Ancestors The Humankind Odyssey Wiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users 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.
• Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
• Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests 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.
• Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment 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.

Please post new topics at the bottom of the page by clicking this link to add a new section.

Numerous duplicates on Fandom/Wikia and Gamepedia

Hello to you, reader.

Considering there are five Fandom/Wikia about “Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey” and one wiki on Gamepedia, which is itself part of the “Fandom/Wikia family” since December 2018, I really think we need to think about merging all the wikis into a single one and work together.

Even though English isn't my first language, I'll do everything I can to bring together all the editors who want to work on a wiki for “Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey”, whether it’s:

• https://ancestors-the-humankind-odyssey.fandom.com,
• https://ancestorsthehumankindodyssey.fandom.com/, or
• https://ancestors.gamepedia.com/

As for myself, I did some work on the Gamepedia's wiki with nice users like TheBrezzl.

If you want to talk about this, we could start on Discord (which I'm only starting to use...) My username is Bowi#1176 and I joined the official "Fandom/Gamepedia" server here: https://discord.gg/fandom

Together, let's find the best place to edit and we'll work with Staff Members / Power Users so we can delete duplicates once and for all. --BowiQC (talk) 02:44, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Update: We are currently merging "https://ancestorsthehumankindodyssey.fandom.com/" into "https://ancestors-the-humankind-odyssey.fandom.com". --BowiQC (talk) 01:13, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

I would like to start a French version

Hello! I would like to work on a French version. I already documented a lot of stuff myself and I would like to share and cooperate. I don't really know how this works, but I'm willing to slowly and "dilettantely" learn. 😅 BowiQC (talk) 18:02, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Added a page for Different language Discussion and list of contributers. TheBrezzl (talk) 10:51, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Add categories!

Please try to categorise everything! e.g. Uncategorised images and while we are at it, please add {{Copyright game}} to every game related image. Thank you! Encredechine (talk) 09:04, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for everything! I'll read a bit about categorization, because I have no idea about it. --BowiQC (talk) 10:47, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

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 ?

Also : What about CC like CC BY-SA 4.0 ( found on wikipedia, See Turkana Boy  ? LordFlinx 09:15, 11 September 2019 (UTC) Lordflinx (talk)

Version 4.0 of the Creative Commons might be interesting. We might have to check what's new versus 3.0... Pictures without copyright are a problem, yes. We'll have to find how to modify the disclaimer. --BowiQC (talk) 14:31, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Fixed issues

Something is wrong with the CCS code on mobile

Whether it's on Firefox or Chrome, the visuals are awful. Best example being the headings which use the same color of the background.--BowiQC (talk) 00:57, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Hm... I think it has been fixed... somehow... 👌--BowiQC (talk) 15:51, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

I've just added a better css for the mobile site. It's not styled and very basic at the moment. Encredechine (talk) 08:49, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Please Add a "Animals" Section to the Main Page

I would like to cover Animals extra on a separate topics section like Items and Locations

Done! Encredechine (talk) 08:49, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

FAQ and/or To-Do section ?

I have 2 suggestions to brainstorm with you :

1. FAQ Page ? Could be a nice idea to use that to either gather new ideas and Questions and to answer those Questions not covered in other Topics
2. To-Do : A Sub- Category of the Admin Noticeboard to list up all those chores or tasks ... I have time to kill ;-) Would prevend clogging up the discussion subcategories.
