New language for ikariam Wiky
Good Morning,

sorry to bother i surfed a lot of pages in a desperate search of someone who can help me but i was not able to find.

I am an ikariam player and i find the wikia on that subject very usefull. I would like to translate it in italian (i am italian)

The questions is: can i do it? Must i ask the permission to someone? Which steps must i follow?.

I thought to edit the english page and write it into italian, but i fear to overwrite the english one....

My e-mail adress is: if_then_else@live.it

Many thanks for your help.

Nicolò

MediaWiki
Hello Catherine! I am not sure if this is the place to ask, but is there a list of all the MediaWiki pages?
 * Is this what you mean? JCM (talk&middot;edits) 01:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think he means the list of system messages and/or the [ list of pages in the MediaWiki namespace]. - Adan Aileron (talk) 02:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I meant for instance MediaWiki:Recentchangestext or MediaWiki:About for example. --Balistic Pve (T/C/E) 00:14, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Adan has it right -- Special:Allmessages has all the MW messages that make up the interface, while Special:Allpages, set to the "MediaWiki" namespace will include everything. — Catherine (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

d20NPCs wiki 'abandoned'?
Catherine, a recent change of yours to the description of the d20NPCs wiki indicated that the wiki was inactive/abandoned. Was that a mistake included with updating the format of that page? According to the information about abandoned wikis, that notice would have been put on the main page of the wiki as well, and I don't see that there. I have not personally added content in a while, but the wiki has been active and I daily monitor the recent changes for spam/vandalism/people with questions. So, I've removed the 'abandoned' tag off the description page for the d20NPCs wiki, as I intent to still be active on that wiki. --MidnightLightning 17:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It was a copy-and-paste mistake made when I was updating to the new template format for description pages -- my apologies, and thanks for fixing it! — Catherine (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Foldabots Wiki
Uhhh, can you change Foldabots Wiki name to Foldapedia? Thanks in advance. - The Pirate  Ahoy! Talk T' Th' Pirate 12:28, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It can be done if you really want it, but it might make your project harder for readers to find. We have found that wikis get a lot more visitors if the wiki title includes the proper name of the topic -- that is, the words most people are likely to type into a search box when they want information on the topic.  Do you still want to change it?  — Catherine (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I fixed the problem, but when I protect the main page to only sysops I can't edit it.

Yes. I want to change the name of Foldabots Wiki. 'Cause I'm gonna make a logo that says:Foldapedia the Foldabots Wiki. By the way I didn't message the thing above.

Creating a wikia
Hi Catherine, Im from portugal and i trying to create the wikia for a group of investigators for my university and i tried but is always been turn down, but we are very specific, we make invastigation e a wide rage of themes because e make study's in anthropologie and Philosophie and history.

Sorry for my english tanks for the aproval o my request (Macanckor 22:16, 22 November 2008 (UTC))


 * Wikia doesn't host general encyclopedias that cover all topics -- for that you will want to contribute to http://pt.wikipedia.org


 * You might also want to create a mini-wiki for your group at http://scratchpad.wikia.com or http://borrador.wikia.com . If it is a university group, you may create as many pages as you want at http://educacao.wikia.com


 * Otherwise, please try to submit a new request which explains very clearly (in your own language) what specific topic you want to discuss. User:Zuirdj speaks Spanish and Portuguese so if you submit something which falls within our Wikia creation policy, we should be able to approve it.  Thank you!  — Catherine (talk) 00:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Removing the add on main page?
Hi, I just wanted to know. Is there some way to remove the advertisements banners that are on the top of the main page of my wiki? Is it allowed? I don't know if there is some advertisement policy that makes them mandatory or something. I don't have anything against them, well, I didn't until it started showing adds for some rather disgusting stuff. Like for uhm... enhancements of certain male organs and what not. And I can't say its very appealing to go to a wiki and see a big flashing banner that asks if you want to make said organs bigger in big bright flashing letters. So now, I just want it gone, to avoid this in the future. Thanks in advance. Feel free to use my talk page on my wiki. Located here. FireDragonArmy 12:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Proposal Section

