Welcome
Hello, I am a community Manager here at Wikia. Please add new messages to the bottom, thanks :)

If you're looking for help, you can leave a message for me here or visit our help page. If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one!

Checkuser?
The wiki I run has frequently suffered attacks of vandalism. To prevent any vandals returning with different user names, I would like to gain checkuser status. Thank you for your time. --Swampert rox 21:04, April 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please contact us at Special:contact about this. Thanks, Sarah (talk 21:23, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to be a Burden
Hello. Listen you sort of skipped my adoption request. Its the Cure wiki one. Is there a problem or did you just miss it?-- 00:40, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * As I mentioned above, we will get to all requests. Thanks for the reminder, but it's best to just have patience as we work our way through the list. Best, Sarah (talk 21:26, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

How do I add namespaces?
Hi, you just made me admin/bureaucrat on The 4400 Wiki, I'd like to know how to add a namespace. The namespace I'd like to add is "Episode". Also, I'd like to remove the "Forum", "Video", and "Blog" namespaces. Is that possible? If you could do these for me, or if you could instruct me on how to do it, that would be appreciated. --Radster 04:20, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, its best to first read through our namespace help page, and then contact us at Special:Contact to get it added. Thanks, Sarah (talk 21:28, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Talkboxes
Hi, I'm Roxy13 from the Winx Club Wiki. Some of us recently started using talkboxes, and they work fine, but our talk pages are scooting farther and farther off to the side every time we use them. Do you know how to fix it? Or do you know someone who does? Any help would be much appreciated. Roxy13 - Dad, I'm a fairy! 12:45, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you give me an example? Do you mean the page is becoming too wide or long? I would also recommend posting this to the community forum. Best, Sarah (talk 19:49, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Would this be wrong?
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 need to check with the license of the content you are adding, and whether it allows you to re-share it and if it will work with the license on Wikia. You can read more on our license help page. If it appears not to work, please contact us at Special:Contact. Best, --Sarah (talk 19:52, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I need asistance
Hello I'm an anonymous user who used to edit Wookieepedia (The Star Wars Wiki) and was blocked unjustly, but that's not the problem. My problem is this: While I was on the IRC chanel (#wookieepedia-social) an admin, Toprawa (user:Toprawa and Ralltiir on Wookieepedia) tolled me to suck his balls and then said: "I know where you live". He also said other things but that is the most disturbing. Naturally I feel theretend by his words. Is ther anything you can do? Just to let you know, so your not suprised if you do a backround chek, or something like that, on me: I have been accused before of vairious things and have had many unplesant exchanges with other wikia personel, like Sansay for one.(did I spell that right?) I would greatly arpriciate any help. However, I wish to maintain as much anonymity as posible so please be discreat. I am an admin on The Random-Knowledge wiki (user:General Kenobe) so please direct your responce to my user talk their. Thank you.

Please forgive me for not signing.


 * Hello, we have not control over the IRC channels, and only monitor content that is written here on Wikia. If something like this occured here it is best to email us directly at Special:Contact. We can only recommend to not participate in that IRC channel if you feel it is a hostile environment for you. Best, Sarah (talk 20:44, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Wolfenstein_Wiki
Hello there. I put in a request to adopt the wolfenstein wiki and it was put on hold. The user who I believe was reviewing my request has not been on since the 28 of April (DaNASCAT). The wiki is now under going some vandalism and I am requesting at least admin rights to block the user and to delete the offensive files he/she is uploading. Thanks. --Kingclyde 23:14, May 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have given you the rights there (you can see on the adoption page). Enjoy, Sarah (talk 19:59, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

How to make people wikis
How do you make other people admins on wikis.HazeShot 05:31, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * You need to visit Special:UserRights on your wiki, enter the user's name and then check the box for admin. You can only do this if you are a bureaucrat. You can read through the Admin how to guide to learn more. Best of luck, Sarah (talk 18:00, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi I am drago99 the founder of the Golden Retriever Wiki

I am wondering on a how to create an about page and some templates.

