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:
- 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.
Current Issues
Requesting Page Lock/Protection From Anonymous Edits
Please consider preventing the page Admin Game Commands from being edited by anonymous users, or (preferably) locking it from edits except by myself, other frequent contributors or the game developers. It's being repeatedly edited to add repetitious (or inaccurate) information in a section where brevity is important (excessive verbosity only serves to confuse the meaning of each setting and grows the table unnecessarily). -- Willfe42 (talk) 10:52, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
Or you could just get into a discussion. Admins please review the history and make a fair decision. A public Wiki should not be the personal chalk board for some egos. My posted information is accurate and delivers information that a lot of people are looking for. Some need this "redundant" info to grasp the concept. Thank you. 195.202.128.25 11:09, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- There's no "ego" involved; what you've tried repeatedly to add to the page is literally just restating what's already on the page. Adding more words to say the same thing again doesn't help "clarify" anything. And if you wanted a discussion, you might have considered using the Talk:Admin_Game_Commands talk page for Admin Game Commands instead of repeating your edits several times after the first was reverted. This page (the admin noticeboard) isn't the place for editorial discussions. It's to discuss administrative issues, such as page vandalism via multiple reverts. -- Willfe42 (talk) 11:13, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
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)
Images
I've uploaded an image for the Refining Forge, once it was at a low resolution, but I fixed it and re-uploaded it. Now, after trying to revert changes and upload the hi-res version multiple times, I still can not get the wiki to use it the better one. Can someone delete all of the images except for the hi-res one, please. -- PicayuneCoterie (talk) 05:24, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- I made you an admin, with all your super contributions! Cheers! --Z3ther (talk) 21:41, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi just a small snippet of information I received from Gamewidow, the image issue is due to the way the curse servers cache the images. Uploading a new image will work, but can take some time to actually show on the Wiki. As an admin on the 7 Days to Die Wiki I have experienced this many times, so fear not, it is normal.Ecktos1 (talk) 14:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
CSS tweaks?
How does everyone else feel about the drop shadow effect on links? The text look blurry to me, I'd like for it to be dropped. ;) (Edit: Oops, fixed) --Doctor Arson (talk) 17:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Done. Also don't forget to sign your comments! --Z3ther (talk) 10:07, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- I liked it but it did look a little blurry if you can make the drop down shadow smaller i think it might improve it. --SharpShot gif (talk) 15:52, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Naming Conventions
I'm seeing a lot of back and forth on the pages. Should we use the Dino Dossier common name or the scientific for page names? Example: Dilophosaurus vs Dilophosaur or Tyrannosaurus vs Rex or T. rex --Doctor Arson (talk) 09:27, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- I'd go with the Dino Dossier names since those seem to be the most official in game. I'd say once we have one, redirect the other naming conventions to it and it's pretty simple there out. Anyone searching for it will automatically go to the correct page, rather than deleting and someone recreating the page all over again. --Z3ther (talk) 15:28, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Past Issues
Admin Commands
We all need a list of all admin commands or cheats !!ASAP!!
- I have an unverified list. Where am I putting it? - Gtoska, 04 JUN 2015 @ 0303
- Maybe Admin Game Commands would be a good page, if you want to start it? --Z3ther (talk) 15:52, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- This has been taken care of. Hurray! - Gtoska, 04 JUN 2015 @ 0011 UTC ... The page needs the information on how to set the admin password. - Gtoska (talk) 01:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)...
- Wouldn't it be easier to also be good to have what ones are working as of the moment?- D3vildos 04:15, 08 Jun 2015 (UTC)
- Absolutely, someone just needs to take the time to verify them and edit the page. - Gtoska (talk) 08:22, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok no problem I can confirm them a little later as I have my own server hosted plus found some unlisted commands, Is there a place where I can add also Dinosaur summon commands that are legit? there is item summons but not confirmed it to be working yet. D3vildos 03:09, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Duplicate Pages
We have 3 pages for the same thing Beacons, Supply Drops and Supply Crate I think we should use Beacons and have marked the others to be deleted. Can we get this page linked to on the home page please --SharpShot gif (talk) 14:28, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
