User talk:Dopp

==Bots (Support Request #151168) == Thanks for your reply. As my wiki does not have a community, I would like to have my bot account, Eladkse Bot, flagged as a bot so I can use it on Casualty Wiki (and if possible, Holby City Wiki). Eladkse @Project Holby 12:36, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Eladkse! Your bot flags are in place for both wikis. Enjoy! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:54, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Layton Wiki
Hello. First and for all thanks for the fast reply to my email, I never expected an answer before the end of the day! I shall do as you suggested and contact the owners and contributors of the other Layton Wikis to see if I can get a reply. I noticed on this page that an unregistered user used a Staff Tag, in case you want to investigate it). For the rest, good luck with being a Wikia Staffer yourself :) - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 22:08, March 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up -- i took care of it. If you see more, the best place to report it is at http://vstf.wikia.com. Good luck with the wikis! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:19, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Bot Flag
Could you give my account Grilbot a bot flag for Suite Life Wiki and Random-ness Wiki? Thanks in advance. Mr. Grille (talk page) 20:42, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please check with your wiki communities about your plans for a bot to make sure there are no objections, and then submit this request to Special:Contact with a link to those conversations.

Commentadmins?
Hi dopp, do you think it is possible to add a user group "commentadmins" on the complipedia? We have multiple users that we don't really want to give sysop status to just to be able to delete comments. I'd be really happy if you could :).

Eglinton talk  00:50, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Creating a new user group might require a change in the PHP - you aren't likely to get your own for just your wiki. Or if you can, they'd probably want you to send it to you via Special:Contact.

Hello Dopp. I am Jake R. It says i'm banend by a user named Angela for vandalism around all of wiki. I think this is a mistake. I never vadalized. I need help D:. I never vandalized, and this was right after I got my user name changed. I changed it from Tdifan24 to Jake R. I dunno what is going wrong. I never vadalized.

 * Hi Jake, can you post the full text of the block notice for me to review? (Or send it to Special:Contact and put "For Dopp" in the subject line if it contains any personal information that shouldn't be posted here).

About Licensing
can I not put a link and alter the articles alittle, I like changing/deleting some texts?WikisEditor 19:50, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

I want to say another thing that when they moved to their site, they took a copy of all the articles to their new site without providing a source to here, so I think its pretty fair we shouldn't too, when they do, we'll do too, please correct me if I am wrong.WikisEditor 20:00, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * If this is the GTA wiki situation, the way to attribute is quite easy. Just put as a notice on the top of the page, or somewhere noticable "this article uses content from grandtheftwiki.com" - and then a link to the diff of the article where you copied the content. To find a diff link, go to the history page, and click on the datestamp of the revision you copied example of a diff link. If you've got a lot of articles like this, you might want to create a template similar to Template:Wikipedia.
 * (edit conflict) When they split, they took all the history pages with them, this means that the edits have already been attribued by the licence. As you can't merge the history like that, the easiest way to do it is a link back to the diff that you copied from.  Random Time  20:04, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

 * >can I not put a link and alter the articles a little, I like changing/deleting some texts?
 * You can rewrite the articles so that they are in your own words. That requires a full rewriting, though... not just making a few changes.
 * > Is all this really necessary, what might happen if I don't do this?

 * Good work! We double-checked their attribution requirements, and your method meets their stated guidelines. Please make sure it's on every single page you copied over, including Templates and Image file pages (we don't see it on those yet. Also, i think you missed the Liberty_City/New_York_Landmarks page). Once you've take care of that, I think we can consider this closed.

The wiki activity bug
Hi pls take a look at this picture. It shows the bug on the Special:WikiActivity page that i notified you of before. There should be more activities at the last and there should be an option saying see more recent activity. At least this time most of the activities are there but most of the times only about three activities are present and sometimes the page is blank.

Thank you, Dopp
Hi Dopp, thanks for fixing the vi Phineas and Ferb wiki!

Oh, I would like to help Vietnamese people wikis translate some mediawiki extension and It has been done 13%. I don't know how does they will be enable and I will try my hard to keep translating. The Pop up create pages and some has been done.

