Hello everyone! I am Ajraddatz, one of the active bureaucrats here. I do various tasks around the wiki, including welcoming new users and fixing stuff. If you need help, ask away! 18:51, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Achievements
Hi Ajraddatz. Glad to hear that you guys want to get in on the beta test of wiki achievements. I just enabled the extension for FarmVille Wiki. To answer your questions, all of the achievements can be customized, both the name and the image seen inside the achievement's frame (bronze, silver, gold) by going to Special:AchievementsCustomize. Also, you can create new badges by creating a new Edit track for specific categories. See the "Create a new Edit track" section on the right side of achievement customization page I linked to for the details. As for removing achievements, you can only remove ones you make when creating a new Edit track, by simply disabling that track. All users can keep up with who has the most achievements by viewing Special:Leaderboard. Let me know if you have any other questions or run into any issues.

 * Good catch. That indeed is a bug. It has been passed on to the Tech team and will be fixed soon. JoePlay ( talk ) 00:00, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, we noticed that you created and handed out a platinum badge. The platinum badges are only for the Wikia Content Team / Wikia Staff to give out for special events/contests/etc and was supposed to be protected as such. So it seems you found two bugs, haha. Well done, sir. In the meantime, please do not create any other platinum badges. Main reason being we don't want the admins at the other wikis that currently have achievements to see it and want to do it themselves, since it wasn't supposed to be possible in the first place. Also, just a heads up - the one you created will most likely be disabled when this is fixed. Sorry. JoePlay ( talk ) 00:14, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * After looking around, I see that you're referring to the award Kacieh (who is on the Content Team for Entertainment) gave you at The Office Wiki. Those "Achievement Awards" are completely different than the new system that I just enabled here. The awards at The Office Wiki, which served as a precursor to the full-featured Wiki Achievements, was a totally manual thing that she setup there. In order to get an award, you had to post on a certain page basically saying "hey I did this, can you give me the award?" Then Kacieh would manually add the award to the person's user page. This new Wiki Achievements system is 100% automatic, aside from the platinum badges that can only be given out by the Content Team, with the one exception being the Wiki Hero achievement (make an edit for 365 consecutive days). It's the only platinum badge users can earn automatically, although insanely difficult to get. JoePlay ( talk ) 20:04, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not that I know of, but I will certainly pass on your request to the Product Manager for the achievements. It's still a work-in-progress, so perhaps in a future iteration that ability could be added, if they decide to of course. JoePlay ( talk ) 21:45, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Also, can you confirm any speculation about the Wild Mustangs having ended?

Thank you for the warm welcome
Thanks so much for the welcome note. Cheers! Momoricks 07:28, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Admin-Made Awards
Ok, thanks for the info. Theboy1001 Talk 16:49, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Achievements for pictures
Hi! My name's Danny, I'm the product manager who's been working on Achievements. Joe has been passing on your bug reports to me; I'm really glad that you're spotting all the glitches!

I figured out why people are getting badges for 100+ pictures -- it's because you've got navigation templates at the bottom of the page that include dozens of images. So when Wikitommy created the Groovy Theme page, he added the BuildingNav template, which includes more than 100 images.

We shouldn't be counting those -- this is a bug that we're just finding now because this wiki's templates have so many images in them. We'll work on fixing the bug; hopefully it'll be fixed soon! -- Danny (talk ) 20:07, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Unreleased Template
Do you think you could look at Template:Unreleased, please? It keeps going really wide, look at Football Field. Thanks. Theboy1001 Talk 16:41, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yea, I'll look at it. 17:39, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. :) Theboy1001 Talk 10:46, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Sagh
Thx Ajr for dealing with that mess. Sagh emailed me last night about the block, and all I could tell him is we hadn't blocked him, but another wiki had, and to try to contact an admin on the other wiki. Resa1983 14:36, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Achievements pictures
Hi! I have an update on the pictures bug for Achievements. The bug fix is going to go out in the code release next Wednesday, June 23rd. Sorry that it's been a pain! -- Danny (talk ) 16:35, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

I am trying to figure out the market stalls on Farmville. I can't seem to get my crops into the market stalls. How much does it take to harvest a bushel? I harvested an entire field and nothing. Am I doing something wrong.?

