Inactive
Hiya Sannse, in case you haven't seen on your other talk, can you please demote two inactive bureaucrats on the Dragon Ball Fanon Wiki?

"The active administration team has decided to remove Chester Patrick and SSWerty from their bureaucrat position, due to their inactivity. May you please do that for us? Thank you. "

Please look into this, thanks. -KidVegeta

A big problem on Avatar The Last Airbender WikI!
Look at this http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Buttongoo/Subliminal_messages_in_Avatar a extremly rated R blog which is completely inappopiate for a kids wiki. And the highest rating for the Avatar Wiki is PG-13 this surpassasses that! I think it needs to be deleted before it destroys the wiki! 21:38, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * Sannse can only check her talk page so often. She is quite busy. If you want a faster Special:Contact. Though if you just want a blog deleted, talk to an admin.--
 * I read through the links that both users provided and I believe it was the decision of the community(admins included) to keep the blog becuase it didn't violate any policies, and the user is against the decision. Also this is just my opinion, but I don't think it's likely that staff will delete the blog.
 * Indeed. We delete stuff that's not within our Terms of Use, but this isn't close to that - so it's up to the community to decide where they want to draw the line. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:29, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Logo Creation merge with Community Central
Anything happening with the effort at merging Logo Creation wiki with Community Central? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Jun 2011 2:29 PM Pacific


 * Followup with Dopp discussed here now, I guess. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 24 Jun 2011 2:18 PM Pacific
 * Yep, Dopp's got it... and sorry for not getting back to you sooner about it. We can likely get one of the techy guys to do a mass import of all the images and so on, and then Dopp can make you admin here so you can continue to look after it. (And once I'm a bit more caught up on stuff, I really want to get back to making some more themes) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:45, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Photoshop Template
Hey Sannse, I remember a while back you had a template guide that you said you used when making backgrounds for wikis. Do you still have that? I am attempting to make my own backgrounds for a little project I am working on.--


 * Yep, it's Background_template.psd. Hopefully .psd will work for you? If not, let me know what you need and I'll convert (it uses layers, so a .png version won't be as useful, but I can upload that if you need it) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:47, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Urgent
Sannse, This is urgent. Two admins on Dragon Ball Fanon Wiki have become vandals. They are Kidvegeta and Destructivedisk. They plan to hack your account andf delete the main wikis. They have figured yours and the other wiki staff members passwords. You must stop them.NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Supersaiyian11 23:17, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * It is highly unlikely that they would be able to hack Sannse's account, and even if they could, the account could be easily disabled. As for admins vandalizing, you should report that to Special:Contact.

Turns out they were kidding my bad.Supersaiyian11 00:09, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Possibly Problematic Volunteer
Hello Sannse!

I'd like to let you, and the rest the Wikia staff here on Community Central know about an apparant problem user here on this wiki. His user name is Charitwo, and he a part of the Volunteer Spam Task Force. Recently, he has blocked two users with any clear warning, and will not give a descriptive reason for the blocks besides "Disruptive Behavior". Hopefully, as a staff member, you can review these with a non-biased viewpoint and resolve this issue.

Here are the contributions and talk pages for the users involved:
 * Charitwo's Talk Page
 * Charitwo's Contributions
 * Bryce53's Talk Page
 * Bryce53's Contributions
 * X2's Talk Page
 * X2's Contributions

Thanks for your time! MontagnaMagica|Talk 23:06, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Charitwo did nothing wrong. Bryce and X2 were blocked for good reason. Blocks are not to be discussed with users that it does not pertain to.--



'''I'm going to move this discussion to User blog:MontagnaMagica/Questions about banning. Let's continue this discussion there!''' MontagnaMagica|Talk 00:47, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * You really should move this discussion to Special:Contact as the only ones to give you the answers you want to listen to will come from them. There is no need for a blog that others will post on just to tell you the same thing. Rappy 00:51, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, I already have sent my message to the staff via Special:Contact. Although I still am interested in hearing what others users think about this. MontagnaMagica|Talk 00:58, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Just to conclude this thread: the message MontagnaMagica sent was replied to, pretty much with what was said above. Staff were aware of the blocks, and agree with them. But we prefer not to discuss details of most incidents, except with those directly involved. There are a lot of factors here: including the balance between keeping the community informed, respecting the privacy of those concerned, not "feeding the trolls" by giving extra publicity to those we have to block, and not spending time debating blocks when we could be working on something more helpful (like keeping up with my talk page >_<) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 03:19, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hi there.

