When is the last time "Chaos" has contributed? I'd like to know if it's possible to have my name shortened, please. ---Chaos- (talk) -- 15:50, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

August 2009, sorry. Angela (talk) 22:46, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

BLOCK

First I would like to say thank you for this great site. Second Archive. Third Can you help?----X 18:43, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

There are no recent edits by anyone called Xtreme1 or Xtreme. Do you know if he's using a different name here? Angela (talk) 20:58, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

My user name here is Xtreme1ne....on GWW it is Xtreme1----X 21:12, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I just figured that out. I'm not really awake yet! The problem is one of the server IPs is showing up as user IPs. I'll report this to ops and get that fixed. It sometimes happens when a new server is added. Angela (talk) 21:18, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Are you thinking it is a North American bug? (just wondering)----X 21:13, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

No, it affects anyone editing if they happen to land on a certain server. Angela (talk) 21:18, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Okay then why dose it seem to be directed at me and always me?----X 21:46, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

"If the happen to land on a certain server" you was the unlucky one xtreme! --Frosty 21:48, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

The latest problem is not server related. More on User talk:Xtreme1ne. Angela (talk) 21:52, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

I added a note there Angela, it's not resulting from banning people who share an IP with Xtreme. Checkuser shows nothing and the bans are one-directional. It's pretty weird. Misery Says Moo 22:16, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

While you are here, I think, what do you think about this IP 199.102.47.72 (check user it), this IP has edits from 11 different users, all different people. I was thinking it was ISP based, but could it be something on wikia side? If you don't know down't worry, it's not all that important.
I was also wondering if TOR has given up on our skill database, or if something has come up, since we was told it would be fixed somewhere in the summer, and it's now November with no word from him. Any chance of something happening along those lines or are we doomed to out of date skill descriptions! --Frosty 21:48, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

199.102.47.72 is the server IP that was used for a day or 2 in October by accident. Does the skill database just need updating or is it broken? Angela (talk) 21:52, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

It needs updating, and it has for quite a while. --Frosty 22:14, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

User:Frosty/Skills2 I don't know if you can pass this on to TOR or something, I left him a message on the main wikia page but didn't get a respone, that's a list of all the skills that are incorrect. --Frosty 22:24, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

I've filed this as a ticket now as talk page messages often get lost. Angela (talk) 22:54, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Skill database

Hey Angela! I'm sure you've probably got a few (or more) mentions of this recently via whatever means. Basically the skill database is currently out of date (i can't say how out of date, i don't keep too close an eye on that >.>).

I do recall however that the database has to be updated manually (at least given that it's out of date, and from what we last heard i assume it still is). We did suggest a couple of possiable solutions to this ~when we moved (roughly). One suggestion was to have a couple of/few pages (that would be protected so only admins could edit), that had the database entries on, and then the admins could update these pages when needed, and the pages could be synced with the database every so often (updates occur every other month now I believe, so on the first of every other month for example).

While it's not the greatest solution, it would ensure that the skill database is kept relatively up to date, and it wouldn't require much input from any wikia staff (the only part staff would be needed for is syncing the database).

Sorry to rant on (and sorry if this is perhaps a bit more apt. for TOR). ~ PheNaxKian talk 22:11, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Tor started work on this yesterday and hopefully will find time on Friday to do more. I can't estimate when it will be finished though. Angela (talk) 23:13, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
