How to upload an .Ogg file?
How do I upload an .Ogg file from Wikipedia to Wikia:Christianity? The file in question is. I tried doing as for an Image file but the software put mid- at the front and ogg.jpg at the back. User:Kathleen.wright5 from Christianity:Wikia, 06:20, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * P.S I'm using Firefox 3.5.3 which has HTML 5 (Open video) 06:28, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * rightClick+save on the link below the image, so you get the real url, not the thumbnail of the image part. its one of the rarely seen "mixed" ones, that has a thumbnail built into it. after that, you should be able to upload it like normal. --Uberfuzzy 08:27, September 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I did what you said, but it only shows up as a Wiki link on the article, I click on that and it opens in a separate page showing the video, but when I tried to play it, it did'nt work. This is the article section The Salvation Army#Music User:Kathleen.wright5 from Christianity:Wikia, 9:04, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for changing Image to File, but its still not working. User:Kathleen.wright5 from Christianity:Wikia, 21:39, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm. I wonder if they have a newer version of the ogg player, or we have some sort of other bug in our setup. I've filed a ticket for now --Uberfuzzy 23:07, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * If the file is incomplete I'll just have to delete it unless you know anything else that can be done. User:Kathleen.wright5 from Christianity:Wikia, 21:54, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Layout problem with Wiki-Logo in german unanswers


Hi Uberfuzzy. I've a little problem with the layout in german unanswers. Marc and I couldn't find the bug in the CSS and so he suggested to ask you with this.

The wiki-logo is not visible with Opera because it's hidden by the input box. It's annyoing because this is the only backlink to the main page. But it's not only a problem with Opera. If the browser window width is lower than ~1070px, than it's the same problem with IE, Chrome, Firefox.

In english unanswers you can see the same bug not until a lower browser width than ~840px, but in Opera the logo is displayed correctly (better: like the other browsers) at widths > 840px.

Do you have any idea how to fix that? -- 11:17, October 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * OK - it seems that you can't help me. Do you anyone who can help me? -- 10:29, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Help me!
In finnish RuneScape wikia, i dont edit that anymore. So, some kinda bureaucrats do question like that: "Suretko Aku ankan lähtöä?", what means in english: "Are you drone departure of Aku ankka?", and i dont like that question, because I am ashamed. So, can you please remove that question in finnish runescape wiki mainpage? Link= Please, help me! -- 16:24, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * You will need to contact the admins of that wiki first. --Uberfuzzy 01:19, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Template glitch
Hi, When editing articles at Might and Magic wiki, I come across a problem... upon confirming the edit, if there's a template in the article, it automatically gets moved down three line breaks without any input from me. They look so much better without the needless superficial spaces so I wonder if you have any insight on preventing this "feature" since I'm still a neophyte - thanks! --86.44.195.196 23:46, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Something help needs again, but not finnish runescape wiki
We needs help in the finnish mario wiki. So, can you please change that background style for MonoBook, because, our MediaWiki MonoBook is so good for that wiki. But anyway, say me, its impossible or no? -- 07:43, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, we dont offer monobook as the default skin anymore. You can set your own personal skin to monobook in your preferences --Uberfuzzy 01:19, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Bot
Hi! May you explain me how can I create a bot? I mean, I know I have to create a new user, but then? The bot I need is for this wiki. Thanks a lot! --Ophycloedius (msg) 16:29, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Changing font size
Hey there Uberfuzzy, s'been awhile since we last spoke. Firstly, thank you for fully removing my personal Wikia.

Secondly, and more importantly, it's been awhile since I've edited on Wikia, and I recently joined the DAN-BALL Wikia, and I've forgotten how to change font size.

Could you refresh my memory, and show me the proper code to use to increase font size? Thanks!  λ T 23:06, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Floating semi-transparent box in bottom right corner of page
Almost forgot to ask this. You've seen some userpages around here or on Wikipedia that have this box in the bottom right corner thats semi-transparent and is basically on top of everything, and it follows your scrolling and stays in the corner, right?

How would I do that? I've been looking all over Wikia & Wikipedia to find someone who has this box thing on their userpage or talkpage, to no avail. Help me, lol!  λ T 01:20, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Look at the fixed CSS position ~Joey~   ^Talk^  01:44, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Hey
At Zeldapedia we had a vote to chage the mainpage and it passed. So I went ahead and changed it, but there was a ton of white space at the top; presumably for ads. Is there anyway we can fix this to get the ads or whatever to appear and get the white space to vanish? If you could check it out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks. --EveryDayJoe45 02:58, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * http://zelda.wikia.com, right? I don't see a huge chunk of white space, but then again, I am using an up to date HOSTS file to block unwanted ads, and it seems Wikia's ads (all of them) are blocked by HOSTS. However, I don't know if you're using a HOSTS file, so I can't say for sure whether or not it's your HOSTS file blocking the ads and leaving a white chunk or not. It may just be that the ad failed to load and left a white space.  λ T 18:13, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I was on the wrong homepage. Also, I replied over at EveryDayJoe45's talk page on Zeldapedia.  λ T 18:26, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Explicit username just created
User:Deepeeme (Userpage not created yet) just registered, and according to my knowledge, DP means penetration Double penetration, aka, a sexual act. Just thought I'd let you know.  λ T 19:36, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Quick question
Im sorry to bother you, but is it ok if I can have my talk page here at central protected for 2 weeks to sysop level? This is because someone I blocked for breaking one of our policies policy keeps spamming it with "Forgive me, im sorry!" or "Unblock me" and it is getting quite annoying to get new messages here while I am editing at my home wiki.

