Italian IP blocked
Hi, on 27 August, on English Uncyclopedia, a lot of Italian IP addresses have been blocked by "Hinoa", as "(infinite, account creation blocked) (Rangeblock for Italian vandal)". These are the dynamic addresses by the main Italian internet provider, and hence the block affects me and most legitimate Italian users. Can this block be removed?

I'm "laurusnobilis" and "qscgu9-bot" on English Uncyclopedia; write me at "laurusnobilis" on Italian Uncyclopedia.


 * Hi, there have been a lot of problems from that range, enough to make a block needed for a while. The ranges were checked for other users, and there are few.  Your IPs are usually outside that range, so if you just reconnect you should be assigned another IP and be OK to edit.  Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm afraid one of your neighbours is making this rather drastic step necessary. -- sannse (talk) 11:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, in the past, I was using a different internet provider. With the provider that I'm using now (the main Italian one), I'm always blocked. (It seems to to me better to discuss the topic here, hopefully without some people that wrote on my talk page on Italian Uncyclopedia.) Laurusnobilis 08:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what to suggest here, the problem from the vandal is real and persistent. Hinoa had to make a choice on what would be best for the wiki, and cause the least disruption to the fewest people.  I'm sorry you were caught up in that.  Perhaps you could discuss it with him and see if you can work out a solution -- sannse (talk) 14:37, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Admin Request
Hi Sannse could you make me an admin on the Bourne Wiki because not only are there no active admins there but there are no users full stop and i would like to get it going quickly.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 16:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, the wiki isn't a month old yet, so perhaps the founder just hasn't had time to get going on it. Why don't you mail him and see what's going on with the wiki?  The "email this user link" will work if your email is confirmed.  In the mean time, edit away! and if he doesn't return in a month or so, we can look again at you adopting.  Have fun! -- sannse (talk) 09:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

I've made a reply for your comment in my request "stopwithear". Please let me know for next steps.

Hi, we're seeing some new activity that looks rather promising. One the folks involved has already developed a new logo for the wiki, WikiaAstronomyLogo.png. Unfortunately Joseph doesn't seem to have been around since the middle of June, leaving the wiki without an admin. I was wondering if you could pop the logo in for them. --Kirk 00:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Kirk, I've uploaded the logo. What about new admins there?  Seems a good idea with the increased activity...  -- sannse (talk) 20:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Right now, I would say that the best candidate would be User:Leesonma. He's not too experienced with wiki's yet, but he is the teacher for the group that has shown up. Apparently they are a group of seniors in Louisiana. You can put me in as a backup if you think it might be a good idea.--Kirk 21:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Great, I've given you both access, and left a message for Leesonma. Thanks for letting me know, and for all you do on the wikis!  Regards -- sannse (talk) 22:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

http://fanon.wikia.com
Hello Sannse. I recently sent an e-mail to the Wikia staff but I am unsure if it was sent, due to computer issues. Here is the exact message, and I ask if you can please take you time to read it. Thank you.


 * Hello, Wikia staff. I am writing this on my own behalf, for the fanon wiki. I have recently discussed the issues of lack of administration at the Fanon Wiki, since the Bureaucrat/founder, Brain40, abandoned it long ago. Since then, no proper administration has been able to carry out the duties of a sysop, leaving a lot of articles sitting there for deletion and lack of the ability to block vandals.


 * My sister and I are the ones who discussed these issues. She goes by the user name "Anime Fan" and I by "Squishy Vic", as you may or may not already know. Anyway, I am requesting adminship for the Fanon Wiki to be able to handle the administrative issues appropriately and correctly. I have recently had a lot more interest in expanding my wiki experience. I have been an active member of Star Wars Fanon Wiki, not to be confused with the generic Fanon Wiki I am writing to you about, and I became an administrator in April and a Bureaucrat in June. I am telling you this to show you that I do have the ability to carry out the duties of an administrator. I am also the founder of the "Trapped in the Closet" wiki, which was recently created and I am working on. I also founded the Spanish SWFanon wiki, which is still under a lot of construction as well.


 * ''Please fulfill my request, because I wish to contribute a lot to this wiki and expand as I said earlier. I want the chance to get some order around the Fanon Wiki.

''
 * Thank you,


 * Victor

Admin

 * So, this is where I should say "thank you"? I hope that's what you were getting at.  I'm not sure if I deserve Admin status, but I do appreciate it, and I'll figure out what I can do with it ASAP.

