Re: New theme
Hi, Seth! I saw MinorStoops request because of the orange colour for the admins. You can change them here:  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  15:25, June 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki:Recentchangestext.


 * Oh, I understand. That you find here:
 * MediaWiki:Wikia.css


 * Begins with: /* Recent Change Colors For User Groups

When adding new users put them in alpha order */ /* BUREAUCRATS */


 *  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  18:06, June 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, that I didn't know. It does not change anything when you change this colour line?
 * { font-weight: bold !important; color:#800080 !important; }
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 07:21, July 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think I now know why that doesn't work with the admin colour. When I look in the MediaWiki:Wikia.css of my wiki there is this code:


 * /* Color admin links differently (Orange) */
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"] {
 * font-weight: bold;
 * color:#FF7F00;
 * }


 * This code I don't find here. Perhaps anymore? Perhaps it works when you change orange to purple and #FF7F00 to purple and then put this code onto this MediaWiki-page here.
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 17:11, July 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, everywhere you could read my name these lines must repeated with the names of all the admins. Here an example of Hunnie Bunn's Potter Dictionary Wiki:


 * /* Color admin links differently (Orange) */
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Alyncia"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Alyncia"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Alyncia"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Hunnie Bunn"] {
 * font-weight: bold;
 * color:#FF7F00;
 * }
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 17:43, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

When you look here: Special.CSS Potter Dictionary Wiki you can see that user names with two names are written this way:


 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Hunnie_Bunn"]


 * First line: Without this sign: _ Example: Harry granger
 * Second line: Without this sign: _ Example: Harry granger
 * Third line: With this sign: _ Example:Harry_granger

When you look at the lines in your css they are written:

All three with the sign: _

I suggest that's the problem. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 12:11, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Harry Potter Food Fiction
Hey, Rick! Thanks again for helping us promote the wikia spiff stuff. I'm reaching out to you again because we were hoping to do a Harry Potter food fiction this month! Examples of food fiction we've done on other wikias can be found here: Recipes Wiki. We generally have submission blogs on the respective wikia and then a voting blog after the submissions period! The categories we have in mind are


 * Hogwart's Main Dishes
 * Desserts
 * Drinks
 * Favorite Jokeshop Treats (Zonkos, Honeydukes)
 * Magical Delights (potions or magical foods)

Is there an alternative category that you or any admin think would be better than one of the categories above? Something we've done before is like on Adventure Time we had a category for people good enough to eat since there are characters in the Candy Kingdom. Let me know what you think and if it would be alright for us to host the program here and promote it on the main page! Grace (profile)•(talk) 19:25, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome! I also love those other categories :D I guess what we will do now for categories (since this is for Harry Potter's birthday bash) is the following:
 * Locale for Party
 * "Host" of the Party
 * Hogwart's Main Dishes
 * Desserts
 * Drinks
 * Favorite Jokeshop Treats (Zonkos, Honeydukes)
 * Magical Delights (potions or magical foods)

And then "Grossest Food" sounds kind of fun so maybe we'll throw that in. I'll keep you updated! Grace (profile)•(talk) 21:02, July 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello! The Food Fiction blog is up :D Click here to check it out! Could you help us promote it on this wikia too? Also, would you mind if we put the banner that is on the blog on the Harry Potter character page so more people will know we're doing programming for his birthday? Let me know, thanks!

Audio clips/Quidditch matches
I had a look on the audio clip forum and it seems that there are no objections so far. Do you know how to add the feature?

Also, I´ve thought about qudditch match articles and infoboxes again and think that it would be best to start creatinmg them after the 2014 QWC is over. What do you think?

Rodolphus (talk) 10:20, July 7, 2014 (UTC)

Have you thoght about it? Rodolphus (talk) 13:42, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Do you know how to upload audio clips? Perhaps you could have a look on the forum. Thank you.

Oh, forgot to sign this one. Rodolphus (talk) 21:27, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Audio clips could also be useful for incantations.--Rodolphus (talk) 15:01, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

Wikia's Comic-Con Team
Hey, Rick! Sorry to bother you again, but I'm sure you already saw that one of our Wikia staff members posted this blog asking for Wikians going to the San Diego Comic-Con to be a part of our Wikia team! We are hoping to get a bunch of people involved so I was wondering if we could add it somewhere on the main page or link to it from the Community Messages section? Let me know what you think, thanks! Grace (profile)•(talk) 19:57, July 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Great! I'll add it to News and Community Section then. Thanks for responding so quickly :D Grace (profile)•(talk) 20:54, July 8, 2014 (UTC)

Template:Daily Prophet individual infobox
Hi, Seth! Something is wrong with this above mentioned template. It seems to be the signature which breaks the template. Examples: Rita Skeeter and Ginevra Weasley. In the article of Bozo the template works correct. Perhaps you can have a look on it. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 15:38, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * What's going on here? The Template:Gryffindor individual infobox is also broken? It seems all infobox templates with signature are broken. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;">Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;">  15:43, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * When you look on the lion at the bottom of my user page you can see the file looks strange as the files of the signatures do. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 15:52, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you. I now know that it was a bug because Community Central has made an update and then it happened and is already fixed.