Can you help me two thing? One is, I don't know where is the translating page type, like "Forum:", "Category:", "Template:",... I need change Forum: to Diễn đàn:. Second is: can you short my username? I need it shorter from XiaoQiaoGrace to Xiao Qiao (has a space between Xiao Qiao), that will give me the easier and familiar work on wikis.

I request to you for fixing this problem in vi wikia, the signup pop-up window has problems, when the people fill all username, it check right, but that username sometimes has been used by other people, that is the 1st problem, the second is language box to choose, I think when they click on signup in a vi wikia site, the language default must be Tiếng Việt, I try creating account in vi PaF wiki, the language seem Srilanka or Hindi or some things, that will make the Vietnamese people think that is the "normal" problem error when they want to sign up in wikia, some Vietnamese asked me why the error appear when they signup. I just tip them change their references. Can you check me all of these?

The Media Wikis are enable on vi wiki, now I can relax and feel comfortable wait the children and fans of two big ideas boys come to the wiki.

Thanks for help me, Dopp.

 * Hi Xiao Qiao! I'm glad things are working better. The best (and fastest) way to get wiki adjustment requests handled is to keep submitting them via Special:Contact.


 * For your namespace translations (Forum:, Category:, etc), please send me a complete list of all of the namespaces, and what their translations should be.


 * I just started your account rename process. It will take some time, and you'll get an email when the process is complete.


 * Can you give me an example of a username that already exists, that the Sign Up window allows you to enter? Can you fully create the account? A screenshot might be helpful.


 * I see how the default language on sign-up is unusual. That's a bug, and I am reporting it


 * I look forward to your responses to some of these questions via Special:Contact. Thanks! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:53, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Redirecting to Mirror Realms Games
Hi Dopp,

Yes, I've decided to merge the Puppet Guardian Wiki with the Magical Rooms Wiki, into a new wiki called Mirror Realms Games Wiki. I've done most of the exports and stuff, but the main thing still lacking is the images. It would be wonderful if you could transfer the images from those two wikis to the new one! One thing, try not to overwrite the ones that I've already added.

The permanent redirect would also be nice.

Thanks,

Hi, sorry I haven't been on wikia lately, but yes, I would love the help.

The reason for the change was that the previous two wikis are two different games, but the games use the same items, accounts, etc. so the info is very related. And almost everyone that plays one game plays the other, so it would be easier for them to use just one wiki. The discussion was just me asking many people about the new idea in-game, so I don't really have a record of that, sorry...

Again, thanks for your support!

Vanessa Brandon
Can you block the userVanessa Brandon in Degrassi Wiki again? It seems to me he/she doesn't seem get the meaning of Intimidating behavior/harassment towards his/her fellow members. He continuously posted harassing comments/intimidating comments at Jessica Tyler's page about another member. Can you please look at that, because he claims its his/her way of expressing opinions". All he/she is doing bringing trouble once again on wiki by mentioning and harrassing members.

Hi Dopp, I have send email to community@wikia.com and use Special:Contact, I use both of them! When I check the key access and recheck my mail, I see the support wikia can't read Vietnamese, so I add these namespace to your talk page:

Some things are not going right. Some mediawikis on my wiki doesn't work to me. Example: MediaWiki:createpage-dialog-message1, I have writen message to it, but when I open pop-up, I don't see my message, but when I change my account to vi, I can see it, why? Another example: MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning, when I write page, I see the copyrightwarning but not mine, when I try changing acount to vi, I have seen mine. Can you explain about that? I want to know about it and can you have any idea for the account vi to en, en to vi? Thanks Dopp.

Banned
I'm fine with the banned as long as you got lupo johns account to. He uses three accounts jayswife, Lupojohn, MarrissaDunn

And after all you will notice each account gets more active as the other fades. They also all have the same I.p adresses.

Excuse me
So i get blocked but he doesn't. Oh alright I'll just make another account on the degrassi wikia. @#!*% this @#!*%.

RE: one-month block
I will not push the issue, as you say any further. However, since you took the time to respond to my message, I do have a couple of questions that I would appreciate an answer to:

Is VB blocked? I heard he might be. If so, how long? I want to know this so I don't engage in any more fights with him.

