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.

General Issues

General issues include (un)deleting pages, (un)protecting pages, banning vandals, and moderating serious disputes. This section may also be used for miscellaneous issues as well as Administrative announcements.

GW:EN builds

Until the new stats and skills are made official, there are no grounds for vetting any of these builds. For what it's worth, you might as well be crediting a build with imaginary skills. Until the release and finalization of the accompanying new skills, please refrain from rating any build that has been submitted featuring any of these skills. Any builds with votes already cast on them should have their ratings pages reset until the release of GW:EN, to ensure a fair vetting process for all builds. - Krowman {{sysop}} 06:05, 27 August 2007 (CEST)

Added a note to Recent news (since you're obviously right).

Note to other Administrators: Builds featuring GW:EN skills should remain in the Trial Stages, and, as noted above, any votes should be stricken. *Defiant Elements* +talk 07:20, 27 August 2007 (CEST)

No longer an issue, we can rate GW:EN builds now. *Defiant Elements* +talk 07:54, 2 September 2007 (CEST)

Now requesting the removal of several votes, which ignore the actual usage of GFTE (ie, gfte isnt used for more dps, but for energy gain and echo reapplyment) ~ ZamaneeJinn(contribs) 23:27, 29 August 2007 (CEST)

Done. —ǥrɩɳsɧƿoɲ〚ŞƳŞŌƤ〛 23:32, 29 August 2007 (CEST)

Again requesting removal of biased 0-0-0s (/sigh) ~ ZamaneeJinn(contribs) 01:30, 31 August 2007 (CEST)

Looking at the 0-0-0 votes, they appear to be valid. However, being unable to test the build, I cannot be certain. Krowman seems to have a valid point about lacking synergy. Barrage is kind of wasted in it, since there are plenty of other good adrenaline gain methods. Rapta also seems to have valid points about low damage and no interrupts. --Edru viransu//QQ about me/sysop 01:36, 31 August 2007 (CEST)

W/Mo Hands of Healing (talk · rate)

I'm sick of this.

That was a really fast 2 weeks. - Krowman {{sysop}} 19:50, 5 September 2007 (CEST)

I'm more concerned with the ratings. People continually rate 5-5-5 and it was starting to screw with the rating system, (also, was one of those people an admin?) ‽-(єяøהħ) ^{no u} 19:54, 5 September 2007 (CEST)

There were a bunch of horrible ratings, some 1RV breaches, some RV/WELL breaches. It should've been deleted before any of that hassle ever occurred. - Krowman {{sysop}} 19:57, 5 September 2007 (CEST)

A/R Way of Disruption (talk · rate)

I realize this may come off as biased (since it's my build), but, Zuranthium's vote ignores the fact that the Ranger Secondary is used primarily for spammable unblockability via Called Shot (in order to punish Prot Monks), whereas a Paragon Secondary provides only very limited options for unblockability, since the only unblockable skills have longer recharges. *Defiant Elements* +talk 20:50, 6 September 2007 (CEST)

E/any Searing Flames Elementalist (talk · rate)

Auron's vote mentions non-existant energy problems. Tycn says rodgot is better when is has a very different style. Morten, Abedeus and Klomi mention nerfs that didnt have a major effect on the build.--Coloneh 02:47, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

Tycn's vote is already removed, Auron is right about the e-mgmt problems of SF (which he also explains in a little detail), and the nerf(s) did have a major effect on the build. That's why SF/SF-way isn't run in high-level PvP anymore. - Krowman {{sysop}} 04:00, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

Coding Issues

Coding refers to any issue or bug that needs to be dealt with by a Server Administrator (Gcardinal or Hhhippo).

Rate Tab

This is directed at gcard or anyone who has coding experience. Is there anyway for you to be able to have the rate tab available while on the discussion tab? It's kinda annoying to go to the build tab again just to rate something after adding to the discussion. --Lost 05:43, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

I agree, it is a lil annoying... hardly priority though. Search system>this. -- frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 05:58, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

Main Page

Requesting update to Editcopy, just fixed bug with voting on the "Past Featured Builds" page. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 22:09, 26 August 2007 (CEST)

Updated Main Page with the new link. *Defiant Elements* +talk 00:53, 27 August 2007 (CEST)

Vote Removal

Since you guys keep the back-end work pretty much to GCardinal and Hhhippo, I'll request here an ability to restore removed votes. Shouldn't be too hard, and it is easier than posting on the users talk pages and getting them to do it themselves. Less aggravating too. Thanks. - Krowman {{sysop}} 05:45, 30 August 2007 (CEST)

Links are dead

None of the skills icon/word links work. ~~ frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 17:18, 1 September 2007 (CEST)

EOTN Title Specific Skills

The 50 EOTN PvE Title Track based skills don't work when trying to create a build. Currently, I have left them as optional and inserted a comment underneath which says about the skills. ---Andyhhp

That's because they haven't been added yet. Єяøהħ 19:47, 10 September 2007 (CEST)

Raw Signature

New raw sigs seem to not be working atm. --Edru viransu//QQ about me/sysop 03:02, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

Works for me, can you give an example? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 09:35, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

I used a template in the nickname box and it worked. I was trying to put it directly in, and it wasn't working. Bluemilkman/Talk To Me 13:22, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

Hmm, mine is directly in the box and works. Are you sure you used the same code for both tries? Can you reproduce it? Is it the same code as used in your signature above? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 18:50, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

Works now, hmmm. Must not have liked me for some reason. Bluemilkman/Talk To Me 03:33, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

Prolly was just conforming to the rest of us... unless I'm not supposed to let you know yet, in which case it was probably rebelling against us. Єяøהħ 03:36, 13 September 2007 (CEST)
