Hi, I've created a template to reduce vandalism on my wiki ,

Look at the code :
 * Everything works, the template , the parametres , etc ; but the problem is the page is not added to the category mentioned ; I want it to work like the delete template : please help ;


 * Should work if you remove the : before the Category:User Ban Requests--
 * Oh ! I never saw that ; thanks a lot :)

background images/100kb
Hey, we spent a bunch of time working on a kick A** background image for Camp Half Blood Roleplay wiki, but are running into problems with the whole 100k thing, is there a way around that? --BachLynn (Send an Owl! ) 02:38, April 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, The theme needs to be 100kb. If you want, you can have Logo Creation Wiki help. --


 * It doesn't have to be - you can upload an image directly to File:Wiki-wordmark.png, or fix it in with JS. The 100kb limit is a suggestion by the theme designer - as far as I know, there's no rule that it has to be 100kb.

"Format" layout blanking or disabling 2
I have disabled the layout selection. I want to make blank layout default. SiPlus 05:16, April 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia can do that for you if you ask via Special:Contact.

Polls
Can I have these polls beside one another ?

Thanks : --


 * How's that?
 * Man ! You are soooooo cool ! :)

Fb like
Hi i needed help. Is there a way to remove the facebook like button at the top of pages using CSS?  Music is my  Life  06:26,4/26/2011

Not for the whole site. Through personal CSS only, you can use .likes { display: none; } --
 * Thanks Godisme :)

Why did you.
Why did you delete my photo.


 * I don't recall deleting any photo of yours - are you sure it was me?

New Hacks
Got any new hacks? If you do, please give me a link on my talkpage. Mr. Grille (talk page) 11:28, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

AjaxRc
Has the new update screwed with any of your css or js? My ajax rc makes the page disappear and I wanted to see if you had similar problems before special:contacting it.--


 * I've also been getting that, Wikia may have changed the DOM up a bit. I'll have a look at it when I get home, and see if I can find the problem.

Remove "add an image" button galleries
Hi again. How do I remove the "add an image" button in galleries? Klow 18:55, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I think doing that wiki-wide is a ToU violation - although if you Special:Contact, you might be able to get Wikia to take it off.
 * They told me "There is a parameter you can add to make that button not show, but it has to be added to each gallery." and didn't say it violates the ToU. So, any idea? What's interesting is that I don't have the button anymore, how come? Klow 22:03, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't seem to find it anywhere - can you link to a page with one (or that had one)?


 * I've got this one for you MM45 :.. @Klow, use this "hideaddbutton=true" in the source mode of the gallery :)--


 * Mhh... Would it be possible to have "hideaddbutton=true" in the CSS?... Klow 14:52, May 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * That won't change anything, but it'll be easy to get the reference for the button if I can find one - I can't seem to see them.


 * I actually don't see them either, but I see in edit summaries "Editing a gallery", which suggests users still see a popup or something while adding pictures, without the "File" prefix and all. But how come we don't see it, then?... Klow 20:51, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you manage to find one, leave me another message. I couldn't see them when logged out or when changing a few prefs around, so I don't know why they aren't there.

Category
Hi MM45 :
 * 1) Aren't you feeling something wierd is going on in the chat room : I mean has the JS stopped working ?.. 'cause you know the alignment of the chat is really bad and I'm asking you this because you use the same JS as me, right ?
 * 2) I started using AutoWikiBrowser : to replace a category for specific pages in a category, we gotta enter the page names ; so how do we extract the page names : I dont think we should go the each page on the category and copy-paste the page names in on the AWB ;
 * Thanks !


 * The JS is working fine in chat, as far as I can tell. As for AWB, you can select "category", enter the name of the category you want, and hit "make list".
 * Thanks a lot ; but you know what ? I discovered a very stupid method for my Q.2 : Copy the names of the category to the notepad directly from the page ! :)

Time stamp
I know I'm using your user-talk very regularly, but I've got no choice ( and Lol :) ) .. The question is that the timestamp isn't working on the chat ; please check out my JS . thanks :)


 * The timestamps are in between revisions right now, I'm working on making them appear for everyone's posts on your end, instead of publishing them to the world.
 * So, You mean the stamps dont work currently ?
 * Right, they aren't working right now.

