The Wikia Noticeboard
This is a place where issues that only a Wikia Staff member can sort out. These issues will usually pertain to coding problems, relating to our PvXCode, or even the wiki's numerous extensions and special pages.
Please remember that PvXWiki has it's own Admin Noticeboard, and if an issue can be solved by an admin, post the issue there and not here.
To post an issues, please add it to the bottom of the section which the issue belongs, give the issue a suitable heading (Using a level 3 heading (3 ='s either side of the heading) E.G. ===Special:RecentRatings=== if there's a problem with the Recent Ratings page). Underneath the heading, give a brief discription of what's wrong, and sign and date your issue with 4 ~'s.
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.
User Rights issues
This section is for issues related to user rights that Bureaucrats cannot modify. Archived issues for this section can be found here.
Life Guardian
Hey Wikia, i've been an admin here at PvXwiki for a while and still do not have CheckUser. Could you possibly add me to the checkuser usergroup? Thanks. Life Guardian 09:56, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- It's been about two weeks and i havent heard anything. Any chance i could get this done? Thanks. Life Guardian 07:26, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Try bugging Fuzzy or Angela directly on their talk pages. No one ever checks this. Misery 07:56, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
- When you banned me, I saw you post this, and thought that you must haven't read the Help:CheckUser. Juze

- Honestly, have you had yourself tested? Misery knows what checkuser is dipshit. Wikia has been really stingy about handing out checkuser rights, we have to get a wikia admin to grant them in each individual case. We've known this for about a year now. Didn't need your helpful little tidbit. Good lord.--TahiriVeila 08:38, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- Link/Source/Proof? And you could be more nicer. Juze 08:40, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- You could be less of an annoying twat. There's no need for link/source. There has never been anything posted about it on the wiki, because if you needed to know angela would have told you. You're not an admin. You're not a friend of an admin. You need to shut the fuck up and get your nose out of business that doesn't even begin to concern you.--TahiriVeila 08:42, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- K, take this discussion away from the noticeboard. Juze stop..being an annoying twat. Jake stop being provoked. -- Big McStrongfist 08:43, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- Also in the case of Checkuser, it is a very important tool of PvX admins to counter sockpuppets, vote stacking, and things of that nature. It also helps combat banned users coming back as vandals. And Wikia is stingy with the Checkuser rights. And I would know, I have them. So stop being an annoying twat (lol) and find something better to do. -- Big McStrongfist 08:45, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

General Coding issues
These issues are generally related to the Mediawiki software, and any extensions that are installed (please note hat PvXCode has it's own section below). See here for archived issues.
Rating Page Lock
We need a way to lock rating pages from additions and removals(Like a page protection). Also useful for archived builds, to keep the rating page unchanged. ~~ Frvwfr2 talk contribs admin 16:53, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
- I agree, but also for deleted builds. — Balistic 22:03, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a lot late, but given how deleted ratings work that is impossible. ··· Danny So Cute 19:26, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- given that all deleted/none-existent build ratings are one one page, it's not that huge an issue >.>. But in regards to the original suggestion, yes a rating page lock would be nice, when I get chance I'll give Wikia and e-mail. ~ PheNaxKian talk 19:51, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
Recent Ratins
Would it be possible to add a talk page link and rate page link to the recent ratings page? Useful for those of us who patrol it and want to see the new vote instantly.----

SSL/SOCKS and Ratings
Right now, users surfing the web via UltraSurf, and quite possibly other secure proxy networks, cannot view Ratings pages. When a Ratings page is served to a user behind UltraSurf, an error is thrown.
Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.
Now, were this an isolated case, I wouldn't bring it up. It's along the same lines as browser compatability in a lot of aspects. However, Wikia, like many other information sites, is blocked by the Great Firewall of China, therefore automatically excluding any users from that region from participating in vetting or even viewing the ratings. Seeing as most, if not all, other pages are served correctly, this must have to do with an exception in how the ratings page is served.

PvXcode issues
Coding issues related to PvXcode. See also PvXwiki talk:PvXcode. See here for archived PvXCode issues.
Health Sacrifice Costs
These do not show up at all in the mouseovers of skills. ToraenTheJanitor
14:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Some examples:
<pvxbig>
[Dark Pact][Offering of Blood][Barbed Signet]
</pvxbig>
Primary Attributes
Spawning Power's effect on weapon spell duration was increased from +2% per rank to +4% per rank. Fast Casting has had a significant rework, and is split between PvP and PvE.
Leadership shows a modification to the cost of shouts, but should probably instead show an additional effect in the skill description along the lines of Divine Favor.
It was suggested a while ago that the attributes should have mouseover descriptions as well. ToraenTheJanitor 14:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
<pvxbig>
[build prof=P/any leadership=12+1+1 command=12+1]["Stand Your Ground!"]["Go For the Eyes!"][/build]
[build prof=Mo/any divinefavor=12+1 healing=12+1+1][Word of Healing][Spotless Soul][/build]
</pvxbig>
Incorrect Pictures
Most notably, Lightbringer Signet and Whirlwind Attack use incorrect icons. There are some others as well, like Pain (PvP). ToraenTheJanitor 14:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
<pvxbig>
[Lightbringer Signet][Whirlwind Attack][Pain (PvP)]
</pvxbig>
(PvP) Skills and Template Codes
When (PvP) skills are added to a build template, they generate an invalid code. There has been much discussion on possible solutions here and other places. ToraenTheJanitor 14:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
