 * I've mentioned this to Avatar. He's going to look into it. Angela (talk)

Fantendo.......again.
Sysop and admin, Vined has announced retirement and I don't want my powers anymore. Could you please demote both of us to normal users? Thanks- Henrydamoose


 * That's done. Angela (talk) 18:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Logo
OK, so I recently gained adminship of an inactive wiki, where I made a logo, customized the skin, and the sidebar. However, I can't figure out how to make the mini-logo that appears on the tab and the searchbar in Internet Explorer. How do I do that? – Arvan Swordwielder | Talk | Contributions 17:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a favicon. You can change it by uploading an image called favicon.ico. If you don't have software that can save an ico file, then chami.com is a useful site which can convert any image into a favicon. Angela (talk) 18:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Weird Al Wiki Again
I'm thinking about leaving wikia and putting the Weird Al Wiki elsewhere. Why? Because people are telling me it's to complicated. They want it to be Monobook. Why can't you just switch my wiki like you did with some others?  The thing  Talk 04:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I've replied at User talk:The thing. Angela (talk)
 * I've told my friends, and others on the the internet about the wiki. Two things people have told me they didn't like about were that they were used to the monobook skin, and they can't find the "Recent Changes" link.  The thing  Talk 14:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, that helps a little, but I don't completely understand why you switched to monaco in the first place. It looks more unprofessional and cluttered.  The thing  Talk 00:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Jwest72 of Sins wiki
My dear Queen Angela. I am Amy Cotton of the Sims, Final Fantasy, Ratchet and Clank and LightVDarkness wikis. We Sims fans have a big problem with fellow wikian named Jwest72. He created his own wiki with his "brothers" called Sins wiki and uses it to punish his enemies by banning them and bulling them. I am one of the victoms of his crime, and here to ask of you to put a stop to it. I am a rollback of the Sims wiki, admin of the Sims Fanon and LightVDarkness wikis, and a regular contributer to the Final Fantasy wiki. I have contated wikia about this, and a friend and I have set up a trap, but it failed because he found out. You are our last hope because he is an evil genious here. (Sorry, I am only 15 you know). Amy Cotton 12:36, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * But he is only doing things to me and not anybody else. Please do something Angela. He has vandalised my picture and said mean things to me. I ignored it and tried to tell the other wikis about the bully, but some have joined him without knowing what is going on. He only created the wiki to bully me. And one day, when I leave wikia, somebody else with the same problem. You don't want that to happen to wikia, right?
 * Right here Angela. But he just keeps on deleting whatever he wrote, so you need to look on History. Amy Cotton 13:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Now there is a wiki about me. A hate club who teases me about my whole life. This is the worst thing that has happened to me on wikia. And since I have autisom, some anger came out. Amy Cotton 13:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That wiki is queued for deletion and its creator can not make any more. Angela (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Angela for deleting it. But he could vandalise pages of many people, inclouding yours, for revenge of deleting his wikis. Plus one more right here. I'll tell you whenever he does something as large as a wiki again that needs your help. I Have my eyes on that troll. Amy Cotton 00:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Remove powers
As you can see on the Webkinz Wikia:the community has voted to remove some bureaucrat powers from users, could you please remove the powers from the users with more nos then yeses? I've already contacted Sannse and Uberfuzzy but they aren't responding and my due date to get this done is about...Yesterday-- Webkinz112 My talk page (haha, no link for you) 14:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Have you seen sannse's reply here? Angela (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I'm pretty sure I had moved on to Uberfuzzy by that time because I was on a deadline (yesterday)-- Webkinz112 My talk page (haha, no link for you) 16:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikia its messed up
^ &mdash;
 * Strike that i had wowwiki's skin selected and it messed it up. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]]

configure the interwiki link for zh-tw uncyclopedia
Dear Angela, our administrator discovered that although the domain uncyclopedia.tw (the Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia) is blocked in mainland China, the domain zh.uncyclopedia.info is not blocked (which is just another domain name for uncyclopedia.tw). May you adjust the interwiki zh-tw to point to zh.uncyclopedia.info instead of uncyclopedia.tw as a workaround for the blockage?

By the way, what is the status about unblocking zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com? --Leeyc0 06:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi Angela. I'm an admin at Wookieepedia, and I am interested in an IRC cloak. I was told to talk to you. My IRC name is ChackJadson. If you could create a cloak for me when you're free, I'd greatly apppreciate it. If there's any more information you need, please feel free to ask. Thank you. My talk page is here. Apologies if I was supposed to ask this elsewhere. 00:43, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

LightVDarkness wiki
I am Amy Cotton from the Sims and LightVDarkness wikis, like I said earlier right here. We are in need of a new logo over at the LVD wiki, and we can't find anybody to help out. Do you know somebody (who is a staff member if posibal) that can help with me? Amy Cotton 10:52, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Please see the Logo Creation Wiki if you'd like someone to help you create an image for your logo. Angela (talk) 11:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Angela for your help. I have been meaning to get rid of this wiki for a while now. I will just stick to other Pokemon fansites for now on. Amy Cotton 11:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Please
I've also put this on Uberfuzzy's talk page.

