 * 1) Could you enable the layout builder here?
 * 2) What do you have to do to be a Helper?


 * Hi! LayoutBuilder is now enabled on Annoying Orange Wiki.


 * "Helper" is a formal role on wikia - they are people who are contracted to work for Wikia or are doing an internship with us. Generally, positions for that are on the hiring page (http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia:Hiring ), or are something we approach people directly about. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:22, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

Bakugan Wikia's Badges

 * Hi! This request needs to be made by a sysop. Please ask them to send it to us via Special:Contact. Thanks! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:25, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi Sannse! You probably know me as a admin on the Total Drama Reloaded Wiki right? Well me and another user named Breakingmikey need our Oversight powers on that wiki, and only a Wikia Staff person can do that so, I asked you.

Thanks! The only reason they call him DJ, is because they don&#39;t want to reveal his real name. Donna Jones! 17:43, April 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, oversight isn't a right that's generally used. If there is personal data that needs to be hidden, then please ask staff to do this. Thanks -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:51, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Help!
I'm not an administrator or bureaucrat. The administrator just logged in and do nothing in our Wild Ones Wiki. Recently, we have an enormous vandalizer in Wild Ones Wiki. He makes our page get messy and moving pages be impotent. The main page is also in trouble, I've just have undone his vandalism. According to my vandalism scale, he has violated the Category 9 vandalism and will do immediate actions and blocks. Please block him for 1 week as no administrators or bureaucrats have come to stop him. Where can I apply for rollback? Not enough 60 days but want to become an administrator or bureaucrat.

I'm Wildoneshelper, from http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Ones_Wiki.

The Vandalizer is Midou.zallouz: http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/User:Midou.zallouz

 * Talk to VSTF about this.--


 * It's also good to talk more to the existing admin. He has been on the wiki, so should be able to help out with blocks. I can also give him bureaucrat rights if he wants them... then he can add more admins as needed -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:58, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Ongoing Vandal Problems at the Mass Effect Wiki
Hey Sannse since you've been helpful with me in the past, I hope there is something that you can help me with now, or at least point me in the right direction.

For about the past three weeks, at the Mass Effect Wiki, we have had someone keep coming back, and vandalizing hundreds of articles before he can be banned. This is because he picks the perfect time to strike, during the overnight hours in the US, when both active admins, SpartHawg948 and myself are offline and asleep.
 * Instance from overnight hours on March 20-21: Initially dealt with as Vandal was just using IPs at the time, but the edits made it clear who it was.
 * Instance from overnight hours on March 27-28: Vandal created three separate accounts,
 * Istilldontcares
 * Imoredontcaresnow
 * Inevercaresolittle
 * With the first one, manage to vandalize almost 350 times before Angela blocked him. Also with the Imoredontcaresnow account, he created over 100 pages that had the exact same thing, also deleted by Angela. He then proceeded to make two new accounts over the course of the day, Name's Jack 101, and use multiple IPs to vandalize. I managed to catch these, but it was the second user account, Jack's the name, Lancer, deal with it, is when it started to get personal.

While the vandalism is undone quickly, the attacks this morning, April 2-3, made it personal. What he did this morning was use Cyrillic characters to spoof my user name, which did cause some initial confusion, but then people caught on. Eventually Randomtime, a member of the VSTF, managed to shut him down.

Accounts from this morning, notice the Cyrillic characters: This morning he proceeded to vandalize the wiki, by copy pasting various edit summaries of mine into articles, and using that as the edit summary. This did again cause some confusion as to what was really going on. However what he did then was to try and impersonate me logging in and seeing by account blocked, thankfully he don't know how Wikia operates. The community caught on however, but not before Randomtime unblocked the accounts, which he then reblocked after a conversation on my talk page. I've been trying to sort this out, and I'm at a loss now about what to do. This guy has made it personal and for me has taken the joy out of editing Wikia. This is no fault of you or the staff, but just one person who can't grow up, act mature, get a life, and find something more productive to do. among other things. There are a lot of things I'd like to say about him, but won't. However, I'm about ready to lose my cool about this issue.
 * L%D0%B0nc%D0%B5r1289
 * Lanc%D0%B5r1289
 * Lan%D1%81er1289
 * L%D0%B0n%D1%81er1289
 * L%D0%B0n%D1%81er1289

He recently came back however, and was still using versions of my user name. I have no doubt this is beyond personal and frankly, it is beyond annoying as again I'm about ready to loose my cool. Here are those accounts:
 * Lacner1289
 * Lancer1286

The second of these attacks was the more worryful one with an edit to my talk page. If you choose to follow the link, then you have been warned as it isn't pretty and was insulting to both myself and SpartHawg948, the resident b'crat on the ME wiki. I'm again at a loss about what to do here. Personally I don't think he will stop until I'm gone or I'm blocked. Or until he has every page vandalized at once. But I think the two former conditions are the ones he is going for as he is personally targeting me and only me with his recent attacks.

