PvXwiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard

There are a number of issues that can only be solved by an Administrator. The Admin noticeboard is one of the means through which users can contact Administrators in order to identify a problem that needs Administrative attention. Although editors are welcome to directly contact particular Administrators, posting on this page instead may be an easier way to let the entire Administrative group know of the issue (which may be particularly helpful since it increases the odds that at least one Administrator will see, and thus be able to respond to, the issue promptly).

There are only a limited number of things for which this page should be used. Many problems can be solved without Administrative intervention, and, thus, this page should be restricted to those issues that actually require an Administrator. Those are: blocking vandals, (un)deleting pages, (un)protecting pages, removing votes (either as per Real Vetting or because the build has been substantially edited), and mediation (only if the situation demands it).

Even in cases of vandalism, posting on this page needn't be the first step (and indeed should not be the first step). If you see vandalism, just go ahead and revert it, anyone has the power to do so. If it's a new article with no safe version to revert back to, tag it for deletion. In both cases you should leave a message in the talk page of that user to make him/her aware of why that kind of edit is unacceptable on PvXwiki. Only post here if that user persists in his/her actions, ignoring the warnings or if the content requires immediate Administrative attention (eg. if the material on the page is so offensive that should be immediately deleted).

(Be careful in case that user repeatedly insists on vandalizing, avoid a revert war; it's far better to temporarily leave the vandalized version of the page up until an admin has a chance to intervene.)

To create a new request: add an item to the bottom of the list below, providing a brief, neutral summary of the issue. As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any other involved users so they are aware of this discussion. If you are alerting an admin of a vandal, use the {{IP}} template, with the first parameter being the vandal's IP or username. If you are requesting that vote(s) be removed, please use the {{Build}} template, with the first parameter being the build's name.

Note that this is not a talk page and that the respective moderators of each section reserve the right to remove non-administrative comments without discussion.

Please place new requests at the bottom of the corresponding issues heading.

[Build: P/Me Incoming Runner]

This build no longer shows as being on the site. (A few more "running" type builds seem to be missing also.) Can this be undeleted? http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build%3AP/Me_Incoming_Runner

they're builds that have been archived (moved to the Archive namespace), but due to some of wikia's settings, they still show up in the search at their old location, there's not much we can do about that unfortunately. ~ PheNaxKian talk 13:56, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

pce X! At the end of the day, you were actually pretty cool :> --DANDY ^_^ -- 01:52, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Guide:Nicholas_the_Traveler_Farming

The archive page was deleted somehow. Is there a way to restore instead of retyping it? Also, I had to undo vandalism by TAB for the august2010 archive for the farming guide. --Jarad 15:22, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

The link just went to the wrong place. Fixed. --Toraen 22:53, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

thanks--Jarad 22:57, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Metatag on Fail Builds

I know we will be leaving this site soon but should I worry about the builds that are currently being tagged as meta to avoid votes even though they are obviously fail? If the general consensus is let the site be fubared in this manner then I won't worry about it.--Jarad 13:55, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

PvXwiki:Real Vetting states that only GvG and HA builds are exempt from vetting through the meta tag. Trash vote a build that isn't primarily an HA and/or GvG build and it will get trash tagged (this is how I choose to interpret it, other admins may disagree). Meta tags on other builds are for informational purposes only. --Toraen 06:32, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

What Toraen said, though I'd personally have the meta tag removed and replaced with a regular testing/trash tag instead, but tat this point i'm not going to argue one way or the other. ~ PheNaxKian talk 11:20, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Also, PvX:MC is now an official policy. No one other than the MCs can create GvG/HA builds straight into the meta category, so you can untag any joke GvG/HA builds as well (I don't think Lemming or Crow had a hand in any of them). --Toraen 15:41, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Build-Specific Issues

Build-Specific refers to any issue pertaining to the removal of votes, usually resolved by an Administrator. See resolved issues here.

If you wish to dispute another user's vote, it is advised to do so on the build's talk page. This section of the noticeboard is intended to notify Admins of issues that can be speedily resolved (e.g. factually incorrect votes) or issues in need of mediation. Avoid debating builds or votes here.

Note: If applicable, please identify specific votes to improve admin response time.

Build:W/E_Gale_Axe

May require a (semi-)prot. --Brandnew 14:53, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
