Yu100325/English
It is Yu100325 to Angela, but it is a matter of Yu100325/English. Because Yu100325/English is a user page of I "Yu100325", there is not such a page elsewhere.
 * Thank you for Angela, an answer.--Yu100325 00:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

C&C Wiki
The Command & Conquer Wiki (http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Command_and_Conquer_Wiki:Main_Page) need a Generals namespace. It already has lots of artiles tagged with the Generals: prefix as if they are trying to put it in the name space. Also is there a way to display statistics for a namespace such as number of articles? --24.172.192.167 18:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Has there been any community discussion about this new namespace? Usually the stats, such as the article count, only look at the main namespace, so by moving pages into a separate one it can make it seem like you have fewer articles. Angela talk

Wikia Spotlight
Hi! I've seen now in Wikia Spotlight a link to our WikiDex, but the picture is the logo of The Pokémon Encyclopedia. Can you fix this? If the link is for our WikiDex, change the logo by our logo, or if the link is really for TPE, change it? Thanks you :) -- D ragon T rainer - Flamewars  here, please. 21:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! ^_^ -- D ragon T rainer - Flamewars aquí, por favor. 01:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Is this ok now? Angela talk 22:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks and Help
Thanks for accepting the UnMarioWiki. I have a question, though. How do you un-dismiss the sitenotice? User:Plumber/sig
 * You can either Increment MediaWiki:Sitenotice id to bring back the notice for all users. Or if it's just for you, you can delete your cookies. I have some sitenotice tricks on my tricks page you can use the section on including WAP stuff using your user monobook.js and monobook.css and turn on  and   after using the section on the Tab system to gain a menu with a undismiss function. Even if the sitenotice doesn't pop back up, the cookie will be deleted and the notice will return on the next page. There's also a tool for incrementing the Sitenotice id (The Display Link). ~Dantman(talk) tricks  Apr 1, 2007 @ 16:25 (UTC)

IRC
A while ago, I contacted you about putting SWGames IRC channel on Wikia's list. Well, at that time, I had yet to entirely fix it. Well, I was able to fix everything tonight, so I was wondering if you could add it. I will be on there most of the time, about 9 hours every day. There will also be a few others on there, as well. You can contact me on my talk page. Thank you very much, and I look foward to your response. And sorry about my signature, I haven't gotten around to changing it yet. 02:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This is on irc.wikia.com now. Angela talk

The Community Wiki
I believe last week and a few days, I told you about the community wiki that I had thought of. I was wondering when that would be made. (I am not pushing or anything). I kind of forgot what you had said. Thanks, --H*bad 12:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry for not getting back to you about this. I think the idea is better served by a forum, and we're going to be releasing that soon. Angela talk
 * That's ok, also I think that a forum would be perfect for this. And so I can't wait for that to be released.--H*bad 22:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Amtgard
Hi Angela!

I've found this dead Wikia, called Amtgard. Could you possibly think of what should be done with it? It's totally empty, no main page or content at all. No contributors, nothing. Thanks. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Configuration Management Wikia (cm.wikia.com) is also kinda small...19 content pages, one uploaded file and one sysop. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Horribly sorry about this spamming, Angela. I know I should have looked everything before typing. :)


 * Anyway, Fresno seems to me like a Wikia that could be at Cities Wikia. It's very small with no real content. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * There are quite a few dead wikis that would be better merged into a different one. However, we don't yet have a tool to easily do that. One is being written, so once that's ready, we'll be asking the community for feedback on which wikis to merge or close. Angela talk

Vandalism
Someone who has a very long user name, vandalize your user page. You must block that user before that user vandal vandalize other pages. Jet123 07:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Can you create a Template:Tracking category for the Dragon Ball wikia? I really don't understand how to do it there. I'm not even sure if it can be made in the first place. I noticed that you were the co-founder of the wikia, right? Maybe you understand templates? Regards - Burdock (P.S. please respond at the Dragon Ball wikia, as that's where I'm working at, not here - bye!)


 * Can you explain what you mean by a tracking category? Splarka is an expert on templates, so he might be able to help with this. Angela talk

Finnish Habbo Wikia
The message on the main page of Finnish HabboHotel Wikia is surely intresting, to say the least: "Habbowiki has moved. New address is (new address goes here)

MAKE ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NEW WIKI! Old articles will be copied from this site and transferred to the new wiki, and after that this wiki will be gone forever. Welcome to the new habbowiki!"

Somehow I feel that they had not discussed with Wikia about this. Anyway, it is currently kinda deserted Wikia...would it be wise to close it down? --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. I've emailed the user who added the message about it. Angela talk 22:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Skin 2
Hi Angela, I saw that a new skin ("skin2") was added, that has the "Magazines look & feel". Just two questions though: I would like to make some modifications in this skin for Kwish (e.g. make it right-to-left) and I would like to make it the default skin for Kwish users. Could you please let me know how to do that?

