Editing User talk:Root

==Category problems==
I have added Categories to some pages and its not showing up on the appropriate category's page. For example [[:Category:Dungeons_%26_Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] and [[Duergar]]. Seeing that when I look at a category page's edit page and it being almost entirely blank, I assume that once I add a category to a page, it should automatically show up on the appropriate category page.  Am I mistaken, or is this a bug?

:This is probably a result of page caching. The site is set up to cache computed html in order to reduce load and improve response times. Caches are invalidated when you edit a page, but this behaviour makes it seem likely that the associated category pages don't have their caches invalidated when their contents are changed. After a while, the cache will be refreshed and the updated list will be shown. I'll have a look at what I can do to make this behave better, but it might take a while. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 18:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

==Campaigns listing==
So, I have one of those weird ideas of mine again. See, we already provide space for campaign info pages, and charsheets and shitte, right?

Now, why don't we tell /tg/ to publish info about the campaigns they run on a specially designed page on 1d4chan, as well? I could make a template for campaign info and everything. The only problem I don't know how to work around is tracking which campaigns are active. We could ask the GMs to mark the last time they had a session, and once a campaign is not running for a month, move it to frozen; once it's frozen for two months, move it to dead. But is there a way to make those moves automatic? [[User:Fatum|Fatum]] 00:24, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

== PageCSS ==
Any chance you could install [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageCSS PageCSS], or something like that? Page-specific CSS would make some of my new attempts at [[Template:Table-attributes|automagical sections for character sheets]] much easier to set up.

I run an alternate wiki that's in part taken over being the repository for the nine million often-abandoned Exalted campaign pages and character sheets, so I decided to move the '''Overgame''' to [http://www.brilliantdisaster.net/wiki/Overgame there]. Someone is apparently dedicated to not letting this happen. If you could lock the page or something so people know where to go now, I'd appreciate it.

== [[4e]] Edit War Resolution ==

So, there's been a pretty gnarly edit war going on between me and someone else over the [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] page for several weeks now. It started when I added counter-criticisms to the criticisms section, and was instructed to instead make a "Benefits" section. I did, but ever since it's been under attack. Admittedly I've been in a very ruthless war with this guy, just for the last couple of hours I've been going back and forth with him. I decided to consult the main page for advice and was told to come here. This edit war won't resolve itself, the guy I'm up against is just pissed, and I'm definitely exceedingly stubborn myself. Think you could have a look and say something? Thanks in advance. I'll open up a discussion about it on the 4e talk page, so you can get a general idea of who stands where on it. --[[User:Zabasaz|Zabasaz]] 05:45, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

p.s buttes

Thank you for the lock; in fairness, the benefits section really should go back up. --Doom

Thanks for stepping in. I don't recommend either section, they'll just cause a shitstorm. They can make pages for criticisms/benefits and link them over, but the page is about the edition, not about what Doom and I think of it. --[[User:Zabasaz|Zabasaz]] 21:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

*Well, I suppose that works. Mind restoring the Kalashtar, Changelings, and so on to the playable race list? The addition got lost in the edit warring [http://1d4chan.org/index.php?title=Dungeons_%26_Dragons_4th_Edition&diff=60464&oldid=60463] --[[Special:Contributions/74.85.80.191|74.85.80.191]] 21:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, it's not what I and most other thing, or what Zabasaz thinks either. Although, curiously, the shitstorm only happens for Zabasaz and this mysterious sockpuppet. --Doom

:I've got no interest in adjudicating your argument and all the section is doing is causing constant edit-warring. Nobody wants constant edit-warring, and the section made the page damn ugly besides; the section never needed to be that long. Since we don't seem to be able to come a consensus on the specifics, for now that page is going to be one of generalities. Everyone involved should simply drop the issue for now; if the next time I check Recent Edits it's full of constant back and forth and reversion over some new page or pages, I'm going to start temporarily banning users.
:That's all for now. Try to keep things civil, and if you two really must continue to have a go at each other, take it somewhere else. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] 21:32, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I saw no reason to run to Mamma over something like this, you need not 'adjudicate' between me and Z and his sockpuppets. If the place can't handle it, the place can't handle it, no argument from me. Thanks for your time.--Doom

== Spammers galore ==

Getting some sort of spam/vandalism from  76.170.16.140, you need to ban that IP. It's made a few comments that are markedly familiar in tone, but I wouldn't presume to jump to conclusions. --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]]

''"This is the weirdest spam I've ever seen..."''
In case you were wondering, it's software doing a spam probe.  The robots (usually pwned workstations turned into zombies) are given a URL and told to make an "innocent" edit, to check if it's possible to make changes to the wiki.  If the probe is successful, it notifies the other zombies in the horde that this URL is a valid target for spam attempts.  The reason why you keep seeing it over and over again is because there are different zombie hordes that don't talk to each other, but the zombie horde owners all bought the same URL list. --[[User:NotBrandX|NotBrandX]] 14:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

::I don't suppose it would be possible to disable posting by new accounts for like half an hour after their creation?  I hardly understand the nature of the spam, but it seems as though the process is for the bots to create an account then post within the next fifteen minutes.  Might this screw up the procedure or help in any way?  Or ReCaptcha?  Thanks.  --[[User:FatherDuke|FatherDuke]] 04:11, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

::: Back in the summer of 2012, we had a big wave of spammers for several weeks.  Their procedure was to create an account, wait for about two days, and then start spamming.  I basically had to come in every day and clear out the new spam registrations (often a dozen or more -- so don't complain too hard about the spam levels, because it has been worse before), because I knew that if I let them stick around for too long, they would make pages.  Wikifag implemented a DNS blocklist that stopped them from editing, but we still get spambots that wait a while before spamming, or who make multiple pages spaced a few hours apart.  We also get spam from IP addresses who do not bother to register before making spam pages, or inserting spam into existing pages.

