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 {{tl|user}}, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Revision as of 15:54, 2 November 2019

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.

Current Issues

More Guardians or Admins?

Who else think we should have more admins here?

More importantly: who's interested?

Working fine so far ? Lordflinx (talk) 09:11, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
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. No prob for an editor, but not ideal for an Admin Lordflinx (talk) 13:59, 30 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 ?
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. Encredechine (talk) 08:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Not my line of work, sry. But if I notice files marked as uncategorized or without legal notice I will be happy to to the legwork. Lordflinx (talk) 10:07, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
  • 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)
      • 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! Encredechine (talk) 08:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
        • My superior told me you can, of course, create an additional template for CC 4.0. Still no harm in reaching out to the author and to explaining what you'll use the image for. Encredechine (talk) 13:42, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
          • 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. Lordflinx (talk) 10:07, 18 September 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. 😋 --BowiQC (talk) 00:55, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

I forgot! Use this link for help with finding duplicates. This list is full of articles from Fandom that might have matching articles on our Wiki. Red links are articles that I already deleted. --BowiQC (talk) 01:01, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
