GuildWiki talk:Wikia Migration

/Archive/ - Stuff fixed or no longer needs discussing.

A new thing to worry about
Hey guys, watch this. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u289/karloth666/rickroll1.gif Neat, huh. Posting an image's URL direct-links the image now; vandals can image-spam without having to go through the trouble of creating an account and uploading images. Also, this probably breaks countless talk pages with links to screenshots and the like on them. Sweet. 08:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * External image hotlinking is *supposed* to be disabled I think... with photobucket being on a whitelist >_<"  -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 08:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, as you can see from this image http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9832/badgerdj1.jpg taken from User talk:Lann, that's not the case. Hotlinking will be bad for load times, and would be very easy to exploit- post a thousand links to that rickroll gif on one page to see what I mean. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's better now. :D [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No it's not RT | Talk  15:52, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If there is concensus to do so, we can remove the ability to use any external images. By default, as PanSola said, most external images are blocked; however, a few sites like ImageShack are whitelisted.  You can view the full whitelist here. --KyleH (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Because hotlinking removes the need for licensing details, one of the things we take rather seriously here, I would vote to remove the capability altogether. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove imo --Macros 18:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove imo. --Shadowcrest  18:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove. I'll be personally removing any such images that I find regardless of what is officially decided, since it contravenes GW:IMAGE. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove. [[Image:Thoughtful-new-sig.jpg]] Thoughtful 00:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

(resetting indent) It seems that the verdict is unamious. I have requested that the tech team disable the the embedding of external images. This change should be implemented some time in the next few days. --KyleH (talk) 04:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Still working on this ... --KyleH (talk) 04:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I know it's been a while, but I just wanted to let you know that this should be fixed very soon (with the next Wikia code release). It is a change that required some custom coding to implement. --KyleH (talk) 06:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like you did it. They're just external links now. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 16:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that issue should be resolved now. Let me know if it continues to cause issues. --KyleH (talk) 20:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Rename Requests
Please post any requests to have your account renamed under this topic header.

My email is the same on both accounts, as is the password, yet all of my contribs have been moved to GW-Warwick. D: -- Warw/Wick 18:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Same issue; apart from I don't have an e-mail address linked to either account at the moment. lord of all tyria 18:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

My name is NOT listed as a conflict (here), yet I was moved to GW-Tain. Either the list or the change is an error, would appreciate some clarification and/or a revert back to Tain. GW-Tain 18:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Same as Tain, myin was not on teh list either >.< -- Shadowphoenix  18:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I am on the list, but I made it through fine because I own the other Entrea. Hooray!Entrea Sumatae 18:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Although... WTFHAXXSIGPHAIL!Entrea Sumatae 18:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

My username Maeve has been changed to Gw-Maeve and my password is no longer valid. It's not listed as a conflict either. 24.19.205.237 18:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think this is because I have two user names...One is this that I am posting with and the other Maeve. Please change this user name to Maeve. The one I am posting with is my old account. Thanks. Morgan Fairweather 18:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay so GW-Maeve works. But I would much rather it be "Maeve" not GW-Maeve. Thank you. [[Image:Ranger-tango-icon-200.png|18px]]Maeve 03:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Btw, Afaik the process to link user:GW-Warwick and User:Warwick (and everyone else's) contribs are fairly simple (if they have my problem)- The way to do it is explained on User:Stabber. Ofcourse, you probably already knew that. :) -- [[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 19:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * So across how many wikis is this "Universal" username supposed to be? --ScathLann 01:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Anyway i would like my account renamed and merged with this one. --[[Image:Lann-sf2.jpg|19px]] Lann  01:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

