You blocked an anonymous user on The Vault?
Hi! I'm an admin over at The Vault, and I notice you recently showed up to ban an anonymous user from our site. I wonder what your reasons are, since I see nothing in his contribution list that warrants it. Thanks.--Gothemasticator 07:58, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey there! Did you check his deleted contributions? -- 15:48, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I figured I was missing something. Thanks for the info.--Gothemasticator 02:45, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hi there, I'm an administrator on the Cyber Nations Wiki. I was wondering if you had checkuser privileges, and if I could make a request to obtain the IP address of a user to determine if it is the same as another anonymous user. Please contact me with your response, ~ Michael von Preußen (voicemail)


 * Hi there. The Spam taskforce doesn't have the ability to checkuser. You'll have to contact Wikia with that request. Sorry I couldn't be of more help :) -- 05:09, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the prompt response, but the issue was resolved anyway. Thanks again, ~ Michael von Preußen (voicemail)

Sig
The sigX, is valid on All Wikia or, only in Central Wikia. 21:40, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Only here. You'd need to make your sig for each wiki. Take care to mind if the wiki's you edit at have policies for signatures. -- 21:41, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Bullying
boy you do not bully me again do you hear me?


 * Hi, Scott. If you look at little closer, I was the one removing the vandalism, not adding it. -- 19:16, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Why
a user can to be vstf? 18:00, January 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * See SpamTaskForce -- 18:18, January 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * and, who choose a vstf? A staff's member? 01:06, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Check out the bottom of the page at SpamTaskForce, it explains how to volunteer. -- 01:08, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * ¿I'm going on the right way, or not? 01:13, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's not really a question Charitwo can answer, it's more of a self-evaluating thing. Anybody can help get involved with the removal of cross-wiki spam via the IRC counter-vandalism channel. The best way to get noticed is to get involved and become a positive influence and asset. Joey (talk) 04:07, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Also posted this on your talk page on CA wiki
It appears we're in need of your bot again on Combat Arms Wiki! Would you be able to reformat about... 75 pages... to correctly display a modified template? Template:Quote was changed from being formatted to display the attribution as you typed it, like this: "blahblahblah - Attribution" to requiring the attribution to be typed in like this: "blahblahblah"

- Attribution Thanks ahead of time. SeaCrane_1 21:59, January 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Replied at talk page at CA. -- 23:00, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Blocked from my own wiki?
Care to explain why you've blocked me from editing my own wiki (http://online-teaching.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Online_teaching_dos_and_don%27ts_Wiki)?

Your stated reason was vandalism, but I've just reviewed the entire revision history, and I don't see any. What I see is a series of revisions by me, and one (18:56, January 9, 2010) by a friend whom I invited to comment. No spam, no vandalism.

Even if there had been vandalism, why block ME?

This is my first experience with Wikia, and looks like being my last. How would you feel if you created a wiki and four days later found yourself locked out of your own wiki by some meddling stranger? At the very least I'd like to hear your reasons for doing so.

Andy Baird Andybaird 01:04, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Andy. Can you please e-mail me the entire blocked message you receive as this is not a local block. -- 01:06, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

User: Scott Rankin
http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Scott_Rankin  It's a giant ad for some web hosting company.  λ T 16:06, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorted, thank you. You can also mark those with and someone will likely notice it quicker. -- 16:15, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Bot
Hello, sorry to bother you (if you're too busy, don't answer). I wanted to ask you some things about bots (just curious). Here goes: I know it might be a lot of questions, so take your time. But please, answer in my talk page, so I can see when you've answered if I'm in another wiki. Thanks, -- Just  Me  19:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Can any account be given a "bot flag"?
 * 2) Can you do automatic changes without a bot flag?
 * 3) Can a sysop at a wiki give a bot flag, or is it just the Wikia Community Team?
 * 4) If you have a bot, how do you make it edit automatically? (just a simple explanation, if it's too complicated, don't worry about it)


 * Yes, providing they have community approval to be flagged as one.
 * If you have a bot framework, such as AutoWikiBrowser or Pywikipediabot framework.
 * By default, only helpers and staff can grant bot flags. You request them via Special:Contact once you have community approval.
 * See #2, those are the two most community used programs to edit things "Automatically".


