==Bots (Support Request #151168) == Thanks for your reply. As my wiki does not have a community, I would like to have my bot account, Eladkse Bot, flagged as a bot so I can use it on Casualty Wiki (and if possible, Holby City Wiki). Eladkse @Project Holby 12:36, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Eladkse! Your bot flags are in place for both wikis. Enjoy! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:54, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Layton Wiki
Hello. First and for all thanks for the fast reply to my email, I never expected an answer before the end of the day! I shall do as you suggested and contact the owners and contributors of the other Layton Wikis to see if I can get a reply. I noticed on this page that an unregistered user used a Staff Tag, in case you want to investigate it). For the rest, good luck with being a Wikia Staffer yourself :) - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 22:08, March 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up -- i took care of it. If you see more, the best place to report it is at http://vstf.wikia.com. Good luck with the wikis! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:19, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Bot Flag
Could you give my account Grilbot a bot flag for Suite Life Wiki and Random-ness Wiki? Thanks in advance. Mr. Grille (talk page) 20:42, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please check with your wiki communities about your plans for a bot to make sure there are no objections, and then submit this request to Special:Contact with a link to those conversations. Thanks! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:47, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Commentadmins?
Hi dopp, do you think it is possible to add a user group "commentadmins" on the complipedia? We have multiple users that we don't really want to give sysop status to just to be able to delete comments. I'd be really happy if you could :).

Eglinton talk  00:50, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Creating a new user group might require a change in the PHP - you aren't likely to get your own for just your wiki. Or if you can, they'd probably want you to send it to you via Special:Contact.

Hello Dopp. I am Jake R. It says i'm banend by a user named Angela for vandalism around all of wiki. I think this is a mistake. I never vadalized. I need help D:. I never vandalized, and this was right after I got my user name changed. I changed it from Tdifan24 to Jake R. I dunno what is going wrong. I never vadalized.

Jake R


 * Hi Jake, can you post the full text of the block notice for me to review? (Or send it to Special:Contact and put "For Dopp" in the subject line if it contains any personal information that shouldn't be posted here).

About Licensing
can I not put a link and alter the articles alittle, I like changing/deleting some texts?WikisEditor 19:50, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

I want to say another thing that when they moved to their site, they took a copy of all the articles to their new site without providing a source to here, so I think its pretty fair we shouldn't too, when they do, we'll do too, please correct me if I am wrong.WikisEditor 20:00, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * If this is the GTA wiki situation, the way to attribute is quite easy. Just put as a notice on the top of the page, or somewhere noticable "this article uses content from grandtheftwiki.com" - and then a link to the diff of the article where you copied the content. To find a diff link, go to the history page, and click on the datestamp of the revision you copied example of a diff link. If you've got a lot of articles like this, you might want to create a template similar to Template:Wikipedia.
 * (edit conflict) When they split, they took all the history pages with them, this means that the edits have already been attribued by the licence. As you can't merge the history like that, the easiest way to do it is a link back to the diff that you copied from.  Random Time  20:04, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is all this really necessary, what might happen if I don't do this?WikisEditor 20:15, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * >can I not put a link and alter the articles a little, I like changing/deleting some texts?
 * You can rewrite the articles so that they are in your own words. That requires a full rewriting, though... not just making a few changes.
 * > Is all this really necessary, what might happen if I don't do this?
 * If you don't address this, the conflict with former members will escalate, and Wikia will need to step in and intervene because of legal threats.

 * Good work! We double-checked their attribution requirements, and your method meets their stated guidelines. Please make sure it's on every single page you copied over, including Templates and Image file pages (we don't see it on those yet. Also, i think you missed the Liberty_City/New_York_Landmarks page). Once you've take care of that, I think we can consider this closed.

The wiki activity bug
Hi pls take a look at this picture. It shows the bug on the Special:WikiActivity page that i notified you of before. There should be more activities at the last and there should be an option saying see more recent activity.

Thank you, Dopp
Hi Dopp, thanks for fixing the vi Phineas and Ferb wiki!

Oh, I would like to help Vietnamese people wikis translate some mediawiki extension and It has been done 13%. I don't know how does they will be enable and I will try my hard to keep translating. The Pop up create pages and some has been done.

Can you help me two thing? One is, I don't know where is the translating page type, like "Forum:", "Category:", "Template:",... I need change Forum: to Diễn đàn:. Second is: can you short my username? I need it shorter from XiaoQiaoGrace to Xiao Qiao (has a space between Xiao Qiao), that will give me the easier and familiar work on wikis.

I request to you for fixing this problem in vi wikia, the signup pop-up window has problems, when the people fill all username, it check right, but that username sometimes has been used by other people, that is the 1st problem, the second is language box to choose, I think when they click on signup in a vi wikia site, the language default must be Tiếng Việt, I try creating account in vi PaF wiki, the language seem Srilanka or Hindi or some things, that will make the Vietnamese people think that is the "normal" problem error when they want to sign up in wikia, some Vietnamese asked me why the error appear when they signup. I just tip them change their references. Can you check me all of these?

