Deletion tips
Hey, saw you're message to Angela in recent changes: if you want to permanently axe bad edits, you could try deleting the page, then restoring only the bad edits, then moving the page to another one like User:Dantman/delete or something, then deleting them there. Then they'll be out of the article history for good.

And by the way, the thing on the top of your talk page is a link to starting a new section in Angela's talk page, not yours. I'm gonna fix it, but revert me if that's like, somehow intentional.  Scott ch  11:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * T_T That wasn't intentional. Though just to note, editing that here won't do much good. The stuff for my userpage is all shared from the Animepedia. The stuff should be edited there so that all my pages are affected when I clone and bot it out. But it's not the edits that I'm trying to kill, it's uploaded pronographic images which need removing from the server. ~Dantman(talk) --Manson 07:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC) tricks Apr 16, 2007 @ 19:17 (UTC)

Bot flags
Is it the Ghost in the Shell Wiki where you want AnimeBot and DantmanAWB to have the bot flag or did you mean something else? Angela talk 19:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Bot
Hi Dantman. I'm not that good at bot-creating things, so if you would create a bot family then it would be nice (: It's on []. The word to be corrected is "Optrædender", and the word there shall be written is "Optrædener". Is it possible for me to do it without your help afterwars, if i discover more wrong words? you can just answer here. - Bakse 16:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Btw, as i said before, i no nothing about bots, so if you need Admin-status on Danish Wookieepedia, then contact me - Bakse 17:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I created a bot family for you. Click the raw link beside the starwars_family file at my Pywikipediabot page. And use Save As or whatever your browser has to save it under the name it shows families/starwars_family.py which of course the families folder is inside of your pywikipediabot setup. Follow the instructions at meta to setup things first. You can use this command (cd to whatever directory the framework is in first)  As you see the in the first "" is the thing to replace, and the second "" has the thing to replace with. -start:! tells it to do every page in the main namespace. If you want another namespace use something like -start:Wookieepedia: depending on what other namespace you want it to run in. You'll also half to ask one of the Community Staff such as Sannse to give an account Bot status then you can tell the Pywikipedia bot framework to use that user to do the work. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 13, 2007 @ 08:10 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your help! I'm really glad that you helped me :) I have asked Sannse, but there could be some places that I don't understand in the bot setup. I'll contact you if there's things i don't understand (: - Bakse 18:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I wrote the whole thing of :)
 * Hi! It's me again. I just can't find out what I'm doing wrong. I have saved the raw file as families_starwars_family.py and made the user-config.py file as the guide said. Then when i open run and type it as the guide says, this message is shown:

Microsoft Windows XP [version 5.1.2600]  Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

(The last part is danish: 'login.py' was not recognized as an internal or external commando, a program or hatchfile.)

Maybe it's just me who is dum at this, but i just can't get it to work (: you can answer here. Don't laugh to much at me :D - Bakse 18:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You're not supposed to try to run a family, that would never work. The framework automatically grabs the family file it needs. Also, it's supposed to be families/starwars_family.py so it's not going to work right. You'll need to save the file under the name starwars_family.py inside the families directory inside the directory you saved the pywikipediabot framework. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 15, 2007 @ 18:40 (UTC)


 * Hmm.. okay. I found out with the directory.. and now i will try to come further (: - Bakse 19:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

JS drop down menu
Hi. I added a monobook javascript to have a language drop down menu here. I didn't write it my self, so I'm not very sure how it works. But I tried to make another one for choosing a range of Occupations from another drop down menu. Would you be able to take a look at it and tell me if I'm on the right path here it is. I tested it and it doesn't seem to work. Again, I have no previews experience with js so I might be making everything wrong. --Steinninn 14:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Turn Your Userpage into a Template?
Hey Dantman, Think you could turn your userpage/talk page into a Template for general use on the WikiSocial Wikia? If you'd like we can talk on MSN or you can leave a message on my Talk page. Doesn't matter which one you use.  Will SWC  01:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The elements used wouldn't really work well to be used. The only reason I do it this way is because I can't edit CSS for what others see on my userpage. If I could, I'd do this in a much different manor. It doesn't work right in other skins, and because there are no skin specific Magic Words I can't fix it up to work right in other skins. This is just a cheep hack, since it's for one wiki it would be best to come up with another method using your Common.css and using Skinname.css to tweak it to work right in all skins. A better way for the skins to be viewed would be if Wikia had an improved version of the UserStyles Extension installed. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) tricks Jul 28, 2007 @ 04:52 (UTC)

Framing in Skin
Can you please help me with something? Why is it that this template is unframed on the main page when using the skin QuartzSlate? ―  T hailog  19:28, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Addendum: This seems to happen too with this template on pages like this ―  T  hailog  20:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

It's because of the CSS you're using. The Main Page one for some reason is using CSS to be moved upwards for some stupid reason which is not needed. You can fix that one by removing the absolute positioning and using the old per-page css to hide the title bar on that page to get the same effect. The issue with the titleicons is due to how both MonoBook and Quartz have two different positioning, the way to fix that is to move the positioning css for the titleicons into the Common.css and add extra css to the quartz skins to fix the positioning. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Oct 13, 2007 @ 03:14 (UTC)

