Welcome
Hello, I am a community Manager here at Wikia. Please add new messages to the bottom, thanks :)

If you're looking for help, you can leave a message for me here or visit our help page. If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one!

Question
I have a question, friend Hallows13 had gotten an account, and whenever he edits something it looks differint from mine, like he can put templates on through edits and I can't.....why is that? is it a new feature that everyone will have, or only new users? What Comes Up Must come down....
 * It may be in some locations he is an admin, so he is able to make more changes to the wiki then you can. Without examples its hard to tell. You can post them here or on the help forum. Cheers, --Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if it's enough
About the italian One Piece wikia, i had to ask to Stenogo if he agrees with my "promotion". I asked him to tell it to me and even to you; now i see that he hasn't written anything on this page, while on my talk page he wrote a generic "i would be happy". Here's the link to my discussion. I hope it's enough. Goodbye. I forgot to say he obviously wrote in italian, do you understand italian? He wrote it in the first message. --Meganoide 18:38, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

And now he answered in the other paragraph "OP italian wiki". Meganoide 17:31, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, I have given you the rights. You can now promote Stenogo to admin as well. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:31, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Okami Wiki
Hey, all I'm asking is for adminship rights and possible bureaucrat rights on the Okami Wiki. Barely anyone uses it, and if I become an admin or possible bureaucrat on the wiki, it might possible improve. If you decline, then I respect your decision. But hey, thanks for reading this. The Yoshiman 97 01:54, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, we have a special page for adoption requests. Please post your request here. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:32, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

* facepalm* I can't believe I didn't see that. But thanks for responding to this! Have a great day! The Yoshiman 97 19:14, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:06, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Missing Ninja at wikia
In the characters section for this wikia I noticed there is one Iwagakure's ninja missing. A missing-nin per say hahaha. It is Akoki, a former chunin that left his village and suffers in manga n° 150 the rasengan's introduction into his stomach (by Jiraiya's hand). Hope this helps for its completion.

http://naruto.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:BrowseData/Characters&Loyalty=Iwagakure


 * Hello, best to let the local editors know about this. I generally support users as they create the content, so I won't be able to add another character there for you. Best of luck, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:08, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

How?
Hi!Can you please tell how to make make pages unable to edit by other users apart from the admin? Thanks in advance!Selutu 13:00, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're an admin, you can protect the article clicking the Protect button at the top of the article. Then you click Administrators only and Confirm. Cheers, -- ( (  (  (  Matias   )  )  )  )  ~  Talk   IRC  19:25, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, that is how, but we strongly discourage you from doing this unless the page is receiving a lot of vandalism. Open editing is what make wikis great and successful! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:12, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

User:A Nobody abusing admin tools on WikiLists for personal grudges
http://list.wikia.com/wiki/User:A_Nobody

This user is an admin on WikiLists, and he was recently banned on Wikipedia. Since then, he's started banning all of the users who supported his Wikipedia ban (without him giving any explanation other than that they "have a grudge against him"). This is a clear misuse of his admin tools:

 * He was warned and has stopped this behavior. Please leave the issue be. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Adoption
The snap circuits wiki is very bad. I work for snap circuits. I'm a good person to be an admin of snap circuits wiki. Put me in admin and brueacrat of snap circuits wiki. It will be a good wiki.Jeff Kuseski 22:33, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can apply to adopt a wiki here. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Question
I had just created the Buzz! Wiki (here is the link), and I was wondering if it worked out right. When I was creating it, for some reason I kept getting logged out of my account - though it was happening for about five to ten minutes before -, and it said that there was in error in creating it when it tried to. The thing is, it still created the wiki, but I don't know if everything worked. You were the person who automatically sends the wiki-creation messages to the user who created them, so I thought I would ask you. A.J. two 23:49, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like it worked. You still having issues with being logged out? Let me know. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm fine now. This is only the second time I remember it doing this; the first time was when I first made this account on Fanon Wiki. I am missing probably a hundred edits over there because I did them while I was anon. I only have the edits now because I just one day decided to test it again. To my relief, it worked. But thanks for looking at it. A.J. two 21:47, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Social Code
Sarah: is there an update as to when the social code will be back online? Thanks. 17:33, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * It should now be fixed. Are you still seeing problems? Please let me know where. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:43, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
This is user Chipmunks and I have a wiki called "MyNexus" I was wondering if you can help me template and the option Edit Menu.Knowing different codes and stuff to add links and pictue template and all would be nice.