New question
In Pottermore - New from J.K. Rowling: Daily Prophet ("Dumbledore's Army Returns", 8 July 2014) was mentioned from Rita Skeeter that Hannah Longbottom has retrained as a healer. Shall we put Healer in the infobox as second job? And Hermione Granger is called Granger despite her marriage. In the infobox you can read Hermione Jean Weasley, née Granger. But is that really correct when she is already called Granger in 2014? <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 14:39, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just to add on to what Harry granger said about Hermione, actor's comments have been taken as canon before and Emma Watson specifically says Hermione kept her name; Rowling does not contradict her. Hunnie Bunn (talk) 12:49, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hi Seth Cooper!

I'm reaching out today to see if it's okay if we set up a "Parent Page" on the Harry Potter Wiki. Also, if you are okay with it, do you and the other admins have any interest in helping us fill it out?

Here is a Parent Page example from The Hunger Games Wiki to give you an idea of what the page entails. Essentially, it's a guide for parents about the age range for different wikis.

Let me know if you have any questions! We are planning to start setting up the pages over the next week or so. Thanks so much!

Best, Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 23:02, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Two things.
One: we should put a notice on the front page that Krum was victorious in the Quidditch World Cup?! (YAY! I AM CRYING! THERE ARE TEARS AND ME SQUEALING AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN PUNCHING THE AIR AND SCREAMING AND EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!)

Two: Can we, after the July 8th article, state that Teddy is a half-werewolf half metamorphmagus? I know Skeeter stated it, but J.K. Rowling wrote the article for Pottermore. Thus, that makes it the highest tier of canon; Teddy is a half-werewolf half Metamorphmagus. Shall I add it? It is, technically, canon. HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 20:54, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, put that in. HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 23:44, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

I'd assume Rita is correct - Ginny doesn't hex her for calling Teddy a werewolf... but does hex her for the other things. By that logic - Ginny hexing for saying things against her family, but not against Teddy - implies that Teddy is half-werewolf, half Metamorphmagus. HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 12:13, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Wizarding schools
Hi.

Watching the walkthrough I mentioned above, I noticed that several wizarding schools are mentioned:


 * A Russian wizarding school (Can you understand the name? I hear it as "Coldoseras")
 * An african wizarding school. Unfortunately, I couldn´t understand the name and where in Africa it is located.
 * The Japanse school we already knew of is also shown.

Can you create articles on those schools? Maybe we should create articles about each individual champion?

Also, what about crating articles on the potions championship comentator and the unidentified Hogwarts librarian at the start of the game?

Rodolphus (talk) 13:26, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Can you understand where the African school is located? I think the commentator says something like hailing from ... in Africa. Rodolphus (talk) 22:25, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Of course.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6W3FZULBtU&list=PLu-YMfPspAuGcYXaC2J1A2gb-0Zp34GI3&index=18

It´s at minute 1:45. Personally, I understand it as "Weikedu School of Magic" from somewehere in Afriva. What do you think? Perhaps yoz could also help me taking images of the champions. Rodolphus (talk) 23:00, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Can you help me taking an image of the champions? They are never in full view, I´m afraid.


 * Japansese champion: Part 2, 1st minute
 * Russian champion: part 3, 27th minute
 * African champion: part 5 27th minute

I´ve also created a uniforms category. Unfortunately, I don´t know the right words to describe some pieces of clothing. Perhaps you could help me. There are also other zniforms that we could create an article on.

Here is a complete list:


 * Mahoutocoro uniform
 * Russian uiform
 * African unifom

These articles would use a BTS section stating that it´s unknown if this is the general school uniform or if it was only used for the championship.


 * Smeltings uniform
 * St.-Mungo uniform
 * Durmstrang uniform (already created, but needs a good image. Any ideas?
 * Beauxbatons uniform (calready created and image added, but maybe yould expand it and add a quote.

Thank you for helping me and for writing great articles. Rodolphus (talk) 18:10, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

What are the chances of the Houe Points Game being restarted? I think it's really fun, but now that it's been discontinued, well I guess I'm just kind of disappointed. Allsevenbooks (talk) 03:54, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

House Points
What are the chances of the Houe Points Game being restarted? I think it's really fun, but now that it's been discontinued, well I guess I'm just kind of disappointed. Allsevenbooks (talk) 03:55, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Marital status/actor comments
Firstly, I wondered if the fact that a female adult character does not wear a wedding ring could be a basis for adding perhaps a BTS note or a "Unmarried (possibly)" in the infobox for that character. Dolores Umbridge and Rita Skeeter are the first ones that come to mind not wearing rings, and neither one is mentioned to have a husband (both characters are so despicable that it wouldn't surprise me if they're unmarried). That would, of course, be only a possibly if anything.

Secondly, I noticed that on this page, actor's comments were considered canon with the length and history of the wand; why, then, can Watson's comments on Hermione's name and marital status not be considered canon? (I know Hermione's page has already been changed to reflect her maiden name, but I wanted to get the canon policy figured out). Thanks! Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:48, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Minerva McGonagall was married but did not take the name of her husband. So it could be that Rita Skeeter and Dolores Umbridge are married, too, but did not take the name of their husband. There's no certainty.