The only humor, and possibly relief I can find is that when Mass Effect: Evolution Issue #4 is released in a few weeks as this might have all started over the ME Wiki's speculation policy and how we, and more specifically me in this instance, enforced it. If you wish to puruse that topic, here are some relevant links on that point, Mass Effect: Evolution, Illusive Man, and Talk:Illusive Man. Maybe then he will go away, and them maybe not, but he is becoming a permanent pest. I'm betting not as he will gloat, vandalize, and then get banned again for breaking some policy, leading to this all over again.

Also while I was leaving this message, I had enough suspicion to ban the following account based on the image: Again if you want to follow the link, then you have been warned as it just inappropriate to say the least.
 * Garrus Is My Bro

I've contacted the VSTF already about watching over the Wiki during the night, and sent now two emails using the contact form, but again since Spart and myself are offline during the overnight hours so he can pretty much vandalize at will. I know you probably won't read this until tomorrow, but this is out of control and I'm really hoping that there is something the staff can do about this issue as I'm out of options and this guy is a pain in the side of the community and myself.

Again anything that the staff can do, will be much appreciated by the community. But as I've stated I'm at my whit's end with this issue. I'm really hoping that something can be done to hopefully stop this guy apart from having someone from the VSTF sit on the wiki 24/7 for the foreseeable future.

Some relevant links:
 * Block Log
 * Block List
 * Deletion Log
 * User talk:Lancer1289

I think this is the longest initial message I've left anyone.

As always, thanks in advance. Lancer1289 04:31, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Apparently I missed a lot while I was sleeping as he proceeded to create more accounts and then have an on again off again on Teugene's talk page. He then created another account, and apparently I was wrong about the Cyrillic characters, and vandalize again: %C4%BFancer1289. There were also two IPs that were banned at the same time for similar actions and now I am at my whit's end. If there is anything the staff can do, it would be much appreciated. This guy is out of control and not only breaking our policies, but I'm beyond a reasonable doubt that he's broken several of Wikia's during this whole process. Lancer1289 13:34, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Quick addendum: He apparenlty will give up a break today, which I highly doubt as his recent account, %C5%81ancer1289, blanked by user page, and well you can read the summary. Lancer1289 13:48, April 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Special:Contact, request a checkuser and a rangeblock. That should take care of him for a while.
 * I've already contacted the staff about it yesterday, with to different emails. The problem is he uses proxy IPs and just keeps coming back. I'll send another email however before I leave for school. Lancer1289 13:48, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Multiple emails won't change anything - one is enough. A rangeblock takes out a bunch of IP addresses all at once, which will prevent him from changing his IP address to continue vandalizing.
 * If there was a range we could have blocked, we'd have done it already  Random Time  17:13, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Or that. Aren't there other tools that staff have for this kind of thing?
 * As Randomtime says, There's not a way to block all the IPs he may be using. The VSTF and staff are aware of the problems, and will keep looking for IPs and ranges to block, but a it may just be persistence in reverting that pays off. The basics of keeping vandalism off a wikis are always: block, revert, ignore. The more quickly and quietly you can do that, the more likely the vandal will get bored and move on :) But also see Wendy's reply to your email, Lancer... maybe she can help a bit more. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:09, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sannse, however we are trying our best to deal with the problem. I did see Wendy's email, and that doesn't sound like something that we'd be comfortable with as we generally don't protect pages altogether. Generally most of our IPs edit in a positive manor, but if it keeps going, maybe I'll bring it up. Something tells me this guy will just keep coming back until issue #4 is released on the 20th and it confirms what he's been pushing. Anyway, it is nice to know that the staff and the VSTF are on the lookout, however we also did just add two more admins to Spart and myself a few hours ago, one of whom lives in Australia so he can keep an eye out overnight. Maybe once he realizes he can't hit during that time like he used to, maybe he will stop. I can only hope. I again thank you for your assistance, and I do just have one more question, has the staff seen something like this before, one person who keeps coming back time and time again? Lancer1289 17:17, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Addendum: After reading this again, I just realized that this made it sound like we don't appreciate the staff and the VSTF looking out for us, and if that did happen, then my sincerest apologies on that. We all appreciate the staff being on the lookout, as I've thanked each one who has come around to assist, and we would appreciate any additional assistance in dealing with the problem. I also apologize if this causes you an edit conflict as I just wanted to clear the air in case there was something that was misinterpreted. I know you are busy Sannse, but I would appreciate a response to make sure that I didn't convey something that wasn't intended. I sometimes I have a problem expressing gratitude in comments. Lancer1289 18:00, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