Many thanks, --Oshani 17:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I've replied at user talk:Oshani. Angela talk 22:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Angela, and as to your question about testing new skins, I'd be happy to assist, especially with Hebrew related issues (RTL, etc). --Oshani 15:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

fr.guildwars need...
Hi Angela,

Did the email you've asked me to send you has got lost while you were all very busy with the software update and all thoses bugs it produced ? It's about thoses namespaces... again. I've told my administrators to wait untill things cool down. I also said that maybe wikia staff just want us to wait to have more contributors before implementing that sort of things. So Ttibot, the fr.guildwars admin that really need the namespaces before been able to contribute as he want, has made publicity for our wikia on a highly frequented french forum about the Guild Wars game. We receive many comments on that forum that were saying that we should stop wasting our time trying to do a wiki in french and start learning english.

I'm not sure why i'm telling you all this... Maybe it's just that i feel that we wont have anymore contributors in early stages. They just look at the number of pages we got and compare it too gw.gamewikis.org.... Yes! That's it. To attract more people in our community, we must give them something they can't find elsewhere. And thoses things are the namespaces (Build: Guilde:  and Stratégie: ).

I also must ask.. Can the name of the Forum talk: namesapce be translated to Discussion Forum: ? I think we have a page in that namespace. But i can delete it no trouble.

Lastly, i've made a page on our wikia ( w:c:fr.guildwars:Guild Wars Wikia:Ajout d'espaces de noms ) that say to everyone there to not create any page whose name begin by thoses prefixes. I also said that since this might not be implemented soon, they could still discuss about it. But it seems that no one object about anything. Still, if this cant be implemented for any reason, i want you to comme by explain why on the talk page of the preceeding link. Most of my administrators understand english very well and if needed, i will translate.

It's just that they commes to me asking when will it be implemented like once a week. I feel like been between the tree and it's bark, like they say in french.

Thanks again. Sorry for all the trouble. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 05:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Fantasy Wiki
Hi, I'm Wanting to Adopt the Fantasy Wiki (http://fantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page), can you let me know how i go about this (the page said to ask a wikia team member), cheers --Fr33Lanc3r 07:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC) (please post here, thanks)


 * Hello. Basically, you just need to start editing and developing a wiki there. Once you've been active for a little while, I can make you an admin on the wiki. Feel free to remove the message on the main page about the wiki being abandoned now. Angela talk 20:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, how to make the link to other language wiki work properly?
The person from the Fr.howto requested us to include the link to his version in the lower left corner of the Main Page of Howto wiki. I wrote like this

Accueil

But that doesn't work. How to make it work? Could we get some assistance?

 * This is listed to be fixed. Angela talk

Request missing from the forum-thingy
Hi Angela. the Anima-reqest is still open. Yet it seems to have disappeared from the open requests. Do you know if it has been approved or rejected? --Lhademmor-rommedahL 07:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The wiki now exists at anima.wikia.com. Angela talk 12:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Klingon Wiktionary
I think it's inevitable that WikiMedia will close the Klingon Wiktionary. Brion has posted another message that effect on our community portal, though the database is currently unlocked. I would like to proceed with creating a Klingon Wiktionary on wikia. Thanks. Jonathan Webley 08:01, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It might not be until Monday that someone on the technical team has time to import this, but the Wikimedia one is still editable until then. Angela talk 12:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

How much time does it take to create a Wikia site after registration
How much time does it take to create a Wikia site after registration. 59.94.241.121 17:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC).


 * Do you mean after you make a request? If your request is supported on the requests wiki, it should happen quite quickly. Angela talk 23:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * If have put this info on Wikia FAQ page. Thanks. 59.94.244.205 06:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Openserving
How much time does it take to create an Openserving site after registration, yesterday I have put this question on Openserving Help page as well but it was not answered, may be you can answer this.

Can one create an Openserving site even if he/she doesn't own any existing website (yesterday I have put this question on Openserving Help page as well but it was not answered, may be you can answer this). 59.94.241.121 17:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC).

Can one get Wikipedia/Wikia look and feel for Openserving site as well. 59.94.241.121 17:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC).


 * Openserving sites are opened in batches, one category at a time, so it depends which category your request is in. You do need an existing website since the idea is for bloggers to expand their existing community into a wiki. The site likely wouldn't have any editors if you don't have an existing community to bring there. The look and feel is based on the ArmchairGM site, so it doesn't look exactly like Wikipedia. Angela talk 23:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * If have put this info on Openserving FAQ page. Thanks. 59.94.253.7 06:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC).


