Bug with thumb images
It seems there is a major issue wrt thumb images, I don't know if it is specific to our wiki or not. A lot of them are now invisible when the size is insufficient. This affect the c:onepiece:Special:NewFiles, the images categories and some galleries (check the 4th image of this one). Thanks for your help Kdom 19:05, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

It seems we are not the only one from this forum : Forum:Disappearing images. I just hope you will find what's wrong soon after the week-end. Kdom 12:09, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

OK thanks, also I'm not sure to understand exactly how new servers make image thumbnails bug, that's not very clear from the article. But shouldn't it be wise to make a global warning on that subject like I have sometime (currently it's an add for the staff blog). I suppose I'm not the only one who was disturb by this behaviour. Kdom 18:00, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Help with some templates
Hello there sir. I've been working on adding some of the templates featured in the Wikia Templates area, particularly the game character infoboxes, onto the Vanquish Wiki for use. I've been modding said infobox in my personal sandbox on said wiki, and the only problem I have now is rendering the font in white. I can't seem to do it. Seeing that you are the top user at the Templates Wiki, I thought you could help. Here's the link to said sandbox. As I await your reply, maestro ^_^ -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 10:17, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Adoption request
Hey Kirkburn, I opened an adoption request for the Template Wikia a few days ago (only because it was suggested by the staffer who responded to my Special:Contact message), and after asking Fandyllic about it (he's fine with it himself), he suggested I ask you as well; I don't suppose you'd mind? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:33, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

WoWWiki getting any help?
Hey Kirkburn, I noticed you've mostly been staying out of the whole WoWWiki/Wowpedia thing, but do you know if Wikia is planning to give any help keeping WoWWiki alive? The only real admin there now is Deadlykris and he doesn't seem too interested in maintaining it, since he doesn't play WoW anymore and his real loyalty lies with The Vault. Also, it is getting flooded with fanfic and very few Cataclysm updates.

Are you planning to get back involved with WoWWiki or is Wikia just planning to let it sort of wither away, but try to collect ad revenue until it is truly dead?

...and no, I don't want to be an admin there again, but I am concerned with its fate. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:48 PM PST 21 Nov 2010


 * Yeah I've generally been staying out of active stuff (way too stressful ... not stopping me playing WoW of course - just resurrected my oldest character, an original warlock :) ). Anyway, we don't plan to let it die - the main issue atm is ensuring there's people to look after it, and we're looking to see what we can do there (with myself advising in a passive capacity). We want to it continue to be healthy competition for wowpedia. I don't know if I will get involved again ... possibly. 13:13, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Is there any specific Wikia staff person assigned to WoWWiki besides you? It sure seems to be dying. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 2:37 PM PST 22 Nov 2010


 * Not specifically to edit (since that's not really our capacity), but certainly discussion and monitoring is ongoing (Joe, sannse, and others). We are looking at more ways to help. 22:21, November 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Let it die and wither peacefully. There's little hope for WoWWiki at this point. --Havenstrom 15:40, November 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Havenstrom, I wanted to disagree with you, but now... w:c:wow:Forum:WoWWiki's death blow%3F Blizzard tacitly endorses Wowpedia. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:56 AM PST 4 Dec 2010

difficulty making createplates
Hello, I'm trying to have createplates on my own wiki. I follewed instructions on the Help:CreatePlates page, and I think I did do the necessary. But my createpage isn't changed at all..! I ask for solution on the community forum, and someone told me about a New Layout Builder, compatible with skin Monaco(?), and I'm wondering if I could rebuild my createpage with this like example below : http://dustloop.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Createpage --Cafeinlove 04:36, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most of it should be feasible, with the layoutbuilder, yeah. CreatePage is no longer really supported (it will likely disappear at some point in the future, no ETA yet) - whilst LayoutBuilder, which you could view as CreatePage v2, is under continued development.

May I have a moment of your time?
I couldn't help but notice that the Tamplets on each section (on Harry potter wiki) were designed in a very unique way. I also noticed similar styles on other wikipedia (Such as the StarWars Wiki.) uhm, http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Dark_wizard_infobox. By any chance do you know if this is unique only to certain wiki? Or is there a way to configure the biography the same on other wikis as well? Because when I tried to use it, other than it appearing as does on the other wikis the bottom half is configured as a 'Square' shape. Do you get what I am trying to say? Like so:


 * You want to use a rounded corner at the bottom? The harrypotter example appears to do it in a pretty crude fashion - it's just rows with progressively shorter widths. I suggest checking out the code to see how they're done it - the CSS they use is in under 'rounded corners'. (Border radius via CSS is generally a better way to do it these days - though IE doesn't support it yet, and it's not as easy to do with tables.)  16:28, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Need help with WoWWiki portal stuff
I don't know how much you were involved with the WoWWiki portal stuff, but I'm trying to add a Burning Crusade portal, but I guess I don't understand how it works. Can you help? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Feb 2011 11:32 AM Pacific


 * I did much of the portals individually, but the linking them together part (the funky JS stuff) was a bit beyond me. I think you have the right idea so far ... Template:Wwp just looks like the annoying one. Excellent idea, btw!


 * Edit: mostly working now! Just trying to work out why the TBC tab doesn't highlight. 20:12, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done! Might possibly need an action=purge in one or two places. 20:25, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool. I'll take a look at what you did and hopefully learn something. Otherwise, I hope all is well with you. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Feb 2011 5:51 PM Pacific

Re: New poll system (monster hunter wikia)
Hello Kirkburn,

I just noticed your message on my talk page in which you, to my pleasure (thought it's incorrect as far as I am concerned) said you contacted me about the new poll system because I'm the most resent admincrat (my own term) to edit the wiki. xD Not true I believe, but that is of no importance.