Drago99 All work and no play makes drago a dull boy!! 01:23, May 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, you should read through out help pages on creating articles and are using templates. You may also want to post questions on our community forum, where lots of users participate. Best, Sarah (talk 17:23, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Toolbar
Hey, I have the wikia Lærkevej and I will ask you how I update the toolbar? Mesmermann 13:38, May 16, 2010 (UTC)




 * Is this showing up on your wiki or on other spots on Wikia? Since this is a Danish wiki, it appears the Rich Text Editor is not enabled because it's not translated yet. I can enable it for you, but it will appear in English. Just let me know here or at Special:contact. Best, Sarah (talk 17:20, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I would very much like that. Mesmermann 19:43, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have enabled the new editor for wiki. Happy editing, Sarah (talk 18:20, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Admin-Only Forum
Hello, Sarah. This question/suggestion might not belong here, but I hope you will give me an answer.

I am an Admin at the Ed, Edd n Eddy Wiki, and I was thinking that it would be nice to have a special forum that would only be visible by Admins. This way, Admins could discuss problems, troublesome editors, and other things that they don't necessarily want everyone else to see. Do you think this is a good idea? If so, is it possible to add it to the EEnE Wiki and maybe all Wikis? I think it might be helpful for Admins of all the communities. Let me know what you think! --Kirkland22 02:46, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, thanks for the idea. I think it could be helpful, but we don't offer that at this time. I will share your feedback though with the rest of the team! Thanks for all you rwork on Wikia, Sarah (talk 18:24, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

You're quite welcome! Thanks for sharing it with the rest of the staff! And it's just a suggestion, after all, if you feel that it's not necessary or won't be needed, then you don't have to create something like it. Of course, I think a lot of Wikis could benefit from it, especially the Admins. Thanks again, glad to have the opportunity to edit on Wikia. =] --Kirkland22 19:59, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Spongebob Fanon Wiki IRC
Can you please add the Spongebob Fanon Wiki IRC (#spongebob-fanon) to the IRC gateway, please. Bigman602, The Cool Guy 21:05, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately right now, we're not adding any additional channel to that list while we decide the future and design of that page. If you have a page on your wiki about IRC (like a place where you would be linking to irc.wikia.com),I can setup a direct login box on your wiki, so your users can go right into your IRC channel from your wiki. Best, Sarah (talk 18:26, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

WordGirl Wiki
Hi, Sarah, it's me Anakiniman. I asked you if I could adopt Wordgirl Wiki on the Adoption requests page and you told me to check with Loli-Wordgirl1, the most active user of Wordgirl Wiki. So I asked her, telling her the thing you told me about it would be best if we were both admins. She said yes on my talk page. I responded on the adoption requests page and you haven't replied yet on there. Please do. And please ignore the message about Loli-Wordgirl1 not responding; that is old. And since there is no active bureaucrat, please make us both bureaucrats.—Anakiniman 14:10, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I gave you both the rights. Enjoy, Sarah (talk 19:07, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Edits of Jeff G.
Sarah,

Hi, and thank you for your kind words in this and your other edits to Community Central:Adoption requests earlier today. Do you have a particular tool for finding which wikis a user has edited most? I know Wikimedia has three working ones (Luxo's contributions tool (GNU GPL), Pathoschild's Stalk toy (CC-BY 3.0), and Vvv's SUL utility (probably some open source license)). I would be happy to help more with the adoption requests.

Enjoy the rest of your day! — Jeff G. ツ 20:52, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Jeff, we do have a tool called Lookup Contribs, but its reserved for staff and helpers. Keep up the good work, its really helpful! Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:33, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Deception? Naruto is perceptive not deceptive
In the main naruto ... it has a heading DECEPTION... I'm pretty sure the word they want is PERCEPTION..

Carpenter83 02:07, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the message, but I am not familar with that wiki. It best to contact the local users there. Best of luck, Sarah (talk 21:12, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Deception ? Perception? Probably the best word is MISDIRECTION
Naruto is skillful at MISDIRECTION... much better word I think

http://wicca.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page (Re-added to Adoption requests page)
It's not the place for regular to erase requests. The Wicca request was erased. Please make sure other wikia adoption requests were not erased. Note: this doesn't mean I agree with the request, but I feel its the Wikia helpers place to determine that. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  03:54, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Apparently there is more to this than meets the eye. Please go to the Wicca wiki and check out the edits by Gybrikkyus Sal. He seems to be a vandal which now Jeff and I have undone his edits. Seems there is a attack underway here. Please address these issues. Thanks! Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  04:23, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. Fortunately, he was kind enough to make his posts members of a particular category. I would like to join Devilmanozzy in asking to adopt this wiki.  — Jeff G. ツ 05:30, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you both interested in this topic or just deleting the spam there? If there are no other active users, besides you both and the vandal, then it may be best close it. If you are interested, I am happy to give you the rights. Also, please remember, we have an adoption page! As listed above, reposting here only takes longer for me to reply, since I need to go to both places. Thanks, Sarah (talk 22:26, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

