Visual Editor not available?
Hallo! Bei einer  meiner  Seiten, Holiday  Park  Haßloch - Wochenendwiki  steht, ich  könne  keinen  grafischen  Editor  (Überarbeitung  der  Darstellung  zum  Bearbeiten)  benutzen. Wie kann  ich  die  Seite  so  verändern, dass  ich  einen  grafischen  Editor  verwenden  kann? Frage von  Benutzer:User16071996  am  13.01.2010  um  14.15 Uhr.

From User:LilyTheAngel
Please, no more to do with e-mail on My World Wikia! I've had to warn User:Avater! —This unsigned comment is by LilyTheAngel (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with !


 * The email link on my user page is to built-in MediaWiki functionality - I won't be removing it, as I am a Wikia Staff member. You are free to remove my user page from your wiki if you so wish. 12:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * This user says that you must be 8 years or older to create an account on her "Rules of Wikia". When Uberfuzzy changed it to 13, she changed it back and protected the page. Please can you have a look. (From this user's behaviour, I doubt that she is over 13). GT5162 (talk) 15:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Switched back to 13, with a link to http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia:Terms_of_use#Membership - thanks. 15:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with GT5162, I doubt she herself is 13, and I don't know why she even has a wikia with only 8 pages about some anime. And she appears to be the only editor, and running a communist environment, no offence to her.  λ T 15:15, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, she created the user pages of "HeroLimeLiam", "CoolGuyAnthon" and "CuteBoyTom", whose usernames aren't even registered. It is extremely unlikely that a 13-year old would bring imaginary friends onto Wikia so I'm not sure whether this user should be allowed to edit here. GT5162 (talk) 15:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll flag it up with others in Wikia. 15:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

WoWWiki redirects
I just noticed Forum:Changes to the Create Wiki process, so I was wondering if you could put a dump of all the known *.wikia.com redirects to WoWWiki.com somewhere on WoWWiki (maybe at c:wow:WoWWiki:Wikia subdomain redirects), in case people might have ideas for subdomains we should try to capture before the new Wikia creation thing gets too out of hand. I suspect we won't need to suggest many new ones as many I tested were already redirecting. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 3:04 PM PST 6 May 2009


 * Done on the suggested page :) A bunch were done a fair while ago, I added some more recently. 22:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I need help.
With user badges: how do you put one on from another wiki? the "way" to do so on Preferences isn't working. Any advice?--Bionicleboy3000 (but call me Akamia)21:33, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Bionicleboy! Are you using  ? It should work using that syntax, using the correct url of your wiki. -- 21:42, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I tried that, and I got the one from the wiki I have instead of the wiki I was trying to get it from. I used that syntax on my wiki, the Shadow Spy Net, with the badge supposed to be from Sonic News Network, but I got my Shadow Spy Net badge instead! Personally, I think the system is a bit... buggy, but that is just an opinion... HELP!--Bionicleboy3000 23:57, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll ask about it, see what's going on. 13:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Poetry Wikia Question
Hello, my name is Kyle Hardin (Specter), and I am an administrator on Poetry Wikia. I was wondering if you could answer a quick question.

Is there a way to alter the code of a create-article-box so that any page created with it will automatically include itself in a specified category? Let's say I have a createbox that is only meant to be used to create new articles about poetry. I would like all new poems to automatically be placed in the "Catalog" category, for easy searching. Can I set up the createbox so that all articles created with it include the   tag?

thank you for your time,

~Specter (cow_pi) 17:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Sevler425 18:19, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Thanks so very much for the help on the Legend of Dragoon wikia, I was actually wondering how would I go about getting admin for this site, I am usually the only one on and the one making all the edits.

Sevler425 18:32, 21 May 2009 (UTC) ok thanks for all the help again and hope that all goes well with the adoption process. I found out what to do so thanks again.

Sevler425 20:57, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Ok so this guy has destroyed the Legend of Dragoon site once again, he just jumped to a different computer,what should i do?

