New Hub/Portal Pages
Hi Angela looking at the New style Hub/Portal front pages like here with headings Entertainment Gaming Lifestyle Community above the slideshow box, with recent activity info below I notice that when you look at the drop down lists and click the 'more' at the bottom of the menus it just loops back. I would expect it to take me to the category Hub pages with a bigger listing (more) of wikis under that Grouping i.e to this page Here ?

Unless you go to the Community forum with the old side bar & use the Hubs > More hubs menu you do not seem to get to a lot of the wikis. ?

Also perhaps the new wikia.com main page needs another dropdown menu to link to the smaller grouping of wikis via the hubs ? If I cannot get to them easily then how are new visitors to wikia.com main page to find a lot of the smaller wiki grouping and the individual wikis ? - BulldozerD11 01:10, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that the best way to find the smaller wikis is to use the search box there which searches across all wikis. Those hub pages are more for people who want a broad overview of what communities there are rather than community members who want to find the smaller or newer wikis. Hopefully those more involved people will find this Community Central wiki with its editable hubs, such as hub:sports. Angela (talk | help forum) 01:21, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes search works some of the time but often turns up the bigger wikis. So how about adding the Category:Hubs as a link on the tabs of the Wikia.com page and the Entertainment, Lifestyle etc versions on to the Community tab, something like "find 1000's of wiki communities" (or some other catch phrase) as a way into the hubs for new visitors. The hubs look better after the make over with a new header, and I thought there was an idea to revamp them a bit back, so pointing more users to the hubs and the more niche wikis ? I just think that the hubs are becoming a bit of a back water as few people appear to be able to find them unless they know they exist. - BulldozerD11 20:11, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I suggest that you send this idea using special:contact so that it can reach the right person. Angela (talk | help forum)

Gallery and slideshow insert button
I wont to create a gallery or slideshow, but I don't can click the "add gallery or slideshow" button. This button don't exist in the lt.biologija site. Help please. --Vpovilaitis 17:32, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I expect that those new features have not yet been translated into Lithuanian. If that is something you're able to help with, please could you contact Avatar (or use special:contact) to find out how. Angela (talk | help forum) 22:38, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. There no problems, that those new features have not yet been translated into Lithuanian. If is needed translations into Lithuanian, I think, I can help for this. -- 09:47, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm translated all messages of those new feature in the . -- 10:55, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Server Troubles
Hello, I'm an administrator at the Ace Combat Wiki, and I have a problem that perhaps you can solve. Ever since yesterday, I try ti enter the site, yet I only get a blank screen. I hit F-5, but it just won't resume standard operations. Can you help me?  Proto  Stealth   03:23, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * That shouldn't be happening. Please can you send details of which pages this happens on, which browser you are using, and your location (people in different locations hit different servers) to staff using special:contact. Thanks, Angela (talk | help forum) 03:54, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

A'ight, here's your info.


 * Browser: Mozilla Firefox
 * Location: Chile (yeah, I'm a South-American admin, talk about a first in Wikia history)

Well, back on the servers, whenever I try to enter, it looks like this:



Is that enough? -- Proto  Stealth   17:53, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

PDQ Angela, I've missed a lot of action at the wikia, and it cannot progress without my help, for I am the main contributor. -- Proto  Stealth   20:23, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you need a fast reply, it is best to use special:contact. I don't know what the problem is, but I have filed a bug report. For now, I think the site will work if you switch temporarily to a different skin which you can do in your preferences on this wiki. Turning off some of the widgets might also help, though I'm not sure if that is the cause of the problem. Angela (talk | help forum) 00:58, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I changed the skin, but to no avail. What now? -- Proto  Stealth   02:13, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that this isn't something I can help with. Please can you send details using special:contact so that someone can help you? Angela (talk | help forum) 03:17, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Unblocking on WoW Wiki, it's needed! Here's why!
I'm blocked on the WoW Wiki only for making articles. OK, I understand that I did it wrong, but here's the problem: I need Pcj for a template on the Prison Break Wiki. Our could I put a link on my Wiki with his name!--Station7 14:03, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Angela, I'll address this. -- 14:22, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Kirby Wiki
Excuse me Angela, my name is Gamefreak75 and I'm an administrator on the Kirby Wiki. There was recently vandal who is not only impersonating me (Gamefreak76), but also spamming pages. It would be a big favor if you can check user that vandal's I.P. and see if it matches with anyone else on the wiki. Greatly appreciate it. --Gamefreak75


 * No one else uses Gamefreak76's IP on the Kirby wiki. There is a user with the same IP but a slightly different browser string on the Donkey Kong wiki but it's the IP of a large ISP so it could be shared between multiple users that are not sockpuppets. Angela (talk | help forum) 13:20, July 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm, okay thanks, just wanted to see if it was one of the younger users making fun of me. --Gamefreak75

Question
Hello. I'm Agent WindFire, and I've recently founded the 39 Clues Roleplay wiki. I wanted to know what the terms are for sysops, so I can begin running the wiki a little more smoothly.

