Vandalism

 * On DoraWiki, there is pages I tagged for deletion there and I am going to keep watch on that wiki and I want to become a sysop there so I can help delete vandalism. Thanks.


 * I deleted the vandalism page. You are also not eligible to adopt a wiki. -- 21:04, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Sponsor links
Do Sponser Links make my wiki appear on the around wikias network? And if so, how long does it last? Please put you're answer on my talk page on my wiki. The link is here. Tell me please.AnyGuy 21:09, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, those are spotlights. Angela 23:40, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * That is good to know. I've read the spotlights page, and it doesn't seem to make much sense. This wiki had a spotlight for a while (that is how I found it), and it had less then 100 pages, and it still does. explain this please, but thanks for the help.AnyGuy 00:12, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sometimes the Content Team make exceptions as they might spotlight a wiki they want to promote, for example. Angela 05:23, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, well I hope when I learn how to change the skin and logo and background, I'll send a spotlight request.AnyGuy 16:29, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Star Trek help
Hi Angela, I have kind of a strange situation here on Memory Beta - http://startrek.wikia.com

I'm the only active bureaucrat, and I've made some efforts to nominate a support staff of admins over the past year or two as the original bureaucrats moved on to other projects, but so far we have only one or two other active admins, and they do not focus on personal issues...

Meanwhile, I've been the subject of many personal attacks -- in the interest of openness, I've avoided bans and blocks in most cases as I can take a little heat if it means keeping the wiki running, but I've had my moments trying to defend myself.

However, I discovered a forum elsewhere online where several current and former Wikia users were planning these attacks as part of a grudge against me. I remain mostly in the Wikia site I use, so I certainly don't know how to approach this, but I find it very disturbing, as I found a post where a user mentioned they they objected to my admin nomination in 2006 and has been planning, with others, actions to undermine my authority since then.

I value my position being able to make sysop changes to the site data and it is very important to me that I keep up my work cataloguing link lists of Trek topics. However, I find myself unprepared to take a leadership role in the light of the hostility being planned and perpetrated.

I've contacted you before for technical issues but I don't know where else on Wikia to go for help of this nature, so I appreciate any time and guidance you might have to protect the MB wiki. Thank you and sorry to trouble you with this. -- Captain MKB 08:23, February 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * It might be better to use special:contact for this. Please could you send some links so I can try to better understand the situation? Thanks, Angela 10:00, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe I've read some of the very stuff here at Community Central. I took the remarks in comments/talk pages as people trying to sell an agenda against wikia, but sounds like some of them are having a blast over there. If you get attacked with random article deletions, don't hesitate to call me over there to help undo vandal edits. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  12:36, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

 * You just did it. You usually do it by clicking an "edit" button on the page, or you might see a link like "leave a new message" which you can click instead. Angela 00:35, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

House of Anubis Wiki
I'm so sorry for what I did on House of Anubis Wiki i was selfish and i was only doing it for the badges you might not forgive me but I might as well resign from wikia sense I don't know how to use it properly

Category help
Cenarulez 10:42, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

I have got a little question.

When I make a Category and put in some pages about that category I get a strange block with text in that page. like over here: http://martialempires.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Classes

how do i get them away?


 * An extract of text is shown if the article has no image. You may be able to get more help on this on the forums. Angela

Gravity theory
I am mkpaulo constantino of korean domain. Actually I have developed inverse biquadrate gravity theory and applied it for history of solar system. Just monthes ago, I have realised that Stellar storis are abundant in mythology which might be from infinity of time.

If you give me helper right, I would like to interprete hundreds of hypothesis demodulated from traditionally modulated mythological story as follows.

sincerely yours, Mkpaulo 12:21, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

 * 2) Drift of Mu continent from Earth to the moon
 * 3) etc.


 * You are welcome to create a wiki about this topic. When you create one, you automatically get admin rights. Helper rights aren't needed to be able to share this sort of content. Angela 09:14, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal
I have "rolled back" to a previous version of Help:Edit. I am a member of borderlands wiki and seen the page wipes of nik224 on the page http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity. I do not know how to report this officially on this wiki. Just thought you would like to know. 06:34, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've blocked that user. If it happens again, a good place to report vandalism is here. Angela 11:09, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Nexus
I am saying that I will cease vandalism and discontinue use of all sock puppets but for my actual account, this one. I will continue to edit, should you give me that privilege. All I'm asking for is a second chance, that's it. If you wish to give me that second chance, thank you. If you do not, so be it.