Before Jayswife responded, why did she have to sit there and take all of what he said?

What do you propose I do about the fact that my real-life, non-Internet job is at stake? He got my cell number even after I blocked him, and, if he can do that, he can certainly get the number of my job.

That is all. I hope for us to be friends in the future, and I hope you're not angry at Jayswife. It's important she gets along with everyone. I am looking forward to your responses. Lupojohn 01:13, May 24, 2011 (UTC)Lupojohn

URGENT PROBLEM
I cannot believe you fell for his crap. After all the comments Jayswife sent you, after all the proven facts that were given to you about him, and you believe the lies he tells you. How does he have any proof that Jayswife and me are the same person? And he's just angry about MarissaDunn. You hardly ever see her on. I can't believe you'd be that gullible to fall for it. I wouldn't doubt you knew about his second account, and while you banned him for a year as well, you also let him go on the Degrassi Wiki, set me up, and now got Jayswife banned for the same length of time as me. I'm just in shock someone you would believe him. This is not over. Jayswife would like answers, so kindly respond, so I can tell her what you say. 172.162.197.94 15:30, May 25, 2011 (UTC)Lupojohn

Reply
I hope something is clear for you too, provking my rights from the wiki wasn't really a smart decsion, I haven't got the time to log in so I didn't reply back, I was going to deal with this once and for all, but I was surpriced by your massage. You didn't give me a chance to explain myself I was going to tell you that I am going to make a template called "Attribution" and this template will be added on top of any article that will be copied from any website, and will stat that this article was copied from where, the user will have to put it like this the example.com is the website that the article was copied from. Also I'll make a policy to stat that. Of caurse there is no proof that I will be doing that but I was, I don't have to contribute to the wiki for an extended period of time, then request to become an admin, I have done alot to this wiki already, I made a facebook and a twitter profile for it, I cleaned the contents, was trying to unite gta wikis together, I was looking for a new staff, I put an end to the disputes between users, I put an end to the vandals, I was going to get this wiki back on its feet, just check my contributions and see what I mean, if left or got banned this wiki will go down the drain just like it was starting to before I came. I'll start working on the template but I need some time because I am no every good in coding. As for the Latest News I will change the text to something else but I can't now as it is protected, I request the admin rights again.--WikisEditor 09:57, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Dopp, I wanted to ask is there a way to delete every page under a category?


 * I don't know of one, but it's possible I just haven't learned it yet. Try the user forums? --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:34, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

 * A bot like pywikipediabot should be able to do that. I haven't used one myself before though, so don't ask me how :P - Tjcool007 (Talk) 19:37, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Have you ever received any "bad" reports on the administration of certain Wikias?
Well, if not, this is the first one. Administrators have reportedly abused their power on several members of this wikia. I am one of them. I personally think it is wrong to edit other people's articles without their permission, and that is what they are doing on several:
 * David-010
 * Halo: Revelation
 * User:Kluutak/David-010

Also, check out this out:

The block was made by Manticore. Reason given: I dislike impersonators, stalkers, and other such fails. Start of block: 13:11, February 17, 2008 Expiry of block: infinite Intended blockee: Dark Energy Block ID: #2566 Current IP address: 68.63.244.238

Banned a friend of mine on Halopedia.

Another example of power abuse: User_talk:Xzan_Tamasee

I'm not asking you to do anything, except at least talk with them. They're not willing to own up to their mistakes as human beings, so if they aren't willing to do it themselves, I'll do it for them. --Kluutak 21:00, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * We try not to intervene in user disputes unless we absolutely have to (otherwise, wikis wouldn't have nearly as much freedom and cultural diversity). I recommend talking to the admins directly (or to other admins on that wiki) in a constructive way to try to reach compromises. You can also create a new wiki on the same subject if you don't think it's being run well and you want to do better. That said, we're aware that we don't offer enough reference or training materials for admins, and we'd like to work to change that. Interested in helping? --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:16, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Dopp, as one community manager to another, I can't in good conscience see you asking him for help in creating reference material for upcoming Administrators. This user has no sense of right or wrong and worst of all, not a hint of respect for his fellow contributors and Wikia as a whole. Just giving you a word of advise on that one comrade. However, I can give good recommendations from the wikis I frequent as to who would be good. Shoot me a message if you are interested! CommanderTony 03:12, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tony, its her decision. Now, sure, I might be able to help, and I'd be happy to if you are still interested, that is. --Kluutak 19:29, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, to be honest, I've got a lot of more important things going on in "real" life right now, I really don't think I could spare the time come to think of it. You'll be fine with Tony I'm sure. I apologize. --Kluutak 19:36, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Tony! I'd love to hear what you think are the main skills and strategies a new admin should learn (or who else would be good resources for that subject). --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 15:18, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't follow you. Dopp constantly asks people for opinions and even made a blog for it. That means she must be interested in listening to others. Why else would she do it? The action taken in the case above may not have been the one the user was hoping for, but does that qualify as "hardly listening"? - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 18:47, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Administrative how-to guide
Hey Dopp,

