MEDIUM Wiki
Dear Sannse:

Lily Ford here. Awhile ago I was made Administrator of the Medium Wiki and did some tweaks to the Wiki page before taking a break for quite some time. Today I ended up with a Message that my User Rights on the website had been changed. So I visit the Wikia and discover that my IP Adreess has been blocked by a spammer user by name of Wikiwikiwa (who says on my profile, which has destroyed: "MEDIUM WIKI will be better off without you! You have destroyed the purpose of this wiki. I know that the secret plan and that you are a vandal."), so I cannot edit anything that has been changed. I really need some help on how to get my status back on the website and how to get rid of this user. Please Help! Lily Ford 23:44, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Lily, strange goings on... I've restored everything for your account, and asked Dowsiewuwu to explain what's going on. Hopefully s/he can clear it up -- sannse (talk) 01:02, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have a response at the bottom of this page hopefully clearing everything. Oh, and Sannse, there is a conversation between Wikiwikiwa and I on your Medium talk page also maybe to help clear things up.

Thank you, Elisabeth Perry, Dowsiewuwu.

Need template help
Regarding the listen template on Club Penguin Fanon Wiki, I want a play button where the filename is, so one can just click on that and it produces sound but I don't know how to manage it. Any help would be appreciated. Z K 04:42, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, the best place to get template help is the forums... there are lots of experts there :) -- sannse (talk) 21:21, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

no destroy please !

 * Please do not destroy the central wikia's templates can be used in other wikia, I realized that only the central wikia's templates can be used in other wikia, even if in some seems unusable wikia central they may be in other wikia! for info!
 * Please tell what page you are talking about. --Uberfuzzy 10:05, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I believe that the above refers to this message. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  10:07, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

We will tag and keep any that are used on more than one wiki (where we know about it) - so please let us know exactly which ones need keeping. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 21:22, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Hey there, me and my friend just started RS Skills Wiki (http://rss.wikia.com). Please can you either tell me how or make my friend (Yami ash) an admin on our new wiki? Thanks alot!

 * Just goto Special:UserRights on that wiki and put in their name, then click Administrator. -- 20:15, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

From Dowsiewuwu: MEDIUM WIKI
Dowsiewuwu here now: Everything has been cleared up on the Medium wiki. A conversation between User:Wikiwikiwa and I took place on the talk page. That's right. Wikiwikiwa is not my account, but his/er own account. I did not create a second account. Because of an issue with his/er account, we exchanged e-mails, and through that, s/he was able to access anything connected to my e-mail, including my wikia and wikipedia account. I need help getting Wikiwikiwa, as s/he stated on your talk page, off of Wikia. S/He has been blocked and stripped of all rights, except for one. Bureaucrat. That changes everything, and s/he can, I am pretty sure, unblock his/erself and bring back his/er rights. I need your help getting his/er bureaucratic rights away and possibly deactivating, if possible, his/er account. Trust me, I would not intentionally put the Medium Wiki in danger. I would not do the things you stated that I have done on my Medium Wiki talk page. Please forgive me for not offering enough security as an admin, but please know that I care about my wiki and would not do anything to harm the user rights or page of Lily Ford as she has done more for the Medium wiki than that of what I have done. I would not delete the person who took care of my wiki when I founded the wiki and deemed it too hard to deal with and had forgotten about it for months. Anyway, back to Wikiwikiwa. S/he states that the reason he wants to be removed from wiki is because his/er parents grounded him/er and his/er and my e-mail providers caught him/er using hacking software to get access to my e-mail. Please respond here on your central talk page, if you wish.

Thank You and please respond as soon as possible,

--Elisabeth Perry, Dowsiewuwu


 * Hi, please see your talk page there for a question about the current security of your account. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 17:39, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes. My account is now secure. I changed my e-mail password (which I will no longer use to contact any other that wiki staff) and my password on the Wiki. I am secure. Have you figured it out with Wikiwikiwa yet. Did you remove his/er bureaucratic rights so that s/he cannot unblock him/erself, give his/er rights back, and possibly vandalize again?

