you think they may want SMW then have them request it from me or another staff memeber. Can you point me toward a discussion on their wiki about it? :) -- JSharp (talk) 17:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Confirming Cloak Request
I am now confirming that cloak request like you said.--Bardhast 23:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * This user appears to have 2 edits globally. Why may I ask have you approved this request? I see you are still yet to reply to my earlier query as well. Could you please look into these when you have a moment? Manticore   (talk)  03:58, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Cloak requests are granted on an as come basis. The 50 contribution limit is a prioritisation measure and is not really meant to exclude. With regard to the primary versus main (uncyc/ versus wikia/ cloaks) cloak question, since the cloak's pupose is to tie an IRC account to a wiki account so that requests can be made with authority on IRC. I don't see any need to impose the edit restriction on a per-wiki basis so long as the user has reasonable cause to request a cloak in general. In short, users that abuse the system will have their cloak revoked or not granted but otherwise they're just guidelines. -- JSharp (talk) 18:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

namespace change
on counterstrike, the project space needs to be changed. My suggested change is "CSWiki", and as there's no one to argue with me... :). this is a note requested per irc. --Sky (talk) 18:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Since the administrators haven't edited there in so long, you might want to consider adopting :) -- JSharp (talk) 19:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * What, you mean like this? :P --Sky (talk) 23:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Unactive Wiki(s)
I know this seems like something that belongs to the 'Wiki Adoption Page', but I have been waiting a while with no reply. Some of the wikis I have been on have been active for some time, but one has caught my attention. The Mythbusters wiki is protected on nearly every page, and I would like to request adminship. Thank you, TingleLovah 21:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Technocracy wiki
I will bring this to the attention of several people.

User Isenhand who is also Dr. Andrew Wallace of the NET group created an article with false and misleading information in it, his group of which he is the Director (writing about himself) is an internet presence only... and trying to gain notability by falsely associating itself to an established group that they are not connected with. http://technocracy.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:NET This person has now blocked my user account for trying to edit the information to at least balance it a little... it is false and misleading as is, he is writing about himself and his group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VSCA. As you, I hope can see... I am not a vandal or a troll. I am a serious editor with a lot of experience on English wikipedia. Isenhand or Dr. Wallace is writing about himself... he is the NET director... the article he wrote is cut and pasted from an article deleted on English wiki for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Network_of_European_Technocrats

It was also deleted on the Simple wikipedia for the same reasons http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&page=:Network_of_european_technocrats It also was deleted from other misc. wiki European sites.

Andrew Wallace is filtering spam style using the information from a notable group... to promote a book he wrote on the NET web-site.. http:Disable Link//www.lulu.com/content/750510

I have edited to good purpose the article on Technocracy movement here http://technocracy.wikia.com/wiki/Technocracy_movement. That is an example of my good faith and neutrality. I act in good faith and would like to become an administrator here and also request you remove Isenhand from Administrator and possibly get rid of his account altogether or indefinitely ... as he will repeat over and over, maintaining an article for NET a commercial... though claimed not to be site... that is here to solicit donations. ... He restored NET information over and over on other websites until he was threatened with a block http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Network_of_European_Technocrats He is spamming the internet in general with his information to promote himself and his book. Please therefore unblock me and either disable Isenhands account or remove him from controlling these articles. I would be happy to continue to neutrally improve the articles in that wiki then. And I request to be made admin of that wiki on Technocracy http://technocracy.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tbonepickensetc Tbonepickensetc 15:54, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you, but I believe that User:Tbonepickensetc was blocked unjustly. User:Isenhand has failed to respond to w:c:technocracy:Special:ProblemReports/13667 and w:c:technocracy:Talk:NET. Also, he blocked Tbonepickensetc without issuing any warning, and he never explaining to him why he was banned. The block logs says troll, but that is too vague. Can you please talk to User:Isenhand about this? --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 18:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks as though Tbonepickensetc has been unblocked on that wiki. It's possible that Isenhand did not see the problem report or the note on the NET talk page. My advice would be to leave them a courteous talk page message asking for better explanation of blocks and addressing the other issues you have with them in a calm and frank manor. If they do not respond then, I'll be happy to leave them a note asking for an explanation. It seems that you've already done this and that Catherine, who is another Wikia staff member, and Isenhand have both responded so I urge you to continue discussing the issues there. I would also like to note that I've privately responded to an e-mail sent by Tbonepickensetc regarding this same issue, but I'm also addressing it here for completeness. -- JSharp (talk) 18:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Rename Wiki?
User:Argox has recently started "Wikifur, la enciclopedia furry". That title is too long, so we would like to rename it to just "WikiFur", so that it matches the other five wikis of the same title. Would it be possible to rename it? The reason I'm posting this instead of Argox is that we agreed that I should take care of the technical details. However, I'll have him come and confirm what I'm asking as soon as he can.

Thanks in advance. --Fibonacci 16:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I confirm what Fibonacci stated previously, we would like to change the name of the wiki to "WikiFur" if its possible.

Thank you very much. facundov@gmail.com 23:55, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done :) wgSitename is now simply 'WikiFur' -- JSharp (talk) 17:50, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Le sigh
See. anything wrong with this picture?

