About the new wiki.....
About that, where in the world are the badges?!?! I try and keep finding them!

Seddie1196 01:48, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

This wiki! Yes!
The NEW wiki, yes. Like it said http://icarly.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:SeddieBerserker/Wikia%27s_New_Look.

New AGE Community Policy
http://icarly.wikia.com/wiki/ICarly_Wiki_Community_Policy

'Inappropriate:'

20. You have to be 13 years old to have an account on Wikia. If we find out that you're younger, you'll be blocked.

Does this new policy *not* grandfather-in the ones who are already on this wiki, are responsible, and don't ship-war? Is this something you decided because of people such as @Bunnyboo50 and a couple of others? 13 seems arbitrarily high for so many people here who aren't officially teens. As you mentioned, it is for *NEW* members who create a NEW account, so it shouldn't apply to those already on. You going to block them for the number of years until they are 13? Age doesn't always imply maturness or willingness to frequently ship-war. Was this solely your idea? If so, why weren't the other admins (ex., me and Mak) consulted for our opinions as you usually do for other things? If not, is this from the entire Wiki-wide people ordering you to make this change?

I also made this comment on the Creddie page where I first saw it surprisingly without any prior discussion with other admins. on this age change that I believe is at least 1 year too high. Katydidit 05:15, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Block rules
I was wondering if we should have consistent rules for how long people get blocked, because at the moment, it depends kind of on the whim of the admins. For example, for removing content from SEVERAL pages, I blocked Ilovecreddie for 3 months (for only one page, I would have started with 1 month), and Katy expanded it to six. I think it would be good to have a rule about that so we know how long to block for what. Mak23686 22:48, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well, my personal rule is:

Level 1 (Rude behavior / nonsense edits): starting at 1-2 weeks, going to next level if repeated

Level 2 (Removing content from one page): 1 month, going to next level if repeated

Level 3 (Removing content from several pages / inserting rude comments): 3 months, next level if repeated

Level 4 (continuing after level 3 or extreme vandalism): 6 months, next level if repeated

Level 5 (inserting adult content): Permanent

I´m ready to change that, of course, as long as we can agree on something. Mak23686 07:46, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Are you the head person and if you are, may I be an administrator?

Seddierocks 22:57, December 6, 2010 (UTC)Seddierocks

@Seddieberserker, do you think that it shouldn't be allowed to put pictures of pairings on character pages? Seddierocks 23:29, December 6, 2010 (UTC)Seddierocks

How do you add a page to be 'followed'?
Hey, how do you add a page now (in this new skin) to be followed for tracking future changes and comments? I can't find how to do that now. Is there a way, or not? Sometimes, I wish I could wring the person(s) neck who designed this new skin making previous actions that were 'out there' harder to find and do! BTW, we've been communicating lately elsewhere.  Katydidit 07:47, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

User: Finachel
i think you should block Finachel on my user blog they wrote Glee is better and on the Creddie they wrote it too! its annoying so do you think so? or at least a warning!

Not sure what is going on? I thought this site was for everybody to participate? I rewrote the description for iPilot trying to make it clearer and it has been reverted back to the original text. Did I do something wrong? I see info being changed all the time. I'm not trying to step on anyones toes. Just wondering. Spunser 19:39, December 9, 2010 (UTC)spunser