Peru Earthquake
Hi Sannse: User:Mentor posted a question about his wiki's page on Talk:Education wikis. I'm not sure how to answer it, so I wanted to make sure somebody else saw it. I hope you can help him out. Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 08:33, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Danny, I've answered there asking for a screenshot -- sannse (talk) 14:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Screenshot of Peru Earthquake page


Thanks, Sannse. Hope this is what was needed. Paul Goulder


 * Thanks Paul, yes that was what I needed. The problem is your screen size/resolution.  There just isn't enough room for the image, url, and box.  It looks like you have an unusually small screen or low resolution?  I'm not sure what the best solution is, I suspect you will see this sort of thing quite a bit around the site -- sannse (talk) 18:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

New Wiki formulation
I am interested in launching a new wiki that would be targeted to practitioners of the Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) Industry. By some estimates, the prospective user group would be in excess of 400.000. We would propose to use the Convention Industry Council's Accepted Practices Exchange content to develop a taxonomy for the wiki. We expect active participation from practioners within the industry as well as educators and scholars within the various well known hotel, restaurant and hospitality graduate schools.

Questions: 1- is the concept better suited as its own hub or subcategory  to "Travel" which seems to be the only relevant existing hub? 2- is there any control that we can exercise over the extent to which and nature of advertising that is run over the wiki? 3- is there paid hosting available with in the Wikia complex? Thanks in advance for your kind attention.


 * Hi. I think travel will be the best hub, but the wiki could also be in other categories such as Category:Events and meetings.


 * The advertising is Wikia's area, but we are able to listen to any problems you have with the ads, and remove those that are a problem for a community (for example, we block 'gold' selling sites on some game wikis)


 * We don't currently have paid hosting packages within Wikia, sorry.


 * Hope that's helped! -- sannse (talk) 20:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Scanner
Hi Sannse, is your scanner still not fixed? Don't mean to sound pushy... Thanks, --H*bad (talk) 23:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi H*bad. The scanner is still broken, and worse, I'm in the US and the autograph is in the UK!  But I think Jimbo is going to be in the office sometime next week, so I can try again and use the office scanner this time.  I'm sorry this is so awkward!

Monobook skin
Hi Sannse, my wiki, it seems, is viewed by default in the new skin tone. I was wondering if there was a way to make simcity.wikia.com in the the monotone (or classic) skin tone by default, and let people go into the new one if they want? I really think the monotone look is more appropriate for the wiki layout and will attract more visitors (whom may not realize they can easily switch to the monotone skin & leave it once an account is made). Or if perhaps I could make a note like "best when viewed in monotone skin, click here" notice at the top of the mainpage that only certain visitors (people who are using the new skin tone) will see? Thanks for any designing help! Jelx 17:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Jelx. Wikia as a whole is switching to the new skin as a default (except for Uncyclopedia, which is a parody and so needs to look like Wikipedia).  What we hope is that this will give a consistent look, with customisations for each wiki, and allow us to offer new features like the widgets.  We don't want admins to switch back to monobook and take away the newbie friendly look and new features, although they can choose their own view of course.  But the new skin is going to offer a lot of choices.  The next version (out soon) has five colour variations, plus a version to customise yourself.  Have a look at Wookieepedia to see the sort of thing that can be done.  So I hope you will bear with us, and see what comes with the next release.  -- sannse (talk) 21:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

New Wiki Formulation 2
As we are considering launching a wiki targetted to a global community of prospective users, we are struggling with the question as to whether there is merit in launching it with the Wikia community in the hopes of finding a more robust adhoc development community with which to exchange ideas and solutions. I'm interested to know what happens at such time that we should determine that we want to migrate to an independently hosted site. We are committed to mediawiki and would in all likelihood migrate to a hosted solution. What is the procedure with respect to deleting the content in the wiki that was created (hypothetically) at Wikia?


