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.

Annoying Ad
Lately I have been seeing a particularly annoying advertisement popping up which I feel is both "Inappropriate" (flashing animation w/rainbow colors) and somewhat smutty as well. Its banner reads "Calculate the exact name of your lover!" or something to that effect, while two static cutouts "kiss" in the background. I can't get the target link for the ad, since it's made in Flash and thus a "Properties" isn't obtainable through a simple right-mouse click, and this sort of ad almost always leads to sites which could compromise your Internet security...not to mention the ad already hints at what sorts of top-quality content could be found there. It may not be explicitly pornographic, but I think this toes the line of acceptable/tasteful content. (T/C) 05:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I need the URL it points to to be able to block it. You might be able to get that by viewing the html source of the page if it isn't right-clickable. Angela 12:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Interwiki link request
I'd like to request interwiki link with the PvXwki (http://www.pvxwiki.com) using the PvX: prefix, so that PvX:Main Page would like to PvXwiki's main page. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 21:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've added that to the Interwiki map but that's not currently in use on this wiki. I'll try to get this enabled here. Is it going to be a problem if whatever links point to the Central Wikia instead of to Wikipedia? Angela 12:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Nothing on GWiki links to Wikia, so that would be a problem unless all existing W:something links were converted as part of this change. Also it would take a bit of getting used to since W:X linkage is second nature here now; may want to make a Site Notice or whatever [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * From what PanSola has written, thought the idea was we could use something like PvX:Minion Master in an article and it would go to an article named "Minion Master" on the PvX wiki, or have I mis-read something here? --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 02:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Questionable "sponsors" ad
On the sidebar, under "sponsors" noted an advert claiming to offer "Download Guild Wars", this caught my interest as ArenaNet would be the only source for downloading the GW client. The link has the claim "Stop paying for new games! One time fee to download for life", my concern is that this may either be a scam (pay them a fee just to to download the GW client), or an illegal software site (though, without a valid product key, don't think you'd get far). The link was. --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 05:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting it. I'll have that one blocked. Angela 12:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