On the other hand they could also be widowed or divorced and the name is not their maiden name.

Last but not least, not all people wear a ring.

Setting things up
Awesome Seth, thanks so much! I will probably set it up sometime tomorrow so I'll send you a link to the Parent Page. P.S. per your conversation with Gcheung28, I posted our Harry Potter Food Fiction in the mainpage featured article section. I didn't touch the Featured Article template, so you can easily switch it back when the contest is done :) Thanks so much! Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 16:46, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Translation of articles
Hi, Seth!

As I once told you I am admin and now also bureaucrat on the German Harry-Potter-Lexikon. As I saw on other wikis in other languages there are articles who were only translated from articles which are created on this wiki.

I wanted to ask now if that's okay for you and if the German Harry-Potter-Lexikon may do so, too.

It's okay when you say No, but I thought I try and ask. In advance of your answer

Hey there! The template for the Harry Potter Parent Page is set up. Let me know if you have ANY questions. Here is an example book parent page for The Fault in Our Stars as a simple guide. Feel free to make the parent page as short or long as you decide! Thanks Rick! I'm happy to help you fill out anything as well. Best, Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 23:26, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Hi Seth! Sorry to keep messaging you! We were wondering if you could do us a favor with promoting our Food Fiction blog with a community wide message?

Block request
The user has been messing with the Template:Harrypotter page by replacing the links with external links to Youtube to which I had to revert though I don't know if I got all of it with my revert.

Shadow of Mordor versus tournament
Hi Seth Cooper! I'm Mark, from Wikia's Community Development Team.

I'm reaching out to see if your community would like to be a part of a versus tournament we're hosting on the Shadow of Mordor wikia. It would go live in September, and we would be pitting Harry Potter against Celebrimbor from Shadow of Mordor. The voting would live in a blog on Shadow of Mordor and we would post a button on Harry Potter's page here encouraging your community to vote for them. On the voting blog we would link back to your wikia, and we'll be promoting the tournament around Wikia. If your community would like to be a part of the tournament, which would include the button on Harry Potter's page as well as a link back to your community from the voting blog, please let me know by 8/29.

Thank you! Mark ( talk ) 22:10, August 25, 2014 (UTC)

Mud Bloods Documentary Q&A
Hey there Seth! We're in contact with the creators of the Mud Blood documentary (http://www.mudbloodsmovie.com/) and we were wondering if you'd like to do a Q&A with them. We'd need to get this out pretty quick since the release date is next week.

I think what we'd do is post a blog asking for community questions from the community and the creators can answer them and we'll repost.

Here's an example of our Maze Runner Q&A with James Dashner:

http://bookshub.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Asnow89/James_Dashner_Answered_YOUR_Questions

Would you mind if we get that blog posted today or tomorrow?

Hey Seth! The post is up! Would you mind if we get this promoted on the main page? We can replace the Harry Potter Birthday banner. Would you mind if we did a Community Message as well?

Thanks so much!

Hey Seth! We're going to go ahead and replace the Q&A Mudbloods film banner on the front page where the Birthday banner is and maybe send out a Community message today. I hope that's ok with you! Happy Monday!

Mudbloods Q&A
Hey, Rick! Like Jamie mentioned above, we have a Q&A opportunity with the "Mudbloods" director and some things to give away! I switched out the featured article on the main page (it was pretty old anyway), and was hoping to send out a Community Message to get more eyes on it. Feel free to enter! There's no location restriction on this one and one of the prizes is a download code for the documentary, which looks kind of interesting :) Grace (profile)•(talk) 18:46, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

Themes
Hiya Seth! Long time, no talk (or write :p)!

I wasn't sure, first off, whether to message you or make a blog post/forum, and secondly, whether it was a good idea at all. So I figured I might as well ask you first before doing anything else. But I remember last Hallowe'en (or one of them) where (I'm pretty sure) we did up the wiki's theme for the event and then changed it back afterwards. I was wondering whether the general community was interested in doing something like that again this year. First I thought I would get your opinion on the matter - especially since I'm not sure how easily undone themes are, and the theme we have now is admittedly rather cool.

Sorry for such the long message! Cheers! Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:01, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Hi, this is Lucretia. I've been editing the Wizarding Nations pages and things were alright, but then I started editing the Gellert Grindelwald page and something went wrong. Please have a look.

I still see a few invalid references at the bottom of the Gellert Grindelwald page, thought you ought to know.

Just noticed something
The navigation tabs at the top of the screen have changed. The "Books"/"Films"/"Characters" tabs we had before are gone, and now it's just "Popular Pages". What's more, I'd had a couple of pages still open from earlier today (at around 13:30) on other tabs on my browser in order to follow up on some previous edits, and those still show the old navigation tabs, but I don't see any recent changes to any of the MediaWiki functions since then.

