The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ~~~~) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:

• Only wiki-related issues should be posted here. For support or suggestions regarding the game, try posting on the official forums at [1] or emailing the developers at support@studiowildcard.com.
• This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post discussions on the talk page.
• Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
• Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding {{delete|reason for deletion request}} to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
• Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment instead.
• Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
• For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene. If a user must be reported here, please use {{user}}, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Game Support

Please keep in mind that the task of the ARK Survival Evolved Wiki is only to document the game.

Since none of the editors here are developers, we can neither help with issues directly related to the game nor influence any facet of its development any more than you can.

Instead of posting your report here, you should visit: How to Submit a Ticket.

Please post new topics at the bottom of the page by clicking this link to add a new section

WIKI Announcement!

This is a wiki for the game, we're not developers despite what you may think about it, so we really can't adjust your problems with the game. If you're having ingame issues or anything unrelated to the wiki, your best bet is to check out if there's a fix at the Steam Forums for the game. We'll most likely delete any pages you make that are unrelated to the wiki. If you have some ideas for helping people with their issues, feel free to make a Guide, as people seem to be having quite a few issues and are unable to find a fix. I'm sure they'd be super grateful. --Z3ther (talk) 22:19, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

I have cleaned up any thing thats not relevant to the issues on this wiki --SharpShot gif (talk) 14:28, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

New infobox templates

I would like to share with you something that I've been working on this week: New infobox templates! They look a little different than the old ones, but I don't expect that to be an issue. What's exciting is that they allow more information to be added than before, and many of the parameters are now easier to use. The documentation for the templates is not done yet, but I don't think that should stop us from using them. Here's a list of templates and an example of what they look like, as I have already added them to a few select pages:

Template	Example Page
{{infobox armor}}	Cloth Hat
{{infobox consumable}}	Cooked Meat
{{infobox item}}	GPS
{{infobox resource}}	Stone
{{infobox structure}}	Campfire
{{infobox weapon}}	Pike

Please let me know if there's anything that can be improved, especially if any parameters need to be added. Also, I'll be adding an infobox specifically for creatures and recipes later. Oh, and I'm sorry about all the change log spam you've had to endure while I made this, such is the nature of a wiki.

I look forward to reading your thoughts! -- IllegalOpcode (talk) 18:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Dang they look good, well done! I sneaked a peak on your user page a few days ago... :D --Z3ther (talk) 18:25, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I also forgot to mention that the infoboxes are set up to intelligently manage categories, so hopefully everything will become a bit more organized now, category-wise. :] -- IllegalOpcode (talk) 18:34, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Very nice I do like them a lot nice work --SharpShot gif (talk) 18:10, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Do you think we should start replacing the old info boxes with these? Since I'm going through a lot of pages adding xp, I could relatively easily change them to the new infobox template. Alex42000 (talk) 21:17, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Replacing them is the plan, yes, but I'm working on a script for my bot to do this, but don't let that stop you from converting them if you want to! The script is mostly done, actually, I just haven't had the time to hook it up to my bot yet, been a bit busy in the last week. :] -- IllegalOpcode (talk) 18:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Kibbles

Should every kibble have its own page? This seems kind of redundant to me, as they only differ in recipe and dino. -- Minemodoverlord (talk) 15:44, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

There might still be information relevant to each kibble, so I don't see the harm. And being able to link directly to a specific kibble shouldn't be underestimated. -- IllegalOpcode (talk) 16:52, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I made a page for all the rest of the kibbles that didn't already have a page and added a Nav Taming for them and other taming materials. Now they just need the amount of information that is on the scorpion kibble that I can't provide myself, as well as links form each animal to their preferred kibble, which I will Probably add myself.-- Minemodoverlord (talk) 18:51, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Nice work! What is the information you cannot provide yourself? -- IllegalOpcode (talk) 13:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

The difference between the pulminoscorpius kibble and the rest of the kibble pages since I don't have the game or know where to find the graphics used on that page. -- Minemodoverlord (talk) 14:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I see. I'm surprised you don't have the game considering how much you are contributing. :] -- IllegalOpcode (talk) 14:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I know right? XD -- Minemodoverlord (talk) 01:10, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Also can someone add a preferred kibble to the creature infobox?-- Minemodoverlord (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I added a kibble parameter to {{Infobox}}. -- IllegalOpcode (talk) 13:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I'll get right on that. -- Minemodoverlord (talk) 14:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

YOUTUBE ON WIKI

Hey so I recently got banned for apparently spamming the wiki with relevant videos. I have a few problems with this, firstly why was it just me and not the other youtubers? Additionally I got banned by stepping forward and saying that it was me that you guys was complaining about and tried to come to a solution, however I was ignored by the admins and you didnt take the time to confront me about this problem, I'm sorry but that is disgraceful, you are suppose to represent the community, and yet don't listen to them all. So whats the deal with that and posting you tube videos on this wiki? Additionally to explain my situation more clearly please refer to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlJiCcyMjog

I thank you for your time Mrcookiejunkie (talk) 19:10, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Mrcookiejunkie, actually you weren't ignored by the admins, since I felt like all your issues were addressed on the forums as you can see here. In regards to banning, @Mrcookiejunkie hasn't been blocked or banned, however your IP address (as shown in your video) WAS been banned because as you can see from your contributions you've ONLY added youtube videos and did nothing else to contribute to the wiki (which is highly looked down on in any wiki editing). However I went back and unblocked you, knowing that it was your account. In regards to listening to the community, we've left open the Wiki Rules open for Discussion for over a week, before applying the rules that the community voiced to the page, as well as a quite in-depth discussion on this page, so please don't accuse us of being disgraceful or not listening. You've had every chance to add your thoughts or contribute what you wanted to the building of the rules. That being said, please feel free to look over the rules for adding videos and if you think your videos qualify, you're welcome to list them on the talk pages in hopes to get approval. Good luck. --Z3ther (talk) 19:41, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