::: In summary, your suggested strategy would inconvenience legitimate users (because most people who register accounts with us want to use them immediately) while spammers would still spam anyway.  Not a bad attempt (MediaWiki does provide functionality to restrict privileges to users with a certain number of edits under their belt -- ten edits or four days is the default, I think), but not likely to be implemented.  --[[User:AssistantWikifag|AssistantWikifag]] 21:37, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

== Touhou Power Cards ==

:Oh wow. I'm not sure what's happened to the page - the article might have gotten corrupted or something - but fortunately for you all the images should still be alright, you'll just have to [[Special:ListFiles|search through the lists]] for them manually for now. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] 10:58, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

== 4E Edit War - REDUX ==

Yep, the same people going at it on the 4E page are now, again, going at it on the [[Tarrasque]] page.

Entailing the section on how to kill a Tarrasque with a fighter, someone made another section with a wizard in order to criticize the balance issues between the classes in a humorous way. His tactic involved using a shade to bypass the tarrasque's abysmal touch defenses to damage its mental stats and then suffocate it while its unconscious so it can't regenerate. 

The 4E-attacker from the [[4E]] page has assumed a couple of new IPs (all the while accusing any other editor of being a sockpuppet of [[User:Zabasaz]]) and, as revenge for the ATROCITY of insulting the 3.5e tarrasque, began vandalizing the before-mentioned section and added a new, long-winded section about how to kill a Tarrasque in 4E. Other people (SOCKPUPPETS HERRDURR) criticized the section and so it became a sort of pile-up, but that's not really the issue.

The issue is, someone who I SUSPECT is just a registered version of the 4E vandal blanked the Wizard-killing-Tarrasque section entirely, claiming it was "plagiarized." He failed to provide links but I checked google and found out there is indeed a page where someone explains how to use an allip to kill a Tarrasque. What he fails to mention is that not only are there notable differences in the tactic, but its not copy and pasted at all - the wording is entirely different and there's no way to tell it isn't just a coincidence. And if it was used as a reference, it isn't plagiarism anyways, two players are entitled to use the same tactics in an RPG, there is no ownership. If you actually care to settle a plagiarism issue, though I don't think its worth anyone's time much less yours, here are the links:

[http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dkb1/dnd/tarrasque.txt] - Page from which I think he says it was plagiarized.
[[Tarrasque]] "How to Defeat a Tarrasque in 3 Easy Levels" is the "plagiarized content." 

That said, I issued a warning that I would e-mail the admin if he continues to blank the pages or add unorthodox commentary into the sections he doesn't like, so I doubt this problem will persist, but if he is who I think he is, he is legendary for moronic persistence.

That said, thanks for your time and I love you.

TL;DR version: 4E edit war is now taking place on the Tarrasque page, but this time it's not as bad and you should probably keep your eye open or lock the page.

Please note that the previous post is from one of Zabasaz's sockpuppets (he just edited his own user page from the IP given), as the logs show.

Note also, Zabasaz has written the previous post as though he were not sockpuppeting, even as he denies his plagiarism, taking pride in it, no less.

Note also, the "long winded section is written primarily by NotBrandX, as the logs show.

In short, this person is blatantly trying to play you for a fool. [[User:Sanity|Sanity]]

:::Wikifag, you should probably also have a look at [[User_talk:Sanity | this.]] --[[User:Zabasaz|Zabasaz]] 00:21, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

:Hey Wikifag, sorry to bother you, but the guy you banned for 30 days is back, and flipping the fuck out over that Tarrasque page again. Have a look at these links and you'll get the general gist of the situation.

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Talk:Tarrasque - Where NotBrandX brought the issue up in the talk page.<br/>

Doom seems to have made some blanket e-mail so that he can privately exchange insults about me, and plan on how to bring me down or something. I'm not particularly bothered nor intimidated so it's not an issue, but I thought it might help you make sense of some of his posts. I'm going to send you an e-mail to alert you to the situation, since I don't know how consistently you check back here. --[[User:Zabasaz|Zabasaz]]

I had no idea the crap I was stepping into when I decided to have some fun with what I (and others) thought was just another 4chan joke; I've enjoyed much of the humor of the site, didn't know I needed permission to contribute. Now that I know the truth about Zabasaz (or whoever the hell he is), I want nothing to do with that fucker. I see he's sending you e-mails, probably the better to hide his lies; you might want to read NotBrandX's discussion page (among too many other sites to list here) to get a better idea of what you're dealing with, in case you don't already know. Anyway, I know it sucks to be a moderator, but it sure looks like you're banning the wrong guy, IMO, at least consider banning the one that keeps bugging you, is all I'm saying. --[[User:BobtheMighty|BobtheMighty]]

== Partnership with Sturmkrieg ==

Hello, one of my friends sent me a link to one of your articles recently.  I've read several articles here and it seems really good.  I started a 40k wiki for user created stuff, including, fanfiction, custom rules, and player written codexes.  I'm looking for like minded websites to partner with, mostly to at least share links on the main page or something like that.  Since your website has a large 40k focus, I thought you might be interested.  I like a lot of the 40k humor and was wondering if I could fit it into Sturmkrieg, but now I don't need to since I've already found this website that specializes in that.  You can see where I've provided links for supporting websites [http://en.sturmkrieg.com here].  I also plan to rotate links for all the supporters on that main banner there.

[[Talk:Angry Marines]] and [[Talk:Lawful Stupid]] seem to be spambot magnets (attracting the likes of [[Special:Contributions/61.55.141.10|61.55.141.10]], [[Special:Contributions/110.77.143.155|110.77.143.155]], [[Special:Contributions/58.22.151.6|58.22.151.6]], and [[Special:Contributions/65.60.2.186|65.60.2.186]]).  [[Special:Contributions/184.22.164.54|184.22.164.54]] also monkeyed around on [[Talk:End Times]], but that page doesn't seem to be attracting other spammers so much.  --[[User:Not LongPoster Again|Not LongPoster Again]] 18:47, 26 October 2012 (BST)

[[Special:Contributions/91.237.249.249|91.237.249.249]] keeps putting up "test, just a test" sections, which aren't spam but are definitely suspicious.

