Mythbusters Wiki
Hello!

I was recently approved for the adoption of the Mythbusters Wiki, which I'm extremely thankful for. But, I've run into a problem. I've really got no other contributors who help with mainpage stuff. I'd also like to make the Wiki itself look more appealing to users, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas! I also have other ideas that I'd like to share and discuss, even implement, if I can get someone here to help me. I believe that this is the right place to turn to.

 * Hi. In order to be approved for design help, such as a new skin or main page layout, the wiki will need to meet these best practices criteria. When the wiki reaches that, come back and make a new request, and I'll be happy to help. If you're looking for general tips and advice for attracting editors, check out Help:Attracting Contributors. Also, stop by the new Admin Central where you can discuss ideas with other admins. Good luck!

RareWiki

 * Umm...I am sure it could use more contributors and I am basically the only active sysop there, but ask SWFlash for bureaucrat question. All pages are categorized, no unacceptable stuff, and surely enough, I have expanded and added a lot of images onto the wiki so wh not make it popular seeing that a contributor managed to find this wiki because of that. Also can anyone please update the Wiki Logo on Wiki.png? Thanks. P.S. I am active there the most. Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day 19:52, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Conker's. Good work on the RareWiki. I added it to the approved list and will follow up with you there soon. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  23:23, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Counter-Strike Online Wiki
Hi! I am ConTraZ VII, admin from Counter-Strike Online Wiki requesting some good editors from Community Central to change our main page to become more compatible, professional and beatiful. Please take a look on our Wiki and thanks a lot for your concern. --ConTraZ VII 01:41, September 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi ConTraZ VII. The wiki is in good shape, so I added Counter-Strike Online Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  19:08, September 6, 2011 (UTC)

The Sims Social Wiki
Hai Ere' ! Since the owner of the wikia, is away, how do you change the name, with a picture. ( I'm a noob, I know :L ) Thanks. :P - I will be back ... for more questions :S.

— Thank Chu' (talk) 10:31, September 6, 2011 (UTC)

Well Chu', you have to be an admin, if you are, go to theme designer, then to word mark, and upload a photo that is 250 by 60 pixels. Thanks Bob bricks 14:27, September 6, 2011 (UTC) ''More Questions? Click Here!''


 * Like Bob said, you have to be an admin to have access to the theme designer, which is where you change the logo among other things. If you're not currently an admin on The Sims Social Wiki and the current admin(s) has been inactive for at least 60 days, you'll need to go to Community Central:Adoption requests and put in a request to adopt the wiki. If your request is approved, you will be promoted to admin. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  20:00, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Another question; How do you add stuff to the bar on top (E.g. Popular Pages, etc.) :L - Thanks in Advance.


 * Check out the wiki navigation help page. It has all the info you need. :) JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  15:57, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Shameless Wiki
I adopted the Shameless Wiki a few months ago and have started making real head way with article content but I'm not versed in Wiki code beyond the basics. We could really use the help in the hope of attracting more editors. The Wikia's colour scheme and Watermark are pretty much the only cosmetic things that I'm happy with, would love any help that can be given :) -- Lyco499 (talk ) 01:05, September 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Lyco. The wiki is in good shape, so I added Shameless Wiki tot he approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  21:26, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Stravaganza Wiki
I loved the job you did on the Stravaganza Wiki before and wondered if you could make three more in the same color and font, as I added three more sections to the main page; the new ones saying Random Article, New Pages, and Links. Pack Alpha of Europe 22:53, September 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Done. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  16:29, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Batman fanon wiki
Hi! Im User:Dog of War and i have noticed on Batman Fanon wiki there are no admins. Do you have any suggestions?Dog of War 20:07, September 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Dog of War. If you are interested in becoming an admin for the wiki, submit a request on the adoption request page, and someone from the Community Support team will follow up with you. Once your request is approved, you will "adopt" the wiki and be promoted to admin.

Dante's Inferno Wiki Homepage Help
I have recently adopted the Dante's Inferno Wiki (For which I am ever so grateful.) and while I can handle the badges and cleaning up the wiki, I was really hoping to get a background image for the wiki as well. I also could use help changing the featured article and image. Thank you for your consideration.

The Milkman 23:32, September 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Milkman. Congratulations on the adoption. The wiki is in good shape, so I added Dante's Inferno Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  16:25, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Coldmore Productions Wiki
Hey! I am the founder of the Coldmore Productions page. Is there a way for me to input the html layout that I made for my wikia?

The Angry Beavers Wiki
I recently adopted The Angry Beavers Wiki, which I'm grateful for. While I can handle on fixing up the wiki, the main page does need a new layout. ~KinHikari "But you can call her Agent K." 03:21, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi KinHikari. Please refer to the list of best practices criteria (linked to at the top of this page), most notably the items regarding number of articles, uncategorized pages and stub pages.

John Carter Wiki
it has become incredibly important that the final portal on the John Carter of mars wiki be finished. . . . on the main page of Johncarter.wikia.com there is a. .. portal. . . sphere. . thing. . . All the portals are done but one, the earth and pellucidar portals. Only the earth portal needs a design though, because the pellucidar portal will be just a mirrored version of the earth portal. . . the earth portals content is more or less Edgar Rice Burroughs tarzan series (the original tarzan books). . . also. . . I am not so good at adjusting theme colors. . . and I was hoping to get something to better match the awesome new background. . . . so thats all ralok 16:57, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Ralok. Since I've already approved and helped your wiki before, I added John Carter Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  20:37, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Glee Wiki
Hey! I have just a quick request on the glee wiki- we would like to change our background. We are having a lot of trouble doing so, so if you wouldn't mind, could you help us? As you can see, there are two "photos" on the background, and you could just change them to and  photo. Thanks!

 * Hi Artieandtinaforeva. The wiki looks good, but there are about 60 uncategorized pages on the wiki. Please take care of those in order to meet the best practices criteria. Once that has been done, please come back and reply here, and I'll add Glee Wiki to the approved list.

Batman Fanon Wiki
I am the recently appointed admin on batman fanon wiki and there are no users contributing to the wiki. We have 66 articles and 7 stubs and need more users doing things to the wiki, as the last user (apart from myself) contribruted on July 30, 2011.

Cheers,

Dog of War 10:49, September 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Dog of War. If you're just interested in getting more editors, please see Help:Attracting contributors for tips and advice. You may also want to stop by Admin Forum:Whose wiki needs editors? and create a new section for Batman Fanon Wiki.


 * If you're asking for design help (skin, logo, main page), you'll need to put these uncategorized pages into at least one appropriate category in order to meet the best practices criteria. Then come back and reply here stating that it's been taken care of. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  19:43, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

I would like you guys to make me a matching backround!

 * Hi Jojjexx. Please link to the wiki you're making the request for, or at least type its name so that I can take a look at it. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  19:46, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
