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.

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

General Issues

General problems, such as user conduct, vandalism, and bans. Also, suggestions can be posted here. All can be resolved by an Administrator. See resolved General Issues here.

All of User:Shem's recent contributions were made to User:Olds. Also, he blanked his userpage. ~ ĐONT*SYSOP 21:23, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

(ec) And assume good faith. All of the pages edited are limited to the User: namespace, and are not offensive outside of random NPA remarks (which resulted in a block a long time ago). Unless the user is spamming or using sockpuppetry to abuse the Build vetting system, I'm not going to waste time blocking. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 21:23, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Mebbe he was on a trip, or just likes to lie. ~.~ As Dont mentioned, they only edit the same pages, so it's safe to assume that he's using another account or just has a friend that he tells to vote 5-5-5 on all of his builds. ــмıкεнaшк 21:25, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Seriously abusing his priveleges as a build master. Removing any unfavorable votes on his Me/Mo build, which isn't very good. He's been told by the entire high-end PvP community that it's a bad build, but because he likes it, he's making sure it passes with flying colors. Snow Bunny 11:55, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

he's removed 2 votes, and the other was done by Tab, both removals by him seemed perfectly valid, even if it's not, it's hardly an "abuse of power". Look at the scores compared to the rest of the votes tbh....~PheNaxKian (T/c) 12:34, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

@ snow bunny. Its not a bad build at all. Hes just trying to show his point. Also theres other BMs to do their work so he isnt the only one.-- 12:41, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

Well, the votes are currently doing fine (I guess). I admit that he has been a little touchy on the votes there, but Dont has left him a "warning" of sorts on his Talk. Anyway, I think Tab's been the BM kinda covering the build now. Just request that another BM have responsibilities in votes on the build. --*Wah Wah Wah!* 13:11, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

There's no real need for sysop intervention here as far as I see, especially when there's already vigorous discussion on the given build's page. I doubt having an admin step in to ban/restore/remove additional votes would help in the discussion. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 13:23, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

Build-Specific Issues

Build-Specific refers to any issue pertaining to the removal of votes, usually resolved by a Build Master or 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 or Build Masters 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.

Imo it does scream that out. Enchant collapse is only troublesome if you let enchants end. As a 55, you obviously do not do that and you can therefor run the whole mission without even removing it. It's also the only reason given. Even though his vote is the highest one so far. --Sazzy 08:12, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Coding refers to any issue or bug that needs to be dealt with by a Server Administrator (Gcardinal or Hhhippo). See resolved issues here. PvXcode related issues have their own section below.

Download all builds

Can someone make a thingy for the categories that lets you download every build from that category? (For example, great HA builds. I want to download all the skill templates). I mainly want to do this with all the HA, GvG, and Hero builds. As well as PvE farming. It'd be nice to have all those builds ready ^^ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.204.149.156 (contribs) .

We had that idea long ago, but no time yet to code it. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 16:05, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

Show/Hide

Back in the resolved general coding issues, I mentioned div-frames. They were able to shown or hidden at will. Here is the extension, I think. [2] —ǥrɩɳsɧƴɖɩđđɭɘş 10:43, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Edit: it definitely is. I tested it on my personal wiki. —ǥrɩɳsɧƴɖɩđđɭɘş 16:59, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

Will have a look. I'm waiting for gc to reactivate the test server, would like to try it there first. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 13:38, 17 May 2008 (EDT)

We have collapsible tables now. Does that do the job? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 16:20, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

Recent Ratings

Shows server time, does not change based on Preferences. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   19:36, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Will look at it when test server is back up. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 13:39, 17 May 2008 (EDT)

Removal and Bans

When a BM/admin is banned, it can still remove and restore votes. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   15:04, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Thought that was true of Admins as well....?~PheNaxKian (T/c) 15:08, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Better? ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   15:09, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

If admins will be banned, it´s 95% sure their adminship will be rejected(same for BM i'd suppose). They should keep themselves to the rules, otherwise they're not a good BM/Admin. —ǘŋƐxɩsƫ 16:09, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

In addition to this, banned users can still vote. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   06:31, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

Fixed. Blocked users cannot see rating pages anymore. When the test server is up, I'll change it such that anonymous/blocked users can see, but not edit the votes. – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 13:45, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

Very nicely done. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 13:50, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

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)