== Edit War: Death Korps==

: Sorry to bother you, but we got an edit war on the [[Death Korps of Krieg]] page. There's another anon who keeps putting in the Zapp pic, while I keep deleting it.

== Why was I blocked? ==

And why was my account deleted? [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Urhixidur My contributions] were worthwhile, so what is the justification? There seems to be a certain lack of due process... Signed: Formerly Urhixidur

==Possible Trouble Brewing==
Heya, Wikifag, Jaimas here. The reason for my writing you here is that we appear to be having a burgeoning potential [[Skub]]War going on in the [[Talk:DoWpro|talk page]] of the [[DoWpro]] article. Some unregistered dude has been complaining about the article itself, calling it blatant advertisement, so in the interest of equal time, I made a page dedicated to [[Dawn of War Mods|Some of the best mods for Dawn of War]], and re-wrote the DoWpro article to seem less like passive-aggressive '''THIS IS AWESOME''' wankery, getting down some of the history of the mod, and its pros and cons. This did nothing to stem the tide of the recent non-regged posters and appears to have angered them even more. Considering that [[Special:Contributions/37.199.73.159|posters]] in [[Special:Contributions/81.227.82.87|question]] have literally no contributions to the Wiki outside of complaints on the talk page, I thought it a good idea to let you know and keep you abreast of things as they happen. --[[User:Jaimas|Jaimas]] 14:18, 12 January 2013 (EST)


==Favicon==
The favicon is tough to test due to long-term caching, but at this point I've believe the situation is that it's working fine on the mainpage, and nowhere else. The reason it's often visible on other pages is because it's retained by your browser as you travel from the mainpage to other pages which don't send favicon data, but this doesn't apply when linked directly to a page from an external site (such as /tg/) nor if you have a page open for a long time and then refresh it.

Hello, I was registerred under the name EspejoHumeante, and was a regular contributor for some time before that. I was banned on March 10 for being a spam account. If this was an error, please unban me, and if not, I would like to know what it was that I did wrong. Thank you for your time, sorry for the inconvenience. -EspejoHumeante.
:False positive. I was blocking a lot of spammy accounts at the time and at first glance your account name fits one of the general patterns used by spam accounts. I can see from the logs that you've made legitimate contributions before; the account and IP should be unblocked now. Sorry about that. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 04:30, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

==Editing Conflict==
I'm having a problem with Ahriman's Aide: he's editing the story I posted over at [[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Bound_Fate_(Warhammer_High) Bound Fate]] with inflammatory personal rhetoric. It's a repeated issue, and I'm not the first person it's happened to; I'll warn you he has access to a college campus with a few different IP addresses. Could you head this off before it becomes a real problem? --[[User:ILikeCommas|ILikeCommas]] 15:54, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

== /tg/heim ==

Just wanted to pop by and say thank you on behalf of the /tg/heim community for hosting us. Originally we thought we'd just be a handful of players, but we're suddenly at 30+ warbands, with no signs of abatement! 

I don't know if you've been following the discussion on the talk page; but one of the issues we're thinking about is long-term footprint; at the current rate we're going will be outputting hundreds of battle reports in a month. We're thinking of perhaps purging the Open League and starting from scratch every month or so to keep down the bloat, but there are worries about the logistics of this - this would require the currently existing warband pages for the Open League to be deleted (or moved to personal pages for posterity) and new ones to be created in their place. I figured I'd just go ahead and ask if you had any input or advice on the best way to go about this. --[[User:Quinze|Quinze]] ([[User talk:Quinze|talk]])


== Massive Thanks For Everything So Far and a Special Gift ==


Hey Wikifag.
I saw your post on the frontpage where you were talking about your recent 'news & updates' thread on 4chan, and all of your years of hard work on the wiki! (Incidentally, you might want to change the frontpage link. It goes to 4chan where the original thread has already been pruned. It's archived here though: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/23618021/ )

I've really enjoyed 1d4chan.org, and respect the work you've put into it. I've really liked the 'humor' sections like the ANGRY MARINES and the SISTERS OF CLEANING.

Anyway, in contemplation of your work to date, I wanted to do something in the way of contributing something significant to the site. ''The Shape of the Nightmare to Come'' was written and posted by LordLucan, of the www.heresy-online.net forums, from 2009 to 2010. The story was his imagining of how the universe of Warhammer 40,000 would change by the year 50,000.
The writing represented some of the finest Warhammer 40k fanfiction that has ever been posted to the Internet. So, I've compiled its various sections, wikified the works (and this took a LOT of time energy, I can assure you!) and have posted them on 1d4chan.org .
I went a couple steps ahead of what's typical too, and also added extra formatting in some places, a title banner, and a dynamic navigation section.

[[Image:The_shape_of_the_nightmare_to_come_MYOC_BANNER.png|800px]]

'''[[Story:The_Shape_Of_The_Nightmare_To_Come_50k|The Shape of the Nightmare to Come]]'''

Thanks again for everything and I hope you like the new additions!

== Assistance with Archival ==

Greetings, Wikifag, I am an envoy from /tg/heim. With a league reset currently in the works, we were wondering if you could provide a text dump of the warband pages listed in the Participating Warbands section of /tg/heim, with formatting of the pages intact. If there isn't a tool for this we'll be happy to do it on our own, though I figured I'd ask to save some time if you can do it with a few clicks.

