You need to check in on your "Design your own Photo Galleries" on your blog
People are waiting for answers. ;) Glittersword 17:56, August 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * You are so cruel. You keep telling people to move talk page discussions over to the blogs, but hundreds of real people are waiting for requests on several of your blogs, and you have either given no answers or added empty, buttery comments like "We're working on it" and/or "it is so nice to see how many comments users have contributed to this blog!". Give us real, straight answers and honest input, and take each comment seriously, as each was posted by a real person with real emotions. -Volatile Dweevil :(
 * If you check back on that blog, you will see that Kirkburn, the product manager for that tool, did leave a comment about some of the issues brought up. We are working hard to keep up with all comments, on all blog posts. Since there are so many, we are not able to answer all, but have been posting updates that address the main issues.

Achievement awards
I wouldn't have a problem with the achievement awards if they didn't include awards for adding categories. We have a problem on the iCarly Wiki with users spamming categories to win awards, and it messes up the organization of the wiki. Could you suggest this to someone? Thanks -- SeddieBerserker  ( talk ) 21:02, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, yes I will share your feedback. I would also recommend deciding as a community some guidelines around achievements, and letting people who spam know about them. Sometimes just leaving an encouraing message about why you don't want folks spamming (said in a nice way), can go a long way. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:31, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Torchwood Wikia
Hello. You may remember the other week I contacted you about Torchwood Wikia. Since you contacted the user, an anonymous user removed all content from my talk page on that wikia, then five minutes later, the user Trikster 87 left a message on my talk page. These being so close together makes me think it is the same person. I'm not sure of policies across all wikias are that you should not wipe another user's page or talk page, but if it is, I believe that the user did so. The message read "You didnt need to tell the wikia staff would you stop posting messages about dang copyrights.". The user then proceeded to block my username for a year under the reason of "annoyance". I believe this user has abused his powers as an admin. I would strongly advise a wikia staff to warn this user that what he has done is not acceptable, and I feel somewhat concerned that a user as such, who believes that this is a good reason to block another user, is an administrator on so many wikias. Thanks for your time. The Thirteenth Doctor 20:48, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hey. In the original email I received (I believe it was from you) you asked to provide a list of pages which copied information from the TARDIS wikia pages. The user was warned and was given over a week, and has seen the messages, yet has only edited one page.

I have compiled a list of pages which have copied information. The first link at each bulletpoint is the page which is in violation, the second is the closest version of the page from TARDIS from which the information was copied. I have hidden the list in a show box to save space.

Could you please delete these pages. Thank-you. --The Thirteenth Doctor 20:27, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * The problem is not so much that these pages are lifted, but that the attribution that the copyright license CC BY-SA requires is missing. Somebody should educate Trikster87 that he should use Special:Export (on Tardis) and Special:Import (on TorchwoodBBC) when copying pages; that would satisfy the license. If he does that for all of the pages listed (he doesn't even need to delete them), he'll be fine. -- ◄mendel► 05:13, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, as mendel said, they can follow those steps. Let me know if you need me to contact them again. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would tell them that, but as I said above, the user blocked me, so I cannot contact them. If you could unblock me, or if it's easier to talk to them, that would be appreciated. Thanks. --The Thirteenth Doctor 20:03, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Help Needed
Hi, Sarah. A friend of mine has a wiki for a comic he created: Total Drama College Wiki, his username is TheZobe. The wiki was created by one of his friends named TT66. TheZobe is a beauro, but he would prefer that TT66 was not either a beauro or an admin, as TheZobe is in charge of the comic, and TT66 is not a very experienced user. I don't believe the wiki is set up where beauros can change beauro rights. If you can help us out without making it a big ordeal, that would be greatly appreciated. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 17:10, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is the TT66 currently a bureaucrat or admin? Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Poll System
Hello. I am having issues on Wiki of Creations with the poll table. When I put up a poll, it says that there is a "Database Error" and that "yourcreations.poll_info doesn't exist." I do not know what this means, and I do not know if I screwed something up. May I please have a little help? -- Rainbowroad6w (-: 23:27, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, there is currently a bug in the poll system on some new wikis. The technical team is aware and working to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Shoutbox
I've noticed that the Wikia's New Look FAQ has a section saying that the widgets are largely unused and will not be included. While I can agree that most widgets are worthy of deletion, the shoutbox is widely used and is beneficial to the community aspect of wikia. I feel that the shoutbox attracts many users to wikia and that removing it would be harmful to wikia's wellbeing. I have no objections to the removal of the other widgets, and I doubt that there are many users that disagree, but I would like the shoutbox to stay. As such, I was wondering if it would be possible to keep the shoutbox in the new layout but remove all other widgets. If it doesn't take undue effort, I feel that including the shoutbox would be in your best interests, because it would allow wikia to retain many of its current users, attract new users, and placate users that are angry with wikia about the other changes taking place. - Is drak  thül  20:53, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Just a suggestion but on the notice you posted all across Wikia that blog commenting would be down you said quote; " Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Wikia."