Just a heads-up
There's been a persistent vandal who keeps replacing images with a picture of a ceiling fan (most frequently hitting File:Dhharryroomhighreso.jpg and File:Albus_Dumbledore_(HBP_promo)_3.jpg). They've used at least 6 accounts so far:, , , , , and. I've banned all 6, but they keep getting around it, so I've reported them to VSTF. In the meantime, keep an eye on new user accounts and image uploads. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 01:24, November 25, 2014 (UTC)

Some of the portrait images you uploaded last year are appearing upside-down for some reason. I tried saving and reploading one of them, but it still came out upside down. I've uploaded lower-quality alternates of the ones I've found so far as a temporary fix.

Re:Canon
Hi, Rick. I had actually read the wiki canon policy. The problem is that some characters appeared in the films/video games can't be considered because contradict the book, such as Fay Dunbar and her friend. Boy 2 can't be considered canon, because we know there are only 5 boys in Harry's year (Harry, Ron, Neville, Seamus and Dean). I hope you understood :)

GianG (talk) 20:15, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

I know what J. K. Rowling said on Pottermore. However the numbers are not her strong point, as stated by her.

Her comment contradicts evidence from the book.

In Harry Potter and the Phylosoper Stone, the joint Gryffindor/Slytherin class included 20 students.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the joint Gryffindor/Hufflepuff class included 20 students.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Gryffindor class included 10 students: 5 boys (Harry, Ron, Neville, Dean and Seamus) and 5 girls (Hermione, Calì and three unidentified girls). One of the three unidentified girls is Lavanda Brown.

Basing on the book, we know there are: Finally, I want to say that JKR initially thought that Harry's class included around 40 students, but after the writing of the books she thought 40 students per class didn't join her idea of Hogwarts, but the books are the books...
 * 10 Gryffindors (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Dean, Seamus, Calì, Lavanda and two unidentified girls).
 * 10 Slytherins
 * 10 Hufflepuffs
 * Unknown number of Ravenclaws. There are at leats 6 Ravenclaws (Padma, Terry, Michael, Anthony, Mandy and Lisa). It can be assumed there are actually ABOUT 10 Ravenclaws.

Sorry to bother you, but the page Salazar Slytherin's locket needs an admin to rename it (to "Slytherin's Locket" as per the talk page), and as you're the most recently active administrator (as well as one of the coolest active admins if I do say so), I was wondering whether you might please be able to initiate the change.

Useless pages
Hi, Rick. I noted that in the wiki there are two useless pages: Unidentified Hufflepuff boy and Unidentified Hufflepuff girl (II).

The two pages are referred to the missing Hufflepuff male and the missing Hufflepuff female in Harry's year. But these pages are useless for two reasons: I hope you'll be able to delete these two pages. Thanks. GianG (talk) 11:04, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Both the missing Hufflepuffs males and females are two. Zacharias Smith was never mentioned to be in Harry's year and it is not confirmed Leanne was in Harry's year in the novels.
 * The four missing Hufflepuffs are in the classslist, so they already have their own pages.


 * Thank you. And Marry Christmas to you, too! :)

Sophie Roper, Runcorn and Sally Smith
Zooming the picture with paint, we can really find the houses of the students.

The letters "G" and "S" can't be confused, while "H" and "R" got easily mixed up. Looking at Roger Malone's letter, we can understan he is either in Ravenclaw or in Hufflepuff.

Looking at Madhari and Mati Patil, we can note Mati is a Gryffindor, while Madhari is in either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff (she is actually a Ravenclaw).

Then I went to analyze Sophie Roper's, Runcorn's and Sally Smith's houses. Runcorn's letter seems more "H" than "R" and we also know she can't be in Ravenclaw. Looking very well at Sophie's and Sally's letters, we can deduce they are both "G".

GianG (talk) 17:07, December 26, 2014 (UTC)

Please at least try to zoom the picture (at 300 %). The letters can be seen if you zoom, because they had been badly overshawed.

Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom
The page state this: "The office used by the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardy is located on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle . It is connected to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom by a small stairway."

Then Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom page said: "Classroom 3C is where Defence Against the Dark Arts class is taught. It is located on the third floor. In 1991, Professor Quirinus Quirrell taught in a different classroom because the Third Floor Corridor was out of bounds."

The office is located on the second floor and the classroom is located on the third floor. How is it possible the office is connected to the classsroom by a small stairway?

Since this doesn't directly contradicts the books, we should put the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on the second floor, or maybe (because Quirrel taught in another classroom, probably because it was on the third floor), we should mention this as an incongruence in the "Behind the scenes" section.

User Jdogno7
I want to formally alert you that you currently have a known wiki troll using your site to annoy and inconvenience your community. He likes to disguise his behavior by claiming that he simply "disagrees" with others, but a perusal of his history will show that he routinely replaces correct grammar with incorrect grammar, performs mass-edits of wikis when his changes are either non-canonical or unwarranted, and regularly engages in edit wars. Furthermore, he steadfastly refuses to compromise with site administrators, and has been blocked from several other wikis for his behavior, for harassing other users, and for hostility.

In the interest of saving you time and preventing you from having to do extensive research on your own, I've compiled evidence of his behavior from other wikis. You can see for yourself the problems he's caused here simply by checking his talk page as well as his contribution history.

