Wikia - creating communities

[edit] IP adress!

Tell me the ip address of the following users, or ban that address: "TILT on rakas söpöhiiva", "TILT on söpöhiiva", "Rakastan sinua, TILT. Olet hiivani." etc. He has made dozens of users, and is trying to destroy finnish RuneScape Wikia. Help us! And when you ban the ip address, he changes the ip addresses you ban. What can we do? And please hurry!

--Penko 15:24, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Now his telling every1 one users personal details, he's breaking law, some1 stop this user. We don't know his ip adress, we can't do anything. We just ban the users he make, but it's useless, he's just making more users. AND HE'S CHANGING IP ADRESSES, HOW CAN WE STOP HIM?!

--Penko 15:48, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

If you need to contact staff quickly, it's best to use special:contact. It looks like TILT has already blocked the vandal and Uberfuzzy has blocked the IP address. Angela (talk) 01:32, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks but I try to use that from now on but what should we do if he's going to change his ip address? --Penko 14:16, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

You can block him again in the normal way, or contact staff to find out what IP address he's using. If it becomes a big problem, it's possible to lock the site down more. Angela (talk) 06:20, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Patrolling

Is there any way I can give someone patrolling rights without making them an admin? This would make life a LOT easier for me. I want to get some patrols, but I don't want them to be admins, too.-Neo ^{(T) (C) (Home)} 21:27, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure - it may be something that people with rollback have if you want to give out that right. Uberfuzzy is the best person to ask about user rights. Angela (talk) 06:20, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Smallville en español

I am recommending the user known as RoR-El as editor-in-chief of the Smallville en español wikia. I wish to continue as a contributing editor, especially in the area of education applications of the site. However, since RoR-El by his own account is not completely fluent in English, I am also willing to continue as co-editor-in-chief, if you need someone who speaks both languages, although I am not a native speaker of Spanish. Thank you. Krypto profe 83 17:24, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Do you need me to do anything? Angela (talk) 06:20, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Finnish translate

Hi! I translated New editor to my language (finnish) Wikia:International/New_editor_messages/fi Need I do something now? --Ilkea 17:44, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ilkea, great work. You don't need to do more with that, we're going to transfer your messages, so that all Finnish users will be able to see this feature in Finnish. We're just asking you for the last missing message which didn't substituted correctly later on. Thanks for the translation! Cheers, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 18:01, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

So is it something that I haven't translate yet? I didn't find anything... And I just repaired the spelling.... --Ilkea 18:17, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

This part was missing (due to subst-command):

'''New!''' Edit toolbar. See [[Help:New editor|help]] to learn more

Elsewise, it's fine. Great thanks, again. Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 18:20, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

It's

'''Uutta!''' Muokkaa työkalupalkkia. Katso [[Help:New editor|ohje]] lukeaksesi lisää.

If you want know it... --Ilkea 18:38, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Of course I want to know it. I'm appreciating your cooperation - thanks for all that! Yours sincerely, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 18:44, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help me!

Hello Angela, could you help me? I saw that Kyle not react, so I'm trying it with you. I'm administrator on Lost The Journey Wiki and I don't know how you can get that thing from that you're an admnistrator on your wiki. This is the same thing I wanna doing with Lostienumberone, but it didn't work. Template:Admin <- This is what I mean. So people can see that you're an administrator, thanks! Here is the link: http://losthejourney.wikia.com/wiki/Lost_The_Journey:_Administrators.--Station7 19:09, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Please help me with this problem. That would make my day very good!--Station7 21:03, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Have you seen this working on another wiki? If so, you can copy the template to here. Angela (talk) 06:20, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello Angela, I'm removed from my own site. This is nonsense, because I haven't put any rubbish. Could you please help me, because I hate that! From the site above you. I'm not happy with that. Could you something with that. Lostienumberone thit that himself. I'm removed for nothing.--Station7 14:47, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

This is not normal. I'm a administrator there and I'm very mad at him. Could you helping me back at the site? Look at the site by admnistrators and you don't see my name. If you know how to help me, please say it oor do anything so I can come back!--Station7 15:12, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you're still an administrator there. You are able to unblock yourself and speak with him and find out what's going on. --Charitwo^Talk 15:27, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

