== Battlestar Wiki &amp;quot;referenced&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
A &amp;quot;little bird&amp;quot; tipped me of to a [http://blog.sciam.com/index.php?title=doomsday_not_as_much_fun_as_you_d_think&amp;amp;more=1&amp;amp;c=1&amp;amp;tb=1&amp;amp;pb=1 Scientific American blog entry] that referenced Battlestar Wiki. It&#039;s kind of dangerous doing a direct link to wiki-content like that, but it&#039;s neat that we&#039;re being linked to. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:57, 7 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:For those curious, [[User:Gmusser]] is the author of the blog entry. (This can be deduced from the link and the author&#039;s name.) --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 23:28, 7 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Question: Should we be annoyed that someone used BattlestarWiki material in their magazine like that, or does it not matter because they&#039;re things he contributed to, or what?--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 23:35, 7 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::It doesn&#039;t strike me as a bad thing. Of course, I didn&#039;t check to see if the very similar wording was originally contributed by him; I&#039;d imagine it was, so it&#039;d be all positive. To work in a nitpick, so far as I can tell, it&#039;s not in the magazine, just online in their blog. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 04:41, 8 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==External images not working amnymore==&lt;br /&gt;
See my user page. All external images are no just showing as links --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 08:54, 7 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:That sounds like it&#039;s probably a Mediawiki setting that can be toggled. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:02, 7 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Yeah, it happened to me, as well; I tend to assume the same thing about the cause. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 23:13, 7 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Ive also noticed some odd things like the &amp;lt;nowki&amp;gt; tags and stuff arnt working properly, take a look at the box on the edit page where you can click the special characters and also the summaries on the recent edits. Has the wiki software been updated in the last few days to maybe have caused these little glitches? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:40, 10 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::I attempted to invoke {{tl|tl}} once or twice in edit summaries if that&#039;s what you mean, but I was forgetting that templates are not supposed to work in edit summaries. (It would do unfortunate things to upload summaries, for one thing.) --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:29, 10 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::No this is something thats happened very recently. Edit this page and look at the bottom of the page. The code to add to your edits now is wrapped with &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; when it shoudl&#039;nt parse that only the actual code in between. Its hard to explain but i think its related to the images not showing up Something has changed in the last week to make this all happen. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 02:56, 11 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::I&#039;ll look into this... it&#039;s probably a setting issue since I upgraded the Wiki software to MediaWiki 1.7.1. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:55, 11 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::Something else ive noticed. When you search for an article that has no page yet.

:::::::::I should have mentioned this but I noticed that if I hit ENTER key intead of clicking SEARCH, it gives the same behavior that Mercifull reports. (Maybe I shouldn&#039;t do that??).--[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 19:05, 13 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

The quote is in need of an update. Would anybody be willing to do the honors? --[[User:Kevin W.|Kevin W.]] 16:33, 13 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Often I have to do a Crtl-F5 in IE on one of my computers to get it to refresh the QotD. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 18:15, 13 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Depends on where you live also. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:18, 13 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The quote of the day today (October 7, 2006) is incorrect. It should be as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tyrol: You know, we need to figure out whose side we&#039;re on.&lt;br /&gt;
Tigh: Which side are we on. We&#039;re on the side of the demons, Chief. We&#039;re evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I&#039;m surprised you didn&#039;t know that.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;m used to the fixed-width typeface in the editing box. Is this a new characteristic of the three skin options?

==Airdates==&lt;br /&gt;
Holy cow! Being informative is good, but the Airdates section is continuing to grow unchecked. Any suggestions as to how we could slim down the look on the mainpage, but still have it be easy to access for people to find their respective airdates? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:00, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
: I know this might sound biased, but one idea is to just list the US, Canada and UK airdates on the main page, then list all the other country airdates on a subpage in a fashion similar to what we do with the Main Page news. Since most of our audience is going to be from those countries anyway, we may as well focus on them.-- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 11:52, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::I too was wary of bias. However, realistically we can&#039;t fit everybody&#039;s airdates on the main page. I&#039;d like to have that info here, but it&#039;s not our primary mission (we&#039;re not tvguide.com). I concur that we should select a cutoff for main page airdates and then store the rest on a separate page. Maybe a one-link depth (clicking the &amp;quot;airdates&amp;quot; icon would take you to the &amp;quot;All airdates&amp;quot; article, of which the &amp;quot;US/UK/CAN&amp;quot; is just one of the child templates. This would require a change to the main page (pointing to the new US/UK/CAN template), the creation of the US/UK/CAN template, and a massive redesign of Mainpage/airdates to accomodate the new &amp;quot;global airdate&amp;quot; scheme (as well as including a display/edit of the US/UK/CAN template). That&#039;d be my best guess. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:03, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::{{support}} Before it was a problem having no airdates. Now we have a ton. [[BW:TV]]? --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:41, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It might be late for my suggestions, but I was waiting for an official information. Here:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;1-&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;It&#039;s now official, Space Channel will be following the SciFi broadcasts. But it will be airing the day after, the saturday. So the Canadian airdate is almost the same as the US, it&#039;ll be kind of redundant, right? So my suggestion is to merge US and CAN, and have a side note that explain that CAN is the day after, the saturday.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Or 2-&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;My second suggestion is to have, on the main page, a quick list of the &#039;&#039;&#039;next new&#039;&#039;&#039; episode for each contry. Something like:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;US&#039;&#039;&#039; » &#039;&#039;Occupation&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Precipice&#039;&#039; - Fri. October 6th&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;CAN&#039;&#039;&#039; » &#039;&#039;Occupation&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Precipice&#039;&#039; - Sat. October 7th&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;UK&#039;&#039;&#039; » &#039;&#039;Occupation&#039;&#039; - October...&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;AUS&#039;&#039;&#039; » ...&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;etc.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::We can also use the flag of the country! The idea of the list came because I&#039;m not sure about the airdates of the reruns and the marathons needs to be on the main page and I think everyone can wish to come here just to have a quick look to know when the next episode is. But, with that, we create a second page with a section for each country for all the reruns airdates, the last week episode, the next two or tree weeks episodes... In other words, a TvGuide page. Some people might be interested in that kind of information, and since it won&#039;t be on the main page, I don&#039;t think that it&#039;s a problem to have a TvGuide.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Or&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;We keep it that way, it&#039;s good enough :) --[[User:Karoshi|Karōshi]] 13:13, 31 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Well... we already have the next and previous episode up at the top, but the airdates give the time and channel. {{flag|US}} is not working :( But to understand you correcty....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::Main page - Times of next episodes only.&lt;br /&gt;
::::Other airdates - Times of next episodes only.&lt;br /&gt;
::::(New Page) TV Reruns - Times of next reruns for the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::I would still suggest we keep the same lanauges and not do this witht he german dates as they have their own wiki. But US, UK, CAN, and AU I see no problem with.

:::::Why the US flag doesn&#039;t work?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;I agree to keep &#039;&#039;english&#039;&#039; airdates on the &#039;&#039;english&#039;&#039; main page (and german date with german wiki...). The idea with the list on the main page, is to have at most 2 lines per country (well maybe 3). And just have the next new episode &#039;&#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039;&#039;. Ex: The next new on SciFi is on October 6th. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The new page is for all the others airdates. Like Space Channel will, if I remember well, air once again TOS. So we need a kind of TvGuide. Re-air TOS or all the reruns or marathons, is kind of the same thing: an encore presentation. So the new page is for that, all the dates including the previous episode&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;So, MP is short and quick with every country watching in english (with the flags or not).&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;And New Page is long and detailed for every country (not for the one who has their wiki, like german).&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;I hope this is clear. --[[User:Karoshi|Karōshi]] 16:00, 31 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== News typo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hi all ... noticed a typo in the news box of the main page ... should say &amp;quot;January 21st 2007&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;2006&amp;quot; ...  [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 14:14, 21 November 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Fixed it. (The Fleet new service is editable by all, it&#039;s just the formatting layout of the main page that is locked down). I can relate though, as just today (thanks to a recycled UPS tracking number) I discovered that a package sent to me this week had been delivered on the 26th of January (of this year). The time machine appears to be going all sorts of haywire today... --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:21, 21 November 2006 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== All images are gone... ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On every page I visit, I cannot view any images, except the logo on the top left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have uploaded [http://www.solbu.net/bilder/bsg/ 2 screenshots] on my website to document this.&lt;br /&gt;
It does not matter what browser I use. All images are replaced with a broken image link that is supposed to be located at en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Gif or en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/gif.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This started a few weeks ago. All my computers, Windows and Linux clients alike have this problem. (I have not checked with IE, and I have no intention to, as IE is blocked in the firewall.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any ideas?&lt;br /&gt;

It&#039;s kind of dangerous doing a direct link to wiki-content like that, but it&#039;s neat that we&#039;re being linked to. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:57, 7 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Of course, I didn&#039;t check to see if the very similar wording was originally contributed by him; I&#039;d imagine it was, so it&#039;d be all positive.