Background
Do you know how to change the background pic of the wiki? I´d like to change the background to something christmas themed for the rest of the year (Carly and Sam in their outfits from the iChristmas webcast), and to more up-to-date pics afterwards, but I don´t know how to do it. Mak23686 19:19, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Episode Guide - unsubstantiated airdate changes reverted, LOCKED
Hi, I noticed a user made an unsubstantiated airdate to iPity, and after checking all the referenced External links for verification, none of them has an airdate for that episode or any other in the future. I temporarily LOCKED the page so only us administrator's can edit it. Does that also lock the page for users to make COMMENTS, or not? That would be perfect, if it was so, but I don't know if it is or it locks everything on the page. If it locks everything, is there a way you can change it so only the Guide itself is locked? If not, can you petition the Wiki people to look into having that option on admin's locking a page's contents but not the COMMENTS? If I am exceeding the boundaries by locking the Episode Guide page including comments (or not), go ahead and unlock it, even though other users can continue to post rumored, unreferenced airdates which us admin's have to keep monitoring and undoing/reverting; which as you know is a pain to have to keep doing. Thanks! Katydidit 20:32, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Not able to reach the 'Start Page'
I'm having this strange problem in trying to reach the Start Page, and for some strange reason, it keeps reverting to Recent Wiki Activity. Can you explain that or heard of others having that problem? Can you get to the Start Page without any problem? I haven't made any changes to my Preferences, or anything lately. If you are also having that problem, can you fix it? Does WIKI need to be informed if it is something beyond our control, if that is the case? Thanks. Katydidit 20:54, December 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don´t know how you usually got to the main page, but I simply get there by clicking on the "iCarly wiki" icon. Works perfectly. But if I enter it into my browser, it brings me to "recent activity", too (I usually go straight to http://icarly.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges, so I didn´t notice that until now).

Missing ADMINISTRATOR since Nov. 3
I was curious if you were thinking of replacing XxCreddieShipperxX, since she hasn't posted anything since Nov. 3. Seems like she has abandoned this wiki. Just wondering. Katydidit 22:18, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hello :)
I heard a lot about you before you finally came back! How did you get into iCarly? Do you have a favorite character? Favorite episode? What other shows do you like? Cartoonprincess 21:22, December 22, 2010 (UTC)Cartoonprincess :)

Admin
I have decided to accept the offer to become an admin. Can you send me a message about anyhting I need to know?

Re: Bureaucrat
You´re serious? Well, if you think I´m fit for that job, sure. Mak23686 22:46, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

Just a Few Questions...
Sorry, I'm just confused about a few things about adminship. Can you clear them up for me? I just need to know what I'm doing before I actually start doing admin things. Thanks. Lotstar 23:11, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * How do we block people? (I already have a link to the page on Warning templates, so I don't need to know that)
 * Is there fixed block laws, like how long we have to block people for certain things, or can we just make that up?
 * This may seem like a stupid question, but what are the main pages/duties admins need to focus on?

Rollback?
Hi! It looks like my user rights were changed to "rollback". What exactly does that mean? Thanks for the promotion, though. (I think it's a promotion...)

Merging relatives´ pages
TeamMu suggested to merge the pages for the main characters´ relatives together, meaning we would have a page "Shay Family", "Puckett Family" and "Benson Family" instead of many pages that barely have any information on them. Think we should? here is the blog with the suggestion. Mak23686 07:06, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Main page
We need room for the featured quote, anyway, and maybe we could put the Nick wikis template on the main page again. Mak23686 08:01, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Could you please take care of the featured media, since I don´t know how to put a video on here (and I don´t have any music videos on my computer).

Featured Media for January is "Me with you" by Jennette. I think this video would be okay.

I also removed the top contributors thing, so if you want to put up links to actors and news, you should find enough space now.

Mak23686 17:00, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

More canon
It would be cool if it could bring us a little closer to the iCarly team; I think it´s worth a shot, we will see if it works.

