Logos
Sannse - The logos are GREAT! They don't all meet the 10 foot guideline, but I'd like to use the one you created for Cities. I don't see a way to move an image page. Do I need to download it and re-up-load it as wiki.png? I lose the history that way, but we still have the original image page, so I guess that's ok. (Please let me know if there's a better way to do it.) Would you be willing to create a favicon too? Thanks! --CocoaZen 01:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Christian Community Meeting Please
Hi Lisa, I just checked into the Christianity Wikia, as w:c:Christianity:User:Ermeyers, and I left a message for the founder Nsandwich, who I later found out left Wikia to go somewhere else because of some Google issue, and now it appears that these want-to-be people are completely messing up my personal religion's message. All that I'm asking of you is to come over to my talk page at w:c:Christianity:User_talk:Ermeyers and give me your highly respected two-cent personal summary of what the heck is going on with these people. Thanks very much, Eric. --Ermeyers 00:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for coming over Lisa
I'm going to talk to the User named J.J., about the default forums, and I'll get back to you, or whatever. I just know that you know what you're doing. Thanks for everything, as always. Eric --Ermeyers 20:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Weird Message Notification
Good evening,

Everywhere I go on any wikia, I get a notification that I have a new message waiting at uncyclopedia, but when I click on the link to read my message, there's nothing there. Am I the only one having this problem? How do I get rid of the notification? You can respond here or on my talk page at Wiki24. Thanks. -Kapoli 05:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Kapoli, we turned on a new feature yesterday, that is supposed to give notification of messages across all wikia. It seems there are a few bugs still - Uncyclopedia has a different user database and so shouldn't be on this system.  Hopefully this has been fixed now, you may need to refresh (usually Ctrl F5) to clear any, but then you shouldn't get more from Uncyclopedia.  Please let me know if you do.  thanks -- sannse (talk) 09:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Forum request
Hi Lisa, I've listed the layout of the two forums and two subforums that I'd like to start at w:c:Christianity:User_talk:Ermeyers, so could you come over to discuss the subforum implementation with me. Thanks. Eric --Ermeyers 16:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll leave this for a few days to see what the community says, and then set this up -- sannse (talk) 07:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks Lisa. --Ermeyers 12:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Jack Kerouac Wikia request
Hi Lisa, I was asked to check in with you regarding progress on my request for the Jack Kerouac wikia. I have so far filed an application (on 8/5/06), requested mentoring (Danny has replied to this) and am still waiting for approval. I have also posted my game plan in the proposed wiki section, although I cannot find the page at the moment. Thanks for your help. Kerojack, Argenta 20:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Kerojack, I've got the reply to my email you sent, and I'll be making this wiki today. Sorry for the delay! -- sannse (talk) 07:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to adopt this Christianity Wikia
Hi Lisa, For your information, I wrote w:c:Christianity:Christianity_Knowledge_Base:Community_Portal. Eric --Ermeyers 22:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, this needs time for the community to respond. You might also consider contacting the current admins to see what is going on with them and if they are intending to return.  I have to say that it is a bit early in your time there to be asking for admin, and very early to be asking to adopt... especially in an active wikia.  I recoment talking more to the community and finding out what everyone wants. -- sannse (talk) 07:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Again, Thanks Lisa. Yes, I'm still trying to find the new center of power. I'm not worried about getting admin, because I've got two good friends named Lisa and Angela, who I trust very much to see the right thing to do for a particular Wikia.:) --Ermeyers 12:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Forum troubles at the Psychology Wiki
Hi Lisa. This is Jason, one of the administrators over at the Psychology Wiki. Yesterday, I tried setting up a ToK discussion forum. (ToK stands for "Tree of Knowledge." This refers to a psychology paper on the theoretical unification of psychology.) Anyways, the forum isn't working right.

1.) Lifeartist submitted a post here, but

2.) There's no record of it at the Forum Index, and

3.) There's no record of it nor access to it at the ToK discussion forum.