== File Renaming ==

Hey, Wikifag.
I was wondering if you could do some file-renaming?
Specifically... take, <nowiki>[[File:Niggermander.jpg]]</nowiki> and rename it to say... "Marneus Calgar Warhammer 40k Ultramarines Ghetto Fab Chapter Master.jpg"

It becomes hard to show people not from 4chan the Ultramarines page with stuff like that laying about.

== RPS throwing us traffic ==

Holy shit.  Reading a highly-regarded vidya gaem blog, and what do I see?  [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/23/sadly-no-fey-corgis-neverwinter-update/ A motherfucking link to 1d4chan in the text above the fold].  Have we arrived?  Are we famous now? --[[User:NotBrandX|NotBrandX]] ([[User talk:NotBrandX|talk]]) 04:14, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

:Over the last two days RPS has sent us just over a thousand visitors and caused almost five thousand extra pageviews, a statistical anomaly which is actually completely absorbed by the random variance in traffic from day to day anyway. Last Monday (the 19th) saw more traffic than the 23rd did. It's kind of a shame that one can be linked by RPS and barely get a blip in traffic as a result, but oh well! It's cool that Ben dropped us a link anyhow, although I'd be curious to know if he's a general 1d4chan user or he just stumbled across an interesting page on the internets by random happenstance.

:Regarding our famousness, though - well, we might not be widely discussed, but it's getting difficult to find a Warhammer-related search term that google doesn't tell me we place in the top ten results (by average) for. Apparently we're very popular. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 11:53, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

== Strikethrough Edits ==

Can we please get an official policy against these? Most of the strikethroughs I see are pointless edit-warring or similar.

I think it would be good to have an official set of guidelines for using strikethroughs. --[[User:Bjorn|Bjorn]] ([[User talk:Bjorn|talk]]) 16:36, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
:Seconded. I know [[User:Petro|Petro]] links to a nice, humorous description of when strikethrough is appropriate, and most of what I see is in blatant disregard of good editing sense and readability.--[[User:Boss Ballkrusha|Boss Ballkrusha]] ([[User talk:Boss Ballkrusha|talk]]) 16:46, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

== Offer of assistance ==

It is becoming increasingly clear that AssistantWikifag alone cannot handle all the workload that comes with supervising 1d4chan. As I have had considerable previous experience acting as a wiki administrator, I would like to offer my services to 1d4chan as a second assistant for you. I have several ideas as to cleaning up the wiki and plan to strengthen 1d4chan policies, which should lead to an overall increase in quality.--[[User:Newerfag|Newerfag]] ([[User talk:Newerfag|talk]]) 08:27, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

: I wonder what basis you use for saying that I can't handle the workload.  Is it because I haven't deleted the pages that you flagged?  When I accepted Wikifag's offer of adminship, I understood the position as not so much about content enforcement as behavior monitoring.  Honestly, if I had been on the wiki at the instant you tried to wipe Halo from the wiki, I'd have given you a three-day ban for it (not so much as punishment but to enforce a cool-down period and give you some time to think about the situation).  I'm feeling inclined to do so now that you've harassed another user -- the only reason I've not is that the argument's already pretty much blown over, but every time I see your name next to a negative number in the list of recent changes, my ban-finger itches.
: I didn't weigh in on your proposal for a content policy because other users laid out the arguments against them that I would have used.
: tl;dr If you want me to delete pages, I need to have confidence that they don't just offend ''your'' sense of what 1d4chan ought to be. Some of the pages in the deletion category probably are objectively pointless ("HURR" and "DURR" come to mind) and will likely be deleted before too long, but I would much rather commit errors of omission rather than act heavy-handedly. --[[User:AssistantWikifag|AssistantWikifag]] ([[User talk:AssistantWikifag|talk]]) 15:12, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

:Very well. I suppose we simply have different ideas about what it means to be an admin, then. While I do not completely agree with you, I am willing to accept your judgment in this matter.--[[User:Newerfag|Newerfag]] ([[User talk:Newerfag|talk]]) 15:27, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

==Articles under attack==

Hello wikifag, I hope I am writing this in the right place. A couple of articles on the wiki are being vandalised ([[Games Workshop]] and [[Minorities in the Imperium of Mankind]]) by someone who is being a bit racially motivated it seems. I reversed his deleting of the articles' content but he seems to be ready to make an edit war of it, which of course I don't want to it devolve into. I wonder if you can advise what to do in this matter? - Alorend 23:58, 27 January 2014

== Requesting Anonymous Editing Blocks ==

Alright, so the Knights Inductor Codex right now is the most edited Fandex on the wiki, and unfortunately it isn't exactly popular at all with /tg/. Over a month ago, I headed up an effort between me and the other two primary editors for [[Codex - Knights Inductor]] to start a Lore Rewriting project over at [[Knights Inductor (Rewrite)]]. Unfortunately it was overwhelmingly attacked by vandals from TG with pretty much nothing better to do. 

Right now I'm trying to get the Rewrite finished up so the Knights Inductor could fit better with the setting again, but I'd like to be sure that it isn't going to be harassed again. So here I'd like to request an Anonymous Edit Block for the following Pages:

*: [[Codex - Knights Inductor]]

*: [[Tactics - Knights Inductor]]

*: [[Knights Inductor (Rewrite)]]

*: [[Knights Inductor]]

*: [[Return of the Reasonable Marines]]

*: [[An Investigation into the Heresy of the Reasonable Marines]]

Now, I know that blocking anonymous edits for these pages won't stop vandals entirely, but it would help a little in keeping them secure if people have to risk permabans for vandalizing our hard work.