Renaming question
A couple users on Bully Wiki (http://bullygame.wikia.com) have started a vote on whether to have the wiki moved to http://bully.wikia.com which currently redirects to bullygame.wikia.com. I decided to ask you if that was even possible because if it isn't, the vote is pointless. I don't have an opinion yet and I'm not asking you to take sides. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 20:32, March 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * yes, it's possible to change the URL for this wiki to bully.wikia.com. Just send a message to staff using special:contact to request that. Angela 04:09, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

New Wikia Question
Hi, i'm a new user so I'm just asking this question, please don't blame me if I've asked something very wrong beacause I'm really Isolated from Society and so. Is it possible to create a privert Wiki for a group work purpose? As you can see, wiki pages can update people like which pages and been changed and so. I need to find site that can do that so I can share my ideas for the project easily. So please tell me if I can create a privert wiki with this site OR any other site. (IsolatedSilverWind 16:53, March 13, 2011 (UTC))


 * Sorry, but Wikia does not currently offer private wikis. Our wikis are designed to be publicly viewable and editable. You can find alternatives at WikiMatrix. Angela 04:21, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Resistance Fanon
Thank you for moving my wiki!! :D

I wanted to move it so it would pop up in Google search engines, but it hasn't yet without googling the whole title. I was surprised at how quickly you responded and I did not know you had a baby! I wish you and your child many wishes!!!


 * Google can sometimes take a while to update. It will happen, but I can't say exactly when since it's not something we have control over. Angela 11:14, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Rangeblock question
Hi. I'm from the Bully and Bully Fanon wikis. I know you've fielded a couple checkuser requests from me and the other bureaucrat on Bully Wikis lately, and I was wondering if it would be possible to get some kind of rangeblock. Our problem user Kingofawosmeness777 continues to make socks, and after the last one got caught he made a troll/vandal account, User:I slept with your mother last night. I can't apply a rangeblock because as a non-checkuser I can't see what IPs he's editing from - is it possible to appeal to Wikia staff for a rangeblock to be placed? McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 23:14, March 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've added 2 range blocks on both wikis which might help. Angela 03:46, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Oh... When I logged on Wikia I didn't have an email address, so that's why it might not be working. I don't know specificly what the problem with the Rich Text editor is, but all I know is that it dosen't load properly, therefore meaning I can't edit anything with the Rich Text editor. Hedgeidna97

Thanks for helping me. Hedgeidna97

Sonic News Network
Hello Angela. I feel that I deserved to be a rollback on the Sonic wiki. But I was denied. I need the rollback position for all the bad contributors I deal with! Most of them just said no out of hatred, just because I'm new when I wasn't. I left my other account because I hated that email address! I truly feel I should have become a rollback. I edit everyday! I know you are probably not allowed to make me a rollback but do you have any suggestions?

 Bullet Francisco ''' Don't be a jerk to the Bullet! ' 19:42, March 23, 2011 (UTC)''

Maybe try asking as kindly as possible, if they say no, I'd suggest for you to report to them of spam and vandalism that may need deleting/reverting that you may come around to. If they don't pay attention, you can always contact the VSTF.

Eglinton talk  21:08, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. But as of now I think I need help from Angela because the VSTF won't help me.  Hey! Bullet!  The Easter Bunny is Here!  00:31, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is up to the community on that wiki. It might be best for you to continue to be involved as a regular editor for longer first, or ask the admins there if they have any suggestions for you. You can still revert vandalism without rollback rights so this doesn't prevent you from being involved. Angela 04:34, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. thanks for the advice on everything.

Userpage deletion
Hi Angela,

Sorry bothering you, but is it possible to remove the content of my userpage (and of course also from Lars Washington from all the wikia projects. I started the process but I think there is more to it than just deleted the content. Thanks. Aesopos &#91;&#91;Afbeelding:Europese Unie.png&#124;18px&#93;&#93; 19:18, March 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * If there are admins on the wiki, you should ask them to delete it. If not, please send links to staff using special:contact. Angela 05:27, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Pokemon wiki
Oh and also, on the Pokemon wiki, there is one bureaucrat, Charitwo, and he is not active all the tome and no longer edits there much other than his talkpage. I believe there should be another bureaucrat and a Requests for Adminship page because the wiki is the number 1 wii gaming wiki and number 9 gaming wiki.  Hey! Bullet!  The Easter Bunny is Here!  19:06, March 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * You are not going to be an admin or a bureaucrat. Your behavior is not appropriate. If you continue bypassing local issues by funneling through staff (along with making up your own messages to appear like they came from staff), you will be blocked both here on central and locally on the Pokemon wiki. -- 19:49, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please excuse Charitwo he doesn't know what he is talking about right now, I never made up my own messages so they appeared from staff. And currently, I do not deserve to be an admin, my edit count is far too low. I was trying to make a suggestion to you because Charitwo won't listen to me and accuses me for stuff I did not do. Anyways, please ignore his message for it is entirely wrong. He has been threatening to block me because I undid his edit to his talkpage because he kept removing messages from it which is against the rules. And he is also threatening to block me because I'm going to you for answers.