 * Hi, its best to ask the community for this type of help on the help forum. Best of luck, Sarah (help forum | blog) 00:18, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Dead Rising Wiki Again
Hello, it is Frank-West again. This is about a different matter though

One of our former users showed up for about a day and did a bunch of editing, saying stuff about how there was a poorly written version of our wiki that most people saw instead of ours. They said they would redirect it to ours, but instead vanished the next day and is now the only user editing at the fake wiki, as if they are trying to steal ours. I'm unsure if you can do anything about this, but I'm asking you to talk to them about this, since their wiki is poorly written and ours is doing well. The reason I'm concerned though is that when you search "dead rising" and similar terms on central Wikia, you get directed to his, which isn't the best one the community could be viewing. Me and some of the other users have messaged them asking why they did it, and got no reply. They are clearly able to see the messages since they have been editing most of the day, they are just choosing to ignore them. The fake wiki's address is http://dead-rising.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Rising_Wiki, and our wiki's address is the same but with no hyphen.

Please respond, and thank you.

Frank-West 01:05, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * EDIT: And the users name is Anno1404. I forgot to mention that. Frank-West
 * Hi Frank, Are they copying over your content, or writing their own? If they are writing their own, then its best to let them do so. We allow for there to be multiple wikis on the same topic. If the user may be problematic, they its often better to let them stay on their own wiki, rather then be on yours. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * They are writing mostly their own content, I've seen a few pages with some parts that are nearly the same as ours, but otherwise it's mostly original. It probably would work out if we just let them stay there since multiples are allowed. I didn't know that until now. Thanks,
 * Frank-West 18:35, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Disney Wiki
Hello and sorry to bother you but a user:JeremyCreek keeps changing my user page to something he would rather see. Also JeremyCreek only likes Disney comics and T.V. shows and changes everything around. No editor ever had problems until JerermyCreek came along. Can you please talk to him?


 * Hello, can you please sign your post and provide links? That way I know where you are talking about. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Mistake
Hi Sarah, we have a problem in The Warriors Wiki in Spanish. The bureaucrat was mistaken when he wrote the URL of the wiki and was wondering if you could move it to "es.thewarriors.wikia.com" which would be the correct URL. Thank you. GTAAAF 21:49 12 jun 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. They have adopted "es.thewarriors.wikia.com". --Bola (discusión) Helper de Wikia 13:27, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Unfair blocking
Sarah, I am a part of the demigods wiki. There is a user, StephanofTitans, who has very different opinions than most of the people on this wiki. He recently created his own wiki, the demititans wiki. I edited my user page on his wiki, but I said nothing particularly offensive. He has now blocked me for a year. The reason given was "intimidating behaviour/harassment". I have never sworn, threatened, or harassed anyone on any wikis. The block started 22:58, June 12, 2010, and will end 22:58, June 12, 2011. I think that this is totally unfair seeing as I didn't do anything. My suspicions are that he's really blocking me for having the opposite opinions of mine, and for being part of a group that he loathes, the demigods wiki. Please help me! --Avidreader1 01:12, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Andres Bonilla vuelve a las andadas
Pido disculpas de nuevo por escribir en español, pero mi nivel de inglés no es lo suficientemente alto para lo que quiero pedir.

El usuario Andres bonilla 196 ha cambiado el nombre de DialgaPedia por PKMN, a pesar de que gran parte de la comunidad no quería (puede comprobarlo en su blog, siguiendo este enlace) y ha cambiado el fondo sin consultarlo con nadie. Pero lo peor de todo es ésto: nos ha quitado los poderes a todos los administradores, excepto a Pokémon Shiny, Dialga palkia, Investigador Entrenador Pokémon, a él mismo y a una cuenta bot controlada por él. Nos ha dicho que tendremos que ganarnos los poderes que tanto nos costó conseguir de nuevo, o sea, que no nos los va a devolver (puede comprobarlo aquí). Por favor, haga algo con este usuario, ya es la segunda vez que abusa de sus poderes, y a todos los usuarios nos gustaría recuperar la tranquilidad que había anteriormente en DialgaPedia (o PKMN, el nuevo nombre que él le ha puesto), antes de que llegara él.

Firmado: Polo
 * @Sarah: If you haven't any problem, I will take care of this matter ;-)
 * @Víctor Alfaro Rudilla: Ok, le dejaré un mensaje en su discusión, en cualquier caso es parte de las políticas de Wikia que un burócrata no es el poseedor del wiki y tiene que escuchar a la comunidad, si abusa o incumple estos términos puede ser muy malo para él, le dejaré un mensaje para que no tome las decisiones de forma unilateral sin contar con vosotros. --Bola (discusión) Helper de Wikia 13:39, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Offer an HTML or PDF file convertion...
Although the Instructables erred in dropping HTML capability for regular members and by severely limiting it for "pro" memberships doing so almost killed the Instructables.

However, when they provided a PDF file conversion so you could take an article with you in printed form to the bench it may have been the only thing that saved them.