How?--Station7 15:30, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I already clicked on unwatch and maked it watch, but I can't still make any page or some others.--Station7 15:32, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I can't talk with him, have you some idea how?--Station7 15:33, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Have you tried editing his talk page? If you tell me which wiki you are talking about, I might be able to help. Angela (talk) 00:38, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

This is the site:http://losthejourney.wikia.com/wiki/LostTheJourney_Wiki. And this is his talk page:http://losthejourney.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Lostienumberone. He rem0oved, because I would copy things from LOSTman1234 from another wiki, something I would never do in my life. My English is maybe not the best, but people who read it could comment it by me and I have to except that. So he's telling nosense. Thank you Angela. I hope it works ;)--Station7 14:20, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Since you're an admin there, you can unblock yourself here. Another option is that you could make your own wiki about the same topic using special:createwiki. You can also find lots of other Lost wikis, such as Lostpedia in English, Dutch, and many other languages. See the Lost page for some of the other Lost wikis. Angela (talk) 23:36, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Angela, I'm unblocked. If he's do it again, then you hear it from me.--Station7 11:06, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A problem I'm trying to solve.

OK, first off, I am not involved with the wiki I'm about to mention in any way, shape, or form. I am simply trying to help.

We have a user on RS Wiki named Parsonsda who has made his own wiki, known as the "Kid VS Kat" wiki (He is a 'crat there, btw). However, one of the RS wiki users (named Stelercus) went over to KVK to try and help out. Guess what? Parsonsda blocked him for absolutely no reason, as well as trolling him on #wikia and arguing with users there that (paraphrased) "he owns the wiki, and doesn't think that anyone who doesn't know things about Kid VS Kat should not be able to edit". Clearly, this is violating the very purpose of Wikia...to have anyone be able to edit a wiki. Here is a list showing what he has done to abuse his powers:

• He created a sitenotice that pretty much said "if you win a YouTube contest I'm holding, I'll sysop you!" Not very smart, overall.
• Flaming Stelercus on #wikia, as previously stated. He also would not listen to any reason, and refused to admit that he was in the wrong, mainly saying things like "I'll think about unbanning Steler, but one bad edit and he's GONE (Stelercus, in fact, was simply trying to help the wiki, and did NOT vandalize at all, making Parson's actions into power abuse because he didn't like Steler to begin with)
• Placing several incorrect userboxes on his userpage, including one claiming that he was Wikia staff. Steler tried to remove these, but that was also a "contributing factor" to his unjust block.
• Finally, Steler tried to add a "Christmas theme" to the wiki, but that was also a "reason" for his block.

Overall, Parsonsda needs to have all of his rights removed (even rollback, since he'll likely try to rollback good edits that Steler makes). I would like to request that this happens soon, since we have evidence from his adminship request on RS Wiki that he's just power-hungry. I will keep Stelercus informed about your decision. Thank you! Template:Signatures/Stinkowing 16:08, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

If you need it, I have a copy of the chat log from the #Wikia argument, I can send to you if you need it. – Talk - My Wikia's list - New Wiki Watchlist 16:57, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

If it's just on this new wiki that he's doing it, it may be best to just ignore him as he's not hurting anyone by doing that there. Angela (talk) 23:39, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] add interwiki link to zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com

Dear Angela, Hoped sincerely you can give the assistance to link these two websites, respectively is;

"nn"=http://ikkjepedia.wikia.com/

"gl"=http://desgalipedia.org/wiki/Portada

Because this request had already communicated the very long time, had not been solved, hoped that this time can give the assistance.

Sorry, my English ability is not very good, hoped that cannot cause your understanding meaning difficulty.--黑底屍（☎找我☎） 19:46, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

ikkjepedia, gl.uncyclopedia.wikia.com, and zh.uncyclopedia are linked. As gl is already used for Desgalipedia on Wikia, the external site will not be linked. Angela (talk) 23:45, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

The question is gl.uncyclopedia.wikia.com can only be the website which abandons, and nobody is responsible to manage also nobody activity, although is Wikia decides the policy, but cannot force us to do invalid and not coordinated connection.

In addition the "nn" connection had also not processed, even if we already agreed that does not have any processing movement the connection to http://ikkjepedia.wikia.com/.

