Brighter Shores:Administrator requests

What this page is for

• Protecting/unprotecting pages. Highly visible pages or content that may have links from outside websites are encouraged to have some level of protection. This can also include a request for administrators to try and calm down an edit war. This should be done according to the Brighter Shores:Protection policy.
• Moving/renaming protected pages and files. Due to vandals' mis-use of the page move tool, some pages are protected from being renamed except by an administrator. If you can make a compelling case for a page move, or consensus has been reached on the respective discussion page related to the page you think needs to be renamed, formal requests for the page move can happen here. New contributors to this wiki or "anonymous" users wishing to rename a page that don't have the page move option available to them yet are also welcome to make such requests on this page.
• Minor edits to protected pages. This is mostly on protected templates that can have a substantial impact on the whole wiki if they are changed, so caution is urged when they are modified.
• Announcements that are intended to be across the whole wiki. This appears on MediaWiki:Sitenotice, and should be something that would be of interest to the whole community.
• Importing pages from another wiki. While seldom used for content on this wiki, this is an option that is available for bringing in content from another wiki and preserving its edit history, which requires administrator rights. This may take some time, so be patient if you wish to make this sort of request. MediaWiki importing tools can sometimes be buggy, so be gentle on volunteer administrators doing this task.
• Reporting vandals and spammers. Regular editors are encouraged to revert the vandalism or spam as quickly as possible, and alert an administrator to block the problematic user in order to prevent further damage.
• Hiding revisions and/or edit summaries. In the case of blatant copyright violations, significantly offensive material, identity establishing information, or any other content that poses a major risk to the wiki or its editors, the revision(s) may be hidden using Special:RevisionDelete.
• General questions to the administrators of this wiki. You might get a faster reply by posting on the User help page; however, the administrators here will try to help you to the best of their abilities.

What this page is not for

• Problems that do not require administrator tools to complete. Instead, please visit the user help page.
• Requests to become an administrator. If you are interested in learning what an administrator does or how you can become one, please visit the Administrators page for information about administrators and Requests for adminship page for the process to become an administrator.
• General discussions about administrator behaviour. Most policy discussions, including policies that govern administrators, ought to be started on the Forum Grove and kept to that forum for input from the larger Brighter Shores Wiki community.
• Minor requests for deletion. If you've accidentally duplicated content or wish to just clean up a mess you've made on the wiki, you should simply tag the page with {{D|Reason(s) for nomination}}.

Duplicate pages about game updates

There are two pages about game updates: https://brightershoreswiki.org/w/Game_updates and https://brightershoreswiki.org/w/Updates. They need to be merged. Gemeos (talk) 18:32, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

I have redirected Updates to Game updates. BlackHawk (talk) 19:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Armour page

Considering the Game Developers FenResearch and the game Brighter Shores is from the United Kingdom. Wiki pages need to be in the same language as the game. The 'Armor' page should be renamed to 'Armour' and 'Armor' should re-direct to it. Having discrepancy between the game and the wiki, feels like a wrong move.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mane (talk) on 02:52, 16 December 2024 (UTC).

Oppose: The game uses American spelling, and our wiki style guide (Brighter_Shores:Style_guide#SPELLING) reflects this. All spellings on the wiki should be in American spelling. Drekryan (talk) 04:25, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
