Hi. There is no staffers at IRC and spammer to clean and block. Could you please look here? Szoferka


 * I'll look now. Angela talk 17:01, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Wiki name change...
Hi. The administrators of NSider Forums have had a chat with me because they think the name of the NSider Wiki makes it sound offcial. I'm wondering if I can change the name of the wiki to "Unofficial NSider Wiki". Thanks, Maverick (I would prefer if you replied on NSider Wiki, but it's your choice)

Thanks
Thanks for the french Guild Wars Wikia custom namespaces. It's really appreciated. Not sure who implemented it though, so tell me if i should also thanks someone else. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 08:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll pass on your thanks. I expect it was Kaz3t.

help!
i accidentally gave admin rights to Vandalbert on Dilbert Wiki, please revert User:Umpajug


 * Fixed. Angela talk 13:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Ur Template
Sorry if you have already got this message, but your Angela template is broken up from the new mediawiki, 1.10 alpha, so I know theres many bugs, but I would just like to comment that the link that shows it on other wikis, is well broken, see here to see what I mean. It should all be fixed when we upgrade to the 1.10 non-alpha/beta if we do, or if the bug is fixed. Thnx, bye.


 * Thanks for pointing it out. It was an out of date link to Wikicities instead of Wikia. I've fixed it now. Angela talk 18:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Thnx Angela. --Darth tader

Runescape Wiki (again)
Apologies for reposting down here, but I was afraid hyou might not see my post further up. I made the current wikia forums less visible, but there've been some complaints - not to mention we've already got someone saying they got hacked by our brand-new phpBB forums. Eucarya and I saw the Inside Wikia forums - which strangely weren't live when I checked last - and we think they would be an ideal solution to our current forum problems. If we could possibly get the new forum functionality, that would help immensely.

It's a lot easier for me to see replies if you let me know at my talk page, but I don't mind checking here if I have to.

Oddlyoko talk 20:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't understand what you mean. How did someone get hacked by the forums? The Inside Wikia forum is working again. I think there was just a server down earlier. Angela talk 22:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Different, off-site forums we made at a phpBB host-site. I don't honestly think they got hacked; I'm just saying we've been getting complaints that haven't been helping our forums situation, which is why I'm hoping we could get the beta forums. 23:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. I'll see when they'll be available for your wiki. Angela talk 00:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it looks great. Is there any way for me to get administrator privaleges on the new forums so I could add forums? And we have an ongoing topic of bugs and suggestions if you want to look at that. I'd link it here, but I don't know how to link to a beta forum topic. 06:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It says, and I quote, "You are not authorised to access this area." Oddlyoko talk


 * Welll, it's working now. I can access the moderator panel, but I still see no way to add new forums. Oddlyoko talk


 * When I use the link you just gave me, it tells me to log in, I do, then it redirects me to the Main Page. Then when I try the link again, I have to log in again. It tells me I don't have cookies enabled, at the login screen, but I do, I made sure of it. Oddlyoko talk


 * If you could rename the current one to "Tavern" and add "Help Desk", "Voting Booth" (and if possible, could that one be sysops and up only to create topics, but all users to post?), and "Events", that should be good. I have two other questions, though. One, should I post on your user talk page on our wiki (runescape:User talk:Angela), or here? Two, is there any chance that the forum creation ability would be given to bureaucrats?

Thanks! 16:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Apicultura Wiki in spanish
Hi Angela! I have a big request for you. Recently I found a wiki in spanish about beekeeping, then I wrote some messages to the bureaucrat that maintains it and he agreed to bring his wiki to Wikia. I made a request for a new wiki, it was approved and we have a new wiki: http://es.beekeeping.wikia.com/wiki/Portada We have the permission to bring all the articles from that wiki(http://www.culturaapicola.com.ar/wiki/index.php/Portada) to the new wiki, but the problem is that I need some help, because there are many articles on that wiki. See here the statistics. There is a lot of good stuff on that wiki and a lot of cleanup to be done, but this work can be done later at Wikia. Have a nice day, --Adela 08:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe it is better first to let a spanish speaker, member of the stuff to check if the information are suitable for Wikia, if the copyright laws were not violated. Thank you! --Adela 13:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Partner sites
Is it true wikias can be pertner sites?? my friend Captain-poison said so. Forerunner


 * It depends what you mean by that. If you mean an official business partnership, then it's possible, but that's something that would have to be arranged by staff. If you just mean an informal "sister site" type arrangement, then that might be possible as long as the community there doesn't feel you are just advertising another site with no benefit to them. Angela talk 13:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

New Wiki in English and German
Hallo, I am new here since 27. May 2007. I already discussed this problem in the Forum:Help desk. Because nobody could give me an advice, how to solve the following problem, I was suggested to ask "the staff".


 * I have 3 user pages.
 * one in english:
 * 1) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tirkon
 * and two in german:
 * 2) http://de.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon
 * 3) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon

I want to open a new Wiki with both, german and english content and interwiki links, which connects the english content with the according german content just like it is done in the english and german Wikipedia. Is that possible and if yes, how? To try this, I played a little bit with my user "accounts". In user account 1) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tirkon I can set an interwiki link to "de:Benutzer:Tirkon" which aims for user account 3) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon. And in user account 3) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon I can set an interwiki link to "en:User:Tirkon" which aims for user account 1) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tirkon. But this two accounts are actually not two accounts but only one in the english Wikia. Although account 3) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon is located in the english wikia it nevertheless can be adressed with de:. This is confusing and not consistent to Wikipedia.

But should not the interwiki link "de:Benutzer:Tirkon" in account 1) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tirkon aim to the account 2) http://de.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon in the german wikia??? This would be consistent with Wikipedia usage. -- Tirkon 14:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The central wikia is different to most of them since interlanguage links point to pages on this wiki rather than to a different wiki. If you want content in two languages, it's easier to make 2 separate wikis. Otherwise pages like Benutzer:Tirkon appear in the main namespace rather than the user namespace. Angela talk 14:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. But I am sorry. I do not understand the technology of Wikia and thus I have problems to understand most of your comments. or this one 3) http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon
 * You wrote: The central wikia is different to most of them ... What is "them"?
 * You wrote: Otherwise pages like Benutzer:Tirkon... Which one of the two "Benutzer:Tirkon" do you mean, this one 2) http://de.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon
 * You wrote: If you want content in two languages, it's easier to make 2 separate wikis. easier as what? I do not know, how to write in two languages without making "2 separate wikis" in Wikia: one in english and one in german.
 * You wrote: ... to make 2 separate wikis. Do you mean the english wiki in this "english speaking" space: http://community.wikia.com and the german wiki in this "german speaking" space: http://de.wikia.com ? Are the interlanguage links (thank for that correct word) possible then? -- Tirkon 16:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I meant different to the other wikis we host. Usually if you type fr:title you would go to a different site that is in french. However, on this wiki (community.wikia.com), fr:title goes to a page on this same wiki. What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to start a new wiki? If it's easier for you to ask in German about this, please contact Rieke Hain who will be able to help you. Angela talk 16:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I think I already "adopted" this thread (see Tirkon's talk page), will take care about further questions tomorrow :-) --rieke 16:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Angela wrote: Do you want to start a new wiki? Yes, that is, why I am doing this efforts. :-) If the wiki is established so far, there will be native english speakers, who have experience in Wikipedia and will care about the english part of the wiki and thus there will be a better english than mine. In the meanwhile rieke informed me, that the interlanguage links between de.wikia und wikia will work in a few days. This will probably solve my problems. Thus I will wait and then check the new situation. Thanks for your help so far. -- Tirkon 17:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If you are interested: Here is the first attempt at walking. User:Tirkon/Project Microchip Pic Microcontroller. As already mentioned, the text will be later revised by a native speaker. -- Tirkon 02:18, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

