The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:

  • As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
  • Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages etc.
  • Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead by adding a link to the discussion page.
  • Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.
  • For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

Creating a new request — vandals
  1. Edit the Vandal issues section
  2. At the top of the list, use the ;{{user|IP address or username here}} template. Provide a short and neutral summary of the issue
Creating a new request — non-vandal cases (e.g. user issues, page protection/undeletion, etc.)
  1. Add a new section to the page using the "+" button at the top of the page
  2. In the subject field, enter an appropriate title , without using links or templates
  3. In the edit field, use the {{user|IP address or username here}} template to refer to users involved with the case. Provide a short and neutral summary of the issue.

As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any involved user.

[edit] Spoilers at the Recent changes page

Konig Des Todes (talk • contribs • logs • block log) has been adding spoilers about Ghosts of Ascalon at the edit summaries of some of his edits (examples - spoilers for GoA, of course - here and here). I have asked him to avoid adding spoilers to edit summaries, since users simply looking at the Recent changes page may accidentally see those spoilers, but he has refused to listen. I would like to ask an admin to tell him to stop adding spoilers from the book to edit summaries (it's perfectly viable to explain edits at articles' talk pages instead) and to hide the two revisions above, in order to remove those spoilers from the Recent changes page. Erasculio 22:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Relevant to this part as well; Erasculio (talk • contribs • logs • block log) has been trying to bait Konig again, as well as starting massive quotewars on his page. Konig, in fact, even asked Eras kindly not to,... 'Rekindle the ol' flame', so to speak.
Fights come from both sides, gentlemen. --Naoroji 22:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
On that note, more users have been baited by Erasculio and thereafter put a notice on this very page. If anything, to an outsider it would appear the victim is actually victimizing the so-to-speak "trolls". - Infinite - talk 22:41, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] On a brighter note

Consensus reached here. Requesting a full-move to Elder Dragon rather than Elder dragon. (As you're well aware, user moves leave messy articles.)- Infinite - talk 00:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Let's jump to being ugly already. Ariyen 17:41, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Replied on User talk:Ariyen regarding this issue. — Gares 18:02, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Aliceandsven

Aliceandsven (talk • contribs • logs • block log) has been posting links to leaked videos for the Necromancer and has trolled User:Konig Des Todes. They also refuse to take them down despite being asked several different times and even accused others of spreading them or uploading them.Aquadrizzt (talk)(contribs) 13:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Was already blocked earlier by Auron. — Gares 14:36, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Infinite (who has been fighting this longer than I have) and I would like to suggest perma-ban as there has been somewhere between half a dozen to a dozen attempts to circumvent the already existing ban. Aquadrizzt (talk)(contribs) 22:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
I would suggest locking his page. Erasculio 22:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
That too ^ +1 Aquadrizzt (talk)(contribs) 22:11, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Main Page

There seems to have been a consensus on the new design of the main page here. Should be okay to implement. Venom20 14:59, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I think most of us already have editcopy watched (I do at least). Anyway, synced. - Tanetris 15:16, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
I figured as much, but I wasn't too sure if a formal request here was needed or not. Thanks Venom20 17:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Question

What shall be done with drama on my User talk:Ariyen? I don't want any part in it or of it and so I'd really prefer an admin to deal with this... Ariyen 21:38, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I was really just wondering because all I got was a link to your archive with a huge wall of text. I was inquiring as to how that all got started D: Can't change the fact that the others follow my edits like rabid dogs lolol. --Naoroji 22:44, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
I've issued a warning of sorts. Naoroji, there are no shortcuts in life. If you want the full story, read the full text. Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png 22:56, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Very well :). --Naoroji 23:00, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Knighthonor

Knighthonor (talk • contribs • logs • block log) is, perhaps unwillingly, vandalizing the wiki. A look at his recent contributions shows that most of them have been reverted, most images he uploaded have been tagged for deletion for one reason or another, and he's still being sloppy. We have to try to incentive contributions and all that, sure, but his edits are actually giving more trouble than helping, since someone has to fix the mistakes he creates. We need someone to tell him (preferably nicely, which is why I'm not doing it myself) to stop that kind of thing. Erasculio 03:03, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Just want to note that some of the recent images he uploaded that were deleted came from the necro videos when they were leaked and a "do not touch" issue from Anet - and he might not have known as Alice&Sven linked him to the videos before he uploaded them (and even I didn't know they were from a leaked video at first). Not saying whether this is for or against him, just making a note of it for others to say which way this info should be taken. -- Konig/talk 04:54, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
I looked at his most recent 100 edits. I commented on his talk page regarding with what I felt was relevant. His uploaded images are of poor quality, but they are images not found anywhere else on the wiki at the time of uploading. It would be different if he was uploading those images over better quality images. The only two seemingly red flags are the revert war he seems to have with Emmisary and this edit. Emmisary and Knighthonor have been warned regarding their reverting behavior and I will assume the Pommel Strike edit was in good faith. — Gares 14:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting image move

Thanks to a mistake made by myself, File:2010 august event assist completed.jpg has the wrong name, but we cannot move it to the proper name since there's already something there, at File:2010 August event assist completed.jpg. I think, although I'm not sure, that sysops can move images past redirects like these, so instead of tagging it for deletion and then moving it, only to tag the move remnant to be deleted, I would like to ask a sysop to make the move. Erasculio 12:23, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Moved. There was a hiccup in the middle as the file itself didn't move along with the normal page history, but it was somehow possible to undelete the file at the new location, which fixed it. Anyway, it appears to be successful. pling 18:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! Erasculio 21:26, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