 * Hope this helps!-- 19:39, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, thanks a lot. Just one last thing: if I want see what it works like, which is easier to use (and to understand), AutoWikiBrowser or Pywikipediabot framework? -- Just  Me  14:47, January 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Both have their uses, I use AWB on Windows and Pybot on linux (there's one for windows but I haven't used it). It's just a matter of what you want to do with it. I personally make ample use out of both, so if you have the resources, I definitely recommend getting both. -- 17:06, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Please help
I am looking at helping out a certain wiki (http://hyundai.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) but need help getting out vandalism. Can you help me? Thanks, GG 360


 * Hi! I've cleared out some spam dating back to April of last year, if I missed anything please let me know. You may also be interested in adoption of the wiki. -- 15:42, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I would like to help out the wiki and become admin so that I can refresh it. GG 360

Categories
Sorry for that. I saw them on page and I thought it was good if I did make them. I did mean it good. Please don't take this from the wrong side.--Station7 19:57, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nah, it's cool, just wanted to give you the heads up before you made too many of them. You can check out User_blog:KyleH/The_future_of_Central_Wikia for more info on the changes I mentioned. -- 19:59, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Malware-related Ads(?)
I realize that this isn't exactly the jurisdiction, but since you're from FFXIclopedia I'm starting here. Using Google Chrome to visit FFXIclopedia is returning a malware warning claiming that the page contains elements from 212.117.180.54 (link to the Safe Browsing page, not the page itself) which may host malware. Not all pages return this warning, and I assume that it's ads causing the problem because those which do not show it are userpages, edit pages, and other pages which do not have ads other than for other wikis. Typically I ignore Safe Browsing warnings as most of the time they're false and/or reference no real risks; even if they do have some substance, it's normally just one page that's infected and not the whole site. However, this one looks a little more interesting: Of the 100 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2010-02-04, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2010-02-04. Malicious software includes 105 trojan(s), 102 exploit(s), 1 scripting exploit(s). I haven't experienced this on any other wiki and obviously I'm not going to personally test to see if there's any real malware associated with the "infected elements." I'm not sure what qualifies as "consent" to Google's bots, so if you have to download something from the site then there's no real problem and you might wish to contact Google to have these warnings removed from Wikia wikis. However, whether the elements embedded in FFXIclopedia are directly related to malware or not, I don't know if it's a good idea to keep ads for or provided by this site. Just some thoughts, 02:45, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

So sorry
You just caught me a I just finished my last ever edit (its perfect now). Just out of curiosity, what else is there to do?--SGCommand 15:47, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * There are over 75000 wikis to work on! Such as the StarGate wiki. -- 16:01, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Erm, I'm removed as admin on here and I have contributed pics for Doctor Who. I have to wait for the new look Wikia to see what edits I can make. Any chance that after a few edits, I can have my user contents back please?--SGCommand 14:09, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You've never been an admin here. Your userpage is still preserved in the history, however the giant list I removed is out of scope of the user page policy. As far as I know, the new look and the moving is complete, minus a couple bugs that need to be ironed out and the ongoing maintenance here on central. -- 15:15, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Central Wikia or not central wikia ?

 * Central wikia doit recenser tous les wikias sans en escamoté aucun!
 * Il ne faudrait au moins pas supprimé les anglais! ni les français d'ailleurs! Wikisoft* @@@-fr 16:03, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Toutes les pages de description sont supprimés, désolé. S'il vous plaît voir User_blog:KyleH/The_future_of_Central_Wikia. -- 16:09, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Help again
I have found a site that needs heavy deletion. All of them I have tagged. [ http://dogs.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:GameGear360]. Thanks, GG360


