Beglium
Why did you delete my page as spam that had my initials on it? I am a moderator of this topic.... please do not delete people's pages with initials on them, as that is the class instructions from the professor. —This unsigned comment is by MPollitt (talk • contribs).


 * I presume this is about internationalbusiness.wikia.com, is it not?


 * Well, the pages were reported as spam on Talk:Spam Blacklist by another user and after examining those pages, they indeed looked like spam to me, so I deleted. Three to six letters on a page (especially since most of those pages were created by unregistered users) looked like common spam instead of any meaningful content related to international business. Spam is an annoying problem that can be quite hard to control at times, and Wikia janitors, such as myself, have been tasked with spam removal across Wikia's 5600+ different wikis. I apologize if I accidentally deleted content from the wiki, but I still fail to see how three to six letters are meaningful content. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Major Outbreak of Vandalism on Second Life Wiki
Looks like someone who is doing the PN radier thing... Patriotic Nigra spam on doznes of pages. We really need to have some more administrators created on this wiki... who do I talk to? Lillie Yifu —This unsigned comment is by 68.244.94.204 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with !


 * I've blocked the vandal now. You can talk to the Community Team about more administrators for the wiki. Thankfully Wikia has some very good tools for fighting spam: you can add the URL that the vandal spammed to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist on the Second Life Wikia (requires admin rights). That's the local Spam Blacklist for that wiki. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! Lillie Yifu

Import Flickr Images
Hello again,

I am a sysop at cannabis.wikia.com
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/User:Timeshifter
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

I tried out this new tool:
 * http://inside.wikia.com/wiki/Import_Flickr_Images

I left some questions at the talk page for it, but User:Yukichi deleted them. I don't know why. See
 * http://inside.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=Yukichi
 * http://inside.wikia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Import_Flickr_Images&action=edit

Could my comments there be undeleted? --Timeshifter 08:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Timeshifter, I've restored the talk page. Mistakes might happen with page deletion, as sadly too often people test out the cool new features on the Inside Wikia, which means that it gets a lot of test pages & images that do not belong in the Inside Wikia. Please let me know if you need further help with ImportFreeImages tool or any other feature. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:28, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I started a new section below with some questions I have concerning interwiki links.

Interwiki links
I have some questions about interwiki links. Please see also:
 * w:Help talk:Interwiki link/technical

I have studied the interwiki help pages linked farther down, and learned how to use interwiki links to link to some pages. But there seems to be some inconsistency across Wikia concerning whether interwiki links work.


 * Help:Introduction
 * Help:Interwiki link/technical

Examples:
 * http://inside.wikia.com/wiki/Import_Flickr_Images
 * w:c:inside:Import_Flickr_Images


 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
 * w:c:cannabis:Main Page

But this does not work:

Cannabis:Main Page

Cannabis:Main Page

This last method is recommended here: Help:Introduction

It gives this example:

Creatures:Main Page

Creatures:Main Page

That example works here, but not Cannabis:Main Page

Can this be fixed? --Timeshifter 18:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