Ben 100022's sockpuppet (User:The Real Ben) deserves to be blocked wikia wide again. He has swore at many users of the Club Penguin wiki, created a nasty page here about me and also threatened to come back and vandalise on a deleted revision of this page:. I can get some people to sign if you don't believe me Miss Angela, but please take my request into consideration. This ex-vandal is clearly not a reform. A petition of people that want Ben blocked can be found [http://clubpenguin.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Get_Ben_blocked_Wikia_Wide_Campaign! here]. - Wompus78


 * Please send any Club Penguin related issues to staff using special:contact. Angela (talk) 08:12, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I would also sign the form, but I can't for some reason. I have Ben banned from my wiki due to this, to suport my fellow wikians. Lets hope for Ben to be banned from every wiki forever! Amy Cotton 11:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Administration
Angela, I do not think that the two of us have corresponded in the past, yet I would ask this question of you. On smaller wikis such as the Teen Titans wiki, would it be possible for one to become an administrator at all? If so, what would the requirements be? My thanks. Ralnon 21:29, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Possibly - please see adoption. Angela (talk) 08:12, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I Need Help
First of all, I want to create a new wiki but first I need to put my PIXAR Cars wiki up for adoption which I don't know how to do. Second of all, Koopa Bros. 98 gave up on the failing Disney Fanon Wiki. He wants that one up for adoption too. Could you do that for me?


 * There's nothing you need to do to put a wiki up for adoption. Anyone can start editing a wiki and later ask to adopt it if there are no active bureuacrats. If you know any forums relevant to the topic, then you could try asking there whether anyone would like to take on managing the wiki. Angela (talk) 06:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Can I still make a new wiki?


 * Yes, of course. Just visit special:createwiki and you can make one straight away. Angela (talk) 17:42, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks you Angela! Anyway, I can't update the logo (again...) for Starfy Fanon Wiki.


 * Fixed it. Now how do you make the background (I think its called skin) a different color.

Mark Everest
I have been bullied again by somebody called Mark Everest. I have proth here, here and here. Two are wikis he created, while the Peter Pan one he did not create, but I told an admin on him, the only problem is that the Peter Pan wiki has not been edited for a long time, and the admin does not contribute to wikia anymore. Please do something about this bully Angela. He could be Jwest72 under as a sockpuppet. Amy Cotton 02:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it would be best if you used special:contact so that all of these related issues could be tracked. Angela (talk) 06:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Even then that won't help, and I did nothing wrong to him. He is, for some reason, not bulling everyone else on the Sims wiki, but just calls me fat and says the F word. Amy Cotton 11:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Amy, it's funny becuase you got blocked on 3 other wikis for swearing, vandalism and SOCKPUPPETTING!!!. Funny stories... --Andrewrox 10:41, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikia:Licensing links
Hey Angela, I just wanted to let you know (in case you weren't aware) of the lack of Messaging Wiki MediaWiki:Copyrightpage/(language code) pages. There appears to be several languages uncreated for different languages (examples are fa, it, pl, etc) which create a problem in the copyright notice on those wikis "All contributions to Nonciclopedia are considered to be released under the CC-BY-SA (see [Template fetch failed for http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Wikia:Licensing?action=raw] for details).". I assume that the majority of languages don't have this yet (from the lack of even more common non-English) and just wanted to remind you :) Thanks. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  04:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing that out. It's because the default is wrong. It shouldn't have the brackets in there. I'll get that changed. Angela (talk) 05:49, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

...Wikia is aware...
Is this true ? I mean, the guy is saying that he has Wikia's permission to not abide to the central policy over protection. I think Wikia shouldn't give that kind of permission. On my part, i always hate when they comme to the central wikia forums asking for help with their main page but we can't do anything because it's protected. Next time i could just not care to help someone who protected the main page almost as soon as the wiki was created without any other good reason that main pages should always be protected. Tell me if i should revise my jugements. — TulipVorlax 18:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The founder is in contact with Jimmy about it so it is a special case. As Wikia starts hosting more and more wikis, there will be exceptions to the normal rules. For example, not everyone is under the same license, not everyone has the same sorts of ads, and so on. Angela (talk) 06:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Default interface language and bug
I have asked other users, they have similar results.

For example: The URL link of Special:Preferences displayed in pages is end with "Special:%E5%8F%82%E6%95%B0%E8%AE%BE%E7%BD%AE", decode as "Special:参数 设置", these are simplified Chinese characters.

It is not obvious issue, due to IE7 (or 8?) doesn't decode the URL, but Firefox could. However, it is not convenient for us input inner wiki links with simplified Chinese. Also, we prefer using English for these system links. I hope that the technical staff could fix this issue.

Thanks for attentions,

--疾風綾希 04:08, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why this is happening, but Avatar is looking into the problem. Angela (talk) 05:39, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Justice wanted
Can you please take a look at this, this, and this? Please reverse the damage that User:KickAssJedi has created. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Catherine is the person handling this issue. I suggest you use special:contact if you want to add any information about this problem. Angela (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I hope that the conflict is resolved soon. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 16:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Listen, eight users, including myself, have been unjustly blocked, and they've been blocked for a few days already. Those users are expecting me to resolve this matter in a timely matter. Unfortunately, I can't do this on my own. That is why I need help from users like you. Really, this injustice shouldn't last this long. If Catherine won't do anything, then I expect the aid of someone who will. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

User:Wikia mistake
Some time ago I translated User:Wikia, the welcome tool. I just found a small mistake I made; I also translated the links to Special: pages, and these only work on Dutch Wiki's, so they'll have to be changed to English. Tedjuh10 - Talk 18:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I've changed it here so it'll work on all wikis now. Angela (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
