RuneScape:Administrative requests

Administrator requests

If you are reporting vandalism in progress, use this page.

What this page is for

• Protecting/unprotecting pages.
  Highly visible pages or content that may have links from outside websites are encouraged to have some level of protection. This can also include a request for administrators to try and calm down an edit war. This should be done according to the RuneScape:Protection policy.
• Moving/renaming protected pages and files.
  Due to vandals' mis-use of the page move tool, some pages are protected from being renamed except by an administrator. If you can make a compelling case for a page move, or consensus has been reached on the respective discussion page related to the page you think needs to be renamed, formal requests for the page move can happen here. New contributors to this wiki or "anonymous" users wishing to rename a page that don't have the page move option available to them yet are also welcome to make such requests on this page.
• Minor edits to protected pages.
  This is mostly on protected templates that can have a substantial impact on the whole wiki if they are changed, so caution is urged when they are modified.
• Announcements that are intended to be across the whole wiki.
  This appears on MediaWiki:Sitenotice, and should be something that would be of interest to the whole community.
• Importing pages from another wiki.
  While seldom used for content on this wiki, this is an option that is available for bringing in content from another wiki and preserving its edit history, which requires administrator rights. This may involve some special actions on the part of Wikia Central to open this option between two MediaWiki projects, so be patient if you wish to make this sort of request. MediaWiki importing tools can sometimes be buggy, so be gentle on volunteer administrators doing this task.
• Hiding revisions and/or edit summaries.
  In the case of blatant copyright violations, significantly offensive material, identity establishing information, or any other content that poses a major risk to the wiki or its editors, the revision(s) may be hidden using Special:RevisionDelete.
• General questions to the administrators of this wiki.
  You might get a faster reply by posting on the User help page; however, the administrators here will try to help you to the best of their abilities.

What this page is not for

• Problems that do not require administrator tools to complete.
  Instead, please visit the user help page.
• Problem users who may be vandalising content pages.
  Instead, please note the user that may be causing problems on the RuneScape:Counter-Vandalism Unit page.
• Requests to become an administrator.
  If you are interested in learning what an administrator does or how you can become one, please visit RuneScape:Administrators for information about administrators and RuneScape:Requests for adminship for the process to become an administrator.
• General discussions about administrator behaviour.
  Most policy discussions, including policies that govern administrators, ought to be started on the Yew Grove and kept to that forum for input from the larger RS wiki community.
• Minor requests for deletion.
  If you've accidentally duplicated content or wish to just clean up a mess you've made on the wiki, you should simply tag the page with {{D|Reason(s) for nomination}}.

Note: Please only make requests on this page that specifically require sysop tools to fulfill.

Stubborn file move

File:GEMH Mahogany pyre log.png needs to be moved to File:GEMH Mahogany pyre logs.png in keeping with the items name change but I can't get it to work. I'm presuming (hoping) it needs an admin, either way someone else giving it a go would be helpful. --Henneyj 20:31, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Unable to write to file "/images/r/runescape/images/4/44/GEMH_Mahogany_pyre_logs.png": file exists is the error, but there is no File:GEMH Mahogany pyre logs.png. So it's another cache error, which is going to need Wikia staff assistance to solve, I think. It appears to be a leftover from a file move on 7 August 2010. Azbot moved it at that time. --User:Saftzie/Signature 22:15, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

So now the error is 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 since there was a file created and then deleted in its place. I guess we'll have to wait for MediaWiki to figure out it was deleted. --User:Saftzie/Signature 23:06, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Slightly different error now. Unable to write to file "/images/r/runescape/images/archive/4/44/20080408090315!GEMH_Mahogany_pyre_logs.png": file exists which is from 8 Apr 2008 9:03:15 (UTC) if I understand the naming convention correctly.

--User:Saftzie/Signature 00:37, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

I messed around a bit and had no luck. I've sent a message to staff. --Aburnett ^(Talk) 00:41, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

A ticket has been filed, but it seems there are problems happening on multiple wikis, not just this one, so its larger to look into. --Uberfuzzy 01:03, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Deleted old file and re-uploaded updated image in new filename. User:Azliq7 08:34, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

You lose the file history that way, which is probably not so big a deal with GEMH charts. However, the old disconnected history image is still in the cache, because it displays above, so Wikia still has a problem. Hopefully whoever tries to resolve the problem won't get confused by the existence of the new charts. --User:Saftzie/Signature 11:44, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Just had the same bug occur with different images now. Once again not a huge problem since theres not much file history, just thought I'd update the discussion. --Henneyj 23:55, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
