Chat Policy Typo
Hey Ðe C@ Master, just wanted to run this by you right quick. There's a typo on the Roleplaying section of the Chat rules. The statement "Roleplay is defined as pretending to be a character from some form of media, a made of identity, or typing out all of your actions." should have "a made up identity" and not what it currently says. I asked Shawn, who wrote the chat rules for the community to vote on a while back, and he confirmed the typo for me. If you get a moment, please correct it. Sorry this is so minor. Thanks C@.

Orphaned pages
Hello, I just cleared the Orphaned pages except for the Drillmaster disambiguation page. It contains 2 articles for the Morrowind and Oblivion, but both of them are redirects, so there is no way to add template. I'm leaving it for the staff to decide where to link it from. --Rupuzioks (talk) 13:50, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Anon
Yeah, that was me. Wikia was going ballistic for some reason and labeled me as signed out when I submitted it. Usual weird bugs. Thanks for mentioning it though The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 23:35, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

Slack
Hey quick question. Is slack only staff member exclusive, or is it open to all users? Starkiller131 (talk) 00:02, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Random tip
Hey Cat, saw you working on protection stuff from the moot yesterday. Since you're batching a bunch of pages, I'd recommend you may want to take a look at this, if you haven't seen it. I believe it will save you a ton of time. It's a JavaScript tool that can take a list of pages (Or in our case, categories) and can mark them as auto-confirmed edit only. The list should go by way faster than doing them by hand. Hope this helps The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 14:11, September 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't like to leave a second message before you even reply, but I think it's worth it in this case. I realized I can easily generate a list for you using AWB. The list will be found here. You can just copy/paste it into the JavaScript tool and it should be able to get every category that's connected to Category:Browse (which should be everything). Should make the job super easy if it works correctly. The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 14:43, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Recent Ban
Hello, Cat Master. Hope all is well in the world of wikia, but I was recently notified that Tim has received a month-long ban regarding his linking to a Discord account, which apparently amounts to harrasement  (at least, that's what he's told me). According to him, Kora has done the same thing with little trouble, so in the spirit of fairness, I wanted to get to the bottom of this and see what can be done on their behalf. I would like to hear the full story and, if possible, see our policies about linking to things like the Discord chat.

I know Tim has been in spots of trouble lately, but I don't want us to devolve into harsher punishments because we've been getting fed up or something.

I appreciate your response. As always, stay mad.

 * Tim abused his admin powers *after* agreeing to step down (but he kept his bcrat rights). Then he decided to slander the wiki and its editors multiple times wherever he could. This has continued for weeks. Then he decided to promote a different wiki on ours (both in mainspace and /d). It's not about "linking to Discord chat", and anyways it's blatantly obvious that he was interested in helping the wiki after his repeated tantrums. Also, Cat's response wasn't as harsh as what others were pushing for. It's not like he just decided to ban Tim on a whim. --Shockstorm (talk) 00:09, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
