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.
  • 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.

Please post new topics at the bottom of Current Issues by clicking "edit source" right of it.

Main Page About Missing PS4[]

Hi, in the main page, in the About box the availability of the game on PS4 since 2018 is missing. FYI. -AgentMarcel 27 June 2021

Got it, thanks. -Grendal27 (talk) 03:16, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Story[]

The story page says it's unknown whether jessica filed the restraining order before or after megans death. This is not true because the restraining order specifically states that it applies to both jessica and megan, which would be unnecessary if she were already dead. The dates on the restraining order and autopsy report also seem to imply jessica was killed about 3 months after the restraining order was imposed, though the dates don't include the year99.24.169.139 12:44, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for noticing this! Sorry for the late response, but I took a closer look at both of the documents and it does seem clear it was before Megan's death. I've edited the Story page accordingly, with some additional notes. Grendal27 (talk) 21:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Pages Menu "Cannibals" Link[]

Appearently, the "Cannibals" Link in the sidebar is connected to the Category Cannibals instead of using a general overview page (Cannibal and Mutant) as the other links do. Why don't we change that? ;) — Alasclair (talk) 15:08, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

BUMP! That really could use a change. ^.^ --Himitherz (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Fixed it--Farket8238 (talk) 23:44, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

More Links in the Pages menu[]

It might make it easier to browse the wiki if the drop down menu on the side that lists Pages included Creatures, or listed Animals and Cannibals instead of just Animals. It might also be helpful for it to include Building and Crafting. I know they are an the main page, but I think it would be helpful to include it in the Pages drop down as well. (So people don't have to go to the main page every time they want to look through those). (Also, I didn't see anything that said 'Add topic'.) Thanks! --Avisia (talk) 04:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Apparently, they have all been added by now. :) -- Napoleon 9th (talk) 12:46, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Edit-protected[]

Template:SurvivalGuide is now fully protected, and this prevents users from updating it. Can it be made semi-protected (editable by auto-confirmed users only)? Thanks. -- Napoleon 9th (talk) 12:46, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Edit protection changed to auto-confirmed users. Brantmeierz(talk) 04:03, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

page grief? data removed and an advertisement placed?[]

hello sorry formerly forcedminer here...been forever since i logged in, I addded a ton edits and pages based off of useful experience with screenshots and all but it seems the page below http://theforest.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Stealth_Armor&oldid=26396 has been changed to a Russian advertisement and i can't seem to put it back as no past versions remain? my email told me a change has been made — Preceding unsigned comment added by EIRE MadHatter (talkcontribs) on 24 October 2016, at 12:52 (UTC)

Thanks for letting us know about this page. There aren't any previous versions of the talk page. Was there a talk page before or did you just get notified of its creation? If there was in fact a previous page, maybe consult Game widow. For now, I have blanked the page. Again, thanks for letting us know about this. Stijndh (talk)
forcedminer again yeah i'm 100% sure because i remember adding two images of the camo armor one with the player staring downwards to see the leafy armor and one the player examining it........any chance when accounts got merged old version were removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EIRE MadHatter (talkcontribs) on 24 October 2016, at 13:02 (UTC)

Apparently, "16:26, 24 October 2016 Stijndh (talk | contribs) deleted page Talk:Stealth Armor (Vandalism: content was: "Предлагаем Вам возможность работы в интернете, выбирайте самост...", and the only contributor was "172.68.10.59" ". Can an admin check the revision history on that Talk page? That page was empty before the grief (aka vandalism), so no contribution was lost. ;-)
Secondly, EIRE MadHatter, are you sure you meant the screenshots were on the talk page and not in the article itself? -- Napoleon 9th (talk) 08:39, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
