Noreplyz

ok i would appreciate if someone could unblock me on killer bean wiki though

Hello!! So Noreplyz isn't the one who blocked you, so he can't unblock you. You should contact the user who blocked you.

LordTenebrous2 is the admin on Killer Bean Wiki who blocked you. Please contact him directly via his message wall here on Community Central (no need to contact Fandom Staff).

Hi PLSnotme101, I've already told you that I don't really buy your version of the story due to the fact that you vandalised multiple times using 2 different accounts (which isn't allowed in the first place). I might discuss this situation with the other admins on Killer Bean Wiki, but I personally don't think that your 1 month ban will be lifted. 

I'm not noreplyz, but I do want to say.. I don't really think the absence of a single letter is really grounds to say that "Fandom is not internationally friendly". I understand its not the way you're used to seeing it written, it but it's still a correct way to spell it and it's likely the case that Community Central, since Fandom is based in America as you said, would want to retain that standard.

No, I am actually asking, if there is a fandom preference or not. So as not being staff your response is moot to the point of my post. Also, could you imagine how much edits of 1 letter could amount to—no matter if it is adding or dropping in the long run, which is why I said many Wikis adopt both for this reason. Just wanting the official stance for future reference.

Noreplyz isn't staff either.

There is no platform-wide standard for the use of either American or British English. As per Community Central:Spelling and grammar, any mainstream usage of English is acceptable, but if American English is used for the rest of the page, such small "fixes" are completely acceptable (doesn't mean actively searching for it). In general, it's possible that most help pages reflect American English due to the staff members and wiki team members (who re/write the help pages) and the largest userbase coming from the US.

Oh in that case how do volunteers have the authority to make that call? Or was it an assumption?

How would you feel if you were corrected out of your edits by continuous adding or dropping of a letter indefinitely back and forth? Most would feel undermined or insulted.

Just surprised there isn't official word on this (that I know of). I am not upset or anything just very curious because this whole time I thought it was more or less the policy similar to the link I provided.

@Mendes2 Thank you I was searching for that (as "spelling to use") but search seriously didn't give me that page... So I am correct and more or less it was an unneeded "fix".

You know I asked the same thing some time ago because the inconsistency in spelling in pages had me confused but got no reply https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:2070359 I was looking for some guidelines somewhere but couldn't find anything, glad you asked

I believe that in Community Central, we generally stick to American English - this is based on precedence, and based on Mendes' comment.

The reason why I made the change was because I also had recently edited that page as well, and thought I had written that text (since British English is used where I'm from).

Apologies for not responding to your message by the way - I don't know how it got skipped.

Np, I just wanted some sort of official clarification. I myself have a wiki that embraces both since my wiki has international brands but heavy on America but still have Canadian, UK, etc. brands. I am use to British English but spell check is in American English its is definitely something that interests me and something I daily have to switch and balance out to conform to the Brands' spelling.

I think the apologies for not responding to the message is directed to me, if so thank you for apologizing it's very nice of you. I'm happy to have answers now thanks to everyone in this thread :)

@Tamirobson. Oh sorry, I assumed someone responding to my thread would have been responding to me; since there was no otherwise indicated individuals mentioned by name. Especially, since it was a late response in comparison to the other volunteers/helpers. Just glad we both got clarification on this matter :)

I assumed since you got a reply the same day, Noreplyz was saying that to me, since he never replied to the message I sent on december 25, but you are right so I'm sorry for making any assumptions, now I don't know anymore xD also glad we got some clarification finally, so thank you Hollowness for bringing attention to the issue :)

It was meant to be for Tamirobson, but I guess it can also be both :P

Ok, thanks for clarifying that Noreplyz :)

Hey there, yes there are many volunteers on Fandom, and there is generally a clear line between volunteers and employed Staff. Staff are paid, either have contracted hours or work part time/full time, and receive benefits required by American law.

Volunteers don't have a set schedule or set number of hours, and they are all willing to spend their time for free to help out on Fandom. There's generally no requirement to actually do work, though if people are inactive for long they can be removed from the volunteer role.

We basically do it because we either find some benefit from doing it (for example, I build tools for volunteer teams to make their lives easier - and this helps me work on fun side projects and build my coding knowledge) - or they enjoy the community and want to give back to them, more than just from editing or being an admin.

Ah, okay, thanks!