The Media Wikis are enable on vi wiki, now I can relax and feel comfortable wait the children and fans of two big ideas boys come to the wiki.

Thanks for help me, Dopp.

 * Hi Xiao Qiao! I'm glad things are working better. The best (and fastest) way to get wiki adjustment requests handled is to keep submitting them via Special:Contact.


 * For your namespace translations (Forum:, Category:, etc), please send me a complete list of all of the namespaces, and what their translations should be.


 * I just started your account rename process. It will take some time, and you'll get an email when the process is complete.


 * Can you give me an example of a username that already exists, that the Sign Up window allows you to enter? Can you fully create the account? A screenshot might be helpful.


 * I see how the default language on sign-up is unusual. That's a bug, and I am reporting it


 * I look forward to your responses to some of these questions via Special:Contact. Thanks! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:53, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Redirecting to Mirror Realms Games
Hi Dopp,

Yes, I've decided to merge the Puppet Guardian Wiki with the Magical Rooms Wiki, into a new wiki called Mirror Realms Games Wiki. I've done most of the exports and stuff, but the main thing still lacking is the images. It would be wonderful if you could transfer the images from those two wikis to the new one! One thing, try not to overwrite the ones that I've already added.

The permanent redirect would also be nice.

Thanks,

Vanessa Brandon
Can you block the userVanessa Brandon in Degrassi Wiki again? It seems to me he/she doesn't seem get the meaning of Intimidating behavior/harassment towards his/her fellow members. He continuously posted harassing comments/intimidating comments at Jessica Tyler's page about another member. Can you please look at that, because he claims its his/her way of expressing opinions". All he/she is doing bringing trouble once again on wiki by mentioning and harrassing members.

Hi Dopp, I have send email to community@wikia.com and use Special:Contact, I use both of them! When I check the key access and recheck my mail, I see the support wikia can't read Vietnamese, so I add these namespace to your talk page:

Can I ask? I have seen pages on Phineas and Ferb Wiki with a namespace Gallery: (in this pages, they add a lot of photos about the show), is this one of namespace, if, it should be Bộ sưu tập:

Some things are not going right. Some mediawikis on my wiki doesn't work to me. Example: MediaWiki:createpage-dialog-message1, I have writen message to it, but when I open pop-up, I don't see my message, but when I change my account to vi, I can see it, why? Another example: MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning, when I write page, I see the copyrightwarning but not mine, when I try changing acount to vi, I have seen mine. Can you explain about that? I want to know about it and can you have any idea for the account vi to en, en to vi? Thanks Dopp.

Banned
I'm fine with the banned as long as you got lupo johns account to. He uses three accounts jayswife, Lupojohn, MarrissaDunn

And after all you will notice each account gets more active as the other fades. They also all have the same I.p adresses.

Excuse me
So i get blocked but he doesn't. Oh alright I'll just make another account on the degrassi wikia. Fuck this shit.

RE: one-month block
I will not push the issue, as you say any further. However, since you took the time to respond to my message, I do have a couple of questions that I would appreciate an answer to:

Is VB blocked? I heard he might be. If so, how long? I want to know this so I don't engage in any more fights with him.

Before Jayswife responded, why did she have to sit there and take all of what he said?

What do you propose I do about the fact that my real-life, non-Internet job is at stake? He got my cell number even after I blocked him, and, if he can do that, he can certainly get the number of my job.

That is all. I hope for us to be friends in the future, and I hope you're not angry at Jayswife. It's important she gets along with everyone. I am looking forward to your responses. Lupojohn 01:13, May 24, 2011 (UTC)Lupojohn

Hahahahha yeah. Anyway I'm fine iwth that as long as both parties are banned ;). Have a nice day

URGENT PROBLEM
I cannot believe you fell for his crap. After all the comments Jayswife sent you, after all the proven facts that were given to you about him, and you believe the lies he tells you. How does he have any proof that Jayswife and me are the same person? And he's just angry about MarissaDunn. You hardly ever see her on. I can't believe you'd be that gullible to fall for it. I wouldn't doubt you knew about his second account, and while you banned him for a year as well, you also let him go on the Degrassi Wiki, set me up, and now got Jayswife banned for the same length of time as me. I'm just in shock someone you would believe him. This is not over. Jayswife would like answers, so kindly respond, so I can tell her what you say. 172.162.197.94 15:30, May 25, 2011 (UTC)Lupojohn