New Plugboy Password
Plugboy was an old account of mine specifically used to make the Plug Wiki. But I just abandoned it, and forgot my password. I would like you to "e-mail" me a new password, but not actually e-mail it to me. In fact, use my talk page to tell me. I'll erase the message and change my password, so even if a user sees it in the history, it won't be my password anymore. I'll then make my current account an admin and fix up the wiki. Problem solved.

The reason I can't have you e-mail it to me is because I don't have an e-mail address. Another user made my current account (I changed the default password, of course), but told me to blank the e-mail, since it wasn't mine. This is the only way since my adoption request was declined.

---****--- Roads (Hey, man, you've GOT to try this sandwich!) 16:03, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but that's not possible. We would never give out a password on a public talk page - even if it's there for a moment it's no longer secure. And without a valid email, we have no way of verifying that you are the owner of the account. The best thing is to simply start editing on the wiki, and you'll soon be eligable to adopt it. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 03:38, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay. Actually, my parents are thinking of setting up an e-mail address for me, so I may be able to get a new password soon. ---****--- Roads (Hey, man, you've GOT to try this sandwich!) 12:36, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

A question regarding copyrights
Is it ok to upload pictures from to a wiki and provide attribution?--Mr.Wikia 12:41, June 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Those pictures of copyright of the artist and you should get permission if you want to use them. Copyright can be complicated, and sometimes it's fine to use images as "fair use" - but that's likey to be in cases where it's something like a screenshot or promotional image of a game or TV show you are writing about (and when the makers of the game or show don't mind fans using their images that way). Where it's an artist's site, it's much less likely to fit in to that category -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 03:53, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Wikicars
Hello. Wikicars would like to merge with Autopedia. Wikicars special:export does not work. Could you guys run a bot to get the 6,000 articles and 27,000 images moved over to autopedia? Is this possible? Thank you. ---Hockeyben 19:15, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikicars uses the GNU GPL license, I don't remember if that's compatible with Wikia or not. Assuming it is, you should get a database dump instead of using Special:Export - as Special:Import only takes files under 10mb, and 6000 articles is much larger than that.

The site doesn't provide a data dump. And nobody on it has mediawiki access. What im wondering is if a bot can import everything quickly and easily. ---Hockeyben 00:20, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, forget this. It won't work. To much spam would be imported, which means the whole idea of this would be useless. Sorry ---Hockeyben 00:25, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh wow, they really do have a spam problem. Thank you VSTF for making sure Wikia doesn't have anything like that!


 * Other than the spam, the license issues would be the main problem. The two licenses aren't compatible at all. However, if any of the authors there want to move content over that they wrote, that's fine (they own the copyright, so can put it on Wikia under the Creative Commons license we use). You don't have to have permission from all editors, if someone just did small contributions like corrections and formatting that doesn't matter - it's the person who wrote the main body of each article that has to agree.


 * And looking around, it looks as though some articles are copied from Wikipedia. They use the same license as us, so those articles can be transfered over too (with the correct attribution, which isn't always on the Wikicars site)


 * And finally, you can transfer over any information from the wiki you like. Facts are not copyrightable, so as long as you rewrite in your own words, any of the details they have gathered can be used on Wikia too.