Absolutely i'd be interested. I've certainly had some good experiences and lessons as well as bad examples (both my own mistakes and internal/external misgivings) to draw from in order to help out Wikia. I think this would be a really cool idea that could be implemented Wikia-wide as a "welcome" message when one is given their Administrative privileges. If you'd like to hear some of my ideas, I can talk on here or you can talk to me on the various IRC channels (I frequent the #halofanon and #swfanon channels, both wikia-affiliated sites).

However, I must say that I apologize for my responses on this forum thread HERE. If I acted improper in confronting this troubled user about his anger issues concerning Halo Fanon and it's staff, again, I apologize. However, I feel like his actions on Halo Fanon are due partly because we were unable to contain a threat to the peace of our wiki, therefore I felt the need to try to calm him down in a more public setting. If it's alright with you, it is my recommendation that said thread either be locked to prohibit further aggression by the subject, giving him time to calm down or removed from the site entirely. I'll understand completely if you are unable to do so for policy reasons, i'd just like to help your wikia continue to stay relatively peaceful.

Well now that's out of the way, I look forward to conversing with you in the coming days and throwing our ideas back and forth about this New Administrator Guidebook!

Have a great day!

Bcrat glitch? not letting me assign power to people?
Hello I'm Freaking out! jk im sure you can fix me up.

i am the founder of starhawk.wikia.com when i go to try and give my roomate who is helping me admin privilages it says i dont have those permisions but im listed as a b-crat. i got blocked on another wikia because of a dispute over what video should be in a thread and me and a user kept changing it back and forth and instead of locking it i got blocked for 3 days and that person got promoted to admin and they just keep blocking me every day. could that be affecting me? and they should ahve just locked it not blocked me they are absuing new found power.. i have made over 90 edits on that wikia really sad. but that is the only reason i could think its not working can you help fix my bcrat stat. thanks for your help maybe its just a glitch. btw the whole thing was on a totally different wikia. ok now its say the page has no bcrat? maybe because i tried to give myslef rollback powers?

A quick question
Hey Dopp. I didn't think this was worth sending a message to Special:Contact about as it's not a major issue. I'm not sure if you're the right staff member to be asking, but hopefully you can help. I'm probably wrong, but there's a user on the Crash Bandicoot wiki who says (s)he's Wikia staff (his/her userpage here, and that he/she is investigating a former user who is being investigated for death threats. The thing is, I have doubts that he/she is a member of staff. I looked on Special:Listusers, and (s)he's not listed under staff. If you check his/her signature, you'll see that the blue "Wikia" logo that staff sign their posts with doesn't link in the same way as other staff. I'm also suspicious because a user account named "DaNASCATT" (too similar to Wikia staff member "DaNASCAT" to be coincidence) was created less than 5 minutes before. As I said, I'm probably wrong, but I'd jut like to make sure. Thanks --Klock101 15:05, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * He's not part of the staff, else he'd show in Special:ListUsers/staff. Not all staff uses the staff tag with link, but in this case it's probably not to betray himself. Don't reply to his messages, just report him with Special:Contact - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 16:11, June 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for reporting this. He is not a staff member. We will handle it. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:49, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Chat Help
Well, i thought i may have missed an update or something so i wanted to come here first before using the Special:Contact thing. Basically everytime i go onto the wikia chat function the only thing i can see is the basic grey line design, the text box, the wikia logo, my avatar and ONE post. this one post basically ends up starting with: Some numbers that usually start with 13 and appear too long to be an IP Adress. then the user name of the person underneath and whatever that person said. I cant even see the online user list, any other post or even my own posts. sometimes the "Astrotorical has joined the chat" doesn't even come up and when it does, it appears at the top of the screen as opposed to the bottom where i normally see it. so if you have any idea as to whats going on then please get in touch. if you dont know then ill use Special:Contact to see if i can get some help.

