Quantcast
Hi Angela, do you use Quantcast.com to see how many people enter to Wikia? -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  18:19, December 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, Quantcast is a good way to see how many visitors a wiki has. Angela (talk) 02:10, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * So this means that my wiki has 163.3 thousand visitors monthly worldwide?! -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  02:17, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, and people are making multiple visits, so the number of pageviews is even higher. The wiki is growing amazingly fast! Angela (talk) 02:20, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, thanks :) -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  02:25, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me? I'd like to adopt....
I'm Roxy13, from the Winx Club Wiki. I'm a very frequent user on this wiki, and I would like to adopt it, because our founder is, well, no where to be found! If you can help me, please do. We need a buereaucrat badly, and I would like to be one. Dad, I'm a Fairy! Roxy13 22:14, December 30, 2009 (UTC)Roxy13


 * Please see Adoption requests. Angela (talk) 00:44, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Name
Could I please have my name changed? There's a user by the name of meep meep who thinks I stole his name. I didn't know he existed, so I want my name changed. So I'd like it changed to...Andy920. Thanks!Meepers 02:09, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * No, sorry. Usernames aren't changed on Wikia due to the shared user database. -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  02:11, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * They think I'm trying to steal a user's identity, though. Is there really nothing that can be done?Meepers 02:38, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * You can make a new account and use that instead. You can add a note to your old userpage to tell people that you have changed name and you could add a note there explaining that meep meep is someone else. Angela (talk) 05:02, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Soundfiles
It it possible to upload sound files on wikia?
 * Yes it is possible. You need to convert your sound files to .ogg and then upload them at Special:Upload. 17:39, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Interwiki transclusion?
Is it possible to add some kind of link to that it's exactly same page as, and if it is possible, could you tell me. The information in this page updates almost every day, and there are many this kind of pages, so we really need this.

--Penko 14:11, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * If both wikis have this feature enabled, then you use "article" or "article" . If not, please request it here. 17:06, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * If i do that, it only makes language links, I mean like this:, but I don't know what I should write to this page , to make it be exactly same as this page . Do you know what I mean? --Penko 17:26, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * You want to turn on scary transclusions from runescape.wikia so that any wiki can decide to transclude any page from that wiki. You should be warned though that the cache from this feature is extremely bad (a change to the exchange page on runescape.wikia could take a week to show on your wiki,) so it'd probably even be better if you just used a bot instead to relay this type of data. I haven't heard of many places where this is enabled, and getting it enabled for something minor isn't specifically likely (or easy.) Regardless, your best answer can be found via Special:Contact, so please ask via that, but I would recommend you use a bot to do what you want instead. Good luck! Joey (talk) 18:05, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * It would be hard to use bot, when there's 3 wikias which needs those pages, but thanks anyway. --Penko 18:08, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Linking to one version instead of duplicating would be best. "Scary transclusions" were not designed for this. You also lower the google page rank if you duplicate the content rather than having all 3 wikis pointing to a single version of the page. Angela (talk) 23:52, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Bug on Special:Mostvisitedpages
I have found a bug on Special:Mostvisitedpages. When we write a word, this page shows the pages with the word in their title (for instance, here). But it doesn't work with special characters like "é" (for example, here) whereas there are pages with the special character in the title (here). This bug always occurs. I already reported this bug here. Ftiercel 18:42, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've passed this bug report onto the engineers. Sending bugs to special:contact is best to ensure they see them. Angela (talk) 01:07, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. Ftiercel 18:41, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

2 questions
Hello Angela. I have 2 questions.


 * 1.How do you change the color of your Wikia (as administrator)?
 * 2.How do you change the background of your Wikia (as administrator)?

--Station7 18:52, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here Hope it help :) --FreddyderHamster Talk 19:06, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you need any more help, please send a message with a link to your wiki to special:contact. Angela (talk) 01:07, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Puzzle Logo
Hi Angela. Is it possible to have a logo like a globe with puzzel pieces like wikipedia's? I don't remember where I saw that you eliminated one of those logos, as they are asking here to make one. I think it's a great idea, but can we do it? -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  22:23, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Wikipedia logo is copyrighted and trademarked. Wikia is not part of Wikimedia, so we are not legally allowed to use their logo or derivatives of their logo as part of Wikia logos. Angela (talk) 22:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is the Uncyclopedia part of Wikimedia? -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  02:19, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, Uncyclopedia is hosted by Wikia which is not part of Wikimedia. Angela (talk) 02:20, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uh... so if you're hosted by Wikia, you can make that logo? That's pretty confusing. - Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  02:40, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uncyclopedia is a parody of Wikipedia, so it's likely that their logo use could be defended as fair use. It's also different enough that Uncyclopedia would not be confused for Wikipedia which could mean a trademark violation. The intention is people understand that Uncyclopedia's potato logo is a joke. The same does not apply to other wikis. Angela (talk) 03:06, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