hi
Hi Angela, I was wondering why we don't have a Pendragon wiki. I know plenty of people who read about pendragon, myself included. Plus we have a lot of info about it so why not make one? Thanks, oh yeah I'm also here now if you wanted to post a message here. Thanks Stryker.

the books. I just posted a proposal. I hope it works, Would I be one of the founders if it goes through?


 * Yes, you would be a founder. I've left a question at Forum:Pendragon. Angela talk 21:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The series is over??? Where does it say that? Machale has said he is writing ten books. My friend says maybe there might only be 9 but the series over? Naw he wouldn't end it like that. Stryker.

hey angela, I have a question. how soon do the admins get back to you about the proposed wikis? Thanks Stryker.

Hello
I left a message on your talk page on the requests for wiki wiki. Could you check it? Please reply here, e-mail me, or reply on the RuneScape Wiki at around 0:00-2:00 UTC. Thanks! Syugecin


 * Hello Syugecin. I've made you an admin at the dinosaurs wiki. Please let me know if you need any help there. Angela talk 23:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Two things. I've added a create article thing because I'm gonna go crazy and make some articles. Second, where is the MediaWiki:Sidebar and SiteNotice? Syugecin
 * And how do I change the wiki logo? Syugecin


 * I'll reply on that wiki. Angela talk 23:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for help! ^-^ More questions... he he he. Do you think I could delete all non dinosaur articles and just make it a dinosaur wiki? Syugecin
 * The homo sapiens, homo erectus, aves, and mammalia articles. I want to start clean =) And can you tell me if me and my friend are the only active ones there? Syugecin
 * I meant just making the wiki solely for dinosaurs, making those articles irrelevant. Syugecin
 * Erm.. I kinda do... That's why I added a request for a new wiki. Could you make one? And if so would I be creator/crat? Syugecin

K. I guess I'll stay with the current one. Syugecin

Another Wikia Gaming Blog prospect?
I'm interested in getting the MU*Wiki added to the gaming blog. What criteria does a gaming Wikia need to meet for that? --Stamp 03:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The blogs are being trialed at the moment. Once the current issues are fixed, we'll launch them more widely and add all of the gaming wikis to the gaming blog. Angela talk


 * Sounds great. I really hope to see the blogs getting more use! It's a great feature. Stamp 05:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Sysop rights on es.beekeeping
Hi Angela! I would like to ask you to give me sysop rights for the es.beekeeping wikia, because I have to do a lot of cleaning and the local beaureaucrat is not present for the moment to ask him. He also needs help with the system messages, because he doesn't know much about Media Wiki. Greetings, --Adela 13:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Adopting the Astronomy Wiki
I have began editing the (Apparently) inactive Wiki Astronomy. I would like to get Administrator access to this wiki to prevent vandalism and replace the logo on the wiki. I think this wiki has great potentiall on Wikia. If you can, please reply here.

French Uncyclopedia URL redirection broken
Hi Angela

http://desencyclopedie.com doesn't seem to work anymore. it used to point to http://desencyclopedie.wikia.com but now leads to Wikia's home page since a week. Could you help us out on this ? Thank you very much.

--Thaumasnot 09:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This is listed to be fixed. Angela talk

css
Hey Angela, I already asked Catherine this, but I decided to ask you as well since your online ATM. Do you know how to change the background color of the sidebar and TOC using css? I've tried to do it in my monobook on another wiki, but with no luck. Thanks, Pinky49
 * It worked for the sidebar, but the toc isn't working. Do you have any idea why? Thanks again, Pinky49|Talk
 * It worked! Thanks. Also, could you delete it now? I have no need for it on this wiki. -Pinky

IRC request
Hi Angela, if you've got a sec could you come on IRC? I have a sockpuppet problem and was wondering if a checkuser could be run. Don't worry if you're busy, it's nothing urgent.  Scott ch  22:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

New traffic feature on Psychology Wiki
We are interested in all forms of user feedback here, but couldnt make out what the stats represented, as there were no headings on the columns. Are these users or pages accessed. From our Google Analytics returns we get about 5000 user a week accessing 15,000 pages, so I am assuming they are pages. What do the increase percentages relate to? Why aren't there numbers for every day? etc etc. Happy to work with you to get this sorted as it should be useful and a convenient check against GADr Joe Kiff 19:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Stats data request
Greetings Angela,

Would it be possible to find out how much visitor traffic scratchpad.wikia.com is receiving from www.hongfire.com? And/or general traffic data on articles in w:c:scratchpad:Category:IllusionGames? Many of the IllusionGame mini-wiki's editors are anons, and the nature of the mini-wiki probably gives it an even more skewed reader-to-contributor ration I believe. So it's quite hard to estimate how much of the Illusion games player community is using the miniwiki. Thanks. -Afker 14:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fantendo
Yes, we are having quite a perdicimint with Fantendo. If you could, could you please fix the monobook? They have worked their best, But, its still a greenish black colour. LOLOMG 15:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Logging In!
For some reason, neither Internet Explorer nor Mozilla Firefox are showing the "captcha" image that's meant to appear for verification on the "create an account" page on wikia! Is there some way I can get past this problem so that I can still create an account? --84.64.67.13 18:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Please email me at angela@wikia.com with the username you want and I can create it for you. Angela talk 18:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyright?
What's the copyright restrictions in regards to wikis? Can users upload music tracks/images/quoted interview excerpts? --Creation 19:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of the interview excerpts wouldn't be from other websites, but magazines. I don't understand what the deal is with uploading music tracks! Memory Alpha uses music tracks to demonstrate theme tunes of the various Star Trek series. I know that MA is operating under a different licence, but it would seem to make sense for the music wikis here to demonstrate what tracks sound like by including a few excerpts! Can you see any sense in that? --Creation 19:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've just read that Wikipedia uses the same licence as wikia. Doesn't that mean that musical excerpts are allowed on wikis, as they are on Wikipedia?!? --Creation 20:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Bots for Halpedia
One of Halopedia's admin, Ed, has asked me for help, and one of his issues concerns bots and making them. I'd like to request permissions to create bots, i believe the permission is botcheck. We're just trying to improve Halopedia a little bit more. If you have more questions feel free to ask me or Ed. Thank you.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 00:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Ohh. Sorry, i know that some networks require it to be a user permission. I assumed this to be true here too. Can you tell how to create bots, or where to learn?
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 18:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