It didn't sound that way at all :) and I understand the frustration, this sort of thing is very hard on those who care about wikis.

Yes, we've seen this before on other wikis - in fact, it goes right back to the early days of Wikipedia. As annoying as it is, persistence with "block, revert, ignore" really does work... eventually. The good users on wikis outweigh the bad, or wikis simply wouldn't exist. We can make any changes to access that you need to keep this under control - but spreading the work between more admins is also a good way to help -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:15, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey Sannse, sorry for the lack of response time but I figured I'd give you an update.
 * I am glad to know that I wasn't misinterpreted. Also it appears that your strategy worked, as the vandal hasn't been back for a while now, and I don't think you will find one person that isn't happy about that. However, maybe he left because he no longer had the time to waste. Who knows really, but I know I can speak for at the very least the vast majority of the community when I say that I'm glad he's gone. Hopefully he won't be back, but then we can never assume that he won't be. Oh well, it's been a relatively quiet week, but since Game Informer made Mass Effect 3 their May issue cover story, we've been dealing with those additions. Which I have to say is a nice change. I just which mine would arrive so I could read it properly.
 * I would again like to thank the staff and the VSTF for looking out for us. I do hope you enjoy your day/afternoon/evening depengin on when you read this message. Lancer1289 19:48, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Big Problem with admin
I recently joined the fanverse wiki (fanverse.wikia.com) because a friend of mine made it. I was on for awhile and a user named Xenosaiyan57 started talking to me, asking if I wanted to write a story with him. I has previously given him some constrictive critisism, however I said I did not want to work with him and told me to leave me alone. He went to one of the admins, Zel'no'di, and said I was "rude", which resulted in Zel'no'di blocking me for a year. I think this is a gross misuse of his powers as an admin, and something should be done about it. 184.98.170.211 01:15, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, this is something you need to work out with the admins on the wiki. I agree it seems very harsh for the comment I see, but this should be something decided by the admins there. I see there are two active admins, so possibly the other one can help mediate between you. Good luck! -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:40, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Typo in wiki name
I made a typo when making a wiki, how do you change the name of the Wiki?-- Evil kitteh  00:25, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