UnMario



 * Please stop with the vandalism games. Leaving messages here is not helping. If you need staff help, you can use special:contact but not just for demanding on daily basis that various people be de-adminned. Note that if you are vandalising, sockpuppeting, and/or holding multiple admin accounts, it's really best you don't complain about others doing the same. Angela (talk) 03:43, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Help Please, maa'm
Maa'm, the Pierlot user, the same who got User Magnus banned is now going to try to get me banned from wikination for supposed "sockpuppetry", just because I do not agree with him! Regliarium, the administrator on that wiki, adviced him to or at least to try. Please talk to Pierlot. --Brenda Young 15:36, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't you get bored of this problem? I see messages like this all around the Wikia Community Team. Just send a message to Special:Contact. -- Shadow Na'vi <font face="Arial" size="2"> Talk    My Workload  16:09, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

There is only one way to solve this problem. It is to block Pierlot. He has caused nothing but trouble. His falsely accusing of people he dislikes and having them banned by moderators of local admins has to stop. How? By giving Pierlot the crosswikia block he deserves. Why don't you people see it? The root of the Problem lies with PIERLOT... Dr. Magnus 20:26, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * You actually don't get bored... --<font face="Segoe UI" size="2"> Shadow Na'vi <font face="Arial" size="2"> Talk    My Workload  21:22, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's best to work on a different wiki instead of continuing these arguments on Wikination. Getting staff involved does not help in these sorts of situations. Angela (talk) 01:06, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Most visited pages
Hi, I was disappointed when I saw that the most visited pages list doesn't exist anymore. Why is it so? 17:45, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * See Special:Top/most_visited. <font color="8B4513">Dancing <font color="#006400">Penguin  (Talk!) (Contribs) (Edits) 18:04, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, we can't see all the pages and the number of visits with that. Thanks anyway! 18:12, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * The data on that page was incredibly inaccurate so it was removed to avoid confusion. Maybe in future we will find a better way of extracting data on visitors per page, but that isn't possible right now. Angela (talk) 22:00, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks! 22:46, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Azusanity
That wiki has been attacked by trolls, l rolled back the edits he made, and banned them for one year, could you hide for good the edits that troll made, his name is Oceanus99 and the IP address that also attacked is 66.90.73.246.--Daipenmon 14:17, January 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've replied on the azusanity wiki. Angela (talk) 03:33, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

I need help!
Hey Angela, I need administrators, bureaucrats, and more! My wikis are going down the toilet. There are Avatar The Last Airbender (www.avatar-thelastairbender.wikia.com) & Penguins of Madagasgar (www.penguinsofmadness.wikia.com). Thanks, --173.80.254.13 20:26, January 8, 2010 (UTC) (a.k.a. Bigman602)


 * I'm not critizicing, but they are not successful because there is already another wiki about Avatar, and Penguins of Madagascar isn't a very famous show among teens and adults, that are most of the users and visitors on Wikia. --<font face="Segoe UI" size="2"> Shadow Na'vi <font face="Arial" size="2"> Talk    My Workload  01:39, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Anyway, if you wanna get more traffic from Google, here are a couple of tips to help your wiki improve its Google search rank. These tips are sure to help send more traffic your way and will increase the visibility of your wiki to the rest of the world.
 * The description and pagetitles for your wiki are crucial to favorable placement.
 * Google recommends no more that 100 links on your main page for better indexing.
 * The most relevant content for your topic should link from the main page.
 * Hope it helped. --<font face="Segoe UI" size="2"> Shadow Na'vi <font face="Arial" size="2"> Talk    My Workload  01:45, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Help:Attracting Contributors has some ideas of how to promote your wiki. Once there good users editing there, you can make them into admins and bureaucrats using Special:Userrights. Angela (talk) 03:35, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Biology Wikia
Hi there, I'm hoping to add some content to Biology Wikia soon, have got exams but they will soon be over. I've changed the vandalised pages back to the previous best format, is there any way to completely get rid of some pages altogether? Pixies as the least offensive example. --Smg87 03:53, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've deleted pixie. Maybe you think about adopting the wiki as there are no active admins there. Angela (talk) 09:29, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Help with moving to Wikia
Hi, I'm moving over from editthis. Is there any way to bulk upload my images? Any slick tricks on copying page source?

Thanks for any help. Alexander Baker 04:17, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