Do you know about Flora from Thomas and Friends.

No, I do not.

Please stop socking.

Noreplyz, please globally block this user and their IP address.

Why don't you know about Flora.

I don’t watch Thomas and Friends okay!

Now please, stop making these alts.

Can you look up Dodge from Thomas and Friends.

I did. Please, enough. None of us want to hear about this. Please find a better use for your time other than creating alts and messaging users nonsense.

What Thomas and Friends Characters do you know about.

I did. Now please stop making these alts and find a better use for your time.

What Thomas and Friends Characters do you actually know about.

Thomas, Gordon, Percy, James, and the conductor guy.

Do you know about Theodore Tugboat.

NO!

Please leave me and everyone else alone and stop making socks.

Please globally block this user and their IP address.

They have. Like 20 times. This has already been reported.

Ok. Can you just global block those two users? Maybe also put a block filter on the name like with BedBeetle.

I guess this is like BedBeetle 2.0

Not sure if that is possible.

Oh it isn’t? I wonder why they could do it with BedBeetle but not with Isobella. Either way Isobella seems to be the next BedBeetle at this point.

Maybe it is. Like I said, I'm not sure, I'm not really the greatest at tech-related stuff.

Ok.

Noreplyz can't grant you rights on these wikis. The adoption requests currently are closed and may open mid this month, so you'll have to wait for them.

With that said, I'd recommend reading the adoption guidelines on Adoption:Requests. Per them, there needs to be a 90 day period since you last received administrator rights on a wiki. That's why your Bravelands Wiki adoption request was rejected, and you also can't go with multiple adoption requests at once.

The adoption criteria also requires that the administrators have been inactive for 60+ days. This makes the The Adventures of Puss in Boots Wiki ineligible for adoption, since the bureaucrat you mentioned was active there just yesterday. You'll have to contact her to request administrator rights.

I already asked her for admin or content moderator rights, but she said she will never give me any rights because I asked for it, and she doesn't want anyone asking for rights. There is so much supposed to be done on the wiki, and she barely does anything. Isn't there anything you can do about that?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much anyone else can do about this situation. You could of course ask another admin, but generally admins will tend to agree with each other on things like this, so your best bet is to work hard, be active, and prove that you deserve the rights you are seeking. 

Ok. Thanks anyway!

I'd also recommend bringing up your concerns to her about how the wiki needs work requiring adminstrative rights and elaborating what exactly these aspects are. Maybe it may divert her attention into taking charge of the work needed and/or help her understand your intentions behind asking the rights better. Hopefully you both can figure the matter out somehow! 🙂

Thanks. I'll try my best.

We're already getting along better on the Puss in Boots wiki, The admin on the Braveland wiki came back and gave me admin and bureacrat rights, and I saw that one of the active users on the Watership Down wiki is a content moderator, so I can ask her to delete pages if one has to be deleted.

Also, can a content moderator give any moderator rights to other users?

No they can't. 

Hey, I've deleted all these pages. If you'd like to do more cleanup on the wiki, I'd recommend adopting the wiki.

thank you!

Hi! Not Noreplyz's, but I think I can help with this one :) Changing your username color is something that's done in MediaWiki:Common.css. Change the #color to whatever color-hex codes that you want it to be (the current color codes are a light neon blue).

The code is as follows:

a[href$=":Softmilk"],
a[href$="/Softmilk"] {
color: #C3F9F6 !important;
text-shadow: 0 0 1px #42B5C9, 0 0 1px #42B5C9, 0 0 1px #42B5C9, 0 0 1px #42B5C9, 0 0 1px #42B5C9 !important;
	font-weight: bold !important;
	font-family: Arial;
}

where do i put it in?

Stick that on your wiki's Mediawiki:Common.css page

Hello! I'm not Noreplyz but I can help you out with this one!

On Legacy wikis (which is really just Community Central, and the dev wiki, and very few others), you can go to Message Wall Greeting:JupsZzz and whatever you put there will appear at the top of your message wall.

This feature is not currently available for UCP wikis, which is what all wikis including this one will end up on, but there is a dev script for it if you wanted to add it to your own wiki.

Wow thank you!

It's good to let them help out - it means that you're sharing the workload between you and the others (which is great!)

Okay, thank you, I just wanted to make sure that it's a good idea and way to work together and just wanted to make sure it wasn't me doing everything myself. Thanks :)
