I can't upload favicon or logo to Pleo wiki
I upload it. It says that I have uploaded it, but the image does not change! Please help! Sh ee p m a n ! Sheepytalk 21:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, it sometimes takes a while for your browser to pick up a new favicons... I can see it OK. Try clearing your cache - for firefox that's: "Tools" > "Clear private data" > check "Cache" > "Clear private data now".  For IE use "Tools" > "internet options" > under "browsing history" click "Delete..." > "Delete files"
 * Hope that helps -- sannse (talk) 17:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

No it doesn't. Sorry. Sh ee p m a n ! Sheepytalk 19:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Inactive Bureaucrat.
Hi Sannse.

I am one of three Bureaucrats from Bully Wiki.

The other two are Megabuster who requested and started the Wiki, and McJeff who I made into a Bureaucrat a month or so back.

I was wondering if you could take away the Bureaucrat flag away from Megabuster, who has been inactive ever since he requested the Wiki and has never made a contribution yet. Dan the Man 1983 04:02, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Plus we took a vote on this over there, and the results were 2 for, 0 against. Dan the Man 1983 13:30, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, that's done -- sannse (talk) 20:01, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Necyklopedie (Czech) is asking for assistance
We need a technical help.

1. We need the button "Save Page" (in Czech "Ulozit zmeny") to be active only after the unregistered user has filled the Summary field.

2. We need the setting in "My preferences/Editing/Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" (in Czech: "Nastavení/editovat/Upozornit") to be ticked (filled in with the check mark) by default for all registered Users. Which means that every new registered user will be prompted to fill in the Summary field. Any unregistered anonymous editor should be automatically prompted to fill in the Summary field as well.

Compile asking for help on Dewback Wing Wiki
Hello, I am having trouble with two things so far.


 * 1) I am setting up a infobox that can be filled in, like the one that I have up at Richard Tan.  However, I am not getting it to look right.


 * 1) I am also having trouble understanding how to edit the MENU for the content I need.  Can you show me an example on that perhaps?

Thank you.

--Compile 13:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, This is on the dewbackwing wiki?
 * If you are using the new editor then you can click on the template in Richard Tan, and you will see several fields to fill in. That should give you a good looking info box.  What you are using at the moment is the code:


 * Which isn't set up on dewbackwing. What you need (if you use source mode to edit) is:


 * But using the new editor is easier.
 * Which menu do you want to edit? I'm not sure what you mean there.
 * -- sannse (talk) 20:45, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

On the infobox, I used the new editor and not all of the info is showing. How do I set up an info box page, cause I do nto understand the pages I have read. I have what I think is one up, but I am not sure if it is even right, and that can be located at the following link Character Infobox. If is the menu to the far left where you can search for pages, but I figured out how to do it.

Thank you again for your help.

--Compile 16:46, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Infoboxes are not easy to create. It looks like you got the one you copied over to work in the end (from the deleted page) but I know they are tricky things.  We are trying to improve the system to make them a lot easier.  In the mean time, you might want to stick to using Template:Infobox, rather than the more complicated ones.  It means you have to type in each title line (as in the example above) but it does mean it's easier to get everything in.  I'm glad you found the menu part! -- sannse (talk) 13:02, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Education Wikia
Hi,

I would like to put in a request for User:Fasten on the Education Wikia. Unfortunately, I really haven't been as attentive to that wikia as I needed to be, as Education is not one of my strong points. I came on board because there was a fair amount vandalism at the time. Since the last Bureaucrat left, and the remaining other active project left, Fasten has been doing the bulk of the activity. And he does know more about the subject than I do. Now that he is interested in being an Admin as well, I would like to be able to facilitate his promotion in status. --Kirk 00:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, I see Catherine has done this for you -- sannse (talk) 17:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Chip2009
Hi, I am an Administrator of Grand Theft Wiki. I'm just letting you know that your Wikia-wide block of User:Chip2007 and User:Chip2008 has recently been circumvented again using User:Chip2009. See his GTW user page, as it says his real name is Martin Owen (the same as 2007 and 2008). I have blocked him on GTW, but it's up to you to enforce the Wikia-wide block. Thanks! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 03:19, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm not going to chase Chip around Wikia :) if he's returned, and doesn't make the same mistakes again... then I'm happy to ignore him ;) -- sannse (talk) 17:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
for the talkpage note --Paul Arblaster 21:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Password recover
Hello, My friend, user:אבונטו מן in the Hebrew uncyclopedia had forgotten his password. He tried the Email password recover, but it did not help. I’ll be glad if you will be able to help us. Thanks, Doly.
 * Hi, if he can email community@wikia.com with all the details, we can have a look. Possibly he made a mistake in filling in his email address.  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:15, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

A problem
A user recently joined Custom Bionicles, but then created a new account stating he "didn't like his old account".What do you think I should do? It is a case of sock puppetry,after all. The user's two accounts are:


 * (Takua) (new account)
 * Old Story Bionicle Fan (original account)

-- The Oracle  02:54, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't consider this a problem at all :) it's really only "sockpuppeting" when people pretend that the second account isn't theirs. And as we can't currently change account names on Wikia, this is the only way to change your nick if you don't like it or make a mistake.  As it's clearly marked that the other account is him, there is no deception involved and I'd say this is fine -- sannse (talk) 14:17, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

