Promotion of 2 wikias and lost password to mailing lists
Hello,

Sorry to leave this message, but, I lost my password to the mailing list page and the administrator's page as well. How do I retrieve this? Secondly, I like to promote Soap Opera and Roller Derby wikias on wikipedia. Is this allowed? If not, you should think about The Sims Wikia is promoted on the wikipedia site. Thanks for your help. Sundogs user talk 19:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * For the mailing list, you just need to go to http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/list-name (replacing "list-name) to go to the right list) and then scroll to the bottom. There is a place there to enter your email address and recover your password.  I don't know what page you mean by "the administrator's page", but if you mean for the mailing list, and your password doesn't work when you recover it, I can reset it for you.
 * On Wikipedia, they tend not to like people using their site for anything they regard as promotion... so you should be very careful what you add there. You should be sure that you are adding links to useful content and more information, rather than just links that don't really add anything to the article.  Have a look though their policies first, and then be careful to follow them.  That should help -- sannse (talk) 12:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I meant the administrators interface page and that's why I called it the administrators page. I don't see the recover password section that you were talking about. Am I missing something? Sundogs user talk 14:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * What list is it that you are looking for? There doesn't seem to be one for soaps or ewrestling.  The link should be on the bottom of the info page.  I can check what's going on more clearly with the name of the list though :) -- sannse (talk) 10:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Liberapedia
I can't patrol Liberapedia at the moment. My computer slows every time I try to access it. I don't know what's wrong. With sites outside Wikia the computer functions normally. Proxima Centauri 19:01, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what's going on here, there isn't enough information for me to know what's wrong. Did you change anything on your computer?  Or any of the css/js pages on the wiki? I've not heard of this happening to anyone else, so it may be something your end -- sannse (talk) 13:07, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Necyklopedie needs your assistance
Hi, Sannse, Szoferka told me you could help us.

We have had some inactive Sysops and Bureaucrats (Imperatori) at Necyklopedie, whose Sysop and/or Bureaucrat rights we need to take away (call off). These are:


 * Aktron
 * KluSi
 * Svišť
 * Zanatic

The discussion about the issue is here: Neaktivní správci. Aktron has agreed here: Zanatic has agreed here: Svišť and KluSi reacted here: Neither of them have been active for a very long time.

What we need from you: As none of the present Sysops and Bureaucrats have the right to call off the right of another Sysop and/or Breaucrat, we have to aske you or some of your colleagues: Either take their Sysop and Bureaucrat rights off, or assign an Bureaucratof Necyklopedie the rights do handle this Group of users (i.e. assigning and seizing the Sysop and Bureaucrat rights).

Thank you for your assistance.--Zylbrsztajn 22:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

deadminship
Hello, Sannse. This is Bluerfn, a sysop from the Square Wikia. Some months ago I requested the deadminship of User:Hexedmagica. Today, I would like to see it done. Furthermore, I left the wikia inactive for awhile now, and am only now going to start working on it. So, if you would kindly please deadmin the user. I doubt he will care even I ask him about the matter. Bluer 14:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Bluer, this is done -- sannse (talk) 11:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

My Bot stopped functioning
Hallo. I wrote http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Manticore#My_robot --Ervinpospisil 18:59, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I don't know anything about bots. Possible someone on the forum can help? -- sannse (talk) 11:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

help!!!!
we have an emergency in eincyclopedia! recently the article god has been featured and one of our users got angry (hes a religious Jew) and then he opened a society against the article. eventually he stopped after he was explained that there was nothing he can do (he wanted to sue eincyclopedia) but now we have a bigger problem: one of our sysop, also a religious Jew, got angry as well and started blocking users, cursing, and threatening. for the well being of eincyclopedia I ask for the sysop Yanon (user page) to be revoked of his sysop rights ASAP. 15:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've discussed this with other staff and with a respected Hebrew speaking member of the English Uncyclopedia, and have removed the admins rights until the problems can be discussed by the bureaucrats and community. -- sannse (talk) 11:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * thank you so much. no that the grounds are even maybe we can resolve this argument. 14:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Report a Problem
Yesterday discontinued full-page display much pages. For example Regál lidé. Poblem = Uncorrect imaging template HS. --Ervinpospisil 09:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

