[edit] Need a checkuser over at the CombineOverwiki
User:Doctor Hax is acting a lot like User:Mega Sean 45 who we banned a while back. I thought we got his IP as well but who knows.--YabbaMyIcing 01:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yup, match, but he's got dozens of IP's, so he's likely going though various proxies, or TOR, or something. --Uberfuzzy
02:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I see. Well, I have plenty of time with which to deal with his antics. I will also tell the rest of the admin staff over there to watch closer since it's likely he will be back. Thanks!--YabbaMyIcing 03:14, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Bureaucrat Rights
Hey Uberfuzzy, I was wondering, if/when a communtiy vote for the removal of Some users rights is passed on Linkin Park wikia can you remove the bureaucrat rights and admin rights for Saori. Also could you remove Jaredh d2012's bureaucrat rights but let him keep his admin ones? Chester Talk 15:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

The requests havn't been answered for a while. Can any wiki staff accept requests. Im eager to find out if i can fully edit my requested "adoptee" Smudger13talk 20:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Any staff can set the rights, but the people that monitor that list know all the proper policies/standard/things to check before approving someone. You can still edit almost everythign else on the "adoptee" wiki wihtout admin status. give it time, we are only humans (well, most of us, there is a few techs i never see offline that i wodner about...) :) --Uberfuzzy

[edit] Sonic Wiki Problem
We have found that the vandal "Lee Carvello" will leave a naughty message on the page that replaces everything but the sidebar! I'm the first one to figure out how to get rid of it, but with 1,822 pages it is hard to find out if there is anymore. The pages covered with it that i foud were Sonic the Hedgehog (Character) and Misty Lake. Can you help search the wiki?--It's Me Bixby! File:KnucklesMediumAni.gifTalk to B! 11:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
the correct wiki is the Sonic News Network.--It's Me Bixby! File:KnucklesMediumAni.gifTalk to B! 11:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- You can see all of the user's edits here http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Lee_Carvello
- There is a very active discussion going on on the wiki already about this, http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Lee_Carvello
- There are multiple active admins at that wiki, http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListUsers/sysop that can be contacted first with issues such as these

[edit] Hosting a .rar or .zip pack on PvXWikia
Over on [[1]], we've been discussing hosting a RAR/ZIP pack of builds that players could download from our site. Who would I need to talk to about enabling that (or if it's even possible). 17:56, 12 June 2009 17:56, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Not possible. FAR too much potential for abuse, both to the servers, and to the users. There are even deep hardcoded safegaurds that filter out attempts to add certain types (mostly all binary/executables) to the allowed lists. In theory, yes, we could remove them, but its still not something we're going to be able to get approval to change from the technical team. Sorry. --Uberfuzzy
17:59, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. We'll host them on another site. Thanks for the quick feedback. 18:01, 12 June 2009 18:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Missing page in AllMessages
Since there's no problem report feature for Special pages, I thought I drop this here. Special:AllMessages doesn't list MediaWiki:Monaco.css. It seems to apply Wikia wide.--AB 22:43, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Special:AllMessages does not list every mediawiki page on the wiki. it only lists the MESSAGES registered/hooked/exposed/loaded mediawiki core its self, or by extensions. There are TONS of ones that arent listed there. --Uberfuzzy
23:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
so are you able to help me?--ECWUSA1995 13:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Basically, Fuzzy can't because Special:AllMessages isn't supposed to list the Monaco.css or a lot of other MediaWiki pages. You can always find about the other pages on Wikia Help though. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar {Talk} 15:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Double show and hide linkage
Is there a bug in the system or did there a problem with the MediaWiki:Common.js? Sundogs E-Wrestling Encyclopedia | Soap Operas Wiki 21:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wikihunt
I'm the owner of manhunt.wikia.com - if you go to that site, it's pretty obvious from the get go that there is something wrong with the left hand side of the page. Where it usually says "Top Content" and "Community" it also says "Hi, I'm Aundre187 and I'm a pretty big fan of the Manhunt series...". I have no idea how it got there or how it get it off, And I'd love it if you could get that off of there for me. Thanks. Kperfekt BURN!!! Revert That! 04:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's caching the category (as you noticed) I removed the page from it... I'm not sure why it picked the random category, but if it doesn't update itself after a while...
- try categorizing main namespace pages, as far as I can see you don't have any acceptable pages categorized... I'm not sure why the user: namespace is picked, but assume it's probably because some wikis are of the community.
- if it's that big of a problem, you can remove it at http://manhunt.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar (note: only admins can edit the MediaWiki namespace)
- -- Sixorish 05:10, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Checkuser
There are numerous sockpuppets of Barn Owls Rule on Wikia, who is, as you've probably figured, Ben 100022. There are some definite sockpuppets, and a couple that I'm not so sure about.
[edit] Definites
- Barn Owls Rule (Obviously)
[edit] Possibles
- Unknown4 (This user behaves very similarly to DragonBeater, and even though he supposedly has no affiliations with the latter, he still seems set on getting the other accounts unbanned)
- Whitedragon254 (Personally, I don't beleive that this account is a sock, but the name means it would be safer to check)
[edit] Request
I would request that you or another member of Wikia Staff runs a checkuser on the users listed under "Possibles", and if my suspicions are confirmed true, block all of them who are found to be Ben. All of the users under "Definites" should be blocked straight away (they have all admitted to being sockpuppets evading the ban you gave to Barn Owls Rule - Wompus78
- Admins of a wiki can request checkuser runs. As for the blocks, talk with the admins of that wiki first, block should be done by local admins if they violate local policies. --Uberfuzzy
09:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I understand that, but the user which these accounts are possible sockpuppets of was given a site wide block, not just a local block - Wompus78
[edit] Stub Problem
I have a problem with my stubs on the Futurama Wiki. There is an article, As The Wormhole Turns, that is displayed as a stub even though the actual article doesn't have a stub tag anywhere on the page. Can yoiu help this? The stub category is here: Stubs. Solar Dragon (Talk) 11:32, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's just some fail cache. After a null edit, the page was moved out of the category. I recommend doing so for any other pages that are stuck in categories they shouldn't be in. Simply open the editor for the specific page, and then click save without changing anything. Cheers! ~Joey~ ^Talk^ 11:51, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] General Wiki assistance
Hi. I'm pretty new here in terms of thinking of creating a wiki and I was just wondering what wikis are allowed. I want to make a wiki for an original world, many actually, that I've made, but I don't know if I should make a new wiki for it, add a whole bunch of pages for it through Conworlds and Conlang...or Confan??? I'm not even sure if I should be posting here, considering this isn't about a bug or anything, but I get very easily overwhelmed with all of these wikis around....Please help me, if you can.--Lenighma 06:20, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Take a look at Wikia:Creation policy and most importantly Wikia:Terms of use --Uberfuzzy

