Updates to Wikia Chat
Hello, I am writing to let you know that your wiki has been chosen to receive our latest update to Wikia Chat early! I wasn't quite sure where to post this message, so leaving it with you since you are a bureaucrat here.

We have been hard at work integrating user requests into the product and are just about ready to release these updates. Before we did, we wanted to test on 10 wikis to make sure everything goes smoothly. We chose your wiki since the community here is so active on chat. We hope to enable the updates tomorrow, unless you foresee an issue. The updates you will see are: A couple of things that will happen when we switch over to this new version: Please let me know if your wiki is not interested in testing these updates a week early. They are planned to be live on all English wikis next Wednesday May 9th. I will let you know once the switch has been flipped here. If you have any other questions or comments, please let me know. --Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:48, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Redesigned chat entry point - we added a scroll feature to the chat module, so you will now be able to see everyone that is in the chat before you enter
 * Chat entry point can be added to any page - simply use the tag and you can access the entry point on any page!
 * Expanded options for chat mods - when hovering on a user's name in the list, you will have access to more links to moderate a user if need be
 * Kick a user - We've separated this option to provide a temporary "slap on the wrist". Kicked users can rejoin the room immediately.
 * Ban a user - We've replaced the infinite "bannedfromchat" userright with a new system that works just like blocking a user. You can leave a reason and set a time for the ban from within chat.
 * Chat bans logged - all chat bans now have a log and appear in recent changes
 * More small design tweaks.
 * Everyone with "bannedfromchat" user right will be switched over to a 6 month ban
 * We've made improvements to chat stability, so there should be less interruptions when folks get disconnected

IRC
Okay, lets start:

1: Everyone hates IRC

2: People are leaving the wiki, chat was fun. Not only bad users will leave now, also good users.

3: IRC sucks.

That's everything I wanted to say.

Bring back chat
The title says it all really... Nobody likes that IR shiz except admins and seeming as they call all the shots around here, none of us get a say in it! Most people are leaving the wiki because of this and not just because this is the only thing they come for. Its because chat is a way of meeting people and discussing the Hunger Games. Now chat is disabled nobody speaks anymore because IRC is so confusing (it looks it too) that nobody goes on it. About midday there are usually loads of people on chat... Today there was 3 people on IRC. Rainbow Shifter 18:40, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

i am VERY angry about chat being deleted

i want it back

please can we have to old chat back KSI xLongShotz 17:12, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Do you need a hand?
This needs to stop. I've been on here a year less than you and I hope you remember how it used to be around here. Nice, friendly, and people just wanted to talk about the hunger games and play with it. As you know, this wiki has been the sight of many drama filled battles. Not once have I become involved, but I come here a lot. Anyway, I fully support the desision to remove chat and I would like to help control the wiki if possible because I think that being one of the older users, people respect me and might listen to me. Thanks, and please only regard this if you want help controlling this wiki. (:

Firecatcher3 02:34, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

I didn't really have anything in mind, I just want to help. And just to let you know, advice is hard to take in comment form from just another user (in the case of a fight on the wiki) (i observed this). Even if it's not me, I feel like there should be someone in a position of power who goes on the wiki enough to be able to build a lot of respect from the users, but also help stop the fights if you know what I mean. Tiki Tooki I think would be good for this

I guess you probably already know, but a new wave of arguments is flaring up again. I'm doing my best to calm things down, but I think we need an Admin to step in.

Thank you for helping me with my userboxes. I appreciate your help. I have a question. Could you please ban nicksomberlol (sorry for saying his name on your public page), but he posts inappropriate crap on District 9 Female from the 74th Hunger Games. I keep on having to delete it.

Been wondering
First of all, thank you in advance for your understanding as you have received questions about this. I know that there is no perceived need for additional admins at this time. However I have been thinking about this for some time and wanted to share it with you to get it off my chest.

The admin team has been doing a great job and has displayed a remarkable degree of patience, leading up to and including the current chat ban period. Overall the wiki is running smoothly while remaining a work in progress, as all wikis do. Since I have been on, I have noticed that while current admin efforts are involved with anti-vandalism, keeping inappropriate content out of main space and enforcing wiki rules, one area that has been somewhat overlooked has been behind the scenes maintenance work on an ongoing basis. Primarily this has been in areas that I have been involved with: removing unused images, inappropriate blog posts and lists, and image categorizing. Having someone help out with this area with has an interest in doing so would benefit the wiki in several ways:


 * 1) Free up other admins to focus on what they enjoy or prefer doing.
 * 2) Help keep the number of unused and irrelevant content down. The wiki is currently at 10,000+ images, which is a disproportionately large number for 300+ articles. Duplicates get uploaded frequently and many images fall by the wayside by not being used.
 * 3) Cut down on the process of tagging x for deletion and then waiting for administrative action to deal with it, i.e. faster resolution time by resolving issues on the spot.

While I have done a lot of work in this area, I am open and willing to help out the wiki in a much wider sense by doing so with the help of administrative capabilities. Neither am I saying that I would stick to these types of activities only, as I also see a fair amount of vandalism and non-mainspace content get created and have worked to revert and tag for deletion when appropriate.

Additionally, another factor to consider is time of coverage. I am in the PST time zone and have noticed that Habernathy tends to come on in the afternoon my time, while you come on in the later afternoon and at night, sometimes in the morning. Necterine has been more sporadic so I haven’t been able to notice a pattern with her time on. Much of my activity here tends to occur during the day from morning through the afternoon with some activity at night. Having an additional admin on during this time would stagger the coverage and enable a faster response to issues that come up during this time period. This is not to say of course that I would not be on at other times, as I am, but it would help out.