wikis
hey. I just wanted to know how long before I get any info if I am allowed to create the pendragon wiki. but I still haven't gotten anything so Idk if anyone even checks them or something. Stryker.


 * Have you made a request for it on the requests wiki? You need to explain there how you would find people who would want to edit it. I'd suggest you make a mini wiki at scratchpad: first to see whether anyone else would help to create a wiki on that topic. Angela talk 20:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

changes in Help:Tutorial
Hi Angela there were a number of edits of this page http://peace.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Tutorial on 5 June, including reversing your edit. Would you take a look and see if the current version is the correct/official one? Thanks. -ts-talk 12:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Lurking Vandal on iverilog Wiki
I noticed that you fixed a blanking out of the Icarus Verilog ABOUT page. Thanks for that. This is the second time that it happened and I'm enabling protection from that page to see if that prevents it, or at least drags the perpetrator out of anonymity. Is this something that is just "going around" or is there a software bug that is doing this?

IRC
We, Halopedia, seem to be having some trouble with our IRC... I sent you a message on IRC, but you weren't there, so here's the transcript:  a word, please  someone from Halopedia, Phil.e., a reasonably respected user, is trying to take over our IRC channel  cchristianTP is currently the channel contact for #halopedia, our IRC channel  Phil.e. doesn't like this, so he wants #halo-wikia to be our official IRC channel  currently he's #halo-wikia's channel contact, and he refuses to relinquish that...  he will undoubtedly ask you to make #halo-wikia accessable from irc.wikia.org  as a Halopedia bureaocrat, I must ask you not to do this; it seems merely an attempt on his part to gain power that is not rightly his Also, he refuses to believe that you said you're fine with just having access level 10 in our IRC channel... he insists on being channel contact, as well as giving people like GHe and Jack_Phoenix--people who don't even work for Wikia--the channel password, while the actual Halopedia admins are only level 30. So basically, please just keep #halopedia as the official channel that can be accessed from http://irc.wikia.com and tell him that you're fine with being 10.

Resident Evil Wikia
The 2 known admins, Res.evil guy and Warsman11 don't edit! Warsman11's las contribution was in September whilst Res.evil guy has never edited! Also i'd like to point out that i edit all the time on nearly every day for the last five months. since then most editers are unsigned IPs. Forerunner
 * Also i have made key edits. like adding in a timeline, a character, some enemies, a multimedia library, and i am planning on a walkthrough Guide. Forerunner
 * Also vandelism happens on short intervals. I also figured out that Warsman11 mustn't edit other wikias because he's have known if someone vandelised his user talk via wikia messaging. Forerunner

Black Background
I made the Background on one of my wikias black, but the words didn't all change, like if i used a template the words that dont link 2 other stuff are in another shade of black. Do you have any knowlege of MediaWiki:Monobook.css? cos like loads of people ask you before the lower admins Forerunner

 * Ok. Its just hard 2 find it Here

Super Ban
Is it true that if you vandelise Wikia you get banned easier and is it also true that you'd be automaticaly banned on every other wikia or is this just rumoUr spreading around the net? Forerunner


 * Getting banned from the Central Wikia doesn't mean you're automatically banned on all wikis. However, there is a cross-wiki ban tool that can be used if someone is persistently vandalising many sites. Angela talk 15:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Becoming a Call of Duty Administrator
Hi, this is the Son of the Witch-King and I am helping the Call of Duty Wiki's administrator Pw3djoe make the wiki grow. So far I have edited about 34 articles out of 45 in the wiki and I think I could do better as a administrator. So far Pw3djoe has not been too active lately so I am asking you to somehow help me become an administrator on the Call of Duty Wiki. If you can I would be thankful but for some reason you can't, you can tell me about another user who can do this.

RuneScape Wiki Wanted Pages
There seems to be an issue with wanted pages on RuneScape Wiki. Our wanted pages seem to go well over 500 and we are trying to remove many red links. However, some pages that appear in wanted pages do not have the red links when you go to edit them. I've uploaded one image as an example. When, for example, "Forum:Hyenaste's bank sale" is clicked on, there is a list of pages that the link supposededly exists on. However, when you go to edit any of those pages, the links don't exist (for example, User talk:Jdthegameboy). This isn't the only link that does this, but it had a shorter number of links so I believed it would be the best example. These links have been on wanted pages for several weeks now, and will not go away. I was told to ask you about what the problem may be. Do you have any suggestions for us? --Clv309


 * I'll try to get someone to fix the links table. Angela talk 17:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Greatly appreciated =] Clv309 18:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Some of these pages were mistakenly recreated in one user's attempt to remove them from wanted pages. As I'm not a sysop (and none are on at the moment), they have not been deleted yet. I'm just not sure if they will still give the same problem once they have been deleted again (if, for some reason, they do however, at least now we know one way to get rid of them). We'd still appreciate someone looking into why the issue appeared in the first place though. Thanks. Clv309

When i was on wanted pages, i crearted a page, doubled back and it was still red. So i wenrt back 4wards and then got onto the wanted pages via links (not using the go back button) and it worked. Try that. Forerunner
 * This issue has been (mostly) resolved by going to the page where the link supposedly was, clicking edit, then resaving the page without making any changes. However, we're still left with several pages on the list where, when we go to click on them, is says no pages link there. Some pages stay on the list for days, then (they seem to) eventually disappear and then other times they're removed when the list is purged. Not sure what to do about that. Clv309
 * This should be fixed now. Angela (talk)