 * Done. -- 15:41, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Mass removal of blue box pages
Hello the Marapets page was deleted recently had all the Wikia's Marapets related wikis. Unfortunately searching for Marapets does not give such outstanding results in Wikia gaming (all results point to Marapedia which is abandoned, meanwhile my wiki the Maradan Chronicles doesn't show up). May I please have the code in the history for my wiki? I can't look into the history of the page at all to retrieve it. I'd appreciate it. Or better yet, if there is a way you can move that whole page to my wiki the Maradan Chronicles with the title "Marapets Wikis" that would be awesome. Thanks! --Molokaicreeper 04:04, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please see User blog:KyleH/The future of Central Wikia for why these are being deleted. You can get the text of the page here but please don't use it here at central as those templates are going away once the categories have been unpopulated. -- 04:10, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much, I will transfer to my wiki and also the templates needed for that too, I have plans for it in the future as now more users are making edits in the Marapets wikis that were abandoned since I've invited many people to help out! :) Molokaicreeper 04:14, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Happy to help! -- 04:15, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Accidental hub deletion
Hey Charitwo. Three hub pages were accidentally deleted in the blue box removal. They are Hub:Creative, Hub:Fictional wiki nations, and Hub:Science. If you could restore them, that would be great. Thanks! Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 06:14, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 06:20, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Those pages may have to be re-done to avoid the use of the wiki descriptions categorization. -- 06:22, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

"mass removal of blue box pages"
I'm the administrator for the Scripture Engagement page and just got a not that charibot deleted this page.

- Why?

- Can I restore it?

- How?

The notification mentions a deletion log, but I can't find it.

This page has been deleted. The deletion log for the page is provided below for reference.

 * Hi! Please see User blog:KyleH/The future of Central Wikia for why these are being deleted. If you would like, I will be glad to give you a copy of the text from the deleted page, but you cannot use it here at central. -- 12:58, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi! Yes, I would be very thankful for a copy of the text of the deleted page. What about all the sub-pages that linked to the main Scripture Engagement page? Can you get me a copy of their latest versions, too? Molare-wk 02:35, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's a copy of Scripture Engagement. I couldn't find any subpages of it, can you link to their delete log entry? -- 02:49, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Apparently the other pages were not deleted, just the page on Central Wikia. I found them still around. Molare-wk 10:06, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Somewhere
Is there somewhere Template:Brclear? I want to edit my page, but it don't work? Could you fix it?--Station7 15:28, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Seems to be a handful of wikis with this template, I've grabbed one at random for you. Hope this works! -- 15:31, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * But there is no page! How do you think it work?--Station7 15:37, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You need to copy the template from that wiki and create it here. Then put in on your userpage like this:  -- 15:50, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Edit toolbar
Can you tell me please what MediaWiki access the editing bar, on a project I want to take it, thank you!  Misterr Talk  20:18, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You don't need MediaWiki access to modify your edit toolbar. If you take a look at Help:Custom edit buttons, you can add your own buttons across all of Wikia. -- 20:50, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Mass removal of pages
There's a few more on Category:Disambiguation pages. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 06:44, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks! If you notice anything else, can you please stick them in a sub-category to the deletion category (e.g. something like Category:Blue box cleanup), so as to differentiate between pages needing looked at by local admins and pages needing looked at by the cleanup crew. -- 06:54, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 07:10, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

PROBLEME GRAVE

 * Arrêter de supprimer des pages et des catégories, le serveur ne trouvant plus les pages disparues reporte les connexions vers le moteur de recherche, et ça bouchonne et finit par bloquer tous comme cela et arriver hier soir.
 * Cela laisse aussi un nombre considérable de liens rouge dispersés un peu partout, pour que le moteur de recherche trouve ce que l'on cherche il faut qu'il y ai des données si vous les supprimés comment voulez vous que ça marche, et wikia n'est pas google, et même sur google il y a des répertoires avec les donnés sur les sites. C'est pas bien de supprimés le travail que d'autres on eu du mal à faire pendant des années, ça décourage et ça insite a tous laisser en panne. Toutefois si il y a des pages a suprimmés il ne faut pas les laissés en rouge il faut faire des redirections ça débouchonnera les connexions vers le moteur de recherche, même chose pour les catégories, moi je suis arriver a dire qu'il ne faut jamais supprimes une page mais toujours la modifier pour l'améliorer, la renommer, ou la rediriger, parce que vous irez aprés rechercher chaque lien rouge dans toutes les pages de tous les wiki, et sur wikia il y en a un paquet, je vous dit c'est plus normal de renommer et de rediriger que de supprimer ça ne bloquera plus, ni informatiquement, ni moralement vis à vis des utilisateurs.

 * Bonjour,


 * Merci d'avoir contacté le staff wikia mais pour l'instant, personne ne peut comprendre le français et donc vous répondre rapidement. Si vous ne pouvez pas les contacter directement en anglais, vous pouvez passer éventuellement par moi mais la réponse sera naturellement plus longue à vous revenir.


