Please add your questions not currently in the FAQ below. Hopefully beta testers or Wikia staff will answer them.

Once the questions are answered and edited for grammar and spelling, I (or someone else) will move them to Wikia’s new look - User Qs. At some point I'll ask Wikia staff to move them from there to the FAQ or just transclude it to the bottom of the page.