Deleting Rechtsanwalt on Memory Alpha
Sorry for double posting, but today you deleted the page mentioned in headline. You commented "spam", but there was no reason for so I undeleted it. So how come you deleted it? Thanks -- Plasmarelais 13:26, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Funny, you also deleted an article with the same name on the German Uncyclopedia without good reason. NaturalBornKieler 13:42, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Easy reason: There was a spamming attack with the page Rechtsanwalt. He used a bot to delete it globally, so it also affected "the good" articles. There's no other reason for it, so please just restore it and nevermind it, it's happened due to a global deletion. Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ)   (Talk)  13:49, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for answering. But still I don't think it would have been too complicated to have the bot commenting these deletions a little more detailed, with a summary or for example adding just a small information on his local user page. Now there are people wondering for a deletion that is just not explained in any way locally. -- Plasmarelais 13:57, October 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * There were a small handful (3 or 4) false positives for that name, vs the hundreds that were spam. I'm sorry for not replying on my talk page sooner. I was ill and could not get on the computer much over the last few days.
 * I was not even aware that pagename was a "thing" or a non-spam page. It was being used by a spambot that was using many gibberish names, we did not have the time to check each name in many languages to see if it was a chance it would knock out a non-spam page. It was worth the risk of knocking out a good page or two. Any admin could just as easily restore it, or complain to us about it.
 * You say "to have the bot commenting these deletions a little more detailed". Please explain this, or what you think the global delete tool should do. It is very new, and does not have many features, so any feedback or complaints will help us develop it further. --Uberfuzzy 01:52, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I see you can't tell everyone what ist happening and I agree it is easy just to restore the deleted page. But maybe a little informationen cut be added to the edit comment. I missed the fact this edit was made by bot and the edit ist part of work in a wikia-wide range. Imo a good example could be: "Bot: deleting page reported as spam: w:Spam report/Rechtsanwalt" or something like that. But I know it's nearly impossible to have such details distributed when working on hundreds of pages all over wikia. Sorry for my rough complain, I would have taken it easier if I would haven known this was an bot edit :-) --Plasmarelais 14:35, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Ticket number 15954
Hey Uber,

I was just checking up with this bug. As a reminder, when an image is moved, it leaves a redirect, and the redirect shows up in Special:Unused files, even though the image it is redirecting to is being used. It basically floods Unused files with useless data. We discussed how you were seeing it not as a bug, since the new name of the image isn't used anywhere, thereby making the image actually being unused while the redirect is being used.

Anyhow, my peeps asked about the ticket status, so I figured I'd ping you. :)

Thanks!

Spyware reports
Hi there. I've gotten a couple instances of spyware reports and popups on the Channel Awesome Wiki People have reported that popups are emerging and giving people spyware. I'm not sure what to tell them other than it isn't our fault. It's the ads. Is there a way this problem can be resolved since administration from Channel Awesome uses the site. Thanks in advance!

It could also be something from the spotlights, or ads that are stalling out your page from loading, such as if you have an incorrectly setup adblocking system.

Hi Uberfuzzy

Sorry to disturb you once more: My message of yesterday oriented you to my Talk page. This was an error: I stated my problem on my User page.

On the other hand, I just found a page in French (Utilisateur:Uberfuzzy - Memory Alpha), which gives potentially useful indications in my mother language (French) concerning Wikia and the syntax of Wiki.

Star Wars Fanon
Hey Uberfuzzy. Why is editing with an IP on Star Wars Fanon now disabled? I don't recall anyone on SWF ever asking for that, nor do I recall there being a reason for such a setting being activated. If you could let me know, that'd be great. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:07, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Its not directly. What is enabled, is that a confirmed email is required, which since its impossible for anons to have an email since they have no preferences... they cant edit. This was done to stop most of the vandalism issues that were happening all summer. It keeps out all but the most dedicated vandals, since they have to create new accounts, and verify their email before they can edit. --Uberfuzzy 20:57, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

I'd rather have Assaulthead/Babylon vandalize every so often than have anons lack the ability to edit. A small but dedicated portion of the wiki's activity comes from anonymous users, and it's a shame that they're no longer allowed to edit because of one vandal. After all, you don't need to have an account to edit, even if it is encouraged. Is there an ETA on when this measure will be disabled? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:00, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
