Protect site.
We were hit by CS, only this time he ran his bot. Uberfuzzy protected the site. =\ 13:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, we were hit again, this time by a vandal bot. I logged on yesterday for the first time that day, as it was my b-day and was busy, and began reading my messages and looking for updates to the Yew Grove. I then checked the recent changes and there were a string of articles called "Shit#####", the ##### being an integer that increased in value my 1 which would then create a new article over. The bot also appeared to be targeting random mainspace articles as well, so as I cannot delete articles, no sysops powers, I began to revert the vandal to the other articles. During this time I logged on to Runescape and contacted any sysops that were logged on at the time, as I have most added to my friends list, in such this case. Kytti Khat was on so I told her in a rather quick manner, "Mass Vandal<need help" and she logged off and came over to help. When I finished talking with her there were 3 other accounts created that were being used, so as his others were blocked he made more and applied the bot to them. I wrote on Kytti Khat's talk page and told her to issue a site block, which on was issued, but not by her, by Uberfuzzy. I later got a message from Kytti saying she does not know how to issue a site block, which only means that your proposed policy needs to become a policy soon if we are being attacked by vandal bots. On the lighter side, I was really the only one at that time who appeared to be on and active, which leads me to believe he might try to activate his bot at night in most cases. It's gonna suck if I am always logged on a night for a majority, and can't edit during my on time due to a site protection, or in this case as being the first to respond, issue the protection. Anyways, the protection allowed Kytti and Uberfuzzy to remove most of the vandalism. I think Uberfuzzy made himself a Vandal removing bot, as he changed his account membership to include bots and quickly removed most of the hit pages. That is the just, ask away if you have any more questions. 18:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

IOTM Images
Yeah, those images are not being used in mainspace, articles, but they being used for a proposal in the Yew Grove in a possible Image of the Month. The links are now empty... 22:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, that's quite a bit of a screw up on my part...O.o-- 23:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

What I missed
It looks like I missed a lot of happenings here. I think I should write me an anti-vandal bot.(This is where the MediaWiki/Wikia API comes in handy). - 23:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Progress on the bot: I just started, I was going to try out a different bot framework, but I decided I best go with what I have used and know. I updated my copy of the runescape_family.py file(It basically holds all of the settings the bot framework needs to know about the wiki) and I made it where it can be used on every other language of RSWiki as long as the name-spaces are translated. My bot is able to login now. I am still thinking of how it will work. I may need to have my bot given roll-back, although I am not sure and if I couldn't I am sure I could work around it, since I have never tried roll-back with a bot. The bot should read the list of all contributions(within last 24 hours) by the offender and use roll-back except with a custom edit summary and also mark the vandal's edits as bot edits to hide them(I think I can but I haven't tried I know roll-back on Wikipedia can supposedly). To stop the bot we would use an emergency stop button, which would ban the bot for the shortest time possible, which would turn off the bot automatically. Sounds like I have a plan. =D Now hopefully I can write it. - 01:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, now I am thinking maybe a script or writing/finding a wiki extension would be better. I would just need to get my slightly started wiki install done. Do you have a tool that allows you to mass rollback a user's edits? Such a tool would be great for this I think and would not be dependant on any bot or anything like that, the only issue would be getting Wikia to install it and I am sure they would look into it. - 02:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * From what I have seen in the Wikia source code I didn't see one and there is none in the MediaWiki extensions repository. Right now I am building up a Wikia wiki on my computer by guess work, fun though. :D Then I can start learning how to write extensions. - 02:46, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be a fun project and will be writing an extension, but I am going to ask our resident Wikia Tech Staff member about that an extension like that. - 03:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Why I changed it
I changed him to it on Guthix because people possibly get confused when they keep switching from it to him. Letmego50 23:15, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Harsh?
Hello there. I have been recently monitoring the recent changes and have noticed all the users you have been blocking. Now, this may be just my opinion, but I think you are being to harsh. A fine example is IP adress 75.100.30.63, who made an edit on Exchange:Dark cavalier. I saw the edit, and at first glance it looks like vandalism, that is, if you only glance. Has it come to your mind that maybe 75.100.30.63 was having connection problems, and did not intentionally do it? Or possibly more likley it was a rather newer one and wasn't sure how do correctly update an exchange price? You must assume good faith more often. Like Exchange:Green d'hide body, the IP made a small mistake in the price and put 4588 instead of 4558. A common mistake the human mind makes, and, would you have blocked the user just for that? I'm not saying you would, but you must assume good faith, unless it was obvious vandalism of course. Happy editing. -- 23:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It is true they changed 28k to 300k, but notice how close 30k is to 28k, and how possible it is to add an extra zero an accident. I don't think that's bad enough to earn a block, at all. If the IP went around changing multiple prices dramaticly, that would be a block. BUt I just don't think it was right to block the IP. -- 23:51, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