[edit] Question Regarding Wikis...
On the Lemmings Forums, which I am active in, there has been mention of a Lemmings Wiki. It DOES exist, but supposedly it is dead. A question some people have is: would it be better to try and pump life back into the existing one or create a new one? I think it would make more sense to revive the old one, but I don't think feedback would be a dumb idea (though I won't be adopting or creating it, of course).
- That wiki itself actually isn't too dead so it probably would be better to join their community and try to revamp it rather than starting from scratch. It already has some good content and a strong base, so I definitely would recommend you and others to help revamp it. Cheers! :) ~Joey~ ^Talk^ 05:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Agree. If someone else posts in thread, it should be pointed out that the popular opinion is revival. I've actually created a few articles in that one, still waiting for the time when I no longer will have to be an anonymous user...
- Considering your extensive work, I invite you to take that step and create an account than can be used across all of Wikia (except Uncyc :() Anyway, cheers! ~Joey~ ^Talk^ 06:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] CSS problem
I'm having a problem with previewing a personalized monaco.css on the Domo Wiki. I've asked someone else, and she said it didn't work for her either. The only way to actually have a preview appear is by adding "!important" to each line. This has been a problem for a while, although I don't know when it started since I don't always touch that page. I've tried it on other wikis, and it previews correctly. I've tried it with different browsers, and it's the same. --D. (talk · contr) 14:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

- Oh, try putting those images on the wiki, and not externally hosted. see if that helps. --Uberfuzzy
05:41, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've just tried it (only uploaded the background picture and I've removed the other bits), it still doesn't. There's also supposed to be a slight change of color (like the wikia_header being a different color than the background), but it doesn't change either. It changes if I save it though (I just did it), so it's really only previewing that does not work. --D. (talk · contr) 05:52, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm a B-crat on The PC3 wiki Asking for help. On the Penguin Chat 3 Wiki, A new B-crat We just promoted, CPGuy3000, did something we did not give him permission to do. CPGuy3000 promoted Code1125 to a B-Crat also, Which we did not want him to do. We would like you to Please De-Promote Code1125 from his B-crat Status Back to just an Admin. Also, If you feel it is needed, You can De-Promote CPGuy3000. I feel it is needed for him to be De-Promoted as he is abusing his tools, which should be used to help the Wikia community.

[edit] Image removal glitch
Hey, Uberfuzzy, it's Miles (a sysop from SmashWiki). We've got a problem where several newer users as well as IP addresses cause images to be removed from a page. Whenever they edit an article or section where there's an image, it is lost when they press the "Save page" button. For example, see the history of Palette swap (SSBB), our current featured article. Even IP vandals are affected. Is this a Wikia problem, and if so can you fix it? Thanks! (Please respond on my talk so I see the response.) Miles (talk) 01:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

When updating licensing to CC-BY-SA-3.0, why some languages of MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning weren't taken affect?
for some example...
- MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-hk
- MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-sg
- MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/zh-hans
I didn't know in other languages were also.....???? (For example: es, pl, pt are currently OK, but zh-hk, zh-hans, zh-hant)
Should it be checked up? Rico Shen contact... 05:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- It's because whoever translated it didn't use "$2" for the license. That's why those messages didn't take affect. You need to translate the message and be sure to translate the actual message: "All contributions to Wikia are considered to be released under the $2 (see $1 for details)."-- BlueDevil Talk 17:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Possible vandal
Please help me keep an eye on the userpage of ChrisChanSonichu as he is obviously a sensitive person and at Wikiindex where I am an administrator I had to delete vicious obscene insults on his userpage. On his talk page I suggested Autism Wiki and the trolls who tried to trash his Wikiindex Userpage may follow him to Autism Wiki. Autism Wiki isn’t very active at the moment, so we may need to make sure that any vandalism is removed and the vandals are blocked promptly. I didn’t realize that the wiki isn’t active when I suggested that he go there. Proxima Centauri 16:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
