Lostpedia Items
Angela, we have a couple of outstanding issues at Lostpedia. First, what's the status of the user renames? Second, what's the status of getting our polldaddy extension working? This is a very simple extension, very similar to how the youtube extension works. Thanks, Jabrwocky7 17:24, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll check up on these things. Angela (talk)

Need Change for Group Rights of EVCHK

Proposition nouveau logo Wikia Central

 * Je me suis permis de dessiner ce nouveau logo qui a mon sens sera plus estétique, qu'en pensez vous?

Audiosurf Wiki
Hey, thanks for the help with moving back (or if it wasn't you, thanks for helping run wikia then :D). There is one other thing that needs doing, namely, The Audiosurf Wiki requires someone active who can give users sysop status, so we don't have to bug one of you every time. I haven't been able to figure out how to do it as a sysop, so either making me a bureaucrat, making Xairu a bureaucrat (he really does support the wiki more), or telling me how I change that as a sysop(only if possible) would be very helpful. Thanks! Laserrobotics 00:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply to "Can sysops give others sysop powers?": No, only bureaucrats can assign sysop powers. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]] 00:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Monobook
On the weird al wiki, is it possible to have it so that all users, even not logged in ones, see the wiki in the monobook skin? Because hat's why some people aren't coming to my wiki. They want monobook and are too lazy to switch it.  The thing  Talk 22:01, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Users can change skin in their own preferences, and you can make changes to the color and design of the skin for all users, but the default skin does need to stay as monaco. See Help:Customizing Monaco to find out how you can make improvements to monaco. Changing to an old skin could have a worse effect on attracting people to your wiki as it would be harder to find and navigate, but look at Help:Attracting Contributors to find out some things that can have a positive effect. Angela (talk) 01:18, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Image
On the Waddle World Wiki, how do you change the image on the top left corner? It would be great if you told me on my talk page on there.

Username change
From searching the forums, I've seen that you're the only one who can change usernames and preserve the contribs. Could you change my username to Flaming? It is a registered account, but it has 0 edits across any wikis. I changed my Wikipedia username from Flaminglawyer to Flaming last summer, so I'd like to have Flaming here for consistency reasons. I've got sysop/crat access on a couple wikis and 500 edits across a couple Wikia sites, so the "create a new account" option doesn't really work out very well. Thanks, flaminglawyer 16:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but this isn't yet possible on Wikia except in the case that a wiki has just been imported. Angela (talk) 04:29, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Problems with Superjail Wiki
For whatever reason the name of the wiki pages doesn't match the Wiki. It says its Spuerjail wiki which is a misspelling. Please help. Devilmanozzy 23:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

PvX
Hi Angela,

I just learned by a sitenotice on GuildWiki the potential move of PvX wiki to Wikia. I'm a bit impressed to see their wiki extension to show builds is already set up on the demo site. I though this extension that need frequent updating would have asked Wikia staff to do too much work (they dont need that).

So, i'm here to ask if my thoughs were trues or what. If this extension isn't demanding as much work that i was thinking, could fr.guildwars get the french version of it ? Unlike GuildWiki, fr.guildwars has a build section. But there's not a lot of content because doing build pages are not so easy for a regular wiki user. Having the french version of the wiki extension could simplify things a lot.

But dont hesitate to tell me if this wouldn't be possible. I'm not sure of the statute of the french version of the extension. But i know that http://guildwiki.fr is using it.

Thanks. — TulipVorlax 10:11, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * We need to see first how much time it's going to take up for the English wiki. What I'm hoping is that we can find a way to allow the community to do the updates instead of them having to be done on the server. If we can get that working, then it should be no problem to apply it to the other language editions of GuildWiki. Angela (talk) 10:15, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * That is exactly solution i had when i was thinking about this sometime since fr.guildwars was created.
 * Some kind of mediawiki page could be usefull (or a special page).
 * I can't wait to see what Wikia will come up with.
 * Big thanks to every staff working on this. — TulipVorlax 10:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Logo
Hi, I am the admin of the Mamma Mia! Wiki that I've just started, and I don't understand how to put a logo to my page, so if you can help me I will be very thankfull. Thanks, Matias arana 10 21:13, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Book Infobox
Hi again, thanks for the help in the Mamma Mia! Wiki, but now I have a problem in my other wiki, Jack Sparrow Novels Wiki, I don't know how to create an infobox, for a book or for a character, it just says Template: Character Infobox and I'm confused. Thank you very much, Matias arana 10 22:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * There's a help page at Help:Infobox. If it doesn't help, please contact us here. Angela (talk) 00:15, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

