Your recent wiki request

Hi there! My name is Dusti, I'm one of the Stewards here on Orain! I created your wiki as you requested, however, in order for your local rights to be granted, you'll have to log in to your wiki locally. Please don't try to create a new account on your wiki as your log in credentials that you use here will also work on your wiki. If you have any questions, please let me know! Cheers, Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 19:06, 25 August 2014 (BST)

Thank you

Thank you for all your help with creating wikis for me at Orain, you are a very good wiki farm and you manage to host many wikis while avoiding the commercial, profit-oriented traps that often go over wiki farms. Tau Ceti (talk) 06:21, 18 October 2014 (BST)

New wiki farm

I've started one since I had trouble getting customizations done and I could possibly set up wikis for you. Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Malleus 04:38, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

What's it called, and can I help you with anything? --Tau Ceti (talk) 07:52, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

Here's the meta wiki and list of wikis: http://community.rs.pe/wiki/List_of_wikis Global sysops who can help patrol the farm are welcome. Just be very conservative about blocking users. Let me know if there are any wikis there that you are interested in. I'm also experimenting with the Foreground skin. Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Malleus 08:27, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

Yes, I could be a global sysop and help the users of Krasnaya Security, but there are two slightly-annoying things:

1. I don't like banner ads and I think they should be removed. Banner ads are a distraction from the content of the wiki.

2. The Foreground skin doesn't look very nice to me and is confusing to navigate. I think we should stick to Vector.

Tau Ceti (talk) 08:50, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

I've changed it back to Vector since I think that the new skin could create more problems than it solves. I wanted something that would look different from Wikipedia, but I feel that could open a bigger can of worms with design issues and ensuring compatibility in appearance for Vector users. Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Malleus 08:59, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

As for the banner ads? Tau Ceti (talk) 09:03, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

I took away the one on the top and I'm going to ask Marcus if he can add smaller ones to our AdSense channel. Maybe two small ads at the bottom should be ok. Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Malleus 09:06, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

To be honest, I'd prefer no ads at all! If you need the money, then you can open to accept donations. Tau Ceti (talk) 09:08, 15 January 2015 (GMT)

Right.orain.org is annoying...

I wasn't even to contribute there; I just got blocked as a 'security' measure. Help! Tau Ceti (talk) 23:59, 20 January 2015 (GMT)

You now have the Global sysop bit

Use the tools wisely. Please read Global sysops and familiarize yourself with our global policies. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 05:00, 23 January 2015 (GMT)

Advertising to other farms

I understand your need to help, however, there is a very specific reason that user was banned from Orain. I will not go into details on wiki, however, if you wish to email me I'd be more than happy to discuss that with you. Dusti^{*Let's talk!*} 18:11, 23 January 2015 (GMT)

So is that like... spam or something>? Tau Ceti (talk) 23:22, 23 January 2015 (GMT)

Welcome? I think you realise I've been on the wiki since July 2014 and am a global sysop. Tau Ceti (talk) 08:12, 15 March 2015 (GMT)

It is a generic message that is automatically generated on click when a wikicreator creates a wiki. It is simply to let you know that your wiki has been created. Generally, only new users request wikis. I'm not sure what's going on, but you need to get off of your high horse. I've noticed it a lot lately, and frankly, it's getting old. You are a global sysop, yes. Cyberpower is a wiki creator. You both deserve respect and should give it to each other and everyone else you encounter. I think your comment to cyberpower was completely uncalled for and quite frankly, rude. -- Joe G. (Talk) 16:59, 15 March 2015 (GMT)

Sorry for being rude. It was a joke. Tau Ceti (talk) 22:06, 15 March 2015 (GMT)

New message

Hey! You have a new message at Stewards'_noticeboard#BlueNosy. I wouldn't normally send this note but some of the noticeboards have recently been moved around! ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 23:05, 3 April 2015 (BST)

Retirement

Hey Tao Ceti!
As one of few global sysops, I'm sad to hear of your retirement, but I understand we all get busy with certain things and can't dedicate time to certain projects. I myself am new but I hope you at least partly stick around Orain. Cheers, NDKilla (talk) 13:22, 4 April 2015 (BST)

Right. I'm sorry guys. Tau Ceti (talk) 23:17, 4 April 2015 (BST)