OK? I will try to explain what has happened. Necyklopedie suffers from bad imaging. Some templates seem not to be working properly, as they image parts of the code e.g. instead of the content it should image. see Regál lidé. --Zylbrsztajn 10:01, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

It seems there is a problem with how the system is handling templates that contain html. This has been reported, and should hopefully be fixed soon. -- sannse (talk) 13:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, it was OK last week, but now are some templates displayed incorrectly. For example template Quote in http://necyklopedie.wikia.com/wiki/Alpa. --Karkos 11:13, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Doesn't work even old original Template:Box. Regál lidé is kaput. Calamity!!! You something work. --Ervinpospisil 11:23, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Pac-Man Wiki
The Pac-Man Wiki has alot of potential considering the amount of franchise under the tittle. However presently the site is virtualu empty, and almost everything on the site so far, was done by me. Besides, it only has two administrators so far .Please consider. http://pacman.wikia.com/wiki/Pac-Man_Wiki Tomlamuse 00:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)Tomlamuse 00:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)Tomlamuse.

Wiki Charmed
Hello there ! I'm not entirely sure that you're the person I should be going to and if not, please, feel free to send me off to whoever I should be talking to !

I'm quite an active user on the Charmed wiki along with the user, LeoandPiper, and we were both wondering if it would be possible to become admins. We have been there for a lengthly period of time, made countless categories, pages, redirects, editing the main page and even reverting edits by a vandal ! In the frequent user list, LeoandPiper is the top user, ahead of both admins and I am third, just below one, but I have a feeling I shall soon get ahead as I'm only a few edits behind LeoandPiper. To cut this long message short, could we become admins soon (Liutenant Ayala hasn't made any edits for a while and I believe Darlene for is gone from that wiki). If possible, please reply on my user page on the Charmed wiki. -   2Anthony4  Talk  Contributions  21:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry ! I'm just after reading the template for adopting wikis ! I'll go ahead and ask there. -   2Anthony4  Talk  Contributions  21:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Good luck :) -- sannse (talk) 10:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Image overlap
The header/footer ads are now overlapping the mainspace - the bottom on normal articles, and the top during actions, making it difficult to move and delete articles. Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day.  But set him on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.  03:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, can you give me more details on this please? I know of a problem during deleting/restoring/moving pages (we are working on this one - it's most strange) but not on articles themselves...  What pages are you seeing this on?  Is it with some ads or all?  What browser and operating system do you use?  Are you logged in or out when you see this?  Can you upload a screenshot of what you see?  Thanks for the help -- sannse (talk) 11:12, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The problems with 200-OK showing up should be gone now. Please let me know if you are seeing any other problems -- sannse (talk) 21:35, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Problem: Templates at Necyklopedie
The problem at the Czech Necyklopedie I reported on 8th October 2008 is back again. The templates do not show properly. Many of the templates show a part of the code instead of the content of a parameter. Can you help us, please? --Zylbrsztajn 18:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, this is turning out to be a difficult one to fix. What we know so far is that it seems to be due to a change in the wiki software that isn't working with the old parser, but we need to do more checks before we switch people over.  I'll look at Necyklopedie next, and see if we can move you to the new parser.  If we can, that should fix the template problem. -- sannse (talk) 21:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Your question
Sannse: Hello. I'm very confused and worried by all the deletions and protections on this wiki. Please can you explain what's going on? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 18:02, 16 октября 2008 (UTC)
 * Me: It is very easy to explain: activists of Russian Wiki, supported by administrations, were spoilt our work regularly (,, etc. - ) and had blocked useful participants. Read details on the mainpage. Unfortunately we cannot see our way to accept your cooperation further. Sincerely. А.Б.Верёвкин 18:41, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for closing. I have not understood - who has blocked me from August till September, 20, and who has opened protected articles for vandals, but let it remains your secret. А.Б.Верёвкин 19:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have see, that closing has not taken place. What prevents this? Who patronizes vandalism? А.Б.Верёвкин 16:12, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Blocking Anonomous Edits
Is there a way to make our wiki Ikariam not allow you to make page edits unless you register 1st - ( Morph | Contribs | Talk ) 19:44, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Morph. Yes, it's possible, it just has to be set by staff.  I can do this, if you are certain it's what you want for the wiki.  Anons may cause problems sometimes, but they are also a good source of new editors.  I noticed it was said on your talk page that Wikipedia doesn't allow anon editing... but they do, and always have.  Most people try out the wiki first and then log in.  But let me know what you want, and I will make the switch if necessary.  Regards -- sannse (talk) 09:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Check User
Hello, just requesting what should be a quick one, here's the two accounts in question: Thanks in advance (obviously I doubt the names are a coincidence,if they are I'll eat my hat).--Azaz129 02:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Guthix2345