I don't know how to make this work properly. Could you help me out here? You can leave a message on my talk page at the Psychology Wiki. Have good day! Jaywin 23:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Replying. --Splarka (talk) 02:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Desysopping request
Hello Ms. Carter! There's trouble at the RuneScape Wiki and I'm appealing to you for assistance. Recently, one of our administrators User:Shadowdancer has decided to sabotage the Wiki. He has been attacking other users:, , , , , . He is overprotective of his edits, and does not understand the concept of ownership on a Wiki. Twice has blocked users for "engaging in an edit war" when in fact they were simply adjusting his edits:, and. Most recently however he has spuriously blocked several users for "making [him] angry" and "defacing the Wiki as much as [he] can". . All users are tired of his abuse of power, and only minutes after the incident a few users have openly supported a desysopping:,. While he has at times been a beneficial contributor, other editors agree that his quick and continual lapses into rage are no longer worth standing. I do have I haven't bored you and hope you will revoke his administrative powers before he chooses to return and destroy once more. Hyenaste talk 00:24, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know Hyenaste, please see the RuneScape Forum for more. ("Ms. Carter"? heh, "sannse" is fine :) -- sannse (talk) 06:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppet check
On SWFanon, I think Darth Xaroggus is a sockpuppet of JheremEBoodle, but I can't prove it. Could you check the IPs? Bub 15:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikia and alternatives
Hi Lisa - I attended the Craigslist Foundation Non-profit Boot Camp on Saturday and consulted with three techies on how to improve my Wikia site. Briefly, they don't think Wikia is the best path for me, and suggested other routes. I've posted my notes here and would like to get some feedback from you and other wikifolk. Thanks; Leo|Talk 13:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I have a request for a new admin on my Wiki (Final Fantasy)
TacticAngel was nominated to co-admin with me (by myself, I'm already an admin), and he has no objections. I'd like it if you would please come down and admin him. Thanks! Crazyswordsman 03:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. And I've given you bureaucrat rights now, so you will be able to do this as needed in future.  I encourage you to find more admins, more is better than less for a growing wiki.  Good to see all you are doing, great work! -- sannse (talk) 06:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

user blocked
Hello, could you unblock me on polish_uncyclopedia. I have been blocked because, I promised I'll never edit it again (because of one of sysops (her way of treat other users was the only reason of starting Wikihumor, independent "userfriendly" alternative for polish uncyclopedia)). I tried to talk with this sysop - her every single responce is deleting my talkpage (because of "trolling" and vandalizm), and write "please do not feed troll". Well, she calls it trolling - IMHO her behaviour it is a censorship and violation of Nemo iudex in sua causa rule. And one more thing - when Wikihumor was born, sysop I'm talking about, put forward a proposal of negotiations - during whitch she wrote that "soon Korwin will be able to candidate for sysop, because he has over 350 editions in main namespace." Ofcourse, only if we deside to delete wikihumor... And I'm not the first person who believe that Szoferka is extremely biased, and her typicall response for every kind of critisism is to block user and to call him a vandal. Korwin 11:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * User has been blocked becouse of personal attacks, spam, trolling, vandalism and again for forceing ban. Lol. Szoferka 11:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This anwser is typical for Szoferka. To call somebody vandal and troll. To responsce content-related arguments with single "lol" (once she she was called oaf because of that on polish wikipedia..). These "personal attacks" are only seen by Szoferka - no other sysop blocked me ever. Whats more, before I was completly censored on nonsensopedia by Szoferka, few odder admins told me, that they do not believe that I'm vandal, troll etc., but they don't want to mess with Szoferka. Korwin 11:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

PS for the record - the cause of block is not "vandalizm, spam and trolling" but "user promised he will never edit nonsensopedia again. I believe that this block will be useful". Korwin 11:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Both, I've asked Emil to look at this, hopefully he will be able to very soon. -- sannse (talk) 12:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

about Gropedia and Neutron
You could desysop a user:Neutron on Gropedia? I'm a founder with a small experience and I make the mistake making this user sysop. Jakub910

DPL issue on scratchpad

 * Heh, I'm such a total IRC newbie. Ok, I admit, I'm new to using DynamicPageList.  Trying to figure out if I'm a crazy or not. :)  Take a quick look at these two pages and then cast your crazy vote.  To me it looks like something is busted on scratchpad with the way the dates are displaying. Thx.