Elisabeth Perry, Dowsiewuwu 20:44, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

From Dowsiewuwu
Hello. I was wondering. Can you deactivate an account on Wikia? I am thinking about, for security, deactivating my account and using a new account with a possible new e-mail address. Not sure that I want to, but it is a last resort. Elisabeth Perry, Dowsiewuwu 21:01, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, Dowsiewuwu. Have you thought about changing the email you have set on your current profile? - Bluethunder Contact 21:47, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have thought about that, but that is not what I want to do. I want to know if I can deactivate my account. It is not that I exactly want to. I just want to know how to not appear as a user anymore. My user page, my talk page, my entire account. That is what I want to know. If anyone has an answer to this question, please answer.  -Elisabeth Perry, Dowsieuwwu Contact


 * Yes, this account can be disabled. I have just done that to the Wikiwikiwa and Janejansan accounts. I have also blocked this main "Dowsiewuwu" account from all of Wikia.
 * Technical information clearly shows that you have been playing games, and that you have not been honest about what's going on. -- sannse (talk) 01:21, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

No admins online
I'm editing the Global agenda wiki and I'm having trouble trying to stylize and clean things up, well because I'm currently the only one doing it and the Bureaucrats and Admins last edits was in September 2009, and as a regular user i dont have the rights to change some pages. Is it possible to have some limited rights to change a few things, ive already have a draft for what i would like to do to the front page.SN3AKY 22:32, April 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, if there are no admins, the easiest thing to do is adopt the wiki. Even if that's just to make some improvements and not a long-term thing. If there is a community on the wiki, you will need to get their agreement, bu thten there should be no problem. (Don't forget to link to the wiki in your request, we have too many for a discription to be enough!) -- sannse (talk)

castle (tv) wiki
The founder of the Castle Wiki, (the wiki i recently adopted) Daboss has not contributed since april of last year. Should their rights be kept? I don't think that anyone who hasn't edited in a year should be able to have special rights. So really I am asking if you if you could take away their bureaucrat status. if they want to contribute again they could request rights back from me, right? daboss has not really done anything so theyre not really needed with special rights.

please answer on my central page talk page (u can respond here if u want, i'll check!!). KyleKroll 23:38, April 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * reply at User talk:KyleKroll


 * I can understand what you are saying, but I find no need to keep (him/her) as a bureaucrat if they are gone for a year. I would be perfectly fine with giving them their rights back if and when they return. Their last login was February 2010, but did not edit on the wiki at all. This shows that the person obviously has little or no care for editing on the wiki. That is the reason why I want to remove their bureaucrat flag. Once more I would have no problem (¡no problemo!) and would be happy in giving "Daboss's" rights back if they asked, but for now I believe that they should not be a bureaucrat unless they return and request their rights back. And that is what I am asking you to do. please respond asahp (as soon as humanly possible. lol)

Thank you!KyleKroll 23:45, April 19, 2010 (UTC) 23:43, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Toprawa's home
Can you please look up the geographical coordinates of Toprawa and Ralltiir? Thanks! Mr. Wrist Watch 16:26, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

What's New On Wikia & Help
What does it take to get on "New On Wikia" & if there are no requirements, can I have my wiki put on the sidebar. Also, if you or anybody on the team or on Wikia in general watched Disney's One Saturday Morning and i's shows. Would they mind helping me by contributing to the Wiki? Thanks! - There is only One Saturday Morning a week and I'd like to spend it with Doug Funnie, T.J. Detweiler, Pepper Ann, Phineas Flynn, Perry The Platypus, and Jellyroll. But I can't. My name is Planty 17:41, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, the sidebar is something our Content Team chooses, it's not open I'm afraid, but you could apply for a spotlight]. You might want to try asking on the [[Forum:Community Central Forum|forum for help, although it's usually best to talk to people already interested in the subject, on forums for fans for example.  Good luck! -- sannse (talk) 16:18, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Problem
I have an account on Wikia, Star651. The person who globally blocked me, supposedly you, said I was not 13 yet. I was born 1-10-1997, doesn't it say that? And community@wikia.com won't let me E-mail, so clean that up to. Of course, I'm anonymous right now. 68.42.246.27 08:05, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Request
Hello Sannse, Angela recommended I get in touch with you about VSTF, due to all the vandalism I'm seeing across Wikia; specially in the new Q + A sites. The damage to this one alone is quite disastrous. I'm not happy to see that, as I try to be helpful all around Wikia, it would be best if I could take care of it right there as I encounter it. Are there any plans for any new comers to this group? I am currently a manager in Wikianswers and these are my edits. I appreciate your help, thanks! --Liliana (my talk). 01:26, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I started clean-up on Justin-Bieber Answers, hopefully we'll be able to clean it all up. If there is any specific wiki you think we should help clean-up at, please drop us a line. Happy editing, :) Joey (talk) 06:49, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much Joey, that helps a lot. I remember seeing at least 50 vandals attacks throughout the new answers wikis in the last couple of days. I've tagged many of them for deletion, some are deleted by the admins, but some aren't cleared right away. In other wikis (for example) the Spanish Digimon wiki, I marked this for deletion about 2 months ago; and the admin just erased the conflictive article a day or so ago. I'm going to try to send you as many I encounter from now on, however making a list could take a while. --Liliana (my talk). 07:18, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