== Styles: Font style in edit box ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m used to the fixed-width typeface in the editing box. Is this a new characteristic of the three skin options? I like the CSS for the most part, but it would be better to see text with a fixed width option more characteristic of wikis. Also, the Preview header text &amp;quot;This is only a preview; changes have not yet been saved!&amp;quot; shown in a article edit mode with the default BSG skin is so dark in my Firefox browser as to be unreadable.  --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:37, 23 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Airdates==&lt;br /&gt;
Holy cow! Being informative is good, but the Airdates section is continuing to grow unchecked. Any suggestions as to how we could slim down the look on the mainpage, but still have it be easy to access for people to find their respective airdates? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:00, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
: I know this might sound biased, but one idea is to just list the US, Canada and UK airdates on the main page, then list all the other country airdates on a subpage in a fashion similar to what we do with the Main Page news. Since most of our audience is going to be from those countries anyway, we may as well focus on them.-- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 11:52, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::I too was wary of bias. However, realistically we can&#039;t fit everybody&#039;s airdates on the main page. I&#039;d like to have that info here, but it&#039;s not our primary mission (we&#039;re not tvguide.com). I concur that we should select a cutoff for main page airdates and then store the rest on a separate page. Maybe a one-link depth (clicking the &amp;quot;airdates&amp;quot; icon would take you to the &amp;quot;All airdates&amp;quot; article, of which the &amp;quot;US/UK/CAN&amp;quot; is just one of the child templates. This would require a change to the main page (pointing to the new US/UK/CAN template), the creation of the US/UK/CAN template, and a massive redesign of Mainpage/airdates to accomodate the new &amp;quot;global airdate&amp;quot; scheme (as well as including a display/edit of the US/UK/CAN template). That&#039;d be my best guess. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:03, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::{{support}} Before it was a problem having no airdates. Now we have a ton. [[BW:TV]]? --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:41, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It might be late for my suggestions, but I was waiting for an official information. Here:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;1-&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;It&#039;s now official, Space Channel will be following the SciFi broadcasts. But it will be airing the day after, the saturday. So the Canadian airdate is almost the same as the US, it&#039;ll be kind of redundant, right? So my suggestion is to merge US and CAN, and have a side note that explain that CAN is the day after, the saturday.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Or 2-&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;My second suggestion is to have, on the main page, a quick list of the &#039;&#039;&#039;next new&#039;&#039;&#039; episode for each contry. Something like:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;US&#039;&#039;&#039; » &#039;&#039;Occupation&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Precipice&#039;&#039; - Fri. October 6th&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;CAN&#039;&#039;&#039; » &#039;&#039;Occupation&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Precipice&#039;&#039; - Sat. October 7th&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;UK&#039;&#039;&#039; » &#039;&#039;Occupation&#039;&#039; - October...&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;&#039;AUS&#039;&#039;&#039; » ...&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::::&#039;&#039;etc.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::We can also use the flag of the country! The idea of the list came because I&#039;m not sure about the airdates of the reruns and the marathons needs to be on the main page and I think everyone can wish to come here just to have a quick look to know when the next episode is. But, with that, we create a second page with a section for each country for all the reruns airdates, the last week episode, the next two or tree weeks episodes... In other words, a TvGuide page. Some people might be interested in that kind of information, and since it won&#039;t be on the main page, I don&#039;t think that it&#039;s a problem to have a TvGuide.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Or&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;We keep it that way, it&#039;s good enough :) --[[User:Karoshi|Karōshi]] 13:13, 31 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Well... we already have the next and previous episode up at the top, but the airdates give the time and channel. {{flag|US}} is not working :( But to understand you correcty....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::Main page - Times of next episodes only.&lt;br /&gt;
::::Other airdates - Times of next episodes only.&lt;br /&gt;
::::(New Page) TV Reruns - Times of next reruns for the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::I would still suggest we keep the same lanauges and not do this witht he german dates as they have their own wiki. But US, UK, CAN, and AU I see no problem with. I would have to get some more flags imported :-) --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 14:04, 31 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Why the US flag doesn&#039;t work?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;I agree to keep &#039;&#039;english&#039;&#039; airdates on the &#039;&#039;english&#039;&#039; main page (and german date with german wiki...). The idea with the list on the main page, is to have at most 2 lines per country (well maybe 3). And just have the next new episode &#039;&#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039;&#039;. Ex: The next new on SciFi is on October 6th. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The new page is for all the others airdates. Like Space Channel will, if I remember well, air once again TOS. So we need a kind of TvGuide. Re-air TOS or all the reruns or marathons, is kind of the same thing: an encore presentation. So the new page is for that, all the dates including the previous episode&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;So, MP is short and quick with every country watching in english (with the flags or not).&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;And New Page is long and detailed for every country (not for the one who has their wiki, like german).&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;I hope this is clear. --[[User:Karoshi|Karōshi]] 16:00, 31 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those who have access to West coast affiliates from the East/Central (KNBC), the time is actually August 14, 1AM/12C. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 17:54, 10 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==UK Season 3 airdates...==&lt;br /&gt;
In the UK Magazine [[Wikipedia:SFX magazine|SFX]] ( aci-Fi/Cult Magazine) they had a nice interview with grace park. At the end of the interview it said &amp;quot;Battlestar Galactica returns to Sky One early next year&amp;quot;. Now I was a bit disappointed by this but since then I found this article on [[Wikipedia:Digital Spy|DigitalSpy]] (a leading Digital TV guide in the UK) which has a Q&amp;amp;A thingy called TubeTalk. [http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds35946.html On August 17th] somebody asked the following question... &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I read on BSG wiki that season 3 is showing in Oct on Skyone. I know it starts Oct 6th in the US so I prey Sky don&#039;t delay it again till Jan 07. What do you know dude??&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
The answer given was&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;It should please you and many others to know that Battlestar will be back in October.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
In a newer version of TubeTalk dated [http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds36090.html August 24th] somebody asked a similar question.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I was wondering if you knew the dates for when Bones and Battlestar Galactica return to Sky One (I know it&#039;s October for BSG, but is there an actual date and time)? Thanks! I think your column rules.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
To which the reply was&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;My eyebrows are raised with suspicion because Bones will apparently be back before Christmas, although there&#039;s no fixed date yet. Battlestar is October but there&#039;s nothing concrete there either yet, I&#039;m afraid&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Seems that although its scheduled for October Sky One still haven&#039;t said for definite. This probably means that Sky One want to show it in October but greedy US bosses want it shown across the pond first :( If anyone here knows anything for definite, a quote from Sky perhaps then I would appreciate it. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 07:13, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds35946.html This person] I think read it wrong. We put October 2006 for the longest time, but didn&#039;t have UK or US on to top. I blame myself for that part, but we as a wiki have always maintaied October2006 was a confirmed date for US SciFi and not UK so where that person is saying that from is confusing. The second though sounds like they are still deciding. Maybe we should call the Offices of SciFi and find out what is going on. :o --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 07:20, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::The latest info I have come across (an &amp;quot;offical&amp;quot; email to someone) is &amp;quot;the new year.&amp;quot; Whatever that means :p. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 13:58, 14 September 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== SciFi Schedule ==&lt;br /&gt;
The schedule at SciFi shows that BSG stays at the 9:00PM on Oct. 13 slots with Dr. Who before and Threshold after.[http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3?date=13-OCT-2006&amp;amp;feed_req] --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:00, 25 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Project|Admin Noticeboard|image=BSG WIKI Postit.png|shortcut=BW:AN}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is my hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it&#039;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&#039;t get lost in the shuffle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are the archives:&lt;br /&gt;
{{archive-header&lt;br /&gt;