Just A Few Questions
Hi Sannse, I have a few questions regarding my potential new wiki, if you have time. I don't know if you review the requests or not, but I thought I'd try anyway. First, does the site have to be NAME.wikia.com? Obviously Uncyc has its own site name, but I'm guessing Chron did that on his own and had to pay...Secondly, when/if the site is created, will I have bureaucratic rights, so I can add sysops and what not? Thirdly, I know it says 7 days at a maximum, but how long will it usually take for my idea to be reviewed? Also, If you do review requests, I dont think I included everything about the potential site. If you need a broader explanation, feel free to ask. Basically, it will be a humor site where almost anything is allowed, so long as its not extremely offensive or hateful. I think I could really make this work, and I am committed to doing so. Please let me know regarding these questions/concerns. Thanks for your time, --Sir Cornbread 03:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've been looking at your request today and have sent you an email. Let me know if you still want any of the above questions answered -- sannse (talk) 20:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

*sigh* More trouble at Star Wars Fanon
There is a new user called Licorice that has a striking resemblance to Darth Vacatour. It was a striking enough comparison for me to ask an admin about it. Since StarNeptune isn't on, and you've edited recently, I thought I could just ask ip you could check whether Licorice is who he claims to be.

I hope I'm not wasting your time. 22:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Now the user is swearing at us and claiming to be Neomessiah. Bub 22:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiJazz
Hey there Sannse. Just replying to the question you had on the jazz wiki site, and my answer is: there aren't a whole lot of online comunities that I can get contributors at (other than the music wiki) but I have plenty of colleagues who would be willing to assist us. They all LOVE jazz, and have already told me that they would help. I hope that answers your question. Now, let's get this baby up and running! -Lord vader1414 02:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, we'll give it a go. Although to make it a success, you will need to look further afield for contributors.  Promotion is a big part of starting a wiki.  I will make this in the morning -- sannse (talk) 21:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

WGC
I just logged onto the WGC and saw countless pages vandalized, the worst part is that Gnosis, under the name Knowledge&mdash;at least I think it's him&mdash;took a part in it. Please ban the people who did that. I'm going to start reverting the rest of it right now. Thanks! NKSCF 20:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

What and where is WGC? If it's on editthis, Wikia has nothing to do with that, it's a different hosting company. -- sannse (talk) 21:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Kuralyov is wasting his time
Please tell Kuralyov to stop hunting Crumb. "Crumb" is already blacklisted, and he is wasting his time. Kowakian 22 00:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Can you give me more details please? What wiki is this on, and what is happening? You are right that "crumb" is blacklisted on Wikia. -- sannse (talk)
 * This is something which happened on Wookieepedia last night: I suspect if you do a checkuser, you'll find that Kowakian 22 is using an IP address similar to some of the users on Wookieepedia's recent blocks. Some of them are Crumb usernames, which had been preemptively blocked but came back to edit their user talk pages.  Some of our admins blocked them just in case.  We can give more details over there if you want. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