While I have not been on here for that long, my record speaks for itself in terms of the contributions I have amassed during my short time here. Most of my edits are in the main space and involve anti-vandalism, copyediting, and expanding. I have made an effort to warn disruptive editors, communicate with other users, and contribute ideas to help improve the wiki. You have gotten a good sense of where I am coming from, what my wiki background is, and what kind of editor I am. Although I disagree with the roleplaying occurring here and support the decision to remove chat, I have respected the rights of users here who wish to pursue those activities. I have also been paying attention to how the admin team has resolved issues in order to gain a sense of how this wiki is administered. I am not asking you to make an exception for me as I want to follow the process properly to become an admin here and will wait for nominations to be open again. However as I mentioned, this has been something that I have been thinking about and in a sense preparing for, by acting how I would if I were an admin, just without all the tools. I hope that you will forgive me as this has been somewhat long, and appreciate your time and understanding. Broken Sphere (Talk) 20:53, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Blogs on Pages
Hi TAP, i just wanted to say that there are a lot of people have been using pages to create their blogs. I think it is because most of them dont know how to use our blog feature, so i was wondering if maybe since there is a blog policy page now you should put that in the greeting message when people sign up. Or you could put something there that says pages are only for canon articles. Just a suggestion. ~ilovepeeta~  "Because she came here with me. . ." 03:38, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Dear TagAlongPam

Is there any way of prohibiting people from editing your blog except you? Because someone deleted all I had written and then only left a comment which was against my former profile. I don't know who, but I have left another comment on my profile saying I have put it to your knowledge. Sorry to sound so pompous but I hope there is something we can do to prevent it happening to others.

Admin
Hey pam i was wondering if i could become an administrator. I check blog post and the Recent Wiki activity AND make edits when NEEDED... I think i could really help make this wiki really all that it can be and of course because of the Hunger Games! Please take this into consideration or just keep an eye on me because i think i could really make a difference on this wiki especially with all this rubbish about chat...Please tell me what i should do so that this can become possible.

Thanks Again, District13 Tribute

P.S. I f this is unpossible at this time could you at least nominate me for a chat moderator? theselsvik 03:52, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

hey can u check ur recent messages i left u one about administratorship...

 * So i have to have 100 edits where it says Main?


 * Ok wat do u mean?

New lightbox
Hi, Recently the related videos module was activated here, and we hope that it’s working out well for the wiki. As part of improving the viewing experience of both photos and videos, we are working on a new lightbox. We would like to start rolling out the new version of the lightbox here next Wednesday June 6th. You might be wondering, what is new in this version? Improvements include: Please let me know if this wiki is ok with being in the first group to receive the new lightbox next Wednesday June 6th, as well as any questions or concerns you may have. Thanks Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:39, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * View all types of media (photos and videos) the same lightbox across your wiki (please note that videos that are embedded at width of 320px or larger will play in place on your article and will not launch the lightbox)
 * Continuous viewing - when viewing an item in the lightbox, you can advance through all other photos and videos from the article page
 * Share - you can now easily share out to multiple social media sites and by email right from the lightbox In the new share, the share URLs will share context by sending your friend to the original article page from which you shared with the lightbox loaded with the shared photo or video and all other photos available on the article page loaded into the carousel.
 * Better viewing experience - the lightbox is now larger and displays the maximum possible size of the photos so you can see your media in its best form.

oh i thot you could only revert vandalism a a rollback user i didnt know regular users could do it lol...sorry about that!

TDR97's complaints
I wanted to get your opinion on this but was hoping that I didn't need to. However the staff has been sporadic with their contributions and Kate.moon hasn't even responded to several messages yet.

Three weeks ago I deleted a blog that was off-topic per the blog policy. This greatly upset TDR97 (who was not the blog author, Tiki tooki was, but hasn't said a single thing about the deletion) and they complained about this to me as well as Necterine both on our talk pages (1 and 2) and in a blog post of their own. Despite repeated attempts to explain that the deletion is justified to TDR97 and the support of Necterine and Habernathy, TDR97 has refused to accept the blog policy and is still complaining about the deletion 3 weeks later as well and on a separate blog. They are entitled to their opinion this, but I am seeking some third party perspective as to whether or not the discussion should be allowed to continue or should be stopped because nothing new is being added and it has now become nonproductive complaining. Thanks. Broken Sphere (Talk) 22:19, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't been on much lately. I've been extremely busy. I'll try to get on a lot more over the next few weeks, though. Also, it's been a month since chat was disabled, so should we re-enable it? Looking at the new features, it could work out nicely. I didn't want to do anything without your okay first, though. 09:36, June 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, really? We don't have to? That makes things a whole lot easier, haha. So, when should chat be re-enabled? Now, or? 04:22, June 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Would it help to have additional guidelines discussed and set up before reenabling chat given the circumstances around which it was disabled? If so I suggest opening a discussion about this so that people know what to expect and how to behave so that the same issues are minimized or don't come up again to justify a permanent shut off. I know some users are asking about a return as the month is up but I think it would be helpful to step back a bit before potentially reopening Pandora's Box by just switching chat back on again.

 * Sorry but i was kinda following your messages to each other. I just want to know how you expect to send messages to EVERYONE. Can you do that?