LEGO Fanon
Sorry, but can you please go to Lego Fanon and unprotect its main page? The main page was vandalized by an administrator with only two bad-faith edits. Minimariolover10 is known for angry personal attacks there and was blocked due to that, so I don't know why they made him an administrator. Although Minimariolover10 is now inactive, he should have his administrative rights removed since I'm not sure what he did to deserve those rights to begin with. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 06:46, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Green Lantern Wiki
Hi CatherineMunro its Rod12 I'm here asking you if I can adopt and have the admin rights to the Green Lantern Wiki. The reason why I'm asking is the user that creator of the site originally hasn't been on the site in ages and he hasn't done any editing in ages. Also the editing on the site has slowed down and I want to try and pick it back up and improve the site more. I've been wanting to adopt this site for a long time because the user who created the site doesn't seem committed enough to want and see it improve and I real want to see it improve. This site will also help me because I can now have Green Arrow, Green Lantern and The Flash all connected because in the comic books there all known for being best friends and there always seen in the comics together. On my other sites The Martian Manhunter site has a total of 112 articles/pages and the site is starting to grow with other users coming and the same goes for my other two site The Flash site with 216 total articles/pages and the Green Arrow site my very first site has a total of 166 total articles an pages. My friend and partner on all these sites user Doomlurker will be the main one helping me improve the site and since the site does have alot of user on the site just not of them doing work recently hopefully with this change they will help in the improvement of the site and other new users will join as well. Hopefully you will allow me to adopt and have the admin rights to the Green Lantern wiki site because I'm excited at the idea of improving the site and bring it back to life. Well I'll be looking forward to hereing your response if you need to send me a message on my talk page you can do it on the Green Arrow, The Flash or The Martian Manhunter sites. Well talk to you later and thanks again.

From Rod12

Wonder Woman Wiki
It has gone inactive and I would like to acquire admin rights so i can improve it further. The current admin is never online and there is only so much i can do to improve it as a user not an admin. If you allow me to be admin i will do my very best to improve the wiki to the standard of the other wikis that i am admin of. As I am admin of the Batman Wiki I think it is logical for me to adopt Wonder Woman because of the DC Trinity and as the original creator appears to be uninterested in working on the site I would be pleased by being given admin rights. I will try and get members of my Batman community to edit Wonder Woman so the Wonder Woman community will increase. I look forward to hearing what you decide.

Thanks, Doomlurker 19:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

User rights management
Hi CatherineMunro,


 * I was recently going through the User rights management on the Rome Total War wiki and have noticed that even though I'm an Administrator and a Bureaucrat not all functions are available. Such as changing an editor into a Bot or an Administrator, could this be enabled as it should have when I gained the Bureaucrat flag from the founder. Dark  Obsidian   19:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Interface change
Do you know why the editing interface for looking at history was changed from "Previous diff" and "Next diff" to "Older edit" and "Newer edit" respectively, and what other changes occured a few weeks ago during maintenance? This is just my opinion, but the way I like it best is how Wikipedia has it with "Previous edit" and "Next edit". Would it be possible for Wikia to adopt that? Thanks. -- Energy bend  er  21:25, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Club Penguin Fanon Wikia
Dear Sir/Madam,

I concur to the action of Club Penguin Fanon receiving spotlight. I am a user at Club Penguin Fanon and I believe it is not ready for spotlight yet. If you disagree with the webmaster (who is Happyface141), he will put you on a strike, and does childish actions to get his way. Also, there are a lot of restrictions with articles. If it is not related to one particular article known as the USA, it is downgraded and ridiculed, and then claiming that it needs more club penguin in the article. Club Penguin Fanon needs to broaden their horizons beyond one article, and allow new users to explore their minds and let their imaginations go wild. Happyface141 appears as threatening, and unfriendly to some users. Checking on the block list, a user has been blocked for one day, and I will quote the reason; "bad grammer" this is hypocrisy, as it is spellt grammar.

In my opinion, Club Penguin Fanon needs to improve on the following things;
 * Tolerance (This is a major issue, disputes should be settled via calm talking NOT by blocking/deletion. Blocking/deletion should only be used as a last resort, or if a user persists. Threatening people and unfair punishment will only get a negative reaction, and will make the user do repeat offenses.)
 * Reduce Limits (Another major issue, new users will come to write new articles and if it is deemed as low quality because it does not contain the USA, this may put them off.)
 * Power (This issue is based solely on the webmasters themselves. The webmasters are in a position of power. Using that power requires you to maintain the wikia to a high standard, not going on a block/delete parade. Webmasters administrative powers should only be used in dire situations.)

