StarForge Wiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:
 * This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post discussions on the talk page.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
 * For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene. If a user must be reported here, please use user, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Requesting renaming of Penetrator to Monolithium Drill
Penetrator needs to be renamed. Due to recent game changes in 0.7.5, it is no longer the Penetrator but the Monolithium Drill.

Cannot petition for deletion
I did read the "before posting" section but I fail to find a delete button on top of pages. I'm assuming they removed/hid it from new users or something similar. So here we go, petition to delete the page Doors, I accidentally created it trying to create a sub-category for Doors. (I then created said sub-category)

EDIT: (alright ignore this, i'm an idiot, because there was a button in the instructions I assumed I was looking for the button, I added the appropriate line of wikitext to the top of the page)

Also, what is the preferred icon format for items? (size, background colors/alpha) - Brennen315


 * Only administrators have permission to delete pages to prevent problems (I am currently filling in as temporary Admin as the current Community Manager (RighClick) is busy). I've deleted the page as you've requested.


 * As for images there is no strict rules, at least none that I am enforcing. However I believe for in-game screenshots at least, they should be 1280x720 JPG images. In regards to the alpha transparency, I assume your referring to craftable item icons, ideally I want to use the ones from the game files (In the past the previous Community Manager provide come of them so they could be used). Until the RightClick starts working on the wiki, just use cropped screenshots, when he does hopefully he will be willing to upload the new item icons to replace them.
