Edits problem
Hello Angela here I am again. There is a problem at our edits-count. GrouchMan saw it to, the Admin from the wikia. This is the Wikia:Grouches Wikia. What's the problem?--Station7 13:58, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * It looks ok to me. Can you explain what the problem is please? It would be really helpful if you could send a screenshot of the problem to the email address on special:contact. Angela (talk) 21:15, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Now, the problem is that GrouchMan has already more then 200 edits and i have more then 7 edits, I already had at least 20- edits.--Station7 14:38, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * According to his contribs list, GrouchMan has 121 edits. That's the number showing up on his userpage and the number he should see when he looks at Special:MyHome. If that's not the case, please can you email a screenshot to show what the problem is? Angela (talk) 23:08, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Checkpage
Who do I ask for approval on the AutoWikiBrowser checkpage? Thanks.  Darth Karika Please leave a message after the beep. *boom* 21:18, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure - I think you just need to ask on the talk page and someone will deal with it. Lots of people seem to be looking after the page. Angela (talk) 21:23, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Central admins and helpers usually do this. -- 22:03, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hi!

Flower-Power 07:31, February 2, 2010 (UTC)Flower-Power


 * I can't reply in Finnish, but if you leave a message in Finnish, I can try to help. Staff access is not something given to users - it's only for employees as I said above. Angela (talk) 23:09, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Small wikis
I would like to help remove vandalism from tiny wikis so that they can be free with vandalism, however I can not delete pages. Is there any way to semi adopt a wiki to remove the vandalism and then give back in the rights to delete? Thanks, 01:20, February 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * There isn't yet, but check out Help:SpamTaskForce. Sannse can give you more info on this if you need it. Angela (talk) 01:23, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

WikiAnswers for Avatar TLA and Avatar JC
Could you please create a English answer page for the various James Cameron Avatar wikis to link to, because currently they link up with the Animated TV series, not the CGI movie. I moved two questions, only thing is... there are two categories and I am not sure which one people are using, so I think it is best to start it over and make it more obvious. Bunai82


 * Thank you for the reply. Would this require talk with the Admins of the two different Wiki Pages? Or would JC_Avatar not really work? Bunai82


 * Also I started moving questions to Avatar Movie, I hope that is not a problem?


 * That's fine. Do you mean that JC_Avatar would be a better category name than Avatar movie? If so, I can set http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/ to send questions there instead. Angela (talk) 23:41, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, to me, it stands out and you know exactly what movie it is. And Google also picks up the abbrev very well. Bunai82 19:41, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, it's now set to wikianswers:Category:JC Avatar. Questions in the old category will need to be moved. Angela (talk) 04:58, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Will do, ^_^; though I hope people don't think I am trying to be rude or vandalizing. Anyway, thank you for the page creation. So doing this will cause English James Cameron Avatar wiki, to be linked to the JC Avatar answerwiki? Bunai82 20:26, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Questions shown in the widget on http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/ come from wikianswers:category:JC Avatar and if someone asks a question on that wiki it will go into that category. Angela (talk) 23:13, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oversighter and Checkuser
Hello lady! You can manage and I Checkuser rights and Oversight? For to be someone on these posts. Thank you. Misterr 10:29, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

And you could you please change the logo with a music symbol? Thank you. Misterr 11:37, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, oversight and checkuser aren't normally something handed out, if you have something that requires the use of these tools, you can send the request via Special:Contact.


 * For logos, are you having trouble uploading one or just needing a new one? Either way, Help:Logo ought to be helpful to you. -- 11:41, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

I put the picture! I said that I needed post for the Romanians know what that vandalism, we should be prepared. Misterr 11:58, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Special:RenameUser
I would ask you to create special page RenameUser. You'll need it. Thank you very much! Mistertalk 21:22, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * This isn't currently possible on Wikia since user accounts are used across all wikis. Angela (talk) 23:41, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

RomâniaWiki
Hello Angela! Could you give me an administrator and bureaucrat rights here? None of the administrators and bureaucrats are not active and I would like to dwell on this project. Thank you. Mistertalk 12:46, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please see adoption. Angela (talk) 04:58, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Personal attack/civility question
User:Mizu101, who was banned from Bully Wiki for personal attacks and tendentious editing now has a user page here on wikia central where he claims he was banned due to "corruption". Is this acceptable?  Mc JEFF  (talk) 21:21, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's best just to ignore him as long as he's not mentioning specific people. Angela (talk) 04:59, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks.  Mc JEFF  (talk) 14:41, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Request for WikiaWide permaban
I'm trying to leave Wikia behind, and I'd love a little push since I don't trust my little will-power alone. Of course, I'm not sure how you handle requests like this, and I wouldn't be too surprised if you didn't. But of course, if you don't I'll just end up vandalising as many different Wikia wikis as I can until I am. Your co-operation is appreciated. ; ) --ILHI 16:40, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * The easiest option is to scramble your password and remove the email address from your preferences. That way you won't be able to log in again. If you want someone else to scramble your password for you, just ask here. This is obviously irreversible. Angela (talk) 23:14, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia Community Team
I would like to be part of the Wiki Community Team please. If you want I could be "Main person to contact for Wikia Adoption or "A representive for Wikia" or anything you need. Just tell me your answer or what you want me to do. Thanks, TV Man, The TV King 16:01, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Only paid employees can be part of Wikia's staff. You would need to see Hiring, and there doesn't seem to be any openings for the community team on that page. -- 17:10, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * What about an Administrator? Thanks, TV Man, The TV King 19:23, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * An administrator for what? Wikia has nearly 80000 wikis, you may start looking around for content you're interested in and see how the communities operate. -- 19:31, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

