GuildWiki:Admin noticeboard/Resolved3

The Admin noticeboard is intended as a way to alert administrators of issues which need their attention.

This page is intended to assist in policy enforcement, and to provide a centralized location for protection, unprotection and undeletion requests.

To create a new request, add a new subheading under Unresolved, 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.

Resolved issues are moved here.

Formatting issue
For some reason, part of my profile page's formatting just stopped working (fairly recently). I use  for a few external links, and that still works fine. But I used to have the links colored as well, and for some reason now, they disappear instead of changing color. Here's the coding I'm using:
 * GWW Profile

Example:
 * GWW Profile

If you're seeing a small bit of white space under "Example", then it's not working on your end either. Now this did work like, a month ago; it still works perfectly on GuildWarsWiki and PvXWiki to boot. But for some strange reason, it doesn't work here, for me. I think it might still work in other browsers (I use Firefox), and possibly still works for other users. Is there anything different in Wikia's setup that could be possibly causing this to "malfunction" like this? -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  09:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Formatting inside teh text of external links are being stripped as part of the javascript protection. The false-positives were caused by the need for a much belated response for the evolving attack methods being seen on GuildWiki, and I have not spent the time to see how I can make the net more specific without opening a hole for attacks to renew. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 18:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I see. One thing that's confusing me is, the formatting inside external links does still work, for other websites... wiki.guldwars.com doesn't work, www.pvxwiki.com does work, my personal site doesn't work, deviantART does work... is the coding particularly picky about what it does or doesn't shut down? I would think, if you're stripping formatting for external links, shouldn't that go for all external links? --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  01:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The script checks if there are any sub-elements inside the external link, then check if those elements have any attributes. If so, the entire link gets removed (and if the sub-elements don't have attributes, they are considered harmless).  Does that sound about right?  If not, please paste all the links with their formatting in a bullet list so I can easily compare across them. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 06:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Let's see... I only half understood that, so I'll post examples instead. They're almost all different in some way, but a few of them just seem like they would both be the same...
 * - GuildWarsWiki
 * - PvXWiki
 * - VynaioccWiki
 * - deviantART
 * I would assume PvX gets through because it's a fairly normal address, but I would have thought deviantART wouldn't then, by that logic...
 * ...on this subject, there wouldn't happen to be a list of inter-wiki prefixes, would there? (talking about pvx:User:Jioruji Derako, wikipedia:User:Jioruji Derako, etc.) --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  07:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The only prefixes I know about are pvx: for pvx, wikipedia: for wikipedia articles and w: for wikia central articles RT 07:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, now THAT is weird. Let me check if it is actually the javascript I wrote that did that... -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 16:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Test a:
 * - GuildWarsWiki
 * - PvXWiki
 * - VynaioccWiki
 * - deviantART
 * Test b:
 * - GuildWarsWiki
 * - PvXWiki
 * - VynaioccWiki
 * - deviantART
 * Test c:
 * - deviantART
 * - VynaioccWiki
 * - PvXWiki
 * - GuildWarsWiki
 * Ok, that's definitely a bug in my javscript )-: It's not specifically discriminating any address though, as Test c shows, it's just alternatingly skipping. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 16:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Lord Mexico
Has added a statement that he is an admin on his userpage, when this is not the case, do we remove it? (comments?) RT 18:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


 * He just C/P'd Karlos' page over to his. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 18:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Did he? Odd RT 18:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Compare them if you must. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 18:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's actually really funny. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

yeah guys sry i thought karlos userpage was nice and that if i copied and changed the names and titles of my chars and deleted some otehr stuff i might get a nice userpage but no...user:Lord Mexico
 * Its fine. If he contributed here still I'd tell you to ask if you can use it, but AFAIK he doesn't contribute to any wiki anymore. --Shadowcrest  14:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Blocked by IP
Well, I seem to be blocked. It says my IP was used by shesonly12 in the recent vandalisings. I assume it was an IP range block so I won't bother saying I didn't do anything as I'm probably just blocked by coincidence, what I'm wondering is how long it'll be for. Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  12:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Is your IP unblocked now? If it ain't, I /fail --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 12:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's doing something wierd. At first I couldn't edit anything (except my userpage and this one) then I tried to undo the mantid monitor edit and it didn't stop me, I tried editing random pages and it didn't say I was blocked (this is all before you unblocked it). The only page it now says I'm blocked on is when I try to edit my own talk page. <font color=#555>Ezekiel  <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  12:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * What browser do you use? For IE and Firefox: Ctrl+f5 might fix your probs. Chaching issues :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 12:59, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Using Firefox, already tried clearing the cache and it didn't change anything. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  13:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * That's odd. No idea why it's doing that, then. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 13:06, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't matter, I moved my talk and it's letting me edit the new page. So long as no-one messes with the redirect it should be fine. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  13:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * one last post: Seems to only block me from editing my whole userpage, and doesn't block me from sections of my userpage. If this helps at all my IP is 216.151.156.20 <font color="Purple">Thought <font color="Blue">ful [[Image:Thoughtful Sig.png|19.px]] 14:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm also getting this. Not sure why.
 * Your user name or IP address has been blocked by PanSola. The reason given is this:

Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "ShesOnly12". The reason given for ShesOnly12's block is: "multi-vandal" Your IP address is 216.151.156.20. Please include this address in any queries you make. --<font color="Orange">Paradoxical <font color="Black">Ambiance  14:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I remember some time ago multiple people got the 'new message' message on ip adres 110.10.100 or something like that. Maybe this is a similar case? --[[Image:Progr.jpg]] -- talkpage 14:18, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Who's "ShesOnly12"? Oh and it says my IP is the same, though its not. Could it be they have been taken over from us? Zulu Inuoe 14:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

ShesOnly12 was a vandal from a few hours back. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  14:33, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As a temporary solution, try moving the page that you aren't allowed to edit, you should then be able to edit it, and if you really want you can try moving it back to where it was. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  14:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say notifying Wikia is your best bet. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 14:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