Hey Dopp! I'm Davide (cobra 11 italian wiki).

We had some problem of comunication.

Matteo (the admin of the copied wiki) has send tou an e-mail that I wrote (he doesn't know english) asking you to delete his wiki. Now he told me that you answered, but it was only the message that you wrote in his discussion page (please provide the link to the wiki you copy, etc.).

I talk with him, and he now will working on my wiki, so he wants to delete his wiki. So...please talk with me for this question, because in any case I will translate the email for him and write answers to you.

If it is necessary, i will make Matteo send an e-mail to confirm that he wants to delete his wiki.

The wiki that has to be delete is this: http://it.squadraspecialecobra.wikia.com

Thank you, Dopp, and sorry for all this confusion!

Let me know, Davide!

Reactivation of account Ngebendi
Dopp, greetings.

Around March 31th or April 1st I requested how to deactivate my account (Ngebendi, as above) and it so happened that you answered, telling me that an actual deactivation was irreversible and that an easier way to get the same result was to remove my email address from the account and to scramble my password. Around the same time I was promoted to council, and I distinctly remember getting an email by someone wanting to contact me about it "before it was too late" - which is the only quotation I remember from that message.

I'm not sure how I can identify myself in order to get a new password for this account, except perhaps providing you with my email address, my name and my birth date. Hopefully in a way a little less public than your talk page.

Thank you! Ngebendi


 * It would be worth emailing community@wikia.com, which is equivalent to sending a message to Special:Contact, except it won't log your username, browser, and wiki.
 * In the meanwhile, I realized that my reasons have more to do with punctured vanity than real willingness to rejoin the community. Therefore, it's better if I don't. My apologies for having taken up your time. Best regards, Ngebendi

Welcome Tool Bug
Hi Dopp, I sent in a message with Special:Contact a few days ago letting you guys know about a bug with the Welcome Tool but never got confirmation that you guys got the email or a reply so I'll let you know here...

I got a message from a user on the Hogwarts RPG Wiki about something so when I went to reply (I reply to messages on that user's talk page since I find it is easier for them) and noticed that the message was signed by an IP that had no contributions, no talk page, no user page no nothing. If you need to know the IP, it's 127.0.0.1 and also, it wasn't just one time. I've been noticing it for a while on other talk pages and just got welcomed by that same IP on a wiki today.

just an idea
I think Central should have a featured avatar contest once a year where you can nominate someone else (otherwise there would be way too many noms), staff narrows it to 50 ppl or somthin and then users vote and the winner gets........ bragging rights! :)

Well having a featured avatar is really no point except waste the staff's time, a staff member has a lot of work. TheBen10Mazter 00:53, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dopp. I was trying to copy the code at w:c:admintools:User:Head.Boy.Hog/SigReal to w:c:testadmin:User:Head.Boy.Hog/SigReal and it didn't have an edit button, so I had to put http://admintools.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Head.Boy.Hog/SigReal&action=edit into my URL box. And on here, I had to put http://community.wikia.com/index.php?title=User%20talk:Dopp&action=edit&section=new into my URL box because there wasn't an edit box here either, could you please take care of that?

RE: Forum pages
I see the problem has been fixed by User:Tjcool007. I think the issue was that there was not enough threads in the "Support Requests" to generate a next page link. Unfortunately until there are enough "Support Requests" threads, or even better - all "Community Central Forum" threads are archived - such annoyances might appear. There was a similar issue when the forum was moved from "Help desk" to "Community Central Forum". It seems they didn't come up with a perfect solution either, so I think we just need to wait it out. — Sovq 18:52, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

I was going through a couple of pages and was at wikia labs, i read next to chat this, "Instantaneously communicate with other people who love your wiki and your wiki's topic as much as you do!