Thanks. [[User:MoarExterminatus|MoarExterminatus]] ([[User talk:MoarExterminatus|talk]]) 01:50, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

: Hello MoarExterminatus, welcome to 1d4chan!  (Hopefully Wikifag doesn't mind me taking this one.)
: More content is almost always welcome.  The main rule is that it has to be "/tg/ related", and oWoD is certainly that.  Please, feel free to create articles (and templates and categories and anything else) for those topics you've brought up -- it's been pointed out before that our wiki is lacking attention to non-Warhammer-40K topics, and that's only going to change if users like you get in here and add more content.
: Going forward, if you'd like to ask a question to 1d4chan in general, your best bet is to bring it up on [[Talk:Main Page]].  Thanks!

== Popular Pages gone ==
Hail, mighty Wikifag. As you request, I shall report about broken functionalities. The [[Special:PopularPages]] is gone, as it is linked on the Mainpage under Quickstart/Noobs. With best regards, --[[Special:Contributions/2A02:2028:563:2C01:6D98:BB05:BE27:1701|2A02:2028:563:2C01:6D98:BB05:BE27:1701]] 14:26, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

== Requesting a temporary ban/suspension of Asorel ==

Asorel is a user who for some reason thinks the only things that should exist on this wiki are the pages they like, and they refuse to listen to anyone who disputes them on this matter, slapping delete tags onto any page they dislike without first using the discussion page, and then continuously deleting the content while people are trying to talk to them in the discussion page.  This has resulted in many editwars, one of which you had to personally intervene to edit.  As such I'd like to request a temporary ban/suspension of them to give them a chance to cool off, hopefully they'll learn what they've done wrong (which has been told to them multiple times by multiple users) in the meantime.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 22:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

:Now you presume to claim moral superiority to me? What an excellent way to validate your arguments. I won't bother contesting your accusation, as the written evidence of my actions more than contradicts them.--[[User:Asorel|Asorel]] ([[User talk:Asorel|talk]]) 23:10, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
:: You know, looking at your User Contributions Page pretty much confirms exactly what Triacom is saying about you. All you really ever seem to do on this wiki is delete things that you don't like. Nearly everything you've got is a 3 or 4 digit red edit, and the only positive edits you've made are to start shit on discussions. Look, you really should start listening and talking to people more.

:::Thank you Evilexecutive, and thank you Asorel for asking for people to look at your contribution page as it confirms everything I've mentioned.  I don't have to "claim" moral superiority, I have it already since I've asked you to tone it down multiple times in multiple discussion pages, I've tried talking to you about it on your talk page, and I've tried to talk to you about it in the summary pages, yet you refuse to listen and think the only things that can be up are the things you like.  Personally I think this is best shown on your talk page, where you tried deleting every negative discussion purely because you didn't like it, in fact when I told you that it fall to you to decide what belongs on the your talk page and the wiki you replied with this: "Actually, it does. A wiki is by definition something anyone can edit, and I would like to keep your autism out of my talk page unless absolutely necessary".  Making this topic on Wikifag's page was a last resort since you refuse to listen to anyone lower than an Admin since the only times you actually stopped were when an admin shut you down, or you got your way.  Quite literally the only thing stopping me from asking for a perma-ban is because once in a blue moon you make an actual edit that isn't slapping a delete tag on a page, or talking shit in a talk page.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 07:34, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

:::::There have been several occasions on which I have withdrawn a delete request when shown a valid reason why a page should stay.

::::::Without a reason as to why the page should exist?  If you're saying that a page needs to be deleted, it doesn't fall to anybody except you to give a reason why it should be deleted, if you can't think of one, or don't have a valid one (not personally finding something funny or interesting are certainly not valid reasons) then the page shouldn't be deleted.  Let's look at why your deletion tags have no rhyme or reason: You blanked the tubes page and put it up for deletion because you thought it wasn't funny, or informative, then you blanked and put up the Overcosted page for deletion for being too informative.  When I undid your edits on the Overcosted page saying that it's perfectly fine for somebody to explain something in depth you called me retarded while undoing my edits, and when Evilexecutive undid your edits while making the same argument (that there's no reason to delete it) you listened, and called me autistic.  Please just listen to what Wikifag suggested, stick to revision and addition work instead of putting delete tags on the pages you don't like.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 19:33, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