sysop
hello. please desysop me at ZelDelet


 * Hello, What's the problem? Is there anything I can help with? -- sannse (talk) 07:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't cooperate with User:szoferka :( ZelDelet
 * Sure he can't. He is inactive since June 18, also the voting has start few days ago. And last, but not least, he made there 48 edits in half year period. Szoferka 11:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Fron what I can understand, the vote is only about bureaucrat rights? And the concern seems to be about inactivity.  So, ZelDelet, it looks to me as though there is room to talk about this: to agree to be more active, and to keep your sysop rights.  Of course, if you are sure you want them removed, then I will do so. -- sannse (talk) 11:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Bot Flag
Hi, you mentioned that there is such a thing as a "bot flag" to hide bot edits so they don't flood the Recent Changes. I'm interested in getting one of those. I switched all the sidebar tables on Wiki 24 to templates, and since we use sidebars on some 800 pages, my husband wrote a couple of programs to convert the pages and then upload them to the site. We've already done episodes and actors this way, so now we just need to do the much larger category of characters (500+ pages). Please advise on my Wiki 24 talk page. Thank you! --StBacchus 05:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * repy at Wiki24 -- sannse (talk) 08:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, I put up a notice in the Situation Room, and no one seems to mind. Unless you think it should stay up longer? If everything seems fine to you, the account to be flagged is Kryten 2X4B-523P, which I figure sounds sufficiently robotic. I'll also include a note on the userpage. --StBacchus 11:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * All set. You can now bot away to your heart's content ;) Have fun -- sannse (talk) 13:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

RSS Feed
Sannse, I really see that changes in Side Bar on tools section, and I know that even me cannot change it, must be some admins trying something new. It displays RSS and Atom Feed For a while but now it's gone again,.... and to tell you the truth,.. the feed works.

I like the idea of RSS Feeds, and quite dissapointed when I see it gone again,... I think it should be put into consideration of adding RSS Feed to the Side bar.

Thank you, Agus_elex_2006

PS: Oh, I have filed the "bug" report in http://bug.wikia.com just like GreenReaper advised me. But bug or not, I really like the idea. Please conside it.


 * Hi Agus, are you sure you weren't looking at recent changes when you saw the RSS feed link? That's always there, and does work well.  There is also a rss feeds available for Special:newpages, but not yet for changes to a single article. -- sannse (talk) 08:21, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sannse, I maybe looking at recent changes but I maybe not as I don't remember the page, but I do remember seeing it.


 * I'm not sure then, I think you looking at recent changes is the most likely explanation. We would like to provide more rss feeds, but as far as I know that's not something the technical team are working on at the moment. -- 07:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Gaiapedia (Gaia Wiki)
sannse, you said that you could give me bureaucrat status on the wikia I administrate at any time I need it. Well, I've got A bot prorject finaly underway (There are to many major repetative things to fix by hand on that wiki) So I intend to give one of my 2 bots sysop status myself, and I also have a possible linking with another wiki, so I would also like bureaucrat status in the case that I may possibly give sysop status to the administrator of the other wiki.

Also, since makebot isn't installed on wikis I need the two accounts on my wiki to be given Bot status (Don't worry, I don't intend to run them unsupervised) the two are GaiaBot and GaiaBotSys (I wish interwiki linking was working) dantman 07:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi dantman. It was Splarka you were talking to about this, I've pointed him towards this message.  Interwiki linking does work, from central you use w:c:wikiname:article name .  Outside of central, you expand thw w to wikia, so it would be wikia:c:wikiname:article name -- sannse (talk) 08:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Damn... your names are to similar, sorry. I read everything about interwiki linking there is arround, but none of the methods work from the central wiki, I'm sure w:c:wikiname:article name works from projects. But from central I can only get wikiname to link to the main page, nothing else works on central.

our code is "gaia":
 * wikisite:gaia:2004 wikisite:gaia:2004
 * w:c:gaia:2004 w:c:gaia:2004
 * Wikia:gaia:2004 Wikia:gaia:2004
 * Wikia:c:gaia:2004 Wikia:c:gaia:2004
 * wikicities:gaia:2004 wikicities:gaia:2004
 * wikicities:c:gaia:2004 wikicities:c:gaia:2004
 * c:gaia:2004 c:gaia:2004

One of those should link to http://gaia.wikia.com/wiki/2004 but none of them work.

While we're on the subject on interwiki linking, how would I get a external wiki onto the list. We are possibly linking to another wiki about the same site but I have a stong feeling that the porject is not on the map because it's a privately made one. http://www.gaiacast.com/wiki/index.php/Plotwiki

dantman 08:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The second link down, w:c:gaia:2004, works just fine for me. What page do you get to with that?


