Forum:Old Halo.wikia

The halo.wikia site has been under attack by frequent vandalism. Maybe the whole site should be locked down because its just out of control there.--Ender the Xenocide 19:25, 6 December 2010 (EST)


 * It's been attacked only slightly more than Halopedian.com is, actually. Wikia doesn't like locking wikis - the only example I know of where they did lock one was when a wiki about users who are members of some Mario wiki was emptied of its community when it moved. Halo.wikia still gets lots of visitors, and so wouldn't be locked. If you are concerned for its wellbeing, have you considered adoption?-- Forerunner 19:59, 6 December 2010 (EST)


 * Are you talking about the Adopt-a-user program?-- Spartan-0093 [[Image:Mobassa_ODST.jpg‎|14px]] ( Comm Channel 0-93 ) 21:09, 6 December 2010 (EST)


 * No, adopt-a-wiki. I don't know if that's the name, but basically Wikia allows members to request to "adopt" a non-used wiki if it deems it neccessary. Old sites that got abandoned, or just dropped off in viewer traffic, that kind of thing. If it does get adopted, I'd like to see it rebranded - I'm sure nobody here opposes a little competition, but I'd like there to be only one Halopedia, and that is us. Halo Wiki would be fine. --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   05:02, 11 December 2010 (EST)


 * Just a thought, why not let HF move to Halo.Wikia? ;) -  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 11:14, 11 December 2010 (EST)
 * We've requested wikia staff to rename the wiki to "Halo Wiki". As for adopting, the wiki is not eligible, as it has to be completely inactive; traffic, admin and user-wise. I certainly don't see that happening anytime soon. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 11:21, 11 December 2010 (EST)

= A bit off topic but... = Did the old halo.wiki usernames and such get transferred over here, or do I need a new account?


 * Your username, password, contributions, and most of your points have been transferred over. All you have to do is sign in as if you were at the the old halo.wiki. You will have to fill in your userpage, but most of everything else has been transferred. -- Spartan-0093 [[Image:Mobassa_ODST.jpg‎|14px]] ( Comm Channel 0-93 ) 13:06, 23 January 2011 (EST)

Mine didn't. I still get the emails from teh old one saying 'Dear Halo&CoD...' but when i checked the page that lists users mine wasn't there and i still can't login 99.110.237.249 21:48, 25 January 2011 (EST)

That's weird. It worked fine for me and most of the people that have come over. Try letting one of the administrators know about it. It could be just a bug or a site malfunction. -- Spartan-0093  ( Comm Channel 0-93 ) 22:05, 25 January 2011 (EST)

Register a new account with the exact same username and the edits will transfer. -- 00:03, 26 January 2011 (EST)