 * All content on Wikia is licensed under a free licence (generally the GFDL). This means that any community that wishes to move off Wikia can do so, taking a copy of the content with them.  We provide regular database dumps of the content for backups and copies.  However, if a community moves we generally do not close the wiki.  The content can stay and be a starting point for any other contributors who want to take up that subject and start a new community around it.  So it's clearer to say that we allow any community to 'fork' the content, rather than to move it. -- sannse (talk) 18:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Block-avoiding vandal (?)
Over at |Wiki24, a vandal has somehow gotten around a block. Please, I need help ensuring that this person is 'actually' banned. My abilities as admin don't seem to be doing the job, and I'm unsure as to where else to turn. Blue Rook 01:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The vandal's contribs are here,, and he definitely has some crack to avoid my sysop ban/block. Please check the "Latest Intel" recent changes page to confirm that he keeps re-creating his user page after we delete it. Shouldn't that be totally impossible? Blue Rook 14:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. Banned users can edit their own talk page, so that they can communicate with admins to discuss the block.  If that becomes a problem then the page can be protected (which I've done in this case).  If it becomes a bigger problem, then we can turn that access off :)  But generally, it's a useful way of allowing communication.  Let me know if there is still a problem.  -- sannse (talk) 18:08, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I had absolutely no idea that could happen, but upon hearing your explanation, it definitely makes sense. (I really should have known.) Being ignorant of that, I was just freaking out that the old Pelican crap vandal had targeted our little wiki and my hands were tied. I really appreciate the help, Sannse! Blue Rook 20:11, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem! -- sannse (talk) 20:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

IRC Channels for CGI

Having trouble understanding skin customisation
Hi - In the skin section of my preferences I don't see what it is shown in this graphic: http://inside.wikia.com/wiki/Quartz_Skin_Customization#Setting_a_Default_Color_Theme I just have a list of themes with radio buttons. For this new wiki: http://chainsofreason.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Basically, I want to change the colours to go better with the logo and I don't know any CSS, HTML, etc.. Please reply here, thanks. Derrick Farnell 06:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, the stuff on Inside is being written ready for the release of that new skin chooser. I hope it's going to be out very soon.  In the mean time, I would suggest waiting, and I'll be glad to give you some help with choosing a skin or making your own with the "custom" option as soon as it's on :) You have come along right in the middle of the changeover I'm afraid! -- sannse (talk) 17:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay - thanks! 89.241.234.95 17:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Forgot to login. Is notification of such updates always done via the mailing list? Derrick Farnell 17:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * They tend to be on a few places, the mailing list, Inside.wikia, and the Central forums. We really need to tidy that up and have one place :-/ -- sannse (talk) 19:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I know how to do CSS but how do you do it on your Wiki? Is that the quarts custom thing? --Bucketruck 01:39, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. I figured out how to customize it. I went into http://gamemods.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css

and added code but it didn't change. Help?--Bucketruck 02:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You need to match the name of the css page with the name of the skin on your wiki. See http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Quartzslate.css for an extreme example of this sort of customisation.  When the skin chooser comes on line, the it will be Mediawiki:Quartzcustom.css for the editable version. -- sannse (talk) 19:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

How to edit links next to logo?
Hi - I know that you can add four links to the top of the page, next to the default four links to the right of the logo, but can you edit those default links? To be clear, I'm not just wanting to edit the text, but also the page the text links to. Someone in live help insisted that the answer is to make changes to the relevant section of allmessages, but I can't find anything in there when I search for the text of the default links - at least, no instances of that text which are in the form of a link. Any ideas? Please could you answer on my talk page, thanks. Derrick Farnell 11:40, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone else in live chat told me that this area of the interface is a 'wikia area', like the links at the bottom of the page. Are you able to edit those links for me? While I can of course understand why we are not able to edit the links at the bottom, it seems a bit odd that we can't edit the links at the top, given that they are, unlike the links at the bottom, part of the wiki. Derrick Farnell 07:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, The four links are currently fixed. I'm not sure they will stay that way, but the idea was to ensure that newbies could find four important pages whichever wiki they were on.  But you can add four more links alongside that.  See http://inside.wikia.com/wiki/Quartz_Skin_Customization#Add_Custom_Links_to_the_Top_Nav for how to do this -- sannse (talk) 19:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Table Backgrounds
I'm the Admin of Wiki NASCAR and have been working with some of those cool templates from Wikipedia that can show or hide their contents. I transferred the technology to some of my pages as a Beta and it's working wonderfully.

My question is what lines can I insert to change the overall background color of the table. For example, if you go to the 2006 Emerson Radio 250 page, and click on "Show" for the Results, the overall background color is still gray, which I don't much like at all. I want the whole background to be white.