Reply
I hope something is clear for you too, provking my rights from the wiki wasn't really a smart decsion, I haven't got the time to log in so I didn't reply back, I was going to deal with this once and for all, but I was surpriced by your massage. You didn't give me a chance to explain myself I was going to tell you that I am going to make a template called "Attribution" and this template will be added on top of any article that will be copied from any website, and will stat that this article was copied from where, the user will have to put it like this the example.com is the website that the article was copied from. Also I'll make a policy to stat that. Of caurse there is no proof that I will be doing that but I was, I don't have to contribute to the wiki for an extended period of time, then request to become an admin, I have done alot to this wiki already, I made a facebook and a twitter profile for it, I cleaned the contents, was trying to unite gta wikis together, I was looking for a new staff, I put an end to the disputes between users, I put an end to the vandals, I was going to get this wiki back on its feet, just check my contributions and see what I mean, if left or got banned this wiki will go down the drain just like it was starting to before I came. I'll start working on the template but I need some time because I am no every good in coding. As for the Latest News I will change the text to something else but I can't now as it is protected, I request the admin rights again.--WikisEditor 09:57, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Sudden coloration change
On the SpongeBob SquarePants wiki, a lot of the widgets and things in the Wikia skin have suddenly become excessively yellow. Was there a change in the code, and if so, a possible workaround?

 * A bot like pywikipediabot should be able to do that. I haven't used one myself before though, so don't ask me how :P - Tjcool007 (Talk) 19:37, May 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah? So do you know how can I get it?

Have you ever received any "bad" reports on the administration of certain Wikias?
Well, if not, this is the first one. Administrators have reportedly abused their power on several members of this wikia. I am one of them. I personally think it is wrong to edit other people's articles without their permission, and that is what they are doing on several:
 * David-010
 * Halo: Revelation
 * User:Kluutak/David-010

Also, check out this out:

The block was made by Manticore. Reason given: I dislike impersonators, stalkers, and other such fails. Start of block: 13:11, February 17, 2008 Expiry of block: infinite Intended blockee: Dark Energy Block ID: #2566 Current IP address: 68.63.244.238

Banned a friend of mine on Halopedia.

Another example of power abuse: User_talk:Xzan_Tamasee

I'm not asking you to do anything, except at least talk with them. They're not willing to own up to their mistakes as human beings, so if they aren't willing to do it themselves, I'll do it for them. --Kluutak 21:00, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * We try not to intervene in user disputes unless we absolutely have to (otherwise, wikis wouldn't have nearly as much freedom and cultural diversity). I recommend talking to the admins directly (or to other admins on that wiki) in a constructive way to try to reach compromises. You can also create a new wiki on the same subject if you don't think it's being run well and you want to do better. That said, we're aware that we don't offer enough reference or training materials for admins, and we'd like to work to change that. Interested in helping? --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:16, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Dopp, as one community manager to another, I can't in good conscience see you asking him for help in creating reference material for upcoming Administrators. This user has no sense of right or wrong and worst of all, not a hint of respect for his fellow contributors and Wikia as a whole. Just giving you a word of advise on that one comrade. However, I can give good recommendations from the wikis I frequent as to who would be good. Shoot me a message if you are interested! CommanderTony 03:12, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Tony! I'd love to hear what you think are the main skills and strategies a new admin should learn (or who else would be good resources for that subject). --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 15:18, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is an example of "Users complain and Staff hardly listens." Arceus The God of Pokemon 17:07, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't follow you. Dopp constantly asks people for opinions and even made a blog for it. That means she must be interested in listening to others. Why else would she do it? The action taken in the case above may not have been the one the user was hoping for, but does that qualify as "hardly listening"? - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 18:47, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Arceus, you are just being unconstructive. You have been talking negatively about staff   all day. Mr. Grille   (talk page) 19:06, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Administrative how-to guide
Hey Dopp,

Absolutely i'd be interested. I've certainly had some good experiences and lessons as well as bad examples (both my own mistakes and internal/external misgivings) to draw from in order to help out Wikia. I think this would be a really cool idea that could be implemented Wikia-wide as a "welcome" message when one is given their Administrative privileges. If you'd like to hear some of my ideas, I can talk on here or you can talk to me on the various IRC channels (I frequent the #halofanon and #swfanon channels, both wikia-affiliated sites).

However, I must say that I apologize for my responses on this forum thread HERE. If I acted improper in confronting this troubled user about his anger issues concerning Halo Fanon and it's staff, again, I apologize. However, I feel like his actions on Halo Fanon are due partly because we were unable to contain a threat to the peace of our wiki, therefore I felt the need to try to calm him down in a more public setting. If it's alright with you, it is my recommendation that said thread either be locked to prohibit further aggression by the subject, giving him time to calm down or removed from the site entirely. I'll understand completely if you are unable to do so for policy reasons, i'd just like to help your wikia continue to stay relatively peaceful.

Well now that's out of the way, I look forward to conversing with you in the coming days and throwing our ideas back and forth about this New Administrator Guidebook!

Have a great day! CommanderTony 21:02, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
