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

Someone edited the weapons section and now stuff is missing. E.g. in the scopes section there is no Tundra etc.

Request for an extension

It would be great to enable the SimpleTooltip extension on this wiki.

Subdomain for czech version of the DayZ wiki

It will be nice to have Czech version on subdomain like the de, fr, and ru have.

There's so little translated right now, and mostly not even key pages. I'd like to see pages that are directly linked from the English main page translated. And are you volunteering to be the wiki admin? See Translation guidelines; we don't open subdomains unless we have a person willing to be the administrator. oOeyes User-Eyes-Sig 17:50, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

The discord link for the update project is expired. Can we get a new one posted?

Done! Thanks for the heads up. Lasyen (talk) 15:07, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Subdomain for Portuguese version of the DayZ wiki

Lately, i've been translating some articles to portuguese as an effort to help the portuguese-speaking DayZ community and make it grow. I would like some info about the possibility of the creation of a portuguese subdomain as soon as i translate some more. I would gladly volunteer to become the wiki admin.

Thanks!