Thanks,

-- Agent WindFire 21:42, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * There aren't really terms, but you can find help in the Admin FAQ. Angela (talk | help forum)

Thank you! -- Agent WindFire 02:14, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Can you help me?
I have issues with one editor on Red Dead Wiki who constantly makes unnecessary changes to the articles there. I want to take back all of my contributions so he can't manipulate the data. Is there a way to automatically strip a wiki of a user's changes? Most specifically, I'd like to remove permanently all of the pictures I've uploaded to it, but I can't find how to do that. Can you help me? By either telling me how or telling me I can't do it... JackFrost23 05:27, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * All contributions to Red Dead Wiki are considered to be released under the CC-BY-SA (see Copyrights for details). So you can't remove your edits; they are freely editible as soon as you click Save page.  Manyman  (Talk)  05:39, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you tried talking to the user, or maybe to the admins on that wiki? Hopefully you can resolve it by talking about the changes you're not happy with. Another option is to post to your blog instead since that can not be edited by others. Angela (talk | help forum) 09:38, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * The user's a stubborn retard who's only interested in keeping his #1 status at the wiki. One admin quit because of family issues, and the other is never there - and even when he is, he usually just does robot edits. I can't post game information on my blog...
 * There are 7 admins and 6 of them have been active within the past month. If you can't find someone there to talk to, you could send details to staff using special:contact. Angela (talk | help forum) 05:31, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism to a user page that no administrator deals with
Someone created a user page without the consent of the user AsukaMomoko and should be deleted. However, the administrator does not delete this user page and instead allow various puppets to recover these content. This user page should be deleted immediately without delay.67.212.81.105 15:33, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * It has been deleted, but if it recreated by admin, you will need to talk to one of the admins about it, or send a message to staff using special:contact. You can also try contacting Zeyi for help with this wiki. Angela (talk | help forum) 05:31, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Uhhh
Um, Hi, I'm the creator of Zain Game Productions Wiki and I was going to ask, can I become an administrator of my own wiki? Please inform me on Zain Game Productions Wiki's Mayor Zain!

Thank you,

Mayor Zain


 * When you create a wiki, you are automatically an admin at that wiki. See help:user access levels and the admin FAQ for help. Angela (talk | help forum) 05:52, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Rename domain name
Hi, I'm Silver Hawx, administrator on LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia, and I was wondering if I am able to rename my Wiki's domain name? See, LPW Wiki would like to include pages from another eFederation, and we don't want to lose all our information. Is there a way? Silver Hawx 07:48, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

I've found that you can, but do you have the power to? If so, I'll contact you over the next few days to do it. If not, can you tell me someone who can? Silver Hawx 07:57, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, this is possible. You just need to send the details to staff using special:contact. Angela (talk | help forum) 12:51, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Old SmashWiki URL
The rights to the domain name for one of the pre-merge Super Smash Bros wikis has expired. Originally, this was held by SmashBoards, who are now owned by Major League Gaming. At SmashWiki, are discussing what to do about this. One of the users said that part of wikia's contract required them to keep up the old URL for Guild Wiki. I was curious if this applied here and how we should go about fixing this. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 23:47, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't make the contract for that one, so I don't know exactly what they were required to do. Would you mind sending me an email about it with the link that you're referring to? Thanks, Angela (talk | help forum) 04:05, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Azumanga Daioh wiki
User:FnUhCjKtEfD has uploaded nasty pictures and is a troll, l have undid most of his edits and the admin ain't active on there that much..--Daipenmon 17:37, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * It looks like the VSTF have cleaned it up. A quick way to report problems to them is to use the Report:Vandalism page. Angela (talk | help forum) 04:24, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Angela
Could you redirect http://es.superpoderosa.wikia.com/ to http://es.powerpuff.wikia.com for me, please? Thanks. L D E J R u f f (see what I have contributed ) July 21, 2010, 19:13 (EDT)


 * That wiki has now been moved to es.powerpuff.wikia.com. Angela (talk | help forum) 01:57, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Problems with Madball Wiki logo
For whatever reason, I can't seem to replace the blue wikia logo at Madball wiki with the Madball wiki logo I made. Not sure whats wrong with it. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  03:06, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Hello, Angela. I am sorry to disturb you again, but I do not know whom else to turn to, or what else to now do. A user on the wiki I created, ttff.wikia.com, by the name of Watchamacalit, has secretly changed the block settings of a disruptive user without explanation, whom many have complained about. The disruptive user was banned after many warnings, and after I consulted the entire community over it. He and other users wanted to call this banned user over to their own wiki, leaving messages for him on mine, and on that wiki, they plagarized the articles and characters of several other editors on the wiki I created. I tried to contact him here and ask him to delete the characters and instead use his own original work instead on his wiki; without comment, he banned me for one year and deleted my message, while refusing to remove any of the other user's content. I do not know what to do; this user has argued with me many times in the past, and has actually asked to be banned because of his actions, but I have always tried and managed to resolve arguments with him, giving him chance after chance and insisting he was an excellent contributor to our wiki and its community. Now, however, I have at last grown tired of this, and I truly do not know what I can do. Ralnon (talk) 04:21, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
