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.

Username policy template update

After a minor issue involving one user's page, I've revised the {{username}} policy template so that it serves two roles. If admins encounter a username that's inappropriate:

1. Add {{username}} to the top of the user's home account page.
2. Unless the remaining content of the user's page is in violation of other policies, do NOT make any further changes to the user's home page.
3. Add a new topic to the user's talk page explaining the issue and give them an appropriate time to request a change per the username policy, or note the account is banned if a significant violation.

The new template works for either scenario without having to add any other items to a user page. --Spencerian 11:55, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

BS Wiki pimped at SyFyPortal

Not sure if this is the right place to put it, but we got mentioned and linked to in an article over there, about the apparent appearance of the Demetrius in Season 4. Also contains an interesting spoiler about the Centurions, btw. --Serenity 12:39, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

Actually, Michael Hinman (operator of SyFy Portal) e-mailed me just yesterday to let me know. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 13:18, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

User:Sssjhnmh is up to no good

Sssjhnmh recently edited the page Angela. He left hundreds of the same links to an very inappropriate url. He should be banned. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Veepz (talk • contribs).

Nevermind, Catrope took care of it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Veepz (talk • contribs).

Done. Thanks for the heads-up! :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:11, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, sorry I forgot about the sig, guess I was in a rush. Veepz 15:14, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

No worries. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:15, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

I think we're lucky that we get so few people like this. --BklynBruzer 16:14, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Indeed. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 16:21, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

It's interesting to note it got through the CAPTCA tho. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 17:45, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