I have just decided to give this new special:createpoll a try WITHOUT the use of the rich editor and I immediately noticed something odd about it. When I hit "publish" nothing happens. It's like mashing a colorful button which looks interesting in the hopes of it doing something while it serves no purpose at all. lol

I do not know if this is a temporary bug or has something to do with the fact I'm using Internet Explorer as my browser at the moment, but I still wanted to report this (probable) issue with the new poll creator.

Not much I can add to it there, on my end it looks like a bug causing the feature to malfunction. If that is the case I hope to see it fixed in the near future if possible. :)

Kind regards,

Artemis Paradox (talk) 23:11, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hrm ... that's annoying! Just did some quick testing, I believe I've spotted the issue. Will get it looked at! 12:09, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hello again. ^_^

Hey ehm... was wondering if the issue was already tackled. I just gave it another try (no rich editor once again, got no clue if that makes a difference and yes I want to try it with the rich editor but my stupid PC keeps on lagging till next week if I try that) xD.

Anywho, it seems the problem with the publish button still exists. If the technical team had already tried to fix it, please assemble the A-Team to have another look. :P If they haven't worked on it yet, you could basically ignore this message.

Looking forward to being able to use this new option. :)

Greetings,

Artemis Paradox (talk) 10:05, March 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just had a check - it's still high up on the list to fix. Shouldn't be too long before the techs get to it. :) 11:24, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

New poll question - see poll results without voting?
Quick question. Is there a way to see the results of a new poll without voting? This is a standard feature in ost other web poll features. Maybe this is accessible, but it isn't obvious to me. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 5 Mar 2011 9:58 PM Pacific


 * If it isn't directly accessible, seeing as the polls are AJAX, you could probably force it to send a null vote to the server, which may or may not return the results.
 * It is intentionally missing at the moment, to keep things simple. I'm certainly aware of the null vote feature - it is something I'm considering, but no ETA at the moment. 15:28, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Admin issue
Could you make me an admin in the math wiki and the Zombie Farm wiki, because the math wiki is already full of vandals and no one is controlling them. I wish to help the math wiki by blocking the ones who made vandals?

Hoping for your kind consideration of my adminship.

 * You can also request to adopt one of the wikis, though there are some reasonably stringent requirements and you'll probably only be granted one, if you get either (though I suppose requesting for both wouldn't hurt). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:50, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

New features I would like to suggest
I would like to suggest some new features that me and my Admin team have come up with. Cheers
 * 1) Wikia being able to cope with more HTML so that we can have Paypal donations boxes etc on our wiki. ( cannot be used on wiki).
 * 2) Top 10 lists avalible on all wikis.
 * 3) Badges avalible on all wikis.

TheWWC 16:35, May 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * This would be best sent to Special:Contact. As for the suggestions:
 * You can put HTML in a MediaWiki page, and then transclude it with ; eg.   would transclude and evaluate HTML for.
 * Top 10 lists are still in beta, as far as I know - they're also not very helpful to maintaining wikis, unless you have a fan fiction wiki or something similar.
 * Badges are widely viewed as useless or unnecessary and many admins opt to remove badges from wikis that have them. Putting badges on all wikis would only escalate this problem.


 * Aye, Special:Contact would be a better place to pass this on. I assume badges = achievements? 15:58, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Kirkburn! I noticed a that you edited a Help page on redirects. That article was useful to me, but I was wondering how to make a redirect to a wiki. For instance, my wiki name is:

Main page not updating?
Hey Kirkburn! I notice that the main page has not updated itself in several days. I have cleared my cache several times and it does not change. I can’t try a null edit because the main page is protected. As a point of reference, it is still showing 599 comments for the new editor blog. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  12:32, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * An alternative to a null edit is to add ?action=purge to the URL and go to it again. Seems to have updated now, though. Could have been a temporary issue. 13:28, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it’s updated when I look at it too. I thought that pressing Ctrl-F5 was the same as adding ?action=purge to the URL? That’s why I stopped doing the latter. What’s the difference? How come Ctrl-F5 did not work? Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  13:33, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe the general idea is: one is server side (purge), one is client side (refresh). I think there's some crossover in some cases, though - but I'm not technical enough to say. 14:40, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Popup messages
Hi Kirburn,


 * Since your a staff of wikia could wikia please remove the annoying popup messages like this

this has happened twice and could pose a security risk of peoples accounts on wikia - please explain why I seem to be the only one receiving this popup.It also occurred on the ImperialCerberus wiki under "my preferences" but since wikia's full of ads I suspect it maybe at wikia's end since its certainly not on my end. Citadel <font color="Red">Universal 09:38, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Kirkburn is not the person to contact about issues like this. It's best to goto the community team and they will handle it appropriately.


 * Normally I would say popups aren't on Wikia's end and to run a malware scan but this seems to be a service that Wikia uses. I frequently notice scorecardresearch loading on pages and its some kind of statistic/tracking service that Wikia uses for analytical purposes.


 * If you want more accurate information I would contact the community team directly. -- 11:00, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Aye, this isn't really my area, but the community team are well equipped to look into it. 11:54, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've emailed wikia via Special:Contact and provided a link to the image at http://community.wikia.com/wiki/File:Popup_message.png hopefully they'll respond - because its certainly not me since all day I ran the McAfee Internet Security Suite Virus scan and the Microsoft Malicious software removal tool, both have picked up nothing, so it must be one of wikia's ads.