 * Hi. Well, the IPs don't match... they show as different ISPs and different states.  It's possible the user is playing with open proxies, although it doesn't look as though these are listed as such.  Or it's possible you have two guys who know each other and are playing games.  I would recommend that you keep an eye on them and ban if you need to -- sannse (talk) 09:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

You promised
Dear Sannse, here you promised to close our Wiki on 17th of October. Today is 19th, Wiki was not closed and your inactivity works toward new acts of vandalism again. How do you think, is it normal people? What would you feel if every day such vandals harm at your Wiki? I ask you to stop this ugliness by closing our Wiki. Unfortunately, I do not know how to stop vandals in another way. Nevertheless having been blocked they always create new accounts and continue to harm. I hope, you'll help us to resolve our problem. Best regards. -- Salex 08:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for closing our Wiki. Best regards. -- Salex 06:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

SCA wiki not displaying properly
Hi Sannse, SCA wiki has been working fine for me, but I heard from someone else that when they went to it they got a (main) page from 30 September each time (Main page and comm portal have 'today cell's on). I had thought this was 'cause they hadn't refreshed the page, but when I saw it today refresh made no difference and the main page wasn't displaying properly (more like a list of content without proper layout). Also when I went to the comm portal it only gave Saturday's date, although I have been editing and creating new content today. I am really quite concerned about this, as if the wiki has been displaying incorrectly over the last three weeks this unfortunately coincides with Green wiki getting publicity (which may have been useful to SCA), and also independent promotion of SCA over that time. Hope you can help. Philralph @ sca21 20:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Philralph. We had a problem with one of the servers the day you wrote this (sorry for the slow reply) and all should be fine now.  I've not heard of any longer-term problems, and I currently see the date correctly.  But let me know if you still see any issues.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:13, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Sannse. Thanks for your reply. I just had another look via another user space on my computer (on my user space everything's been fine), and although the Comm portal, and other pages are now looking OK, there still seems to be the same problem with the main page (and sept 30 date):

Humm.. that looks like the css isn't loading... I'll ask UberFuzzy to have a look at this, see if he can see what's going on -- sannse (talk) 17:25, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, just remembered to try a hard refresh and all looks fine now, thanks Philralph @ sca21 17:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

A better deal for more serious topic wikia?
Hi Sannse

I've recently set up a forum and polls on the subject of 'A better deal for more serious topic wikia?' on WikiSocial. It'd be great to get any comments you may have.

At a time when major concerns such as Google are becoming more and more interested in (and taking significant action on) topics such as the environment, climate change etc, is there a danger of Wikia looking like its getting left behind? I know you might point to investing in Green wikia, but it's specifically the issue of what wikia looks like to newcomers and juxtaposition of indiscriminate and potentially offensive advertising that really concerns me, Thanks Philralph @ sca21 08:28, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Help - magic words
Hello Sannse. On Star Wars Fanon, the magic word function __HIDDENCAT__ isn't working. Can you please tell me if anything with our CSS/JS is messing it up or can you fix it? Thank you. I tried to get some help on #wikia and #mediawiki but no one was able to help. Please respond ASAP. Thanks. --Victor talk 05:01, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * sorry for the slow reply! I think Uberfuzzy suggested you move to the new parser to make this work?  Let me know if I misunderstood and this was a different issue -- sannse (talk) 18:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

More interlangs on math