Impartial mediator for cross-wiki issues
Mediation is an important part of any wiki's development. However, I believe it is best if the wiki themselves set up a mediation process rather than have an outsider intervene. It's quite easy for wikis to adopt a process like Wikipedia's Mediation Cabal where users on a wiki simply help out others on their wiki. Angela (talk) 04:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I think people are coming to central because they want what they perceive to be some "higher authority" to solve their problems for them. This isn't good for community development when they need to instead set up their own processes for dealing with these issues. I think a user group focused on the creation of mediation committees on wikis with problems would be better than trying to actually be their mediator. We have the same problem at Wikipedia with people emailing the board of trustees with their disputes. Angela (talk) 23:45, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

There is no one in the yu-gi-oh-duels channel.

I've written the specification, as I've said, and I know want to create it. Could you please tell me how? Thanks! Darth tom Chit 'n' Chat 15:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

collapsible text
Hello, I believe you are the author of the bot which created the template: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Template:IBox. I'm wondering if there's any way I could have some collapsible text in my wikia: shaiya.wikia.com. If you would help me with this it would be very much appreciated. Please reply on my talk page.

 * Thank you for your prompt reply. I took a look at http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Dynamic_navigation and before I confuse myself to death, I'd appreciate some clarifications.  Do I need to edit http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js to have the code under "In your MediaWiki:Common.js" and edit http://shaiya.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css to have the code under "In your MediaWiki:Common.css"?  If so, I can't do that since I don't have admin rights.  Need I request the local admin to do so?  Can I just edit it onto a different page?


 * Then, once I have those pages to include the needed code, I can just put:

Title
 * Anywhere on the shaiya.wikia site to get:

Title


 * ? Nicolasjager 17:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, you will need to have a local sysop add that to the MediaWiki pages, or have someone promote you to sysop. Non-sysops cannot edit interface messages and site css/js for security reasons. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Apr 3, 2008 @ 08:10 (UTC)


 * I've been trying to get this to work. I need Help Majorly. I like the to be at eWrestling Encyclopedia, Soap Opera, and Roller Derby Wikia. Please help. Sundogs user talk 20:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

CSS question
Hey Daniel, thanks for responding in the "no-break space" thread on bugzilla. I've got a CSS question, can't find the answer online, and I remembered you know this stuff. I want to put invisible tags into WP:MoS archives to let people link to particular lines. I also would prefer to include keywords (invisible in the text) at the same place; do you have a recommendation for how to do this? Would screw up anyone's display? I like prefixing semicolons in a long text file to give me a quick way to search for keywords. Could you reply on my Wikipedia user page please?   - Dan Dank55 21:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC) P.S. Do you know if Wikia Search is far enough along that they would prefer that I use a particular style of keyword to aid their searching?

Hey
Hey Dantman, when are you returning to the Kirby wiki. it's been lonley there. if you aren't returning, do you know if a staff member is. just wondering Bob The Geomancer 21:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I only helped out the wiki a bit. My goals were overall different than that of the community at the wiki and I never really became a member there. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Apr 29, 2008 @ 00:05 (UTC)

oh sannse told me you were the beuracrat there who is the beuracrat there Bob The Geomancer 12:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ya, I have bureaucrat... But just cause I was helping out. Take a look at the bureaucrats yourself. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Apr 29, 2008 @ 23:47 (UTC)

how active is he? Bob The Geomancer 02:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No clue, just look at his contributions page to see when he was last active. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) May 1, 2008 @ 19:51 (UTC)

he hasn't edited in while. i want to keep the wiki running Bob The Geomancer 19:12, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Then talk to staff. You can always adopt the wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) May 4, 2008 @ 01:08 (UTC)
 * He talked to staff, who told him to talk to the active beaurocrat ;) but he seems to be having trouble saying that outright :) -- sannse (talk) 09:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Bob The Geomancer 23:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiSwitch and Other Stuff
Dantman, I was wondering if you could help me with the WikiSwitch/Tab Changer/Stress and Status Changer and stuff like that. I think it would very useful. I've tried to do it, but I'm a beginner, so it is a bit hard for me to understand and get it working. If you can help me, please leave me a message at my main user talk page (click the word Link in my sig to get there). <<<font color="#270fde"> UDK >>-<<<font color="#197b09"> Talk >>-<<<font color="#b72415"> Contribs >>-<<<font color="#f3c53a"> YCM >>
 * Sorry, I haven't worked on JS stuff in quite awhile. For the most part just take a look at my global.js and global.config.js. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jun 23, 2008 @ 01:45 (UTC)

I don't want to be a bother to you
I know that I have change two photos on rock lee's page and you might not like it and i understand that. But i thought those two pics i choose look better that the ones before so i change them. i didn't mean to do it so i have an idea let's put the four photos on the same page and reply as soon as you can. - Onua Nuva