Another suggestion, Sarah. Don't fix it if it's not broke and by the way, we all know that "adoption" means providing a way for the shelter to rid itself of unwanted pets by granting medical research privilege to the university lab. imho 23:50, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, for product suggestions, best to contact us at Special:contact. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:54, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Community Contest
Hi Sarah, the user Siughius nominated a wiki using a discourse that does not have the consent of the community like. You could eliminate the nomination until we reach an agreement?

Thank you. GTAAAF 02:11 16 jun 2010 (UTC)
 * Done.--Bola (discusión) Helper de Wikia 04:58, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Admin on Doctor Who Answers
Hello. I'm a user on Doctor Who Answers as well as Doctor Who Wiki. The Doctor Who Answers doesn't seem to have an admin as there are several questions up for deletion for a while which haven't been taken care of. I was wondering if I could request admin rights for that answers site, or even if one of the other registered users who has made more edits than me gets rights, I just think we need one. Thanks for your time. The Thirteenth Doctor 19:28, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, we see our request on the adoptions page. It will get answered soon. Please be patient, we get a lot of requests! Best, Sarah


 * Yeah, I only noticed after I'd posted here. Thanks. --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:25, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

MedyaViki:Edittools
Sarah, we need a MedyaViki:Edittools like an english wicktionary site. But I could not manege Turkish Yenişehir wiki in order to put a edittools same as an english wictionary. see: 25px Kartal (Talk) 05:09, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey Eculum - Edittools already are active. You only need to create an article with the name MediaWiki:Edittools in you wiki - please note that you need admin rights to do so. I just saw that you already created the message, so I'm a bit unsure what the actual problem is. If you want drop-down menues customized JavaScript (and/or CSS) is needed. For example the one at Wiktionary can be found in the section "Edit page javascript" in their MediaWiki:Common.js. It includes MediaWiki:Edit.js - if you are able to understand and change Javascript (and CSS) you may try to copy it over and change it according to your needs. --Avatar 06:10, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Dear Sarah!

I am founder of this Wiki.

You in it couldn't adjust interwikis and change "lifestyle" on "enternaiment"?

Yours faithfully, Оби Ван Кеноби 07:44, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to be a bother but I have created a wiki and have just realized that there is one exactly like it. How do I delete my wiki? Here's the link;

hi
Hi. I just meant to ask you, how do you delete those two wikias, because they were accidentaly created.

Problems
Why my logo does not change, even though yesterday I added a picture Wiki.png?

And left the bar, recent changes -list is not updated, it is all the time 1 second ago... My wiki is http://fi.lemmenviemaa.wikia.com--Djlordi 12:03, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, it may be that the cache hasn't cleared on our wiki yet. I have let the technical team know, and it should clear over the next day or two. Thanks for your patience. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:17, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

hello!
Hello! So I saw the above posts about searching Dead Rising in the search bar on Wikia.com. I tried it and all it shows is the other, underdeveloped wiki. Is there a way that you could make http://deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Rising_Wiki show up as well? Thanks, --Mistertrouble189 04:53, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, just keep building out the content, and it will rise to the top! Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:18, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Adobe update
I just got this on my talk page, by you: "Adobe has recently released an important security update - we recommend you update your Flash player to continue viewing Wikia at its best!" I normally get a notice for updates, so I checked the staff blog and your contubutions, and didn't see anythig related to it, is this a real update, and if so, what does it do? Jabberwock xeno 19:16, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, we just wanted to let folks know that Abode released the latest version of its Flash player, which has better sercurity measures. It was a friendly suggestion to help all of our users. For more details, tt's best to read more about on their site for more exact details. Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:07, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * ...Which tells me nothing XD. All it says is that it's a update. Oh well. Jabberwock xeno 22:19, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm also here to discuss this. It's way more than a security update this time. They totally overhauled the Flash engine, to the point where it will run on lower-spec machines. It's the first time I've ever wanted to upgrade not just because I had to. It's actually better. (Hope that helps you, too, Jabberwock xeno) --trlkly 03:42, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

R-type Wiki question (split from previous section)
( I was the unregistered contributor)

Thank you,

I have a deep concern about R-Type wiki missing a good amount of articles, witch is why I most recently added the Revo article (it was also misspelled [Reevo]). The entire TL fighter piece for R-Type Final is also missing ( I am hoping to fix that very soon, or at least as soon as a get a list of all the TL fighters, of which there are 5).

Hope someone helps so as to fix it,

NuclearHolocaust

PS: Help me Help Wiki, seriously.


 * Best of keep editing, and to talk to other users there. If the wiki's admins are not around, you can request to adopt the wiki on our adoption page. Best of luck, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:27, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Hello Sarah,

For what it's worth, I am the author of the contest entry for the Solar Cooking Wiki (webmaster Tom Sponheim can verify this). I could have sworn I was logged in when I posted it (unless I was supposed to do the four tildes thing there....)SharonID 07:40, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
