Spammer
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 It was an out of date link to Wikicities instead of Wikia.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.

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://www.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tirkon
 * and two in german:
 * 2) http://de.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon
 * 3) http://www.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://www.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tirkon I can set an interwiki link to "de:Benutzer:Tirkon" which aims for user account 3) http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon. And in user account 3) http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Benutzer:Tirkon I can set an interwiki link to "en:User:Tirkon" which aims for user account 1) http://www.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://www.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://www.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://www.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://www.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 (www.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