Scary help transclusion
Hi Dantman, perhaps you can give me a hint... right now German help pages are kept on de.wikia. This is a bit impractical because articles can't easily link via interlanguage links to english help articles (because they sit on help.wikia and not on central). I don't know how scary help transclusion will work in the future. I think there are two possibilities: From the users point of view I would strongly prefer to set up hilfe.wikia.com (and let de.help.wikia.com redirect to this address). Will this work? Can I set it up and move the German help content there? Or is there no easy answer to this right now? --Avatar 07:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) help.wikia.com/wiki/xyz/de
 * 2) de.help.wikia.com/wiki/xyz


 * Thanks for your answer. To be a bit more clear about the issue: Our wish is to link the German help pages to their english counterparts. It would be great if we can set up a wiki names hilfe.wikia.com for this (it would be the typical approach users would assume). But I haven't done so yet, because I heard the scary help transclusion (= transclusion of the help pages into every wiki) is still in the works and you know something about it and I'm not sure if it will work with German help when setting it up this way :-).
 * I think the problem of the help.wikia.com/wiki/xyz/de solution is, that e.g. http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Customizing_Monaco/de does not include the German name "Anpassung des Monaco-Skins" in the URL which might be better for SEO reasons and for a search inside the help pages. Of course I'm able to create http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Hilfe:Anpassung_des_Monaco-Skins which just redirects to http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Customizing_Monaco/de. I'm just trying to find out the best solution. --Avatar 08:08, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

AWB checkpage
Hello! I'm Sakarie, with my base on the Swedish Harry Potter-wiki. I'm just wondering if you want to take a look at Wikia talk:AWB/CheckPage, where I've made an application. Thank you :) Sakarie 15:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikia YAHOO Tools bug
There's a bug on YAHOO.tools on Wikia (the JavaScript code loaded on every page, inside the allinone.js) Inside YAHOO.Tools.makeChildren there's a reference to YAHOO.Tools.makeTxtObject, but the real name of the function is YAHOO.Tools.makeTextObject. Now, using YAHOO.Tools.makeChildren passing text arguments gives error.

It seems like you have commit access to the wikia code, so maybe you could fix it. Techs are busy. Thanks. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:32, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * ^_^ I think I have commit (don't know if crucially put my SSH in yet), but no-one knows how to checkout a private copy of the repo under their auth so they can commit. Heh, that... and I have no clue where the code to edit is... I've only used the releases, which aren't the places to edit. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Aug 1, 2008 @ 03:45 (UTC)

Blocking help
Hi, you probably remember me from Narutopedia. Anyway, since early July, I've acted as an administrator over at Avatar Wikia with no problems. Recently, a user has started disrupting the good work of the wikia, mainly via bugging anyone and asking to be an administrator. Said user was blocked, but for some reason, he was still able to edit his own user talk page. Are blocks supposed to let this happen or is there a glitch? He's not editing the page anymore cause he was advertising a duplicate wikia, and because of that his talk page was protected. To counter that, he has made a new account. Is there anyway to see the IPs a user has posted from, even if logged in, or anyway to "watch" accounts or IPs much like pages? I took a look at admin related pages in the Wikia and I couldn't find anything about that. Please reply at my talk page at the central wikia. Thanks for your help. Omnibender - Talk 22:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Well it's pretty obvious it is the same user, but where do I request that CheckUser? Here? And what does it do exactly? All I need is to be able to track the IPs he acts from so I can block them. Omnibender - Talk 22:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Genealogy bot work
Dear Dan, I enjoy skimming and sometimes even carefully even reading your contributions to Wikia-l. (Though your confusion of "its" and "it's" irritates; "its" is the possessive - like "theirs" and "ours" and "hers" - whereas "it's" is an abbreviation of "it is" or "it has"- like "he's" and "I'm".)

We had great service from Genealogy:User:PhloxBot while it was active late last year and briefly into this year, but it's not expected back until after a certain Presidential election 8 weeks away, if ever. We now have Genealogy:User:AMK152Bot, which seems to be able to do much less, though said to be on the same pywikipediabot basis. With your bot expertise, it seems to me that you might be able to have a quick look at some of the relevant discussions and point User:AMK152 in the right direction for doing some of the slightly more complex but very useful tasks that PhloxBot was doing (such as adding a common piece of text to a bunch of defined pages, or converting every link on a page to a clever "if exist" template). Representative discussions are at -

 * http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Robin_Patterson#Bots
 * http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Template_talk:Wp

Please say if this seems to go beyond what you have time for. By the way, why does this overlap the row of buttons above the edit box?) Robin Patterson 06:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply to the first point. Robin Patterson 12:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Question about hiliteing usernames
Hi! I posted a topic on the forums asking about adding hiliteing to usernames of sysops and bcrats in the recent changes, page history, and logs. One persons response suggested you as a good person to contact. Is there any advice you can give me? I have created a MediaWiki:Common.css/hilite page, but this has done nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! --Aburnett001 21:14, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've moved it all here and made your suggested changes, but it still doesn't seem to be working. Any other hints? --Aburnett001 21:26, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, Thanks for all your help! --Aburnett001 22:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