Recent Changes

The RSS and Atom feeds don't work. ¬ Klumpeet 15:45, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Sort Function

This is a perfect example of this function. Not sure what we could use it for, but we could find some use... Sort builds by Effect/Univ/Inno maybe? If we ever get that function. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   20:52, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Special:UserRatings

Can we get a way to check another users ratings, rather than just our own? Helps out in case of socks that were discovered late, such as Crossfire+Woof. I would think it would be fairly easy to code. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   09:14, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

Maybe a BM/Admin restricted checkuser style thing, but with votes instead of edits? --Tab Moo 11:59, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

That would be great... But I don't see why not allow everyone to see it. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   15:07, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

I just guessed it would be easy to add as an extra option on checkuser. --Tab Moo 15:10, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

Meh, I actually think it would work kinda like Contributions atm... But you type in whoevers name. Not a part of checkuser. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   15:11, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

I actually didn't think of that <_< --Tab Moo 15:12, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

I think the original idea as so you could see everyone's, and it's beign worked, i think ti was jsut Hippo managed to get this done so he amde it available, iirc it's on his to do list (could eb wrong). ~PheNaxKian (T/c) 09:06, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

Is on the list, have to wait for test server.– HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 08:19, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Checkuser

When trying to get IPs for a user, I'm occasionally getting this error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined method IP::isipaddress() in /var/www/w/extensions/CheckUser/CheckUser_body.php on line 532. --Tab Moo 06:31, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Bet it was to check me out. EXteel 06:33, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

See Gcardinal's talk. This is in two different places on there. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 15:46, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Downloading skill templates

Would it be possible to allow users to specify a default location in preferences for skill templates to be downloaded to? It's somewhat annoying to have to go through and find c:\program files\guild wars\templates\skills every time I want to download one. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 23:52, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

You could create a shortcut to the folder on your desktop, then it's just a matter of dragging it onto the shortcut. Still, it'd be a nice feature to have. --Mafaraxas (talk • contribs) 23:57, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Where to save is up to your browser, I'm not sure if the server can override that. Maybe with an absolute path. Anyway, it means adding an entry to the preferences, which means all the old ones have to be converted to the new structure etc. which means some work and the need for a test server. I'll put it on the list but don't expect it too soon. For the moment I'd also suggest to use a shortcut. – HHHIPPO; ‹sysop› 10:49, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

How come every time I download a code and save it in my templates folder, it always says it's invalid in Guild Wars? — ク Eloc 貢 12:04, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

I think right now, any template with a '+' in the code is invalid because the + is the URL escape character for a space or something like that. You can go into the folder they're stored in and fix them manually. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 17:24, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Vertical-align for ratings

When a vote has a very long description, Overall, Effectiveness, Universality and Innovation tend to stick to the bottom instead of being in the same line as ratings. A style="vertical-align: center;" should be able to solve this. ~ ĐONT*TALK 09:48, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

The ratings are set up as a table (see my sandbox for the html used). I don't think adding a vertical-align:center would work, since the problem is that the cells are stretching, not spreading out. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 17:37, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

Indeed. I tried a few things, but it's no good. ~ ĐONT*TALK 18:16, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

Special:Statistics

It does not show the total number of pageviews or the job queue length. Dragnmn talk cont 05:35, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

We use squid, so the server never sees the page views. And I'd guess that the job queue is actually 0 :P ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 10:32, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

HTML Code

Can you not use <a href="blah blah">text</a> here? Since I can't make new sections inside the coding on my page, I'm trying to find alternatives so I can still have a toc. This is seeming to be a dead end as well. Any help is appreciated Choytw ~~ Talk+ 13:31, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

force the ToC.....use {{TOC}} iirc, then do whatever else you were wanting to do.... ~PheNaxKian (T/c) 14:26, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Don't believe question has been answered. Still looking for guidance. Choytw ~~ Talk+ 15:21, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

sorted i belive-check your talk page for details. ~PheNaxKian (T/c) 15:51, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

I was wondering about this. Since I know a decent deal of HTML coding and there's some nice sites that provide HTML web pages (easy copy-paste for a PvX page), I was wondering if there's some kind of convert from HTML to WikiCode. --File:GoD Wario Sig.JPG*Wah Wah Wah!* 16:07, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

No, you can't use <a>. However, you can use <span id="Header"></span> and then [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#Header]]. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 23:26, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

PvXcode Issues

Coding issues related to PvXcode. See also PvXwiki talk:PvXcode. Resolved issues are moved here.