Sorry, forgot to leave my name regarding the market stall issue I left earlier and getting the bushels into the stalls. Thanks for your help....Gina

On This Day - Main Page
Do you have any idea why it does not update daily? Looking at it right now, it shows June 15th. If I go in to edit it, it shows June 17th. :P HELP! Usakoi 03:32, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I dunno. That's why I removed it :3 03:33, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * It shows June 17th for me. But thats because its June 17 per wikia's date (UTC). If we change to  it'll then take the date from your preference settings (ie your timezone). But it still doesn't really change the real problem: Updates only show for at max 3 hours on the front page because Zynga always releases their updates late at night. Resa1983 03:42, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * NM. LocalDay2 is the time zone of the wiki itself. Any way we can change the time zone of the wiki itself? lawl. Resa1983 03:48, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Its like the FarmVille Wiki/On This Day page needs to be updated every day in order for it to show the correct date. Is there a way to flush the cache for this page to it updates every day? *goes to do some research* Usakoi 14:17, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * "References to variables which give the current date and time (17 June, 14:22 UTC) (27 August, ) are not updated if not logged in. " However, you can force a purge, and have it update for the day.. I think this is what we're gonna have to do daily... Resa1983 14:24, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I popped a link on there I got from Wikipedia. :P People can force purge it themselves. It worked for me. Usakoi 14:28, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Style guide
Hey Ajr! I just added a new section to the Style Guide (Introductory Sentence). Please give me some feedback on this and make some corrections, if needed! :) Valnar275 11:19, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very nice :) 13:36, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Creator Achievement
No, sorry -- there isn't a way to give the founder the Creator badge. That's in the system for when we turn Achievements on for brand-new wikis. We don't back-date any of the awards, so you need to get them while the game is turned on. -- Danny (talk ) 16:34, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to say "Hi" and thanks you for all your work on Farmville wiki!

P.S. I'm also doing this for the "Make a Connection" badge Vincent2128 08:06, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Main Menu
There are two links at the bottom: Achievements Leaderboard and Wiki Leaderboard. Are they meant to go to the same place? :) Usakoi 16:22, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes... Not sure why the other is there. 17:33, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Achievements pictures
Hi! The bug fix for the pictures track went live today -- from now on, people won't get credit for adding pictures that appear on more than 10 pages on the wiki. Adding the common navigation templates won't give people an extra 100 pictures anymore.

Now, we can't go back and take away the pictures badges that people got because of this bug, so you have a choice here. We can leave things the way they are -- the people who have won pictures badges up until now will just keep them, and we move on.

But -- if it bothers folks that some people have pictures badges that they didn't earn, then we could wipe the whole database and start over. That means everyone on FarmVille goes back down to 0, and we start over without the pictures bug.

Either way is totally fine -- I just wanted to let you know that that option existed. Let me know if I can help with anything! -- Danny (talk ) 23:17, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, cool! Have fun with the badges. :) -- Danny (talk ) 00:18, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

FarmVille Senior Community Manager - Craig Dalrymple
Heya, did you ever get an email from me from this guy? He'd really like to see what he can do to help us since we're one of the largest resources for FarmVille:

If you haven't seen this before, let me know how you would like to proceed. I can continue to be his main contact, but if so, I would like to know how you all feel about this Wiki and what our goals are. :) Thanks in advance! Usakoi 18:28, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that I was the one who sent the email to them, actually. I'm a but busy now, but will get to that later today. Thanks for letting me know! 20:42, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Show/Hide on Navboxes
I'm not sure why, but the show/hide is not working on the navboxes and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if it's a browser thing. Is it working for you? Usakoi 23:34, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is working fine for me. Maybe a css cache issue on your computer? 23:35, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol, now it's suddenly working for me... and I don't think it was anything I did. I'm so confused!!! I tried clearing my cache, reinstalling Java and Flash (because it stopped working after Wikia told me to update Flash). *shrug* Usakoi 13:21, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Patroller Rights
Hey, just wanted to thank you for making me a patroller! :)

Yes, I need help!
Someone banned me for a supposedly mean comment or something. Resa whoever. And all I did was look at the page. Can you help me sort this out? -HSRCampbell 00:03, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Resa1983. And she said that I said something that "wasn't appropriate for a wikia, or for children". All I did was follow the page.

