::: To elaborate : Is there a specific Problem sparking this Question ? As far as I know there is little difference between Editor Access and Admin Access, except for some sensitive areas and tasks. I would join in if there is the need, but see no necessity at the moment ? Also : It is always possible that I vanish for a week or more, due to time issues.

=== Add categories! ===
 
Please try to categorise everything! e.g. [[Special:UncategorizedFiles|Uncategorised images]] and while we are at it, please add <nowiki>{{Copyright game}}</nowiki> to every game related image.

* Done with this batch, for now. Feel free to pass on feedback if the categorisation is not up to standard. Question : can you filter out pictures without copyright cat ?
 
:: Thank you. Well, you definitely can do it for files with the template. You could run a bot and add the copyright template to every file - the bot can skip the action, if the template is already there.

*** So you want to upload the image here? (Just so I do understand correctly). In doubt - ask the author or just link to the external page. I'll ask because of CC 4.0 and what can be done! [[User:Encredechine|Encredechine]] ([[User talk:Encredechine|talk]]) 08:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 
**** My superior told me you can, of course, create an additional template for [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC 4.0]. Still no harm in reaching out to the author and to explaining what you'll use the image for. [[User:Encredechine|Encredechine]] ([[User talk:Encredechine|talk]]) 13:42, 13 September 2019 (UTC)<br>
 
***** Same here as with the categorisation. Im happy to bring possible issues to your notice or mop up the ToDo, but I have no experience with the bot setup or scripting, and would hesitate to reach out to other sites/authors.

*It seems like we need to resume the categorization work. 😋 I'll try to add that on the [[:Ancestors The Humankind Odyssey Wiki:Editors ToDo|To-Do list]] because I'll clean up the '''Admin noticeboard''' tonight. Also, I'm not sure we ever did the pass on our files for the copyright notices. 😐 I'm not really in the mood to look at it, but I'll add it to the list too... --­­­­[[User:BowiQC|BowiQC]] ([[User talk:BowiQC|talk]]) 00:21, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

===Cleaning up a little bit===
 
We are finally the only Wiki about Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey! I merged and deleted a few articles today, but I'm taking a break for now. Don't hesitate to nominate articles for deletion or merger by using the the following templates: [[Template:Delete]] and [[Template:Merge]]. (I think merging and moving article is restricted to editors with administrative rights.)
 
 
My priority right now is removing any duplicates and actually play the game myself. 😋 --[[User:BowiQC|BowiQC]] ([[User talk:BowiQC|talk]]) 00:55, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 
:I forgot! [[Special:Log/import|Use this link]] for help with finding duplicates. This list is full of articles from Fandom that might have matching articles on our Wiki.

:Done. Got rid of the duplicates; and I removed the latin name in all article names. Phew! --[[User:BowiQC|BowiQC]] ([[User talk:BowiQC|talk]]) 02:04, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Most of the text here is default text... The tone isn't really the one we use around here. 😅


The Admin noticeboard is one way through which you can notify Administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ~~~~) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:

  • This page is for reporting wiki issues. (As opposed to issues that are related to Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey or Panache Digital Games.)
  • Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages, or anything that you can't do because of access restriction.
  • Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests can and should be made by adding {{delete|reason for deletion request}} to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion. If you didn't understand a single word of the previous sentence, don't hesitate to contact us or write here anyway. 😅
  • Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try posting and request for comment on the Community portal instead.
  • Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
  • For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene. If a user must be reported here, please use {{user}}, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Also, readers or editors wanting to help the Wiki can go to Editors ToDo for a list of tasks.