About Snaily Wiki
Hello! A user created a wiki based on a video game I've made, which wouldn't bother me, except that they've decided to use my name ("Auriplane") for their account, and claim that they created all of the stuff they're uploading. This isn't true--they're uploading it without permission. What should I do? (It appears to be a violation of your rules, but I'd give permission if they asked, as long as they stopped using my name and taking credit...)

The wiki is named "Snaily Wiki", and it's about my game, Snailiad. If you need me to, I can demonstrate that I'm the creator of the game in any number of ways (like posting a message on my Newgrounds or Kongregate user pages--which I've already done--or by answering an email to the email address listed in the game, for example).

I don't really want to make a big deal out of it, but I did already mention it publicly, so it looks like one or two other users have already commented on there, and they seem a little more gung-ho about it than me. I also left a message on their talk page (on the Snaily Wiki), asking them to stop pretending to be me.

Anything you can do? Am I asking in the right place? (I'm obviously new to Wikia.) TrueAuriplane 09:55, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Community Central Theme
Hey Dopp,

With the new Admin Central having a different theme, I think the Community Central theme needs an upgrade. It should look like the new Admin Central. Here's a pic of what it looks like with some css I applied:

This would also look great with the new user profiles. What do you think?


 * Very creative! We actually have a meeting planned to talk about Community Central's next style. Will bring this image up in it! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:23, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Dopp.

Every second page in wikia I visit sends me a message saying there is an error and taht internet explorer has to close and reopen the tab. I just recently lost a load of info I was writing on the Fantendo wiki that I worked on for well over an hour. I would like to know if the error is in Wikia, or has something to do with my computer.

Thanks! -

Page Creation Pop-up
Hello, Dopp. I have a problem report: the page creation button under the search bar now directly goes to Special:CreatePage instead of bringing up the pop-up. But it will bring up the pop-up with the button about the main page. I don't know if this is global or only in my wiki, but I am currently implementing a new "Page Creation Portal" system for creating pages to make things more consistent. Since it seems logical that more people click on the under-the-search-bar button than the above-the-main-page button, I think it won't get the news spread much. Is this permanent, or just a glitch?

Admin dashboard
Dopp, do you remember when we talked on wiki chat about the new admin dashboard. There was major confusion over the blog post, and you clarified it for us by saying that it only would affect wikis created after the 20th july. When I said I fancied maybe seeing what it would be like when it came out, but my wiki was created on 19th july, you said you "asked around the office" and the only solution that all the staff could provide was to copy all of my content to a new wiki, because there was no way that the new features could ever be enabled on wikis created before 19th july. That sort of eased my mind about the new admin dashboard, and assured me I wouldn't see it on wiki 24, my main wiki. Why then is it now enabled on all wikis? Did "all the staff in the office" suddenly change their mind?--Acer4666 23:10, August 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Acer, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. When we last talked, Admin Dashboard was in the first phase of its roll-out, which meant it was limited to wikis created after a certain date. It was always meant to roll out to all wikis, though. If you go back to the blog post, you'll see there was a Release Timeline section that explained this. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:06, August 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * That blog post doesn't make it clear at all - it says on first week of august it will go on "existing wikis", not "all existing wikis". The confusion came when on July 20th, new wikis didn't have the features enabled, so we interpreted that post as "on july 20th, new wikis will (in august) have the features enabled. In august, those existing wikis will get it enabled". I said as much in chat that time, and I'm fairly sure you confirmed it, which is what led you onto that suggestion of copying all my content across if I ever wanted those features. It seems neither staff nor users really knew what was going on, which is why I don't think it was unreasonable of us to request a temporary rollback or at least option of turning it off.
 * The fact that the blog post doesn't mention a whisper of the fact it would cause widespread changes over existing special pages is another issue. I think clarity is the lesson to be learned from all of this--Acer4666 19:18, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Acer, you are right. My blog post was not clear enough. After much discussion today I have written a new blog post covering some of this. I hope that helps -- and if you'd like to discuss further hit me up on my talk page. --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 03:14, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
