The Sims Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 2
Updating portals
I floated this out there on the new theme discussion thread, but there have been no bites yet. So, I'm hoping that I'll get some response here.
We have several portal pages that need to be updated to the new theme. Specifically, the "module boxes", lines, header bars, and icons for the headers should be swapped out to the new style, as shown on the Main Page. We have four main portals, all of which need updating:
- The Sims Wiki:Fanon Portal
- The Sims Wiki:Community Portal
- The Sims Wiki:Development Portal
- The Sims Wiki:Admin Portal
Any help is greatly appreciated! - LostInRiverview talk • blog • contribs 20:34, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
- I made this. How does it look? All I did was changing the style to match the current wiki design... Does it need any changes? The portal mixes TS2 and TS3 icons on the headers. I like the TS3 icons, but not the TS2 ones.
- Have you considered making a template for the headers like {{MP header blue}} and {{MP header green}}? I think this part had better be discussed in the community discussion. Nikel Talk – Vote! 11:11, April 16, 2015 (UTC)
Friendly27
I know that Freindly27 is a sockpuppet of ILoveTheSims99 because of the user's disruptive behavior EPICSIMSPLAYER (talk) 00:04, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
- Assume good faith. Friendly27 hasn't done anything wrong as far as I know. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 00:17, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
Harassment In Chat
EPICSIMSPLAYER called me sock puppet in a private messegge and threaten to hack my account and she asked me for my password. She said she was gonna kill me. She said if I told on her she would lie to the admins and blame it on me.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Friendly27 (talk • contribs) 23:02, May 24, 2015 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~
I did not . He's making it up EPICSIMSPLAYER (talk) 23:29, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
- This is a he said, she said situation. Unless there is some concrete proof of wrongdoing, there won't be any action taken. If you two can't get along together, I'd advise you to stay away from each other on chat or elsewhere. - LostInRiverview talk • blog • contribs 01:08, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
Returning
Hi It's me KazeNoYouko I am back I forgot my password and don't have the Emial to change it. Can I have my bureaucrat rights back? KazeNoYesKo (talk) 16:27, June 14, 2015 (UTC)
Not done We can't prove that you are, in fact, KazeNoYouko. You will have to go through the TSW:RFB process again if you want to be a bureaucrat. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 17:37, June 14, 2015 (UTC)
- Agreed with K6ka. While we do need to assume good faith, the simple fact is we can't prove you are who you say you are. To give you bureaucrat rights without this proof could potentially give access to bureaucrat (and by extension, administrative) tools to someone who is an impostor. Unless you can come up with some manner of proving you are who you say you are, this request can't be considered. - LostInRiverview talk • blog • contribs 18:45, June 14, 2015 (UTC)
How can I prove myself? KazeNoYesKo (talk) 20:53, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
- A fire-sure way to prove you are who you say you are is to remember your password to get into your old account. Other than that, I can't think of any other way to prove who you are. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 21:00, June 18, 2015 (UTC
- Unfortunately, especially because it has been so long (things have changed around here), the only way I can think of you gaining bureaucrat is to go through the entire process once again, from rollback to administrator to bureaucrat. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 21:01, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
- Also since you left, the RfAs on this wiki have become much more formal. From what I've gathered when looking at the old revisions, it was all very simple for a user to be granted admin rights back then. But now it's more complicated than merely reverting vandalism. And I've heard that with the more formal RfA processes we have now "A user who could have passed an RfA or RfB five years ago, might not be able to do so today". While I don't disbelieve that you are in-fact KazeNoYouko, I too doubt you'll be able to prove yourself without accessing your old account. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 06:18, June 19, 2015 (UTC)
Wrong state icon in fanon
Hi, my sim was a sim (logical) but when she changed to fairy i changed her state in fanon to fairy but human icon is still, not fairy icon.. why? Colette Rousseau 17:34, June 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Use the {{Sim3}} template rather than the {{Sim}} template. That will fix it. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 17:45, June 16, 2015 (UTC)
- thanks Colette Rousseau 19:05, June 16, 2015 (UTC)
Uploading Images
When I tried to upload an image it said this page has been protected from editing when I did not edit it. KazeNoYesKo (talk) 15:19, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
- What is the title of the image you were trying to upload? --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 15:57, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
It was this image http://www.insimenator.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=113982.0;attach=121396;image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KazeNoYesKo (talk • contribs) 16:05, June 21, 2015 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~
- Perhaps I should rephrase my question. What destination filename were you uploading the image to? --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 16:41, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
The filename is Image.jpg. KazeNoYesKo (talk)| —Preceding undated comment added 16:54, June 21, 2015 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~
- Certain generic filenames have been locked. The image should be renamed so that the name is relevant to the image. Simply calling it 'image.jpg' does nothing to say what the image is. - LostInRiverview talk • blog • contribs 17:00, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
I uploaded it but I can't get it to appear on the who loves yay baby page. KazeNoYesKo (talk) 17:51, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
- Add it like you would any other image for an article. The code is
[[File:name of image.file extension]](e.g.[[File:Example.jpg]]. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 17:55, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
Fanon Being Added to Articles
This person - Littlepeanut was adding Fanon to articles. I reverted both edits, but not sure if this person is going to continue doing this. S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 01:12, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
- I have left a message on their talk page telling them why the reverts had been made and what procedure is acceptable with fanons. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 01:17, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
Someone has bad behavior on chat, again...
Hello. Someone has bad behavior on chat, again... I took a screenshot of it, again... Because it's the only way to proof it. But this doesn't seem right. On CCS Wikia they claim that he is a sock puppet. Sims

Someone said Hitler on chat
When I was on chat with 2 other users, Gerrysew joined the chat and said Hitler. I took a screenshot of it. I said shut up because I have bad memories from World War 2 and some relatives died in World War 2. I censored some other personal stuff. Sims Player (talk) (mistakes) 09:46, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
- I have warned Gerrysew on the matter. However, unless the user continues to act in this manner, I do not think any further action can be taken against them. —The Tim Man (IH • GC • TSW • AH • Contribs) 11:34, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
Someone adding wrong categories to articles
