Before you post your request, make sure that the wiki follows the eleven best practices listed on the article page.

Please note: Sometimes it takes a little while for your request to get reviewed -- we really appreciate your patience! We are working with many wikis, so it might take us some time to get to your wiki.

DreamWorks Animation Wiki
http://dreamworks.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Could you please do a homepage redesign at the DreamWorks Animation Wiki. The wiki has been quite successful in the past, but recently I (and one other U.C) seem to be the only editors. I've recently taken over as the only admin. Everything is organized and most pages are quite detailed. Manyman has recently sorted out a new logo, but I asked him for a homepage redesign and he pointed me here. I believe (with a bit of help and work!) it could be just as good as the Pixar Wiki! Hope you can help! Thanks! :) 11:09, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Camp Half-Blood Wiki
Hello, I'm requesting some help from the Content Team over Camp Half-Blood Wiki. I think we need some help in raising our google rankings, would you guys be able to help?  Avatar  ( Talk ) 17:08, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. I will be happy to ask somebody to take a look at your SEO again. -- Wendy (talk ) 03:52, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

dead-rising
http://dead-rising.wikia.com/

When was the last time you folks approved someone, April 3, 2010?

Have you ever considered making this form with a http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Inputbox ? I could do this. Anno1404 02:07, July 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for the links.


 * There are a couple of criteria that Dead Rising Wiki does not currently meet. You would need to have all of your content pages categorized -- right now you have nearly 500 uncategorized pages (Special:UncategorizedPages). Looking at some of them, they frequently have navigation templates on them; an easy way to add the categories would be to add the category tags to the navigation templates. Also, to customize the Community Corner edit MediaWiki:Community-corner. This displays on Special:MyHome. You should also have the link to My Home displayed -- you currently have it suppressed in your Monaco.css. Let me know when you have taken care of these issues, and what exactly you are requesting help with (skin, seo, both?)! -- Wendy (talk ) 03:40, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Mass Effect Fanon
Hello, I'm the admin over at Mass Effect Fanon and I would like to request a new skin. Currently, we are using the skin from the Mass Effect Wiki, and I feel that a change is due. I'm quite sure that we meet all the criteria as we were just accepted for a spotlight not too long ago. I hope you can get to this request soon, but I know your a busy person. Thanks in advance, -Bluethunder Contact 17:49, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, I don't know if I need to say this, but I'd also like a new logo to match with the new layout. If that's already been established than sorry I even posted it. -Bluethunder Contact 19:53, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. I've added Mass Effect Fanon to the list for a new skin/logo. -- Wendy (talk ) 03:17, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

New Systems Commonwealth wiki request
Hi, I would like to request a skin for the Andromeda wiki. We've been thinking about a skin for a while, an the other users and I have read over the requirements, and we agree that we fit all the criteria stated. It would be much appreciated if you could help us on this. Thanks, Acaeton 14:11, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Update Is anyone even looking at these applications? Acaeton 03:49, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry it took me awhile to answer your request. Andromeda Wiki is generally in good shape, but you do have a few uncategorized pages. Could you please take care of them? Then I can pass along your request for a new skin. -- Wendy (talk ) 03:25, July 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, done! Acaeton 23:33, July 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Good job! I will pass along your request. -- Wendy (talk ) 03:37, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there any way I can get a status update on the skin? Acaeton 14:00, July 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you have been contacted by somebody about it, try pinging them directly. If nobody has contacted you about it yet, please let me know and I'll try to find out when it's scheduled. -- Wendy (talk ) 17:39, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's been a while and I haven't heard anything about it. Acaeton 00:04, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

O.G.R.E.s Wiki
Hello. I think we've got a great basic navigation going on over at OgreLair.org - our wiki for the Organization of Gamers & Roleplaying Enthusiasts. However, a custom skin or any tips from professionals could really help us out - as this website is our main informative tool and recruitment tool for new chapters of our organization. <span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> Hooper <span style="background-color:Black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px"> talk    contribs  <span style="background-color:black; color:white; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">  email   02:40, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Unreal Tournament 3 wiki
I made a wiki for UT3, and I need help! Would you please help us with our wiki site? We would like a cool back round, and how do we get emebers? When i look it up in goole, it doesnt even appear.King Raven 317 12:51, May 20, 2010 (UTC)The Creator

P.S So far I have made many pages, and finished many myself, so there are some stubs, but Im working!