 * A propos de votre message, sachez que ces récentes suppressions de pages sont coordinées avec le staff Wikia. Toutefois votre message leur a été transmis et ils vont certainement trouver un moyen pour que cela puisse mieux se passer.

All but 7 pages are either not related or vandalism on. I don't want to adopt this wiki, just help move vandalism. 21:02, February 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've deleted those pages. When you're marking stuff for deletion, it's best to use something like a template instead of just blanking the page. -- 22:33, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * I suppose, just keep in mind that information is dynamic, Wookieepedia could change to something like Recipes or Warcraft. Or it could be a completely new statistic entirely. Just saying that editing it every single day everytime a few new articles are made is pretty silly. -- 16:29, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you.--Station7 22:27, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, but those are external images from other wikis, not uploaded ones. -- 21:17, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * How could I do the same as he? I want that to.--Station7 23:25, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * Where can I find this image thing? The thing you just showed me.--Station7 21:41, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * You right-click on the image and choose to copy the image location (e.g. the image url) -- 22:30, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * So if have to lick on Copy. And then? Or could you help me with it in some way?--Station7 22:50, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * After you copy, you paste the url on your page. -- 22:51, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * I did what you said.--Station7 23:01, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is what I meant, you can do that for nearly any wiki's logo. -- 23:26, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Maybe I asking to much, but how could I get under the pictures, thing like Admin, bureaucat or Rollback?--Station7 23:44, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I will doing that. But could you fix on my userpage the pictures, so that I have beneath the pictures: Admin, Bureaucrat of Rollback? I will take my time.--Station7 21:09, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I wish to volunteer for the Spam Task Force aka the VSTF. I heard that I may be able to volunteer for a 3 month trial. I wish to help fight Vandals. -- 00:23, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * As the help page states, the only way to get into the VSTF is to be involved. Wikia's community team will invite people who meet the criteria under the "How to join the Spam Task Force" section. -- 00:26, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

So you guys look across wikis to find people best suited for the job, I see. May fate see us meet another day. 01:09, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Remove me the bot flag
Hi, I need that you remove me the bot flag on w:c:dialgapoke. Please, 14:29, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can't do that. I'm not a part of Wikia's staff. You'll need to contact Wikia and to have it removed. -- 14:59, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion
Thank you, the Destroy all humans wiki has a slew a articles to be deleted. Thank you again for your help. 00:51, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

P.S they are already marked up. 00:52, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Battlefield Wikia
I know what you're saying, but it's for the good of the wikia.

There is nobody there to counter vandalism during most hours, and right now, there's an article entitled Poop. This just shows that the wikia needs another active sysop.

-- User:EightOhEight


 * Be that as it may, if the wiki has an active bureaucrat, Wikia's staff will not perform an adoption. Your only option here is to contact the bureaucrat directly and ask for admin rights. And btw the vandalism page was deleted a few hours ago. -- 00:00, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Nerf Wikia
I noticed you put up a page on the Nerf Wikia about all the spam/"Advertising" fictional squads. I just wanted to say thank you, however there is an issue that needs to be resolved, a user on that wikia keeps on whining when I mark his pages for deletion, mostly about fictional nerf guns, then there was the fictional squad...which got me really ticked. I'm assuming it's a 5 year old (my apologies for making assumptions) considering his horrible grammar. Every time I mark a page, he takes off the mark, I re-mark, he takes it off. I think he should be blocked from the wikia. I have already made an adoption request due to the fact that the wikia needs a MAJOR overhaul due to the fictional guns and fictional squads on there, the wikia has 107 articles, unfortunately, I can almost guarantee that the majority of the articles are fiction. If people wanna whine when their fictional stuff gets marked, they don't deserve to be on that wikia, we, or I (As it seems I'm the only one who cares) are/am there to give info on REAL guns and accessories, not advertise fiction.

