Steven Universe wiki
I have a request from the Steven universe wiki to help fix some of the actual errors in the wiki Special CSS.Along with on wanting to simplifiy and reduce the coding amount that it actually takes for the whole wiki itself to function.I would also like to make the request on if it is possible for users that are members of the staff on the Steven universe wiki that they get to see there names in color along with them being able to see their own badges on there end.Due to them not being about to see there badges and names on there end of the wiki I ask for the help with this request.So sorry to trouble you but I've done everything up to my knowledge and tried to make the coding less messy as possible, but that induced a few errors into the coding along with the chat lagging less itself.But when certain coding is removed their is a gold after coloration on the front page where the dark blue is actually suppose to be so thank you I hope you can help us fix this issue.

P.S: Here is the actual link to the Special CSS: (http://steven-universe.wikia.com/wiki/Special:CSS)

Shokugeki no Soma Wiki
Hi, I'm Pscj, the bureaucrat for the Shokugeki no Soma Wiki. In this page, there's a tabber that looks pretty plain because it's in default. So, how do I change it? And if it's possible, can you guys here change it to a more presentable one? Sometinhg, maroon in colour and the borders being semi-circular instead of rectagled.

 * Hi Pscj. You can customize the appearance of tabber by following the directions on this page at Developers Wiki. You'll just want to replace the green background color (


 * 1) ) in the example code with a maroon color. You can easily generate HTML color values at http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png  (talk)  21:13, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

Steven Universe Roleplay Wiki
Hey! :D

On my wiki, I've been trying to import nunito font. But whenever I add it to the CSS, I get this:

"@import isn't allowed here"

So...can you show me how to correctly code it? It would help a lot. Sticks the Badger (talk) 02:00, April 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Sticks the Badger. The line of CSS that you used is correct, and the Nunito font is working properly. If you didn't see it working right after adding the CSS, it was probably due to cache needing to update. If you experience any more trouble, use the form at Special:Contact to get a faster response.

Hello! First off I'd like to thank you all for the initiative you take to help communities it is very kind and effective.

With that in mind, I was hoping some of you could help me out with my wiki (legomarveldc.wikia.com). The size of the wiki is relatively large (for the topic at least) with 296 pages but the community is rather small with only two active contributors :(

I'd like to attract more people toward my wiki. I have tried advertising and only a few people come but generally do not stay active. Anyways I'd really appreciate if you guys will help out.

Orphan Black Wiki.
Hi Ii'm Selena and I am one of the admins at the Orphan Black Wiki (click on the link so it can take you to it) and I am submitting this request cause I would appreciate the help very much to make the wiki look more "wow". So in the show there two sets of clones the Castor (males) and the Leda(females) clones. I was wondering if you could have them each on one side of the wiki(castors on one side and leda on the other) Using  and maybe on a background or color scheme similar to the opening credits intro.The wikia icon could then be a piece of DNA and I'm thinking of broken mirror concept with strands of DNA connecting each individual clone. If not, then something like the the last pic in the slider  with all the clones like that.Fearless Diva 10:15, May 6, 2015 (UTC)

Moxie Teenz wiki
The site is: http://mtdolls.wikia.com/wiki/Moxie_teenz_Wiki

There is one admin for this site and it is me ( LivdollsinAfrica (talk) 11:27, May 8, 2015 (UTC) ). I have made active edits within the last 7 days. There are at least 50 pages. Less than 6 pages have a size smaller than 200 bytes. All pages are categorised. There is no discussion regarding choosing another admin or any unpleasantness.

The signed welcome tool is used.

There is no offensive language or inappropriate images.

Items required:

1)“Moxie Teenz wiki” picture – to match the packaging (in yellow, pink and white) (the one to the left of the navigation bar);

2) Background/skin – to match the packaging, colour to be the pink colour on the packaging. While I state a pink colour is desired – the site does not wish to have the Barbie Pink colour scheme – in fact if we could get away from pink & reds – it would be a welcome change;

3) Picture behind the navigation toolbar – the http://bratzfan.wikia.com/wiki/Bratz_Wiki has this;

4) The colour of the navigation bar could remain red but it could also change to a bright blue (depending on the other colours selected);

5) Flavicon – anything – perhaps a tiny teddy bear (only animal used for this doll line) or letters MT in dark yellow.

http://www.amyswrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/moxie-teenz-arizona.jpg has a screenshot of what I believe is the website that is no longer valid. Note the four girl dolls are pictured and each has her own script in a pale cyan blue colour.

