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

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'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.

Item of interest

Did some Googlin'. Regarding Pooh the hat... he's apparently been blocked on Wikipedia for, uhm, some interesting contributions. A lot of it has to do with a fascination for grabbing male genitalia with either the hand or rubbing the area with the foot (which explains the edits to Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down and Lee Adama), disturbingly enough.

I'd say we go ahead and block the user, because I don't see him understanding how to constructively contribute here. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 12:11, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Mhh interesting. I did of course notice the spamming and vandalism and while I had the urge to get out the banhammer, I didn't want to do so at first sight. You probably saw my two-stage warning on his user page. But considering your research, we seem to have a professional troll at our hands. --Serenity 12:31, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

w:User:Liempt put it very well:

While I'm sure you are avid about what you would do someone's genitals,
you have to consider before you add content whether or not the addition contributes positively to the whole of Wikipedia's knowledge.

I say we give him one last warning: stop your vandalism or be blocked. The Template:Warn-4 treatment, in other words. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:47, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

That's fine by me. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 12:56, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

You get the honor ;) --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:58, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Nuke 'em from orbit if necessary. It's the only way to be sure. ;) --Spencerian 15:39, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

I hear that. :) --Talos 18:50, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Icon Issues

Icons are showing up in the lower left for me (all the way at the bottom). Basically all icons (TOS, FA, SOK, etc). I'm using the monobook skin. --Steelviper 21:52, 9 October 2007 (CDT)

Ah... Shane didn't update that skin with the needed CSS changes. Sssshhhhhaaaaannnneeeeee! -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 21:57, 9 October 2007 (CDT)

I blame work. :) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 00:21, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

In which browser did this happen? My TOS icons show up just fine in Firefox 2.0.0.7. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 07:54, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

Right, me too. However, I'm running the monobook skin (in part to catch stuff like that). It works fine for me with the default skin. --Steelviper 22:48, 10 October 2007 (CDT)