Problem on Star Wars wiki

In fact, when I started to edit and add articles to the wiki, there was roughly nine articles since it was founded in 2005. I started to add articles two weeks ago. I added around roughly 80 articles, organized the articles, and went to different Honor Harrington forums to enlist help. I got one user, who has since added many articles since he started a few days ago. Between me and this new user, we have added up to an additional 90 articles. I have sent a contact form in but I havent gotten a reply. If you can help out, that would be a good step. --Farragut79 03:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I've made you an admin there. Let me know if you need any help with this wiki. Angela talk 21:27, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Question about an open request
Rowikicity Hi, you look at this page? How long will this request be open? I thought between 2 and 10 days? There is already a great support, so? Thnx! Bucurestean 20:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I've made this at rowikicity.wikia.com. Angela talk 13:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! We're already very busy :). Mocu asks if it's possible to edit the interface (because "my preferences" is written in english), and he also asks if there can be the buttons below your edit field with the Romanian diacritic letters (like at ro.wikipedia). As far as I know the last is not possible. Greets, 19:31, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I've replied at w:c:rowikicity:Discuţie Utilizator:Bucurestean. Angela talk 19:39, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikideath is Dead!
Wikideath is dead and I'd like to take it over. I emailed the owner about 2 months ago and he hasn't responded. The Wiki has only one article in it. Can I be made the new owner or can a new one be created called DeathWikia, replacing Wikideath? Thanks!


 * You're welcome to join that wiki and start creating articles. There's no ownership of wikis, so I can't make you an owner, but once you've been involved there for a while you can become an adminstrator. Angela talk 23:18, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I've already written an article on Death in Ancient Rome and plan to add more so here's to the future! Is it possible to change the logo?


 * Just upload an image called Logo.png which is no more than 150px square and let me know. I can make it the logo for you. Angela talk 07:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Admin Access
Hi

I've been a major contributing editor at familyguy.wikia.com and americandad.wikia.com

On both of those sites I probably have the most, or near the most constructive edits to each site and have been a valued member to those communities. However, the admins currently there are somewhat inactive currently, and I would like to be able to upload a few new logos to both wiki as well and I apparently need the admin access to get through the protected pages. If you can grant it thanks, but if not can you direct me to someone who can, thanks

Grande13 03:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Since those are both active wikis that have logos already, I suggest you upload a logo for discussion first rather than making it the logo straight away. You can do that calling it Logo.png instead of Wiki.png. Angela talk 07:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Maplewiki name change
Hello. Apparently, Maplewiki is also a name for a wikia wiki. Please change the name as an already established wiki, maplewiki (maplewiki.net) is already in use. It has been around since December of 2005. Please change the name to keep the confusion at a minimum. (contact me at mapletip -at- gmail.com) 76.193.160.22 06:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikia's Maple wiki existed before Maplewiki.net. I thought that was where wolfspider had taken the name from. Feel free to email me about this if you want to. Angela talk 07:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Pro Wrestling Wikia update
Hey Angela. I have successfully pulled two former/part-time good-faith editors from Wikipedia and put them on the task of helping me jump-start this Wikia.

But as a convience to User:RobJ1981 and User:The Hybrid and future editors that we are bringing in from Wikipedia, and I know this is a very bold request, I am requesting bureaucrat status for my account on that Wikia so that I can make the two of them sysops and any other trusted full-time editors, sysops. I have been on this Wikia since 2005 (first under the name SWD316), the only full-time admin on the Wikia, and I have so far brought in a number of editors, and they have as well, to start expanding the project (although only a couple have stayed full-time). I have been busy removing fair use violations and setting up the basic foundation to where the project is going and how articles are going to be written. I'm currently working triple duty right now as a full-time editor on Wikipedia, admin on Pro Wrestling Wikia and an admin on another Wiki, so I'm not going to dedicate 100% strickly to Pro Wrestling Wikia, so admin actions are being put off until I come back, so thats why I am needing bureaucrat status to promote other editors for when I'm not there. Plus, this also reduces the need to disturb you every time we need another admin :)

Can you get back to me and let me know? Thank you! — <font color="FF0000">M <font color="EE0000" >o <font color="DD0000">e <font color="0000FF">ε  17:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

All i did was change the : mark forthe votes of the Forum:B.C.E.? i changed it o the '#' mark so it shows the ammount f votes. Then i had to merge a reply from myself to thurther m point with my vote above it. Misteriously GPT, who if i remember asked 2 get banned and NOT be able 2 use Admin buttons!


 * I think he means you removed this comment. I think it would be best if another admin looked at this who is more neutral and not involved in the debate. I'm discussing this with him on IRC now. Angela talk 07:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed isbecause it was on the wrong list. i coppied it but i guess i 4gpt 2 paste it. My Laptop has low memory so it stops the AOL from Copying as it could make the Memory even shorter
 * I recommend you make your edit summaries clearer to avoid misunderstandings in future because "Deleting crazy reliegeous anti-Atheist comment" doesn't sound like you were moving the comment to another place. Angela talk 14:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well i was planning on a summery:moving anti-atheist comment to the pile. cos i did delete it. Right click was broken though all of a sudden stopping me from pasting. I could have added a Notebook, but i should have rather refreshed my toolbar settings, getting rid 0of memory, but 2 much was used for me 2 do that.
 * erm... also i thaught he didn't want 2 be admin and asked 2 be banned. also i thaught that if an Admin got banned, he/she will be a normal user when the ban lifts...

He's crazy!!!! i appologised and explained what happened and explain why i wouldn't make true vandalisms (explaining this on Radiata), then he calls me a liar and bans me extra Week!!! he also said somat about it being better to swith all athiest stuff to the apparently true belief of Christianity (if you don't know of it, its the one that says anything over 5000 years old isn't real)


 * Hi Forerunner. Have you tried talking to the other admins on this wiki about it? Where is the conversation where he's saying you lied? Was this on IRC? Angela (talk) 20:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * no t'was on Radiata. Then ge goes on saying that i' keep demanding him 2 unblock me, i only asked why i was blocked (for further info). Tho i have been gthinking of getting his MSN (got RRs*cough*Kyles*cough* Email).

Also it was hard to know it was his comment i deleted (i swear i removed it cos it was on the wrong chapter) due to users making their code directly instead of making a special template ie.
 * well he can get rid of my comments and then we're even

Why did RR ban me?? and how can you do harrasment of wikia? When have i provoked someone? And Sockpuppetry! I created Chief2552 ages ago and he already knew cos i said on Chief2552s page that it was a sockpuppet designed cos an error in Forerunner stopped me from switchin skin preferences to monobook  but after a month a went on a school computer and managed 2 switch it there.

Blocked
Hi. I'm contacting you regarding my recent blocking from the Kingdom Hearts Wikia (I have tried using the contact form but have had no reply, I think there may be a problem with my browser...) In short, it has been claimed that my account is a sockpuppet for another user, which it is not. For the full discussion, please see my user talk: http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Adamcox82.