User: DaNASCAT abuse of power
Hi. As you may have heard, the popular Smashwiki moved a while ago to another host site named Wikia. The community moved with it and copied the articles down there. We hope you respect this move, as we had conflicts with wikia before. However, wikia staff has refused to delete the SmashWiki here on wikia, despite the fact that the only users remaining are either one-time minor editors, vandals, or a handful of users (including me) that are community members who are just sticking by to stop the vandals. Even worse, User: DaNASCAT is blocking some of the vandal reverters only because we are notifying new users about the move. He has also made it clear that he is fiercly opposed to us turning the wiki into a more useful source (like a proposed Fanon wiki). He is doing this even though he has not contributed to the wiki at all. WE repeatedly try to get him to discuss this, rather than merely censor our opinions, but he has not responded. We hope you can talk to him about this and respect our wishes to have control of our site. Mr. Anon 04:36, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you have moved, Wikia will not close the site as they still own the wiki. Rather they will help in restoring the wiki and make it more friendly to new users. I have seen many people who have moved complaining about being blocked "for reverting vandalism". Trust me, there is always more to it. From what I have seen, Smash wiki was using site notices- a Tou violation- and telling all users to go to the new off wikia wiki, also not allowed.--
 * We were not in any way telling users to leave. Rather, we were informing them of the facts: that the community had moved to another domain. Mr. Anon 05:00, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do not act as if I don't know what I am talking about. EVERY SINGLE USER supported the leave from wikia, yet you REFUSE to delete it at all. We try to compromise in changing it to a fanon wiki, and even then you stand in our way. I have lost my patience. You claim to try to protect the content in the wiki, yet that content was created by the very users you are blocking, who are trying hard to prevent vandals from damaging our work. You side with users known to abuse their powers on other wikis. Discuss this properly and address my points. Mr. Anon 05:13, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * No need to get hostile. You need to look at the facts. Wikia owns the smash wiki, not you. If you have left wikia, then wikia is going to go in there and clean up the wiki and change it around to bring in new users. They have very strict rules on promoting the new wiki within the wikia wiki. I believe it is supposed to just be a blog post detailing the move. You also used sitenotices which are a Tou violation. If you have left wikia, then leave peacefully and let wikia do what it must to bring new editors to the wikia site.--
 * I am not getting hostile. Let's look at the facts. We decided to move. We obviously notified users about this move, and yes through a sitenotice. The sitenotice in question merely stated that the community has moved and linked to a page detailing the reasons for the move. Our users also directly notified new users about this. In no way did we force; we did not threaten with blocks or any thing like that. Might I also mention that we were the one cleaning up the barage of vandalism, not you? If you guys cared about the state of the wiki, you would help in this. Instead, you desysop a user who was only using his powers to revert the said vandalism, and refused to respond to complaints of this desysop. DaNASCAT has repeatedly stood in the way of us even changing the purpose of the site, even though EVERY SINGLE USER supported the said change of tone. You may technically "own" the wiki, but wikia has in no way aided in the formation and building up of the wiki. Mr. Anon 05:29, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I ask a two questions: if DaNASCAT's only purpose in his actions is to improve the wiki, why hasn't he done ANYTHING to stop the consistant vandalism there? And why are you so against the "new users" that you are trying to help deciding for themselves, rather than censoring important information about the move? Mr. Anon 05:34, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Like it or not, this kind of thing has happened dozens of times before. DaNASCAT's actions are completely normal and entirely 'legal'. You're not going to get anywhere with this.

We absolutely support the right to fork. It's up to you where you edit, of course, and the Creative Commons license we use means that you are allowed to copy content from Wikia to another site (with attribution). But what you can't do is expect to also control the wiki you have chosen to leave. If users on a wiki decide to go elsewhere, then that doesn't mean the Wikia wiki will be closed, or that you can remove content from it - it will remain in place for anyone who chooses to stay, or for future editors that might want to revive the wiki later.

There's a bit of a trend at the moment for those who have forked wikis to say "we are re-purposing the Wikia version". What that really means is "we want to delete the current content so that it doesn't compete with our alternative version". That's not acceptable. The wiki content has a home on Wikia, and should be available for anyone who wants to use it here, now or in the future. If you are adding to a wiki to broaden it's scope, that's great! But if you are deleting content to help your alternative wiki, then that's not OK.

On notices: we allowed notices on all wikis that forked, so that the existing community understands what's going on... but there comes a time when the Wikia version has to move on and have a chance to revive. There is no reason that Wikia should allow you to use our service to advertise your alternative - just as you wouldn't allow someone to come to your wiki and leave messages for each editor saying "don't do this here, come to Super Smash Bros Neowiki". You would (rightly) consider that spam and would ban the spammer. Wikia does the same.

I hope that clarifies the situation. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:46, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

However that does not change the fact that danascat abused his power there. They were reverting vandalizm and being useful there beyond telling people where the community moved. 74.32.228.247 20:15, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

" We absolutely support the right to fork.

 * You must realize that this isn't just "a couple users" departing. The users of smashwiki UNANIMOUSLY decided to move. Because we were the users who built the wiki, it is up to us to decide what to do with it. When a SINGLE actual user of the wiki disagrees with us, then your point will gain weight. However, as the smashwikia here is literally an abandoned duplicate of the NIWA smashwiki, there is no purpose in keeping it. Furthermore, it is us who are the people who created this content in the first place, and it is perfectly within our right to remove that content if we see fit. If the people here wish to create their own smashwikia here, that is fine. However, what is not fine is blocking the users who created the content then claiming the content as their own. It seems your purpose in this is to "leave the content for anyone who chooses to stay", but as smashwikia is currently flooded with vandalism, that "content" will not be very helpful I'm afraid.

"There's a bit of a trend at the moment for those who have forked wikis to say "we are re-purposing the Wikia version". What that really means is "we want to delete the current content so that it doesn't compete with our alternative version". That's not acceptable.

