Thank you
Thank you for your swift response and your help on this matter. Most of the pages on that wiki have been removed now, but I'll continue to monitor it in case of any future copyright breaches. Thanks again.  thetrom  21:15, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * Just so you know, Duskullbone from freepokemon.wikia sockpuppeted elsewhere with the name Gengarblood3; an account with this name is currently editing while Duskullbone is blocked. I'm not sure if you want to follow up with this at all, but I thought I'd let you know.  thetrom  21:49, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Favicons without warning messages
Hi Sannse, just tried to create a favicon for w:c:mallingonline via Help:Favicon then online favicon generator (google search) then http://favicon-generator.org/

When I uploaded the file I got a warning message that may contain malicious code or similar. Is there a way to find a site which produces something which doesn't generate a scary warning message? Cheers Philralph @ sca21 08:51, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've seen this happening randomly. For some reason, it gets detected as MIME type "image/x-ico" and not "image/x-icon" --Uberfuzzy 09:32, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you get it in the bugs list Uber? Or is it something outisde of our system causing it? -- sannse (talk) 22:37, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, any advice re this yet? I tried again using the first 2 links to come up on the google page, but still getting the warning message when uploaded the file, so deleted it/them Philralph @ sca21 08:21, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Vandal
Good day, Sannse. My name is Gamefreak75, you may know me from Kirby Wikia. I am here to ask a favor of you. Can you please check the I.P. address of the user StoobenRooben on the Mario Wikia and could you please give me the I.P. address. I need to check this problem out with others who are concerned with this threat. I greatly appreciate it. --Gamefreak75


 * Hi, please can you send the details to us via Special:Contact? Please include why you need the IP. Usually, we don't give them out, it's enough just to block the vandal and include the setting to block the IP too. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 22:43, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I emailed the details. --Gamefreak75

Wiki viewing figures
I was wondering Sannse if there is a way of seeing how an individual wiki compares to others with the viewing figures other than just searching loads of wikis on the Quantserve link you referred to on ad-free wiki page. Is there a league table of wikis, by viewing figures, pages etc ? I'm curious as to how 'my' wiki ranks compared to others for a nich interest group is 100K page views per month high or rather poor ? - BulldozerD11 17:26, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know of a good way to see that I'm afraid. I hope that there will be better tools for this in the future, but at the moment we don't have that available. Sorry -- sannse (talk) 00:30, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK thanks it was just a thought. There must be loads of stats out ther its just getting the infor out. Several of the wigets like referals and the most viewed pages lists have stopped working at times, so I know gathering such data is a problem for wikia. Would be goodto have some stats pages other then the Biggest wikis (by page count) (which some wikis structures fiddle any way). Wikia are able to extract number of editors info as some of the new Hubs have some data based on that displayed. I'll never get very far in any league table based on editor numbers (3 regular editors is my record), as a niche subject compared to the games and Fanon sites :( - Thanks any way please add better cross wiki stats to wish list ;) - BulldozerD11 01:06, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Blocked without making an edit
Hi Sannse,

I'm a wikipedia user and admin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Protonk) who seems to have been blocked for a year on a wikia project I have never made an edit to (see this block log). Jack Merridew raised a similar point here. As he probably pointed out to you, the number of people blocked arbitrarily is close to a dozen, all over some disputes on the english wikipedia. I apologize for bringing the politics of that wiki here, but I figured you should know what you have on your hands at list.wikia. You may email me from my wikipedia page if you would like to reply. I don't have this page watchlisted. 184.59.8.54 09:41, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia-DW channel (Solved quickly by Sannse)
Hi Sannse, The freenode staffers told me to ask you about my creation of the channel

#wikia-urealms they mentioned something about "group contacts" anywho. the channel is for editors/admins of http://deadliestwarrior.wikia.com/wiki/Deadliest_Warrior_Wiki Thanks very much for your time. have a great day --ShadowTale 02:30, May 21, 2010 (UTC).

Hi, I'm an admin on some wikis and i create lots of wikis. On Wikis, I only give my name and my location. If I can help, please leave a message on my talk page! Thanks! Trikster87, 14:28, May 21 2010 (UTC)

Why aren't you going to unblock you on pokemon.wikia.com? it is my favorite wikia and I keep forgetting why. Charitwo keeps reverting my edits and blocks me when I try to discuss with him. Can you lend a hand and talk to him for me? thanks User:Duskullbone

Evangelion Wiki
Hello, I know this is totally random but I just checked the Evangelion Wiki (just because), and happened to notice some nazi pages in there (What??)

I know they shouldn't be there.

There's no admin there to talk about it. Would you please check it out and see what's goin on? I marked them with deletion.

