gold ad
http://www.goldsoon.com

Yes, their banner is for WoW gold, but it is the same thing. Block please...stupid all-graphic ads bypassing filters. (T/C) 10:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


 * it's still there --83.182.194.51 13:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

MMO Account purchase add?
http://www.gamewar.com/

Not exactly a gold ad, but against the EULA nonetheless. Rukias Tonarim 02:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Agrees, I've seen this one testing IE8 beta (sucks btw - use this) - delete plz RT 21:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Removing the Build: namespace from Special:Wantedpages
Is it possible? As the page is useless after the Builds wipe RT 12:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The Wanted Pages is automatically generated from red links. If you want the Build namespace removed from that list, see "What links here" to the red link and manually remove it from every page that links to it, only then it will be gone from Wanted Pages.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 18:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Fine... prepare for spam RT | Talk  18:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Accualy, I can't be bothered, I think the special page is going to be useless then RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>  19:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The namespace can be removed from the Wantedpages server-side, but as far as I know, it's quite risky and would need updating each time there is a significant update to the software. The GWW tried to get a similar thing done with the Guild namespace, but we eventually got it out by changing a few templates. -- Brains12 \ Talk 19:11, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * would said templates work for here as well, possibly?
 * Aside from trying something like that, I think it wouldn't be too hard to remove all the red links. At least, not very hard with multiple people working on it, and a bit of time. (whoever said stuff like that had to be finished all in one shot?) I've got to back up my computer today, but I may hop on my laptop later and go to town on Build: links. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  21:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Templates wouldn't work here (as far as I know) - it worked on GWW because all the red links came from the alliance nav templates, so certain people found a way to get rid of red links if the page wasn't created. Our Wantedpages works again :D
 * You could probably take out the links with a bot to save time and trouble, not to mention RC and watchlist spam. -- Brains12 \ Talk 22:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Problem is, I don't think anyone has a working bot; they'd need to make one and get entropy to make it a bot. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  22:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not all of the links are actually to the Build: namespace either, as I just found out. Back before the Build: namespace, it was all in mainspace; when builds got moved, they'd leave redirects. So you would need a bot that looks for profession abbreviations... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  22:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to give bot-status for a project like this, as it is of such monotonous and yet massive scale that no one is ever gonna be bothered to do it. I would code it myself if C++ could be made into MediaWiki code, but oh well. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Should we move this conversation to adminnotice board or community portal? -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 01:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think community portal. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 01:33, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Scoot it to the 'Portal, perhaps someone would like to code the bot from there, etc. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  01:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Incredebly Lag
Guildwiki has been lagging this morning, with me taking over 30 seconds to load a page, normally I can download 140kb/s, so it's not on my end, and the rest of the internet is working fine.--<font color="Black">Gigathrash 20:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Seconded. Even the wikia site is experiencing extreme lag.  I went over there to see if there was any kind of notice or something informing us that they were having issues, ect.  But to no avail.  Wikia is worse than Crapcast -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] <font face="comic sans ms" color="teal">Sk8  (T)  (C)  20:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Again today, I am experiencing ridiculously long load times for this wiki. Unlike the last time, Wikia's home page is loading just fine. It's so bad that Firefox is timing out half the time instead of loading pages. -- <font face="comic sans ms" color="teal">Sk8  (T)  (C)  16:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I would also like to add, that this vastly affects our userbase too. I've seen many users get fed up with loading times, and go to the other wiki] instead.  I don't think this is what we want, now is it? Please can we get someone to address this issue? -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] <font face="comic sans ms" color="teal">Sk8  (T)  (C)  16:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Am I the only one who seems to be unaffected by lag? :( (T/C) 01:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Gold Purchase Ad
Just found an add for goldsoon.com, advertising WoW gold. Probably other MMOs too.

Ad to cause lag
http:://www.grandchase.net/

Ad has multiple moving frames, changing colors, etc. While it does not fit the criteria exactly for an "inappropriate ad", it does tend to slow down the loading of any given page by about 5 seconds. Which annoys me. (T/C) 20:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Adblock Pro, I don't even bother with ads anymore. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 20:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Account Sale Ad
eliteaccounts.com advertising sale of elite armor chars and etc, I hate Google Ads so much!


 * Get Adblock Plus like the rest of us if you use FF, if you don't... too bad --Gimmethegepgun 22:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not the point, the point is a fan site for Guild Wars cannot have gold/account/item selling ads. --Macros 22:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, but he's also saying that he hates Google Ads, and with ABP they don't even exist any more --Gimmethegepgun 22:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Site loading error
About half of the time that I attempt to load guildwiki, it causes my browser to freeze. This isn't my Browser, as I've tried it in FF and IE as well. Its not my computer either, because I've tried it on my other computer, which is decent, and even that one freezes. As well as that, lately I've been having a lot of error 500 while editing, and having to backspace and retype my comments. &mdash; (P)/(T) 18:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Problem with spam filter