If you're talking about being an administrator here on Community Central, then you have to be elected by the community in a request for adminship. If you mean an administrator elsewhere, then per Charitwo. Become involved in one of Wikia's numerous wikis and see if you can be elected there. If there's no active community there, then there's always the wiki adoption process. Good luck! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:51, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Sonic Fan Comic Wiki URL Change
Can you change the Sonic Fan Comic Wiki URL to scfcs.wikia.com ? I am the founder and we need [] that url to be scfcs.wikia.com -- The Gem Foxcoon Trio Emerald Ruby Sapphire!  20:41, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Sapphire, I just wanted to clear something up for you. While you are the founder of the wiki, you don't own it. No one person owns a wiki. Click here for more information on ownership on Wikia. Hope that helps! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * But can it be changed? -- The Gem Foxcoon Trio Emerald Ruby Sapphire!  20:55, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * The best thing you can do in order to get a quicker response to your request is to send it the community team as a whole via Special:Contact from your wiki. Tell them what you'd like the name to be changed to and why, and they'll be more than happy to consider it. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:58, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * URLs are better when they contain keywords related to the topic. It's much better for a URL to contain sonic than characters like scfcs as no one is searching on Google for scfcs so they won't find your wiki. Brandon is right that such configuration changes should be sent using special:contact but only after there is consensus within your wiki's community to make such a change.

Wikia Answers
Hi! For some time, we've had the Wikia Answers banner for disconnected users on Lostpedia-FR. But the questions asked are so ridiculous that we would prefer to have publicity (or nothing...). Is it possible? 21:38, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there a way it could be improved? For example, if the questions were just about Lost would that be ok? Angela (talk) 23:19, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * There aren't many French questions about Lost (4 in 3 months). But if you really want to let the Wikia Answers banner, maybe you could put the English questions. 23:48, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Forget it, sorry. As the French airing of Lost comes several months after the American airing, we don't want to have spoilers in the questions. Nevertheless, would it be ok if we let the banner but put it on the bottom of the pages? 17:42, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry to insist, but can you answer me? 23:55, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've asked cywil to look into this. He's left you a message here. We are also working on making the bad words lists work to prevent some of the bad questions being asked. Angela (talk) 02:30, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

RoWikicity
I need these permissions because you need to do a check of a user. Thank you.  Misterr Talk  12:37, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you need a user checked, please send the details to staff using special:contact. Help:CheckUser has more information on this. Angela (talk) 05:10, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Probleme grave

 * l'User:Charitwo a entreprit de détruire toutes les pages de descriptions des sites wikia ainssi que des catégories correspondantes, cela provoque un embouteillage vers le moteur de recherche de wikia et provoque son blocage comme cela est arriver hier soir, il c'est même payez le culot de detruire ma page utilisateur, que j'ai du reconstruir de zero, c'est inadmissible, je vous demande donc de le ramener a la raison dès que possible. recevez mes meilleurs salutations, Wikisoft* @@@-fr 09:56, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Those description pages are all being removed. Please see Kyle's blog about this. Angela (talk) 23:35, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Bureaucrat Request
Hello, I am Troycool, an Administrator of the Godzilla.wikia.com.

I was wondering if I could be granted bureaucrat access being that the current bureaucrat LordofMonsterIsland isn't that active due to school reasons I believe. I have been on the site for a full two years now and it would help out if I could obtain bureaucrat access now. Troycool


 * if you wish to adopt this wikia you must pst an adoption request here Owen1983 18:14, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Wiki on google
hello there I was wondering on how to get my Tatsunoko Vs Capcom on websites such as google so others can help me edit. I'm relatively new at this so can you please tell me.

Nathbud789


 * Google will automatically find it soon. The best thing to do at this stage is add lots of content so people are more like to find the wiki. You can also add links to it from related sites. See promotion and help:seo for some ideas. Angela (talk) 02:45, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Issues regarding plagerism on 2 GH sites.
Hi,

This Roak from General-hospital.wikia.com. I would just like to point out that ghsoap.wikia.com is using our material that we worked on for their site. We temporarily borrow material from Wikipedia and quickly and heavily edit the content to fit for our site. But that is not what the ghsoap is doing. Yesterday, I deleted the copied part of the Jossly jacks article on their site: http://ghsoap.wikia.com/index.php?title=Josslyn_Jacks&diff=3872&oldid=3871

The majority of the article (a huge section) was from us: http://general-hospital.wikia.com/wiki/Josslyn_Jacks

Unfortunatly, they blocked me. Can you please inform them that copying from Wikipedia is ok (PS: but I don't keep the content) but stealing from other wikis is wrong? Thank youu.--Leslie Roak 00:11, February 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's fine to reuse content from Wikipedia and most Wikia sites as long as the Licensing is adhered to. Using a template like template:wikipedia is one way to attribute the original authors and that can be adapted to say the content is from another wiki. Angela (talk) 02:30, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

WikiCity
Good afternoon! You can create and WikiCity in Spanish, I would take care of him. Thank you.  Misterr Talk  08:16, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