I apologize for the long post. I also apologize for leaving a post without being logged in, my username is Shieldel

Bot request.
Hello, I'm from the Gaiapedia. First, thanks for handling the spam that happened. And I also wanted to know if your bot could be used to move articles from one category to another. I am a bit confused as to how they work or how to get the current bot on the wiki I edit, to do what I want it to. Bunai82 22:54, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Certainly, just let me know which category(ies) need moved to which category and I'll be glad to help. -- 22:55, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Is there a certain limit to the requests? It is rather large. I wanted to move the articles from the w:c:gaia:Category:Gaia_World to this category w:c:gaia:Category:Locations. Bunai82 00:42, March 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's no limit to the amount persay, just I'll work on it as I have the time. -- 00:57, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * First category is done. Can you list subsequent categories and such on my local talk page? To avoid cluttering central :) -- 01:10, March 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks again . When I clicked the link for bot request, I was lead here. ^_^;; But I will use the Pedia talk page next time. Bunai82 10:02, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

I want to know more about Wiki and its role in web development. I would also like to know of its' limitations. What language is it primarily? Who has the ball, what are the rules. Is there a golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules. To understand the special purpose of this Wiki thing, leave me a comment. Thank you.

Both the username and the last line in that blog comment make me suspect spam / advertisement orientated intentions and not a legitimate contributor. You're better at this kinda thing than I am, so if you don't mind I'll ask you to deal with it.

Re: Messages
I went to Contact before about adminship, back when Guy had been banned for a month for User harrasment (or sometime before then) and nothing happened. Like I said in the messages, someone has to put a stop to this guy and deal with him quickly and harshly. He isn't gonna stop until someone bigger than him puts their foot down.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 20:24, March 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Messaging random staff members won't expedite your cause. It just causes confusion because you're leaving messages to people who don't deal with these types of inquiries. Something like this is best left in the hands of the Community Team, usually through Special:Contact, as all of the Community Team read and respond to messages sent there. -- 20:27, March 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I didn't know that. I thought that all Staff dealt with all problems, like admins. I didn't know there were specialized groups for such issues. I merely messaged the staff members that I knew. An as I said before, I attempted to contact Staff members about the SFW before, and nothing happened. Someone really needs to deal with him and quickly, because the admins and crats on the SFW refuse to do anything other than just sit and watch. ...Do you think you could deal with him? I know this is sudden, but he doesn't seem to understand that an admin acts in the interests of the Users, not their own personal opinion on a matter. His harsh comments and uncensored cursing also get no excuse. He has been doing this pretty much as long as I've been on that wiki, and me and a lot of other Users are sick of it. So I beg you, do something about him. At the very least, revoke his adminship and give him a serious talking-to.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 20:38, March 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, I can't do anything other than to offer you advice and/or direction, not action. My role as a volunteer at Wikia does not cover issues like this. If the other admins aren't of any help, then Special:Contact is your next option. Please have some patience until someone replies to you.
 * And yep, there are a handful of different teams at Wikia. There is the Community Team who deal directly with the community, the Content Team who works with local communities on beefing up their wikis content and design, the Product Team who helps plan and design the new features that you can only find here at Wikia, the advertising team, the technical team, etc... Everyone who is staff has their own role and projects and areas of responsibility that they focus on.
 * Hopefully you get a response soon, good luck. -- 21:00, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

What should I do
Hey there Charitwo. I'm already waiting more then a week on my adoption requests for the LOST Wikia (not Lostpedia) and Sarah Manley didn't react on Bluethunder213 who had report this to her. I thought that adoption requests were always 2 days waiting. So now is my question, what should I do? Do I need to report it to Contact them?--Station7 20:30, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, we meet again. I put the request in for adminship at the Nazi Zombie wiki. I put it in ?? days ago and hasn't seen a reply. What should I do? Doc.Richtofen


 * As far as I know, there is no set schedule for adoption requests. The staff who work on them sort through them as they have time. They have other projects to which they are assigned so sometimes the adoption requests can get a little backlogged. The best thing to do is have a little patience and someone will respond to you. :) -- 21:00, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Signature