Could you pull your heads together to help me with this. Much appreciated --DaNASCAT 13:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm not so good at this sort js. and for some reason can't even see the table correctly. I think your best bet is to either ask other contributors in the forums, or ask Splarka... he's good with js. -- sannse (talk) 16:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Depends on what you want to do and how you want it to do, if you just want that hide thing then do this
 * Substitute:
 * for this in the desired table that way you will assign the content the white bacground:
 * Tip:
 * will affect the full box. and  will affect only the header
 * Note:
 * remember that tables are sometimes independent from the div boxes so you may have to add there also the background if you want everything to match.
 * Now if you want something more permanent then review what you did by checking [this page] where there are instructions of installation for dynamic navigation, also you will add css on the MediaWiki:Common.css file where things will be more permant
 * --Cizagna (Talk) 16:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion for instructions
Hi - I'm in the process of setting-up a new wiki and uploaded the logo with the filename wiki_wide.png. However, I've just noticed that when I view my wiki using the monobook template, I don't see my logo. I fixed this my uploading a square version of my logo with the filename wiki.png. Perhaps I missed it, but I don't think it states in the instructions for setting-up a new wiki that you need to upload two versions of the logo. If I'm right, then I think this should be added - I get the impression that a lot of the people who registered before the new template came out still have their preference set to monobook. Please reply on my talk page, thanks. Best :— Derrick Farnell ( talk ) 19:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

ACG Wiki
Afker has been poking me repeatedly to solve the problem of confusion between ACG and Animepedia policies by moving Wikia ACG Polices to a more identifiably separate location. I'm also starting to think that things might not hold out to well for much longer if the project doesn't make the move sooner instead of later.

As shown at the Wikia ACG page, there are already 11 wiki in the project. And also the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki is now joining. Which basically now means that a wiki larger than the rest of the project together is joining. Not to mention that having lots of anime stuff in the ACG section of the sidebar doesn't work out to well on the wiki like AliceSoft or even Yu-Gi-Oh! Which have a large gaming area. So me and Afker thought of instead of having the 4 top-level media wiki in the sidebar with lists, just have the link to the main ACG wiki and it's Forum/IRC/Mailinglist and let people find the rest of the project from there.

So if we could, having the wiki created now would be good. Mostly it would be used for: Basically it was always planned as a central resource.
 * Wikia ACG Stuff
 * Policy pages
 * The actual project page
 * Project terminology
 * Help pages for things like the ACG Worlds, Tech pages, and other things used on the top-level wiki.
 * Templates and code which is shared out everywhere.
 * ACG Stuff
 * Definitions on things like Anime, Manga, etc...
 * Genre pages and information on common aspects in Animanga styling and Cartoon-Comic styling.
 * Company pages for the companies making the series.
 * Pages for the Authors and Voice Actors
 * Lists and indexes for worlds and series linking to the other wiki. (ie: Naruto would link out to Animepedia for anime information, Manga information on the wikia about manga when in the project, and also the Narutopedia for detailed information)

The plan is to use this for the wiki's info:
 * Name (url):  (http://acg.wikia.com)
 * Project namespace/Sitename: :
 * Wiki language:  (English)
 * Interwiki:  :...] (I explained it before but it is a bit technical, there is an extension being worked on to allow for much easier linking all over wikia, but that generalized linking needs an interwiki in the map to work, w:c:... won't work for that system; But I can handle the link itself)

And the Wiki's info page would be at ACG with a redirect from acg.

When it is created, could I have the Mailing list password so I can set that up. I'll half to wait for forums though... ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 25, 2007 @ 23:14 (UTC)


 * I think a good space for organising the project would be the projects wikia. That's available for any project, and it will be easy to organise the test.  For the other part, the detailed content, I feel this is a split of existing wikis (with some other content thrown in).  This is really a combination of the Anime and Manga wikis, plus a bit of content common to both and other wikis.  So why not explore the idea of a merge of Anime and Manga instead?  I think that would be more viable than another wiki, and the name could be made more generic and less obscure than ACG too.  http:animanga.wikia.com/ "Anima & Manga wiki"? -- sannse (talk) 18:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Organizing how? It's not really a combination of just Anime and Manga. It's for things common to everything in the project; Anime, Manga, Cartoons, Comics, etc...
 * You'd have to merge all of them together if you were to merge things but they all don't fit that way, there are things common to them but you can't put them all together in all cases. And even if you decided to merge into a Anime and Manga wiki, and a Cartoons and Comics wiki then the project still does not have a central wiki. The project is using the Animepedia for that purpose at the moment because the people wanting to do Manga, Cartoons, and Comics haven't poked and said anything yet. But the wiki can't be used that way for all the phases of the project, once the project moves up a phase where there are two or more top-level wiki then none of them can identifiably be the central area of the project (I doubt a cartoons wiki would like being 2nd generation in a tree with anime as the 1st generation) and without a central area there is no place to put the stuff that all the areas share.
 * The project's reasons for existing are: Navigation (Making it easy for people to navigate from a focused wiki to a general one and find another similar focused wiki they want to go to), Not repeating the same things (Instead of having every wiki define what Anime is or what a Cartoon is, define it in a central location where everyone from all the projects can work on it together), and globally shared things (Many templates and various scripts are done over and over in these kind of wiki, and it takes time to come up with them and may never be done as well as it's done elsewhere; So instead we put all of that in a central location common to all the wiki, and share it out to all the other wiki and let everyone work on it together so they don't half to repeat all the work). ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Oct 4, 2007 @ 19:17 (UTC)