Question
Can admins indef-block users? It's Yahzzee time! 02:37, March 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * It is possible to type 'infinite' in the block length field. It's not recommended for IP addresses since those can be used by different people. Angela 05:24, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Help
Hi I made a wiki and need help with some technical questions. Could you help?John Avery Whitaker 19:41, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not always available, so it's best to use the forums, or if you need staff help then you can send a request via special:contact. Angela 08:58, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Ongoing Vandalism
Hey Angela, first I would again like to thank you for blocking users earlier on the Mass Effect Wiki, however the problem is that the user still keeps coming back, and frankly, in my opinion, it is getting out of control. I know you already did a range block on IPs, but I was wondering if there is anything more you can do. Also the attacks are starting to get personal, the latest user name was Jack's the name, Lancer, deal with it. I have a few suspicions about why this is happening, mainly the ME Wiki’s speculation policy, but again is there anything more that can be done, or with your message on your talk page, can you point me in the right direction? Lancer1289 18:37, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * If this is still happening, please could you send a note to special:contact? Thanks, Angela 07:21, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism?
Hello, my username is Platypus09. It has come to my attention that you have recently banned a user named Jake R for vandalism across of wikia. Jake is a primary contributor to a wiki of which I am currently administrating, the |TDI Camps Wiki. If it is possible, I would like to know the circumstances of this ban and from where it has originated. Thank you. Amazing Race 18,  and Survivor: 21,   and Pokemon Black and White, oh my!  03:33, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Jake R isn't blocked. He was renamed today and there would have been a temporary automatic block in place whilst the rename was happening. This prevents the accidental use of the account before the rename is complete which can cause problems. It is complete now so he should be able to edit again. Angela 07:21, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Rangeblock request
So, one of Wikipedia's most determined vandals stalked me to Bully Wiki... I'd just as soon not mention the guy by name because he's obsessed with his block logs and blocked accounts. Anyway I'd like to request a block on the range that the following users came from.


 * w:c:bully:User:DADADDY
 * w:c:bully:User:DADADDYSAYSFUCKYOUALL
 * w:c:bully:User:FUCKYOUBITCH

SmashWiki
Hi. As you may have heard, the popular Smashwiki moved a while ago to another host site named Wikia. The community moved with it and copied the articles down there. We hope you respect this move, as we had conflicts with wikia before. However, wikia staff has refused to delete the SmashWiki here on wikia, despite the fact that the only users remaining are either one-time minor editors, vandals, or a handful of users (including me) that are community members who are just sticking by to stop the vandals. Even worse, User: DaNASCAT is blocking some of the vandal reverters only because we are notifying new users about the move. He has also made it clear that he is fiercly opposed to us turning the wiki into a more useful source (like a proposed Fanon wiki). He is doing this even though he has not contributed to the wiki at all. WE repeatedly try to get him to discuss this, rather than merely censor our opinions, but he has not responded. We hope you can talk to him about this and respect our wishes to have control of our site. Mr. Anon 04:45, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that you've chosen to leave, but it doesn't mean SmashWiki at Wikia will be closing down. Angela 04:54, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't about closing down Smashwiki at wikia, we are actually planning to change it into a fanon wiki. The point is, DaNASCAT is abusing his power there, and we would like some help. Mr. Anon 04:58, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikia is supposed to be about letting us create our own wikis. Well, the people who added most of the content (this includes me and the user DaNASCAT blocked) are trying to do what we want here. DaNASCAT is not trying to preserve the "community". No, the community is long gone and the only editors left are vandals and one-time editors. We are trying to direct them to the wiki where the usual editors are, so that talents can be combined. As the only opposition to our wishes comes from DaNASCAT, we wish that you prevent him from harming the already messed up Smashwikia. Mr. Anon 05:08, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand that you may be busy, but the situation at SmashWikia has gotten worse. Could you please stop DaNASCAT from obstructing us? Mr. Anon 21:15, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please stop leaving messages about this. There is no problem with DaNASCAT's actions. Angela 01:54, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please elaborate. I have provided plenty of "problems". Mr. Anon 22:35, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please see sannse's reply to this issue on her talk page. You're not going to get a different answer here. Angela
 * Sannse refuses to address any of my points, really just boiling things down to "I can block you because I can". Seems you are no different. Go on, keeping censoring, refusing to discuss. You guys really have no arguments, do you? Mr. Anon 23:25, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Installing a Wiki
Hello Angela,