Question, though: What changes exactly would be needed (except for the ones you mentioned)? If you give me a list, I can start working on it on Friday (won´t be able to do so sooner, lots of work this week). Mak23686 20:54, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Won´t be able to do as much as I´d want to this weekend, my computer is broken (have to send it in to customer service). I´ll try to do as much as I can from a different computer, but I can´t promise anything, sorry. Mak23686 08:38, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Problems noticed on Dropdown lists
Hey, I just noticed a couple of problems on the revamped 4 Dropdown Lists after your last format change. The boxes 'bleed' into the background now, making some of the text invisible instead of high contrast against the skin. Also, the columns are now spread out further making a user drag the mouse further than it was before. Can you make them closer together as they used to be, and fix the 'bleed' problem as it was good before and each box showed up 'bold' (not literally) against the background, so all the text is legible again? I don't know why your changes listed I found doesn't show both formatting changes, so I don't know why those bad formatting changes happened. Can you reverse those two? Thanks. Katydidit 00:01, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Episode Guide protection change
Hi. I'm not sure you didn't make a mistake in changing the Episode Guide page's protection level so that any registered user can edit it now. We tried this before and have had nothing but trouble from users posting rumors. They have repeatedly posted unreferenced dates and other changes and rumors that I (you,and Mak) have had to revert. I don't want to have to go through that again and that is why I thought it was better the page were locked to only us administrators. I don't believe the ordinary user needs to be able to edit that page since it changes so slowly, and only because there is a new episode or details of an old episode such as the ratings or minor fixes. You're the boss, but I strongly disagree with your decision and I predict a whole bunch of reverts and changes either I, you, or Mak will have to do again to stop unreferenced dates and other errors. Our users will see them and go crazy about it, forcing us to tell them it's a mistake/rumor from another user and to ignore it. Would you allow me (or Mak) to change it back to only admin's allowed to change the page if again it gets riddled with rumors and unreferenced errors? Katydidit 14:04, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Incoming e-mails on changes to a Followed page has stopped
I don't know if you can fix this or not but my incoming e-mails telling me of changes on a Followed page has stopped for 2+ days now. I checked My Preferences, and it still says to be notified of changes on a Followed page. Do you have any idea why the e-mails have suddenly stopped and can you fix it? If not, can you contact the main Wiki people to see if they know anything about it and can fix it? Thanks! Katydidit 17:10, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Reliable Source, or not?
Hi, I've been asked whether this source can be considered reliable. Is it, or not? If not, which sources and exact links *can* we consider as reliable sources for airdates, etc.? Thanks! Katydidit 17:43, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Awww, that's a shame we can't use Toonzone.net. Especially because IMDb.com is also reporting Feb. 12 as the airdate for iHaI, but I know IMDb.com is fan-edited, but IMdb.com always asks for a source from the fans before they add a piece of information. I've done it myself numerous times. Katydidit 18:01, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Newsletter
Hi. Could I create a page where everyone could put their entries for the newsletter? :o

Admins / Pic
Well, it doesn´t really matter if they have their admin powers if they never use them, so we might as well take them away, I think.

As for the pic, I think of it as simple fan art just as other photoshopped shipping pictures.

Mak23686 04:39, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Blog
I saw your message to Mak about that Blog that is stirring up so much of a debate and fuss. I was wondering if you only intended Mak to see it and talk to you about what should be done about the Blog, but no other admins involved? [BTW, what other admins are presently active on this wiki besides us three now?] I made a couple of pithy replies myself on what others wrote. I'm agreeing with you the comments have gotten way out-of-hand, and especially that one poster that Mak had to remind to stop repeating the same message. I wouldn't care if you and/or Mak decided to delete the entire Blog as inappropriate and too 'hot' to discuss because it is such an emotional point, if you wanted my opinion. If you only cut-off the commenting, it would still leave the Blog and the comments already made intact. It wouldn't look good to leave the comments frozen-in-place because they are just as much of a problem to display (if not more so) than the Blog itself. Just my opinion. If you didn't intend to include me in the 'vote' or discussion with you and Mak because you two are co-Bureaucrats, and I'm 'lower on the totem pole', I apologize for my forwardness. Katydidit 14:34, February 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I´m not a big fan of cutting off the comments; I like to voice my opinion if I have one, and that´s what blogs are for, I think, so there is almost no point in a blog if you can´t comment on it. I think we either have to deal with every single person that goes to far in their homophobia seperately or we delete the blog because the topic is too sensitive.


