It is our hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.

== Javascript Reported Vandals ==


== Request For Article Deletion ==
''No recent reports.''
Hello, I hope this is the correct page to ask for such things. I have done a lot of editing on the BSG: Deadlock articles and I have taken note that there was a duplicate article created (possibly my mistake) Please can I request that [[Assault Raptor|this]] (assault raptor) article be deleted? The duplicate for this article is [[Assault Raptor (Deadlock)|here]]. {{unsigned|Fisher 2000}}
<div style="clear:both;"></div>


: No worries! The duplicate has been deleted. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 03:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
== Username policy template update ==


== lost access to my old account ==
After a minor issue involving [[User:Saibot|one user's page]], I've revised the {{tl|username}} policy template so that it serves two roles. If admins encounter a username that's inappropriate:
hello! this is [[User:DrWho42]] from a new account. my old account used an old university email which i no longer have access to. if possible, i would like to regain access in preparation for the new series (love sam esmail and ''mr. robot''!).-[[User:DoctorWho42|DoctorWho42]] ([[User talk:DoctorWho42|talk]]) 02:03, 5 January 2020 (PST)
: Send me an email at webmaster@battlestarwiki.org with your new email address. I should be able to update your account and send you a password reset link. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 18:40, 5 January 2020 (PST)


== Improperly Archived Talk Pages ==
# Add {{tl|username}} to the '''top''' of the user's home account page.
I'm seeing a lot of archived pages in the Talk namespace with "/Archive 1" appended to their names, where the corresponding unprefixed Talk page does not exist. It looks like someone mass-archived talk pages and neglected to create new talk pages or an archive index. I suggest that we move these pages back to their unprefixed titles, with a bot or mass edit tool if possible. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] ([[User talk:April Arcus|talk]]) 19:59, 12 April 2020 (PDT)
# Unless the remaining content of the user's page is in violation of other policies, do NOT make any further changes to the user's home page.
: This was caused by the initial deployment of the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StructuredDiscussions StructuredDiscussions extension]. It should've provided a link the "archive" from the main "talk" page, but it didn't deploy that. I'm seeing about a means to rectify that. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 14:17, 13 April 2020 (PDT)
# Add a new topic to the user's talk page explaining the issue and give them an appropriate time to request a change per the [[BW:NAMES|username policy]], or note the account is banned if a significant violation.
:: 👍 --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] ([[User talk:April Arcus|talk]]) 16:57, 13 April 2020 (PDT)
 
The new template works for either scenario without having to add any other items to a user page. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:55, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
 
== BS Wiki pimped at SyFyPortal ==
 
Not sure if this is the right place to put it, but we got mentioned and linked to in an [http://www.syfyportal.com/news423852.html article over there], about the apparent appearance of the ''[[Demetrius]]'' in Season 4. Also contains an interesting spoiler about the Centurions, btw. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 12:39, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
: Actually, Michael Hinman (operator of SyFy Portal) e-mailed me just yesterday to let me know. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 13:18, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
 
== User:Sssjhnmh is up to no good ==
 
Sssjhnmh recently edited the page [[Angela]].  He left hundreds of the same links to an very inappropriate url.  He should be banned. {{unsigned|Veepz}}
 
Nevermind, Catrope took care of it.{{unsigned|Veepz}}
 
: Done. Thanks for the heads-up! :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 15:11, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 
Yeah, sorry I forgot about the sig, guess I was in a rush. [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 15:14, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

I think we're lucky that we get so few people like this. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 16:14, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
: Indeed. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 16:21, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
