Administration
This wiki needs administrators or moderators who will actively monitor and maintain the wiki.
I think we can all agree that in the wiki's current state, anyone could just waltz right in and cause havoc if they so desired.
The most recent disruptive user that I know about has just been
banned, at least. So apparently there are steps taken if the right person knows about something.
User moderation
☑ Resolved.
A user by the name of
Lxm6 has been in constant fights with
SirYodaJedi. This is supposed to be a wiki of modders that help other modders, but it is increasingly becoming another drama hole. It should be clear that action needs to be taken on one or both of these accounts and moderators should be appointed. These actions are completely inappropriate for this wiki and should not continue.
Two request - Changing username and spam filter issue on YT link template.
☐ Unresolved.
Simple request.
1. Change my username to LeonidaKarlach
2. Fix the spam filter on the {{Youtube/doc}} (documentation subpage for YouTube link templates), adding any video links or playlist link examples would trigger spam filter, due to this, I had to comment out the rest of the example temporarily.
EDIT: the second one was partially solved by using full youtube.com
domains, but the youtu.be
links remain blocked.
Counter-Strike 2 Workshop tools and the sidebar
☑ Resolved.
As Counter-Strike 2 and its workshop tools are now released could the admins put it on the sidebar like every other Workshop toolkit/SDK.
User Style CSS
☐ Unresolved.
Please add User Style CSS to this MediaWiki so that nobody has to edit Common.css to fix the style issues when editing or using search.
☐ Unresolved.
The user
Viktini324 has been trolling on the
Talk:Counter-Strike 2 page, and in recent edit history has only edited talk pages with insulting or improper content
[1], along with creating useless pages
[2].

I saw his activity, and I am also against it! He offers stupid ideas and creates unnecessary spam pages. Can this account be reported as spam? I didn’t notice any useful edits on his part.
Got some evidence of use of slurs.
Sucks people like this exist, hate breeds hate
Username change
☑ Resolved.
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to change my username from JacobsDevelop
to GabrielV
Yeap, you can do this, but only for templates (such as
{{User page}},
{{Message}}, etc.) and your user page (this wiki does not allow you to change your username). Read the
documentation for
{{User settings page}} and write all the parameters you need on
your settings subpage.
Tip:If you don't have a settings subpage, you can use the "Create your settings page" section in the previously provided documentation.
Note:You already did this, but I'll write this message in case someone has the same question and is looking for an answer here.
Wake up Valve admins - Ban trolls such as User:HaammerEditoor.
☑ Resolved.
Reposted to correct page this time. Anyway this wiki is becoming more like TF2 bot problem and for days,
User:HaammerEditoor (unknown whether this is a sock of
User:HammerEditor, but it could be another user/troll), previously vandalized several pages and causing
Template:Sdktools to briefly not load (timed out), most likely an attempt to DDOS/XSS, the same user later also trolls various users on this wiki, with sarcastic apology. Valve/wiki admins should do something about this.
☑ Resolved.
We need access to MediaWiki:Common.css
☐ Unresolved.
THE OWL 17:25, 16 June 2024 (UTC+7) (edited)
Wiki scaling on smartphones is terrible, scaling elements of some heavy templates is based on a bunch of tricks, the style of some buttons, links, etc. needs animations and much more. This wiki could be much better if all or some users had access to
CSS file.
In my sandbox, I sometimes try to give a unified style to the wiki, but I always can't achieve proper interactivity of links, buttons, etc. Yes, I can do a lot without direct access to CSS, but then it will only be part of the idea.