I was attempting to remove a pointless note and was prevented from doing so on Entangling Asp, twice. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is here, but it seems to me that it's not a good thing. 19:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Bad ads
The side menu advertisement is almost always a gold-selling/game-hacking advertisement. Just a heads up.-- (Talk) (Contr.) 05:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * please be specific. Whenever I am paying attention, they don't show up.  The name of the seller's site would be nice, and if you can go into the source of the page, any kind of advertisement ID would be helpful. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 05:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe you're just unlucky Marco. I don't get 99% bad ads...lots of "questionable" sure, but most are benign. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Odd...now they seem normal. Although I am still getting the ad mentioned below, not sure if that's supposed to be fixed yet. Meh.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 22:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Stupidly long loading time
On each page, its taking about 5 minutes to load each page, which is pretty much unacceptable. And the cause of it is the ads.. My .js takes at least 1 minute to load for each page. I'm in the middle of typing somthing, and suddenly the screen will shoot up because of my extra links. I'm going to test the monaco skin, and I'm pretty sure there arn't these problems on the monaco? Is it because Wikia doesn't want us to use the monobook skin? &mdash; Warw/Wick 16:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

not sure how to post this because its about the reports themselves. I've tried it in both IE and FF and when I click on the button it doesn't pop up.

 * So that explains how it worked with the Wikia version and monaco. Are you guys planning on adding it to our monobook eventually? Is there some way to manually create a problem report that doesn't involve that popup?&mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 16:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I remember it working before in Monobook, don't see why it won't work now --Gimmethegepgun 17:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * From my understanding: There's a difference bwteen Gravewit's Monobook, and Wikia's Monobok. Only the Wikia monobook has been modified to work with the extension. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 17:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That is correct. Unfortunately, we will not be able to add it to the GuildWiki version of Monobook.  If and when you guys get to the point where you are comfortable setting Monaco as the default theme for anonymous users, then it would make sense to turn in it back on. --KyleH (talk) 18:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

game updates
hey, i clicked on the updates and read the news. but, when i decided to post my own thoughts on the 'edit' page, i noticed something strange. the 'edit' page's content and the 'discussion' pages content, are not matching. there are more posts on the edit page, and when i switch back to discussion, they are not there. is anybody else experiencing this? or is it my computer?68.187.16.3 02:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Gabe
 * Maby someone added a message between the opening of the page and opening of the edit page? In that case you wouldn't see the message on the discussion page since itwasn't there when you loaded it, and then after you hit the link to the edit page the edit window shows the message since it has been added at that point. If you then hit the back button in the browser to move to the talk page in normal mode, the browser will show the version that it loaded previously, not the up to date version. You need to hit f5 to refresh the page to see updated content in that case. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 10:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've had this happen on talk pages before. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 15:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I bet you were just confused by the modular nature of the game updates article. Each individual update is its own article, and they are all "included" onto the overall Game updates page.  Each update has its own talk page, as does the overall page.  You were probably looking at Talk:Game updates to start with, then after you clicked on an "edit" link and went back to "discussion" you were looking at Talk:Game_updates/20080417. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 20:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

deleted pages
is it a new thing that deleted pages are getting their entire history removed from recent changes? I know that it gets removed from a person's list of contributions but removing it from RC makes it annoying to go back and figure out who made it after it was deleted if I wanted to ban them or something. Also... didn't I read somewhere about an option to protect non-existing pages to keep them from being created? &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 17:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

 * If you "recreate" the page (going to the Edit) it shows a small link which shows deleted versions. There, you can see who edited it last, and thus who made it. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 17:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The easiest way to prevent pages from being created is to use cascading protection. Create a page with links to page names that you want protected from creation, then protect that page with cascading protection (it's a check box on the protect page screen).  Doing so will protect all pages linked from that page. --KyleH (talk) 19:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Another Bad Ad
For some reason, whenever I view the noticeboard is when I get the bad ads... I guess it is out of spite ^.^ I'll post is right after this. <font color="Green">X Deity X  18:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Heya ... I'll be happy to report that, but in order to block it, I need to know the link it goes to (just right click on the link and click Copy Link URL). Thanks! --KyleH (talk) 19:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Errors
A lot of the time I go onto GuildWiki (but not all the time) my Firebug error tracker repeatedly picks up this error:

urchinTracker is not defined var wgCatId;

Also sometimes I'm given another urchinTracker error with something along the lines of this (different green lines denote different error messages):

urchinTracker is not defined if (wgUserName == null) ...     if (wgIsArticle) ...      if (skin == null) ...

It also sometimes catches a div tag in the green part. Also, Firebug will not work at the moment, and the first bug on the huge list (which has been stacking up each time I change pages) is:

Any clue? --Gimmethegepgun 21:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks like a Wikia problem to me, I suggest moving this to the staff noticeboard. It's probably not a site-breaking problem though so I wouldn't worry too much about it. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Steward
With the Wikia Migration, Entropy's Bcrat powers have decreased a tad, and she can't desysop anyone. As well as this, she can't give anyone the Bot Status, and we have 3 people currently who are going to be running bots, and so I was wondering if you could promote Entropy to a Steward (Or is that Wikia-Thing-Only?). &mdash; Warw/Wick 19:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
