Image License Tag help
I've uploaded a bunch of images on my wiki (lorea.wikia.com) but I don't know which tag to put on them. They are all constructed from screenshots in the game, but they also have been significantly edited by myself (such as cleaning up bloodstains and piecing together different sections to create maps). I wasn't sure if I should use the "I took this picture myself" since 1) It's not a photo and 2) they used screenshots, which probably have their own licensing agreements and all. I might have used the screenshot tag that's used on Wikipedia, but it's not an option on my wiki and I don't know how to import it. Please assist! Mathwhiz90601 01:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hullo! You probably only need a copyright notice for the game developers. The screenshot template from Wikipedia is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Non-free_game_screenshot - you could probably just copy and tweak it. It certainly doesn't need to be quite as complex as the Wikipedia version. 11:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Editing Main Page Sections
Is there a way to edit the individual sections of the main page without having to edit the whole page and scroll down and finding the sections ?

I have removed the NOEDITSECTION with this comment    It makes the "Edit" button appear on the right but when you click Edit you get "There is no Section #" where # = 1 thru however many sections you have using the  and/or  templates.

 * Not really, as the headings are on a different page to the main page. If you moved the header code from the templates to the main page it could help - but it's generally safer to edit the whole page at once, so you can check nothing breaks. 11:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the heads up

thank you for the suggestion. trying to find the right combo of colors is really irritating me. and please answer the question i asked earlier.  PitchBlack696  (talk) 21:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok. can you please look at the message I left to angela and decide whether you will give me bureaucratic powers? I really do think I deserve it and will use its benefits for the better of the wiki.  PitchBlack696  (talk) 22:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Ah, thank you! question though, what are user groups?  PitchBlack696  (talk) 22:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

cratting?
Can I get cratship on the DF wiki? There are no active crats on it. Also, can I adopt it?

Zone of the enders wiki
First off: I'ver noticed in the past that Wki's have had been...lacking in areas...like for example the Soul cailbur wiki (and before that there were some missing in the Matrix one that I added that were helpful) was lacking at first and I helped get alot of stuff up on it. Second...the Gundam wiki.. helped alot there as well...well now I find an area that needs help more than I can give....or at least more than I alone can give..and this wiki is so lacking that it saddens me...I'm refering to the Zone of the Enders wiki. I've tried adding some articles myself..but I've realised that its so lacking its beyond me alone helping..so I have a request...would you be willing to help (or have somone who can help) expand the Zone of the enders wiki?

 * Fixed! 16:34, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I request assistance
Kirkburn, I recently asked Angela from Wiki Central to find out what had happened to my userpage on Halopedia. Even though she recontacted me, asking if the userpage was restored, she also had instructed me to contact you in the event my userpage was not restored. So, here we are, and I still do not have my userpage. If you can do anything, I would greatly appreciate it. '''Please Note: I have already contacted the admins of Halopedia of this matter, and one attempted to restore it. However, when he did, the page (and all its tabs at the top) refused to show up.'''

 * Looking into it! 16:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Mainpage on AoCWiki
Hey,

I don't have much to do with the main page as there's an ad inside the content I don't really visit it at all anymore, so there's not much I can do about it unless Wikia decides to go sane again, or at least sane enough to stop screwing it's editors.

Animal Crossing City Main Page
Hello, Kirkburn!

I'm one of the admins at the Animal Crossing Wikia. I remember a while ago (February) you offered to help work on the main page. Neither Aeryka nor myself are very good with main page design, so I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. Are there set standards I should follow, help pages, etc. that you know of? I'm pretty sure that with a guide I could figure things out. Thanks much! Stumpers 18:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * See response. :) 12:28, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Kirkbot, and attracting contributors
The Kirkbot isn't causing any problems.

I was reading http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Attracting_Contributors#Attracting_Contributors (actually, a while back, when it was on another wiki). I'm not blessed with social skills, so I don't really know how to promote. Do you have any pointers? Kimera 757 (talk) 01:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, talking to Blizz would be one - I am supposed to be in contact with the StarCraft rep, but I don't think I've had anything. I'll chase up on that. Apart from that, getting the knowledge out to fansites helps. I'll take a look into it tomorrow, see what we have set up, and who we know. 02:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Guildopedia Skin Change
You said on the Guildopedia discussion page that the wiki was going to have to be updated to a new skin. Why is this? Has it been tested with the current layout to make sure that it's easily browsable? The current skin on the Dofus wikia has its pluses and minuses, but the two wikis aren't interchangeable, nor should they use the same skin.--Travern 12:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * See back on wiki. 23:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Interlanguage Link
The interlanguage link to the TibiaWiki in Portuguese is not working. Four days ago you said on TibiaWiki's Talk:Main Page the pt will be added to the list, but it was not added.