User: Jdogno7

I speak to LuciaMoore:

"I want to formally alert you that you currently have a known wiki troll using your site to annoy and inconvenience your community.": "...a known wiki troll using your site to annoy and inconvenience your community.", I am not a troll of any kind. I do not use any site to annoy and inconvenience any person.

"He likes to disguise his behavior by claiming that he simply "disagrees" with others, but a perusal of his history will show that he routinely replaces correct grammar with incorrect grammar, performs mass-edits of wikis when his changes are either non-canonical or unwarranted, and regularly engages in edit wars.": "He likes to disguise his behavior by claiming that he simply "disagrees" with others,...", I am not disguising any behavior. I did have a legitimate disagreement with others. Sometimes people disagree on a matter. "...but a perusal of his history will show that he routinely replaces correct grammar with incorrect grammar,...", So I might have a different view from others on correct grammar. There is not a single view on correct grammar in any language (certainly English). "...performs mass-edits of wikis when his changes are either non-canonical or unwarranted...": An example of where I made a change that was "non-canonical or unwarranted"? "and regularly engages in edit wars.": With who? What wiki was it? Where on the wiki? When did it occur?

"Furthermore, he steadfastly refuses to compromise with site administrators, and has been blocked from several other wikis for his behavior, for harassing other users, and for hostility.": That is not true, I am willing to compromise with site administrators. Harassing other users? Which users? Hostility? How have I been hostile?

 * Wookiepedia (Star Wars Wiki) for one year for vandalism and disruption due to behavior similar to that already listed. ( Link])
 * Scoobypedia for one year for (in the admin's words) being a nuisance. Further investigation shows the same behavior that got him blocked from the other wikis. (Link)

Mind you, that's just what I was able to find within 10 minutes by searching Google for "Jdogno7 wiki." This list doesn't include the numerous wikis where he has received multiple warnings but hasn't been blocked yet, including this one.

Finally, when he learned the identity of one of your community members that spoke against him over at the Hercules & Xena wiki, he went to their talk page here and warned them to back off. Here's a link to that page: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:MinorStoop

Obviously, what you do with your wiki is your own business, however after having the misfortune of dealing with this user over the past week, I felt that the full light of his antics should be expressed completely to an admin for your wiki, as this seems to be one of the wikis where he is highly active, and one where he has stirred the pot more than most and not yet been blocked. Hopefully, you'll find a way to deal with him appropriately. LuciaMoore (talk) 01:31, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

I speak to LuciaMoore directly and to Seth Cooper indirectly (I merely wish to explain my side of the story, which has not been told yet). " "

 * First of all, I have not received an indefinite ban from the Disney wiki. Second of all, the ban on Wookiepedia is only for one month not one year.

Third, going into the individual cases:


 * Digimon wiki: I was not having constant edit wars, on many occasions I tried to ask what was wrong and there were many times when nobody would explain so. I was not using other people's talk pages to ask non-wiki related questions, I was trying to clarify the official perspective on certain details, so that I would not state them incorrectly.


 * Xenaverse wiki: What edit war? Yes, some pages may have been altered back and forth over the course of 4-5 days (April 13-16/17) by us (with a new point made each time) but after that I took it to the talk page to discuss before further changes were made on my part to those articles (April 17/18-21). I spent the last four days before my block discussing the dispute rather than continue to edit back and forth on those respective pages (those edited on from April 13-16). How was I harassing others via talk pages?


 * Smallville wiki: I was not hostile towards other users. I merely disagreed with them on a matter. That does not make me hostile.


 * Dragon Ball wiki: I was not hostile towards other users. I merely disagreed with them on a matter. That does not make me hostile.


 * Disney wiki: I was not hostile. There were disagreements. The first topic of dispute, I have accepted to have been in the wrong. The latest one, however, I still stand by my view. There is a difference between refusal to comply with Admin requests and refusal to agree with their viewpoint.


 * DC wiki: I was not hostile. I may have disagreed with others' views. There is a difference between refusal to comply with Admin requests and refusal to agree with their viewpoint.


 * Wookiepedia (Star Wars Wiki): I didn't vandalise anything. I may have made some incorrect changes (which I did not realize to be at the time) but I was not disruptive.


 * Scoobypedia: The admin refused to explain what was wrong with things that I had done.

"Finally, when he learned the identity of one of your community members that spoke against him over at the Hercules & Xena wiki, he went to their talk page here and warned them to back off. Here's a link to that page: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:MinorStoop": Well why did MinorStoop even get involved? He was not an editor on the Xenaverse wiki beforehand. The dispute was not even between him and I for one thing. Why did he choose to hide himself even? I told him to back off because he was being harassing in his behavior to me.

"Obviously, what you do with your wiki is your own business, however after having the misfortune of dealing with this user over the past week, I felt that the full light of his antics should be expressed completely to an admin for your wiki, as this seems to be one of the wikis where he is highly active, and one where he has stirred the pot more than most and not yet been blocked. Hopefully, you'll find a way to deal with him appropriately.": "...however after having the misfortune of dealing with this user over the past week,...": I can't say that my interaction with you remained anything akin to pleasant after no more than four days to tell the truth. "...I felt that the full light of his antics should be expressed completely to an admin for your wiki, as this seems to be one of the wikis where he is highly active,...": What made you feel that it was your right to badmouth me to anyone? "and one where he has stirred the pot more than most and not yet been blocked.": So I am a criminal for not agreeing with everyone?