PvX
I noticed that PvX has finally came to Wikia :), but I still have a problem. I wanted User:Balistic PvX to be merged with this account. Meaning that its contributions come to this account. (If that is possible) Thanks! &mdash; 23:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Name change possible?
Now that PvX is moving to Wikia and a lot of name changing is going on for that I wanted to ask if it would be possible to get my name changed to Viruzzz (I wasn't around when guildwiki moved sadly, so I didn't have a chance to request it back then). If not would it be possible to delete Viruzzz so I can take it again? It doesn't seem to have any edits at all across all the wikis Viruzzz 16:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Any chance I could get a response? Viruzzz 16:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You are already on the list for a rename, but it's a very slow process, so I can't say for sure if or when it will happen. Angela (talk) 05:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright. Thanks. I was just wondering if you had overlooked my question :) Viruzzz 19:10, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

General Wikia issues
Hi Angela,

There is no clear link on the Wikia splash page (the page you get to when you search for wikia.com) leading to the actual wiki (here).

The new edit screen keeps reloading itself, first with a two-inch edit summary textbox, then a 4-inch one, then a 6-inch, and each time the size of the edit window shrinks. It seems that once I load the later versions of the edit box, it becomes harder to successfully save my edits.


 * I've replied on User talk:Tel Loiryn. Angela (talk) 22:15, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is the wikia page. I get the feeling only people who know there's a wiki behind it will get to it. Tel Loiryn 22:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

One Piece
See One Piece, two french wikis were created my the same person. One is at fr.onepiece and one is at frc.onepiece. They should probably be merged/ one removed. &mdash; 00:39, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * One is Canadian French. It was discussed a bit here. Angela (talk) 00:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh. I see. Never mind. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]] 00:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Canadian French should be added to Iso639 then. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]] 00:58, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminder. :) Angela (talk) 01:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I just checked and strangely frc is already there but as Cajun French. I don't know how we ended up using it as Canadian French. Angela (talk) 01:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll change it to fr-ca. Angela (talk) 03:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi, Angela. Can I please request a Wikia IRC cloak? Per the cloak help page instructions, I've done what's required on freenode and I've also signed my name here to confirm my request. As I stated on that page, my IRC name is the same as my Wikia user name &mdash; CarlGustav. Thanks for your time, CarlGustav  ( Boom! ) 02:39, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

request new namespace in zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com
Dear Angela, we request to have new namespace named "伪基音乐". (FYI, the translation is: UnMusic.) The correponding talk page is "伪基音乐讨论". Thank you very much. --Leeyc0 15:00, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I just found that there is a convention that the talk page should be "伪基音乐 talk", please change it. Sorry for inconvenience caused. --Leeyc0 15:18, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem at all. Changed. --Avatar 15:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Adopting the Stalker wiki
Hey Angela, I've noticed Wikia has a wiki dedicated to STALKER, yet it's more or less abandoned. Since I'm a fan of STALKER and believe a resource providing coherent information on it would be quite useful, would you consider sysopping me there to get it back on its feet?

 * Please see adoption. Angela (talk) 10:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Newspaper
Hey, our RuneScape Wiki is making a newspaper, and I was wondering if in your past come across a template that seems like a newspaper article that I might be able to grab the code from. If not, then there was no harm in asking. Thanks! Bonziiznob 15:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Helper
It's been brought up in off wiki discussion that we may need to enlist an active helper in our wiki to help monitor as we have been the target of multiple vandal bots that avoid the IP Range Block via Proxy Changes.... as they create an account, we cannot do an immediate IP Range Block and result to staff help for Checkuser. How would one become a helper? Bonziiznob 05:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * A helper is more like a cross-wiki admin so they can't help anymore than RuneScape's own admins can. As the vandal is using proxies, checkuser does not help at all because they change IP every time rather than the normal situation of using their real range of IPs. We are exploring new blocking options, but for now, the most powerful tool we have for handling this sort of situation is ProtectSite which is already enabled on RuneScape and can be used by the admins there. Angela (talk) 07:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. Thanks. Bonziiznob 08:44, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Angela.

I'd just like to inform you about a certain user called Fluffy 21. Run an IP check on him, as he is Happyface. He's violated Terms of Use, and is too young to be on wikia. Thank-you for your time. -1337Lollie