 * Lotstar is also there, but she wrote that she doesn´t really have much time at the moment a few weeks ago.
 * Quote: "Hi, I'm going overseas tomorrow, so I might not be on the wiki very much. I'll try my best to be on as much as I can, but I thought I better warn you. Lotstar 04:24, January 4, 2011 (UTC)"
 * Mak23686 18:18, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * It crosses the line when other users are attacked personally. --  SeddieBerserker   (talk)  10:03, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Question still remains: are we gonna take care of everyone seperately or do we just delete the blog? Mak23686 10:28, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not in favor of deleting the blog, at least not yet. There is a situation where people are highly uncomfortable with same sex pairings, especially on a "kid's" show. We'll have this problem with every Cam focused blog. We just need to decide where to draw the line, and deal with the offenders separately. --  SeddieBerserker   (talk)  10:50, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Some Stuff to Say
I have a few things to say:

1) I looked on the homepage and it seems somebody edited under the section to see iCarly in other countries. I'm not sure who edited it, but it's not appropriate for the homepage and belongs on their user page.

2) I also wanted to know how you write the previous/next episodes in the template box for episodes. Trust me, I swear I won't change it. I wanted to know how to do that for another wiki that I'm an admin on. I thought it would look better putting that in.

Okay. Thank you. And I'm sorry I forgot to sign my name. I thought I did. And I hope you fix the home page soon. It's messing up the blogs, too. SunriseDaisy 22:25, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw that stuff under the live stream link, too, but when I edit the page, it doesn´t appear in the source text. Is this some kind of bug we need staff help with? Mak23686 09:06, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Your newest blog
Hello,

No offense to you, SeddieBerserker but we are all used to using caps for excitement and showing anger and I think we should be allowed to. None of use are used to using bold and it's hard for lots of us to figure out how to do it when posting comments. Could you please consider letting us all use caps again?

Thank you,

Massive, multiple vandalism by one person
Something needs to be done on this wiki to prevent massive, multiple instances of vandalism and comments as Shawndizzle did in a very short time. I blocked him, so he can't do any further damage, but what he did in just a couple of hours is incredible. He must have had some type of robo-program to post way over 2,000 comments on Jennette McCurdy's page plus other pages; 'move' pages to obscene names, and other assorted damage. Can you discuss this with the wiki people to see if they can automatically put in a block for anyone who posts over 20 comments/changes in less than 10 min., or some short time frame as this clown [*] did? There's no way we can go through all those reams of pages to revert the comments on Jennette's page or undo them. I've gone through all the main Characters, Episodes, Cast, and Community (menu at the top, drop-down listings) to never let a 'move' done again on those pages except by Admins, and all changes only by registered users, but the registered user-edit block isn't worth much of a deterrent.

Thank you. Katydidit 11:41, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

[*] http://icarly.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=20110409091639&limit=250&user=Shawndizzle&month=&year=

I forgot to ask you if there can be a way to revert (aka, rollback) *all* the obscene/inappropriate comments made by one person with just one click as we can do in editing a page with multiple vandalisms by one person? As of now, we can only remove only one comment clicking on the 'delete' option. Thanks! Katydidit 11:52, April 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I gotta try something, gotta undo your revertion of that clown's edits for that, though; just so you know what's going on. Mak23686 12:14, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I contacted the wikia staff and asked them if there is a way to revert all edits a user made at once. Mak23686 12:29, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Update on Shawndizzle from a wikia staff member:
 * "There is a tool to mass delete, but it's just JS coding that a few of us use and not anything specifically built into Wikia. I have no idea if using it will just delete his comments, all comments, or the article. The Spam Task Force would be the best people to talk to."
 * We weren't the only ones he attacked, he was busy on the Glee wiki, too.
 * Mak23686 16:33, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment!

Does it look like the Creddiers have calmed down now?
Hello. :)

This is not a complaint ... Well, not so much of a complaint, really, more of a question. I'm trying to get some perspective here.

A lot of people on the Seddie page seem really, really angry at the Creddiers. Earlier today, I saw several pages of comments saying a lot of really harsh things about how rude and immature they're being, how they're trying to take away the Seddiers' happiness, how they don't deserve any sympathy, and so forth. They even threw out some barbs at one of their own (a Seddier who, in my opinion, is actually one of the most mature people on this website, who has done a lot to help maintain goodwill between the shipping communities), accusing her of "sucking up" to the Creddiers. It was rather harsh, I felt.

(I didn't see any comments from the person in question. Perhaps she wasn't there, perhaps she never saw them. Or perhaps she was just too hurt, or even scared, to respond. I don't know.)

