Starbound Wiki
Hi Math. I recently started looking around for a Starbound wiki to edit. I ended up at "Hero's Starbound Wiki". Needless to say I am really disappointed where hero is taking this wiki, and in my opinion the Starbound community needs a successful Starbound Wikia. I took this opertunity to found starboundgame.wikia.com in the hopes to acomplish that. I was wondering if you'd be at all interested in becoming an administrator and helping out when you can? I'm positive If we get a strong foundation started before the beta is released we can become a prominent Starbound Wiki on the net. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

 * Hey Dak, unfortunately, I'm very busy with work and don't have much time to devote to other projects. It also seems very unlikely that I will play Starbound in the near future.


 * However, if you could use some general wiki help that's not related to Starbound-specific content &mdash; for example, help with template design, site-wide CSS styling, JavaScript features, or just someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of, I'd be happy to be a temporary helper in a non-admin role, as time allows. Just let me know if there's anything I can do for you!


 * That would be greatly appreciated! I'll get back to you if I need any help! Thanks!

RE: Rollback
Sure, I have no objections. Sounds like a useful tool to have. Oscuritaforze (talk) 04:13, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Small Request
Hey math! It looks like the Starbound Wiki is going to be moderately successful. I am having a small issue with my Template:MainpageHeading. I want to set it up just like ours here, of course with a different BG image. For me the custom BG is not taking effect. At first I thought it was a caching problem but its been almost a full day and it still hasn't taken effect. I have the following code on my Common.css:

/* Mainpage heading styling */ .MainpageHeading { background:url("http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/starboundgame/images/a/a8/HeaderBG.PNG") !important;

It's also worth noting that the template works correctly on monobook.

 * According to Help:JavaScript and CSS Cheatsheet, the Monobook skin automatically includes MediaWiki:Common.css, but the Oasis skin does not. So, in order to get Common.css to work in Oasis, you have to manually import it.


 * To do that, simply add the following code to the top of your MediaWiki:Wikia.css page:


 * On a related note, there is a small syntax error in your MediaWiki:Common.css. Particularly, the part that you copy/pasted above, notice that there is a missing closing brace } . Make sure to add that closing brace so that it looks like this:

Reporting a Vandal
Hello,

This user repeatedly vandalized the Green Dye and Jungle Grass Seeds pages.

Thanks, Oscuritaforze (talk) 17:20, May 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey, I've blocked them. Thanks for reverting the vandalism and letting me know.


 * No problem, but I just reported 'im. It was Drkpanoz who reverted the vandalism. Oscuritaforze (talk) 03:32, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

User:Old Mang
The user mentioned above has been making several severely disruptive edits across the wiki. He also created a couple of files for this purpose.

Edit: He also created this page.

Thanks. Oscuritaforze (talk) 03:38, May 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * The pages have been deleted and the user has been blocked. Thank you, Oscuritaforze.

Vandals
Hello,

This user has repeatedly vandalized the Excalibur and Night's Edge pages. They also made some edits to the Ocram page, but those seemed to be in good faith.

Also, this user comes back every so often to add pages to categories they very clearly do not belong in.

Thanks. Oscuritaforze (talk) 03:54, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * The first one has been blocked. The second one&mdash;about the categories&mdash;will keep an eye on them for a few days. May just be an accident or something, not necessarily vandalism.

Persistent Vandal
Hello,

I already reported this on a thread on the Administrator Noticeboard, but I don't know if it was seen, so I'll post it here, too:

This user has been coming back to the wiki periodically over the past few days and making a series of disruptive edits. Edits made since I started that forum thread were on the Flower of Fire, Hamdrax, Queen Statue, and Spectral Arrow pages.

Thanks, Oscuritaforze (talk) 22:48, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

(P.S. For something like this, just letting one admin know is sufficient, right? No need to post a message like this on multiple talk pages?)


 * Thanks for the heads up, I've replied on the admin noticeboard thread now. And yes, letting one admin know should be sufficient in theory. In practice, if you don't receive a response, feel free to try alternate methods of reporting (a talk page message like this, or contacting another admin you see online, etc), whatever works works :)

i need help, i killed the WoF but when i try to destroy Demon Alters with the Pwnhammer, it only hurts me
