This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.

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

Request For Article Deletion

Hello, I hope this is the correct page to ask for such things. I have done a lot of editing on the BSG: Deadlock articles and I have taken note that there was a duplicate article created (possibly my mistake) Please can I request that this (assault raptor) article be deleted? The duplicate for this article is here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fisher 2000 (talk • contribs).

No worries! The duplicate has been deleted. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 03:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

lost access to my old account

hello! this is User:DrWho42 from a new account. my old account used an old university email which i no longer have access to. if possible, i would like to regain access in preparation for the new series (love sam esmail and mr. robot!).-DoctorWho42 (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2020 (PST)

Send me an email at webmaster@battlestarwiki.org with your new email address. I should be able to update your account and send you a password reset link. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 18:40, 5 January 2020 (PST)

Improperly Archived Talk Pages

I'm seeing a lot of archived pages in the Talk namespace with "/Archive 1" appended to their names, where the corresponding unprefixed Talk page does not exist. It looks like someone mass-archived talk pages and neglected to create new talk pages or an archive index. I suggest that we move these pages back to their unprefixed titles, with a bot or mass edit tool if possible. --April Arcus (talk) 19:59, 12 April 2020 (PDT)

This was caused by the initial deployment of the StructuredDiscussions extension. It should've provided a link the "archive" from the main "talk" page, but it didn't deploy that. I'm seeing about a means to rectify that. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 14:17, 13 April 2020 (PDT)

-I think this was already brought up some time ago, but [[Special:Editcount]] is completely broken. First, the colors are messed up, so you have to highlight the thing to see anything. Seems to be white text on a white background. Second, the maths is also wrong. I have about 6,800 edits of which about 4,700 are in (Main). And that's supposed to be 0.06%. What the frak? --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 11:25, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

- Total  	2,870  	100%
- (Main)  	1,096  	0.03%
-:The 1096 is first formatted to 1,096, ''then'' divided by 2870: (1.096/2870)*100 = 0.038. This was fixed some time ago, so an upgrade should fix it. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 11:38, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

-:::::Yep, you gotta upgrade your version of Editcount through the link I posted above. Just download each of the files in that folder. Unlike Steelviper thought, however, this was '''not''' caused by the 1.10 --> 1.11 update: the problem isn't in the MediaWiki core code, but in the Editcount extension, which hasn't been upgraded for some time. Shane, Joe, if you worry about running possibly unstable SVN code, there's a stable version of Editcount guaranteed to work with 1.11.10 [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/tags/REL1_11_0/extensions/Editcount/ here]. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 13:48, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
