MediaWiki:Forum-policies-and-faq

Welcome
This is a place to get help from, or to help, other members of the Wikia community. No question is too small or insignificant, so feel free to ask away. If you are a new user, it can be helpful to read through the help pages first, as well as browse existing forum threads, before you post.

Forum policies
Before contributing to the Wikia Community Central Forums, please keep in mind a couple of best practices for conduct:

Be nice and treat people with respect.
 * People from all around the world read and edit this wiki and its forums. Like any other collaborative project, not everyone will agree all the time. Keep discussions civil and be open minded about differing opinions. We're all here because we love the same topic.

Try to find existing discussions first, but don't be afraid to start a new thread.
 * Please take a moment to sift through the Forum boards to see if a discussion already exists about the question you have. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, go ahead and start a new discussion!

Forum FAQ
How do I stay on top of discussions I'm interested in?
 * With a Wikia user account, you can follow specific conversations and receive notifications (either on-site or via email) if a discussion has more activity. Be sure to sign up for a Wikia account if you don't already have one.

What are Kudos?
 * If you find a particular discussion or reply interesting, well thought out, or amusing you can show direct appreciation by giving it Kudos. They can be helpful in voting situations, too.

What are Topics?
 * Topics help to categorize threads according to specific subjects. Click a Topic listed at the bottom of the thread, and you'll be taken to a Topic page showing other threads about that subject.

Guidelines
A few pointers to remember when posting to the forum:


 * Please make the title as specific as possible. Titles such as "Problem - need help" give others no indication of what might be going on.


 * Provide a link to the wiki you need help with in your post, as well as details about your browser and operating system if appropriate.


 * Do not post requests for more editors to edit your wiki that you helped start up. Instead, read this article. It is unlikely you will find users interested in the same topic as your wiki on this forum.


 * If you'd like to adopt a wiki, or gain administrator rights, click here.


 * If you need specific help from Wikia Staff, you can contact them at Special:Contact


 * To attract the attention of Wikia staff to a specific discussion, please use Special:Contact and include a link to the specific forum thread, with details about why staff input is needed.