Once these issues have been fixed, I am confident that Club Penguin Fanon Wikia will be a successful candidate for a spotlight.

Yours, POGOPUNK32 12:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I think we are already improving. Maybe in a month we will be applied for a Spotlight. Dancing Penguin http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/clubpenguin/images/6/6c/Smile_spin.gif (Talk!) 19:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Bot or not ?
I've been using AutowikiBrowser to change a "word" in many pages on fr.3d.wikia.com today and i discovered something weird. The software (AWB) say that my bot account (Vorlax1) has the bot flag, this is ok, but it doesn't show as a bot in the recents changes on fr.3d. It's not urgent matter, but i'd be glad when you find the time to check this minor problem (or ask another staff to check it out). Aside from that, all seems to work as is should with AWB and Vorlax1 on fr.3d. Thanks. — TulipVorlax 00:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

prob on the mash wiki
Helo, I seem to have a prob on the mash wiki I was looking around being fan of mash and I noticed that some of the pages were copped from Wikipedia with no sine of them giving credit to Wikipedia. So I told the head administrator about this being a violating of copy rights and he said this me this on my talk on a other wikia  User talk:Wilberj.wene I went back to the mash wikia to post this User talk:Wiezorek James that’s wend I frowned out I was blocked.

Club Penguin Wiki Crisis
Hello, I'm 4th hale, one of the sysops at the CPW.

Could you please come over and sort us out? Our co-webmaster, TurtleShroom, has declared himself a dictator, and he and the Turtlenators or something of the like, who are supposed to be his loyalists are bombarding all the people who oppose the dictatorship with unpleasant messages, notably Alex White. Barkjon, the other Co-webmaster hopes TurtleShroom is joking about this whole Dictatorship thing but I really don't know what's happening. First TurtleShroom deleted the rules, which were constantly being complained about, as they prohibeted homsexuals from editing the wiki as well as that Satanists could not say they were Satanists. In a nutshell, rules extracted from he bible. Then he uploaded a picture that said "The Turtle has no right to rule", then after a while uploaded a picture that stated something along the lines of Webmaster Dictator Turtleshroom: You can't get rid of me that easily! The Turtlenators now constantly now say "Hail TurtleShroom"!

Extracted from his User page:

My New Title:

Absoulte Energie, der gefürchtete Schildkröte-Pilz, Diktator der Penguin-Enzyklopädie

That's German for "The Absoulte energy, the feared turtle mushroom, dictator of the Penguin encyclopedia".

This all seems a bit Nazi, so please come over and help us out! It's gonna be a wikia war soon with all this dictatorship stuff. I'm not trying to get TurtleShroom in trouble, but this has to stop. --<font face="papyrus" color="007BA7">4th hale  (<font face="papyrus" color="007BA7">talk ) 15:29, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

merging two wikia
Dear Catherine Munro,

As far as I can tell, the both talk about exactly the same subject. But I suspect the people at each wiki don't even know about each other.
 * "Image Processing Wiki" http://imageprocess.wikia.com/
 * "Computer Vision Wikia" http://computervision.wikia.com/

What can you and I do to encourage the people of each wiki to work together with the people from the other wiki ( BarnRaising), rather than stay in their own little wiki: WalledGarden ? I'm tempted to unilaterally merge all the content from one wiki into the other, leaving behind a big sign "We've moved to ..." with a link to the other wiki. --DavidCary 16:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Catherine. Does wikia support CNAME ref? We'd like to point wiki.livekick.com at http://livekick.wikia.com/wiki/Livekick_Wiki via CNAME so we can keep our branding in the URL. Is this supported?

Thanks,

Two questions
Hey,

Firstly, on the wikia site I founded: http://civrevolution.wikia.com; I would like to have a little message at the bottom of the editing pages reminding people to enter a summary but I don't know how to do it.

Secondly, I've just started editing at http://infiniteundiscovery.wikia.com which look completely unactive; however there doesn't seem to be any way to get a rich text editing box, like I have on the other wikia. I know I can't ask for admin rights on this wikia site for another 2 months or so, but is there any way you can get a rich text editing box (I think that's what it's called) to appear on the infinite undiscovery wikia as I find those to be continually useful, especially for first time users.

