Watchlist
Can the watchlist be made to automatically refresh? Or can a button be added to enable this option. Or is it already auto-refreshing? Thanks, 07:46, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * According to MediaWiki:Common.js/ajaxrefresh.js, it does auto-fresh... but it doesn't look like the checkbox is there... I'll look into this, probably happened when that "Following pages" update happened. 08:06, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know... 08:56, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Auto-refresh? Anyone? Anytime soon? 03:41, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Userpage protection
Could: User:Matthew2602/status, User:M2602Bot/log, User:M2602Bot/shutdown, User:M2602Bot, User:M2602Bot/status, and User:M2602Bot/Task please be semi protected? Thanks! 02:52, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh! And User:Matthew2602/Sandbox, User:Matthew2602/Sandbox/DroppedByLine and User:Matthew2602/Sandbox/DroppedByTableHead. Thanks! 02:54, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the reason for the protection? 02:58, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pages are protected after many counts of vandalism, and in some special cases, if they are visited often. None of these pages have any history of vandalism, and they aren't particularly high use. Sorry, but I'm going to need to say no. 03:00, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * RS:PROTECT states that user pages can be semi protected when requested by the user. I am the user, I am requesting. Also, while I'm here, I also want User:Matthew2602/sigreadytalk and User:Matthew2602/sigreadytalk/changes semi-protected. 05:06, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not a "have to do it when requested" maybe if you gave a reason, any reason at all. 05:08, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * It isn't a "do it when requested"?! Well, they're things I don't want changed without my consent and would be bad if they got vandalised. They are things like templates, info for my bot Especially the shut down link and status, my sandbox I'm workin on stuff and my status. But seriously, it isn't a do it when requested thing? 05:16, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * All counts of vandalism can be reverted quickly and easily. And most of these are minor issues which are unlikely to occur at an annoying frequency. 07:06, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * But according to RS:PROTECT, they can be protected on request by the user. I seriously don't know why people are arguing. User:Liquidhelium never argues when I ask for my userpages to be protected... 07:09, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's cos liquidhelm is a nub. But seriously, there isn't any real reason to protect the pages. The ones you requested from helm were previously vandalised. 07:12, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) And here's something else I found in the same policy. "Protecting pages pre-emptively is generally discouraged" 07:11, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

It's discouraged, but hey, it's my userspace, I can do what I want. Within reasoning. 07:14, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not all of them that he protected were. 07:15, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * meh... Ajr's stand still stands . He's the guy who can do something, you'll have to wait for a more "lenient" sysop to come around. 07:17, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * M E H 07:19, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * It appears azaz did it. 00:12, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * any userpage can be semiprotected for no reason, except for user talk pages. 00:24, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh... what about bot's talks? 00:26, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I dunno. I protected mine because ips kept posting on it without any reason to do so, and every time they do it its a pain in the ass. I should probably unprotect it soon >_< 00:31, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * No no no, ajr protected Evilbot's talk for the same reason (I also asked him to). 00:36, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, you shouldn't protect anyone's talk unless they are abusing their right to appeal a block. What if an ip wants to shut it down legitimately? 00:53, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Highly unlikely since there is almost always an editor around, and could my bots talk be semi-protected as well, please. It got "vandalised" a few times previously. 07:42, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Continuing...

 * Could User:M2602Bot/Task/2 please be semi-protected? Thanks. 06:47, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Treasure Trails Guide
Something odd happened to some of the Guide pages. Treasure Trails/Guide/Anagrams, Treasure Trails/Guide/Celtic knots, Treasure Trails/Guide/Coordinates, and Treasure Trails/Guide/Emote clues got moved to Treasure Trails/Guide/@comment-Anagrams, Treasure Trails/Guide/@comment-Celtic knots, Treasure Trails/Guide/@comment-Coordinates, and Treasure Trails/Guide/@comment-Emote clues. I moved all but Anagrams back, because someone did a copy/paste to create a new page. I was uncertain what would happen if I tried to MOVE onto a page that already existed. However, all the history of the proper page is with the @comment copy. Could someone kindly delete the copy/paste copy and MOVE the page with history back to its proper place? Also it would be great to figure out how it happened.... -- 14:53, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you were to try to move a page to one that already exist it will say

"

The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or ask an administrator to help you with the move. Please do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text.

"

but in red. Just so you know. 18:37, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, the moves back have been done now, although I still have a question. Namely, how did they get moved in the first place? There wasn't anything in the histories recording the moves to the incorrect places. -- 00:11, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I haven't the slightest idea, I can't find anything about it in any log or history. *draws another tick for mysterious glitches* 00:25, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Closing
This thread needs closing, reason is on the page. 03:14, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Category:Audio files
Needs to be weeded out of the files longer than 30 seconds due to copyright infringement. If there is a pervious version of that length, the longer versions must be deleted. This is to keep in-line with the Images and media policy and the non-free audio template that many lack for a rationale. 19:37, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

New Wikia Terms of Use for Oasis
"Admins will no longer be able to completely remove core features for all users by using custom CSS or JavaScript. This is to protect the universal layout and functionality of every wiki on Wikia and ensure that users have access to all of the features available in the new design. Remember, these new terms only apply to the CSS of the wiki as a whole -- they don’t apply to your personal pages.

To give a few practical examples of what this means: It’s not permitted to remove the right sidebar modules, blogs, and image attribution or add a banner that shifts the entire content area down the page, or alter the fixed width" - From this.

Then they basically insult Wikia users by saying "While these terms will limit what you can do to the overall layout, creativity is still an essential part of Wikia." >.> 21:51, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Er, why is this in AR? Exactly what are you requesting? 21:52, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Wiki removes some of the stuff, such as image attribution, which would then violate the terms of use. 21:53, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * ...but what are you requesting? Everything here is just a statement. There is no request anywhere. 21:54, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, you copied me! >:( >:( -- 21:55, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought you'd be able to come up with something via that, and I didn't know D: I swear D: 21:58, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Request to ban User talk:Thebrains2222
Evil told me that someone created a new account named User talk:Thebrains2222. I would like to request for a permanent block for that account on the grounds that users will be confused and that they account-holder may be attempting to impersonate me. Thank you 10:03, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