He is a Burecrat at Fantendo, can you please take those powers away? He has been spamming the MediaWiki titles. Thank you in advance.

 * I don't see any signs of spamming. Have you discussed this with him or anyone else on the wiki? Being a bureaucrat just means he can make other users into admins. Any admin can edit the MediaWiki messages. Angela (talk) 20:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

StarCraft wiki
StarCraft wiki is in serious need of improvement, especially considering that is seems to have little to nothing in terms of common.css (for example, the "wikitable" class does not exist.) I would be happy to become an Admin on StarCraft wiki and work to fix these things. Thank You, SigmaEpsilon 03:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * PsiSeveredHead and Shdwlink1993 are bureaucrats there and can make you an admin or fix the stylesheets. Angela (talk) 20:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Swedish Star Wars Fanon Wiki
Hello. As the founder of the Swedish Star Wars Fanon Wiki I would like to change the name of the wiki, could you please change it to just "Star Wars Fanon". I contacted Jack Phoenix, an administrator here on Wikia on the SSWFW about this question, he told me to contact the Community team wich would contact the Technical team. --N@M3Le$, administrator of SSWFW.


 * Ok, I'll see if TOR can do this. Angela (talk) 20:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! The only problem now is that the title of the wiki is the same as before, could you see if they can fix it to just "Star Wars Fanon". --N@M3Le$, administrator of SSWFW.


 * Hello again. I noticed you were online, so I have a question. Could you remove Bureaucrat powers from Neomessiah and Sysop powers from Bub on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki? They are both listed as retired, and I doubt either of them is coming back. With that space 'open', we can replace them with new Sysops and Bureaucrats. Thanks. 22:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * There's no limit on the number of admins, so you don't need to remove them in order to add new ones. I suggest you leave them a message on their talk pages or email them first to see if you can convince them to come back to the wiki. I think that would be better than leaving them to remain inactive. Angela (talk) 22:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I realize there's no limit, but its better than just leaving those positions unused. Neomessiah left back in September (though he had a minor edit in December) and we talked to Bub about it, and he seemed quite intent on leaving. 22:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Bub is obviously still active. He edited just a few days ago to comment on a CurrentBigThing's request for adminship. Just because he said he was busy a month ago really is no reason to try and remove useful admin tools from him without discussing that with him. Neomessiah is the founder of that wiki so I don't really understand why you'd want to remove adminship from him. It's quite possible he will come back - people often take a wiki break for a few months. You could discuss this with the swfanon community one he has been gone for a year. Angela (talk) 23:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright then, I'll discuss it with him. 23:06, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Some changes
Hello! Sorry for giving you so much work, but is it possible to do the following things on TranslateWiki: Again, sorry for giving you so much work, but it is not urgent.
 * The possibility to make titles in the main namespace in lowercase like in Wiktionary (but only in main namespace if possible)
 * Enable interwikilinks to Wiktionary
 * Make a namespace . (There are already a few pages, see here)
 * Make a namespace, which automatically redirects to the namespace   That is easier for linking etc.

Thank you very much, 16:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It is important, like in Wiktionary. I know this would breaking links, but now TranslateWiki is still small, and most links link already to pages in lowercase.
 * Yes, but I mean on the left, under the tools.
 * In the Wiktionaries, there are translations at the pages of words in the content language. The words in other languages link to the translation into the content language. In TranslateWiki, there are translations at every page of every language. Instead of updating every translation of one word, I use a template for each word. For those templates, I would use this namespace. That would be better to have a 'separation' between translation templates and normal templates. If an automatic redirect is not possible, then would be the namespace  better, instead of the long.
 * 17:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * About the interwiki links, maybe you're right.
 * I know OmegaWiki, and that was also a proposal for a Wikimedia project, but it didn't become a Wikimedia project. I think it is because OmegaWiki uses Wikidata, and that is not easy for new users. The idea of OmegaWiki is good, but maybe TranslateWiki would better fit in the policy of Wikimedia projects.
 * 18:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * That was the aim before I adopted it, now making a free multilingual wiki to translate words and short sentences. 19:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Just a question: Are you going to do this or not? 14:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

The problem is, "multilingual" isn't a language... But yes, it is all right. I will find a solution. 21:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Adopting SimCity
Hi Angela, I would like to adopt SimCity and was hoping I could be given administrative rights over the wiki. Tunheim started the wiki a year ago, but didn't make any articles for the wiki and has been inactive for nearly a year. So far I've created four articles along with adding a good amount of content to the main page. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to contribute more in the future, but want to establish myself as the adopter. Jelx 19:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for giving me the opportunity, I appreciate it. I'll definitely be sure to ask for help if I need to :) Thanks again. Jelx 19:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Angela, me again. User TurtleShroom has requested adminship. Usually I would wait until a member has been active for several months, but since he was there before me and has contributed I feel I should consider him as admin. Before I do, however, I was wondering 1) How do I make users admins and 2) What are admin powers in terms of other admins? Thanks in advance. Jelx 21:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks again Angela, I appreciate the help! Jelx 22:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Skin
Dear Angela

Is there any way to make Monobook the default of our Wiki? I asked this question at forum but did not received any clear answer. --Asp 09:45, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * We'd prefer to deal with the problems you see with the new skin instead of simply removing it. We're also running tests to show how the new skins lead to increased visitors and editors, which is why it's important for wikis to maintain the default. However, individual users can change to monobook without logging in via this link if they want to. Angela (talk) 11:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikiality blog posts
I'm not sure if maybe I've overloaded the wiki-to-blog message, but nothing seems to be posting. I tried posting a piece yesterday which did not appear, so I attempted to fix what I thought might be the problem. I made several more attempts, just trying different small tweaks for things that have sometimes caused hangups in the past (punctuation in title line, formatting in body, spacing issues, version of image file, etc.). Nothing seemed to work, so I finally gave up on that one and posted a new piece for today. Unfortunately, the new post is not showing up either, and I'm afraid that messing with it any more at this point might just make things worse.

When you get a moment, could you take a look? Please let me know where I made the mistake - it's been been going really well for the past few weeks, so I want to make sure I don't duplicate the error. Many thanks for your help with this! --thisniss 06:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I saw that you've been working on it with not much luck. If I were a (more) paranoid person, I might think that this was some kind of, um, punishment for my last "successful" post.  hmmmm... Sorry. --thisniss 14:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much. I saw this come back on last night, yay! I'm going to try another post now as a test (one of the ones that didn't work before), but as long as it works I think everything is running well for now. I would like to talk to you more generally about the blog when you have some time, but I'll get in touch about that later (I'm running out the door to teach class, yipes). Thanks again - you rock!!!  --thisniss 13:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * P.S. On an unrelated note, we're going to reach 7,000 articles today at Wikiality!