But if you are deleting content to help your alternative wiki, then that's not OK."
 * First of all, the users of smashwiki have UNANIMOUSLY agreed to change smashwikia into a fanon wiki. This is not "competing", as there is no opposition on either smashwiki. As stated above, the content here is an unnecessary duplicate of the content in NIWA Smashwiki. The purpose of our proposal is to make the wiki more useful, so that it is actually helpful to the users and can be maintained.

"On notices: we allowed notices on all wikis that forked, so that the existing community understands what's going on... but there comes a time when the Wikia version has to move on and have a chance to revive. There is no reason that Wikia should allow you to use our service to advertise your alternative - just as you wouldn't allow someone to come to your wiki and leave messages for each editor saying "don't do this here, come to Super Smash Bros Neowiki". You would (rightly) consider that spam and would ban the spammer. Wikia does the same."
 * Again, there is nobody left who wants to stay at wikia. Your comparison to neoseekersmashwiki is invalid, as we are not an "outside source" trying to advertise. No, we ARE the people of smashwikia, the same people reverting vandalism and proposing useful changes. We are not "forcing" users away. Again, we are merely stating the fact that the dedicated users who have written the wiki have moved. Again, if a user here wishes to start from scratch, then that's perfectly acceptable. However, it is unnacceptable for a user to claim our content as their own. As such, smashwikia is still "our" wiki.


 * You have also not addressed my important point regarding abuse of power by your staff member DaNASCAT. As said, DaNASCAT is making wild accusations such as Omega Tyrant "abusing his power", when really he has not given a single example. Similarly, DaNASCAT repeatedly claims that we are "forcing users away", when we are indeed doing nothing of the sort. This is abusing power; he is not blocking to "help the community" at all. Mr. Anon 22:37, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mr Anon, if you move on, you are no longer the community of the Wikia wiki - you are now an "outside source". And given your decision, any vote to remove the content is tainted by a conflict of interest.
 * In editing here, you agreed to Wikia's Terms of Use, which allow us to "prohibit you from using or accessing the Service for any reason, or no reason, at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice." (although as far as we are concerned, advertising your off-Wikia wiki on Wikia is a reason). And remember, the Creative Commmons license goes both ways. It allows you to fork, and it allows the Wikia wiki to continue and be adopted by new users in the future.
 * I am not going to continue this conversation here. DaNASCAT has my full support, and will follow up on the wiki. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:35, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to say this Mr Anon, but it's useless to argue with the staff. No matter how fair you are being, OR how rational, or even how much the staff are blatantly wrong (be it power abuse or just refusing to see reason) you will lose. since oasis kicked in the staff have changed. If you have forked, the staff can and WILL do whatever they want with your old abandoned wiki no matter how much you try to help it. To them it's all about the money, and if that means hoarding your old content and not listening to anyone but themselves, then that's what they'll do. :/ 74.32.224.223 15:22, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Tips to Stop Vandalism?
Hello, on the Fairy Tail Wiki we have someone who is an anon user, and is constantly vandalizing the site by deleting relevant info and references, and we can't block him because he uses different I.P. addresses. I contacted one of our admins about it, and he said that he couldn't block him because he would have to range block him and he wouldn't do that because he didn't know who else that would effect. Is there any way to range block him without affecting other users, if so I would like to pass this info to one of the admins of the site I'm on. I am really getting tired of having to revert his vandalism.

Here are a few of his I.P. addresses.

If there is anything you can do to help, please do.

Two things: 1) Talk to VSTF. They can find a range for you. No guarantees that it won't affect others but its not likely.

2) I see you are using a variation on my sig. Drop me a message so I can help you fix it because it is adding too much code to the page when you sign.--

Thanks.


 * It looks like a range won't be helpful in this case - it's really what I said about a similar case above ... persistence pays off! Block, revert, and ignore... that's always your best weapon. I've also asked the VSTF to try and keep an extra eye on the wiki for a while :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:43, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

I was unjustly banned off one of my favorite wikis
Hello, I am here requesting that an administrator be dethroned. He does not treat the people on the rvb wiki with respect and banned me because I was disputing something he kept adding into an article. I proved his reasoning clearly wrong and he never provided a source for his information

although each wiki has its own rules an policies set by these people, these wikis are created for a specific purpose of archiving information relating to a specific subject. I was simply trying to keep the information on this website accurate, if you read the reasoning that I provide it is very clear that the information he refuses to have removed from the article is completely false (as he is claiming that this character is based off another character from halo that didnt exsist at the time, and shares zero similarities with said character)