RE:Welcome tool and images
Example here :. I deleted the file because it was not accurate for our wiki but you could see the image displayed on the page instead of seeing "Fichier:Sobek1.png". As I said the : was missing, it should have been Fichier:Sobek1.png to have the link. 20:33, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It appears to have been missing from the local MediaWiki messages - I've added them to your anon and user talk page messages, which should fix the issue :) 20:39, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Lol, simple and quick answer ! Thanks for the help. I would never have thought about that :p  20:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

This is rediculious
Sevler425 21:25, 21 May 2009 (UTC) Ok I am again having problems with the same vandal on the Legend of Dragoon wikia, Joseph keeps changing computers so he can change his ip... please help I'm waiting on the adoption for the site to go through but he has completly emptied the site...


 * Makes me sad :( I've reverted/blocked again. One thing I recommend is, don't give them the pleasure of seeing you angry. 21:30, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Setting default skin
Could you please change the default skin of my wiki, to monobook? KingAbra


 * Unfortunately Monobook isn't able to be set to a side-wide default, only as a user preference. You can read this page for info on why. For the relavent help page on choosing a default skin, you can check out this page. -- 18:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

ConanWiki
Hey!

My name is Dan, and I'm the admin of ConanWiki. Since Conan O'Brien is starting to host The Tonight Show this upcoming Monday, I was wondering if there was any way you could publish this wiki under "New Wikis" - mainly to catch users' attentions, as I cannot build this wiki all by myself.

Thanks in advance, 19:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hullo! I suggest sending a note to Special:Contact to let us know. 16:34, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Bot flag
Hi, I have a bot account (User:SUL Bot), which runs pywikipediabot software, that can be used for fixing double redirects from page moves. User:Charibot used to do this, but Charitwo hasn't run the bot recently and all of the double redirects on this wiki have had to be fixed manually. I have tested the bot on admintools.wikia.com, where it has a bot flag (For an example of how the bot works, please see ), and I was wondering if it would be possible to give it a bot flag on Central Wikia? Thanks. SUL 21:01, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not strongly involved with user rights on Central Wikia, so I suggest asking Sannse instead. :) 16:00, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I saw that you gave a bot flag to Charibot on Central Wikia, and the tasks that User:SUL Bot performs are very similar to User:Charibot because they both run the same scripts. I have noticed that Sannse hasn't edited for a few days. Is there anyone else that I can ask? Thanks. SUL 16:38, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi SUL, Charibot is still good for this task. :) Thanks for worrying bout him, I'll remind him to send a card! -- 16:42, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sannse is certainly around, regardless of her edits - I suggest her as she's much more familiar with how Central Wikia administration works than myself. It's nothing against your bot, but the case for Charitwo was just because I know him quite well from around Wikia (and he's used his bot on wikis which I am strongly familiar with). 16:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Revision history colours
Hi, a user on the Mass Effect Wiki developed some CSS to change the text on the new 'display changes' format (the white text on a pale background makes it too difficult to read). See the discussion here. Could you please make the changes? I don't want to mess up the Monaco skin by mistake. --Tullis 14:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Responded at the local discussion - thanks for bringing it up. 14:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Microsoft + Windows Wikias
Hey George. Micropedia (windows.wikia.com), the Microsoft Wiki (microsoft.wikia.com) and the Windows 7 Wiki (windows7.wikia.com)seem to be serving the same purpose here. To avoid duplicating efforts, could and should these be combined? Two of those appear to be pretty much dormant, and the third is currently small and quiet, so now might be a good time to do that. Also I work with an ex-Microsoft employee on an old dormant external wiki with the same content (mswiki.com), so perhaps that could be integrated too? This is a very useful subject area, so it would be nice to kick-start the collaboration on this. Let me know what you think - Gboyers talk 21:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds like it could be possible - however, I recommend asking about this via Special:Contact. If the other wikis are pretty much dead, and don't have active admins, I think it should be feasible. 14:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I've spoken to the relevant people (founder & active admins), and they are in support of this. How should we proceed? Gboyers talk 20:12, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I can still only suggest Special:Contact, it's not something I've experience in :) 14:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

"personal" Wikis?
Hello Kirkburn

I quick question - Can I request a new wiki for a personal writing project, or is that not within the scope of the sort of wikis you provide? Thanks in advance :) Zeraktalk 18:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No, those usually won't be granted, unless it's something along the lines of The Tiny Guide to Wikis and Wikipedia, which is a how-to guide where anyone can contribute. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 11:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * We recently made changes to our wiki creation process - Forum:Changes to the Create Wiki process. The kind of wiki you describe are still somewhat on the fringes, but we'd still prefer multiple user wikis. 17:03, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisting IPs
How do you blacklist a range of IPs? -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 11:04, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it is possible, but why would you wish to do this? 16:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * A range of them has been vandalizing GT-EN. I want to blacklist them to avoid more vandalism. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 19:20, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * None of the IPs in Recent Changes are in the same range, so there would be no reason to do that. SUL 20:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