It's not sitewide .js, it's not sitewide .css, it's not a specific skin's styling. It's not global wikia, as cs.wikia.com obviously doesn't have issues. It /might/ be c:ssb:template:navbox or conflicting styling there. I'll poke a little more. --Sky (talk) 01:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Obviously tidy caused. It's not conflicting styling with navbox either. --Sky (talk) 14:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually I don't think it's tidy caused. It looks as though the problem may have been caused by caching. Clearing your cache and cookies and reloading the page should fix the issue. -- JSharp (talk) 18:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

R&C wiki friendship
Hi, recently a vote was taken on the Ratchet & Clank wiki to propose a friendship with two very related wikis, the Jak and Daxter wiki and the Resistance Fall of Man wiki. here and here show the proposals I left on administrators talk pages. On both wikis I've noticed a lack of activity from administrators, and I've recieved a message saying that the administrator isn't acitve form a user on one of the wikis. I was wondering if you could sort something out, for example create a forum on the wikis about it or something. I didn't want to do anything as I couldn't really start a vote on the other wikis, or if I could... well I didn't feel to comfortable about doing that on a wiki that I haven't edited properly. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could reply on any of my talk pages on any wiki I edit (here will do fine) Thanks, Hunterj | My talk 14:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Technocracy wikia
One user is pretty much in control of the Technocracy wikia site now. That person is Isenhand or Andrew Wallace.... director of NET who originated the first of the articles. That person is now spamming his self penned and vanity press published book. In other words through mismanagement here at wikia... a user has either page protected or blocked other users from editing and is controlling with a brand of P.O.V. edits information that is leading eventually to his self published book... and its biased and non notable information.

Andrew Wallace or Isenhand is not a notable person in regard to his claim of being the leader of a social movement. He has tied his notability on trying to connect himself to the actual notable movement Technocracy Incorporated... which he disparages through out his wikia writings... and especially has promoted false and misleading information in regard to Howard Scott... the original groups founder and leader.

I suggest that if control of the information can not be disconnected from this one biased editor who has either blocked or page protected himself from others... that the entire set of information in the wiki be removed, and this site of articles be taken down. As long as Isenhand or Dr. Andrew Wallace is going to use wikia for a spam promotion site.... he, if the past is any indication, is not going to provide good, neutral, objective information... and is going to control .. manipulate.. and give misleading or false information as to actual information on the subject of Technocracy Technate design... and the history and present situation of connected ideas. I would appreciate a cold and hard look being given http://technocracy.wikia.com/wiki/Technocracy_Wiki this whole series of articles with the view of either deleting the whole bunch now... or removing Isenhand from Administration. Thank you for your consideration. Tbonepickensetc 16:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

hope you can help sort it out.

Thanks you in advance

Requesting Removal Of Administrative Status
Hello, I am here to request that you remove my Administrative/Bureaucrat status from the CABAL wiki (cabal.wikia.com) as I no longer play the game nor have the time or urge to keep it updated as no one else is interested in it and the only changes to it are either mine or vandalism. Thank you. --Wiccaan 12:52, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Normally, you'd ask at Wiki adoption requests, but this wiki does not meet such criterion. The wiki has an active community, with active sysops.

Semantic Issues
JSharp, I'm having some sudden issues with parts of my Semantic MediaWiki I was wondering if you could look into. First, I tried to create a new Semantic template like normal, allowing numbers to go in ascending order. However, for some odd reason, it now considers 13 above 3 or 4, for example. I understand why it might do that, but the exact same entry on sister templates results in a typical 1, 2, 3, 4,....13, order. I went to look at one of the other sister templates and it's not loading for some odd reason (http://thirdturn.wikia.com/wiki/Template:ResultFormMod). I throw that in because I'm not sure if the problems are related or not. Thanks DaNASCAT 14:53, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

IRC issue
Hey JSharp, Angela tells me you're handling a problem that recently occured on the #swfanon IRC channel. This is the one where all of the Operators had their flags removed so they could do nothing but basic operator commands, not being able to add to the Op list or anything else. This happened four days ago, within the same hour. The only ones who were not affected by this were the users Manticore, Jack Phoenix, Angela and possibly one other person, which I'm sure you already know. I'm told it will be fixed by tomorrow, and that whoever did it won't be able to do it again, but if at all possible I would appreciate it if you would be able to tell me who did this so we can deal with this matter in accordance with our IRC policies. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

A small group of us have started Parkinson's.wiki.com, which we plan to develope into the central website for all things having to do with Parkinson's Disease. If all goes well, it will serve a U.S. community of 1.5 mil plus the international community. Catherine Munro helped us originally. Since then we have been trying to develope the site, but as you can see, we are not getting very far. Our goal is to create the opening page, which is to include a brief statement about us and our purposes. Then we'd like to have a site TOC, followed by a longer statment about who we are and our goals, followed by a copy of your policies governing participation, directions for beginners to contribute/edit, and then, a copy of Wikipedia's Parkinson's Disease pages. A list of topics to be developed by the community will follow. Our group is computer literate, but we are feeling stymied in our efforts to edit and add. It would be extremely useful if I/we could speak with someone there who would be willing to walk us through beginning steps and point us in the right direction re learning the language of wikia. Might that be possible? ThanksDavidEger 14:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
