Bot flagging
I need everyone to gather around this blog post for discussion.
Since the use of AWB has become commonplace for me, would the wiki approve of a new bot, and the removal of ? Several users who are no longer staff members have access to the attached email and account. If PokemonFanonBot is scrapped, all rights of the account will be removed, and a will take its place. If the majority of the wiki approves, this new bot will be given an actual bot flag and the bot password will only be given to staff members and HOF members who request it. The email will only be accessible by the bureaucrats and admins. I am writing the guidelines for bot usage here at this page. Suggestions can be made on that page's talk page.

New Forums
There's a new version of forums in Labs, does the wiki want me to turn it on?
Wikia's Blog Post
New admins
Ok. There are 115 active users, and 6 admins. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Wrong. Only 2 of those admins edit every day, and the other 4 either have time issues, lose interest, or are taking breaks.
That means that there are 57 users for each active admin to monitor. Waaay too many...
So I'm looking for qualified users wishing for adminship. Leave a comment below if you wish for adminship, but I'll only nominate you if you meet the requirements.
If you do not meet the requirements listed below, don't comment. Your comment will be deleted. If you just want to talk about it, use my talk page instead.
Requirements:
- Good, supported activity. We need people who come on every day.
- Responsibility. I don't want anyone who has been blocked before here, …
PokéFanon will be getting a background
will be making a background picture for our wiki. If you would like one of your characters to be in it, please comment.
Sorry, but bad news
I'm sorry if I ruin your Thanksgiving, but I have some bad news.
Why doesn't RY ever get on at the same time as VS? Why do RY and VS have the same opinions. Well, apparently, VS is RY's sockpuppet.
Read the below messages, which were addressed to Wikia staff.
Can you check their IP addresses so we can be sure that they're not the same? - Me
Grunny, 02:17 pm (UTC): Hi,
Thanks for contacting Wikia. Unfortunately as RedYoshi's last edit was in July there is no checkuser data for him. Checkuser data only goes back a couple of months, so it is impossible to check if they used the same IPs.
Feel free to let us know if you need anything else.
Cheers, Grunny

Attention, contributors and fantentrollers alike
For contributors: This is you warning to stop arguing. Keep contributing, users. Don't let the users from Fantendo ruffle your feathers, rattle your bones or whatever. It doesn't matter what you call it, just don't take them seriously.
To Fantento protesters/trolls: This is not your wiki. If you don't like the wiki, and don't even feel like helping it, just...leave. If you want to help, please post ideas in the Improvement Contest so they can be tossed around. If there is some agreement, I'll open up a voting forum so we can vote on the changes.
Have a good time,

Oncoming Change
Please check out this wikia staff blog post, it details a very big change to wikia that may be (and probably is) worse than the forced use of Oasis. They're taking away your talk pages and replacing them with comments, like article comments.
Improvement contest!
Let's dream up some good ideas to improve the wiki! Our main focus is the main page and the color scheme, but any ideas are taken into consideration.
Category Abuse
Putting a page in an official category. Putting your own fanfictions in Undeletable Pages, Protected Pages , "Special Pages" and putting innocent users in Users that should be blocked count as 2 strikes each. Category abuse and other offenses have separate strike systems. A user that accumulates 4 category strikes count as one offense strike.
Block time: One month
And lookie here.
There are around 300 pages that don't belong right there.
I suggest you remove your articles that don't belong from there before I track you down and preform a mass block.
Featured User
No one has been voting for Featured User lately. Should there be one user chosen by the admins, but voted on by users? Should it stay as is? What method should be used?