Any help would be gratefully received - the site needs a designer or graphic artist touch! It would be appreciated if the M and T of Moxie Teenz could be capitals - but its not set in stone 8-)

RPWiki
I'd like to request some second opinions and ideas on the design of RPWiki. I think it overall looks good, though I was curious about ways to make the main page a bit more visual.

Also, this kind of page might require more image as well: c:rp:Role Play Wiki:Guidelines, c:rp:Role Play Wiki:About. Just to make it a bit happier and less boring to read. But I'm not entirely sure what kind of images? I usually look in the database of creative commons images for ones that I can use freely (with or without editing - GIMP is my friend).

Regarding my infoboxes, such as c:rp:Template:Ibx location, I'm stuck with trying to get rid of placeholders (which I can't because of sometimes leaving parameters empty or something).

For the rest I was wondering if there were any suggestions about the overall look of the wiki, or ideas to improve the general design, structure or templating.

I hope this makes sense! Feel free to ask any more questions :) YATTA ヽ( ° ヮ° )ﾉ ☆ 2015年05月17日、01:15:31

Hello! This is Tatertat here! I'm the head and now only admin on the Disney Channel Wikia. Im in need of three things... I believe that the wikia is all up to standards and I thank you guys in advance for the help.
 * 1) Our infoboxes (especially the show ones) are screwing up some of the pages...I believe there is something up with the codes within them but I cant seem to find anything.
 * 2) Disney Channel Summer is coming up and I would really appearicate the help of making a new background for the summer. The kickoff is officially next week and I have an idea to use, but it may be change due to the fact I don't know what the theme is yet.
 * 3) I want to do a award show type thing on the wikia and import outside polls but I don't know how if someone could either do it for me or teach me would be great.

Ice Age Wiki
Hello, I am the currently more active admin on the wiki and would like to request help. I would like to update the design of the wiki for the upcoming new movie next year and thinking that a spotlight when the time is right would also help. First of all i'm not sure what's up with short pages as only 24 are actually in danger of the limit plus a few of those are only slightly under the limit. Not sure what's going on here, there are articles over 1,000 bytes in there which is like every article. I set the limit to 5000 for this reason.

The following is what is requested: Any ideas or improvements to the above requests would be appreciated. I just had a chat finally with the other admin who is now on board with this request as noted below - Nerfmaster8 (talk) 06:57, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * favicon: I'm not so sure the icon is the best option. I did recently find a higher quality image that can be used but again not sure its effective. Improving the quality to image would be appreciated - the bottom has a fringe of pixels could you smooth that over?
 * logo: "Ice Age Wiki" in an ice block font
 * background: the other admin is having difficulty in getting an ice age theme up correctly, similar to glaciers (ice valley)
 * having main or notable characters would be great
 * a theme combining all current films would be great: icy tundra, melting vally, dinosaur world/jungle, tropical island
 * infobox: current one is css heavy and isn't user friendly in terms of changing stuff. I want to make it more user friendly so here is what is wanted in terms of changes
 * replace the current row for "scales/fur" with all possibilities (feathers, scales, fur etc)
 * default hide all blank rows
 * add something to link to gallery pages
 * theme of ice/glacier
 * could we get a better navigation bar, say ice themed?
 * Would it be possible to get all the film's and short's logos photoshopped out of the posters? I am planning on setting up a slider, which I can do but need those images.
 * If you could also remove the backgrounds to the stock image of main and notable characters that would be much appreciated. There should be images on the wiki, not sure if the quality is good enough.
 * I am creating a slider to be more interactive with viewers similar to Avatar - last airbender wiki.


 * As the other admin who's been MIA lately and coming back now, I also emphatically request a better background for the site. It's a little bland, and the background I initially developed just doesn't seem to cut it anymore.--Macrauchenia (talk) 05:28, May 28, 2015 (UTC)

Cry of Fear wiki (background music)
Hello, I'm the creator of the Cry of Fear wiki. I'd like to know if it's possible to add a background music for the main page of the wiki. If I'm correct, the Resident Evil wiki has this feature and I'd like to use it as well for the Cry of Fear wiki.

Hopefully I can get a positive answer. I didn't provided the background song to use as I'll wait for a reply to provide it.

Best regards, Coprus Grindor (talk) 09:01, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

It's not recommended to have background music on wikia especially on a main page. However, if you really want to, follow these instructions. 10:16, May 30, 2015 (UTC)