So... I tried reposting the entry from the 5th, which was the first one to "go missing" before the blog came back online today. It hasn't posted after 5ish hours, so I guess it's still buggy somehow. I've looked at the code every way I can think to, and reworked the post a dozen times since it first appeared broken, but I really can't see anything significantly different in this post from several others of the same form that have successfully posted in the past. I may just be missing some small, obvious thing, but I don't get it. Clearly, if there is something that I'm doing wrong here I want to know what it is so that I can stop doing it! --thisniss 18:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Swears of Wikia
although Wikia has that free speach stuff, i don't think its appropriate for some words. here, the offencive word 'Ret%£d' (had 2 partialy cencour it) is used several times, this seams offencive. There are at least 200 members who have forms of Autism in Wikia (and some unsignd) who are bullied with that word in public, ket alone the Internet. Frrnr

Who is looking arfter this Wiki ???
To Angela

Hi im Joshua (User: Link Prime). People call me link due to liking of Transformers. I was wondering if you knew who is taking care of TELETRAAN 1. The wiki is not one of the best wikis i've seen but its got loads of info. Im not trying to critisise it but I would like to take on the positions in charge of the wiki so that I can change a few things to make it better. I might of not as been here as long as other members but I would like to take care of it. Like for eg. There are some Cursing words that i would like to get rid of. And stop the people who Vandelise the wiki. My love for the "Transformers" Is off the charts and I can't stand around and let this happen. If it wasen't for Teletraan 1 I would not know a quarter of my knowledge.

Leave a messege at user account if possible.

Adopt Wikitroid
Hi Angela. I am requesting to adopt Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki. There's three admins, though two haven't edited since 2005 and the third last edited in December 2006. The wiki is also not very active. Based on the WikiStats, there's about eight active users, though most have made > 10 edits. I just found the wiki recently and would like to adopt it and improve it. I've already set up help pages, project pages, templates, forums, and other things. So leave me a message on my talk page on Wikitroid after you've decided on this.

ru.rpg adoption
Dear Angela! You might remember me as an admin of D&D Wikia which I adopted in December last year (probably not, but a reminder like that never hurts ;) ). Since that time I've been not a daily active, but a dedicated Wikian nevertheless, contributing to not only D&D Wikia, but also to some others, and not only in the area of editing (for example, the Dragon Ball Wikia logo was drawn by me). The point is, I decided to adopt another Wikia: the RU.RPG one. As you can see from the edit history, it has been founded in November 2006 and did not have even one edit since then (before me): the founder did not make his own user page, let alone the main page of the wiki. Needless to say, it was competely empty and deserted when I stumbled upon it. It was me who put it for adoption on the 5th of July, but after talking to a couple of friends the next day we decided to try to run it ourselves. Following the adoption rules, I've edited it for a week. There are 13 pages now, several templates, categories, and we are discussing the logo (all gaming wikis have a dice for a logo, so it's hard to come up with something original).

I am a member of an already existing Russian-speaking role-playing discussion community with 16779 forum users, of which I am the fourth most active. Of course, not all of them will contribute, but some of them will if I encourage them well enough ;) A group of people there are already consistently contributing to the Russian Wikipedia, but you know how hard it is to do it in an all-purpose wiki as opposed to a topic-driven one (for example, they were allowed to create only one "Terms used in RPG" page with a short list, while I see this to be a huge category of articles). I hope to invite them to the RPG Wikia, and the content they made at WP can certainly be used as a starting point. Also there is a RPG-related Russian wiki on a different website with the lack of active users, user-friendly engine, good hosting, etc. I'll try to convince them to merge our projects (not sure that'll work out, though). There are also some people interested in the theory of RPG, and they simply don't have any place do go if they want to write about it in Russian--I guess it would be relatively easy to get them. Besides that, I run several smaller wikis (on PBwiki, WikiDot, localhost, etc) with approx.500 articles total--when license status permits, I'll move their content to the Russian RPG Wikia and encourage other people to do the same.

Those are the plans. If you like it, please make me an admin and a bureaucrat there. Cheers, Radaghast 14:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Hello Angela. We have a sockpuppeting problem at the Transformers Fanon Wiki, where we think that ItsWalky and Rotty are the same people. The ItsWalky denies he is Rotty, but we are still suspicious. Can you use CheckUser to see? Our evidence is as follows:
 * Rotty has 2 contribs which are both on the FA Nomination page.
 * The FA Nomination he voted on was ItsWalky's
 * He did not do anything else on the entire site
 * His vote was a minute after ItsWalky's
 * They are the only two people voting for it
 * Thank you for your time Angela. We already tried to use CheckUser, but it said only staff could use it. Thanks.&mdash; Darthtyler Talk 15:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Requesting Adminship of "Monster Hunter Wiki"
Hi Angela! The current admin over at the Monster Hunter Wiki is DeathSlayer, but he's been inactive for about a month. I know he's not interested because I contacted him on AIM, and he told me so.

When he joined, he only made one page, which I still fixed up. When I joined, in about 3 days I had already made about 50-60 articles.

I'm the only person so far consistently contributing. If you'd make me an admin for me, it'd be a great help to further progress the wiki. Thanks for your time! PitchBlack696 11:33, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you! PitchBlack696 19:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thats strange
When i log in and click go on the search for User:Angela, it comes up with no matches. but if i search User: Angela it does, but sends me to ur userpage which is written User:Angela so basicaly i'm confused with the use of Spaces. F


 * There's a bug we're aware of that causes problems when searching for anything with a colon in it. Angela (talk) 18:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Halopedia again
RelentessRecusant blocked me for...


 * 1) Your personal attacks against users regarding certain opinionated topics
 * 2) Your harassment of myself
 * 3) Sockpuppeting on IRC and hostile noncompliance to polite requests to stop
 * 4) Suspected sockpuppeteering on Halopedia
 * 5) General disruptive behavior on Halopedia and on the IRC

my defence

(Note: this has been edited so that i'm talking to you and talking about R2)
 * 1) Me + GPT called it off ages ago + we're even, i told You whist i was blocked that he could get rid of ma comment to become equal ages ago.
 * 2) harassment is if i followed him everywear!! All i did was get an Email from him and suggested it was his name.
 * 3) Cos he banned Forerunner whilst i was sayin somat and he neva said i should stop. some friends found out that IP was SIMILAR and told RR and he kicked me out saying sockpuppet (or somat like that)
 * 4) I already know Chief2552 is a sockpuppet i designed him back in Febuary. (cos the computer i used wasn'tgood and when i went on a skin think it was cologneblue, it stopped me from changing skins and clicking on edit)
 * 5) IRC=saying his name (thats not distruptive! anyway it never occured to him to say MY name) Halopedia=deleting a comment which was in the wrong Category but appologised already!!!