RE: Beta testing new skin
Thanks for the offer, but we aren't taking volunteers to be beta wikis, sorry. The few wikis that are beta testing the new look were handpicked by Wikia Staff. JoePlay ( talk ) 00:01, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Caching issues
Experiencing severe caching issues, again. File:Herbal_Lotion-icon.png is showing a poor version that Weakestlink11111 uploaded, and not the official image I uploaded. This is really getting to be annoying. Resa1983 03:29, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

The Events page is missing a Halloween Icon
Please repair the Halloween Icon on the FARMVILLE WIKI EVENTS page.

There is only a set of words instead of a graphic.

Thank you.

Thank you for helping me understand that I may never have a Neapolitan cow.

Will you please investigate the CASH COW facebook page ?

I suspect the CASH COW is a fraud.

Can you influence the creation of new abilities in old items ?

Could you advocate allowing Plant Monsters to be harvested ?

Could you advocate allowing Plant Monsters to make Egg Pods that may offer gifts or new Plant Monsters ?

Will the Plant Monster will be offered during this Halloween Event Season ?

How much will a Plant Monster cost then ?

Do you know how much storage space a Plant Monster takes up ?

What is the maximun number of Plant Monsters that may be stored in a fully expanded Storage cellar ?

What is the maximun number of Plant Monsters that may be stored in a fully expanded Barn ?

Thank you for you good work.

Animal Template
Hi Ajraddatz, Sorry to bug; I thought you might have an answer to my question.

While I was adding some Event Templates to items, I noticed discrepancies regarding some Animal pages: What's up with these differences? Is there anything I can do to make the Animal pages consistent? Let me know if you have any ideas. ETA: Okay, so I have learned how to use the brackets instead of the full text of the template. *blush*
 * Baby_White_Tiger - when editing this page, you see the "text" of the Animal template, using brackets instead of the little jigsaw icon that shows a preview. The edit toolbar is limited. There is no button for "insert template" function. I'm guessing this is a "semi-protected" page, and the other one (below) is not?
 * Monal_Bird - This page has the little jigsaw icon for the template instead. The full toolbar is present, with the "insert template" button.

Still curious as to why some pages have the full toolbar and others don't?

Thanks! Heidi Holton 18:47, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi; neither pages are protected, and I can't see a difference. Could you please provide me with a screenshot? Thanks, 00:58, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Wordmark
I don't know if you're aware, but the new Wikia skin means you'll need a new logo. It has to be a PNG of exactly 250x65 pixels and can be uploaded to File:Wiki-wordmark.png via Special:Themedesigner. Unfortunately the guys who designed the previous logos seem to be no longer active on this Wiki. Digifiend 06:23, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your valued support and for granting me the admin. I hope to contribute still more to this wonderful Wiki. Bonicolli 11:49, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

A suggestion
I suggest we, admins, need to have a meeting or maybe just a brief talk about the wikia. Idk, from my point of view, many thing seems to be... just a little bit out of order. Hope u can consider it. :) Wikitommy 12:09, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Immediate Action required (urgent)
Hello Ajraddatz, May you have a look at the Breeding Horses page and undo the rubbish content that have just been added? I tried to do it but I keep receiving this message "The edit could not be undone due to conflicting intermediate edits." Please have a look and apply the necessary. Thanks. DHA October 31, 2010 19:35 (EDT)
 * Dealing with it now. Thanks for your blocking action :) 23:36, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Ajraddatz, it's me again. I'd appreciate if you could Revert the edits on my User talk:DHA page by using VDA (reverting vandalism); due to offensive language. I'm just not able to do it. Many thanks DHA 16:41 November 01, 2010 (EDT)

New skin
Help!!! The new skin is horrible: the white pages give so much glare that it is impossible to edit any more for more than five minutes without tears running down my eyes from the glare and me squinting my eyes trying to read what I have written. I want the green background back!!! And where has my user page gone with the info about changed paged and earned badges, etc.?
 * What a dump... the site appearance can not be found anywhere. And I now get messages as: "The My Home feature is only available if you're using the Monaco skin. If you'd like to see My Home, please visit your Preferences to change your skin." My earned badges are nowhere to be found anymore. And I can't find anywhere how to select Monaco back...Bonicolli 18:43, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