Please I need this situation resolved. Because I really do love this wiki and the internet show it is based on. ralok 20:27, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Also, here is a link to the discussion. http://rvb.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Leonard_Church ralok 20:29, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Also, they didnt play the game over a YEAR before it came out, in fact I dont think the game was even announced before the season of red vs blue in which the character being discussed was introduced ended. (checking now) The season of red vs blue ended in october, one month after halo odst was announced. And saying a character is SIMILIAR to another character, does not mean that your character is BASED off that other character. ralok 20:32, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Severe abuse of admin powers
On the fanverse wiki (www.fanverse.wikia.com) one of the admins blocked me for "harrasment" awhile back when all I did was give mild constructive critism, and one mildly rude comment. I was willing to let bygons be bygons and tried to talk with him. It eventually led to him extending my block to a full year, as well as blocking me from my own userpage, even though he openly admitted to it being an abuse of his powers. I have contacted the other admin on the wiki, however his internet has been down lately. Would it be possible for the staff to do something about it? Evnyofdeath 06:28, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Help admins destroying GTA Wiki!!!!!!!!!!!!
The admin A-Dust sent a take down request for articles to Wikia because I copied articles from grandtheftwiki.com to this wiki, but this is not copyrighted to them, they have no right to delete these articles, they are not the owners of any information, its rockstar that owns all the names and information, and the articles they have are created by users just like here. So please consider this first please before deleting any article here, they just doen't want any benefit to Wikia or this wiki, they jut want to destroy it!: here's a link to what he said: http://gta.wikia.com/Talk:Liberty_City/New_York_Landmarks, thanks.

grandtheftwiki.com is a website they made because of a dispute between them and wikia and took all the articles that this wiki has, there. So there is no reason for them to delete articles, it's not copyrighted to them if it is a violation to any copyright law then they must delete their's.WikisEditor 21:37, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, Wendy or Dopp will call in to the wiki to help you with this. The short answer is that it's best not to copy directly from another wiki. Instead, you should collect together the information from the source article and elsewhere, and then write it in your own words. If you do copy directly from the other wiki, then you need to give attribution to the source. Both wikis use the same license, so copying is allowed, but only if you include attribution to the source. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 02:40, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Annoying things
Hey there,

Hi Sannse, you might remember me from the Halopedia or Halo Fanon wiki as SPARTAN-A110. So apparently I think Wikia are applying these new 'badges' on new wikias and I need help with removing them on my recently created wiki, The Terminator Fanon wiki. If you know how to remove the badges, can you also help with these other new features such as on pages. How it shows a user's top wikis, a user's recent activity, a user's top pages created, etc. I would love to have that space those unneeded things were into just the Wiki Activity. If you can, please reply on my talk page. It's rare for me to check another user's talk page to see if they responded. Thanks!

Yours sincerely, Sebastian 13:50, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Blog message in blue container
The blue container where your message is, is a bit hard to read. I'm not sure if that's a sitewide feature, or if it is a personal feature. May I suggest the color be changed to a more revealing color? I wanted to inquire about it right there, but it would be off topic to the blog so I decided to come here instead. --Liliana (my talk). 03:43, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

 * Oh I see, yes that's what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if my laptop colors are to blame but I really don't feel like changing them here. I'm not sure what could be done to improve it, but as a rule of thumb, if a darker color is used, the text should be changed to white. (Like the edit buttons I am looking at at the bottom of this window) that seems more clear for me to read. Thanks for your help. --Liliana (my talk). 00:56, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

The 55 of Tumas
There's a guy named Tuma55, who had dupe acounts like Kamodo55 and many others, he created a Wiki, called the Tuma55 wiki, on It's pages, it has things saying that really good members, are horrible evil people, and saying that himself and this other guy, are completely awesome people. I need you to take this Wikia down, for the good of the members of Bioniclepedia.-- LOL trollz  00:48, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Also, he blocked me from his wikia, saying for me to go **** my mom, but he didn't sensor it-- LOL trollz  00:55, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * If it's on another wiki, it's not that big of a problem - just ignore the wiki, and block him from Bioniclepedia. Acknowledging the existence of that wiki would violate DFTT, which is only going to make things worse.

I'd came here to ask if you could create an theme for the D.Gray-man Wiki. I tried to create a lot but they where not so good.

