 * I've mentioned this to Avatar. He's going to look into it. Angela (talk)

Fantendo.......again.
Sysop and admin, Vined has announced retirement and I don't want my powers anymore. Could you please demote both of us to normal users? Thanks- Henrydamoose


 * That's done. Angela (talk) 18:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Logo
OK, so I recently gained adminship of an inactive wiki, where I made a logo, customized the skin, and the sidebar. However, I can't figure out how to make the mini-logo that appears on the tab and the searchbar in Internet Explorer. How do I do that? – Arvan Swordwielder | Talk | Contributions 17:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a favicon. You can change it by uploading an image called favicon.ico. If you don't have software that can save an ico file, then chami.com is a useful site which can convert any image into a favicon. Angela (talk) 18:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Weird Al Wiki Again
I'm thinking about leaving wikia and putting the Weird Al Wiki elsewhere. Why? Because people are telling me it's to complicated. They want it to be Monobook. Why can't you just switch my wiki like you did with some others?  The thing  Talk 04:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I've replied at User talk:The thing. Angela (talk)
 * I've told my friends, and others on the the internet about the wiki. Two things people have told me they didn't like about were that they were used to the monobook skin, and they can't find the "Recent Changes" link.  The thing  Talk 14:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, that helps a little, but I don't completely understand why you switched to monaco in the first place. It looks more unprofessional and cluttered.  The thing  Talk 00:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Jwest72 of Sins wiki
My dear Queen Angela. I am Amy Cotton of the Sims, Final Fantasy, Ratchet and Clank and LightVDarkness wikis. We Sims fans have a big problem with fellow wikian named Jwest72. He created his own wiki with his "brothers" called Sins wiki and uses it to punish his enemies by banning them and bulling them. I am one of the victoms of his crime, and here to ask of you to put a stop to it. I am a rollback of the Sims wiki, admin of the Sims Fanon and LightVDarkness wikis, and a regular contributer to the Final Fantasy wiki. I have contated wikia about this, and a friend and I have set up a trap, but it failed because he found out. You are our last hope because he is an evil genious here. (Sorry, I am only 15 you know). Amy Cotton 12:36, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * But he is only doing things to me and not anybody else. Please do something Angela. He has vandalised my picture and said mean things to me. I ignored it and tried to tell the other wikis about the bully, but some have joined him without knowing what is going on. He only created the wiki to bully me. And one day, when I leave wikia, somebody else with the same problem. You don't want that to happen to wikia, right?
 * Right here Angela. But he just keeps on deleting whatever he wrote, so you need to look on History. Amy Cotton 13:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Now there is a wiki about me. A hate club who teases me about my whole life. This is the worst thing that has happened to me on wikia. And since I have autisom, some anger came out. Amy Cotton 13:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That wiki is queued for deletion and its creator can not make any more. Angela (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Angela for deleting it. But he could vandalise pages of many people, inclouding yours, for revenge of deleting his wikis. Plus one more right here. I'll tell you whenever he does something as large as a wiki again that needs your help. I Have my eyes on that troll. Amy Cotton 00:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Remove powers
As you can see on the Webkinz Wikia:the community has voted to remove some bureaucrat powers from users, could you please remove the powers from the users with more nos then yeses? I've already contacted Sannse and Uberfuzzy but they aren't responding and my due date to get this done is about...Yesterday-- Webkinz112 My talk page (haha, no link for you) 14:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Have you seen sannse's reply here? Angela (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I'm pretty sure I had moved on to Uberfuzzy by that time because I was on a deadline (yesterday)-- Webkinz112 My talk page (haha, no link for you) 16:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikia its messed up
^ &mdash;
 * Strike that i had wowwiki's skin selected and it messed it up. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]]

configure the interwiki link for zh-tw uncyclopedia
Dear Angela, our administrator discovered that although the domain uncyclopedia.tw (the Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia) is blocked in mainland China, the domain zh.uncyclopedia.info is not blocked (which is just another domain name for uncyclopedia.tw). May you adjust the interwiki zh-tw to point to zh.uncyclopedia.info instead of uncyclopedia.tw as a workaround for the blockage?