:::::::::I'm replying here because you never posted in the articles you want to talk in, but while we're here let's look at my arguments, when I first undid your deletion I said: "This is even more /tg/ related then many things you've marked for deletion."  How is that objectively and demonstrably false?  You deleted the page again, asking if I was retarded for wanting to keep the page, then I said "Of course not, however there's no reason deleting an article written by somebody else if they wanted to explain something."  How is that objectively and demonstrably false?  You responded by deleting it again, and saying "Yes, it is. I don't give a shit if they 'thought' it was necessary, that doesn't make it so. Is that the entire pretense of your white knighting? Protecting the fee-fees of the poor, innocent contributors?"  So you are deleting it because it's too informative.  I responded with "Of course not, however it's a very common term here, so if they thought they should be informative, then let them."  How is that objectively and demonstrably false?  You responded by deleting the page yet again, and saying "Again, defending the honor of page creators is not grounds for keeping a useless page active. What they think is irrelevant if it is not reflective of reality."  So according to your statements here, you don't care whatsoever about what other users think/write.  In short, none of the statements I said there are objectively and demonstrably false, and I did not mean to discuss the articles, I was talking about your actions, and your actions only, because I made this article specifically to talk about your actions.  I'm still talking about your actions, pretending I'm not is just childish.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 20:50, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::Does my not ''initially'' using the discussion page prevent you from doing so now? Almost none of those statements are ones you made in your previous post, so it's obvious I was not referring to them. You claimed, erroneously, that another editor made the same arguments you did, and I accepted the arguments when that editor made them. This editor made substantially different arguments.
:::::::::"So according to your statements here, you don't care whatsoever about what other users think/write." Don't twist my words. I was pointing out that a creator 'thinking a page is useful' is not grounds for keeping a page that otherwise does not serve a purpose. If I create a page describing the various ways in which a marsupial may undress a Barbie, me thinking that page is useful has no bearing on how useful the page actually is to the wiki. You know what, let's just use this hypothetical page as an example, as abstract reasoning appears to be failing you.
:::::::: Little Jimmy creates the page, "How the wombat declothes Barbie." Johnny flags the page for deletion, because wombats and Barbie aren't what teejee's all about. Tommy comes along and undoes Johnny's edit. Tommy says he did this because Jimmy thought Barbie and Warhammer went hand in hand, and that's good enough for him. Then Danny comes along, and explains to Johnny how Wombats and Barbie is actually a very popular teejee inside joke, and that a lot of other pages wouldn't work quite right if the page was deleted. Johnny tells Danny that he has a point, and withdraws the deletion.
::::::::Tommy made an appeal to emotion and didn't have any argument of substance. Danny made a concrete argument that proved why the page was useful. Do you see how what Tommy said and what Danny said are just a teensy bit different?--[[User:Asorel|Asorel]] ([[User talk:Asorel|talk]]) 21:29, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
::::::::::Of course it doesn't prevent me from making a page there, however you've made no effort to move there and this is already a discussion about your behaviour so it's fitting to talk about what you've done here, and not on the page since this argument isn't about the page, it's about you.  Evilexecutive said that the page has no reason to be deleted, just as I did.  Let's look at something you said now, how is saying "What they think is irrelevant if it is not reflective of reality."  Your argument at the time was not that the page was useless, it was that it was unnecessary because the entire definition was summed up in the name.  Also your analogy is terrible, Overcosting is one of the main gripes everyone has with Warhammer, and your Barbie example has nothing in common with it.  Your analogy is better suited to discussing the Rebecca Black page, which if you remember, I actually sided with you on, which is why I folded that page away into another, causing the old page to have no reason to exist besides a redirect, though funnily enough when told it was an outside joke that other people link to you refused to stop attacking the Rebecca Black page, so you don't even follow your own analogy.  By the way, no page is damaged by losing a link to another page.  It doesn't stop them from working right in any way shape or form, and I'm very certain it was written like that by Evilexecutive to get you to stop because it certainly wasn't helpful in any way.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 22:01, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

== Requesting a permaban for The Forgefather. ==

I'm requesting for Forgefather (who is probably Asorel) to be permanently banned because they have shown very little besides destructive behaviour and that compromise is an alien concept to them.  All attempts to reason with them from any user end with the ultimatum that they have to get their way, and they've shown they care nothing for the other users on the wiki.  They are also most likely Asorel because the account was created right after you asked Asorel to stop slapping delete tags on everything, and immediately after its creation the Forgefather account started slapping delete tags on everything (the Asorel account has also not been used since Forgefathers creation) not to mention they both talk the same, have the same arguments and mindsets, and Forgefather has never denied they're the same when accused of it.  If you look at their contributions page you can see a long list of arguments between them and the other users (including me) because they think that not liking a section is more than enough evidence to delete it.  They have not once ever started a discussion by asking whether something should or should not be on the wiki (and as earlier mentioned they ignore all evidence that proves them wrong) and I've no doubt that if they are allowed to stay they'll continue their destructive behaviour.
I know that I've asked them to stop, I know several others have asked them to stop, and yet they continue as if nobody has ever tried to contact them about it, so I've come here as a last resort.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 09:24, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

== Requesting a temporary suspension for user Blackcap/82.14.182.146 ==

I'm requesting a temporary suspension for Blackcap/82.14.182.146 as their main contribution to the wiki recently is to repeatedly delete the exact same paragraph on the 30k tactics page.  They've refused to have a discussion about it, and according to them their main reason for removing a tactic is because the page isn't a tactics page.  It does not seem as if they're going to stop anytime soon either and when I told them they could discuss it or I'd request their suspension, they told me to go ahead and request their suspension.  I'm hoping a suspension will help them clear their head, and if not then I'll have to ask to ban them, though I'd much rather not.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 04:19, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

== YouTube Embeds ==

Not something that comes up a lot, but it sometimes looks better than just listing links. There are a few extensions that add this in. [[User:Negrohotep|Negrohotep]] ([[User talk:Negrohotep|talk]]) 16:22, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
:I've added the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo EmbedVideo] extension if you're still looking to use this. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 17:21, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

== Captcha/Skathach Wraithknight (Eldar Tactics) contribution issue ==

Hello, the Captcha system is preventing me from contributing an errata update on Skathach wraithknights in the Eldar tactics section due to my linking to proof of the errata.  The modified section of the paragraph should read as follows: The Warp Shunt Generator, allows you to leave the table in the movement phase, allowing you to get out of a sticky situation, or to move in any direction 18"(*), and then scatter 1d6.  You can also use it to disengage from a fight (*).   

The stars should indicate a link to the following image which I can't copy-paste intact here for the same reason.  h t t p :/ /i . img ur . com / y8qrvPm . png

:How exactly is it stopping you? The captcha is triggered if you add a link to another site, which is by design, because that trips spammers. Are you having a problem solving the captcha? --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 17:14, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

::Yes, it's asking me what the opposite of Crunch or Fluff is to which there is none that make sense.  I tried them regardless and it still doesn't accept the answer

:::Are you a bot? You mentioned the answers to both questions in your post. The first question is the answer to the second question and the second question is the answer to the first question, I guess wikifag can provide the answer in a less cryptic way but I'm not sure if I'm allowed. Note that there are sometimes a question both at the top and at the bottom of the page, although I think that only comes up when you are creating pages. I've added what you requested, if you want to change the name it appears as like if you wanted it to read "errata" you should do <nowiki>[[link|errata]]</nowiki> [[User:Angry Pirate|Angry Pirate]] ([[User talk:Angry Pirate|talk]]) 18:30, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Thank you.  I wasn't thinking of the two words in context with each other. Certainly I thought "fluff" might be referring to game fluff or the noun "fluff" as opposed to the verb.  Might make more sense to say "the opposite of To Fluff/To Crunch" than simply "fluff/crunch"
:::::The questions are all written such that you should be able to find the answer by looking up the subject on the site itself. The articles for [[Fluff]] and [[Crunch]] both mention that they are opposite to each other in their first paragraphs. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 23:23, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