Whether please can and as fast as possible effective solves our request?--黑底屍（☎找我☎） 15:04, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Please can you use special:contact for this so all of these requests can be kept together? Angela (talk) 00:51, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I do not understand your meaning? I only am pure proposed that the system links the aid request, whether can the more detailed explanation special:contact function?--黑底屍（☎找我☎） 04:55, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Special:Contact is a form where you can contact staff. It helps to answer your questions as all of the discussion is then in a single place instead of many different requests on different wikis about the same problem. Angela (talk) 05:25, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

But my request just is the very simple content, only needs to contact the technician to assist to adjust links, moreover my question also not necessarily other websites can meet. Therefore please defer to the request to assist to solve.--黑底屍（☎找我☎） 15:07, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

The last time this happened, your request was very controversial and had to be reverted. To prevent this happening again, the request must be properly tracked by you only requesting it via special:contact. Angela (talk) 21:10, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

I cannot understand the question the dispute in? what difficulty does "nn" connect http://ikkjepedia.wikia.com/ to have? Moreover http://ikkjepedia.wikia.com/ aspect also approved that does with http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com bidirectional links.

In addition the Wikia http://gl.uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Desgalipedia now is nobody activity abandons the website, why can't the connection to have actually "gl" the content, and some person of editor's http://desgalipedia.org/wiki/Portada?

To use special:contact to respond that my request, Wikia will help to solve the problem? Previous time had already tried, the result is ignored.--黑底屍（☎找我☎） 10:33, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Password

A friend of my is trying to make an account. However it doesn't work for him. He copy's his password twice, but it don't work. So what has he to do?--Station7 13:54, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

I suggest checking the terms of use. If he is allowed an account and can not create one, then he should send details of what happens to Wikia staff. Angela (talk) 00:51, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Finnish translation

Hi I translated followings pages to finnish

Wikia:International/Welcome tool messages/fi

Wikia:International/Video embed tool messages/fi

Wikia:International/Add_images_messages/fi

Wikia:International/Page_specific_links_messages/fi

Wikia:International/Login_friction_messages/fi

--Ilkea 14:50, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll transfer those to the messaging wiki. Angela (talk) 00:51, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I would like to ask when these features come available to use in Finnish wikia's? --Ilkea 13:51, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

It's possible it won't happen until Jan 6th, 2010 because no more code releases are planned for this year. Angela (talk) 21:10, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Norwegian Uncyclopedia design-fix

Hi, Angela! I tried on Jimbo, but he wasn't a Wikia Staff, if I not misunderstood. He said that I should contact Sannse, Angela, or someone other on the commmunity team. I'm asking about we now can change the skin on Ikkjepedia to look like all other Uncyclopedias on Wikia - monobook! I want to have the same skin as the new created http://www.nn.media-uncyc.wikia.com. I don't want that the copy of Ikkjepedia, ikkjepedia.org which is on a Carlb server,shall be a hit. Mr. Floyd 16:52, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Users can select monobook in their own preferences, but it's no longer available as a default. The current skin on Ikkjepedia is the closest it can look to monobook. Note that Wikipedia itself will not be on monobook for much longer, so there's no advantage to switching to that. Angela (talk) 21:10, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

When monobook disepears on WP, what shall the new WP be then? When will it then happen? I think you're only fooling. And now you gotta change the skin here. Mr. Floyd 21:49, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] AbuseFilter and TitleBlacklist

Hello! Please install http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleBlacklist to http://ru.politic.wikia.com for prevent the regular vandal attacks. Thank you! --Толкач 22:02, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

AbuseFilter is still being tested and isn't ready for use on Wikia yet. I think the title blacklist is already installed as MediaWiki:Blacklist title list is used. If you need any help with that, Uberfuzzy is the best person to ask, or you can send a message via special:contact. Angela (talk) 22:22, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Users Lostienumberone and Awesomelost

Hello Angela, here am I again. User Lostienumberone and Awesomelost form an conspiracy to me, they think that I steal stories, what is not true. So Angela could you talk with them. Awesomelost blocked me this time. Lostienumberone the first time.

On the Lost site they said that they work together, later Lostienumberone and Awesomelost were deleted because they are vandalism people. So could you make a new unblock, so I could going further. Thanks! I'm not the one who lies, they are!--Station7 15:03, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

This is the site:http://losthejourney.wikia.com/wiki/LostTheJourney_Wiki. And this is his talk page:http://losthejourney.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Lostienumberone. --Station7 15:05, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

This is Awesomelost's talk page!http://losthejourney.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Awesomelost.--Station7 15:07, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

How could I block someone?--Station7 15:56, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