 * All in all, it would be a lot of work... but it might be possible. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 03:19, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply.:) One user (Red marquis) did almost all the edits on wikicars (over 100,000) before he was blocked. He is fine with the articles being transferred. Is there a bot that you guys could run to get all 6,000 pages and 27,000 images over? I think this might be the best possible solution. Is there Amy way this will work? -Hockeyben 03:56, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll see if I can find someone to help :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  00:30, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hi Sannse I was wondering if you could help me out with a problem I have with a Wiki Site that I helped recently create for a User I know. The problem is this User who comes on to my Wiki Site for DC Comics Hero The Flash wanted to know how to create his own Wiki Site for The Flash so I decide to help him out. I told him I would create a new wiki site for you and then transfer all control over to you so it would make him head admin and basically the guy incharge. But after I did that task of transfering control over to this user I accidentally made the mistake of forgeting to give him the burocrate rights as well. After that happen the user didn't want the site even though he had the head admin rights feature and he also didn't want it because he didn't like the title of the sites name because it was to long. Overall what happen next was he create another site for The Flash which he has full control over. But what I was wondering could you guys possible get rit of the new Wiki Site I helped create for him or simply have someone else adopt it. The main reason behind this request is I would like to see someone have full control and able to run this site or simply get rit of it because I personally am not going to be able to help out in any because I have my own sites I run and that takes up most of my time. If you could help me in solving this problem I would be very happy the link to the site is below. Oh well talk to you when you send a message back hope you can help solve this problem.

Greatings
I am the bureaucrat of both Godzilla Wiki and King Kong Wiki the Godzilla wiki is a big community and has many information about godzilla and King Kong while the King Kong Wiki is a very small community and bearly anyone edits there, fans of King Kong come to godzilla wiki to edit there and add info about King Kong, because King Kong appeared in the godzilla franchise and films therefor godzilla wiki is the home of King Kong franchise and Godzilla ofcaurse, so King Kong Wikia.com will always be a small community, so I would like to request to merge the two wikis together, but not now if this is possible I will first notify the communities, then I will move the content from King Kong Wiki to godzilla wiki, thanks.--MarwanNabihWikia (Talk | contribs) 15:03, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
Is there a way to change which four categories appear at the top of my Wikia? Like how Community Central's four are 'Learn About the Wikia', 'Wikia News', etc etc. My wikia always shows the categories with the most pages on them, which I want to change and select individual categories to show. I'm sure something says how to change it somewhere, but I apologize because I can't find out how. If it helps, when I edit the mediawiki page, it says:


 * visited|TopContent


 * category1


 * category2

User rights drama on GTAWiki
Hi Sannse. I'm posting this to your talk page instead of using the Help Contact Form because you were the one who dealt with this in the past.

I'm sure you remember the situation on GTAWiki with the old crew of sysops starting a new wiki and trying to turn GTAwiki into an advertising post. One of the first things you did was desysopped User:Chimpso. User:Biggest gta fan ever (who is currently serving an indefinite block you handed to him) promptly resysopped him. Since all this started Chimpso had only contributed to edit war with active staff and write a blog advertising the other wiki.

I started a discussion on GTAWiki about desysopping him via community vote expecting it would pass easily, but he showed up to defend himself, and it failed by a 3-2 vote. At that time I was unaware that you had desysopped him so I let it go. I only discovered that he was desysopped and resysopped, tonight. And so I decided to bring it to your attention. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 07:34, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Please remove a Wikia
Excuse me, but there's a Wikia that claims to be official, but confuses the game continuity with the TV show and comic continuities. The Wikia is called SonicTheHedgehog Wikia. I'm afraid that people will read the content on this wikia and become confused with the Sonic media. I don't mean to sound rude, but please remove it. Also, the creator of the wikia is somewhat of a troll. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master   True gamers lesbian the Scott Pilgrim series  00:52, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't see anything claiming that it's official.

 * Well, it tries to combine all Sonic continuities into one, and claiming it all to be canon. He said something like that on a blog on another Sonic-related wikia. He was also banned from that wikia for harrasement and trolling. Not to mention the front page says "Fan Fiction is Not Allowed". One example of false info is claiming that Sonic is related to Tonic (StC character) and Sonia and Manic (Sonic Underground characters), while saying that his real name is Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog, which is his early "real" name in the Archie comic continuity.