== Current Administrators ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Bureaucrats===&lt;br /&gt;
Bureaucrats are administrators who have the ability to make other users into administrators. Currently only [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] has this status.&lt;br /&gt;
===Sysops===&lt;br /&gt;
Sysops are administrators who have access to move, delete and restore pages as well as blocking malicious users. The current administrators are:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] &lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Day|Day]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin Jr.]] &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Battle Template==&lt;br /&gt;
Me and Shane have been working on a template with aim to replace the individual wikitables on the battle pages Merv created. I was hoping I would get some feedback from you on the appearance etc.&lt;br /&gt;
The testing area is [[User:Mercifull/Battle template|here]] and you can see the actual template at {{tl|Battle Data}} --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 13:49, 21 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I left a note at [[Template talk:Battle Data]]. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 14:24, 21 June 2006 (CDT)4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inadvertent Deletions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have inadvertently save over another&#039;s edit 2 0r 3 times (RFA for Merciful) in the last 2 days . I thought that the wiki prevented that automatically. Is it because I talking so longer to edit sometimes? Or is there a problem. Just don&#039;t want to keeping doing it. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:03, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I think this happens when two people are editing the same page, always preview your work before posting to make sure you havnt made a major fubar. I recently did it on the ships page cutting off half the page lol and if i had previwed i wouldnt have messed it up hehe. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 14:05, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::Thanks, I usually preview, but will make sure that I do in the future.--[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:08, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Steel re-added the vote, so no problem there. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 14:13, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::It also helps to only edit a section (not the whole article) when possible; this limits how much teeth gnashing you have to do as you repaste your contribution. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 17:25, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::For the record, that can&#039;t happen on an RFA due to it&#039;s design. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:00, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Unlock the [[BW:SC]] Archives ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am going around to most of the pages that are getting to long and making archives to keep the content clean and the [[BW:SC]] archives are protected and &#039;&#039;[[BW:RFA#Shane|I]]&#039;&#039; can not edit them. So can someone unlock them for me. They do not have to be locked up as items would have to be removed if the same issue arised in the future. Thanks. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 08:35, 24 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: I&#039;m confused... You want to archive the archives, or...? Maybe a link to the specific page you&#039;re wanting archived. --[[User:Day|Day]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard|Admin]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:25, 24 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: Just the old archived pages. It&#039;s already been done. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:55, 24 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::: Okay. I thought so... That&#039;s what had confused me. They didn&#039;t look locked to me. *wink* --[[User:Day|Day]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard|Admin]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 23:52, 24 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Request that User &amp;quot;Shane&amp;quot; be given a warning ban==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per the discussion on &amp;quot;[[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane]]&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per our banning policy:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;The Battlestar Wiki community, taking decisions according to appropriate community-designed policies with consensus support, following consensus on the case itself.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Administrators can impose a parole whereby any sysop can, at their judgement, impose a 24-hr temp ban for a violation of the parole, even though this offence would not normally be a bannable offence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per the Appeals Process for banning (my italics):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Community-derived bans may be appealed to Joe Beaudoin via a &#039;&#039;request for arbitration&#039;&#039;. Joe will decide such a case based on whether the ban followed a genuine Battlestar Wiki policy, whether the procedures were correctly followed, and whether the ban was consistent with other Battlestar Wiki policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m formally requesting the Administrators and specifically sysop/Bureaucrat Joe Beaudoin, to, as per the suggestons in the RFC linked above, give user Shane a warning ban of one week, followed by the standard probatationary period of one month.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:03, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think this process is already underway. The appropriate place for other administrators to weigh in on the decision is still the RFC. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 17:12, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::The &amp;quot;[[Battlestar_Wiki:Banning_policy|Ban]]&amp;quot; Policy is not even &amp;quot;Official&amp;quot;. It&#039;s {{tl|Proposed Policy}} --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:13, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given that Shane has apparently agreed with the results of his RFC to take a 7 day vacation, this proposal is a moot point.  Nevermind.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:47, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vandel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can not sit idlily by and watch this vandel mess up the site. I am taking action to revert the pages. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 23:40, 28 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Report on Vandalism by [[User:Mickey McGizzle]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary of Events===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 18:42, 28 June 2006, [[User:Mickey McGizzle|Mickey McGizzle]] joined Battlestar Wiki. He immediately initiated a series of attacks against several articles. These consisted of blanking the original content, which was replaced with a short string of nonsense, and quickly moving articles from one name to another, generating a massive number of redirects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 18:57, [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] took notice and posted a [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:Mickey_McGizzle&amp;amp;diff=prev&amp;amp;oldid=62022 comment] to McGizzle&#039;s user page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 19:00, Kkimball restored the contents of [[Battlestar Wiki:Cast and Crew]] (at that time located at &amp;quot;Cwap&amp;quot;). At 19:04, he restored the contents of [[Battlestar Wiki:Human Census Survey]], which had not been moved. At 19:24, he restored the contents of [[The Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game]], (at that time located at &amp;quot;The Land of Seventeen Guatemalens&amp;quot;) and attempted to return it to its original namespace by moving it to &amp;quot;A Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after Kkimball&#039;s edits, McGizzle renewed his attack on the Drinking Game, and retaliated with an attack on Kkimball&#039;s user page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 20:40, 28 June 2006, [[User:Shane|Shane]], currently banned from editing on an informal basis, posted a notice to [[Battlestar Wiki:Official Communiques]], due to an error on [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard]], which he corrected at 20:41. At 20:42, I reverted his comments to Official Communiques, and at 22:19, I moved his comment to the Administrators&#039; noticeboard. It is my opinion that due to the extraordinary circumstances at work, Shane&#039;s actions were not in violation of the terms of his ban as set forth in [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after his post to Official Communiques, Shane notified me of the attack via GMail. On 20:42, 28 June 2006, I banned Mickey McGizzle with an expiry time of infinite, and set to work on repairs. By 21:34, all the attacked articles had been restored and moved back to their original locations. By 22:04, all spurious redirects had been deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this time, [[User:The Merovingian]] attempted to help by tagging several redirects for deletion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Analysis===&lt;br /&gt;
====Damage====&lt;br /&gt;
*Mickey McGizzle was able to actively vandalize Battlestar Wiki for exactly two hours.&lt;br /&gt;
*He attacked a total of fourteen articles:&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Galactica Discovers Earth (Book)]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Sparto Relamia]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Galactica (RDM)]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Human Census Survey]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Cast and Crew]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[The Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Galactica]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[User:Kkimball]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:News]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Project List]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Site support]]&lt;br /&gt;
*He generated over 200 redirects.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Wiki remained vandalized for 52 minutes after Mickey McGizzle was banned. Deletion of all redirects took 1 hour and 22 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Response Time====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] first noticed the attack 15 minutes after it commenced, but he failed or was unable to report it to an Administrator.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]]&#039;s attempts to combat McGizzle&#039;s vandalism on his own were ineffectual.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Shane|Shane]] noticed the attack 1 hour and 58 minutes after it commenced, and notified me. If he had not done so, the damage would undoubtedly have been much worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Threat Assessment====&lt;br /&gt;
McGizzle&#039;s personal response to Kkimball ([http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User%3AKkimball&amp;amp;diff=62108&amp;amp;oldid=33060 replying] to a [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:Mickey_McGizzle&amp;amp;diff=prev&amp;amp;oldid=62022 comment] on his user page, and subsequently moving Kkimball&#039;s user page to &amp;quot;Fatass&amp;quot;) clearly indicates that he is not a bot, of the variety we&#039;ve occasionally seen depositing link span. That a human being was able to cause so much damage raises serious concerns over automated agents using the same techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McGizzle&#039;s vandalism method is extremely time consuming to revert. Vandalized articles must be identified from a large number of move log entries, then followed to their final destination, reverted, and returned to their original locations. This took an average of 3 minutes and 42 seconds per article. Following this, an enormous number of redirects must be deleted. This is tedious and inconveniently floods [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], but the presence of redirects does not directly harm the usability of the wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Recommendations===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I recommend that the ability to move pages be restricted to administrators, and, if possible, other trusted users. I understand that current versions of MediaWiki allow a distinction to be made between newly registered users and old hands; if it would be possible to implement such a thing here, that would be ideal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Straightforward vandalism would still be possible, but it is much easier to revert than the redirect technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that it took two hours for an administrator to be notified of the attack is extremely disturbing. Hopefully Mercifull&#039;s election as an Admin will enable more round-the-clock surveillance, but Kkimball&#039;s attempt to revert McGizzle&#039;s edits personally, rather than contact an Admin is disappointing. Presumably, it simply didn&#039;t occur to him. Perhaps contact information for admins should be consolidated in another location besides user pages, to which a link could be included in the welcome greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Star of Kobol|Stars of Kobol]] should be awarded to [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]], [[User:Shane|Shane]] and [[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] for their valiant efforts to stop McGizzle&#039;s rampage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:15, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Its a shame this has happened, at a time when some people were contemplating opening the wiki to guests I feel that we cannot ever do this now. For every minute this mailicious user was here he caused 3 minutes of time to fix. I have a few suggestions however i am unsure if they can be implemented:&lt;br /&gt;
#Make it so only administrators can move/rename a page. While this wouldnt stop someone manually making a new page and then adding a redirect to the old one it would certainly slow them down.&lt;br /&gt;
#Edit limit for new users. I&#039;m not sure if this can be done with MediaWiki but is it possible to limit the number of edits per hour/day for new users?&lt;br /&gt;
#Limit on the number of &amp;quot;New&amp;quot; pages that newly signed up users can make.&lt;br /&gt;
#Wikipedia runs some bots that look for these kinds of mass changes by users and reverts them and blocks the user. Is that kind of thing possible here?&lt;br /&gt;
#Make it so pages cannot be blanked... minimum number of characters for example.&lt;br /&gt;
:Just a few ideas. I think its something that needs to be discussed in detail fairly soon. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:14, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I also think that with users such as this blocking just isnt enough. These kinds of people need to be [http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess5.shtml completely banned] from the site using .htaccess --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:27, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::The timing of this is extremely unfortunate. The type of vandalism involved is something we have never see here at this wiki. Previously all vandalism has been either a direct personal attack (user pages, etc.) or more commercial in nature (editing pages to include invisible spam links). This is the first time that I am aware of that an individual has committed vandalism solely for what appears to be their own amusement. While the thought of this type of attack had been considered (it wasn&#039;t &amp;quot;inconceivable&amp;quot;), I imagine we all thought it unlikely as no such attack had occured for so long (even when we had less restrictive login requirements).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::In the &amp;quot;Recent Changes&amp;quot; banner, there is text that states that &amp;quot;If you find any vandalism or edits that need to be brought to the attention of an admin, report it here.&amp;quot; (With a link to the admin noticeboard.) Unfortunately that might not be read/paid attention to much. Also, while the noticeboard IS on my watchlist, it won&#039;t generate an email notice like a note on a user page would. I definitely concur that some research should go towards improving accessibility to Admins and educating editors about who should be contacted in the case of an emergency (like this one).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I agree that an attack of this magnitude merits an evaluation of our security protocols. (Would such a discussion be best suited here? The Quorum?) I would like to urge that we not be too hasty in locking things down, though, and should perhaps let the sting of this attack subside somewhat before any security decisions are finalized. If we allow this incident to harm the daily experience of our average editors, then this &amp;quot;terrorist&amp;quot; will have had more impact on this world than they deserve to have made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Lastly, I second the call for a commendation of [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]], [[User:Shane|Shane]] and [[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]]. Dedicated editors like them are what keep this place running. I concur that this incident should have no bearing on Shane&#039;s RFC-imposed &amp;quot;vacation&amp;quot;. While he is obviously still checking up on the place, he prevented a great deal more work through his timely contacting of an administrator. I would also like to thank [[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] for his diligence in dispatching and cleaning up after the vandal. It might be a good idea to work out a protocol for distributing vandal cleanup work amongst administrators, in the event more than one is active or in the event of a larger attack. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:13, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Thanks for your kind words, guys, though I&#039;d like to apologize. Though my immediate thought was to contact an admin, the user page didn&#039;t occur to me as I haven&#039;t used the mediawiki software in a peroid of several months previous to my return last night. I&#039;m afraid my attempts to restore the content were somewhat feeble, but I&#039;m glad this could all be fixed relatively simply (if not quickly). [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] 08:39, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I would agree to an open discussion on the issue of &amp;quot;wiki security&amp;quot;, for lack of a better term. It would probably be best to discuss it on the Quorum so that all users can put in their two cubits. I know we&#039;ve just recently brought up on [[Talk:Main Page]] about how we can lessen our editing restrictions, so I would really like that discussion to coincide with the &amp;quot;wiki security&amp;quot; one because, at the end of the day, they are both the same. Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:40, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::(Damn if wasn&#039;t able to be on at the time to help; I finally have some success in getting a new job, which took most of yesterday.) I concur with the &amp;quot;trusted users&amp;quot; limiting. I think that no user with less than 100 edits can move articles. Gives plenty of time for newbies to get used to things without messing up badly, and keeps what happened from happening again in such severity. New users with less than 100 edits could be limited to 5 edits per hour; after 50 edits, 10 edits/hr, and no limit (and privileges to move articles) after 100 edits. That might also help against any bots used to attempt to circumvent the process. Kudos to the three who tried to fix the damage!--[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:57, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree that Shane should not be punished, special circumstances.  I&#039;m sorry I didn&#039;t notice earlier, but I have to sleep sometime :) Ironically, before logging out the last thing I saw was that a new user named McGizzle had joined, and was annoyed that I logged out without giving him the big hello.  Yikes.  Well, ----&amp;gt;This event has caused me to change my position on allowing unregistered users.  There are those that hate TNS enough that they would smash BSWiki to atoms if they could.  I propose voting Joe emergency powers, and creating a Grand Army of BattlestarWiki to counter the increasing threats of the Vandals.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:01, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