First floor girls' lavatory
The page Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom was recently moved to "first floor girls' lavatory", contrary to an official decision on the matter.

Hi there Seth! I was told to tell you that Grace sent me. I’m Andrew, one of the community managers at Wikia. If you don’t know me, here’s my CC profile. I like baseball, laying on the beach with no plans or goals for the day, and climbing things.

We have a new beta project out, and since it's going to be critical to Wikia's future, we're asking for your help.

We want to partner with your community (and a couple others) and collaborate on a redesign of your existing infoboxes. It’s not a small task, but it’s one that we think we can get done relatively quickly and efficiently. Our engineers - both here in San Francisco and in Poland - will get hands-on with your community and work with your team to redesign the infoboxes.

You can read more here in the forum (and head to the sandbox to give it a whirl), but the tl:dr version: our current infobox structure translates very poorly to mobile experiences, and mobile is where Wikia’s growth lies. We came up with a solution that will take a bit of effort, but will pay significant dividends in the near future. What we're hoping is that we can use this community to test out its strengths and limitations while we get it from “beta” to “full feature”.

What you get out of the deal:


 * Wikia engineers who will work directly with your community to update the code that underpins your infoboxes
 * Access to staff for feedback, and our promise that your ideas will be taken seriously
 * A head-start on this change and therefore a significant upgrade in your community’s visibility

What we get out of the deal:


 * Several fresh sets of eyes that can help us understand how this will be used by the average Wikian
 * A test community that will let us track how the new infobox structure is used by visitors and viewers
 * The opportunity to share this initiative’s successes (and failures, I’m sure!) with the wider Wikia community and show them that it’s a smart plan for our shared mobile future

Please talk this over with your admin team and let me know. I’m happy to answer any and all questions about this - please use my wall or just keep the conversation going here.

HP Wiki's Main Page
Hey, hey! With all the casting buzz starting for Fantastic Beasts, I noticed that the main page on Harry Potter hasn't been touched in a while (the featured article is for a Halloween thing from last year). Is there usually anyone (like an admin) that edits that page in particular? I think more people will be visiting the wikia as more news comes out about Fantastic Beasts or even random stuff like that Matthew Lewis photoshoot, and it would be good to keep the front page of the wikia looking fresh! If you don't mind, staff can help out every now and then to update parts of it, but I'd love to see it maintained by the community :) Grace (profile)•(talk) 15:46, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Ok! You'll probably see some changes when new stuff comes out then :D Obviously you guys are free to edit anything we change, and I'm excited to see some activity pick up on the wikia again once more stuff comes out about the new movies! Grace (profile)•(talk) 20:57, June 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, Rick! I updated the main page with some new stuff, including a new poll, and I switched out the My Wikia promotion for images promoting the Harry Potter Wiki app! Again, you and the other admins can curate your app by going here. I'd love to get your input on other ways to promote the app to users on this community, so let me know what you think!

Stray breaking space
Hey! I see you are a sysop on the wiki: I just thought you should know that, for some reason, there's a stray on Special:WikiActivity that is pushing things down. I assume this is some sort of custom JS code you've got here, but it's quite annoying as it breaks some of my own JS/CSS edits. I know it's not my own JS/CSS since it's not there on any other wiki, so hopefully this can be fixed.

As a random suggestion: you should consider removing some unnecessary JS from MediaWiki:Common.js: the code for AjaxRC can be imported with relative simplicity from the Developers Wiki, for example. Cheers! --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 16:09, June 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * EDIT: A quick check of Common.js seems to be the cause. The fix would be to import the AjaxRC script as intended from Wikia Developers Wiki and remove the unnecessary code paste. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 16:20, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

I'm currently improving articles on Harry Potter videogames and each of its versions, and I've recently learned that the infobox template for video games is a protected template only admins can edit.

Portable Infoboxes
We’re reaching out to a few of our top communities, hoping to get you on board with the migration to the new infobox markup. And we have tools to help!


 * Why we’re doing this

Simply put: Most current infobox structure translates very poorly to mobile experiences, and indeed any device that doesn’t use desktop-style displays. On desktops and laptops, they often look amazing. The problem is that Wikia’s traffic is trending mobile.

There is an important graph from our forum post about infoboxes a couple weeks back, and I want to share it here as well:



Mobile is the future. Not just for Wikia, but for the web as a whole. Take a look at the recent trends and future growth predictions for mobile traffic - it's staggering.

We partnered with the Wikia community to create this new markup to make sure that your hard work can be displayed on mobile devices (as well as any future technologies) easily and without any new coding conventions. It’ll take some effort up front, to be sure, but we’re here to help, and the work you put in now will pay for itself tenfold in the future.


