GuildWiki:Admin noticeboard

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

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 and provide 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. New sections go on the bottom.

Resolved issues are archived here: 1, 2, 3.

Templates
I've created (with the help of a friend) some templates to determine Zaishen Challenge Quests, similar to the template used to determine the items collected by Nicholas Sandford. You're welcome to use them on the main page and/or any other pages, but I recommend protecting them if they are added to the main page, and would appreciate being able to modify them myself even if they do become protected. The templates can be found at the following locations:

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Zaishen_forecast/Mission

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Zaishen_forecast/Bounty

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Zaishen_forecast/Combat

Upgrade to 1.15.1
Just to let you non-admins know that wikia's upgrading Mediawiki to 1.15.1 today (check Special:version to see if it's done yet) From wikia:


 * Hi all,


 * We'll be upgrading MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikia, to version 1.15.1 very soon. We plan to upgrade most wikis on the morning of Wednesday, August 26th. Click here for more information about this upgrade. We don't anticipate any downtime or major changes, but if you notice anything unusual after the upgrade, please let us know.


 * Thanks,
 * The Wikia Community Team

As of now, it's not done (even though they said they'd be doing it this morning and it's now 3PM, but then I'm british) - so expect downtime soon.

For the technically minded, I've mirrored the release notes here

For me, this looks good - we've got some new prefrences, and there's a link to the custom JS on the prefs page Random Time  14:18, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Next time, if you want to alert the non-admins, use the community portal talk, like Felix did yesterday; it's been pointed out there that we're going to be switched over next week. -- ◄mendel► 17:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