in fact i'm gettin tired of Halopedia and am planning to use another wiki instead. help, F


 * You should not reveal personal information about a user that you got from an email. I suggest you find a different wiki to edit whilst you're blocked on the halo wiki. Angela (talk) 18:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Dear Angela, ma'am, with all due respect, I have discussed the permanent block of Forerunner with Sannse and several other users, including administrators, before carrying it out. If there is an issue with my conduct, please let me know, and I'd be glad to share my thoughts about it with you and also to change my behavior! :-) Cheers, User:RelentlessRecusant 04:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * He has his email on his userpage on Wikia central and Wikipedia. when you contact him his name is replied from him. anyone could have done that and figured that out. Also he did not ask Sannse. i checked Sannse's talk page nothing...Halopedias redirects to this 1. F
 * Sorry for prying but F, I believe the conversation RelentessRecusant is talking about might have happened on Wikia's IRC..just guessing.-- Cometstyles 21:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Logo and Background Color
Hey Angela, back again.

1) Does the logo HAVE to be .png? 'Cause I already made a logo, I just dont know how to actually put it up. Here's the link to the logo: http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Image:MonsterHunter.jpg

2) After an hour of trying to configure the background color and still failing, now I come for help.

What I'm aiming for is:


 * Background Color: "wheat"
 * Labels: A darker brown than wheat, but still able to comfortably see the black text.
 * Normal Links: Brown
 * Wanted/Empty Links: Still red.
 * Regular Text: Still black.

3) And just a question, for changes to show on the entire site, you would have to put the code in the monobook right? Sorry for asking for so much, but I'd really appreciate it. PitchBlack696 18:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Angela! It looks great. But can you make it a little horizontally smaller so it can line up with the line? It's unpleasing to have it go over the line like that. I tried to do it myself to save time for you, but couldnt. PitchBlack696 23:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not completely sure what you mean by that, but sure, try it. I just don't like how your eye notices the line going up into the picture like that. PitchBlack696 00:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Angela? PitchBlack696 23:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I changed w:c:monsterhunter:MediaWiki:Common.css which should fix the problem. If you still see it, try refreshing your cache of that page by pressing Ctrl and F5 on it. Let me know if that doesn't help. Angela (talk) 23:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I went on a friends computer the other day and it looks great. For some reason, I cant see it on my own computer, even though I refreshed and restarted. But it's okay, I'll just ignore it. As long as other people see it that way, I'm fine. Thanks for the help, I'll come back later if I ever need help. =) PitchBlack696 16:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

mario wiki
is it possible for me to adopt mario wiki, since you said it "needs a founder"?  Phil.e.  [Talk to me] 00:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

thank you! :D  Phil.e.   [Talk to me] 01:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Strange formating
Is there a way for me to be able to see Wikia in the old site format when it looked like Wikipedia? Because this is just too confusing, and I can't find my way around anymore.


 * Yes, you can choose the monobook skin in your preferences, or if you don't want to log in, you can switch to monobook using this link. Angela (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

can u change the site name (not adress) cos i want Biohazard Wiki instead of Resident Evil Wiki which my predecessor used. this way it has more origonality and also is smaller sized name. F

Since it is the Resident Evil Wiki, I think the original name is better since it will help people to find the site when they're searching for it. Have you tried discussing this with anyone on the wiki? Angela (talk) 18:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Request for Forums associated with a wiki
http://geomag.wikia.com/wiki/Geomag_Forum_Proposal

The people on the Geomag forum miss a place where they can have threaded chats about Geomag topics: the wiki feels like a place where more formal writeups of our models belong.

Has the Wikia staff considered hosting forums for the wikis - with the usual threading and ability to have messages with embedded pictures.

--Karl Horton 15:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * We're trialing this with the Runescape wiki. See their forum. Would that be useful for the Geomag wiki? Do you think many people would use it? Angela (talk) 18:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I liked the look of that: but they didn't like me using their board as a testing ground .... oops .... I got rebuked:

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk%3AKarl_Horton

To answer your question about usage, I think it would be fairly low - no more that a dozen posters right now. If you'd like to enable the Geomag wiki with that, it would be great, thanks.

meanwhile other contributors are looking for alternative forum hosting: the common view is that both types of interaction are appropriate for the Geomag group.

--Karl Horton 01:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll reply on the geomag wiki. Angela (talk) 01:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

He-Man wiki
Hello, thanks a ton for getting the He-Man wiki up and running! I'm wondering though if it's too late to tweak the title and the name of the site. "he-man.wikia.com" would be much better than "heman.wikia.com", as it's the correct spelling of the character's name. Additionally, I think I'd prefer the namespace be "Wiki Grayskull" rather than "Castle Grayskull," to avoid confusion with the fictional location itself and make the site easier to promote. If these things can't be changed, I understand, but if it's possible, I'd be deeply grateful to have it happen. Thanks for your time. --Proudhug 18:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hyphens in URLs have caused problems on Wikia before. It's quite easy for a setting to go a bit wrong and wiki becomes inaccessible, so we avoid using any charatcers like that. I can change the project namespace though. Angela (talk) 18:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks a lot. I knew it wasn't impossible, though, since the X-Files Wiki has a hypen in its URL. --Proudhug 18:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Aeres Wikia
Hello Angela, I've just found out that on the information label of the Aeres Wikia you've written that it's a constructed language. Actually it isn't. The official name is "Ourish". Shall I change the information label? -Markvondeegel 10:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's fine to change the category there. I misunderstood the request. Angela (talk) 13:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Everybody can! I didn't knew the English name, so I used the normal aeres-name. 4512980355a 13:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Foreign Friends
on my ResidentEvil wiki on the MediaWiki:Sidebar... i decided to send a link to an Italian Resident Evil wiki. but i don't know its name. i know its it.residentevil.wikia.com but i wanted the W:C: thing. Help!!!F