Religion wiki
Hi Sannsee,

I committed a small edit on the main page of the religion wiki. I was disappointed that it was not there yet, but happy that the edit appeared to be blue. Thank you for the reward: The kind Welcome message you did send to my page. Keep up the good work on Wikia. Cheers ClubFavolosa 18:06, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm not sure where your edit went... it should have shown up straight away. If you can show me where you edited, I can check it out for you. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 22:05, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Help with templates
When trying to use the template, I found that it didnt work because there isnt the template. Is there any way I can "create" the template? I looked on multiple wikis but couldn't find out why theres works. Mikeboy52UESP 16:16, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Spongebob Fanon wiki problems
There's problems at spongefan with vandals impersonating users and generally trolling. I've told c:User:Bigman602 over IRC that he should contact Wikia staff for help with the situation, but he said you should talk to him in the #spongebob-fanon IRC channel if you want to help him. Is that alright with you? --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 21:17, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, Uberfuzzy and I have both tried to help there... but we can't help unless Bigman and others are willing to work with us. So I'm afraid they are on their own now. I recomend strongly that anyone dragged in to this backs out as quickly as possible. If the problems spread to other wikis, then my suggestion is the classic "revert, block, ignore". Thanks -- sannse (talk) 23:14, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have a question; how come people have to be atleast 13 to be a part of wiki? What Comes Up Must come down....
 * People need to be 13 or older to create an account on Wikia due to the COPPA law in the USA, which is designed to protect younger people from certain bad sites on the internet. Even though Wikia is international, they are based out of the USA, and as such follow American law. Ajraddatz Talk 22:52, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

thats a stupid law.....to a certain degree......>_< What Comes Up  Must come down....

Googlemap extension on Solo Wiki

rich text editor
Greetings from the Greek Uncyclopedia! I am admin Tzellos94, we have spoken before and I want to ask you something. In my wiki there is something called rich text editor, which causes problems in big articles. How can I disable it from the whole wiki?I mean, make it disappear as an option. --nikos 09:39, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi, Sannse! Um, I have learned of that Spam Task Force thing, and I was hoping that I can volunteer for it. It sounds like fun, and like to save wikis from spam destruction.

Global userpage
Hi,

In case you didn't noticed it already, this change made in all wikis isn't working as expected. At least, it isn't showing as a template but as an empty message, although w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:User_Sannse exists. Maybe it's a cache problem, but it won't work on non-english wikis because is bound to the user language, so it would work for you in english, but not for me in spanish nor other language, so you may want to create that message in all languages. Cheers. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 15:47, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * It seems it's a problem with messaging :( it's not working as I expected at all. It should fall-back to the English version until I get other versions. Oh well, thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out tomorrow -- sannse (help forum | blog) 02:37, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Squid the Baptist
At Spongebob Fanon Wiki, we now realize the vandal is Squid the Baptist (a.k.a. Neon Madman) and he has control of the whole wiki! I need you to please, unblock me and take away Squid the Baptist's (Neon Madman's) admin and bureaucrat rights. He has also threatened to use bots to make thousands of this disgusting article.

Automatic talk page messages for new users
Hi, Lisa. I noticed that an automatic talk page message on my wiki was credited to you. I had customized the message for my wiki with a custom message and my contact information. Could you tell me why that's been overwritten, and how I can return it to the correct message? The wiki in question is Our Brant. Mistydemeo 20:20, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because your last edit was over 30 days ago. Where as sannse's last edit was a day ago, changing her user page. Because she (as staff) was the last sysop OR staff to edit, and the sysop's last edit was considered "old", the staff specific message kicked in. This is done so that new users on wikis that have no active admins still get welcomed, but they dont get a message that makes it seem like the staff is actually part of that wiki. --Uberfuzzy 20:37, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right, thanks. That's a bit unfortunate - with the site's topic, edits are relatively sporadic, but it doesn't mean that I am no longer the active admin. Mistydemeo 20:41, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Best way to make sure this doesn't happen is to edit it at least every 30 days :) You should be able to find something to tweak -- sannse (help forum | blog) 02:39, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Gundam Wiki
We kinda need some help in our wiki http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. Since there are no other active admin or staff there, I came here for help. There is a member named Blastoise2045, who kept editing pages with unnecessary and, at one page, false information.

At some point, I made a discussion to make him prove some of his/her claims, but he/she didn't respond and just continued to edit.

I wish someone would take some look at this and make some action. Thanks --Bronx01 01:05, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Moving the vektapedia/killzone wiki
Hi,

I'm currently a bureaucrat/administrator at the [| Killzone Wiki], or as the sitename tells me, the Vektapedia. Is it possible to remove "Vektapedia" as a sitename, and simply use "Killzone Wiki" instead? That would make it look a bit more professional.

Thanks in advance,

creating a wiki
Hi Sannse,

I was hoping to make a Wiki for Doraleous and Associates but the wiki creator won't let me use da.wikia.com because it needs to be atleast 3 letters long like "DnA.wikia.com" or something. I was wondering if we could get around that manually. I'd love to make Doraleous.wikia.com but honestly no one knows how to spell Doraleous properly.

