SITENAME Change
Can you change the following wikis SITENAME?, cause they are in English and we want to translate them into Arabic: --Achraf94 14:59, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Stargate Wiki to ستارغيت ويكي
 * Lostpedia Wiki to لوستبيديا
 * Arabic Wiki to ويكيا
 * تونسبيديا - Tunispedia Wiki to تونس بيديا


 * You need to speak to the communities on those wikis first about whether they want to change name. If they agree, please send a link to the discussion to staff using special:contact. Angela (talk) 22:06, April 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I will talk to the community of Arabic Lostpedia, but since I am the only one on "Arabic Wiki" and the founder of "Stargate Wiki", I would like to change those two.--Achraf94 18:26, May 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you want to change the sitename and project namespace or only the sitename? Usually these 2 are the same. Before changing it, you must remove any pages that start with the new name. eg a page called ستارغيت ويكي:Something will disappear once the change is made. You should move it project:Something with no redirect and then wrote to special:contact to ask for this to be done. Angela (talk) 23:55, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have wrote to special:contact to ask for changing it including the project page namespace because that is the main reason for changing the sitename. --Achraf94 15:50, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, need some help

Am i allowed?
Well i created a wiki narutotube.wikia.com (Naruto Tube) if i can't do this then delete the wikia because then it has no point of it am i allowed to record video's of other websites or download videos of other websites and then put the videos on my wikia? No is the answer you a probaly saying because that is copy writing, but what about if i give credit to the website like say go to this website and see more videos and type in the websites address of the site. Can i do that? From $A$UKE


 * You can't upload a video to Wikia, but you can embed videos from certain sites that allow this. See Help:Video embed tool. Angela (talk) 23:55, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just happened upon this; you can upload videos to Wikia in  format. Hope this has helped, ~ Michael von Preußen (voicemail)

Function
Hi Angela! I have a question. Is posible replace a function (example: #header_mytalk) and change for other thing. I know that { display: none !important; } remove the function. But, how I can change it for something else? 19:11, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure. The best place to ask for help with that sort of thing is the forums. Angela (talk) 23:55, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Moving Cartoonipedia to Wikia
Link: Cartoonipedia

I would like to move Cartoonipedia, The Cartoon Wiki to Wikia. Although, does it make my wiki more "popular" to move it to Wikia? Thanks, Bigman602, The Cool Guy 00:04, May 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've left you a message on Cartoonipedia. Angela (talk) 00:13, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

I would like to help Wikia by mkin sure nobody is committing Vandalism, Spam and all kinds of bad things (esspecially on Wikis with no admins where there is chaos). If it is okay, I would like to be on it to no only help the Wikia Community, but the users of the Community. Thanks, Bigman602, The Cool Guy 01:10, May 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * sannse is the best person to talk to about the spam taskforce. Angela (talk) 01:21, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

My Avatar Wiki
For some reason when I type in the name of my Avatar wiki (http://avatar-thelastairbender.wikia.com/) it goes to (http://avatar.wikia.com/). I would like to happen to my wiki. Bigman602, The Cool Guy 04:19, May 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I suggest that you send a message to Uberfuzzy about this using Special:Contact. Angela (talk) 06:00, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Books in Wiki language?
Hi Angela,

I have a strange question. I was wondering if there are any books (like there are HTML books) about the Wiki language, because I can't really use the language. And would like to be able to do more with it.

Thank you,

Croon (Talk) - Dutch Central Wiki Administrator 20:18, May 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * There have been books written about using Wikipedia, and about using MediaWiki, but none specifically on wikitext. Have you tried looking through the tutorial? Or maybe try the Rich text editor instead so that you don't have to learn the wikitext at all? Angela (talk) 20:35, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Name change
Hi Angela, please tell me how can I change user name, I am Bereaucat on my Wiki. And, can you change name of make project from Историпедија Wiki to just Историпедија as http://sr.istorija.wikia.com is just Историјска енциклопедија, not including Wiki on its name. Thanks, Napoléon005 08:56, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * There isn't yet a tool to change username, but we hope to add this later in the year. Only staff can change the sitename of a wiki, so please send the URL of the wiki you want to change to staff using special:contact. Angela (talk) 21:54, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Is there a spanish helper team?
Self-explanatory. Archie 21:24, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, Playsonic2, Cizagna, and Bola have helper rights on Spanish wikis. Others, such as VegaDark are also involved in Spanish Wikia projects. Angela (talk) 21:54, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Archie 00:36, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Wikianswers User Pages
I went to check my userpage this day, and I noticed a new orange bar sitting blow the User Page~Discussion Page Box which gives a link to a User Wiki Page. Is there going to be a general transition from Talk/Discussion to User Wiki Page/User Social Pages?--Whiteguru 00:38, May 14, 2010 (UTC)Whiteguru


 * Which wiki are you seeing that on? I don't see it on the Central Answers site or the Green Answers site. It may help if you can upload a screenshot showing what you're seeing. Angela (talk) 00:56, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am seeing this on answers.wikia.com, like so:


 * w:c:answers:File:Userpage.jpg and w:c:answers:File:socialpage.jpg

- Whiteguru (Talk) 00:07, May 17, 2010 (UTC)Whiteguru
 * I think this is just an accident. I don't know why this is appearing and I don't see it there myself. Angela (talk) 00:40, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

I'm blocked for no reason
Hello Angela. I am a great contributor on The Sims Wiki. I woke up to find out I was blocked for no reason! It's true! I looked to see why, but, he gave no explanation, and he banned me for 1000 years. I refuse to wait that long to contribute! I spoke to him on Facebook, but, he wouldn't listen! I still don't know why I'm blocked, cause I am one of the biggest contributers there. Please Angela, can you do something? Archie 00:10, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please calm down and focus on another wiki for now. Playing blocking games is not what Wikia is for. Angela (talk) 00:40, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

yo
hey, angela. just got a quick question, miss.

um, ok, i just made a new wiki (Gnosticdudesawesome wiki), but the url, man, is REALLY, way 2 long, miss angela. like, who the heck's gonna wanna come, yo? plz, ms. angela...like, once, i think, there was this wikia, called runescape, i think, which i dont play anymore, but whatever...

i typed in rs.wikia, and it showed up at main page! but its url was at runescape.wikia.com. could i redirect MY wiki, too, miss angela? how? is there a button or something? ty much, ma'am! :) Gnosticdude22 22:09, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's best to use special:contact for changes to your wiki - don't forget to include the URL - but redirects are not usually added except for very active wikis, like RuneScape. Angela (talk) 22:26, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

How to change category?
Sorry to bother you. How can we change categories? [www.hu.carlos71.wikia.com Mine] is education at the moment, but I changed the sites profile to sports. I checked it everywhere, but I did not find it. Also my main page, which is redirected is messed up for some reason.Carlos71 13:09, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have changed the hub to sports. The best way to get changes like that made is to contact staff. It looks like your main page is fixed now. If you have any other problems with it, you can also get help on the forums. Angela (Help Forum, Blog) 21:28, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