To request a move, please post your move notice here. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:07, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Shane&#039;s RFC and the Think Tank ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane|The RFC]] on Shane has been officially closed. As I noted on Shane&#039;s talk page, his vacation begins on Friday, June 30th at 12:01 A.M. UTC and will officially end on July 7 at 12:01 A.M. UTC. As decided in the RFC, he&#039;s not officially blocked, unless he makes any edits during his vacation from the wiki. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should &#039;&#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039;&#039; happen, I will officially do the blocking. I request that no other administrator do this action. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that Shane is on his vacation, the question of who will be willing to keep an eye on his contributions needs to be addressed. Peter is exempt from this due to the friction between them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, as mentioned in the RFC, I will be creating the [[Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank|Think Tank]]. I would welcome everyone to help build this while Shane is on vacation. This is where all the major stuff will happen, and that &amp;quot;major stuff&amp;quot; is to be determined by the consensus of the administrators, per Day&#039;s points. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, if there are any questions, please ask away. Thank you. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:49, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll keep an eye on Shane&#039;s contributions and note on your talk page if there&#039;s a change that&#039;s against his parole. (I look like a bouncer, anyway.) Shane can take heart; Lee Adama was put in the brig once, but look what [[Pegasus (RDM)|happened]] to him. :) --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 22:03, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: I have the &#039;&#039;will&#039; to keep an eye on Shane edits, but I&#039;m not certain I have the ability. I go a few days without looking at the Wiki on occasion and sometimes I don&#039;t have much time for it when I do get a look. Also, in August, I&#039;ll be moving (yay!), which means I will have various things to prepare before then. Anyway, I guess what I&#039;m saying is, if you need me, I&#039;ll do my best, but I&#039;m making no promises. *wink* Maybe someone else will step up like Spence and make the full time commitment. --[[User:Day|Day]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard|Admin]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:44, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Problem with mail validation==&lt;br /&gt;
In my preferences in the &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; section it say that &amp;quot;Your e-mail address is not yet authenticated. No e-mail will be sent for any of the following features.&amp;quot; with a link to [[Special:Confirmemail|Confirm your e-mail address]]. When I click this I push a button to mail out a validation code but I never recieve one. I have tried several times and checked my spam box but still nothing. Because my email is not validated I cannot set it up to send me notices on changed etc. Does anyone know how to fix this? My email is correct in the &#039;&#039;&#039;user profile&#039;&#039;&#039; box. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 06:04, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ve had this happen, too, earlier in the year when I had to use public terminals. Joe should know how to fix it. Place a note on his talk page to ensure he knows, and leave the email address you prefer to use. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:23, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The problem is in the emailserver. I administer several mailservers in various locations. And I&#039;ve seen what is wrong. The emailserver that battlestarwiki.org (BSW) use to send us emails are not configured properly. BSW&#039;s &amp;quot;HELO&amp;quot; says it is a mailserver who&#039;s hostname does not exist. The hostname reported in BSW&#039;s HELO &#039;&#039;&#039;vps.battlestarwiki.org&#039;&#039;&#039; does not exist. Therefore all emails from BSW&#039;s outgoing emailserver will automatically be rejected by our mailservers as SPAM or fraudulent in some way. (SPAM bots always use false and non-existent HELO&#039;s)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Most likely [http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#myhostname &amp;quot;myhostname&amp;quot;] and/or [http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_banner &amp;quot;smtp_banner&amp;quot;] (for [http://www.postfix.org/ postfix] servers) in BSW&#039;s email configuration is wrong or someone forgot to add the A/CNAME record. --[[User:Solbu|Solbu]] 07:02, 13 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==VandalBot Feature==&lt;br /&gt;
I was scanning administrator help pages on Wikipedia when I stumbled onto [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vandalbot the Vandalbot feature in MediaWiki]. This apparently allows an admin to use a bot to automatically rollback ALL user contributions. If we could have used this for the last horrific attack, it could have saved some time. Is this something we have available or can use? --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:22, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit_throttling Edit throttling] is a topic in Wikimedia to explore in regards to limiting edits per hour. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:31, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:The Vandalbot feature seems interesting. To roll back all edits by a specific user would be an impressive tool to have in the box agaisnt vandals and spammers. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:50, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:This rollback tool is good, but I don&#039;t think we should limit the number of edits a user can make per hour.  Several of our regualrs, when  on a roll the night an episode airs, post as fast as he did in that attaack, so we shouldn&#039;t limit that.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:50, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== How do you sign up to be a mirror? ==&lt;br /&gt;