Please do not leave posts about skills not being up to date, we don't change the descriptions.

Dash and Expertise

Expertise doesn't reduce the energy cost of dash. See here. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 17:48, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Expertise isn't meant to reduce energy cost of Dash (see what expertise effects; Ranger skills, attack skills, touch skills and binding rituals). /FrosTalk\ 18:01, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

That's... wow. They changed it back in October of 2006, and I never noticed XD I still thought it affected all non-spell skills :P ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 19:06, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

"For each rank of Expertise, the Energy cost of all of your attacks, Rituals, touch skills and Rangers skills are decreased by 4%." Just FYI, from GWW. --File:GoD Wario Sig.JPG*Wah Wah Wah!* 19:14, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

An admin that's two years out of date, you need an update :P /FrosTalk\ 21:18, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

The funny thing is, I probably would have noticed if my suggestion below was implemented :P ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 23:31, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

Ironic or what ;) /FrosTalk\ 23:34, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

Mouse-over Attribute descriptions

Would it be possible to have mousing over an attribute display the in-game description of that attribute? ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 17:48, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

I agree with the idea, surely it could use the same wiki code or whatever as the ratings? When you hover over Innovation it gives you a description of it, surelt it could be done for attributes? /FrosTalk\ 07:59, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

I was thinking about that. It would be nice (especially when calculating things like Expertise and Critical Strikes). --File:GoD Wario Sig.JPG*Wah Wah Wah!* 07:59, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

Hex Breaker

Build:Team - HB Blackout Spike, in the optional list it says it lasts 65s@10. However, it is actually 55 in game. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   10:26, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

A lot of skills haven't been updated on PvX since the split between PvP and PvE skills, I'm not sure what PvX is going to do to show the difference between the skills in PvP and PvE. Byakko 02:59, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

Hex breaker isn't a split pve/pvp skill, nor has its duration been changed recently. ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 03:34, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

Well this Wiki uses historic Skill Data (Back from March 2008) which was way before the Splitting and therefore a skill doesnt need to have been changed recently in order to be displayed wrong here. And thats not the only issue here 87.183.41.200 07:58, 29 June 2008 (EDT)

Ah, you're right (/doh) I also saw the note about asking about updates above so I guess is best to manually crosscheck wiki's to be sure sorry WB ^^ Byakko 19:20, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Health Sacrifice

The fact that health sacrificed doesn't show up in the skill mouseover is kind of annoying. Is there any hope that it will be added? --CJNyfalt 17:35, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

I believe that that is GWshack's task, might be wrong though. Brandnew. 17:36, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

See here. Either gwshack is not up to date or <pvxbig> is not compatible. ~ ĐONT*SYSOP 19:27, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

It's a pvxcode problem. gwshack shows sacrifice costs as part of the skill cost now. ~ Zamanee(point out my idiocy) 19:37, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Chilling Victory

Just to bring to attention, the Chilling Victory now has 2 different attribute lines based on PvE and PvP. So it might be something you guys should be able to handle or not. Huynh Sanity 00:05, 11 July 2008 (EDT)

We haven't gotten any split PvE/PvP skills working yet :( We'll figure it out (eventually) ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 00:52, 11 July 2008 (EDT)

I'm wondering if it's time to start to put some restrictions on builds being tagged for both PvE and PvP. Maybe adding a type=pve or type=pvp option to PvX code would be the solution? --CJNyfalt 01:34, 11 July 2008 (EDT)

I think the cleanest solution lies in the creation of a skill database on PvX. Last I checked, it was ~80% done; we're waiting on a new test server. *Defiant Elements* +talk 01:36, 11 July 2008 (EDT)

For the time being, can't we just use a [Chilling Victory@<insert rank in wind prayers>] for CV? File:Signature 1.jpgAce (LVPoW) 00:39, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

Yes, you can, but that only works in this case. Most other split skills didn't just have their attribute changed :( ¬ Wizårdbõÿ777(sysop) 00:39, 13 July 2008 (EDT)

Pre

If there's a space in front of text or whatever, it gets the "background" of the <pre> tag. It's kinda fucking annoying to edit it and fix it, so if anybody would mind, you know, seeing what the issue is, that would make my pants all funny. --*Wah Wah Wah!* 17:45, 13 July 2008 (EDT)