Chat .css killing
Is there anyway to kill the railbar to the right? A user requested it on my wiki. I was also wondering if only the join chat button could be placed at the top or under the username menu. vegeance 13:17, April 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * will do that.

AWB
One more thing ( if you dont mind :) ) .. Is it a must to "save" every edit explicitly while using AWB or is there a way to avoid it ?
 * I'm pretty sure you have to save each edit, just like you would save a normal edit.
 * Nope, you can go to the bot tab and get it to save automatically after so many seconds.--
 * Thanks ( both ! ) :)

SigReal
You should replace existing source code on your SigReal page with one below because always gets removed after saving page. But, he remeber it somehow. So, if you do not tell that it needs to be added manually (I added that step), people probably will not know that and their signature will not work. btw. I also put in source code. So, you just need to replace source code and save page. btw. My signature is working now. EDIT: If you decide to copy that source code directly from source code of this message. I test it and it is the only way.

This page is basically my signature. If you'd like, you can use this as your signature. Just follow the easy steps here: Note: If you decide to edit your SigReal page again, then make your edits and, before saving page, follow step 14 again.
 * 1) Click "Edit" or "View source code".
 * 2) Copy everything on this page.
 * 3) Go to your Userpage.
 * 4) Add "/SigReal" to the end of the URL in the URL bar.
 * 5) Click "Add content to this page" or "Edit".
 * 6) Paste what you copied here on that page.
 * 7) Look closely in the code you have pasted - wherever you see my name, change it to yours. Note: It may help to press Ctrl+F and type my name in the bar. This will highlight all the places where my name appears.
 * 8) My sig has a link to the wiki I use the most. You probably want to change that link to a wiki you use. To find the link, Ctrl+F and search "Skystone".
 * 9) Change "Skystone" (Right here and directly above) to the wiki you're linking to.
 * 10) Save the page.
 * 11) In the URL bar, change "/SigReal" to "/Sig".
 * 12) Copy the code on User:Monchoman45/Sig and paste it in your /Sig page.
 * 13) Change my name to yours.
 * 14) Edit your SigReal page (User:yourname/SigReal) again and put  between last 2 nbsp;s. Like this nbsp;  nbsp;
 * 15) Go to Special:Preferences. Under the "Custom Signature" heading, enter the following:  . (Omit the and   tags)
 * 16) Check the "Use custom signature" box and click save.
 * 17) You're done! Now when you sign, always use only three tildes.
 * 18) Got questions? Feel free to ask me here!

Email
Hi, me again ! how do we use the Special:EmailUser ?


 * Special:EmailUser/Usernamegoeshere. It only works if the user you are trying to reach has enabled emails from other users--
 * Thanks Godi !

Questions
Ya I know .., I'm filling 3-4ths of your talk, but I got a question : can we install a clock on any wiki ? ..another doubt - Is the spotlights page being veiwed by officials ? I'm asking 'cause the last edit there by an official was a week ago .thanks :)


 * Yes, a clock can be installed on any wiki. And staff will check the spotlights page when they get around to it - they probably have enough spotlights already anyway. When they need more, they'll get some from that page.
 * Is there a way to remove the "Hotspots" from a wiki ?

The clock is working ( in all other browsers except the Firefox ) .. but ur skystone wikia's clock works on my FF too !
 * You'd probably have to Special:Contact about the hotspots. Hopefully they'll say you can hide it with CSS.
 * Thanks :)

Toolbar
Which part of the js on the skystone wikia does this : whenever the mouse is hovered over the toolbar, it's different from other wikis .--


 * That's CSS, which should be under "Toolbar highlights" in MediaWiki:Wikia.css.
 * Thank u ,..I'm hell jealous of ur wiki :) .. I can copy the code right ? :) thanks

Sig
Hey. Your sig is awesome. I did the same (my sig), but it is only displayed correctly on my Wikia. On the other looks like this: 09:05, May 4, 2011 (UTC) Can you help me? I want my signature display correctly on all wikis. Thanks in advance.

 * You gotta create a sig on each wiki u work on, we all do the same :)


 * Yep - can't do interwiki transclusion with sigs, so you need to make a template for each wiki.

Hey Monchoman. Do you know if there is any way to change the number of images shown in the Latest Photos module that appears on the right hand side of an article?--Soul reaper 07:40, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