 * Existing site clause can be a bit disincentive for Wiki fans as Openserving sites which can generate some revenues is open only for existing site owners and on other hand Wikia doesn't share Ad reveues for Wikia sites. May be for city wikies (which in turn can attract huge number of people to Wiki world), Wikia can share revenues with site initiator/main editors. Your views pls. 59.94.253.7 06:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Carlb
Hi,

I’m the main sysop and bureaucrat on the French désencyclopédie. RaquelSama pointed that Carlb mirrored the French désencyclopédie here (look at the URL). We are currently discussing about it on the Portuguese IRC channel (#desciclopedia on freenode). Ducon 19:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

You may know me
Do you remember me from places like Halopedia and House? If not, ohh well. Anyways, i wanted to contact you about giving me admin access to the (en) Half-Life wikia. It's currently dead, 11 articles, no sysops, almost no editors. I saw it today and i would like to fix it up. I'm sure i could get people like RR to help me. I already know how to be an admin, as I'm an admin of the Halo Fanon Wikia. I'm a great member and editor of Halopedia, just ask anyone there, I'm even their Halopedian of the Month. Within two months of my joining of Halopedia, i have almost 3000 edits. I've played the Half-Life games, i know there's a big following for the game, the people just don't know about the Half-Life wikia. So, can you help me out?

Wiki Weds
Heard about the unfortunate laptop problem =( I was curious about what you thought about the recent Wiki Wednesday in London. What went on, etc. Will you be at the next one? Thanks --LordTBT Talk! 22:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It was a very interesting event with a mixture of wiki people there giving short presentations on what they're working on. There's a possibility I won't be in England for the next one. Angela talk 23:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Fantasy wiki
i am doing my best to slowly revive this wiki, but it's hard without sysop privlages, can you provide me with those privelages. also, can you give me advice as to how to improve publicity for this wiki, thanks --Fr33Lanc3r 07:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. Please see Help:User access levels if you need help with this. Angela talk 23:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Username change
I was wondering if it would be possible for me to change my user/account name at the Inheritance Trilogy wiki. (I don't know if my having sysop status would in any way affect my ability to change? :S) Thanks! « Amina. skywalker (¿Hábleme?)  17:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Adopt a wiki
Hi Angela. I want to adopt 1up Community Wikia please because that wiki is inactive. Jet123 03:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Fantendo Namespace
Why did you make the namespace "Fantendo Nintendo-Fanon Wiki"? Max2


 * That should have just been the site title to make it clear to people what the wiki is about. Datrio is going to change it so only the title is that and the project namespace is Fantendo. Angela talk 18:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

OK. That's fine. It's just, we noticed because "Fantendo - Nintendo Fanon Wiki" takes up a lot of room on the pages that have it, Making larger titles almost unreadable. but, Thanks anyway. Max2

Serious Vandalism on the Kirby Wiki
THE GREAT KAZOO made a mass vandalism attack on the Kirby Wiki, it consisted of Uploading Kirby related Hentai to the wiki and placing the images on various pages including a number on the Main Page. I've since reverted every last one of his edits (Hiding as many of them from the rc as possible), deleted the new pages which were created by him with the images only on them, and of course deleted all of the images. But I'm just an admin helping the encyclopedia, which means that I'm not the only admin there which has access to the deleted pages. This wouldn't be a normal issue for the times when deleted images were actually deleted, but since deleted images are actually kept I'd like to ask you to delete all of his uploads off Wikia's servers so that the other admins don't run into them. Even oversighting them would be helpful. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 16, 2007 @ 08:31 (UTC)


 * Admins can't run into them unless they purposefully try to undelete those images. Oversighting doesn't work for images. Do you think any admins are likely to try undeleting these? Perhaps they shouldn't be admins if that is the case? Angela talk 13:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * There's always the possibility of looking through the deleted images list one day and running into the image to see what was deleted. But generally I'd say that it's not that good to have 30+ of those type of images on the servers. We actually lost 2 potential editors on The Gaiapedia once just from someone uploading 1 of those type of images. And losing admins isn't that nice (I think Max2 gave some of the good editors Sysop status), and I have a feeling most of the other Sysops are younger than me added to that. ~Dantman(talk) tricks  Apr 16, 2007 @ 19:22 (UTC)

Administrators
There were two votes oppose Leon2323's request,, one mine , second by DCLXVI ,. What's the point of making him admin now? Szoferka 20:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Because I feel that Leon has answered the opposition in the Comments and questions section. He removed the advert from his user page and explained why he did that, and explained what he meant by improving system messages - which is fine for him to do. He didn't say he wasn't going to propose big changes on the talk page first. Angela talk 20:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
