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)