Pokemon Fanon Wiki
Hi, Sannse!

I bring you impressions I got from Pokemon Fanon Wiki.

I must tell you, I believe that 1 bureaucrat and 2 admins aren't legible for their position. They make judgements sometimes not according to what people say, don't take constructive criticism (They say It's just yelling and harassing), are somewhat ignorant and arrogant, always put their guiltness on others and similar. Now, I'm not here to tell them to make me an admin there at all, but to say that you should either warn or demote them.

Now, here's a list of what they've done non-adminish:

The Bureaucrat:
Name of the user: Universalguardian1003
 * Has somewhat insulted me in the way "I'm superior to you" and posted how she's got more edits to the Wikia than I had.
 * Considered ourselves harassing the admins while we just showed constructive criticism. By her, harassing is asking admins to do something twice. Then she said that she ignored my post since we said it without a reason, while the second time I told the actual reason.
 * Has violated the "Don't feed the trolls" rule with just by inviting the trolls to vandalize. She posted a "An admins is always watching!" bubble which floats around the wiki to "warn" trolls that the wiki is active and that they shouldn't vanadalize, which contradicts logic. What she actually did is just invite them to vandalize since an inactive wiki is not fun to vandalize.
 * Basically said that I'm guilty that an user left the wiki, while we had to do nothing with him, and he left since other people were talking behide his back.
 * Basically vandalized a banned user's userpage adding "I can be rude.". No bureaucrat is allowed to change an user's userpage. (She did this on 2 users)
 * Made a caregory called "Critics" and said that the ones marked by this almost tore the wiki apart. This was refering to me (Who did nothing) and 2 of my friends (Who did do some not nice stuff, but that was incredibly minor).
 * Considered myself "not welcome" to the wiki since all my critics were being answered.

1st admin:
Name of the user: Intrudgero98
 * Banned me without any kind of warning, for no reason whatsoever. We were actually having a friendly convo and he just banned me.
 * He balantly ignored the "Why is he banned?" question by others.
 * He insulted an user by saying how he has a puny mind which can't hold the smartness of his mind. I agree, the user he insulted was somewhat un-friendly, but he was still over-reacting and insulting an user should immediately mean a demotion.
 * Somewhat bragged by his IQ popping in a random conversation saying "I have a high IQ too, just to let you know."
 * Violated the "Don't feed the trolls" rule.

2nd admin:
Name of the user: Commander Lightning
 * Banned me over the ban of the 1st admin. He should see which users are banned and which users are not.
 * He didn't want to unnban me because the first one who banned me was his "friend". It doesn't matter, as long as the ban is not valid, it should be removed.
 * When users were winning an argument with him, mostly about improving a wiki with constructive criticism, he would do anything just not to make the other guy win. He didn't take criticism, that was bad.
 * Said I was given warnings while I never was, and for no reason.
 * Saying he will give me "a second chance" while I never loosed the first one. He considered myself a bad user for no valid reason. Admins should be smart enough to realize who should, and who shouldn't be banned.

This was most of the things they've done. I just had to report this to you since my staying on the wiki was basically always treathened, and I've been banned for no valid reason. I consider these admins and one bureaucrat (Which are the most active on the Wiki) not good enough to have their status, that's why I have to request you to either demote them or talk to them so they could change (Though I'll probably be banned on the Wiki). They just behave like an admin should not.

Respectively,

&lt;3 I hav&#39; a crush &lt;3 02:54, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: Well, in the last days, most of the stuff has already been fixed, and issues were resolved. I don't think there's need for this anymore. &lt;3 I hav&#39; a crush &lt;3 02:08, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Pokemon Answers Wiki
Hi, Sannse! I'm an Administrator on Pokemon Answers Wik. I, this guy and the Active Bureaucrat are the only Sysops on the Wiki (and possibly the only active users with an account, cuz over 99% are Anonymous Users). I was wondering if you could "modify" or tweak the Wiki up a bit.

Wiki Bot
I was wondering if you could flag a Wikia Bot to clean up vandalism.