By the way, what is the status about unblocking zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com? --Leeyc0 06:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi Angela. I'm an admin at Wookieepedia, and I am interested in an IRC cloak. I was told to talk to you. My IRC name is ChackJadson. If you could create a cloak for me when you're free, I'd greatly apppreciate it. If there's any more information you need, please feel free to ask. Thank you. My talk page is here. Apologies if I was supposed to ask this elsewhere. 00:43, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

LightVDarkness wiki
I am Amy Cotton from the Sims and LightVDarkness wikis, like I said earlier right here. We are in need of a new logo over at the LVD wiki, and we can't find anybody to help out. Do you know somebody (who is a staff member if posibal) that can help with me? Amy Cotton 10:52, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Please see the Logo Creation Wiki if you'd like someone to help you create an image for your logo. Angela (talk) 11:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Angela for your help. I have been meaning to get rid of this wiki for a while now. I will just stick to other Pokemon fansites for now on. Amy Cotton 11:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Please
I've also put this on Uberfuzzy's talk page.

Ben 100022's sockpuppet (User:The Real Ben) deserves to be blocked wikia wide again. He has swore at many users of the Club Penguin wiki, created a nasty page here about me and also threatened to come back and vandalise on a deleted revision of this page:. I can get some people to sign if you don't believe me Miss Angela, but please take my request into consideration. This ex-vandal is clearly not a reform. A petition of people that want Ben blocked can be found [http://clubpenguin.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Get_Ben_blocked_Wikia_Wide_Campaign! here]. - Wompus78


 * Please send any Club Penguin related issues to staff using special:contact. Angela (talk) 08:12, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I would also sign the form, but I can't for some reason. I have Ben banned from my wiki due to this, to suport my fellow wikians. Lets hope for Ben to be banned from every wiki forever! Amy Cotton 11:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Administration
Angela, I do not think that the two of us have corresponded in the past, yet I would ask this question of you. On smaller wikis such as the Teen Titans wiki, would it be possible for one to become an administrator at all? If so, what would the requirements be? My thanks. Ralnon 21:29, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Possibly - please see adoption. Angela (talk) 08:12, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I Need Help
First of all, I want to create a new wiki but first I need to put my PIXAR Cars wiki up for adoption which I don't know how to do. Second of all, Koopa Bros. 98 gave up on the failing Disney Fanon Wiki. He wants that one up for adoption too. Could you do that for me?


 * There's nothing you need to do to put a wiki up for adoption. Anyone can start editing a wiki and later ask to adopt it if there are no active bureuacrats. If you know any forums relevant to the topic, then you could try asking there whether anyone would like to take on managing the wiki. Angela (talk) 06:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Can I still make a new wiki?


 * Yes, of course. Just visit special:createwiki and you can make one straight away. Angela (talk) 17:42, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks you Angela! Anyway, I can't update the logo (again...) for Starfy Fanon Wiki.


 * Fixed it. Now how do you make the background (I think its called skin) a different color.

Mark Everest
I have been bullied again by somebody called Mark Everest. I have proth here, here and here. Two are wikis he created, while the Peter Pan one he did not create, but I told an admin on him, the only problem is that the Peter Pan wiki has not been edited for a long time, and the admin does not contribute to wikia anymore. Please do something about this bully Angela. He could be Jwest72 under as a sockpuppet. Amy Cotton 02:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it would be best if you used special:contact so that all of these related issues could be tracked. Angela (talk) 06:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Even then that won't help, and I did nothing wrong to him. He is, for some reason, not bulling everyone else on the Sims wiki, but just calls me fat and says the F word. Amy Cotton 11:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Amy, it's funny becuase you got blocked on 3 other wikis for swearing, vandalism and SOCKPUPPETTING!!!. Funny stories... --Andrewrox 10:41, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikia:Licensing links
Hey Angela, I just wanted to let you know (in case you weren't aware) of the lack of Messaging Wiki MediaWiki:Copyrightpage/(language code) pages. There appears to be several languages uncreated for different languages (examples are fa, it, pl, etc) which create a problem in the copyright notice on those wikis "All contributions to Nonciclopedia are considered to be released under the CC-BY-SA (see [Template fetch failed for http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Wikia:Licensing?action=raw] for details).". I assume that the majority of languages don't have this yet (from the lack of even more common non-English) and just wanted to remind you :) Thanks. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  04:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing that out. It's because the default is wrong. It shouldn't have the brackets in there. I'll get that changed. Angela (talk) 05:49, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

...Wikia is aware...
Is this true ? I mean, the guy is saying that he has Wikia's permission to not abide to the central policy over protection. I think Wikia shouldn't give that kind of permission. On my part, i always hate when they comme to the central wikia forums asking for help with their main page but we can't do anything because it's protected. Next time i could just not care to help someone who protected the main page almost as soon as the wiki was created without any other good reason that main pages should always be protected. Tell me if i should revise my jugements. — TulipVorlax 18:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The founder is in contact with Jimmy about it so it is a special case. As Wikia starts hosting more and more wikis, there will be exceptions to the normal rules. For example, not everyone is under the same license, not everyone has the same sorts of ads, and so on. Angela (talk) 06:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Default interface language and bug
I have asked other users, they have similar results.