Any help is much appreciated;

Merge
I'm an administrator on SWGames and we'd like to arrange a merge of the innactive, partially vandalised, and small Star Wars Battlegrounds wiki. On SWGames we have no information really on the battlegrounds series, and would benefit from a merge, whereas the battlegrounds wiki isn't doing anything at all. I didn't bother opening a forum on the site as no one has edited (excluding anons vandalising pages) in a very long time. Hunterj | My talk 19:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, the Star Wars: Battlefront wiki merged with us a very long time ago, over a year ago, and some users are occasionally editing the site. Is it possible to stop people from editing the site? We would prefer not to have the site simply redirect yet, as some information (we think) was missed in the merge, however it's not a big problem if the only way to stop users from editing it is redirecting it.

Constructed Mythology Wiki
Hello Catherine, I have a question about the Constructed Mythology Wiki that is usually found at. But, every time I try to visit the wiki, I am brought to the Constructed Fantasy Worlds Wiki. I think that this may have something to do with a proposal set for a change in the wiki's policy. No external images, that were not created by the author of an article may be used. The proposal was to allow external images if they are properly sourced and licensed. The proposal passsed. The founder and only administrator/bureaucrat of the wiki said that the wiki is now pointless and he has not made an edit since this. I believe that he has something to do with this. Somehow, he has made it to where the wiki is not accessable by me on this account. I can visit there as an IP or on a different account. But, this account cannot visit the wiki. Can you help me?

Unrestricted Bureaucrat on ConMyth
Hello. I am speaking on behalf of the users at Constructed Mythology (ConMyth) (not necessarily with their consent, but something has to be done). We have a bureaucrat on who is "running wild" and has been making edits without any sort of consent, including (but not limited to): It started when this particular Bureaucrat (Mighty Erick) created the wiki, it seems. He had left other similar wikis because they were using external images (as in, images that aren't the user's creation), and he says he created ConMyth in order to not use external images -- at all. Move to recent events over this month, and a user (Mattken3) was posting external images (of relevance, too). Once Mighty Erick found out about this, he suggested that he could make images that would replace Mattken3's images. Mattken3 didn't like this idea, and respectfully began a debate as to why he should be allowed to use external images. Other users got into the debate as well (including myself), and we put it to a vote as to whether we should include external images. When the vote was announced, though, Mighty Erick threatened to leave the wiki and make another one - for the same purpose. We continued to go about our business, and eventually, the vote (which still hasn't ended, it seems) was more in the favor of Mattken3 (please note that past this is complete speculation). Mighty Erick seems to be angry at this point, and locked his talk page and many pages he created. We have no way to contact him at this point, except for a user-made Talk page for him. On a final note, he seems to have banned Mattken3 from the wiki, because Mattken3 says he gets redirected to another one of Mighty Erick's wikis, and can only use his IP address to edit pages, at this point.
 * Threatening to leave the wiki over a small (and seemingly irrelevant) issue (see below).
 * Locking his talk page and replacing it with a message (again, see below).
 * Locking many of the pages he created (I think).
 * Banning a user from the wiki.

I'm sorry for the massive wall of text above; I felt I needed to explain the situation. My point is, will you (or one of Wikia's admins) help with the situation? I think we either need to find a way to contact Mighty Erick (or simply get his attention drawn to the wiki), or remove his Bureaucrat rights. I personally don't want him so angry he leaves for sure, because he seems to be the backbone that holds the wiki together, so the latter might be a last resort.

Thank you in advance for your help! Sir Trekie 02:45, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I should like to note that i support both Mattkenn3 and Sir Trekie on this topic. As the second most active and with the most pages (Besides Erick) i feel that each and every user on Conmyth should be able to have a voice and and at least some say on the way the wiki is run. At this time Erick has taken things too far and i feel something (not too drastic) should be done. While Erick is usually a very good administrator and artist in Paint he has proven himself to be remarkable stubborn and will often leave a wiki and make another just because of a small issue. So anyway, i hope something can be done and that Erick stays on Conmyth as he holds us all together.