== User Lucy spamming and creating new pages with advertising rubbish ==
Just found this sock puppet called [[User:Lucy|Lucy]] creating new pages filled with advertisements and general spammy rubbish. Here is the contribution logs ([[Special:Contributions/Lucy]]). I request an immediate permaban on this bot and immediate deletion on the pages. [[User:Derpysaurus|Derpysaurus]]

== Stub articles ==

There are many "stub" templates on short pages. Are they necessary if the page's already to the point? 
ex. [[Campaign_setting]], [[Magical_realm]], [[Shield]]
:This is something better discussed on those pages as the stub tag is something any user can add, and while I mean no disrespect to Wikifag, you don't need their permission to remove it if you feel the article's long enough.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 08:58, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
::Yeah. Mostly, the problem is that people don't remove the stub template after they've expanded an article. If you think an article provides decent coverage of its subject, it's not a stub anymore and the template should be removed. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 19:24, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

== Lifeweb ==

I know it is irredeemable but i believe it was deleted due to my bad wording or you happen to be a Lifeweb player wich is unlikely since i have no idea about a pedophile culture within Lifeweb and so i ask you to a new chance at making a Lifeweb page with appropriate fate descriptions and if your answer is the likely no where can i find advice so that this does not happen again other than common sense wich i already have plenty of.
:First, Wikifag had nothing to do with this. Second, Lifeweb isn't relevant to /tg/ in the first place so it has no reason to be here. If you really had common sense, you would know that already. --[[User:Newerfag|Newerfag]] ([[User talk:Newerfag|talk]]) 03:12, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
:You're overreacting. Your article hasn't been deleted yet and everything you wrote on there is still there. If you really want Lifeweb to be on the wiki however (I'm honestly not too sure why), you could just add it to the [[MMORPG]] page as a new topic as that is what it is in a purely technical sense.  -- [[User:Triacom|Triacom]] ([[User talk:Triacom|talk]]) 09:29, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

==Spambots==

[[Image:Deletion_Log.png|300px|thumb|right|Not shown: humans tearing their hair out at CAPTCHAs that spambots are better at solving than humans.]]

They're back, still not nearly as bad as the last time tho. [[User:Tactical Mehren|Tactical Mehren]] ([[User talk:Tactical Mehren|talk]]) 12:33, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
:Really? More than half the recent changes page seems to consist of spambot edits. That's pretty bad if you ask me. --[[User:Newerfag|Newerfag]] ([[User talk:Newerfag|talk]]) 14:52, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
"Not nearly as bad" is a fucking understatement. This shit is covering 3/4 of the recent changes at its ''maximum count limit''. We need a fucking purge, unfortunately I am overwhelmed with the amount of shit these bots seem to carry. We need immediate action <u>right now.</u> [[User:Derpysaurus|Derpysaurus]]
:They're all gone now; I think it should be safe to remove the restrictive permissions at this point. --[[User:Newerfag|Newerfag]] ([[User talk:Newerfag|talk]]) 18:49, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
'''Bold text'''This is F'inbg ridiculous. All I want to do is create a wiki account and in order to do this I have to answer questions that are not only stupid, but not even searchable on wiki. What normal f'ing person knows the species of a punpun or what the f'ing capital of some sci fi empire in the milky way. I mean FCUK, I have an F'ing master's degree and this sh&t is above and beyond abnormal. how do I create an account, as a legit user without having to hire a geek to answer these stupid - a%% questions?

: We apologize for the inconvenience, but the alternative to the trivia questions is getting swamped by spam, unfortunately.  It used to be really, really bad (see the image to the right).  "Conventional" CAPTCHA wasn't helping to stem the tide.  
: As for your question, [[Punpun]] is definitely searchable on this wiki.  Try one of the linked keywords from the opening paragraph.  --[[User:AssistantWikifag|AssistantWikifag]] ([[User talk:AssistantWikifag|talk]]) 13:26, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