My name wasn't on the conflict list but I got moved. Can you move it back please? - GW-Buzzer 06:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. :) --TOR 15:51, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you also ask for renames that aren't something like "GW-EXtinctioN to EXtinctioN"? &mdash; eX tinctioN 20:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're talking about renaming an account that wasn't moved during the database merge then it's technically possible of course, but I'm not sure if Wikia will be doing this. (It requires moving a lot of sub pages, and renaming a lot of signatures...) If you're talking about renaming an account that was moved during the merge, then you can request a rename to anything that isn't taken by someone else. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 09:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Wolfie to Wolfie_
Does it help if we each start a sub-section under "Rename Requests", ie easier to see who's requesting what change? Anyway, I would like to request "GW-Wolfie" user name be changed to "Wolfie_" (note, the underscore at the end). I have used that combination before on other forums, wikis etc where a name conflict existed, so would like to retain this identity. Regards Wolfie (talk|contribs) 06:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Could I please have an update on why this request has not been enacted, has been nearly 3 days and while I note many other requests below have been done, mine has not, and would like some feedback on what's the hold up. As noted back on April 30, 2008 (see comment here, my original user name of "Wolfie" apparently conflicted with an existing Wikia account (why someone created an account with my user name is unknown, but that account has absolutely nothing to do with me, maybe it's inactive?).
 * Anyway, if it's possible I can be reverted back to "Wolfie" (ie, remove that other account and rename "GW-Wolfie" back to just "Wolfie"), that would be great! Otherwise, can settle for "Wolfie_" (with the underscore), just by the gods please ensure I do not loose credit for all the edits I have made on this wiki.  I am getting rather keen to fix up my userspace articles etc, but require my user name be sorted out first, so some form of feedback would be appreciated as to what's to happen, maybe I can provide further informtion. Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 02:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC) PS: I note my idea of creating a sub-section per user request caught on :)


 * Sorry for the delay. The underscore at the end was a bit problematic, as we don't allow user names that end in a _. Fortunately, Wolfie turned out to be inactive since 2006, so you're now back to your old username. :) Please check whether everything is in order. Again, sorry for the delay and thanks for bringing some order to this page. Makes my work a lot easier. :P --TOR 12:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That is wonderful news about being able to revert back to my original user name, sadly however, something has gone terribly wrong!!
 * I cannot login as "Wolfie" (had to login in as "GW-Wolfie" to post this message)
 * A search of Special:Listusers shows there is no "Wolfie" account ("Wolfie 1972" and "Wolfie pt" are not to do with me), the user name "GW-Wolfie" does however still show up and as noted above, is what I had to use to login
 * My user page is incorrectly located under User:GW-Wolfie (yes, there is a redirect from User:Wolfie to User:GW-Wolfie, but that's not a solution)
 * My contributions however do appear correctly under Special:Contributions/Wolfie (please tell me I've not lost them!?)
 * So it's appearing like the renaming of my account back from "GW-Wolfie" to plain "Wolfie" has failed part way through or something to that effect. Needless to say, I am now getting a little concerned about if my account has become corrupted, but am hoping Wikia staff will be able to perhaps manually correct this situation in a way that keeps everything intact, HELP!! --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 00:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It could be similar to the situation that Tain listed below. He had the same problem as you, and re-created the account, and kept his contributions.  That would be my suggestion. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   (T / C)  01:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Xeon to Xeon
Lost my account due to move, name is not on conflict list, can i get my admin status put back on too please. -- Xeon 13:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm have sysop, my bad on that but would like my name changed to xeon still. -- Xeon 13:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Seem to have a problem with your change, I login as xeon and sig as xeon but my nav bar at the top still links to GW-Xeon and so does the talk page. -- Xeon 00:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Sora to Sora
Hey, my name is changed yet I'm not on the conflict list. Would it be possible to have my name changed back? －GW-Sora 15:26, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Zefir to Zefir
My name wasn't on the conflicts list. If possible, I would like to have my original name back. Thank you.  God Zefir  15:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Autolycus to Autolycus
My name wasn't on the conflicts list. If possible, I would like to have my original name back. If not, then my second choice would be Autolycus_Dux. --Autolycus Dux 16:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Good news, the other account was not active. You should be able to login as Autolycus. If you spot any other problems, contact me. --TOR 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Macros to Macros
My name was also not on the list. I too would like my name back. --Macros 17:29, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! --Macros 20:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Tain to Tain
Not on the conflict list. Posted a few lines up, but on the off chance they only feel like reading bold... GW-Tain 17:54, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * "Login error: There is no user by the name "Tain". User names are case sensitive. Please check your spelling, or use the link below to create a new user account." GW-Tain 03:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't know if this is what was supposed to happen, but now I have re-created the Tain account, I'll move everything over myself - don't worry about it. Tain 03:36, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Name is gone
My account name is gone and GW-General frisk didnt work...am i going to have to make a new account?