Given your involvement in Wikia, MediaWiki, and the Wikimedia Foundation, you are the first person I thought of. This isn't relevant to Wikia per say, so perhaps you are not at liberty to discuss this on this forum. I'm a former sysop of the RuneScape Wiki and I'm a 'crat at the Stellar Dawn Wiki, both fansites designed for Jagex Games. Another fansite, Stellar Dawn Central, and official affiliate of Jagex has requested my help, which is why I come to you. They are looking to install a wiki on their website. Being a member of the Wikia community, I have no idea how to install a wiki on a site not hosted by Wikia. My question's are.. how do you do this? or can Wikia work with the existing Stellar Dawn Wiki to offer support the their website, or formulate a merger? Jagex is a large multi-million dollar company whose heavily interested in both fansites. Is their something we can offer? Bonzi 18:22, April 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Bonzi. We're happy to offer free hosting to the Stellar Dawn Wiki (or paid hosting if you prefer an ad-free site). Did you know there is already a wiki at stellardawn.wikia.com? We can either merge your wiki with this, or host it on an alternate subdomain of wikia.com. Alternatively, if you did want to host it yourself, Wikia is based on the MediaWiki software which is freely downloadable from mediawiki.org. The default install doesn't include Wikia's skin or many of Wikia's own features. Those can generally be downloaded from svn.wikia-inc.com but we're not able to provide support for those on non-Wikia sies. If you want any help moving a wiki to Wikia, or merging with an existing wiki here, just let me know. Angela 12:01, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply Angela. Yes, I am aware of the current Stellar Dawn Wiki on Wikia. I am their b'crat. The other website is currently working on their own details and plans, and are interested in what a Wiki can do for their website and if a wiki would be compatible with their current design. Once they have gathered a few questions, I'll return in the hopes you can provide some answers. Thank you kindly, Bonzi 12:29, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is it possible for a website, such as Stellar Dawn Central, with it's own forums and design, to set up a wiki that will utilize the current IPB3 membership database? What are your ideas on using the Stellar Dawn Wiki as the primary host for the wiki purposes for the Stellar Dawn Central, and is it possible for people logging into Stellar Dawn Central to be logged into Wikia and it's wiki's with one log-in? Bonzi 12:39, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * It is possible, outside of Wikia, with sites such as ipbwiki.com. I don't know whether their software is keeping up to date with the latest MediaWiki releases though. It is possible to design a wiki to look like any site as long as you have people with design skills to do this. Looking at stellardawncentral.com, this ought to be mostly possible using Wikia's Theme Designer. I think there is more benefit to using Wikia or another up to date MediaWiki install than there is to tying the user database in with one from the forum. Angela 13:01, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Angela. Your answers are appreciated.

The LuxRender (3D rendering engine) has a Wiki on their website. You can check out their main site here: And the Wiki here: And their forums here:

Could something like this be created for Stellar Dawn Central that would utilize one database across both the forums and wiki, such as by using ipbwiki.com? Bonzi 20:11, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * They're probably using something like this extension. Similar things are available if you search the mediawiki.org site for ipb auth. You need to be careful to make sure the usual wiki features such as being able to block people still work once you're adding things that affect the user database. Angela 22:29, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Dora The Explorer Wiki
there's alot of vandals editing that wiki and it could use to be cleaned up Daipenmon

Kingofawosmeness777/Deathwish Wiki
Hi Angela. I believe you've dealt with the ongoing issues with KOA and his having been banned from Bully Wiki and Bully Fanon Wiki, and even rangeblocked him for us.

He is a bureaucrat on Deathwish Wiki. Today he added this to his userpage there and followed up by a revenge block against myself and two other sysops whom he holds a grudge against. I don't know why, since I haven't mentioned him in a couple months and I've barely been active on Wikia lately.

Anyway, I don't particularly care about personal attacks, I'd have been content to just ignore those, and him. But, I do care about having a permanent block on my record anywhere, even if it's on a wiki I don't intend to ever edit. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 15:37, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
