GuildWiki:Wikia staff noticeboard/Resolved2

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ The Wikia staff noticeboard is intended as a way to alert Wikia staff of issues which need their attention. This place should not be confused with the Admin noticeboard.


 * If you have a problem with the wiki's content, use a relevant talk page. Content problems added here will be removed.
 * If you are having issues with the game, use a relevant talk page or use ArenaNet's Guild Wars support site. See how to report for instructions on reporting game bugs. Guild Wars problems added here will be removed.

To create a new request, add a new subheading (you can do it by clicking the "+" tab near the top of the page), providing a neutral, concise, and signed summary of the issue. It is suggested that any other users involved in an issue should be informed of its discussion here.

Can't find your request? Maybe it has been resolved.

Severe Wiki Lag + Socket Errors
Ok, for some reason, over the last 10 or so minutes I've experienced severe lag and at least 10 "socket errors." Has anything changed with the wikia servers recently? Also, to other users, has anyone else experienced this? EDIT: I've tested other sites and I've only gotten this lag on GuildWiki (haven't checked other wikia sites) Thought ful  (Talk) 21:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Questionable Ad


It's an ad for a particular GW guild's website encouraging people to join them. Since GuildWiki does not endorse or support one guild over any others, it out to be blocked so we don't appear partial to them. 06:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Imho people should know that we have no particular influence over what makes it through Google ads - we don't endorse or condone any of them. We can only request blocking for those which are obviously wrong or deceptive, like GW gold. But yeah, I see your point. I would stop short of blocking anything with "guild" in it, because things like GuildCafe are obviously okay, but...a single guild may be deceptive. (T/C) 12:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