CCC wiki
Copied from Community Central:Adoption requests
 * I'd rather not edit as I don't care for the topic. I'd rather change this one as it was only used once to apparently host a report. I want it just for the address ccc.wikia.com as clackamascommunitycollege.wikia.com will most likely fail as a wiki because of its very long address. If it the work involved with changing it I am not worried and am prepared to make all the changes. I think this will be a much better to change that wiki rather than it just take up server space and take a address that is easy to remember. Please reconsider. Thank you. --Evil1888 06:16, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Can you please reconsider, I don't want to create a wiki that will just fail and waste time and increase server load. Thank you. -Evil1888 06:36, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, its best to just start a new wiki with a new name, since it will be on a completely different topic. Why don't you use ClackamasCollege.wikia.com? That way users will know exactly what the wiki is all about! Best, Sarah (talk 23:10, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * That would be too long of address for anyone to remember. Why do we use google? We could use wolfram alpha, it gives a much better answer to most searches but has a long-ish address. Why not rename community.wikia.com to communitycentral.wikia.com? Because it would be too long and no one would go to a place that requires them to type a long address, even if it was for the first visit. Also the current wiki (if you call what that is), it is near useless and if it had a hit meter it would probably be in the 20s (web crawlers would help that number rise). Anything would be better than being dead weight. I would make ClackamasCollege.wikia.com or any varation of that but that would fail and I don't want to waste my time of something that no one will use and the time could be better used to help something that matters or do my homework for that college.


 * I am working on a poster that would that go up around the school that would attract student to the site. This is how it would look (This is a very limited version):


 * Also if I were to change everything without the powers of a 'crat or a sysop, then could I have the powers after about 100 or so edit. (I have most of it designed on a .txt and would make short work of the change)


 * And if not, could it be closed as no ones is ever on it.


 * A response on my talk would be better as I did not know you answered and I thought you had just ignored me.


 * -Evil1888 03:48, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have left a message and will await a response. Evil1888 20:19, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is June 1 and I have not received a response nor has the founder made an edit on that wiki or any other wiki.

Sorry to bother
Hello, and I would like to know how to change the theme for Kuroshitsuji Wiki. :) It'll be nice if I can change the colors, to be matched with me new logo design. :) -- Red-yellow-striped-apple!! It's me. 04:43, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, you can learn about customizing your wiki skin on our help pages here: Help:Beyond_the_basics. It also has information about formatting, administration and much more. Remember, you can always post questions to the forum as well! Sarah (talk 23:14, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Picture
I have made a template in Lærkevej and I can't add a picture. I have uploaded it. Help me, please Mesmermann 13:06, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Mesmermann, Sarah asked me to take a look at this for you. What is happening is two things: First, in your template, you were making the image parameter be called instead of the equivalent in da. Also, when you are invoking a template, do not link the file like This.jpg but simply use This.jpg because of how the template was written (it already adds in the links). Hope this helps! --daNASCAT  23:56, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey daNASCAT, thank you for that. I have a problem with a template. Mesmermann 20:41, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey daNASCAT, thank you for that. I have a problem with a template. Mesmermann 20:41, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Problem at Ice Age wiki
There's this new editor at ice age wiki that has been blanking pages for no reason. I've requested that Karlamon9 blocks him indefintely. I reporting him to you, so maybe he learns his lesson. His user name is GODKING OF ICE CERBERUS WERE-GARURUMON. --ScratteLover2 00:04, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no real point of reporting this here. Its just a vandal. All you need to do is block them.  Manyman  Talk  10:18, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like they got blocked by SNA. Best, Sarah (talk 23:55, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Backgrounds
How do you edit/make a custom wikia background/theme?

do you need to be an admin?


 * If you want all visitors to your wiki to see the skin, then yes, you need to be an admin. You can control your personal preference across Wikia in your preferences. To learn how, its best to first read through our help pages. Then let me know what questions you have, or post to the forum. Best, Sarah (talk 00:07, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

DR Wiki Bureaucrats
I don't know if this question fits here, but I'm asking in hopes for an answer.