For example: The URL link of Special:Preferences displayed in pages is end with "Special:%E5%8F%82%E6%95%B0%E8%AE%BE%E7%BD%AE", decode as "Special:参数 设置", these are simplified Chinese characters.

It is not obvious issue, due to IE7 (or 8?) doesn't decode the URL, but Firefox could. However, it is not convenient for us input inner wiki links with simplified Chinese. Also, we prefer using English for these system links. I hope that the technical staff could fix this issue.

Thanks for attentions,

--疾風綾希 04:08, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why this is happening, but Avatar is looking into the problem. Angela (talk) 05:39, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Justice wanted
Can you please take a look at this, this, and this? Please reverse the damage that User:KickAssJedi has created. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Catherine is the person handling this issue. I suggest you use special:contact if you want to add any information about this problem. Angela (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I hope that the conflict is resolved soon. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 16:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Listen, eight users, including myself, have been unjustly blocked, and they've been blocked for a few days already. Those users are expecting me to resolve this matter in a timely matter. Unfortunately, I can't do this on my own. That is why I need help from users like you. Really, this injustice shouldn't last this long. If Catherine won't do anything, then I expect the aid of someone who will. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, please unblock me. I am the biggest contributor and a dedicated member of the wiki. KAJ blocked me for protesting against Xell Khaar. Michaeldsuarez and other users at the wiki can confirm this. I left a message at Catherine's page but she never answered. Darth Storm 16:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

User:Wikia mistake
Some time ago I translated User:Wikia, the welcome tool. I just found a small mistake I made; I also translated the links to Special: pages, and these only work on Dutch Wiki's, so they'll have to be changed to English. Tedjuh10 - Talk 18:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I've changed it here so it'll work on all wikis now. Angela (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
im sure you'll fix it but you might wanna move your page back where it belongs and block galore 2000... didnt want to try to revert, mess it up, and end up looking like a vandal as well. 01:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

FFWiki interwiki
I have found that when I try to link to three of the FFWiki wikis through interwikilinking, it won't work. PT, IT, and EO seem to not be connected to the other ten wikis. They all use the same URL style, with it definitely reading "finalfantasy", but they just won't work. So typing won't add the link to the Portuguese homepage, and typing  on the Portuguese wiki won't take you to the English homepage. And these three wikis aren't in a separate chain either, they're standalone wikis. Why is it broken? Can you fix that? 20:13, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Each new language needs to be manually added and that doesn't always happen until it's requested. I'll add them now but it can take a couple of days to take effect. Angela (talk) 21:24, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. 21:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Yotsuba wiki and Azumanga Daioh Wiki
Hello I was wondering if I there was a way to combine these two Wikis into the same Wiki? Because I am currently the head of the Azumanga Daioh Wiki and there is no active admin at the Yotsuba Wiki and hopeing to get both Wikis into the same Wiki. -- ☆Cool ピカチ  ュウ!  05:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll check on this. Angela (talk) 15:06, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you. -- ☆Cool ピカチ  ュウ!  21:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Any word yet? -- ☆Cool ピカチ  ュウ!  05:49, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Stargate Wiki
Hi Angela, I'm just gonna make a few questions about a young wiki. I'm sysop and bureaucrat of Stargate Wiki, wich was thought to be "Stargatepedia": will it change into that name, one day? And about the skin, I've set mine on "monobook", but the general one is still "Monaco". Could you please make the general skin be monobook as well? Many thanks! --Ophycloedius 08:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's better to keep the name Stargate Wiki as it will bring you more traffic from search engines. Lots of people search for stargate but not for stargatepedia. Angela (talk) 15:06, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. But what about the skin? --Ophycloedius 13:51, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Mortal Kombat
I was asking if you could do an our Spanish wikia in a wikia spotlight is es.mortalkombat.wikia.com please -- 'Andrea Gardea 14:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes. User:Zuirdj will do this. Do you have an image you'd like to use for this? Angela (talk) 15:06, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