VSTF
Hey there! I am Bigman602, a friendly user will always help out whenever I can. I would like to join the Spam Task Force, because I want to hlp stop vandalism, spam, and every single thing that makes running a wiki hard. Ijust want to join because want to help bring Wikia close to peace (in other words, I want to stop Vandals and Spammers. Bigman602, The Cool Guy 21:17, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am also interested in this. The current vandalism in the new answers sites is massive and getting out of control. I don't want people who visit to walk away thinking Wikia is a joke site, where there isn't any order. 6 VSTF members can not fight vandalism attacks throughout 100,000 wikis and 2 million members (according to this), the number is absolutely inadequate, they could definitely use some help. --Liliana (my talk). 22:49, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * They can, and do. They have full access to all the global tools staff do. Many of which work on all wikis at once, such as a "All wiki delete" tool. 1 click, thousands of deletes. Thjey can block pagenames, page text, edit summaries, urls, usernames and IPs. While more people would certainly be helpful for when actual hand cleanup is needed, dont discount the power that even one of them has to protect Wikia. The problem on the answers wikis is because of the lowered barriers to entry, namely via the article comments system. We could have 100 vstf, and there would still be those problems. --Uberfuzzy 23:39, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think you realize it but alot of wikis I have been at are terrible. They are inactive, but they are a mess. For example, this user came over to one of my inactive wikis. When I went over there it was a mess. we obviously need more because on alot of the wikis, the current members of VSTF are not coming. We need at least 2 or 3 more members Uberfuzzy. I mean it is madness. Bigman602, The Cool Guy 01:11, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you reporting the problems to the vstf? they have a whole wiki you can let them know where to go. http://vstf.wikia.com --Uberfuzzy 02:46, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also can report live on IRC
 * I can't report it because charitwo keeps banning me on the IRCs. I don't even know what I am doing wrong. I am just on the IRC either helping people or geting help and I can't now. Bigman602, The Cool Guy 04:16, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not just me. Your continued actions on Wikia (mostly a certain wiki) reflect largely on your credibility, then when you get banned locally on a certain unnamed Wikia by a local admin and decide to start to cause problem to that wiki's local IRC channel and then get banned from it in turn leads you to harass the main channel and get yourself in trouble there as well...then you ban evade and harass random ops in PM along with several Wikia staff members to appeal actions done under your own free will. Once you cease using various grievance tactics to try and get around your ban, then we can discuss your appropriate use of the various IRC channels you have previously visited. If you have genuine spam or vandalism to report, you may use this wiki. -- 04:35, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Move to PokerW
I'm only a casual user of this site, but have made some edits to the Microlimit Library wiki, which, as I understand it, has moved to pokerw.com? Only it hasn't as far as I can tell. If there's a way to get the content of theat wiki e-mailed to me (I really just need the collection of links), I'd really appreciate it. Or if you can just link where the new site can be found if it's just a matter of me being unable to locate it.

 * Hi, the page you are looking for is at http://pocketaces.wikia.com/wiki/MicroLimitLibrary (I think?). Let me know if that's not the right one! -- sannse (talk) 18:28, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Could you point me in the right direction?
Hi, I recently created a wiki and was wondering if it possible to apoint "admins" or at least give the "rights" to different users. Ill be watching this page, for ahile, but if you can answer, or show me someone that can answer, i would be gratefull, thanks. Mikeboy52UESP 13:01, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

If the top of your user preferences says you are a bureaucrat, you're fine. Bureaucrats can go to the Special:UserRights page on the wiki, type the username they want to appoint in the box, click go, and see a list of check boxes. Check the ones you can check, like admins, bureaucrats and rollback. 68.42.246.27 16:05, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

May I be an administrator and bureaucrat on bulbapedia.wikia.com because there a tons of vandalism there. User:Duskullbone

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)

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)

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)
