You should probably mark my bot accordingly. I bring it with me to every wiki I visit. It's name is [[User:TheSeeker|TheSeeker]]. It just took care of the transclutions of a deleted template.<sup>__</sup><font face="script">[[User:Neo of ZW|<span style="color:Green">Neo</span>]]</font><sup>([[User talk:Neo of ZW|<span style="color:Red">T</span>]])</sup> 01:24, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

:Heya - the help is certainly appreciated, but in general we don't mark bots too quickly for people new to the wiki - it is of course nothing personal, but since it hides the changes from the RC list, it can be a little dangerous if the bot does something unexpected. Are you planning on coming to the site frequently, or just as general help around Wikia (either of which are great)? {{User:Kirkburn/Sig5}} 10:20, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

:::That's okay - how often is it likely to visit? {{User:Kirkburn/Sig5}} 10:08, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
::::I'd say probably once a week. I periodically check each wiki I use and I usually run the bot to do cleanups while I'm online. I haven't run it again because I had some issues with it recently, but I finally got it fixed up. It's a big help to have one around, plus you can always see his edits by checking show bot edits, and I always monitor him as I run him in case there's any issues.<sup>__</sup><font face="script">[[User:Neo of ZW|<span style="color:Green">Neo</span>]]</font><sup>([[User talk:Neo of ZW|<span style="color:Red">T</span>]])</sup> 21:23, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

== Welcoming ==
 
 
Hey, I hope you don't mind, but I'm setting your username as one of the ones for the bot to sign with when it welcomes people. I don't need 'em comin' to me about stuff :P
 
 
Yes, it does welcomes. I can make it put the <nowiki>{{subst:Welcome}}</nowiki> and then sign with a username. But anyways, just wanted to give you a heads up.<sup>__</sup><font face="script">[[User:Neo of ZW|<span style="color:Green">Neo</span>]]</font><sup>([[User talk:Neo of ZW|<span style="color:Red">T</span>]])</sup> 01:04, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

:::::Not really a big deal. --{{User:Pcj/sig}} 01:26, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
Yeah, I don't think we really need a welcoming bot - Wikia's is fine (and I'd rather fix that if it has issues ... being a Wikia employee and all :) {{User:Kirkburn/Sig5}} 12:53, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== 'wikia' wikis ==
 
 
A comment on SWM's talk page got me looking at foreign language wikis and 'translation links'. (Perhaps you could expand on the issue there?)
 
 
First time thinking of it, and had to search to find where we mention [[wikis]] in other languages. Added a comment to that page to the effect of "this looks specifically like an endorsement of wikia, against NPOV". Even if wikia hosts the vast majority of wikis, even if we ourselves are hosted by wikia, I don't think we should be in the business of promoting wikia as 'better' than other wikis. Which is precisely how I feel the page presents non-wikia wikis.
 
 
Yes, this results from changes 2 full years old (your 5-6 July 2007 changes). But even so.
 
 
I would like to emphasize that it took me a bit of searching to find the link to that page. Any chance we could make it more visible in some fashion? --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 22:57, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== suggestion for problem reports ==
 
 
I don't know if Wikia has entertained tweaks to the system or not, but it might be a good idea to consider enabling the ability to review and mark problem reports as a [[special:userrights|user right]]. Something like "Problem report reviewer". That would seem a technical tweak, but I think it would aid in increasing its usability for any given wiki. --[[User:Sky2042|Sky]] ([[User talk:Sky2042|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Sky2042|c]] · [http://www.wowhead.com/?user=Skyfire w]) 17:46, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:I approve this idea =) {{User:Coobra/Sig4}} 18:03, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 
::Probably could be tied into patrollers. --{{User:Pcj/sig}} 19:08, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:Interesting thought, I'll ask around. {{User:Kirkburn/Sig5}} 19:10, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:Master Uberfuzzy tells me it's about two seconds work to implement, and attaching it to the patrollers group would be no issue. {{User:Kirkburn/Sig5}} 19:18, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

== TreyAlliance6 ==
 
 
IP address collision. Apparrently TreyAlliance6 and I are listed on the same IP for some reason. There's no relation between us. The blocked IP was 10.8.2.112. Note that [http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Sam_McPherson I am not alone]. It seems like a networking IP mask issue of some sort. --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 22:01, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:... And it clears itself up again. This has happened to me before, and is getting to be a non-trivial annoyance. --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 22:03, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Considering that IP address is not a public IP, this is probably a Wikia caching issue. --{{User:Pcj/sig}} 23:11, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 
::I'm now experiencing the same issue. Interestingly, it has only recently begun affecting me; I was able to edit articles up until about ten minutes or so ago. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 23:43, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

== 2 things for our lord [of Wikia] ==
 
 
# Would it be possible to have WW and WT mapped to Project and Project talk using http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespaceAliases ? I'm pretty sure there's a maintenance script to run too, in case Wikia isn't in the habit of fulfilling this request [but I could be wrong].
 
# Would someone kindly poke whoever made CategorySelect and the WYSIWYG extension? It bothers me when editing to see categories scrunched up at the bottom of an article; as well, it also bothers me that interwikis are placed automatically above categories, when interwiki links are less pertinent in the day-to-day for this specific wiki (having external links -> templates -> categories -> interwikis is how the big wikis do it). Can the regex, or whatever causes the difference from, say, Wikipedia, be changed? This one I realize is a non-project relevant thing, but it does so bother me.

::Oh, another thing popped into my head that I didn't remember to add here.

Possibly another one: I believe I'm seeing pages labeled "Talk:Talk:Boilerplate:Quest" in the following search, but it's impossible to access the page (because of the double 'talk', I assume).[http://www.wowwiki.com/index.php?ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&search=quest+giver&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=Advanced+search&fulltext=Advanced+search] Is that just me?