 * I think by "Organizational" it means the "Wikia ACG" stuff, put those on projects.wikia. Then the "ACG" stuff will go on "animanga.wikia". -Afker 04:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, things to organise the project can go on projects. I don't see a need for a wiki for "anime, manga, cartoons, and comics", that doesn't feel like a good topic for a wiki. -- sannse (talk) 18:10, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Ya, a combined wiki on all of them isn't needed. But defining Anime, Manga, Sci-fi, etc... In 2 or 4 different places is redundant. Which is why the point of the wiki is not to be a combination of all the wiki, but to be a place to put things common to the various wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Oct 6, 2007 @ 02:37 (UTC)

Also, as I noted the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki is joining. TwoTailedFox already gave AnimeBotSys the Sysop powers, but AnimeBot needs the Bot flag. ^_^ Otherwise the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki's Recent Changes page will look like swiss cheese. Since it's a large community and you'll probably want confirmation. w:c:yugioh:Yu-Gi-Oh!:Community Portal. It's been up there for an entire week, TwoTailedFox put a note on the Main Page and made notes on a bunch of people's talk pages, and I put it in the Sitenotice. TwoTailedFox (the founder) is ok with it and as seen there knows about it, and the two active admins who come into the wiki's IRC are ok. No-ones posted objection, and the only person confused had more explanation given to him off page.

^_^ plus even if someone notes concern on the page before the joining happens, I'm still helping them improve their own templates which will require a good deal of bot work to fix things. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 25, 2007 @ 23:14 (UTC)

Layout problem with new skin
Hi - I've posted this problem in the Inside forum, but it doesn't seem to be a very busy forum at the moment, and I was wondering if you could do anything yourself. It seems to be the case that, with the new skin, the 'top content' box always appears for those who are not logged-in to the wiki I've just started (http://chainsofreason.wikia.com/wiki/Home). The presence of this box, along with the ad box, means that the navigation box is quite far down the screen - indeed, it is actually off the screen on my laptop when the ad box is square-shaped (as opposed to when it is a not-so-high oblong shape when displaying 'Wikia Spotlight' ads). Is it possible to have this 'top content' box not show, or at least show below the navigation box? Please reply on my talk page, thanks. Derrick Farnell ( talk ) 18:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

RS Wiki sysop
Hi. There is a certain sysop on the RuneScape Wiki who has been behaving very inappropriately lately. Dreadnought has always been "the mean admin", but lately he's been making personal attacks and abusing his powers in general. A while ago, he attacked Whiplash here and called Gangsterls an idiot here. I tried to act appropriately by blocking him for a day according to policies, but he responded with fury by unblocking himself and blocking me here. I warned him that he was on his last toenail here, but he later persisted here. I do not think this is acceptable behaviour. I think that he should be desysopped semipermanently until he completes a successful RFA. Please respond on my RS Wiki talk page. Thank you. Dtm142 04:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi sannse,

What do you think about setting this channel +q? This sends any messages to anyone currently opped, even though the channel is moderated.

 * I'm not really involved in that channel much... I think Tom generally looks after it, beat ask him -- sannse (talk) 17:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Unescesairy protection
Hi, i think the main page of this [wiki] should not be protected like that. I've discovered it was because i wanted to put on it. Thanks in advance for the help. TulipVorlax 10:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Can i ask why the subst doesn't work there : ? TulipVorlax 10:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've unprotected those pages, let me know if you need others done. I'm not sure what's wrong on fr.finalfantasy, I'll report that as a bug -- sannse (talk) 22:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