==Article Vandalism/Edit Warring==
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't bother getting you involved over something this minor, but one of the pages regarding Dawn of War mods (specifically [[DoWpro]]) has seen repeated vandalism and attempts at deletion from one anonymous user that thus far has operated from several IP addresses, including [Special:Contributions/81.227.82.87|81.227.82.87], and [Special:Contributions/81.225.38.16|81.225.38.16]. More recently, under another IP, ([[Special:Contributions/194.236.207.67|194.236.207.67]] and [[Special:Contributions/176.10.248.196|176.10.248.196]]) they've decided, apropos of nothing, four years later, to attempt to remove the article in its entirety with a long-winded deletion post and claiming there was some kind of mandate for its removal when the discussion page shows quite the opposite (I.E. a desire for articles on other good DOW mods). I completely rewrote the article from scratch to be less openly fanboy-ish (ironic considering this is /tg/ and gushing over the 41st millenium is kind of the point) and stick to keeping it informative, but the dude clearly has an axe to grind, and immediately deleted it again. Since he's on a dynamic IP I don't know if he can be actually banned effectively, but I wanted you to be aware of the situation and what's been going on there. He hasn't gone after any of the other mod pages, to the best of my knowledge, so this may be a case where it's just one jackass with a bug up his ass taking shots at a mod he doesn't like. Any help you could give would be appreciated. -- [[User:Jaimas|Jaimas]] ([[User talk:Jaimas|talk]]) 10:13 AM, 11 January 2018 (EST)
::Welp, here I am, that anonymous user (I never made an account back in the old days (I mostly made random minor edits for grammatical or factual errors and the like) and not now, originally, either - but heck, best to have one when I make larger/longer edits, I suppose. Welp, I'm that guy, and yeah - I haven't actively been trying to avoid a ban (and as far as I know, no-one has attempted to ban me, either), just have a dynamic IP. However, it's not a case of vandalism - I barely even know where to start, but let's start with what is a rather obvious, blatant lie.<br>
::When the page was restored, an old version was restored - and this must've been deliberate, of course; one does not accidentally just click on an old revision, and then also accidentally entirely ignore restoring the most recent version - where more than half of the discussion (I'd say it's about two thirds that are missing) was held. Heck, I've got personal backups of all of my old "posts" in that discussion (unfortunately not the others, however), that I could easily upload and prove it with, should there be a need for that. Anyways, in that - deliberately excluded - part, it 'was' (by majority) agreed upon to remove the article, and have the general page for DoW mods. So, that the discussion page shows "quite the opposite" is true in the sense that the one that was restored, does - the full one, where discussions where actually held, however, is quite the opposite of the opposite, so to speak (i.e. what is claimed in the above message is patently false, except for the specific revision (or earlier revisions) that was restored. As a side-note, I'd very much claim - just personally, mind - that the point of /tg/ is most certainly 'not' to just be a W40K fan-board (or wiki); I'm a /tg/ graybeard, and I for one have never even so much as held a W40K mini, and I still very much enjoy the board (and, primarily, the wiki).<br>
::Further, as me and Newerfag both pointed out in the current discussion being held over on that article, these "other mod pages" amount to... One other mod page. So, yeah, that's... Yeah. And I'll add that personal insults and the like - since I like to prefer to think that we're all elegan/tg/entlemen and ca/tg/girls, here - is something I've never indulged in, but which has been a repeated "tactic" of the previous poster, here.<br>
::So, no, it's not a "jackass taking shots", or anything of the sort; just me, and I'm... Me. And I do all but apologize for chiming in here, wikifag, as I wouldn't think this would be needed, but I at the very least had to clarify the outright lies being told, as... Well, being lies, and presenting the other side. The discussion is currently ongoing on the relevant page, and I think that is working fine, as it is, and no particular intervention is needed - just my two coppers and Ludi'Drizzt, however.

== Suspension/ban request 193.78.85.153 ==

The guy keeps undoing one paragraph on Space Marine Legion List page, probably because he's butthurt Bligh said RG assault squads are lesser cheese he wants them to be. Tried to convince him he's behaving inappropriate (Discussion on my page) - no luck. Maybe something can be done to pacify him?


I second a ban for the IP address as well. The LA:AOAL books also disagrees with his interpretation as Infantry and Jump Infantry are considered different unit types. -- [[User:Valvatorez]] 23:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
:Not really, Valvatorez, the rulebook states all rules affecting infantry affect Jump Infantry as well (p.66 of HH Rulebook): "Jump Infantry would, for example, follow the rules for Jump units and Infantry". However, this particular case is an exeption, and a link is provided to confirm. --[[User:Flutist|Flutist]] ([[User talk:Flutist|talk]]) 12:55, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

==Banning anons from uploading images==

Hey! It seems that for the past few months, certain anons have been uploading and spamming images on pages with little or no rime or reason. The images are just there to make the page look trashy and bloated. So far the attacks have been conducted by a very particular persistent anon called [[Special:Contributions/2A02:587:3A0B:B100:E088:4BA2:4059:3AB1]]. His ass was banned a few times as can be seen here:[[Special:Contributions/2A02:587:3A1B:2300:E088:4BA2:4059:3AB1]], [[Special:Contributions/2A02:587:3A16:C100:E088:4BA2:4059:3AB1]] and [[Special:Contributions/2A02:587:3A0A:6B00:4099:5D97:9196:C893]]. I was just wondering if it is possible for you to prevent anons from uploading anymore images like before as it is being abused by certain little shits. [[User:Derpysaurus|Derpysaurus]]

== Requesting ban ==

Someone with the IP 103.75.118.176 is blanking the article [[Burning Blades]]. I reverted his changes a couple of times, posted about it in the article's discussion, and posted a brief message attempting to direct him there, along with marking the article for deletion, as he argued that the "creator of the page requested it." Subsequently he deleted my section on the talk page, replacing it with "no u" and blanked the article again. Blanking an article is one thing, but trying to blank discussion on it is another entirely. Thusly, I'm requesting that he be banned and any changes made because of this shit reverted. --[[User:Dornfag|Dornfag]] ([[User talk:Dornfag|talk]]) 04:08, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

== Ban request==

I'd like to put forward to ban the user with IP: (73.141.166.227) out. From his edit notes, its either they're an obvious troll just out here to generally inconvenience everyone involved, or someone who really needs to get a barbed stick dislodged from their anal cavity. And all he does is BaW about and delete SJW topics, never actually contributing anything worthwhile to the article.

== Edit History Purge Request ==

Summary : someone had a very wrong idea of what the common wa******* *** player/fan is about. This is me.

Now, after being exposed to some real /tg/, 1d4chan and editors, I do not want to be associated with any of you any longer.

These are the articles in question :

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_Adventures

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Talk:Warhammer_Adventures


I would like for all the edits done by me to be purged from the edit history.

It causes me severe embarrassment to be associated with people from this website, as the reason for the request.

We are clearly polar opposites in ways that make it impossible for me to frequent this website any longer.

So please, I would like them to be removed in any way possible.


If not, I would like my username to be made anonymous forever or changed altogether. Whichever it is at your reach, please.

:As others have stated, you are considerably overreacting and you'd be a much happier person if you just forgot about it and moved on with your life. Nonetheless, if you really want your account mangled, email me at root[at]1d4chan.org. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] ([[User talk:Wikifag|talk]]) 08:23, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