 * Tools we’ve designed to ease the process

We’ve enabled two new features on your community. One is a tool for migrating the “old” infobox code to the new markup. It identifies templates on your wikia that look like infobox templates and places a box on the right rail of the template page. When you click the “Generate draft markup” button in this box, it opens a new tab containing a draft of your infobox using the new markup.

The second is a new feature on Special:Insights that will highlight which infoboxes on your wikia have not been migrated to the new infobox markup. It’s fairly intuitive - you can click on the infobox title link itself to see the old markup, or simply click the “Convert!” button on the right, which performs the same action as the “Generate draft markup” button.

This is our help page for the new markup. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

"Transylvania competed in the 1473 Quidditch World Cup, though this cannot be historically possible as Transylvania was not a country, but an autonomous part of Hungary."

Flanders
Flanders competed in the 1473 Quidditch World Cup, though this cannot be historically possible as Flanders was not a country, or part of one in that day and age, but a part of the Habsburg ruled Low Countries.

Regards Tom Riddle's gang /  Knights of Walpurgis.
I appreciate the name "Knights of Walpurgis" deserves a mention, as it was mentioned in an interview, but not as the article title, for the simple reason that it was JK's notes for OoP, she said "I don't know if I'll use it", and she then clearly didn't. I suggest including a section on it, as you already added, and further suggest adding a nod to it in the Infobox. It seems quite clear that the progression went "Tom Riddle's gang" (informal group, informal conjectural name), to "Knights of Walpurgis" (possible former name of Death Eater organization), to "the Death Eaters" - without any dates being given, except that we know Tom Riddle's gang informally got together in the early 40s, the name "Death Eaters" was in use by the early 70s. The Knights of Walpurgis may (or may not) have been a name used (in-world, I mean) at some or any point between those dates. Similarly, there's nothing special about 1945 that suggests a disbandment or change of name, as it's conjectured that they may have accompanied him to Albania et al. I think it's highly unlikely they did, but must admit there's nothing canonical that makes it absolutely clear that they didnt, and definitely nothing to suggest how organized they remained (or not) while Voldemort was travelling.

Unwieldy talk page
Previous edit summary should read "Proper paragraph titles", but I hit "Publish" too soon.

It also dawned on me that this talk page is slightly less than a hundred messages long, and that perhaps it is time to archive some of it. Your choice, of course. :) <font face="Viner Hand ITC"><font size="4" color="Green">DresdenFilesReader  13:51, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Speculation?
About multilanguage:

Fact 1) Gilderoy Lockhart travels to faroff places.

Fact 2) He speaks to people from faroff places.

Fact 3) Surprisingly few faroff places have people who speak English very well or understand it.

Conclusion: To make himself understood, and to understand the descriptions given to him by more accomplished witches and wizards, he will have to speak in their language. Thus: He speaks in more languages than one.

About knowledge:

Fact 1) He meets accomplished witches and wizards.

Fact 2) He hear how they accomplished heroic deeds and how and in which way day used advanced magic.

Fact 3) He is a relentless self-promoter.

Conclusion: He knows much about advanced magic, he learned about it from the people from whom he stole the credit and claims the situations he used them in as his own doing. Thus: He knows about advanced magic, but is unable to use it because his a bad wizard, and therefore make referece to said advanced magic in his books, but present them at ill-fitting times in his eagerness for attention.

Where, I ask you, is the speculation? If I told you my name had began with A and ended in ndrew, you would not have 'speculated' on my name being Andrew, now would you? Ninclow 18:05, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

Delete category
Could you possibly use your administrive powers to remove the category "Dark magic" from Loose Hand? (either that or I'm just too stupid to figure out how to delete it myself.) I have a reason why it should be deleted. It's actually not enchanted. My mistake. It's actually being controlled by a ghost, as it can be hurt using Skurge.

Second-Hand Bookshop
Hi :) I noticed you added the pic for Florian's Ice Cream Parlour from the second disk of HP2. I also noticed that the Second-Hand Bookshop appeared on the pic you added for the Parlour. Can you try to see if you could find a better pic for the bookshop from this DVD bonus, please? :) Lady Junky 20:14, September 21, 2015 (UTC)

Vandal Slytherclaw20
Hi there,

please take a look at, who did some not-so-nice things to some pages since yesterday.

I am unsure on how to "undo" a page move etc. Can you help and maybe also keep Slytherclaw20 from messing up this wiki?

(I also left this message at other administrator's talk pages, since I do not know, who of you might be "active" today).

 * As noted on CubsFan2007's talk page, this vandal is using three names; this one, plus Turkeeeyrav and MelodyMason. As all three are socks and vandalism-only accounts, they should be blocked forthwwith. — RobertATfm (talk) 12:27, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! :)
Love your improvements. Don't know how to do the edits so if I notice anything, just put it in Chat for others to look at. Mainly, it is names missing from disam sp for First names or from the surname for potential family? The only one I can remember is that there is a game character named Bella but since Bella is also Bellatrix's nickname, if you type in Bella, it redirects to Bellatrix. Bella Farley (film).

