User talk:Pullamosso

Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Pullamosso!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Help Desk. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- Angela (Talk) 13:12, 8 August 2009

Hikipedia
Hi Pullamosso. Wikia would be happy to provide hosting for Hikipedia. Moving has some details about moving a wiki to Wikia. If you have any questions about that, or special requests, the best way is to email me (angela at wikia.com). Angela (talk) 15:15, September 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * I would prefer talking here so that every Hikipedian (Moi mussukat!) could follow. There are surely things that will change inevitably and naturally we are scared to death because of them. Could you tell what those things will most likely be? --Pullamosso 12:12, September 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * There are basically 3 things that would change.
 * The URL would be something.wikia.com (you can choose any available subdomain)
 * Adverts would be added, but logged in users would not see these except on the home page
 * The default skin may need to change to monaco some time in the future.


 * Some users may need to change their username. That would only happen if there is an active user at Wikia with the same name already. You have over 9000 user accounts, so this would affect some people. We try not to let it affect admins or the most active users. (It would not likely apply to anyone reading this!)


 * Importantly, the wiki license does not change. All authors retain their own copyrights and the content remains available under the same Creative Commons license that you use already.


 * In terms of the software, we would try to keep any extensions you're already using and also make many more available to you as an option for the community to use if they want to. That does depend on them being safe. Looking at the current list, the only ones I've not heard of before are the APC cache and the Alexa one, so we'd need to make sure that these don't have any security vulnerabilities if you want to continue using them.


 * I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any concerns about the move.

 * Okay, thanks. But is it possible to maintain the default appearance as it is? --Pullamosso 07:39, September 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * For now, yes - the wiki could be on the monobook skin, but I can not promise it would stay that way forever, and it would include ads like the German edition does. Angela (talk) 23:17, September 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Why? We are very fond of it. It would be a great loss. --Pullamosso 15:17, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