Looking forward to hearing back from you --ShadowTale 18:16, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * The reason it has to be at least 3 characters is because of language codes, da.wikia.com would be reserved for the Danish version of Community Central (which hasn't been created yet).


 * If you want a recommendation, I recommend using the exact spelling (e.g. doraleousandassociates.wikia.com ) with the wiki name as Doraleous and Associates, as that will be much more favorable in search results when people search for your wiki. I wouldn't worry about possible misspellings.

Memory Delta
I just adopted the Memory Delta wiki and it needs a lot of staff support to get going. I would feel a little weird sending in several messages using Special:Contact, or try to explain everything in one giant message, so if you're going to be available I think it would be faster and easier to use the talk pages or IRC (Memory Alpha's channel). If Special:Contact is the best way to go, let me know. Thanks. - 13:27, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Unless you really need a direct chat, Special:Contact from the wiki is the best way to go. That way, more than one Community Team member will see the message and more than one will be able to help. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 14:20, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'll respond here, since this is where the conversation is, so sorry Sannse for using your talk page as a forum.

Actually, having only one person helping is the very reason I prefer not using Special:Contact, since everyone on staff is not up to speed with what a wiki wants/needs/does. I already sent my multiple requests in, and after a day was advised against the change I requested. As you know from my adoption request for that wiki, I was actually requesting the site address, not the single page or the grammatically incorrect site name, but the person responding didn't know all that so \I had to explain it all over again, which is generally just a waste of time and patience if it can be avoided. This is not to say that Special:Contact doesn't work, I just think it would be easier to bring only one person up to speed and have them handle any (major) help requests, since I know some of the things I requested for this wiki, and some that Memory Alpha has requested in the past, may not make sense at first glance to everyone on Wikia's staff. - 19:37, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

The Last Bastion of Evil
How is it that you're such a grim reaper? I find two of my three wikis are destroyed from staff, I hurry to see the third is intact and the only change is that you have registered a userpage for yourself on that wiki. I am confused, so I respond on your talk page with a question. A few hours later, that wiki is also deleted.

Is there some sort of reason you or other staff cannot communicate? Does it make you feel more powerful to just cause destruction without saying a word?--Killdeer 13:20, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Countdown clock
Greetings,

I apologize for sending you a message without you knowing who I am(considering I'm from a different Wiki). I am currently a user at PotC Wiki, and I am here to ask something of the greatest urgency(mostly because the thing I'm asking for seems like a GREAT idea for the Wiki). There is a new installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is set for release on May 20, 2011(just in case if you didn't know). And I went into the Narnia Wiki(I am not a user there, but I am a fan of Narnia), I've noticed that they have a countdown clock for Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the new Narnia film(which is one of the many films that I am looking forward to seeing). When I saw that they had a countdown clock(for their future Narnia film), I thought "Our Wiki is in DESPERATE need of a countdown clock"(considering there's a new Pirates film that we can show in the PotC Wiki). But the problem is, no one in the PotC Wiki knows how to make a countdown clock. So, what I'm asking is, do you know how(or do you know someone who knows how), to make a countdown clock? If you help me with this situation, I will be forever grateful(and thankful for your assistance, if you help me). And I promise to give you FULL credit of making this possible for the PotC Wiki(if you need it).

Sincerely,

CJSFan: here's my my userpage

P.S. If you need to contact me, either respond to my talk page or my email on PotC Wiki:
 * (TPS) The code in question for the countdown timer is currently the only content on MediaWiki:Common.js on the Narnia wiki. Due to the compatible license between Narnia Wiki and the Pirates wiki, you can copy the code into your wiki's own Common.js. To make the timer work:

.
 * 1) Copy the code from narnia to pirates wiki. (make sure you attibute the code to http://narnia.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js&action=history).
 * 2) Place this code into your wiki's MediaWiki:Sitenotice: (replacing the date with the date you want to count down to)
 * If you did everything correctly, you should now have a countdown clock on the sitenotice of your wiki. I'm watching this page, so feel free to ask here for help if you need it Random Time  16:48, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your assistance. But, unfortunately, I will not be able to make sure if it works on the Main Page of PotC Wiki, because only admin can edit it. Fortunately, I have someone who may do it, Uskok(one of the amin of PotC Wiki who I know very well). He will be able to assist with this. CJSFan 17:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, he unblocked it for me just as I send you this message(sorry). CJSFan 17:19, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Lost in space
Hi

I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to create a space where my students can find links, add comments , post little bits of research , ideas , group projects , etc without

the whole thing getting dragged down into a digital whirlpool. So, my first question is , can I screen contributors so that only my class can post ? If not, then I suppose I will make this just my own

little space they can visit. I just want to avoid unwanted postings, or to be able to preview their posts
