The Administrators' Noticeboard is intended to be a page to quickly alert admins to issues that need their attention.

To make a request or statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals in the following section labeled for such reports at the top using {{IP|Username}}, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

Vandal reports

Please place new vandal reports at the top of this section.

There's not much point in blocking someone who makes a single edit and goes away. Toomai Glittershine The Riotous 11:53, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

*shrug* Minor one-time vandalism of a six-month-plus old archive. I don't think that's deserving of anything. Toomai Glittershine 10:08, 9 November 2010 (EST)

I suppose we have different views on how to handle vandalism then. Garo108 10:16, 9 November 2010 (EST)

Minor one-time vandalism. A block isn't needed imo. In addition, that can be a tournament, as the ip took the time to post his placing, whether or not it's true, and the *.--MegaTron1XD 23:55, 12 December 2010 (EST)

I'm not sure if that's vandalism. Smash tournaments can have some strange, nonsensical names. Omega Tyrant 23:56, 12 December 2010 (EST)

Home-run/Home-Run

Mobile phone pictures

"Home-run Contest" and "Home-run Bat" should be moved to Home-Run Contest and Home-Run Bat respectively (see right). Both need the redirects to be deleted or merged before the pages can be moved. - Reboot (talk) 01:39, 30 November 2010 (EST)

Dude what was that for. Absolutely pointless. BlindColours Thank you for reading my sig. 19:11, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Cat:Candidates for speedy deletion

Category:Candidates for speedy deletion is getting to the point that it needs cleared out. - Reboot (talk) 15:38, 28 December 2010 (EST)

How about now? *deep breath* Miles (talk) 16:08, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Now, you're done...with THAT batch ;) - Reboot (talk) 16:12, 28 December 2010 (EST)

:/ Miles (talk) 16:23, 28 December 2010 (EST)

I was handling these before, but due to my current internet situation, I'm unable to. When my situation stabilises, I'll be able to handle these again. But since they're just unused images, there's no need to rush their deletion. Omega Tyrant 17:24, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Leeching icon from Wikia

The "new posts" icon on Forum:Index is linked from here, on Wikia rather than this wiki, as I found out when I tried to upload a cleaned-up icon there. Can someone please deWikiafy it? - Reboot (talk) 18:23, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Additional: It's in MediaWiki:Common.css, and there's another image there - the checkerboard pattern that backgrounds transparent images (originally from Commons:File:Checker-16x16.png) is also hotlinked from Wikia. I've uploaded it to . - Reboot (talk) 18:42, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Both should be fixed now. If you're still seeing the old versions, refresh; if you still see them afterwards, post here. Miles (talk) 18:45, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Both fixed for me. - Reboot (talk) 18:50, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Page moves

Crawling

Can Crawling be moved to Crawl, please (there's a redirect which needs to be deleted to allow the move). - Reboot (talk) 19:55, 27 January 2011 (EST)

Why would such a move be necessary? Toomai Glittershine The Awesome 20:01, 27 January 2011 (EST)

As SmashWiki:Manual of Style#Article_titles states:

Titles should be nouns as opposed to verbs.

"Crawl" is a noun, "Crawling" is a present-tense verb. - Reboot (talk) 14:51, 30 January 2011 (EST)

"Crawling" is also a gerund, basically a verb that's being used as a noun. Toomai Glittershine The Undirigible 15:04, 30 January 2011 (EST)

Well, "Crawl" seemed more intuitive to me, but... *shrugs* - Reboot (talk) 15:11, 8 February 2011 (EST)

Team battle/Battle

Team battle -> Team Battle, as "Battle" is capitalised in the Team Healer trophy. - Reboot (talk) 15:11, 8 February 2011 (EST)

It's also the name of a mode, so done. Toomai Glittershine The Celeritous 17:42, 8 February 2011 (EST)

Camera [Mode]

Can Camera be moved to Camera Mode, please? I'd like to make a page on the in-battle camera at [[Camera]] (which is what most of the links that don't go to [[Camera Mode]] seem to expect...) - Reboot (talk) 15:17, 9 February 2011 (EST)

Delete

Please delete File:EarthboundNewAgeRetroHippie.gif (I uploaded that).--Wolf rulez! Playtime's over! 10:48, 6 May 2011 (EDT)

Bump.--Wolf rulez! The best! 14:10, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

Piratehunter

Quotes from IRC: "[19:18] <+pH-X> no one asked an autistic fucktard bipolar patient either :P".
"[19:24] <+pH-X> I THOUGHT YOU WERE ABOVE A .7 IQ [19:24] <+pH-X> but alas [19:24] <+pH-X> I am incorrect"
Stuff like this is why Piratehunter is banned on the wiki. He keeps violating SW:NPA with his flaming and trolling, and nothing is being done about it. Users are tired of having to deal with his nonsense when on IRC. May someone please ban him? DoctorPain99 22:22, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

He has been banned from the wiki, but something needs to be done on IRC about his consistant personal attacks. Mr. Anon (talk) 00:01, 16 June 2011 (EDT)

Um, bump? Mr. Anon (talk) 00:06, 18 June 2011 (EDT)

Look at this...

...and find a bunch of files that need a new name.--PSIWolf (T • C • E) 11:11, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Duplicate image

I uploaded the image Hell Hawk.jpg, but it wasn't uploaded due to some random error. Then I re-uploaded it and somehow two versions were uploaded. I would like one of the "versions" to be deleted. ^Smiddle 君怒る? 05:58, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Reverting war

Theres users that keep reverting my pictures. BlindColours and other users keep reverting my pictures. You need to block them indefinite immediately so block them NNOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandondorf9999 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

For making the text in your post that large and visually disrupting this page, you're going to be blocked. Also, don't request permabans, especially for simply reverting you. This is not how you handle your edits and uploads being reverted. Omega Tyrant 22:55, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Sidebar

So this one time at band camp, I wanted to edit the sidebar to make it less awful, but SmashWiki doesn't have the right MediaWiki extension to allow users to have a user-specific personalized sidebar. Can we fix this, plz? PenguinofDeath 16:03, 17 October 2011 (EDT)

This is what we want, by the way. PenguinofDeath 17:08, 17 October 2011 (EDT)

Ban evasion

SmashPeter appears to be evading his ban through his IP. Mr. Anontalk 13:16, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
