PvXwiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard

There are a number of issues that can only be solved by an Administrator. The Admin noticeboard is one of the means through which users can contact Administrators in order to identify a problem that needs Administrative attention. Although editors are welcome to directly contact particular Administrators, posting on this page instead may be an easier way to let the entire Administrative group know of the issue (which may be particularly helpful since it increases the odds that at least one Administrator will see, and thus be able to respond to, the issue promptly).

There are only a limited number of things for which this page should be used. Many problems can be solved without Administrative intervention, and, thus, this page should be restricted to those issues that actually require an Administrator. Those are: blocking vandals, (un)deleting pages, (un)protecting pages, removing votes (either as per Real Vetting or because the build has been substantially edited), and mediation (only if the situation demands it).

Even in cases of vandalism, posting on this page needn't be the first step (and indeed should not be the first step). If you see vandalism, just go ahead and revert it, anyone has the power to do so. If it's a new article with no safe version to revert back to, tag it for deletion. In both cases you should leave a message in the talk page of that user to make him/her aware of why that kind of edit is unacceptable on PvXwiki. Only post here if that user persists in his/her actions, ignoring the warnings or if the content requires immediate Administrative attention (eg. if the material on the page is so offensive that should be immediately deleted).

(Be careful in case that user repeatedly insists on vandalizing, avoid a revert war; it's far better to temporarily leave the vandalized version of the page up until an admin has a chance to intervene.)

To create a new request: add an item to the bottom of the list below, providing a brief, neutral summary of the issue. As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any other involved users so they are aware of this discussion. If you are alerting an admin of a vandal, use the {{IP}} template, with the first parameter being the vandal's IP or username. If you are requesting that vote(s) be removed, please use the {{Build}} template, with the first parameter being the build's name.

Note that this is not a talk page and that the respective moderators of each section reserve the right to remove non-administrative comments without discussion.

Please place new requests at the bottom of the corresponding issues heading.

Move log

Clean this up please. Remove the old redirects that are either broken, left from pagemoves etc. Not really an issue, but a request. Juze 10:23, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

We are constantly pruning these things as we find them (well, I am anyway). Specifically, I use Special:BrokenRedirects and other special pages like it to find things I need to clean. No real need to request this, it is an ever continuing project. If you happen to stumble across unneeded redirects, just tag them for deletion as you've been doing. I'll get to it eventually. ToraenTheJanitor 10:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

As Toraen said, we're constantly working on these. I try to do them around once every 1-2 weeks. However, the biggest help you can be is tagging pages you think need to be deleted with {{delete|"Reason"|~~~~~}}. That way it will show up on our deletion lists. Thanks.

Vandal. Reason? Most likely butthurt. Juze 08:56, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Warned, if they continue bump this section and I'll block them. ~ PheNaxKian talk 10:24, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Constant butthurts hurt the whole community and PvXwiki itself. Enough said? Juze 16:39, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

You do know hes a sock of an already perma'd account and admins can ban him any time they like without your butthurt reasoning?--Steamy..x 16:43, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yes I do, but this is not a talk page, so shh. Juze 16:44, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

you know we generally like links, right? ~ PheNaxKian talk 16:59, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

[1] Just check some of the headlines on that page. Igor was rich in quoting his sources! ;> --DANDY ^_^ -- 17:01, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

(EC)Nope, probly not. I'm fine with this user as long as he stops getting into revert wars and making stupid edits to builds like running OotV and OoP on the same bar. Oh and another thing, we generally link to GWW not Guild Wiki. ;o --Iggy 's other account 17:02, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Right, The Physway incident, from what i can see, Excluded made an edit, Juze reverted and made some other eidts as well. Iggy then reverted Juze's edits, so the page was back on Excluded version (which is where the Rit was changed to "Rt/Mo" without any Mo skills.). Juze proceeded to assume it was Iggy and bitch on his talk, Iggy replied in kind. All i see is a case of Juze not checking the page history, not to mention excluded asked to provide reasoning for any changes, not an edit summary, if you want to make change, suggest it on the talk page next time. Also, familiarise yourself with our policies, I can't be botherede to check specific revisions, but i'm inclined to say you both broke PvX:1RV.

I suggest you both avoid each other, and if you have to make changes to that build, take it to the talk page first.

Resolved. ~ PheNaxKian talk 17:12, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Phen you're so powerful and manly. Too bad you're not of legal consent ;< Docta Jenkins 17:58, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Build-Specific Issues

Build-Specific refers to any issue pertaining to the removal of votes, usually resolved by an Administrator. See resolved issues here.

If you wish to dispute another user's vote, it is advised to do so on the build's talk page. This section of the noticeboard is intended to notify Admins or Build Masters of issues that can be speedily resolved (e.g. factually incorrect votes) or issues in need of mediation. Avoid debating builds or votes here.

Note: If applicable, please identify specific votes to improve admin response time.

Narb. You forgot Cuilans vote. Not a speedclear. --Iggy 's other account 02:36, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

The team build often fails and your Ether Renewal eles won't be able to handle such a group if the people who made the team build even fail it. Cuilan 03:23, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

No discussion here, bring it to the build talk. ToraenTheJanitor 05:06, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

KJ took care of it, finally (Again). Juze 14:49, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I cleaned up several of the votes on this build considering that they used in-proper reasoning. If this is an issue again, make another section with the same title (add a "2" or something) and I'll archive this section. Thanks. Karate Jesus 14:53, 8 June 2010

A/any Dual Prison (talk · rate)

deffiently not bad/trash, powerful spike chain always resulting in a kill, spiking every 15 seconds with shadowstep. Works great, votes biased on the fact it had an RA tag (even though it works perfectly fine in RA) so voted down, works amazing in cm/ab/ and still in ra, tested will post video is asked. 19:35, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Build was recently moved to a more appropriate build name. This page soon got remade with just a random (troll) heading by an IP. Delete page? Tru 01:27, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Done. You can just tag such things with {{delete|reason}} in the future. ToraenTheJanitor 03:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