On the Dead Rising Wiki, there is one particular user who I think does not deserve his bureaucrat rights. His user name is Wikiar, and some of the regular users with no special rights have more edits and are better community members than he is. So what I'm asking is that you demote his rights, as he rarely edits once a month. I really have nothing personal against him, but I do not think someone who hardly ever edits deserves to have special priveliges. I messaged him on his talk page addressing this matter, and got no response. I messaged him about two weeks ago. If you can't do this for whatever reason, please respond.


 * Thank you very much,


 * Frank-West 18:21, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you spoken to other users aboout this? Its best to start a community discussion, and if there is concensus, then I can remove his rights. He may just need a friendly reminder and encouragement to become active again. I recommend doing that as well, then let me know here. Best of luck, Sarah (talk 00:11, May 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I have spoken to a few other users, and they agree that he should at least edit more. I actually heard back from him today, and he said: "Back off. It isn't easy watching a barely active wiki where barely any edits are made. I actually checked in periodaclly to clear out vandals and bad pages."
 * I didn't ask him in a rude way, and this response strikes me as slightly rude. Also this is untrue, as we have few vandal problems and and plenty of edits being made. The wiki is also quite active since me and some other users arrived, and it was a wreck before we were there. If I still have to start a discussion then I will, but I think that this at least gives you a little insight to it.
 * Thank you very much,


 * Frank-West 18:16, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Administrators and Bureaucrat are not intended to be editors but rather referees and cops. Their job is to resolve edit conflicts and wars between user's, although they have a perfect right to edit even though they are banned from making official decisions regarding their own work. Also, the number of edits a anyone has is not a sound basis for credit but rather the value of the work. imho 04:45, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I know that but this user hardly ever does anything. He doesn't do Bureau/Admin work, he doesn't edit and he rarely is even there. When he is he usually isn't very friendly in pointing out mistakes to people and is actually kind of rude.


 * Thank you,


 * Frank-West 12:32, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have a link to your discussion with the others? I would suggest just leaving this be for now. You are an admin there, so just continue the good work! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:30, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I guess so. I'll leave it alone and maybe start a forum post or something... Anyway, thanks a lot for responding! Hope the rest of your day goes well!


 * Thank you,


 * Frank-West 18:44, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that is the best way to move forward! Hope you have a great day as well! Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:35, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

You can also email us at Special:contact about changes like this to your wiki. Best, Sarah (talk 16:55, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

community versus academia
For a moment there I thought the articles index on my academia user page had been eradicated.

Your blog mentioned food and bicycling.

My conclusion is that while some exercise is necessary and beneficial, weight control is ultimately dependent upon not over eating.

To this end I have begun creating meals from combinations of user-chosen food products that conform to diet plans derived from existing and desired user body measurements submitted at http://e1.ij.net/eberhart/

You may be interested in helping to expand the list of available food products at http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_food_products from which users can select.

Are there any places in San Francisco that would welcome and accommodate a health smoothie bar and bicycle traffic, preferably near Berkley?


 * Hello, Thanks for the message, you may want to to the users on that wiki to ask for help, or check out our other wikis. We now have a healthy food recipes wiki. That might be a good place for you to get involved. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:39, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Wrong category
Hello, Sarah. I am a bureaucrat and creator http://ru.jackass.wikia.com. According to my mistake, this wiki is in the wrong category of "humor". But its content assumes the category of "entertaiment". Is it possible to change the category? If yes, how?

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks. Black Label 18:51, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, to be clear, you would like for your wiki to be in the entertainment hub? Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:03, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

A little project...
Hi, I just had a kindof idea for a little project that I hope to work on. Well, I think we all know that there are many wikis created each day. I looking at the new wiki list the other day, and realized that most become abandoned for others to fix. Well, I was thinking of looking over the list of wikis, and then adding them all to a list on Community Central on a page. I was thinking this is good because people can see abandoned wikis, and then help them out. If this is okay, I would be honored to help out! Thanks! - The&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;    Lunar   Eclipse
 * Hi, thanks for the idea. We have been brainstorming ways to improve our central main page, so I will add this to our list. If and when it gets going, I will let you know. Thanks for the suggestion! --Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:13, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

health recipes wiki utensils list

By the way does this site offer revenue sharing to contributors? imho 00:21, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

hi again sarah. still awaiting your response to my first question but i didn't expect a response in a half hour. I was just wondering, how can i become an admin on fistul wikia?

