Welcome
Welcome to Community Central, Knightrez!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Help Desk. If you need assistance from a member of staff, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please feel free to create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

re:Hub update
I have reverted your removal of the cars wiki from the top section on the HUB page as it is active. If I recall correctly I added your wiki to the HUB in the first place. You removing a 'competitor wiki' is not in the spirit of wikia and appropriate action for an admin.

The cars wiki may not be to your liking (but recall you have edited it in the past), but it was listed first & has as much right to be in the Hubs list as 'yours' in my opinion. Being negative to other 'similar wikis' will not get you more traffic or editors. Work at improving your site so it is better, 'borrow' ideas from other compatible licensed sites (CC by SA) but give due credit to the source of the data, images or templates, as remember others may copy yours aswell as I'm sure you would like the credit for your work.

Note: Both wikis have a poor record of licensing images in my opinion (from a random sample of pages and images on both), with few if any images having any copyright license tag at all and company logos copyright not acknowledged. - See Community Central:Copyrights - Help:Image copyright tags for more info.

 * Because the wiki seems trashed and no one seems to manage it or use it. The wiki should be deleted --Knighrez(Talk) 02:10, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * reply also posted with message on my page
 * There are loads of wikis like that waiting for some one to come along and clean them up & adopt them. I tidied it up abit ages ago by fixing a few missing templates, as i have done with several random wiki. people come and go from wikis. (there are thousands of 'dead' wikis) I looked at working on it but have then decided to concentrate on 'my' wiki which now includes cars but but in a different way as it is classic cars show with the tractors and steam engines that are the main subject of my wiki, but were also built by the same companies in many cases.


 * When i found yours i added it to the Hub, as wikia no longer adds them (too many are started now and never get past a few pages) Yours looked like a more serious attempt so I added it, as the Auto hub looks rather neglected IMO by Wikia. A wiki is what the users make it (be they casual user or dedicated editors) who spent time building it and setting out guidelines, as to content and style etc for a community to develop. Unless it offers something different the serious editors on the subject will tend go to wikipedia which is more established.


 * You can ask wikia to delete it but that is very unlikely to happen unless it is full of spam and problem material as Wikia inc is partially about growth in numbers of sites not quality - BulldozerD11 10:21, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