Hey all, I&#039;m the webmaster of bsgtns.com and one of the owners of MediaBlvd.  We think this is a pretty cool thing that you have here, and would like to offer up some server space for a mirror.  MB has 6 high end servers, and good deals on bandwidth.  I might be missing how to go about that, as I&#039;m fairly new to this space.  I did want to say that I really like the concept though, and I spent several hours going thru the Wiki yesterday, and liked what I saw enough to want to be involved-- NetRanger&lt;br /&gt;

Is it because I talking so longer to edit sometimes? Or is there a problem. Just don&#039;t want to keeping doing it. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:03, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I think this happens when two people are editing the same page, always preview your work before posting to make sure you havnt made a major fubar. I recently did it on the ships page cutting off half the page lol and if i had previwed i wouldnt have messed it up hehe. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 14:05, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

I am going around to most of the pages that are getting to long and making archives to keep the content clean and the [[BW:SC]] archives are protected and &#039;&#039;[[BW:RFA#Shane|I]]&#039;&#039; can not edit them.

==Request that User &amp;quot;Shane&amp;quot; be given a warning ban==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per the discussion on &amp;quot;[[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane]]&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per our banning policy:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;The Battlestar Wiki community, taking decisions according to appropriate community-designed policies with consensus support, following consensus on the case itself.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Administrators can impose a parole whereby any sysop can, at their judgement, impose a 24-hr temp ban for a violation of the parole, even though this offence would not normally be a bannable offence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per the Appeals Process for banning (my italics):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Community-derived bans may be appealed to Joe Beaudoin via a &#039;&#039;request for arbitration&#039;&#039;. Joe will decide such a case based on whether the ban followed a genuine Battlestar Wiki policy, whether the procedures were correctly followed, and whether the ban was consistent with other Battlestar Wiki policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m formally requesting the Administrators and specifically sysop/Bureaucrat Joe Beaudoin, to, as per the suggestons in the RFC linked above, give user Shane a warning ban of one week, followed by the standard probatationary period of one month.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:03, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think this process is already underway. The appropriate place for other administrators to weigh in on the decision is still the RFC. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 17:12, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Given that Shane has apparently agreed with the results of his RFC to take a 7 day vacation, this proposal is a moot point.  Nevermind.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:47, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Report on Vandalism by [[User:Mickey McGizzle]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary of Events===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 18:42, 28 June 2006, [[User:Mickey McGizzle|Mickey McGizzle]] joined Battlestar Wiki. He immediately initiated a series of attacks against several articles. These consisted of blanking the original content, which was replaced with a short string of nonsense, and quickly moving articles from one name to another, generating a massive number of redirects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 18:57, [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] took notice and posted a [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:Mickey_McGizzle&amp;amp;diff=prev&amp;amp;oldid=62022 comment] to McGizzle&#039;s user page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 19:00, Kkimball restored the contents of [[Battlestar Wiki:Cast and Crew]] (at that time located at &amp;quot;Cwap&amp;quot;). At 19:04, he restored the contents of [[Battlestar Wiki:Human Census Survey]], which had not been moved. At 19:24, he restored the contents of [[The Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game]], (at that time located at &amp;quot;The Land of Seventeen Guatemalens&amp;quot;) and attempted to return it to its original namespace by moving it to &amp;quot;A Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after Kkimball&#039;s edits, McGizzle renewed his attack on the Drinking Game, and retaliated with an attack on Kkimball&#039;s user page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 20:40, 28 June 2006, [[User:Shane|Shane]], currently banned from editing on an informal basis, posted a notice to [[Battlestar Wiki:Official Communiques]], due to an error on [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard]], which he corrected at 20:41. At 20:42, I reverted his comments to Official Communiques, and at 22:19, I moved his comment to the Administrators&#039; noticeboard. It is my opinion that due to the extraordinary circumstances at work, Shane&#039;s actions were not in violation of the terms of his ban as set forth in [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after his post to Official Communiques, Shane notified me of the attack via GMail. On 20:42, 28 June 2006, I banned Mickey McGizzle with an expiry time of infinite, and set to work on repairs. By 21:34, all the attacked articles had been restored and moved back to their original locations. By 22:04, all spurious redirects had been deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this time, [[User:The Merovingian]] attempted to help by tagging several redirects for deletion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Analysis===&lt;br /&gt;
====Damage====&lt;br /&gt;
*Mickey McGizzle was able to actively vandalize Battlestar Wiki for exactly two hours.&lt;br /&gt;
*He attacked a total of fourteen articles:&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Galactica Discovers Earth (Book)]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Sparto Relamia]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Galactica (RDM)]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Human Census Survey]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Cast and Crew]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[The Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Galactica]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[User:Kkimball]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:News]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Project List]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Site support]]&lt;br /&gt;
*He generated over 200 redirects.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Wiki remained vandalized for 52 minutes after Mickey McGizzle was banned. Deletion of all redirects took 1 hour and 22 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Response Time====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] first noticed the attack 15 minutes after it commenced, but he failed or was unable to report it to an Administrator.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]]&#039;s attempts to combat McGizzle&#039;s vandalism on his own were ineffectual.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Shane|Shane]] noticed the attack 1 hour and 58 minutes after it commenced, and notified me. If he had not done so, the damage would undoubtedly have been much worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Threat Assessment====&lt;br /&gt;
McGizzle&#039;s personal response to Kkimball ([http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User%3AKkimball&amp;amp;diff=62108&amp;amp;oldid=33060 replying] to a [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:Mickey_McGizzle&amp;amp;diff=prev&amp;amp;oldid=62022 comment] on his user page, and subsequently moving Kkimball&#039;s user page to &amp;quot;Fatass&amp;quot;) clearly indicates that he is not a bot, of the variety we&#039;ve occasionally seen depositing link span. That a human being was able to cause so much damage raises serious concerns over automated agents using the same techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McGizzle&#039;s vandalism method is extremely time consuming to revert. Vandalized articles must be identified from a large number of move log entries, then followed to their final destination, reverted, and returned to their original locations. This took an average of 3 minutes and 42 seconds per article. Following this, an enormous number of redirects must be deleted. This is tedious and inconveniently floods [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], but the presence of redirects does not directly harm the usability of the wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Recommendations===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I recommend that the ability to move pages be restricted to administrators, and, if possible, other trusted users. I understand that current versions of MediaWiki allow a distinction to be made between newly registered users and old hands; if it would be possible to implement such a thing here, that would be ideal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Straightforward vandalism would still be possible, but it is much easier to revert than the redirect technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that it took two hours for an administrator to be notified of the attack is extremely disturbing. Hopefully Mercifull&#039;s election as an Admin will enable more round-the-clock surveillance, but Kkimball&#039;s attempt to revert McGizzle&#039;s edits personally, rather than contact an Admin is disappointing. Presumably, it simply didn&#039;t occur to him. Perhaps contact information for admins should be consolidated in another location besides user pages, to which a link could be included in the welcome greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Star of Kobol|Stars of Kobol]] should be awarded to [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]], [[User:Shane|Shane]] and [[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] for their valiant efforts to stop McGizzle&#039;s rampage.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Its a shame this has happened, at a time when some people were contemplating opening the wiki to guests I feel that we cannot ever do this now. For every minute this mailicious user was here he caused 3 minutes of time to fix. I have a few suggestions however i am unsure if they can be implemented:&lt;br /&gt;
#Make it so only administrators can move/rename a page. While this wouldnt stop someone manually making a new page and then adding a redirect to the old one it would certainly slow them down.&lt;br /&gt;
#Edit limit for new users. I&#039;m not sure if this can be done with MediaWiki but is it possible to limit the number of edits per hour/day for new users?&lt;br /&gt;
#Limit on the number of &amp;quot;New&amp;quot; pages that newly signed up users can make.&lt;br /&gt;
#Wikipedia runs some bots that look for these kinds of mass changes by users and reverts them and blocks the user. Is that kind of thing possible here?&lt;br /&gt;
#Make it so pages cannot be blanked... minimum number of characters for example.&lt;br /&gt;
:Just a few ideas. I think its something that needs to be discussed in detail fairly soon. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:14, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I also think that with users such as this blocking just isnt enough. These kinds of people need to be [http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess5.shtml completely banned] from the site using .htaccess --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:27, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::The timing of this is extremely unfortunate. The type of vandalism involved is something we have never see here at this wiki. Previously all vandalism has been either a direct personal attack (user pages, etc.) or more commercial in nature (editing pages to include invisible spam links). This is the first time that I am aware of that an individual has committed vandalism solely for what appears to be their own amusement. While the thought of this type of attack had been considered (it wasn&#039;t &amp;quot;inconceivable&amp;quot;), I imagine we all thought it unlikely as no such attack had occured for so long (even when we had less restrictive login requirements).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::In the &amp;quot;Recent Changes&amp;quot; banner, there is text that states that &amp;quot;If you find any vandalism or edits that need to be brought to the attention of an admin, report it here.&amp;quot; (With a link to the admin noticeboard.) Unfortunately that might not be read/paid attention to much. Also, while the noticeboard IS on my watchlist, it won&#039;t generate an email notice like a note on a user page would. I definitely concur that some research should go towards improving accessibility to Admins and educating editors about who should be contacted in the case of an emergency (like this one).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I agree that an attack of this magnitude merits an evaluation of our security protocols. (Would such a discussion be best suited here? The Quorum?) I would like to urge that we not be too hasty in locking things down, though, and should perhaps let the sting of this attack subside somewhat before any security decisions are finalized. If we allow this incident to harm the daily experience of our average editors, then this &amp;quot;terrorist&amp;quot; will have had more impact on this world than they deserve to have made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Lastly, I second the call for a commendation of [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]], [[User:Shane|Shane]] and [[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]]. Dedicated editors like them are what keep this place running. I concur that this incident should have no bearing on Shane&#039;s RFC-imposed &amp;quot;vacation&amp;quot;. While he is obviously still checking up on the place, he prevented a great deal more work through his timely contacting of an administrator. I would also like to thank [[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] for his diligence in dispatching and cleaning up after the vandal. It might be a good idea to work out a protocol for distributing vandal cleanup work amongst administrators, in the event more than one is active or in the event of a larger attack. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:13, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Thanks for your kind words, guys, though I&#039;d like to apologize. Though my immediate thought was to contact an admin, the user page didn&#039;t occur to me as I haven&#039;t used the mediawiki software in a peroid of several months previous to my return last night. I&#039;m afraid my attempts to restore the content were somewhat feeble, but I&#039;m glad this could all be fixed relatively simply (if not quickly). [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] 08:39, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I would agree to an open discussion on the issue of &amp;quot;wiki security&amp;quot;, for lack of a better term. It would probably be best to discuss it on the Quorum so that all users can put in their two cubits. I know we&#039;ve just recently brought up on [[Talk:Main Page]] about how we can lessen our editing restrictions, so I would really like that discussion to coincide with the &amp;quot;wiki security&amp;quot; one because, at the end of the day, they are both the same.