 * Hi, Sarah is likely busy. Staff do a little more than just handle adoption requests so an instant response to talk page messages isn't always possible. Adoption requests are also actually handled through the adoption page (this keeps adoption requests organized and in one place). If you leave a message there, someone from staff (not necessarily Sarah) will look at it sometime during the work week (they usually do them in batches, oldest to newest).


 * Keep up all your hard work, it will really pay off! -- 20:44, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep as Charitwo said, we are quite busy here. There are over 100,000 wikis on Wikia! The links he posted are the correct ones, so make a request there and we will be to it in a few days. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:43, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Can
Can you please review the adoption request for Iron Man wiki? I have built a team of five willing workers and want to get the wiki back in shape. Thanks, 19:52, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, it looks like Brandon as asked you to list the users. Best of answer him there. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Question
I have a question, friend Hallows13 had gotten an account, and whenever he edits something it looks differint from mine, like he can put templates on through edits and I can't.....why is that? is it a new feature that everyone will have, or only new users? What Comes Up Must come down....
 * It may be in some locations he is an admin, so he is able to make more changes to the wiki then you can. Without examples its hard to tell. You can post them here or on the help forum. Cheers, --Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if it's enough
About the italian One Piece wikia, i had to ask to Stenogo if he agrees with my "promotion". I asked him to tell it to me and even to you; now i see that he hasn't written anything on this page, while on my talk page he wrote a generic "i would be happy". Here's the link to my discussion. I hope it's enough. Goodbye. I forgot to say he obviously wrote in italian, do you understand italian? He wrote it in the first message. --Meganoide 18:38, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

And now he answered in the other paragraph "OP italian wiki". Meganoide 17:31, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, I have given you the rights. You can now promote Stenogo to admin as well. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:31, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Okami Wiki
Hey, all I'm asking is for adminship rights and possible bureaucrat rights on the Okami Wiki. Barely anyone uses it, and if I become an admin or possible bureaucrat on the wiki, it might possible improve. If you decline, then I respect your decision. But hey, thanks for reading this. The Yoshiman 97 01:54, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, we have a special page for adoption requests. Please post your request here. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:32, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

* facepalm* I can't believe I didn't see that. But thanks for responding to this! Have a great day! The Yoshiman 97 19:14, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:06, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Missing Ninja at wikia
In the characters section for this wikia I noticed there is one Iwagakure's ninja missing. A missing-nin per say hahaha. It is Akoki, a former chunin that left his village and suffers in manga n° 150 the rasengan's introduction into his stomach (by Jiraiya's hand). Hope this helps for its completion.

http://naruto.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:BrowseData/Characters&Loyalty=Iwagakure


 * Hello, best to let the local editors know about this. I generally support users as they create the content, so I won't be able to add another character there for you. Best of luck, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:08, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

How?
Hi!Can you please tell how to make make pages unable to edit by other users apart from the admin? Thanks in advance!Selutu 13:00, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're an admin, you can protect the article clicking the Protect button at the top of the article. Then you click Administrators only and Confirm. Cheers, -- ( (  (  (  Matias   )  )  )  )  ~  Talk   IRC  19:25, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, that is how, but we strongly discourage you from doing this unless the page is receiving a lot of vandalism. Open editing is what make wikis great and successful! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:12, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

User:A Nobody abusing admin tools on WikiLists for personal grudges
http://list.wikia.com/wiki/User:A_Nobody

This user is an admin on WikiLists, and he was recently banned on Wikipedia. Since then, he's started banning all of the users who supported his Wikipedia ban (without him giving any explanation other than that they "have a grudge against him"). This is a clear misuse of his admin tools:

 * He was warned and has stopped this behavior. Please leave the issue be. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Adoption
The snap circuits wiki is very bad. I work for snap circuits. I'm a good person to be an admin of snap circuits wiki. Put me in admin and brueacrat of snap circuits wiki. It will be a good wiki.Jeff Kuseski 22:33, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can apply to adopt a wiki here. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Question
I had just created the Buzz! Wiki (here is the link), and I was wondering if it worked out right. When I was creating it, for some reason I kept getting logged out of my account - though it was happening for about five to ten minutes before -, and it said that there was in error in creating it when it tried to. The thing is, it still created the wiki, but I don't know if everything worked. You were the person who automatically sends the wiki-creation messages to the user who created them, so I thought I would ask you. A.J. two 23:49, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like it worked. You still having issues with being logged out? Let me know. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm fine now. This is only the second time I remember it doing this; the first time was when I first made this account on Fanon Wiki. I am missing probably a hundred edits over there because I did them while I was anon. I only have the edits now because I just one day decided to test it again. To my relief, it worked. But thanks for looking at it. A.J. two 21:47, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Social Code
Sarah: is there an update as to when the social code will be back online? Thanks. 17:33, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * It should now be fixed. Are you still seeing problems? Please let me know where. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:43, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
This is user Chipmunks and I have a wiki called "MyNexus" I was wondering if you can help me template and the option Edit Menu.Knowing different codes and stuff to add links and pictue template and all would be nice.


 * Hi, its best to ask the community for this type of help on the help forum. Best of luck, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Dead Rising Wiki Again
Hello, it is Frank-West again. This is about a different matter though

One of our former users showed up for about a day and did a bunch of editing, saying stuff about how there was a poorly written version of our wiki that most people saw instead of ours. They said they would redirect it to ours, but instead vanished the next day and is now the only user editing at the fake wiki, as if they are trying to steal ours. I'm unsure if you can do anything about this, but I'm asking you to talk to them about this, since their wiki is poorly written and ours is doing well. The reason I'm concerned though is that when you search "dead rising" and similar terms on central Wikia, you get directed to his, which isn't the best one the community could be viewing. Me and some of the other users have messaged them asking why they did it, and got no reply. They are clearly able to see the messages since they have been editing most of the day, they are just choosing to ignore them. The fake wiki's address is http://dead-rising.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Rising_Wiki, and our wiki's address is the same but with no hyphen.

Please respond, and thank you.

Frank-West 01:05, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * EDIT: And the users name is Anno1404. I forgot to mention that. Frank-West
 * Hi Frank, Are they copying over your content, or writing their own? If they are writing their own, then its best to let them do so. We allow for there to be multiple wikis on the same topic. If the user may be problematic, they its often better to let them stay on their own wiki, rather then be on yours. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * They are writing mostly their own content, I've seen a few pages with some parts that are nearly the same as ours, but otherwise it's mostly original. It probably would work out if we just let them stay there since multiples are allowed. I didn't know that until now. Thanks,
 * Frank-West 18:35, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Disney Wiki
Hello and sorry to bother you but a user:JeremyCreek keeps changing my user page to something he would rather see. Also JeremyCreek only likes Disney comics and T.V. shows and changes everything around. No editor ever had problems until JerermyCreek came along. Can you please talk to him?


 * Hello, can you please sign your post and provide links? That way I know where you are talking about. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Mistake
Hi Sarah, we have a problem in The Warriors Wiki in Spanish. The bureaucrat was mistaken when he wrote the URL of the wiki and was wondering if you could move it to "es.thewarriors.wikia.com" which would be the correct URL. Thank you. GTAAAF 21:49 12 jun 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. They have adopted "es.thewarriors.wikia.com". --Bola (discusión) Helper de Wikia 13:27, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Unfair blocking
Sarah, I am a part of the demigods wiki. There is a user, StephanofTitans, who has very different opinions than most of the people on this wiki. He recently created his own wiki, the demititans wiki. I edited my user page on his wiki, but I said nothing particularly offensive. He has now blocked me for a year. The reason given was "intimidating behaviour/harassment". I have never sworn, threatened, or harassed anyone on any wikis. The block started 22:58, June 12, 2010, and will end 22:58, June 12, 2011. I think that this is totally unfair seeing as I didn't do anything. My suspicions are that he's really blocking me for having the opposite opinions of mine, and for being part of a group that he loathes, the demigods wiki. Please help me! --Avidreader1 01:12, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Andres Bonilla vuelve a las andadas
Pido disculpas de nuevo por escribir en español, pero mi nivel de inglés no es lo suficientemente alto para lo que quiero pedir.

