Default Some problems...

1) No one answers me when I ask if I could be sysop.

2) No javascript

3) I think something is wrong with the upload because it won't let me upload some .png images.
Internal Error
Could not copy file "/tmp/phpQDM8L2" to "/home/asdalege/public_html/wiki/images/e/e4/Malcolm.png".

4) Please make images with transparent background (what I'm trying to do)

5) Can I be sysop?

We require you to have a certain amount of contributions to the wiki to have sysop powers aka the "Wiki Squad". You seem to know a lot about the wiki though so that is a good start.

There shouldn't be any problem with the upload. Try doing it now.

But I could contribute more if I'm sysop...

This is like leaving some guy barefoot in the middle of the desert.

EDIT: Upload is still giving errors.

Isn't that wikipedia's problem?
Maybe you should wait a bit and hopefully their problems resolve x))
good luck!

I'm a new member here myself, but I just couldn't resist posting (albeit borderline flaming) this...

Traditionally you don't ask to be sysop. People ask you.

2) No javascript
Any page with user-edittable content should never ever ever allow JavaScript, because doing so opens up nightmarish possibilities for cross-site injection attacks, ie, I grab all the data exposed to JavaScript (ie, cookies, request string, etc) and forward it to my own server, then have your machine send a request to the forums to spam the boards.

4) Please make images with transparent background (what I'm trying to do)
Unless the images are thumbnailed, add the transparency yourself.

5) Can I be sysop?
Seriously, why do you even need to be a sysop? Sure, there's a lot of functionality to be had, but honestly, anyone with sysop powers can basically nuke the wiki. Why should you have this power? What contributions have you made? What can you currently not do which you feel the need to do, and how will the contribute to the greater good?

If you need something changed (ie, a page deleted/moved) you should be able to easily contact a sysop on the forums/IRC and, assuming your request is reasonable, they'll probably be more than happy to do it for you.

I've contributed a lot, why would I "nuke" it along with my work? I just want to edit the navigation bar to some extent because editing wiki is fun. Yes, if I were a sysop I believe that fun for me will be even more great.
To show this somewhat, I've put most of the work I have done on my User page. Some parts in there have transitioned over to this wiki from another wiki site I've come across. I was a sysop of that wiki so I know to some extent what functionalities I can obtain, but never did I nuke it (By the way, I left that wiki because the game got boring). Getting back on topic, this page helps me to remember because I sure as hell don't want to remember all that coding. Anyways, think of it as a collection and as you all may have known in the past and now, collecting things is fun (Poke'mon, don't tell me you don't understand). People like collecting different things, don't call me weird because I like collecting my work.

Also, sure I could make the images transparent and all, but the problem was shown on my thread post where I said that there's some internal error upon uploading images.

Sorry, I'm just a bit of a pessimist and assume everyone is a malevolent user bent on world destruction and chaos D:

Also, the image uploads on the wiki are working fine for me (even with PNG-formatted images). Are you sure the problem is still there? If it is, it might be a problem on your end, either with your browser or the data you're attempting to upload :x

NP.

Probably my browser. I just took some .png images of the magic skills from some other site for my table/layout thingy. After I tried uploading them, it gave me errors...............Oh what the hell? It works now...