 * Hi. I can see you've been working hard on your new wiki, but in order to be helped via this request page you need to meet the request criteria, which includes having 250 content pages. I recommend you choose one of the new pre-made skin choices for now and focus on improving your wiki content. The best way to get new members for your wiki is to have good content. You may also find this article on raising your wiki's google ranking helpful. Good luck! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:55, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi Amy. In order to get help through this request page you need to meet our criteria, including 250 content pages. I appreciate that it can be overwhelming starting a new wiki -- but it can be fun too! So hang in there, and if you have specific questions about how things work you may want to visit the community central forum, or you can leave a question on my talk page. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:40, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Avatar Wiki
Hi! I just saw this cool content team, and I decided to get some help. I really don't know if my wiki needs help, as it's well structured, has nice articles, and a good skin, but I wanted some help as the wiki is less active than before because the huge Avatar hype is almost gone. So what I would like is new contributors and optimizing in the best way the wiki. Could you please see anything that could be changed? I really would appreciate your help! -- ( (  (  ( <font color="00AAFF"><font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Matias   )  )  )  )  ~ <font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Talk  <font face="Papyrus" size="2"> IRC  00:56, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi Matias. I will pass along your request, as you certainly meet the criteria for it, but I know we have already done a lot towards sprucing up your wiki, so I'm not sure how much is left. Most movie wikis suffer a drop in editors after the initial movie release frenzy subsides; it's sort of the nature of new movies. However, sometimes there will be a spike again for a video release or if the movie is translated into other media (tv series, comic books, etc.) or rumors for sequels start surfacing, and there are always people who remain interested. One thing you can do is request a wikia spotlight if you would like. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:47, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I requested an spotlight ;) -- ( (  (  ( <font color="00AAFF"><font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Matias   )  )  )  )  ~ <font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Talk  <font face="Papyrus" size="2"> IRC  16:31, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

the Hotel City Wiki
Hello!

We would like to enable Article comments for our wiki.

Thanks!

Jeffwang16 22:56, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

I think you need to use Special Contact-

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contact

to get this done.

HTH!

We hope 18:56, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * It should soon be added. Articles comment are enabled by default on Facebook wiki's. Mark  ( talk ) 20:19, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

FarmVille Wiki
We have already had our main page redesigned, but I would be interested in having our Google search results closer to the top. Preferably higher than Wikipedia, but that might be pushing it ;). We fit in the criteria, although we do currently have a request for adminship open, this is only because we are a large and active wiki. We are not going through some sort of upheaval or anything like that. Thanks, Ajraddatz Talk 14:30, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. We'd be happy to help with search engine optimization. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:28, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

LifeMusic Wiki
Hey! I was wonderin' if you could make our Main Page look real nice. We would like to keep all the info on it. Thanks and Gof bless! Master Fredcerique 12:16, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Master Fredcerique. The requests for help with a main page or skin have similar requirements to the spotlight requests. In particular, no more than 1/5th of the wiki's pages should be stub pages. LifeMusic wiki is mostly 2-word stub pages, so it doesn't meet this criteria. I'm sorry to have to say no to this request; please ask again when you have filled out your content. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:22, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * No biggie. I just thought it was worth a try. Anyway, I've got a fellow admin working on it. He's very knowledgable about those kind of things. Thanks for your attention and God bless! Master Fredcerique 04:10, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

supcom2
Hello, could you help us with the w:c:supcom2:front page? We are just shy of all the best practices, and not looking for anything incredible. We just need our front page to look like one, not a complete overhaul. Right now, it is just a freaking bullet list. Can you help? Happypal 14:24, March 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Unfortunately we can't help much as you don't meet all the best practices. I recommend you copy a page from another wiki that you like (eg. the Supreme Commander wiki itself) and then update the graphics and links to your new stuff. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:04, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