It was a little frightening, actually.

The thing is, it actually looks to me like the Creddiers have calmed down now. When I looked through the comments for the past day or so on the Creddie and iOMG pages, I didn't see anything particularly negative. For the most part, it just looked like the usual routine chatter. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, or in the right places, but that's how it appears to me. Does it look that way to you?

Some Creddiers have been posing alternate theories about iOMG, speculating that Sam may not really be in love with Freddie, that sort of thing. I've seen some Seddiers take exception to this, saying that it's rude and selfish to try to take away the Seddiers' happiness. But, honestly, I don't see anything unusual about what the Creddiers are doing. It's just the typical speculation, including some far-fetched theorizing, that people on this Wiki have always done. I don't really think the Creddiers are trying to hurt the Seddiers, just keep their own hopes up.

It reminds me of the way that, in the days leading up to iOMG, some folks seemed to get really angry and offended whenever anybody suggested, or actually hoped, that Seddie might not happen in that episode.

Honestly, it looked to me like the Seddiers were just fueling each other's rage today. One Seddier complains about the Creddiers, another joins in and says "IKR," and they drive each other into a frenzy. The Creddiers aren't really doing anything. Maybe Creddie shippers elsewhere, not on this Wiki, are still going on about iOMG, but I don't see how that has anything to do with the people here.

That's just my take on it. If you and the other administrators feel that the Creddiers really are causing the trouble themselves, I will, of course, defer to your judgment. Like I said, I may just not be looking hard enough, or in the right places.

But if you also feel that the Creddiers have calmed down now, I was kind of hoping it would help heal the rift if somebody in a position of authority were to point out that fact to the Seddiers, and that maybe we should all stop firing verbal shots at each other now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Is someone deleting content?
an user named SeddieShipper29 is deleting content in the Creddie page again 

just wanted to know

Mazznick 22:56, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Kidding...
@SeddieBerserker There's a big misunderstanding. I wasn't being rude to the Creddieshippers on purpose. Didn't you see @Lotstar's comment? We're having a prank contest by Bunnyboo50's blog. So we really don't mean. I even have proof that's on the Seddie page. This is TomboyDaisy by the way.

@SeddieBerserker, I've asked @Bunnyboo50 (the organiser of the prank contest), to add a rule about no joking about ship warring. Hopefully she'll add it and we won't have to worry about ship warring, whether prank or real. Lotstar 02:35, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

New block rule?
Because of the Sockstar problem, Cameddie suggested that admins shouldn't block for ship warring against their own ship; because that would slow down the blocking process too much, I thought about a different rule:

A block for ship warring lasts for one week, and if it isn't confirmed by two other admins within that week, it expires; the third admin who confirms it can set the block time to 3 or 6 months (depending on the case).

That way, we would make sure that there is always at least one unbiased opinion on the block (because we haven't more than two admins for one ship).

What do you think? Mak23686 07:25, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

What do you think of this idea?
While it may cause possibly a mess in the wiki, it could be pretty fun. No idea, but I was wondering about how you felt about users roleplaying as iCarly characters. Do you think it's too much, or it may be a fun idea? Your thoughts? Roxas82 01:52, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Check Block
Please check the block of this user: http://icarly.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:CaptainUnderpantz

Unfair Treatment to Creddiers
The admin, Katydidit, deleted the conversation I was having with @Xxcreddier4presidentxx just because it had nothing to do with iCarly or Creddie (it was about Harry Potter). I don't think it's fair at all.

So Creddiers aren't allowed to socialize with each other but Seddiers are? The Seddiers are often off topic and no one deletes their stuff. Maybe that's why they have more fun with eachother, and there are less Creddiers here. Cause they aren't allowed to talk to each other unless it's about Creddie.

If this is a rule, I hope it's one that all the admins agreed on. I personally think it's pretty silly. Sure this is the iCarly wiki and we should talk about iCarly. But can't we talk about our lives and be friends too? I don't find this is fair at all that we are being treated like this. Creddiers want to be allowed to talk about other stuff too!!!