&lt;br /&gt;
:::(Damn if wasn&#039;t able to be on at the time to help; I finally have some success in getting a new job, which took most of yesterday.) I concur with the &amp;quot;trusted users&amp;quot; limiting. I think that no user with less than 100 edits can move articles. Gives plenty of time for newbies to get used to things without messing up badly, and keeps what happened from happening again in such severity. New users with less than 100 edits could be limited to 5 edits per hour; after 50 edits, 10 edits/hr, and no limit (and privileges to move articles) after 100 edits. That might also help against any bots used to attempt to circumvent the process. Kudos to the three who tried to fix the damage!--[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:57, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree that Shane should not be punished, special circumstances.  I&#039;m sorry I didn&#039;t notice earlier, but I have to sleep sometime :) Ironically, before logging out the last thing I saw was that a new user named McGizzle had joined, and was annoyed that I logged out without giving him the big hello.  Yikes.  Well, ----&amp;gt;This event has caused me to change my position on allowing unregistered users.  There are those that hate TNS enough that they would smash BSWiki to atoms if they could.

== Shane&#039;s RFC and the Think Tank ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane|The RFC]] on Shane has been officially closed. As I noted on Shane&#039;s talk page, his vacation begins on Friday, June 30th at 12:01 A.M. UTC and will officially end on July 7 at 12:01 A.M. UTC. As decided in the RFC, he&#039;s not officially blocked, unless he makes any edits during his vacation from the wiki. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should &#039;&#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039;&#039; happen, I will officially do the blocking. I request that no other administrator do this action. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that Shane is on his vacation, the question of who will be willing to keep an eye on his contributions needs to be addressed. Peter is exempt from this due to the friction between them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, as mentioned in the RFC, I will be creating the [[Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank|Think Tank]]. I would welcome everyone to help build this while Shane is on vacation. This is where all the major stuff will happen, and that &amp;quot;major stuff&amp;quot; is to be determined by the consensus of the administrators, per Day&#039;s points. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, if there are any questions, please ask away. Thank you. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:49, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

: I have the &#039;&#039;will&#039; to keep an eye on Shane edits, but I&#039;m not certain I have the ability. I go a few days without looking at the Wiki on occasion and sometimes I don&#039;t have much time for it when I do get a look. Also, in August, I&#039;ll be moving (yay!), which means I will have various things to prepare before then. Anyway, I guess what I&#039;m saying is, if you need me, I&#039;ll do my best, but I&#039;m making no promises. *wink* Maybe someone else will step up like Spence and make the full time commitment. --[[User:Day|Day]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard|Admin]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:44, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:I&#039;ve had this happen, too, earlier in the year when I had to use public terminals. Joe should know how to fix it. Place a note on his talk page to ensure he knows, and leave the email address you prefer to use. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:23, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:The problem is in the emailserver. I administer several mailservers in various locations. And I&#039;ve seen what is wrong. The emailserver that battlestarwiki.org (BSW) use to send us emails are not configured properly. BSW&#039;s &amp;quot;HELO&amp;quot; says it is a mailserver who&#039;s hostname does not exist. The hostname reported in BSW&#039;s HELO &#039;&#039;&#039;vps.battlestarwiki.org&#039;&#039;&#039; does not exist. Therefore all emails from BSW&#039;s outgoing emailserver will automatically be rejected by our mailservers as SPAM or fraudulent in some way. (SPAM bots always use false and non-existent HELO&#039;s)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Most likely [http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#myhostname &amp;quot;myhostname&amp;quot;] and/or [http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_banner &amp;quot;smtp_banner&amp;quot;] (for [http://www.postfix.org/ postfix] servers) in BSW&#039;s email configuration is wrong or someone forgot to add the A/CNAME record. --[[User:Solbu|Solbu]] 07:02, 13 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==VandalBot Feature==&lt;br /&gt;
I was scanning administrator help pages on Wikipedia when I stumbled onto [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vandalbot the Vandalbot feature in MediaWiki]. This apparently allows an admin to use a bot to automatically rollback ALL user contributions. If we could have used this for the last horrific attack, it could have saved some time. Is this something we have available or can use? --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:22, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit_throttling Edit throttling] is a topic in Wikimedia to explore in regards to limiting edits per hour. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:31, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:The Vandalbot feature seems interesting. To roll back all edits by a specific user would be an impressive tool to have in the box agaisnt vandals and spammers. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:50, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:This rollback tool is good, but I don&#039;t think we should limit the number of edits a user can make per hour.  Several of our regualrs, when  on a roll the night an episode airs, post as fast as he did in that attaack, so we shouldn&#039;t limit that.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:50, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:I don&#039;t fully agree with edit-throttling. I will look into installing the VandalBot, however, as I have a feeling that this will be a good tool for us.