 * On external wikis, we have an interwiki map that we can add to. That will make the link work on all Wikia wikis.  The page is at Interwiki map.  Just give me the interwiki name you want, and I can add it -- sannse (talk) 08:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Whoa, sorry. I have been checking so many different possible links so I have been using the url in the LL of my browser when I hover over that link you gave it gave me http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/c:gaia:2004, but when I clicked on it it worked. Ok, well the wiki we are possibly merging with is called the "Plotwiki" at the URL " http://www.gaiacast.com/wiki/index.php/ " so for when the community gets back on the final decission (I have a strong feeling they will agree with me...) we should be able to link with Plotwiki:ArticleName (Plotwiki:ArticleName) and I have a feeling that Plotwiki is not already in the interwiki map, and a google search finds no other wikis with that name (Note that "http://gaiaonline.pbwiki.com/" is actualy the old URL for the Plotwiki, not another wiki) so I'm sure that "Plotwiki" should work out good as the Prefix. dantman 09:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll sort this out later today. The update script may not run for a while, but when it does, links will work -- sannse (talk) 09:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. I don't realy need it at the moment, so it should be finished by the time the community has made a decission on how to do it all. Now I'll just wait for Sannse's reply on our bot topic, and Angela on the Namespaces. dantman 09:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * You mean Splarka ;) he's replied on your Gaia talk page -- sannse (talk) 09:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Arg, these names are killing me. 2 Admins with names identical at a glance. Actualy, he has replyed, and I have been made a buerocrat, but we are prety much discussing Bots, because I have a point in the future where I will need a bot with sysop cababilitys. I put the long reason on his talkpage. dantman 09:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lisa! I just saw a Google ad for Muppet Wiki... I know you and I had talked about that a while ago. It looks great; I was excited to see it! -- Danny (talk ) 19:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Translation of Wikia's Main Page and Copyright Page to Bahasa Indonesia
Hi Sannse, I have translated Wikia's main page and copyright page to bahasa Indonesia. The link: Halaman_Utama and Wikia hak cipta. Please see it and please make appropriate adjustment to the links in other language's translation of those pages. Can the main page in Bahasa Indonesia be the default main page for users who use "id" as their language preference?

Thank you, --Agus elex 2005 21:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks great, thanks for that. There is no way to automatically redirect people to that page depending on their preferences, but we can add it to the "in other languages" box on the bottom on the sidebar.  You will also be able to link to it of course.  Thanks again -- sannse (talk) 07:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Matrix Wiki
Since the recent change from matrixfilms.wikia.com to matrix.wikia.com, we can't seem to upload images properly. Pleas see http://matrix.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Upload for detailed error message. -o.r- 18:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting us know, I've reported this. It's right at the top of the list, so hopefully will be fixed soon.  Sorry about the problem! -- sannse (talk) 19:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Has there been any updated news on this problem at all? It seems to have been ongoing all week, and is kind of cramping some of my edits to the wiki... Also, what would be the ease/availability of making me an admin on the wiki, The others float in and out, but I seem to be the only one there on a regular basis still. -o.r- 15:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, the problem is right at the top of the technical/community to-do list. Which means it should be done soon.  But there are often site-wide issues and work in progress that means the technical team can't get to these things straight away.  I'll let you know if I hear more.
 * On admining. I see that three admins are in quite often, and have been there recently. So the best thing to do is to discuss it with them and the rest of the community.  If they agree, then I will admin.  It's only when there are no active admins or community that we tend to chose who to give the admin buttons to.  Usually it's up to the community. -- sannse (talk) 20:08, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Darth Coldheart
I was talking with the ex-vandal. He seems to really miss editing SWFanon, and I wanted you to ask him to unblock him. I mean, the promise that he made that he wouldn't vandalize might not be true, but he's really begging. Could you please give him another chance? It's really not that hard to ban him again if he does vandalize. There's more info here. --FireV