Hey man, I am reasonably new - about two weeks since I joined - to the Wiki (although I am definitely NOT new to Harry Potter) and (obviously) you are not. So I was just wondering what you have to do in order to earn a Prefect's Badge? It is a goal that I would very much like to accomplish but I'm not 100% sure on the requirements. I assume that it is just something noteworthy? Anyway, would love to hear back from you, love your work man, thanks.

ArrestoMomentum (talk) 02:53, October 21, 2015 (UTC) Hello Seth, I recently created a page called "List of Harry Potter characters (in the order that they are mentioned)" only to realise that this has already been done under a different name (character index). I was wondering if this page could be deleted by an admin like yourself as this page is obviously pointless seeing as there is a page exactly the same. Sorry for wasting your time, my sincerest apologies.

ArrestoMomentum (talk) 04:59, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

May I ask you ?
Why I see in Harry Potter Limited Edition a former Hogwarts headmaster wearing orange named Dame Antonia Creaseworthy, but also has a wizard named Dame Antonia Creaseworthy portrait hung at Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry School of why such have must is other people it wrong write or not ? <font face="Gigi" size="4" color="FF3000">Nguonnhanluc853

Why
Hello Seth,

I saw a few days ago that the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" needed a lot done to it (according to the box at the top of the page) so I went ahead and spent 3 hours or so touching it up and (hopefully) making the article of a higher standard. I know, though, that it still needs A LOT of work done to it - I feel as though a lot of new headings could be added to add much more detail and as I am very knowledgable in terms of Harry Potter, but especially in terms of the WWOHP, I feel as though I could definitely contribute to the article more. Basically, I would greatly appreciate if you could check the page out and maybe give me some feedback on what could be added as I am very willing to.

Thanks a lot - ArrestoMomentum

Hey Seth,

I am just wondering if there is any way to apply for an admin. I am aware that you must be very well-known and experienced to become an admin (I only have 234 edits), but it is a long-term goal that I would love to reach at some point in my life. I also feel as though the HPW could do with a few more admins, as you and a few others seem to be the only ones ever active out of the 30 or so that currently exist. I really appreciate what you have done for me and the rest of the HPW community, thanks a lot.

ArrestoMomentum (talk) 07:20, October 28, 2015 (UTC)

Ah! Thank you, these are my thoughts exactly. I will hopefully apply for admin when I am much more experienced in the Harry Potter Wiki community! And as for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter page, I have a LOT to add, thanks once again,

ArrestoMomentum (talk) 18:50, October 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hello again Seth!

I just had a couple of questions that I would really love to know the answer to (as I am only a few weeks old on this Wiki) and I thought, seeing as you know everything there is to know about the Harry Potter Wiki, I was wondering if maybe you could answer them?

1. I was wondering how you are able to get a cool signature, I looked around and it seems you need to know some sort of code? Just wondering if there's an easier way, thanks.

2. What exactly are the requirements to becoming a rollback user? I know that I am probably much too inexperienced to be that kind of user but, for the future (and becoming more knowledgeable), I would love to know! Thanks.

Please do let me know if you do not want to be messaged all the time by me, I am just very eager to learn more about the Wiki!

Thanks a lot, ArrestoMomentum (talk) 07:19, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Seth,

thanks for the advice on my signature, I love my new one! I was just wondering, as I am really enjoying editing on the Harry Potter Wiki, if there were any large editing jobs that you have wanted done for a long time that I could help with or do on my own? No worries if there are not, just though I'd ask in case.

Thanks as per usual -   ArrestoMomentum  &#124;  talk  08:16, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

Hello again Seth,

I was just wondering whether you had any tips on achieving the goals that I have set out to achieve: Be awarded a Prefect's Badge, Become an Admin, Earn O.M. (First Class). I know that they are quite difficult to achieve but I am really enjoying being on the Harry Potter Wiki (you may have noticed!) and I feel as though at some point they may be possible. The main reason I came to you is because (obviously) you are very experienced and you have achieved every goal that I have set out to reach, so who better to ask?

As always, appreciate your contributions and help -   ArrestoMomentum  &#124;  talk  04:17, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Seth,

I was just wondering if you could answer a question that I have concerning full stops. I have found that, when editing, often there are full stops after one sentence photo captions and also after quote descriptions.

Example: "When in doubt, go to the library." - Ron.

Now, I'm no English teacher but I do beleive that you are not supposed to have full stops in these specific cases and high quality articles like Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger seem to agree with me. I have been removing full stops in these cases for a few days now and I feel prepared to attempt to do this for every article if that is what you wish. If, for some reason, you would like the full stops to be put back, I am also happy to do so but I feel that this is unnecessary because, as I said before, all the featured articles do not feature full stops in these cases.

Just thought I'd let you know, all the best -   ArrestoMomentum  &#124;  talk  19:03, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

Ok, great! I will get work on removing periods from an captions that are not a full sentence.

Thanks as always -   ArrestoMomentum  &#124;  talk  04:46, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Hello again,

I was also wondering, if possible, if you could check my application for rollback rights? It's not a worry if you feel that I am not trustworthy enough yet, I just felt that it was the right time to apply as I have made a fair few contributions now.

Would appreciate your feedback -   ArrestoMomentum  &#124;  talk  04:48, November 3, 2015 (UTC)