RE:HTML

Vandal bot?
Aww, did I miss out on all the fun? I always said this was going to happen sooner or later. :P 04:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * When I saw the recent changes, I thought the same happened with Ben's bot (Do you know who Ben is?), in which there was a fault in the programming and it went around tagging the wrong pages with image templates. 04:15, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Somehow I don't think that All the administrators at wikia are ÐÜMB. is quite the same as an image template. =P -- 04:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, on a bright note I am fixing every broken user signature on the wiki. Not making (x)html compliant, just making it work correctly so closer to compliant at least. Although the changing of signatures, user pages, and user talk might be an issue to some. I am not changing the look or making the code more complex. -  22:03, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

(Insert decent title here.)
I'm not fighting to get my post back or anything, but I have a question that I'd like to have answered: what was so bad about my post that it made you have to delete it? I was not advising the maker of the thread to intentionally attack anyone; rather, I was advising him to be ready for an attack once he dumped his girlfriend for that other girl. What's so bad about that? Vhosythe42 talk 21:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

gif to png
Do you know if it is possible to replace a gif image with a png one over the top or do i have to upload the png version then put the speedy deletion tag on the gif one and manually replace all the images?? User talk  Evil Yanks  Contribs 09:54, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Is it possible to replace a GIF with a PNG, just changing the file extension? In any case, you would still have to edit each page where the image is used, to reflect the change.  I had assumed I would have to upload the PNG as a new file, then delete the GIF, which is what I have been doing.  If you have tried it and are sure that this is not necessary, please let me know.  ;-)  Many thanks, and good luck on UOTM.   01:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Global Signatures
I have figured out some code to allow Wikia-wide signatures and it works out for wikis that forbid user signatures. Basically, the code works by when you post if you have a signature template on the wiki it posts it, and if you do not have one, instead it puts the default signature(except with Talk added).

The code:

Template Example:

Default Example: Catcrewser Talk

Hey Soldier. I've been gone about 3/4 of a month and I come back and see that you and Bonz have gained nearly double your previous edit counts! The only thing I still beat both of you in is mainspace, and that's only because you and Bonz revert so much vandalism. Well, I'm kind of back now, but I won't make as many edits as I used to. I won't return fully until I've accomplished my goals on a few other wikis that desperately need my help. Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 04:20, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Rawr
I'm just catching up with Mega's forum post. It bothers me because I think we should welcome anyone into the cc, but I'm fairly horrified that anyone would report such a minor "incident", if it can even be called that. Thankfully, it looks like the consequences for Mega from Jagex are minimal. 17:57, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it has been a while. I just figured you have been busy with other things. I've been busy with trying to organize the wikifest with some other users and trying to get that 99. How have you been? 00:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Joke
When you said "drop and give me 20", I thought of saying something like "I'd rather drop and give you 69". So now you know why I didn't say it rs... and probably why I shouldn't say it here. Just a joke, you understand, but this one has a dirty mind. ;-)  04:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay,fine,I may have something against swearing,and especcially on the wiki.It may not have been the best of ideas at the moment,and it probably shouldn't have been done.He may have been expressing a point,but there was no need to start swearing.we have some young readers here,and we shouldn't be exposing them to swear words.its happened to me,and I'm happy about that.You are right,I shouldn't have messed with it,but I don't think it was a good idea to swear in the firs place. 20:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Soldier. Seeing as I judged you wrong, and with that, I kind'a screwed up our relationship (Which we actually never had), I'm having the feeling you are... sort of... trying to ignore me. Couldn't we just be friends? =)--. 16:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

About Vho
For the message about the troll i left on Vho's Page. He should be banned i had to protect my talk page because he wouldnt leave me alone. Look at what he has done of anyone should get in trouble it should be him. I will not tolerate any user on the wiki get put down by some kid who flames anyone who disagrees with him on sight. If i deserve a ban so should he... feel free to leave me a message on my talk page! since your a sysop you can post on it. Also i will not back down from my position... Vho flames me i will do the same until he is punished for what he has done.... God Of War 20:59, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Alright but dont let him get unbanned until he pays for what he has done..... I apologize for my anger.... I hope you understand my frustration... If he gets banned again he gets perma-banned right? God Of War 21:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank You! I will keep in touch with you. Again my apologies i shouldn't fight a vandal by being a vandal my self. Cant we get someone from central to intervene with all these arguments in the wiki?