 * Wow. That shouldn't have happened. Looking into this now. Sorry for the inconvenience. :/ --TOR 10:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Tried contacting you via e-mail, but it doesn't seem to be valid. Please mail me at tor@wikia.com, thanks. --TOR 11:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Malchior to Malchior
Same as the others; not on the list and I quite like being Malchior. Please change whenever. =P

GW-JediRogue to JediRogue
I own both accounts. I would like to continue being JediRogue. I also would greatly appreciate being a sysop on that name rather than GW-JediRogue&mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Merged. May the force be with you. :P --TOR 11:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Warwick to Warwick
I have control of User:Warwick, and User:GW-Warwick, but my contribs have been moved to GW-Warwick. So uh.. Could I have them back? :p -- Warw/Wick 20:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * And done. :) --TOR 11:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Lord of all tyria to Lord of all tyria
I own both accounts. Want contribs list back. lord of all tyria 20:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. Please go to your preferences (on both accounts) and fill in the same e-mail address so that we know you're the same person. Please leave a note here after you're done and I'll merge the two ASAP. Thanks. --TOR 11:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. lord of all tyria 19:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Voidvector to Voidvector
Merge accounts. Own both, they should have the same email. --GW-Voidvector 17:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * To prove I own both accounts. --Voidvector 17:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Nova to Nova
May I please be renamed back to that name. My username did not show up on the conflict list. Thanks! &mdash; Nova   &mdash;  (contribs) 19:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 11:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Maeve to Maeve
Please change GW-Maeve to Maeve. It was not under the conflict list. I would greatly appreciate this. Thanks. :) Maeve 23:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

My name wasn't on the conflict list. Can you please change it back? GW-Ghost1 23:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 11:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Lexxor to Lexxor
Please, I want my name back :P If there's a name conflict, try Lexx, Lexx1 or LexxArc. --GW-Lexxor 00:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 11:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Woohoo! And I thought I would sign all future contributions as anon as I despised the GW-name :-) Thank you! --Lexxor 13:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Puk to Puk
My name isn't on the confict list, can I please have Puk back. I'm the original Puk, and the best, no imposters.. please! GW-Puk 08:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. --TOR 11:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Zeratul to Zeratul
I have two user pages Users:Zeratul and Users:GW-Zeratul. I would like to have only that one without gw prefix, moreover it doesnt appear in conflict list either. Thanks! --  Zeratul  13:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Blue Dragon to Blue Dragon

GW-Tarun back to Tarun
As recommended by KyleH in Unable to log in -- 71.63.89.37 15:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GW-Asrael to Asrael
User:Asrael redirects me too GW-Asrael, and i wasn't able to login with my old acc ( Being Asrael ). If this could be solved, thanks in advance ;o

GW-Syphon to Syphon
My account name doesn't appear on the conflict list. Would it be possible to have it changed back please? Thanks in Advance. --Syphon 11:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Watchlist
My watchlist is wiped. According to WoW folks, it has happened to them to but it is retrievable. I would like my 7.5k watchlist entries back. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 18:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * My watch list has been wiped too! D: -- [[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 18:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * My watchlist (of like 3 things I dont care about) was wiped even though I didn't get a rename, as was my preferences.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea 18:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Only my prefs got wiped. That only takes 3 minutes, so I must be in luck...--- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 18:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, preferences are no biggie to reset. I'm not customised too much. Although this does explain why I got an email about a talkpage change all of a sudden...[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea 18:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Watchlist Recovery Requests
In most cases, it should be possible to recover watchlists. Please sign your name to the following list if you have lost your watchlist and need to have it recovered:

 * User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]])

