Just go to [[Special:Contact]], navigate to any of the choices that give you a free-form input box to fill out, and ask them to run a CheckUser report on the account(s) you suspect to be the same. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | Just go to [[Special:Contact]], navigate to any of the choices that give you a free-form input box to fill out, and ask them to run a CheckUser report on the account(s) you suspect to be the same. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}02:27: Thu 19 Jan 2012 </span> | ||

It's unlikely that you carefully assessed the situation at [[:file:zeroroom.png]] before you deleted it. It had several notes in several places showing that it was a file in current use. Because you deleted it, I had to take the time to restore it, and to go back into the CSS and change the URL. When you restore a pic, it's always at a different URL than before the deletion occurred. So it's not as simple as just restoring a file. I have to do ''additional'' work when I restore a file used by CSS. | It's unlikely that you carefully assessed the situation at [[:file:zeroroom.png]] before you deleted it.

[[Special:UnusedFiles]] is a useful tool, but it is ''not'' a list of files that ''need'' to be deleted. It's a list of files which do not meet the criteria of being "used". That doesn't mean they won't be in the future, or that they aren't being used in a non-traditional way. Remember, too, that [[Special:UnusedFiles]] uses ''cached'' results. Consequently, files can appear on the list which actually are ''currently'' linked. The linkage simply may have occurred after the report was generated. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | [[Special:UnusedFiles]] is a useful tool, but it is ''not'' a list of files that ''need'' to be deleted.

Please stop tripping the "advanced" navigation feature. It will require substantial work to theme it with CSS and I just don't have the time or inclination to do that right now. There's nothing wrong with the navigation we have presently. Thanks. :) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | Please stop tripping the "advanced" navigation feature.

I hadn't even noticed that the option went away. I have sent in a bug report to Wikia staff, explaining our particular need to have the option restored. I doubt they'll actually go for that. However, I do think they'll probably allow the trickle of people from here that need to be able to see hidden categories to request it be manually enabled by a staff member. I'll let you know what happens as soon as they reply. | I hadn't even noticed that the option went away.

All I know is that it ''is'' possible to see hidden categories still, because I see them daily. This indicates that the option still exists somewhere in the ''true'' user preference file, only a portion of which we operate through [[Special:Preferences]]. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | All I know is that it ''is'' possible to see hidden categories still, because I see them daily.