Flamefang 03:43, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Flamefang

Yes, this is what I spoke of earlier in my post. We have found this page. . On this page, the same admin has found a way to redirect certain users and pages to different wikis, making it impossible for the community to work effectively. So, I ask that you could delete this page to stop its effects, block this admin, and make either myself or Flamefang an administrator of the wiki to fix what Erick has done to our wiki. We would very much appreciate your help. Mattkenn3 User:Eulalia459678talk:Mattkenn3 04:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I would nominate myself for this position as well, but being the humble editor that I am, I would rather nominate Flamefang, because he has the most experience (along with me), more articles (than me), and more of a focus on the wiki (than me). Just wanted to put in my thoughts. Sir Trekie 15:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Adminship Request -- Artemis Fowl wiki

 * "Once the active editors have come to an agreement, we'll be happy to hand out the admin tools."
 * --You on Wikia:Adoption request (Archive 8)

Hello there! I'm Howdychicken. In December I think, I'd incorrectly requested adminship on the Adoptions page. Oops! Anyway, I took your advice regarding the fact that I should really not ask for it at Central Wikia, but instead ask C Teng at the Artemis Fowl wiki, as he is the only admin left. I did, however, he regretted to say that he didn't have that power, and that the only user who did was KFan II, now "retired". Together, C Teng and I came up with the idea of starting a Requests for Adminship page, a page where any user could post their pitch, then let the community discuss the possibility of that user gaining admin rights. See the page here. On its talk page, any user can either support or deny a request, giving their reasons if willing. Currently there are two users with requests: myself and McLovinn. I've talked to other Wikia helpers and they say that a good five to ten yes-votes should do in our community to be enough to get admin super powers. I have 3 "Supports", 1 "Strong Support", and no "Denies". Is this enough? Howdychicken 18:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

H*R Wiki and Fanstuff on Wikia
Hello Catherine, this is H*bad. I noticed that you created these two wikis. Did you know that there was already a well established wiki, with fanstuff, at hrwiki.org. Now, I am not going to speak for the wiki or anything, but what I would like to point out also, is the fact that competing with an already established wiki, would probably, in my opinion, result in the wikia site being not active(which is already happening).

Hundreds of vandal edits

 * Perhaps it is not so important to delete that page now. It can be done later by Erick, what I am afraid of is more if he got angry enough, after something which happened on another wiki, to ignore what we requested him to do if we had edited that other wiki. If it is not so, there is no need for deleting it before he does it. Lars (Poet) (speak page) 20:09, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Good afternoon! Thank you for Sevastopol’s Wikia creation. Could you rename it from ru.sevastopol.wikia.com to new name sevastopol.wikia.com ?

The city of Sevastopol is absolutely Russian-speaking, Sevastopol’s internet community is Russian-speaking also. In support of my words, I propose to read results of Ukraine’s census of enumeration in city of Sevastopol here ukrcensus.gov.ua (The english version of this page for some reason was broken, but you may be sure that "русский" = russian language).

So I ask for renaming «ru.Sevastopol» as «Sevastopol», because the short name is ordinarily used in Wikia for main language community and for language community, that request a Wikia earlier.

Politikwiki
Hello,

First of all I want to thank you all for letting me create Politikwiki. I'm wondering if I could get oversight and checkuser competence for the wiki, if it wouldn't be any troubles for you? Members with jaff status have, if I'm right, full competence on Wikias all wikis. Or am I wrong? But, as I said, checkuser and oversight competence for Politikwiki would be great, if you wouldn't mind and if it wouldn't be bothersome for you. It might get required in the future.

Evaluation
Hello, Catherine Munro. I would like to ask you for a favour. I was wondering how well my wiki was doing, and I was curious to see how it compares with other wikis. I would like to ask you if you could evaluate it. Sort of tell me and the users how well it is doing, how close it is to a Spotlight, what should be improved, what's good. We started back in October, and now have a total of 4 good proper active users. One, Sk8rbluscat, got banned however for a period of time, and now we only have 3. Us at the Road Trip Adventure Wiki are trying our best to invite people. We know many many people who can help us, and most invites are pending.

We are also considering moving the wiki, as it is about a game - which is in a LARGE series of games and we would like to make it a wiki about that series for more users and pages. After evaluating, could you help us and give us advise about the move. It's just that you would be the best user to do it, but if you can't could you reffer another user who is suitable for the job. Thanks a lot, Tigernose (Talk) 16:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