im so confused
User:JediRogue redirects to User:GW-JediRogue. But Special:Mypage goes to User:JediRogue also, I have no idea whats going on with my preferences. I miss my edit count. I have no idea if I redid my sig right, and RC looks all funny. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 21:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol'd thats because wikia did what they did to me to you. you're user:jedirogue AND user:gw-jedirogue. -- [[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 21:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Everyone's preferences appear to have been reset. Felix Omni 21:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Mine weren't.. :p.. -- [[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 21:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It also seems to have reset signatures- that's going to frustrate a lot of users. Well done, Wikia. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Mine were unaffected as well.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 22:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Preferences seem to have been copied from Wikia to GuildWiki; my signature and settings from my Wikia account seem to have been applied here as well, instead of being left as they were. (I kept my preferences pretty much the same on both, so getting my slightly different signature back was easy enough.)
 * The one thing that confuses me is, in my preferences, it lists my edit count as 1, yet if you check Special:Editcount/Jioruji Derako, I still have all 2,869 intact. (my preferences listed a zero before, but I just finished making an edit a little further down the page.) Is there a way to un-reset user preferences? --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  06:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It may take a few days for all of the database information to sync up. If your preferences still do not have the proper edit count within the next few days, post another message. --KyleH (talk) 06:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * So theoretically, given a few days to sort itself out, the edit count/user ID/things like that should just update and fix themselves? As of today, my edit count is 4, I'll check on it again in a couple of days and post the results. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  12:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Merge accounts
Is it possible to merge accounts? I have 2 accounts under the same name now. Kind of useless. --Voidvector 22:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * To prove that this is in fact me. --GW-Voidvector 22:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You could have merged them if you had acted before the database conglomeration. Now you just sort of have to choose one. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait, WoWWiki merged recently too, but i didn't get another account there, how come it's different here? --Voidvector 22:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You can request a name merge here. Cress Arvein [[Image:Cress sig.JPG]] 23:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I too need my usernames merged. I am and have both JediRogue and GW-JediRogue and I don't need both. I was JediRogue on Wikia before the merge and I expected to keep it. Additionally, only GW-JediRogue is a sysop here and irritating to log in and out to ban people lol. What is currently being done to handle all this confusion? &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 23:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The tech team is watching this page and dealing with the issues on a case-by-case basis. It may take a few days to get all the issues worked out, but rest assured that they are working on it.  In the mean time, please bring up any more issues that arise. --KyleH (talk) 06:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you guys are still working on this issue, but I made changed my email address on 1 of the accounts to match the other. One was using my hotmail account, the other was using my yahoo account. Now they are both using my hotmail account now. Not sure if this helps the cause in anyway. --Voidvector 20:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Unable to log in
Since the migration, I have been unable to log in and it says I never entered an email address. How can I resolve this issue? -- Tarun / 71.63.89.37 21:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like your name was changed to User:GW-Tarun - try logging in as that, if that works, see above to get your name changed (if the wikia user is inactive, you may be able to change back to tarun <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Black">Time  19:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * When I checked, my username of Tarun is still in existence. I can tell because my talk page is still there as I made it: http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Tarun and I'd prefer to keep Tarun and not have GW-Tarun, honestly. -- GW-Tarun 22:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Just want to point out that:
 * technically you can create talkpages for non-existent users too. But this technically point is pretty irrelevant because...
 * the entire reason you were renamed is because there is a User:Tarun already in existence on the Wikia user database. You got a "disambiguation" username because of the conflict. If you can prove you own the Tarun account on Wikia then they may be merged.  Or, if Wikia's Tarun is an inactive user (or at least significantly less active than you), then it might be possible for you to take over the Tarun account and get the other guy renamed.
 * -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 22:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, looking at the History for that page, it now shows in History that it was made by GW-Tarun. Though back when I made it, it was to Tarun. Frankly I don't care for this new merge of the databases. I want my name back and I honestly do not like how I was not able to choose to keep it or not. -- 71.63.89.37 00:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Because your account was renamed, the contributions are also changed to point to your account, so that the history does not incorrectly credit the other guy who owns the Tarun account on Wikia. That is the expected behavior.  As for not having a choice, if the Wikia Tarun is an inactive user (which currently we do not know whether is the case or not), then you in fact had a choice.  The whole user database merge had been in the site notice for weeks before it happened, and you took no action.  So it is like complaining you didn't have a choice in who the President is because you didn't pay attention to the fact that you can vote.  Right now, the constructive course of action would be to get the Wikia staff look into whether the Wikia Tarun guy is active or not.  Simply complaining under the "Not able to log in" section may or may not speedily attract the attention of the Wikia staff in charge of renaming users (in case one person specialize in renaming users, another person specialize in fixing bugs that prevent users from logging in). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 05:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I just looked at your account, and I believe that we can probably recover your original username. Please edit the Rename Requests section and add the change. --KyleH (talk) 06:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