== How do you sign up to be a mirror? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey all, I&#039;m the webmaster of bsgtns.com and one of the owners of MediaBlvd.  We think this is a pretty cool thing that you have here, and would like to offer up some server space for a mirror.  MB has 6 high end servers, and good deals on bandwidth.  I might be missing how to go about that, as I&#039;m fairly new to this space.  I did want to say that I really like the concept though, and I spent several hours going thru the Wiki yesterday, and liked what I saw enough to want to be involved-- NetRanger&lt;br /&gt;
:[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|talk to joe]]. I think usually the mirror deals with running the software of mediawiki and one site having access to the other and vice-versa. Joe is currently sick. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 19:12, 31 July 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is my hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it&#039;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&#039;t get lost in the shuffle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are the archives:&lt;br /&gt;

Bureaucrats are administrators who have the ability to make other users into administrators. Currently only [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] has this status.&lt;br /&gt;
===Sysops===&lt;br /&gt;
Sysops are administrators who have access to move, delete and restore pages as well as blocking malicious users. The current administrators are:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have inadvertently save over another&#039;s edit 2 0r 3 times (RFA for Merciful) in the last 2 days . I thought that the wiki prevented that automatically. Is it because I talking so longer to edit sometimes? Or is there a problem. Just don&#039;t want to keeping doing it. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:03, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I think this happens when two people are editing the same page, always preview your work before posting to make sure you havnt made a major fubar. I recently did it on the ships page cutting off half the page lol and if i had previwed i wouldnt have messed it up hehe. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 14:05, 23 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Request that User &amp;quot;Shane&amp;quot; be given a warning ban==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per the discussion on &amp;quot;[[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane]]&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per our banning policy:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;The Battlestar Wiki community, taking decisions according to appropriate community-designed policies with consensus support, following consensus on the case itself.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Administrators can impose a parole whereby any sysop can, at their judgement, impose a 24-hr temp ban for a violation of the parole, even though this offence would not normally be a bannable offence.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per the Appeals Process for banning (my italics):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Community-derived bans may be appealed to Joe Beaudoin via a &#039;&#039;request for arbitration&#039;&#039;. Joe will decide such a case based on whether the ban followed a genuine Battlestar Wiki policy, whether the procedures were correctly followed, and whether the ban was consistent with other Battlestar Wiki policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m formally requesting the Administrators and specifically sysop/Bureaucrat Joe Beaudoin, to, as per the suggestons in the RFC linked above, give user Shane a warning ban of one week, followed by the standard probatationary period of one month.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:03, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think this process is already underway. The appropriate place for other administrators to weigh in on the decision is still the RFC. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 17:12, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::The &amp;quot;[[Battlestar_Wiki:Banning_policy|Ban]]&amp;quot; Policy is not even &amp;quot;Official&amp;quot;. It&#039;s {{tl|Proposed Policy}} --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:13, 25 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given that Shane has apparently agreed with the results of his RFC to take a 7 day vacation, this proposal is a moot point.  Nevermind.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:47, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Report on Vandalism by [[User:Mickey McGizzle]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Summary of Events===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 18:42, 28 June 2006, [[User:Mickey McGizzle|Mickey McGizzle]] joined Battlestar Wiki. He immediately initiated a series of attacks against several articles. These consisted of blanking the original content, which was replaced with a short string of nonsense, and quickly moving articles from one name to another, generating a massive number of redirects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 18:57, [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] took notice and posted a [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:Mickey_McGizzle&amp;amp;diff=prev&amp;amp;oldid=62022 comment] to McGizzle&#039;s user page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 19:00, Kkimball restored the contents of [[Battlestar Wiki:Cast and Crew]] (at that time located at &amp;quot;Cwap&amp;quot;). At 19:04, he restored the contents of [[Battlestar Wiki:Human Census Survey]], which had not been moved. At 19:24, he restored the contents of [[The Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game]], (at that time located at &amp;quot;The Land of Seventeen Guatemalens&amp;quot;) and attempted to return it to its original namespace by moving it to &amp;quot;A Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after Kkimball&#039;s edits, McGizzle renewed his attack on the Drinking Game, and retaliated with an attack on Kkimball&#039;s user page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 20:40, 28 June 2006, [[User:Shane|Shane]], currently banned from editing on an informal basis, posted a notice to [[Battlestar Wiki:Official Communiques]], due to an error on [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard]], which he corrected at 20:41. At 20:42, I reverted his comments to Official Communiques, and at 22:19, I moved his comment to the Administrators&#039; noticeboard. It is my opinion that due to the extraordinary circumstances at work, Shane&#039;s actions were not in violation of the terms of his ban as set forth in [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after his post to Official Communiques, Shane notified me of the attack via GMail. On 20:42, 28 June 2006, I banned Mickey McGizzle with an expiry time of infinite, and set to work on repairs. By 21:34, all the attacked articles had been restored and moved back to their original locations. By 22:04, all spurious redirects had been deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this time, [[User:The Merovingian]] attempted to help by tagging several redirects for deletion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Analysis===&lt;br /&gt;
====Damage====&lt;br /&gt;
*Mickey McGizzle was able to actively vandalize Battlestar Wiki for exactly two hours.&lt;br /&gt;
*He attacked a total of fourteen articles:&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Galactica Discovers Earth (Book)]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Sparto Relamia]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Galactica (RDM)]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Human Census Survey]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Cast and Crew]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[The Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Galactica]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[User:Kkimball]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:News]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Project List]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Battlestar Wiki:Site support]]&lt;br /&gt;
*He generated over 200 redirects.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Wiki remained vandalized for 52 minutes after Mickey McGizzle was banned. Deletion of all redirects took 1 hour and 22 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Response Time====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]] first noticed the attack 15 minutes after it commenced, but he failed or was unable to report it to an Administrator.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]]&#039;s attempts to combat McGizzle&#039;s vandalism on his own were ineffectual.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[User:Shane|Shane]] noticed the attack 1 hour and 58 minutes after it commenced, and notified me. If he had not done so, the damage would undoubtedly have been much worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Threat Assessment====&lt;br /&gt;
McGizzle&#039;s personal response to Kkimball ([http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User%3AKkimball&amp;amp;diff=62108&amp;amp;oldid=33060 replying] to a [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:Mickey_McGizzle&amp;amp;diff=prev&amp;amp;oldid=62022 comment] on his user page, and subsequently moving Kkimball&#039;s user page to &amp;quot;Fatass&amp;quot;) clearly indicates that he is not a bot, of the variety we&#039;ve occasionally seen depositing link span. That a human being was able to cause so much damage raises serious concerns over automated agents using the same techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McGizzle&#039;s vandalism method is extremely time consuming to revert. Vandalized articles must be identified from a large number of move log entries, then followed to their final destination, reverted, and returned to their original locations. This took an average of 3 minutes and 42 seconds per article. Following this, an enormous number of redirects must be deleted. This is tedious and inconveniently floods [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], but the presence of redirects does not directly harm the usability of the wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Recommendations===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I recommend that the ability to move pages be restricted to administrators, and, if possible, other trusted users. I understand that current versions of MediaWiki allow a distinction to be made between newly registered users and old hands; if it would be possible to implement such a thing here, that would be ideal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Straightforward vandalism would still be possible, but it is much easier to revert than the redirect technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that it took two hours for an administrator to be notified of the attack is extremely disturbing. Hopefully Mercifull&#039;s election as an Admin will enable more round-the-clock surveillance, but Kkimball&#039;s attempt to revert McGizzle&#039;s edits personally, rather than contact an Admin is disappointing. Presumably, it simply didn&#039;t occur to him. Perhaps contact information for admins should be consolidated in another location besides user pages, to which a link could be included in the welcome greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Star of Kobol|Stars of Kobol]] should be awarded to [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]], [[User:Shane|Shane]] and [[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] for their valiant efforts to stop McGizzle&#039;s rampage.&lt;br /&gt;