I think if you want to really improve Wikia you should make the new skin optianal and keep the shoutbox, have you seen this petition?? http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Killr833/Petition Anyway I am trying to keep Wikia communities best interests at heart but since you force the new skin on everyone eventhose who don't want it I guess you don't really care.

Torchwood Wikia again
Hi again. I left a message in the above section over a week ago, so you obviously haven't seen it. You said to let you know if I needed you to contact the user again. Well, I do. Since the user blocked me from using the wiki and posting on his page, I asked an admin from the TARDIS wiki to talk to him. The admin posted on the 8th of September, but nothing has been done yet and no reply given. I would ask you to once more contact the user in a final bid to get his attention and get him to use the Export Import functions. It has been nearly three weeks since I first asked him to at least cite the pages, which he has simply ignored me, blocked me in an attempt to push it off, and even ignored you. I believe this warning should be their last. --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:36, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Since the above message, the user has actually blocked the admin from TARDIS wiki, Tangerineduel, though this time gave no reason. That is two users he has blocked simply to try and eradicate a problem. It really annoys me that someone such as that can have these powers on several wikis. I don't know how many other people he has blocked for similar or other unreasonable reasons, but it's the fact that it actually reflects badly against the user, especially during things such as adoption requests, where the user must not have been blocked from using a wiki before. I strongly suggest something be done. The Thirteenth Doctor 19:25, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Please, I request your help, tell other users about us, come and help us yourself, but please help out our wiki. Whatever you decide (even if it is nothing) it will be greatly appreciated by the spam wiki ( a wiki about spam, not actual spam) thank you. Mach9 22:47, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * What types of problems are you having? Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 20:38, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * There was a huge spam and vandalism outbreak. When I found it the place was a mess. It needs nursing and fixing up back to health. Mach9 21:42, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just wondering if my request was forgotten about..... Mach9 23:03, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I haven't forgotten, just have been busy. We have a team of volunteers who can help you fight spam. You can leave them a message here. Best, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 21:42, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's very helpful, but vandals are not our problem currently. As I stated above, The wiki is just in a sorry shape, one man can not fix it by himself! Is there a team for this situation? That would be helpful. Your pal, Mach9 21:58, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * The VSTF helps with both vandals and spam. You can contact them for spam problems. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 00:24, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please, your not listening to me, We have no problem with Vandals right now. The wiki is just Dying and I would like some assistance in cleaning it up. I was wondering if you could point me somewhere where I can request this. Your pal, Mach9 01:07, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I can see now that coming here is only a dead end, I have taken the matters into my own hands. Thank you for what little help you provided me with. Your pal, Mach9 19:49, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Need Help with User Rights Issue
Hi I am Salubri a bureaucrat and admin on the Bleach Wiki []. The issue is that we have recently started cleaning up the admin members on the site. In other words relieving inactive members of the position. Currently we have two bureaucrats on the site that no longer edit or haven't been active on the site in some time. In light of that as admin as well they are not around to assist other users or help with wiki in general. While we appreciate the contributions they have made in the past and we will make a section to detail their former positions. As you are aware we are not able to remove bureaucrat status, so the admin remaining are asking if that can be handled as required in such as situation by the central wiki staff such as yourself. The inactive members in question are TheUltimate3 [] and Mili-Cien. []Thank you.-- 16:12, September 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok done. Happy editing! Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 20:43, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Editing Link Issue
Im sorry to bother you again but there is another issue. We at the Bleach Wiki have recently decided to do some page moves and the like and he amount of changes are quite extensive and time consuming. Then i read up the bots are expressly made for this type of thing. The problem being that the bots for are site are old and created way before any of use so they haven't been active in some time and we dont possess the passwords for them. We were wondering how to make them so that we arent spending hours upon hours doing this change around. Can you possibly help in this regard. Thank you. -- 03:18, September 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, have you read through out bot help page? You can also ask fro advice on our community forum. Once you have the bot, please send an email to special:contact to get it marked as a bot. Best, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 22:10, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Near's Page
Hi, I noticed that on Near's page that someone changed he title of the page to "Ar". I tried to fix it but I wasn't able to. Do you think you could help? Thanks [[User:Potterwatcher1997|Potterwatcher1997 18:21, September 17, 2010 (UTC)]]
 * Are you talking about a page on this wiki? Please clarify what you mean by "Near's page." You could give a link, but at the moment I have no idea what you're talking about. AR is short for Arabic (see List of Wikipedias.) Have you tried clicking the Move link at the top of the page? I believe those aren't protected by default (for most namespaces.)