El usuario Andres bonilla 196 ha cambiado el nombre de DialgaPedia por PKMN, a pesar de que gran parte de la comunidad no quería (puede comprobarlo en su blog, siguiendo este enlace) y ha cambiado el fondo sin consultarlo con nadie. Pero lo peor de todo es ésto: nos ha quitado los poderes a todos los administradores, excepto a Pokémon Shiny, Dialga palkia, Investigador Entrenador Pokémon, a él mismo y a una cuenta bot controlada por él. Nos ha dicho que tendremos que ganarnos los poderes que tanto nos costó conseguir de nuevo, o sea, que no nos los va a devolver (puede comprobarlo aquí). Por favor, haga algo con este usuario, ya es la segunda vez que abusa de sus poderes, y a todos los usuarios nos gustaría recuperar la tranquilidad que había anteriormente en DialgaPedia (o PKMN, el nuevo nombre que él le ha puesto), antes de que llegara él.

Firmado: Polo
 * @Sarah: If you haven't any problem, I will take care of this matter ;-)
 * @Víctor Alfaro Rudilla: Ok, le dejaré un mensaje en su discusión, en cualquier caso es parte de las políticas de Wikia que un burócrata no es el poseedor del wiki y tiene que escuchar a la comunidad, si abusa o incumple estos términos puede ser muy malo para él, le dejaré un mensaje para que no tome las decisiones de forma unilateral sin contar con vosotros. --Bola (discusión) Helper de Wikia 13:39, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Offer an HTML or PDF file convertion...
Although the Instructables erred in dropping HTML capability for regular members and by severely limiting it for "pro" memberships doing so almost killed the Instructables.

However, when they provided a PDF file conversion so you could take an article with you in printed form to the bench it may have been the only thing that saved them.

Another suggestion, Sarah. Don't fix it if it's not broke and by the way, we all know that "adoption" means providing a way for the shelter to rid itself of unwanted pets by granting medical research privilege to the university lab. imho 23:50, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, for product suggestions, best to contact us at Special:contact. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:54, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Community Contest
Hi Sarah, the user Siughius nominated a wiki using a discourse that does not have the consent of the community like. You could eliminate the nomination until we reach an agreement?

Thank you. GTAAAF 02:11 16 jun 2010 (UTC)
 * Done.--Bola (discusión) Helper de Wikia 04:58, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Admin on Doctor Who Answers
Hello. I'm a user on Doctor Who Answers as well as Doctor Who Wiki. The Doctor Who Answers doesn't seem to have an admin as there are several questions up for deletion for a while which haven't been taken care of. I was wondering if I could request admin rights for that answers site, or even if one of the other registered users who has made more edits than me gets rights, I just think we need one. Thanks for your time. The Thirteenth Doctor 19:28, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, we see our request on the adoptions page. It will get answered soon. Please be patient, we get a lot of requests! Best, Sarah


 * Yeah, I only noticed after I'd posted here. Thanks. --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:25, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Dr wiki bureaucrats
Hi, another admin from the Dead Rising wiki posted here about this problem.. we have a bureaucrat who doesn't do anything. He also does not get along with any of the members. All the other admins agree that he should have his status removed. Today the situation has gotten out of hand. He keeps starting edit wars with me. It's at the point where he is vandalizing the wiki. I can't even temp block him because he can just undo it. It would be in the best interest of the DR wiki if his bureaucrat rights were taken away. Thanks. - Ash Crimson 23:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I concur. You can read both of their talk pages if you need proof. And Ash didn't mention this, his user name is Wikiar.