:Its a shame this has happened, at a time when some people were contemplating opening the wiki to guests I feel that we cannot ever do this now. For every minute this mailicious user was here he caused 3 minutes of time to fix. I have a few suggestions however i am unsure if they can be implemented:&lt;br /&gt;
#Make it so only administrators can move/rename a page. While this wouldnt stop someone manually making a new page and then adding a redirect to the old one it would certainly slow them down.&lt;br /&gt;
#Edit limit for new users. I&#039;m not sure if this can be done with MediaWiki but is it possible to limit the number of edits per hour/day for new users?&lt;br /&gt;
#Limit on the number of &amp;quot;New&amp;quot; pages that newly signed up users can make.&lt;br /&gt;
#Wikipedia runs some bots that look for these kinds of mass changes by users and reverts them and blocks the user. Is that kind of thing possible here?&lt;br /&gt;
#Make it so pages cannot be blanked... minimum number of characters for example.&lt;br /&gt;
:Just a few ideas. I think its something that needs to be discussed in detail fairly soon. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:14, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I also think that with users such as this blocking just isnt enough. These kinds of people need to be [http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess5.shtml completely banned] from the site using .htaccess --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:27, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::The timing of this is extremely unfortunate. The type of vandalism involved is something we have never see here at this wiki. Previously all vandalism has been either a direct personal attack (user pages, etc.) or more commercial in nature (editing pages to include invisible spam links). This is the first time that I am aware of that an individual has committed vandalism solely for what appears to be their own amusement. While the thought of this type of attack had been considered (it wasn&#039;t &amp;quot;inconceivable&amp;quot;), I imagine we all thought it unlikely as no such attack had occured for so long (even when we had less restrictive login requirements).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::In the &amp;quot;Recent Changes&amp;quot; banner, there is text that states that &amp;quot;If you find any vandalism or edits that need to be brought to the attention of an admin, report it here.&amp;quot; (With a link to the admin noticeboard.) Unfortunately that might not be read/paid attention to much. Also, while the noticeboard IS on my watchlist, it won&#039;t generate an email notice like a note on a user page would. I definitely concur that some research should go towards improving accessibility to Admins and educating editors about who should be contacted in the case of an emergency (like this one).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I agree that an attack of this magnitude merits an evaluation of our security protocols. (Would such a discussion be best suited here? The Quorum?) I would like to urge that we not be too hasty in locking things down, though, and should perhaps let the sting of this attack subside somewhat before any security decisions are finalized. If we allow this incident to harm the daily experience of our average editors, then this &amp;quot;terrorist&amp;quot; will have had more impact on this world than they deserve to have made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Lastly, I second the call for a commendation of [[User:Kkimball|Kkimball]], [[User:Shane|Shane]] and [[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]]. Dedicated editors like them are what keep this place running. I concur that this incident should have no bearing on Shane&#039;s RFC-imposed &amp;quot;vacation&amp;quot;. While he is obviously still checking up on the place, he prevented a great deal more work through his timely contacting of an administrator. I would also like to thank [[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] for his diligence in dispatching and cleaning up after the vandal. It might be a good idea to work out a protocol for distributing vandal cleanup work amongst administrators, in the event more than one is active or in the event of a larger attack. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:13, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Thanks for your kind words, guys, though I&#039;d like to apologize. Though my immediate thought was to contact an admin, the user page didn&#039;t occur to me as I haven&#039;t used the mediawiki software in a peroid of several months previous to my return last night. I&#039;m afraid my attempts to restore the content were somewhat feeble, but I&#039;m glad this could all be fixed relatively simply (if not quickly).

::I would agree to an open discussion on the issue of &amp;quot;wiki security&amp;quot;, for lack of a better term. It would probably be best to discuss it on the Quorum so that all users can put in their two cubits. I know we&#039;ve just recently brought up on [[Talk:Main Page]] about how we can lessen our editing restrictions, so I would really like that discussion to coincide with the &amp;quot;wiki security&amp;quot; one because, at the end of the day, they are both the same.

:::(Damn if wasn&#039;t able to be on at the time to help; I finally have some success in getting a new job, which took most of yesterday.) I concur with the &amp;quot;trusted users&amp;quot; limiting. I think that no user with less than 100 edits can move articles. Gives plenty of time for newbies to get used to things without messing up badly, and keeps what happened from happening again in such severity. New users with less than 100 edits could be limited to 5 edits per hour; after 50 edits, 10 edits/hr, and no limit (and privileges to move articles) after 100 edits. That might also help against any bots used to attempt to circumvent the process. Kudos to the three who tried to fix the damage!--[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:57, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

I agree that Shane should not be punished, special circumstances.  I&#039;m sorry I didn&#039;t notice earlier, but I have to sleep sometime :) Ironically, before logging out the last thing I saw was that a new user named McGizzle had joined, and was annoyed that I logged out without giving him the big hello.  Yikes.  Well, ----&amp;gt;This event has caused me to change my position on allowing unregistered users.  There are those that hate TNS enough that they would smash BSWiki to atoms if they could.

== Shane&#039;s RFC and the Think Tank ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane|The RFC]] on Shane has been officially closed. As I noted on Shane&#039;s talk page, his vacation begins on Friday, June 30th at 12:01 A.M. UTC and will officially end on July 7 at 12:01 A.M. UTC. As decided in the RFC, he&#039;s not officially blocked, unless he makes any edits during his vacation from the wiki. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should &#039;&#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039;&#039; happen, I will officially do the blocking. I request that no other administrator do this action. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that Shane is on his vacation, the question of who will be willing to keep an eye on his contributions needs to be addressed. Peter is exempt from this due to the friction between them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, as mentioned in the RFC, I will be creating the [[Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank|Think Tank]]. I would welcome everyone to help build this while Shane is on vacation. This is where all the major stuff will happen, and that &amp;quot;major stuff&amp;quot; is to be determined by the consensus of the administrators, per Day&#039;s points. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, if there are any questions, please ask away. Thank you. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:49, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Also, in August, I&#039;ll be moving (yay!), which means I will have various things to prepare before then. Anyway, I guess what I&#039;m saying is, if you need me, I&#039;ll do my best, but I&#039;m making no promises. *wink* Maybe someone else will step up like Spence and make the full time commitment. --[[User:Day|Day]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators&#039; noticeboard|Admin]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:44, 29 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Problem with mail validation==&lt;br /&gt;
In my preferences in the &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; section it say that &amp;quot;Your e-mail address is not yet authenticated. No e-mail will be sent for any of the following features.&amp;quot; with a link to [[Special:Confirmemail|Confirm your e-mail address]]. When I click this I push a button to mail out a validation code but I never recieve one. I have tried several times and checked my spam box but still nothing. Because my email is not validated I cannot set it up to send me notices on changed etc. Does anyone know how to fix this? My email is correct in the &#039;&#039;&#039;user profile&#039;&#039;&#039; box. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 06:04, 30 June 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The problem is in the emailserver. I administere several mailserver in various locations. And I&#039;ve seen what is wrong. The emailserver that battlestarwiki.org (BSW) use to send us emails are not configured properly. BSW&#039;s &amp;quot;HELO&amp;quot; says it is a mailserver who&#039;s hostname does not exist. The hostname reported in BSW&#039;s HELO &#039;&#039;&#039;vps.battlestarwiki.org&#039;&#039;&#039; does not exist. Therefore all emails from BSW&#039;s outgoing emailserver will automatically be rejected by our mailservers as SPAM.&lt;br /&gt;

==VandalBot Feature==&lt;br /&gt;
I was scanning administrator help pages on Wikipedia when I stumbled onto [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vandalbot the Vandalbot feature in MediaWiki].

There is a new preference in which I just noticed also called &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;List redirects&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; which is neat cause then we can find stuff to fix redirects. :) --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 02:21, 31 July 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::In the preferences you can set what namespaces you can search on by default. Its really useful --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:40, 31 July 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::As soon as I posted this it started working again. Ok, who is messing with me ;-). Honestly, for it didn&#039;t work for some time, while I was working on quotes yesterday. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 07:42, 31 July 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::It&#039;s alright we believe you *pats on head* lol --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 07:49, 31 July 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== How do you sign up to be a mirror? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey all, I&#039;m the webmaster of bsgtns.com and one of the owners of MediaBlvd.  We think this is a pretty cool thing that you have here, and would like to offer up some server space for a mirror.  MB has 6 high end servers, and good deals on bandwidth.  I might be missing how to go about that, as I&#039;m fairly new to this space.  I did want to say that I really like the concept though, and I spent several hours going thru the Wiki yesterday, and liked what I saw enough to want to be involved-- NetRanger&lt;br /&gt;
:[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|talk to joe]]. I think usually the mirror deals with running the software of mediawiki and one site having access to the other and vice-versa. Joe is currently sick. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 19:12, 31 July 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:[[BW:MIR]] is the basic requirements. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 19:18, 31 July 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::AFAIK basicly a Mirror has the exact same content except when you go to edit, it takes you to the real BSWiki site? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 04:24, 1 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Yep. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:41, 1 August 2006 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