He changed his mind. He meant the wiki should be named "Luigi's Mansion", not "Luigi's Mansion Wiki". - Billy 02:10, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

A few things
Well, I originally posted this on the talk page of The new look 3, but no one seems to have noticed, so I'll say it here. The reasons for the new look were:

"Because it’s the right thing to do for the future of Wikia. We understand the caution of many of those who have commented on the blogs, but we also kept in mind that this is just one of the many groups or types of users on Wikia. We looked at feedback from the beta testers, from focus groups and direct measurements of activity on wikis, and listened to our in-house experts in web design and user interaction. We did our best to gather *all* the information we needed to make this the best look possible for Wikia, and we feel confident in our choices."

I'd like to point out that this never really answers why the new look is being implemented; it merely says that "it's the right thing for the future of Wikia" and never provides any reasons as to why this is. Also, I really doubt that beta testers and focus groups had different opinions than the majority of users that commented on blogs if they were chosen without bias (id est, Wikia staff didn't try to choose people that would like the new look). How exactly did you look at "direct measurements of activity on wikis" in such a way that you could tell how much people liked the new look? Furthermore, wouldn't "experts in web design and user interaction" be able to tell that the new design looks horrible and is almost universally hated by users? If someone is an expert in user interaction, they should, theoretically speaking, be able to tell that making a change despite such widespread opposition is a good way to alienate the community. Another part of the page also seemed a bit odd to me:

"There are always some similarities among websites that have modern, frequently updated design. In other words, when companies use best practices for the web and adapt to what users demand, their websites tend to contain similar design elements and functionality."

I'd like to point out that Wikia is not "adapting to what users demand". In fact, they're doing the opposite, so that reason for the similarities is invalidated. Also, I'm thinking that saying "some similarities" is a bit of an understatement. Lastly, I'd like to ask that you answer this and address each of the points individually. Thank you. - Is drak  thül  13:30, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Mobile support?
Hello.

I've been a regular Memory-Alpha user for quite some time. Because of health problems, I'm forced to use a mobile device (viz., an iPod touch with Safari). Until recently, whenever I accessed MA, it automatically changed to the great Wikiaphone (mobile) skin. Now thar feature is gone. Without it, I'm essentially locked out from MA and Wikia.

I understand there are changes occurring to the skins etc. I don't care about that controversy: I only want to know if/when mobile support will return. I've spent quite a bit of time asking around to no avail. Do you know if Wikia (and thus MA) will ever support mobile devices again? Is it something Wikia is working on, or have they simply decided to stop supporting it?

I would very much appreciate a definitive answer, if you are able to give one.

Thank you.

Regards,

--Cepstrum 19:19, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Cepstrum, We ran into some technical problems with the old Wikia mobile skin and so had to deactivate it. We are working on a new create a new mobile skin at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience and feel better. Best, --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 16:22, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Project Pages
Hi, this is Midnitesky. I was wondering if you know how to create "Project Pages", which the wikis I've been to all have. I need some help on that for my own wiki. So I hope you can help me! Thanks, 20:26, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Your request of feedback
Sorry to bring this to your page, but I did not receive any reply regarding it on the blog. On the Experience the new Wikia blog, you wrote:


 * "The right sidebar, containing content modules such as recently added images or Wikia activity, will appear on all wiki pages. We would love to hear what other modules the community is interested in having there, so please feel free to let us know using the feedback tool or special contact. We’re currently thinking about future modules which might for example allow to include infoboxes or other article specific information here. As for the Go link issue, please see Tim’s comment below. Thanks!"

Being able to place the infoboxes in there is a very nice (partial) solution to one of the major problems (and sources of complaints against you). Infoboxes and other large things like that (or long tables of content/toc with long headings) are just not practical with this new look. I am all for this if it is technically feasible. Please have your tech guys give serious consideration to this.

However, I fear that your post on that blog is going to be lost under the torrent of posts about the skin. This is already on page 3 of the blog's comments and not that many people are going to go back that far when reading over the blog. So if you are serious about asking for user feedback on this, please create a new blog post dedicated to this or have it edited into the blog post itself (rather than have it as a comment), so that people will actually see it. Thanks 22:19, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
