Extensions that we may or may not have that I think would be cool!

Just referencing these, so you don't forget about them.

KeepYourHandsToYourself - prevents users from editing other users' pages and subpages. This would probably prevent a lot of conflict. ~ Karuberu 14:33, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
ImageLink - allows you to make direct links with images, rather than having the image link to the image's page. This would be particularly useful for the tags ({{Rare}}, {{Exclusive}}, {{Information Needed}}, etc) and for the Main Page's announcement images. ~ Karuberu 15:08, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Error?
What's going on with recent changes, account hacked? --Wayka †Talk† 11:57, 16 September 2007 (CDT)
Error during conversion
I've noticed a couple things during conversion that may be errors or something else that I'm not sure about. I've seen it on Techno and Mierin's usernames get changed to FFXI-Techno and FFXI-Mierin, and their respective userpages were renamed to User:FFXI-FFXI-Techno and User:FFXI-FFXI-Mierin. Does wikia share user names which could of caused this or is it some other error? Just curious so you could check them out and move their userpages if necessary. --Wayka †Talk† 19:10, 19 September 2007 (EDT)
Article for Deletion
Please advise Charitwo to not jump to conclusions and automatically mark an Article for Deletion discussion as "resolved" without an adequate discussion. See Talk:White Mage Guide by Zero#Article for Deletion. The "discussion" lasted for about 2 minutes. --Wayka †Talk† 21:52, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Slander/Vandalism Page Concern
Hello, I'm hoping you can help out here. This page: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Vevla, in its contents and discussion as become a full-on flame and edit war. I've tried many times to mark it for deletion since the posted information concerns a player rather than an NM in the game. However, http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/User:Freezeoverride, the creator of the page keeps removing the flag. The image of the monster named Vevla may or may not be real. I don't know. Someone posted in the talk page that Vevla was, and I had originally thought so as well, but all my searches online on other websites have come up empty. If this NM truly exists then the page should be about the NM. If it doesn't then the page shouldn't exist at all. It's my understanding that an attempt to remove and block this page has already been made by one admin as mentioned here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Tahngarthor. I don't know what to do. I can't fix it. I really like using this wiki because it's usually free from this sort of thing. I find the idea of the integrity of this wiki coming undone distressing and would like to see it preserved as best as possible.

Need Help with a Persistant Vandal/Spammer
Right now it seems this wiki only has two active admins, one without the ability to ban people, and the other one very busy taking care of multiple wikis and forums. I'd say his plate is full since it takes him awhile to get back with us on the problems we have here. I understand the majority of you have moved on to bigger, brighter projects and I wish you all the best with them. However, many people still utilize this site and I hate to see all you guys have done here become undone due to one person.
Since I made my request on the VSTF site regarding spam filters placed on some key words and his outside link, he has begun to vandalize User:Toadie-odie, User:Karuberu, and User:Rhionhi User/Talk Pages - basically anyone that has tried to lock out or undo his spam. He has even gone so far as to impersonate admins and wikia staff with his user names.
His last user name was Semanticdrifterr. He is able to change his IP address, so he is never really permenantly banned from FFXIclopedia. So all we have been able to right now is request filter blocks for key pieces of his spam, undo the damage he creates on our user pages, report his behavior, and wait for someone to ban him again.
The VSTF crew has banned him for us, but I was wondering if this wiki could have a dedicated user appointed to admin status to help out User:Tahngarthor and User:Karuberu to protect the legacy of this wiki and to service the users that still use this site?