This image, but I don't know if you need it without "Es.Wikia Destacada"... Thanks a lot =) -- 'Andrea Gardea 15:22, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Administration (cont.)
Angela, could it be possible for more than one user to become an administrator if there are hardly any other user, let alone administrator, active on the wiki (I am merely curious as to how many administrators can be active on one wiki, as some of the wikis I have been on have had many, over twenty in some)? What is the maximum number of administrators a wiki can have? Also, please, when might the adoption requests be assessed? Is the period of time usually within a month, roughly? My thanks. Ralnon 15:33, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * There is no limit to the number of admins. You may want to ping CatherineMunro to find out when an adoption request will be looked at. Angela (talk) 16:33, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

LightVDarkness Wiki
Me again. This is unfair since I now have seven enemies: Andrewrox (curently worst), Mark Everest, 1stclasswarrior, Wyvern777, ScatheMote, Jwest72 and the admin of the Kingdom Hearts wiki (Yowuza and Dabtowner are neutral). I have autisom, and they want me pernermently banned from wikia and my wiki (LightVDarkness Wiki) deleted. I have been in anger problems in most of the wikis I have been in (even in the Sims wiki over the Admin deleting what I wrote in some pages, an arguement with a fellow person and the battle with Andrewrox), but I am not blocked there, but I am in four wikis now (Pokemon wiki for standing up for somebody, Animal Crossing wiki in a small arguement with Yowuza, Kingdom Hearts wiki over complaning about everyone being my enemy, and the Final Fantasy wiki since they are a sister wiki with the KH wiki). I just don't want to be banned from any other wikis, and now I can no longer visit the FF wiki. I don't think autistic people should be on wikia at all. Please do something, since they juge me over things I can't help, and I have the anger autisom? Amy Cotton 15:57, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You aren't blocked on ACC anymore (unless... you've been reblocked...) YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 16:17, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not your enemy. I simply asked you to stop banning people out of spite. I never said anything to you that would make you my enemy. You deleted my comment, and flamed me for asking you to stop doing things out of spite, and then claimed "there will be a new FFwiki". You are making wikis for revenge. That's not the point of a wiki. They are supposed to be places for people to seek info, not to start a war. Scathe Mote 17:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * As with ScatheMote I am not your enemy either, I was just making a case that you shouldn't abuse your power as an admin, and that you should not make a wiki in a whole spite effort as its just not right the wikia's are meant to be a shared project in which people work together not compete to have a better wiki, even more so in a revenge effort. Wyvern777 17:54, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Additionally, you aren't banned, nor were you kicked out of the FFwiki. You left because we did not want to affiliate ourselves with your wiki. Scathe Mote 17:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This just never ends, does it? 16:07, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

SysOp request
This might sound like an odd request, and I understand if it isn't fulfilled, but I would like to request adminship of the Polish FFWiki. I'm not a SysOp of any current Final Fantasy wiki in any language, nor do I speak a word of Polish; which is why it must seem odd. I am however interwikilinking between all the languages, and at the same time, cleaning up the wiki.

Currently, there's no administration going on there. I know I can't add content, but I know how to manage a wiki. Also being a SysOp there will be encouragement for me to fix up the wiki, even if it is just with images. I have GoogleTranslate which helps me understand what everything is. I'm not sure I'll need BCrat powers tho'. 16:07, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Please
I am pernermently leaving wikia. Can you please delete my account since I have far too many problems and I am going to crack if my account is not deleted. I am blocked from all wikis, and I am forced to use IP everywhere I go. I have no choice but to give up wikia forever. Please delete my account, since I am curently the main problem on three wikis? Thank you and goodbye, Amy Cotton 07:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Custom logos
Hi Angela, On my home wiki, the Club Penguin Wiki, we all tend to want different logos, so it would be really great if you could make it so there would be a default logo, but editor's can replace it with an image that fits, (135 x 155px?), via their preferences. Please consider this!

Thanks,

--4th hale  (talk ) 09:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Angela, is it all right to create a Wiki for my own purposes? I have these characters I created, and I wanted to publish them somewhere. Thanks! --Bayoubash 09:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Vandal problem
Hey there Angela, I'm from the Kingdom Hearts wiki. I think you were there the other day dealing with a vandal? Well he/she's back, creating pages with dirty language and claiming he/she has an open proxy... or something like that. The admins there are currently offline, my guess it's time diferences. Could you please help us with this issue? He/she is a reocurring vandal who seems to have a personal dislike for out wiki. please help? --Yer mom 21:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