 * You can link to it using w:c:it.residentevil . Angela (talk) 16:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikis needing logos
Hi Angela! I was wondering if it would be okay for me to create a page in the forum where people can list wikis that need a logo? Is that what Forum:Logo creation campaign is for, or is there already a place for this? If not, I'll create a page in the forum. Thanks! Swannie talk to me 21:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Forum:Logo creation campaign can be used for that, but I suggest you check with Muppets101 since he was talking about starting a group of people who could work on logos. Angela (talk) 22:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Gamesystems
Hi, Angela. Is it possible to claim a wiki? Because I was looking for information on video game consoles because I was going to buy one soon, and I found this wiki. I looked on the recent changes and there were no edits. I looked at Great White's (the founder's) contributions and he last made an edit June 17th which was close to one month ago. It looks as if the founder completely abandoned his/her's wiki. Great White isn't an admin anymore, he/she probably requested it, but the wiki is completely inactive. I really want to revive the wiki and make it active, so, can you give me admin and bureacrat access on the wiki? Thanks. Zapdos 01:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Hello Angela, Just a quick question regarding wiki's which have been quite dormant for a very long time. I saw a couple of this wiki's around and I was wondering if we have something like Wiki's needing adoption for those wiki's which have been created but for a long time there has been no edits or real contributions done to that wiki..Just being curious..-- Cometstyles 10:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

hello
hello angela i am requesting to be an administrator on the titanic wiki, as only me and forerunner have edited it, and it has been around a fair time, thank you, user:captain-poison
 * Erm... let me just point out that he has only made 8 contribuions... 4 eing normal pages.whilst i made like 15 lol. still fine tho. He's thankful he got to be admin. F

Friends
no one seems to be editing. the last edit not from me was you on the 30th on June. Can you recoment anything that will raise the popularity? F

Advertize
I am General Grham of the Transformers Fanon Wiki and I was wondering if you could think of ways that we could advertize our wiki. Could you help us out? I'd prefer a message on our wiki, if that isn't too much trouble. General Grhamtalk 01:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Logo problems
Hi Angela! I am having troubles with uploading the logo for Symbolism Wiki. I am uploading it as Wiki.png, but it says that the "file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension". Here is a link to the logo I want uploaded:. Thanks! <font color=Crimson>Swannie <font color=DodgerBlue>talk to me 15:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You need to convert it to a png file first. You can either use image editing software, or iaza.com to do that. I'll fix this one for you. Angela (talk) 16:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Adopt Micropedia
Hello. I would like to adopt the Windows wiki. The two sysops haven't been active since January and April, and the last recent edit (besides mine) was in June by an unregistered IP adress. The wiki is so empty and abandoned that I would like to adopt it and get it running again. Please leave a message on my ImagineWiki talk page after your conclusion. Thanks, — JuWki ¤ Home page ♦ Ξ Talk 14:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Adopt Mechapedia
Hi, I would like to adopt the Mechapedia. I made a request for the wiki but for some reasons I never noticed that it has been made into a wiki. ^^;.  - Valiant (talk)

Adoption request
Hi, I would like to develop, but since I wrote about it, there was one vandalism. Can I adopt it, since there was no sysop for about a year on wastepedia? Thx Baba Jaga 10:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm assuming you meant pl.wastepedia.wikia.com, not pl.wikia.com and I've made you an admin there. Let me know if that wasn't correct. Angela (talk) 11:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

apperance of the Vol Libre wiki
I just tried to logout from my user account on the new wiki (Vol Libre) you created today, and I saw that the appearance is totally different for unregistred users. I'm affraid this could bother the users who are accustomed to wikipedia. How can I set the apperance so that everybody sees the classical monobook skin like on most wikis ? --PiRK
 * I asked for help on IRC but there they said only staff can set Monobook as the default skin instead of smoke. --PiRK 21:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Swedish Star Wars Fanon Wiki
Hi! You fixed the title of our wiki to just Star Wars Fanon, but still the browser says on the top "Swedish Star Wars Fanon". Could you fix that to just "Star Wars Fanon"? And also how do I add messages on the wiki that have that little "dismiss"-button? Thank you. N@M3Le$

Viruses
Hi again, Angela. The Monster Hunter Wiki is actually being talked about on some forums and has picked up a couple editors. And we just reached about 80 articles today. And I've also learned quite a bit more about codes and templates.

I came here to ask something concerning viruses. Can viruses be inputted into a picture/image? And if the image is uploaded into the wiki, can the wiki get damaged in any way?

Please respond at my talk page on the MH Wiki. Which is ''here. PitchBlack696 21:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Deathslayer bringing problems
I'm sorry for "double posting" but something just came up thats pretty serious. I IM'd Deathslayer, the previous admin before me. And I asked him if he created the wiki, or he just found it. He stays quiet. Then 5 minutes later he just says "Banned", then doesnt respond again.

I look back at the wiki, and he blocked my name for an infinite time, saying I posted "wrong information." I was able to unblock myself though.

Can you please strip his powers of adminship and beaurocracy (sp?)? His immaturity, lack of communication, and arrogance only brings trouble. PitchBlack696 05:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * As supplementary information, at 10pm of July 28th (PST), Deathslayer popped in the channel asking if a "mod" can delete a wiki. He claimed he had people keep putting in incorrect information and people are getting mad, so the wiki is pointless.  After I told him the community can only abandon a wiki, not get a wiki deleted, he then asked if there is a way to delete multiple pages at once (which I took it to mean he intended to delete all articles in the wiki).  When I tried to ask him which articles were in contention, he avoided responding them.  I've pasted in the IRC log here; and if sannse, rieke, or yukichi has auto-logging on, you can cross-check my logs with theirs. -Afker 06:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Welcome back Angela. Theres no way of resolving the issue with Deathslayer; if I just IM him, he'll most likely come to the wiki and vandalise it, and probly get help from his friends. I think its best, and most safe if his administrative and beauracrative powers are taken away from him. And I would like to have the beaurocrat power. Please write back if you have any concerns or questions. PitchBlack696 08:30, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

He has an arrogant attitude that makes him think the wiki is his and he can do whatever he wants to it if he wanted to. After asking him a simple question, even nicely, he doesnt say a word and just blocks me from the wiki. He came to get help to delete the wiki, and accuses me that incorrect information is being put up (when he did nothing to help or communicate, and he only did one article which was written last year) and made himself look like a fool in the log Afker put here. He's never done anything to help, not even be neutral. He just causes problems when theres no need for it at all. PitchBlack696 08:58, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Any help..? If you don't want to take away his powers can you please atleast just give me beaurocrative powers? PitchBlack696 07:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for not writing back, I thought you didn't respond until Splarka pointed it out. But okay, I agree. I just thought every wiki should have at least one bureaucrat. Cheers. PitchBlack696 17:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Pro Wrestling Wikia
Hi Angela. At Pro Wrestling Wikia, I'm in a bit of a situation. I'm sorta going on an indefinite wikibreak right now, for reasons I don't want to address on-wiki. Because of this I'm pretty much inactive over all of Wikipedia and Wikia. There seems to be a dispute at Pro Wrestling Wikia's Talk:Main Page there, and I don't have time to review the situation they are having. If you could head over to Pro Wrestling Wikia and see what the two users are talking about, and guide them, I would most definantly appreciate it.