Badges
I was wondering if you will update the Wiki with "Wiki Badges." I've sent you a special message, but nobody replied. So will you apply Badges? I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks a lot! Arceus The God of Pokemon 05:33, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I created Dragon Ball Fanon Answers Wiki, and that means I should have Bureaucrat rights, right? But my Username shows up on the Special: Listusers page with 0 edits despite me editing 15 times and though it says 'Bureaucrat, Sysop', I can't seem to promote other users! Whats happening? Please get it fixed as soon as possible. And could you please delete a few Wikis? Arceus The God of Pokemon 07:01, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

 * I admit that I heard of both 4th hale and Quiet Man on separate occasions and then mistook them for the same person after seeing the rename in the recent changes. But if a second rename isn't possible, I wouldn't worry about 4th hale being too active.

Ongoing Issues
Well I thought we were finally done with that vandal I've told you about, but apparently not. He has now gone and vandalized at least 10 wikis that I know of. World of Warcraft, The Old Republic, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Homefront, L.A. Norte, Dragon Age, Call of Duty, Dragon Ball, and Borderlands. The problem I keep running into is that I keep getting blased on my talk page about it. Frankly it is driving me up one bulkhead and down the other, time after time after time. I'm not really sure what to do about this as I'm literally at my whits end with the message, and people who don't take about 10 seconds to do some research. I have gotten nice messages from the people at the Dragon Age, WoW, L.A. Norte, and CoD wikis because some people actually took some time to do some research. But Assassin's Creed and Dragon Ball I got blasted on because some people didn't do their research. I know the staff is more than likely aware of this problem, and if you or someone from the VSTF needs to find them, just saying that a good bet is to have someone check my talk page at the ME wiki from time to time as I highly doubt these messages will stop anytime soon.

However there are a few questions I do have. I know I did ask you before if you have seen something like this, but something tells me that this has now gone beyond what anyone has seen at Wikia. So is this one of the biggest problems that you have seen or am I just blowing this up? My second question is there anything you can suggest to deal with him? Not the actual vandalism, which is easy, but the fallout from it as it is really getting annoying having to deal with it. Thanks in advance as always. Lancer1289 21:34, April 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Lancer. No, I've seen this one before too :)  I understand the annoyance with being mistaken for the vandal, but stick with it - there are some other tweaks we can make to help and we are looking at that now.

A problem with a User
Hello, Sannse! There is a user on this wiki (which really needs to be deleted anyways) who really needs to be blocked. I am an admin there, and the user has forgotten his password (the user is Jeenking, by the way) so I have blocked him temporarily, but as soon as he remembers his password, he will be able to overrule me (he is the creator of the wiki; in other words, he can overrule and demote me before I can block him again). This has been a touchy subject with the members of the "real" Avatar Wiki for a while, and if I block him, that will be the end of that. So, is there any way that you can help me? Any help is really appreciated. Thank you! MR tG

Hi
We need your help with the TDWiki. An former B-Crat promoted herself without any contact, blocked an admin, un-blocked a user, and demoted herself. Please come to the Total Drama Wiki's IRC room at #WIKIA-TDWIKI. Thank You. Mikeyy

How do you promote yourself?

 * Hi, Dopp has been looking at this and talking to those involved - she's the best person to contact (although, of course, the admins and bureaucrats on the wiki are always the first to talk to - they need to work on this together :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  04:49, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Picture Glitch is Back
I saw the new wordmark on Ben 10 Planet, and thought it was cool. I asked its creator if he could make another for the fan fiction site. When he did, I set it as the wordmark, but it won't show up. I think I reported this glitch before, but I thought it went away. What's wrong?

Never mind. It's showing.

 * Usually, when there is a delay in images showing up, it means that one of the servers is being slow to pick up on the new version. That usually corrects itself after a while (or our techy guys give them a thump and they get corrected that way).  We are always improving and building the system to make it less likely this happens, but then we are always growing which makes it more likely :) So sorry for the problem, and if you see it again try giving it a while and it should clear -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  04:54, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.16.4
I cannot edit normally on my wikia because it link directly to an page that i must set up MediaWiki 1.16.4. Why actually?? Do i must have that?? ProGamerP9 (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 11:42, May 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's a server-side glitch. Wikia is updating to MediaWiki 1.16.4, and they must have made a mistake somewhere. Nothing you can do about it, best to just wait it out.


 * OK thanks, I tough about that as a second option. ProGamerP9 (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 11:51, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Set up the Wiki
I tried to edit on Ben 10 Fan Fiction. When I clicked submit, the page turned white, and a message saying "Set up the wiki first" showed up with the MediaWiki logo. What's that for? Set up the wiki was a link, but it only went to a nonexistent page with a bunch of coding behind the page title. Is this a glitch or something?
