==Listusers==
 
 
I see you've started customising [[Special:Listusers]] based on this page. Would you like me to finish doing so? (If so, please leave a message on my talk page) -- <span style="background:white">[[User:Manticore|<span style="color:black">'''Manticore'''</span>]] [[User talk:Manticore|<span style="color:black">(talk)</span>]]</span> 03:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 
 
==Patroller with move permission?==
 
Does the Patroller rank have the ability to move pages? If not, what do you staff think of the idea of granting the rank that privelige? I know of some wikis that allow ordinary users the ability to move pages (for better or worse), and it seems appropriate that a rank of intermediate, trusted user like patroller be granted the ability. I frequently come across pages that are obviously misnamed (Like Dragon Raign), and since there's no way to mark things as needing to be moved besides mentioning it on the talk page and hoping someone sees it, I'm sure patrollers could be trusted with the ability and would find it useful. --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 20:09, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 
 
:To my knowledge Patrollers do not have that ability, although I see no reason why they shouldn't. As to become a patroller, they must have first proven to be reliable members. At the moment, however, the only way is to make a note on the talk page and hope that either [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]], [[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest gta fan ever]] or myself see the request. You could also contact one of us on our talk pages, which will flag up when we next visit the site. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 20:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 
 
::I agree - they should have that ability. However, Wikia have taken over control of the "powers" of each user group, and which user groups exist. I can only put someone into the following groups: Rollback (having the quick-revert ability), Admin (sysop) or Manager (bureaucrat). I have spoken with Wikia staff to try to get something set up. I still think having 3 levels of staff is reasonable, and is the best way of handling our wiki. I'll keep you informed.

==New Staff==
 
I've just edited the [[Staff]] page and moved all the moderators to the inactive staff list, as none of them have edited in the past month. So we may want to take on more staff at this stage. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 01:46, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Patroller limit

We have seven patrollers on this wiki, could be eight pending on Sasquatch101's request. Isn't it about time we put a limit on how many patrollers we have here? I personally think we need a new admin rather then a new patroller. Messi1983 (talk) 05:50, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't just thinking the same, I was about to propose putting you me and Tom working with a couple of the better patrollers to get them ready to be an admin. I was also thinking that if anyone gets the urge to step down as a b-crat, I think Ilan's very close to ready to step up, if not ready already. Though I don't think GTAWiki should ever have more than 3 b-crats at a time. Jeff (talk|stalk) 06:23, February 5, 2013 (UTC)


We need a new admin or two because in a couple of months time, GTA V will come out and then this place will be like rush hour on the London Underground (chaos and very very busy). If we ever needed a new B'crat, then yes, Ilan would be my first choice to be promoted. Him or Winter Moon. Messi1983 (talk) 23:09, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Some one needs to step up from the Patroller ranks. I'd go with M.K. or myself. For me, we'll have to wait until or after March because that is when I'll be active when my computer arrives.
Mr. T. (talk) 00:29, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I never commented on this matter. But with more and more requests coming in, we should definitely decide. Also I do agree with the Ilan thing, but he has established himself as something of a senior Admin already. Tom Talk 19:57, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

With three bureaucrats, four admins, and eight patrollers, and most of them active, I believe we do not need anymore new staff members. Only promotions that should happen is if one of our existing patrollers request adminship or if Ilan requests Bureaucratship. Messi1983 (talk) 09:48, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Inactive bureaucrats

While checking the users list, I noticed that User:Thai420 and User:GuildKnight are still flagged as bureaucrats. Thai420 hasn't been around for years, GuildKnight hasn't edited for years (she logged in in October 2012) and she's among the crew that went over to Grand Theft Wiki although she's inactive over there. Should we not worry about it or should we hold a request for demotion? Jeff (talk|stalk) 21:26, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Nothing to worry about if they're both been inactive for ages. Messi1983 (talk) 23:04, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

On the page

Can one of the admins put the staffs colors on the page so new users know what they mean. 

Example:

Beuracrats = Baby Blue

Admins = Blue

Patrollers = Yellow

You admins should consider it.  Boomer8 (talk) 02:38, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

I think that would be useless, the names are already colored. Take a look.Dodo8 Talk

Singapore flag

It won't work with the Flagicon template because it isn't a .svg.

Instead, the code is [[File:SingaporeFlag.gif|20px|link=wp:Singapore]]

MarcusCheeKJ 's name is misspelled

Hey I just wanted to say something, the new Patroller, MarcusCheeKJ has his name misspelled as 'MarcusCheekKJ' in the Patroller section of the page. I can't edit this page because I'm not a staff member, so can somebody please change it? Andy Ashley (talk) 00:40, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

I meant the image for the user in the page. Andy Ashley (talk) 00:41, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out Andy, i'll report that to an admin. Say hello to the eagle! AndreEagle17 Press triangle to interact Press X to stalk Press circle to blog 00:50, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
Woah, I did not notice this... Thanks Andy, Andre & 558 for correcting this. :) MC (MyComputer) 06:56, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Oops, I just noticed that WildBrick had the same problem as me, as his avatar link is "Wildbrick142". Can an admin or b'crat change this please? MC (MyComputer) 12:34, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

Hey guys. I noticed that the India flag does not link to a Wikipedia page like all of the other flags. Can somebody fix it? Andy A. (Talk | Contributions) 15:45, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

Hello? Is anyone going to fix it? Andy A. (Talk | Contributions) 18:28, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

That's because it isn't a flag icon, it is just a .png image. The svg image messed up and the whole thing was corrupt. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 21:28, October 3, 2015 (UTC)