 * Help:Signature -- 21:10, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

What I meant was I want my custom signature that I have for other wiki's. By the way, my username no longer shows up when I put four tildes. 21:59, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Put this in the signature section of Special:Preferences: You can customize past that as you want. Joey (talk) 23:26, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Signature image
Hello, Charitwo! Martin signature.png was actually be used by Martinvs as his signature. Did Martin tag the image for deletion? If not, the image should be restored. Thanks –Fingernails (talk) 06:33, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * The image was marked for deletion because images are not to be used in signatures. -- 06:35, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Charitwo. It would help me greatly if you explained this with more detail.  Images in signatures are definitely "not allowed" in the whole Wikia site, or it is only here in Central?  I ask because I've seen hundreds of users with images in their signatures.  Is it possible that you point me to a set of rules that enforces this (for future use)?  Thanks, I'll appreciate it.  --Liliana (my talk). 07:08, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes. A note should be added to Special:Preferences because "The signature uses the same wiki markup that a regular page does, including links" doesn't really sound like Wikia has any protest to using images in signatures. It's not fair to let users assume they can use images in their signatures. Fingernails (talk) 07:36, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is no unified Wikia policy on images in signatures, and many established wikis allow them, but there is an old policy on Central against them. In general, particularly if you edit on multiple wikis, it's safer to not use an image at all to avoid problems. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  10:24, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * As said, I cannot speak for other wikis, that would be up to it's administrators and community. The only personal image you can upload on Central is the one for use on your userpage. Also, Fingernails, the bit on your preferences affects your signature for all of Wikia (just like the rest of the options in preferences). I personally have an #ifexist in there to define whether I have a custom or stock signature on the wiki in question, which allows you to use a more "flashy" signature via a template on a wiki if it allows it. -- 11:58, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. I've converted to markup (that looks best on a dark background, which is the design for the majority of wikis I edit), anyway. I'll be sure to tell my wiki friends ;)  Fin ger na ils  14:57, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * You're referring to the "directory" (aka. Blue box) pages. They were all deleted as part of changes happening here on Community Central...with over 100,000 wikis, it is no longer feasible to maintain so many directory pages or a manageable list of wikis. These listings have been deprecated for cross-wiki search, which you can search for content on wikis via www.wikia.com. Sorry for any inconvenience! -- 22:51, April 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The page wasn't being used a directory, it was being used as a wiki page with a lot of content that has now been lost to us. Could you at least recover the content that was unexpectedly deleted, completely unannounced?--24.104.98.2 23:04, April 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're referring to the page FI, yes, it was a blue box directory page...the text of which can be found here (the only contributor was the create wiki script).

--24.104.98.2 23:35, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

I put this in the adoption place but they don´t give me an answer.

 * Hi Ignacio! It looks like you followed Sarah's suggestion for adoption, so it shouldn't be too long before a member of the community team goes through the requests. They also have other duties and projects that tie them up, and because there are still so many things folks can do without admin rights, adoption requests are sometimes delayed until they have time to look at them...granted, yours is a special case since you're an administrator for one language wanting to edit the sidebar of another language which has no active administrators, so there shouldn't be an issue in getting admin rights there. Hopefully it will be looked at either today or tomorrow...if not I can see if I can nudge someone about your situation. Regards, -- 18:14, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

A Wikia War
Hello, Charitwo. You know me, Gamefreak75. Can you do me some favors? First off, can you check the I.P. address of User:StoobenRooben on the Mario Wikia. When you obtain it, can you do a wikia searchand see if there is any match to a user that has an account. Lastly, can you personally give me the I.P. address via email or my Kirby Wikia/ Pikmin Wikia talk page. I greatly appreciate it. --Gamefreak75


 * Hi. Checkusers or cross-wiki lookups are not done for frivolous or non-vandalism/spam related purposes, furthermore the results of which are not provided if the requester is not an admin of the wiki(s) in question. Sorry. -- 00:41, April 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh okay, so if an administrator over at Mario Wikia tells you about this, then you will check him. Also, it was vandalism, the user threatened to shut us down or vandalize every video-gaming wikia and he was also impersonating another user. --User:Gamefreak75

Blog posts/comments
Hey Charitwo, I was wondering if there's any way to remove blog posts/comments from the recent changes. Comments themselves take up two lines each, and when the subject of ongoing discussion, take up a lot of space. I've tried choosing "Blog" and "Blog talk" and then checking "Exclude namespace" in the recent changes, but that doesn't remove them. If there's any solution to this problem, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks! —<font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 04:50, May 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm unsure if there is such an option other than disabling the feature entirely. I believe that is the case for both types of blog extensions floating around here (one of which is default and the other is only enabled at particular wikis). You can try sending a message to Wikia asking if the display of comments in recent changes can be suppressed but I don't think they can as comments are coded as a "new page". Worth a shot though. -- 05:09, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