 * Thank you, Frank-West 23:52, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dead Rising Wiki is the name of the site, both of them forgot about it. Ash Crimson's talk page after the incident, and Wikiar's talk page. I apologize for bombarding you with all this information. The Yoshiman 97 00:00, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have documented Frank-West's and Ash Crimson's pattern of behavior here:
 * User:Anno1404/Dead Rising dispute
 * Also, where can I do a check user on an anon account who vandalized a wiki? The anon had the same behavior and editing patterns as Frank-West did. Thank you for your time. Anno1404 02:55, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, Anno, you skipped around a hundred different times during all of thoses meesages. You also failed to point out any of the things you or Wikiar did wrong. Most of your facts are assumptions. The edit war Wikiar started wasn't over KSR's talk page. It was over an old forum post we didn't need. I also only deleted templates you made that we had no use for. The language I used was uncalled for.. but I am upset with you for leaving for no good reason and refusing to tell anyone. That's why whenever your mentioned I get annoyed. The rule on the wiki where an amin may have their status removed after a week of not editing is something everyone agreed to.. except Wikiar who didn't respond. Anyway, this Anno guy is trying to make it seem like I'm a bad admin.. which I'm not. I actually help the users on the site. Everybody has their bad moments. Anno apparently stalked my user contributions to find them all. - Ash Crimson
 * Pardon the sarcasm, but oh look, Anno swoops in like a vulture as soon as he can point out something we did wrong! This is not your business Anno, and we would have no reason to dislike you if you would only tell us why you left us in the first place. And what do you mean "had the same behavior pattern as me"? The only behavior I displayed on your wiki was asking some questions and pointing out to the community which wiki was the original. We DO all have bad moments... You just seem to be good at finding them. Also, half of the things you put in your "report" are not vandalism, insults, or anything. They aren't even your business and they don't relate to this topic. And he sent the one-week-admin messages TO THE ADMINS. The only people that would need to know about them. You said that the wiki you edit now was dead and that you would redirect it to ours, but no. You were a great editor, but now you seem to hate us. Which is why you probably jumped into this topic anyway, out of hate. (Spite, maybe?). Anyway, to conclude, lots of your report have nothing to do with this and are not poor behavior. And you don't have anything to do with this to begin with. On a lighter note, you probably would make a good lawyer. Frank-West 17:03, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Frank-West and Ash Crimson haven't you both blocked editors for much less than telling other editors to "fuck off"? Is this expected behavior of an Administrator and Bureaucrat?

Does saying:
 * 1) "fuck off",
 * 2)  "douche",
 * 3) "scrub",
 * 4) "spiteful vandal"
 * 5) "horrible admin"
 * 6) "He can go fuck himself for all I care."
 * 7) "creep"
 * 8) "immature"
 * 9) "grow up"
 * 10) "worthless edits"
 * 11) "creepy"
 * 12) "poor management"
 * 13) "That kind of attitude will kill a wiki"
 * 14) "I hate him"
 * 15) "traitor"
 * 16) "garbage"
 * 17) Defending an editor who says "dick sucking little bitchface all the fucking time. so while your fucking you star wars action figures"

Show that you both can "get along with people".

I have never called either of you a single name, or launched a single personal attack against either of you. Wikiar comments have never risen to the point of telling you two to "Fuck off". In addition to viciously attacking me, you have repeatedly started edit wars and arguments with founder Wikiar. Ash Crimson has repeatedly insulted Wikiar from his request to be an admin. Again: Is this expected behavior of an Administrator and Bureaucrat? Anno1404 19:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Numbers 12, 13, 14, and 15 are not insults. And I never said anything but 15 and 16, and you even said yourself that that wiki was in garbage condition. And no, we have not blocked people for much less than telling someone to fuck off. And how come you never seem to actually read our messages? You have completely ignored what I said in my last post here. If you would kindly address that, that would be much appreciated. And your suggestion for a probationary period would be fine, since we haven't really done anything wrong aside from the things you pointed out, so we'd be pretty much set. Frank-West 20:00, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can't say I've ever read the last one. Anyway, Anno this is none of your concern. This is completely unrelated to our Wikiar problem. You are not on our Wiki, so stay out of our business. Yes, I've said those things. Yes, I do not like you. Yes, I do see you as a traitor. That has nothing to do with Wikiar being a poor admin. You pick fifteen things I've done wrong out of, oh, 5000 edits. Good for you. Hey, Anno, you could look like an ass too if I wanted to pick a select handful of your comments. And most of those aren't insults anyway. "poor management" Oh no! I spoke the truth on the matter!! Please stop being spiteful and concern yourself with your wiki not ours. This person who now has nothing to do with our wiki and is spiteful over it is trying to make me out to be a horrible person.. When in actuality I'm actually quite nice (probably doesn't seem that way right now V_V). Anyway, can we please focus on what my admins and I came here for.. the Wikiar situation. Sorry for bringing all of this to your talk page. - Ash Crimson 20:39, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Admin Abuse on Dead Rising wiki
Ash Crimson is abusing his power as an admin by trying to block me and trying to say what I can and cannot put in my talk page. He is also trying to unblock somebody who was blocked for bad messages. Wikiar 23:15, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Update: Now it's getting to the point where I can't make a valid edit with everybody against me. Please, do something! Wikiar 23:16, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