CheckUser
Hello Sannse, on RuneScape Wiki we've been having a bit of an issue with this troll (creating spam pages, impersonating users,offensive material, etc.), I'd appreciate a check user to discover his IP range. Here is a list of a few of his accounts: Many thanks!--Azaz12919:05, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * WillSmith
 * ToiletLucky
 * Sdfsdfsdf
 * Iuckytoilet
 * Jason Ginn
 * Jason Gin


 * Hi, I've blocked the two IPs he's used (one was blocked, but only for anons). If he pops up again, then please let me know, and I'll look to see if he's switched IP.  -- sannse (talk) 18:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Desysoping
It is with a heavy heart that I post this, one of RSWiki's admins Stinkowing, has requested to have his sysop privileges revoked. Also, I'd very much appreciate you commenting on this discussion here, many thanks.--Azaz129


 * Hi, I'll looking at the discussion on Stinkowing. On the other, unless there are copyright or other similar issues involved, then it looks like a matter between the game makers and the community -- sannse (talk) 21:38, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Request for Adminship: Star Wars Miniatures Wikia
This is a just request for adminship over on the Star Wars Miniatures Wikia. I only ask for this because I'm planning on fixing up the wikia and then introducing to the SWMinis community. And also because the only administrator there hasn't been seen for over a year (judging by his contributions to the site).

Thanks, and hopefully you get back to me soon.

P.S. Please leave any replies on my talk page at the SWM Wikia. Thanks.

Darth mavoc 09:51, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Replied at SWM as requested -- sannse (talk) 21:38, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Sannse. I looked at the link you gave me, and I'm endeavouring to meet the criteria. Seeing how I have to wait a bit to be able to request for adminship, is it possible you can unprotect the main page of SWMWiki? I'd like to be able to spice it up, and make it more interesting. Thanks again! Darth mavoc 23:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, that's no problem... done -- sannse (talk) 08:48, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Uh, I'm having slight trouble getting a couple of templates to work on the SWMWikia. Can you help me fix them? Or do you know anyone else who is good at template construction. Thanks, again. Darth mavoc 22:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

You blocked me?
Hi Sannse. A few days ago I requested to Azaz129 that a user impersonating me should be blocked. Thanks for imposing an IP block on my school. Unfortunately, you also seem to have blocked me as well. Maybe this is because the impersonator had an account called luckytoilet (Lowercase L) and you mistook him for me. I can't contact Azaz129 himself because I'm blocked on the Runescape Wiki, but I'd appreciate it if you could help me. Thanks. Luckytoilet 03:04, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've adjusted the block and left a message for Azaz129 to explain. The problem was the shared IP between you and the vandal... I guess you have some interesting classmates ;) -- sannse (talk) 09:10, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Logo
Hey Sannse,

I know you're kind of good at graphics, so I was wondering if you could help me get some of the "fuzz" (useless transparency) off our new logo at Custom Bionicles wiki.

The link is.

Thanks,

 * Nevermind, a friend got it done. Sorry!-- The Oracle  16:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Favicon
Hi Sannse! Can you make a favicon for Foldapedia? 'Cause I'm having trouble making one.

 * Sure :) I've made you this one:
 * Think it's OK? You may need to clear your cache before you see it in place on the wiki -- sannse (talk) 15:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Request: Hoping you can answer
Hi there Sannse,

On December 6 this request was denied: http://requests.wikia.com/index.php?title=Kota&action=purge

Although I can understand the reason, there's something that puzzles me. At least one wiki was created for an individual RuneScape Clan in the past: http://darkriders.wikia.com/wiki/

I'd just like to know why that wiki was created for an individual RuneScape Clan but my request for a wiki for my RuneScape clan was denied. I have been trying to contact the staff member that denied my request since the day it was denied, both via her talk page and email as well as the talk page for the request, but I have still received no response. I am posting this on your talk page in the hopes that I can get an answer.

Thanks, Soldier 1033 00:18, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. Requests is something more of an art than a science... so sometimes we get things wrong, and sometimes the guidelines we work by change over time.  In this case, we started the Darkriders Wikia in January 2008.  By June, someone had requested a wiki for all Runescape clans, and we had seen that clan wikis tended not to grow well.  So we started trying to see if it would work better to combine clans in one wiki, accepted the Runescape Clans wiki, and started asking new clan requests to go there.
 * It might turn out that this isn't the best solution. We are constantly talking about how to best choose the wikis we accept, and hope to have a new, improved, system next year (details once we work them out!).  But one thing to remember, we can always split off content if it starts on a more general wiki and grows well.  So a section on Runescape Clans could be a stand-alone wiki if it takes off :)
 * I hope that's helped, and sorry you didn't get a reply before, we are all a bit here-and-away over the holiday period -- sannse (talk) 15:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikination
PLease take off the moderator rights of User:American Eagle on wikination. He does very dictatorial things also please delete somee pages and restore some pages and also unblock some users. Also unprotect some pages Pierlot McCrooke 14:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Bot for CBW Wiki
I was thinking about creating a bot for Custom Bionicles Wiki. The purpose of this bot would be to add a template to every page listed on Special:Wantedpages. The reason I need a bot to do this instead of a user is because there exactly 1000 pages listed there. Now, I'll probably have to create the bot framework after Christmas for personal reasons, but maybe I should start by creating the bot account?