But when one pops up, I can blacklist them. Is there a page for it? -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 10:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I don't think it's available. I believe only staff can block a range of IPs. --MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 17:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It is possible for any administrator to block a range of IPs; however, rangeblocks can affect many users and should be avoided when possible. See for an example of a rangeblock. SUL 17:09, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's the thing: The whole IP changes, not just the last bit. For instance, one minute it could be 123.456.789 one minute, and 987.654.321 the next. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 02:30, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Visual editors - new bugs filed
I have filed 3 reports, reporting about 5 bugs today. Check here.

By the way visual editors can do much more than just a newbie editor. Advanced users can benefit from it too. Table is a god example. It's easier to type information on a particular cell in a visual editor than when you are in source mode. It's difficult to locate to that particular cell in a quick way in source mode. Even if you are familiar with wikitable, the visual editor makes your job easier. If you want to delete a column or change the formatting of a column or row, visual editor does it much faster than doing it yourself via source mode. They are some reasons why visual editors don't need to limit themselves to newbies only.

I don't turn off the visual editor when I'm blogging. The blogging editor allows me to quickly insert some codes, which I would spend more time otherwise if I type myself. I don't need to toggle just to type some codes which are not available on the toolbar. The interface is still nicer to work with because the effect will be rendered immediately. --MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 17:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much, both for the bug reports and the general feedback :) 13:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Declarin War
Hi I am new at playing Galactic Civ 2 Dread Lords ... and I am trying to find out about how to declare war if you could please send me a hint I would gladly Appreciate it Tonyknight 23:50, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I do not know - I have yet to play that game! 13:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Catselect- again
You are aware of the issue with a newline prior to the noinclude block that the new editor introduces to protect category declarations at the end of the article (aka Categoryselect). Is this a nofix? If so, how about a workaround feature such as hinting categoryselect that it is ok to omit the newline?.

I have no idea how the arcanery of wikia bugzilla process works, or I would do it myself. Thanks. - ~  Ph l o x  18:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Disregard inquiry. But for your info- if someone else asks about this, tell them to stick the category declaration(s) in a template so the new editor won't muck with them.  This workaround may be suitable in many cases.  It was in familypedia's case.  - 22:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Default interface language and bug
Well, whlie EVCHK updates to MediaWiki 1.14, there are a few problems.

The "language" of links had been changed to simplified Chinese, such as changing Special:Preferences to Special:参数设置. Even changed Language setting in my preferences, the "language" still stucks on S.Chinese. How to change it back to English, for easy input in pages?

EVCHK is just a traditional Chinese site introducing web culture of Hong Kong. Also, there is no any plan to make it inherently multilingual. But, it is too diffical to force the default interface language for all users or made interfaces synchronization with zh- perfix languages. Are there any ways for that?

Bug:The links of Unused categories and Unused templates are both directed to Unused templates Special pages on EVCHK. Please fix that.

--疾風綾希 15:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Have you tried Special:Contact? As for the bug you mention, they both appear to the right places here. 16:04, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

New editor- load times high for templates with large numbers of parameters
Genealogy has very fine grained information that we are using semantic forms to encode. For example, a contributor could specify the month and day of the departure date of a migration of an individual, including geographic coordinates, notes, sources, people associated with the relocation etc.

Problem- for its form capability, the new WYSIWYG editor appears to scan templates to identify parameters to offer to the user for editing. Our pages typically use templates that can have many hundreds of unique parameters. This is a simpler article that uses templates that have maybe 80 or so unique parameters. After pressing "edit", it requires 15-20 seconds for this article to be loaded into the new editor. Other articles using new generation templates with more comprehensive lists predictably take much longer. This article requires 30 to 45 seconds to load into the new editor. The ironic thing is that the effort is totally wasted because we advise our users to employ semantic forms rather than the new editor's forms because our forms have data entry controls, support for specific data types like dates, are more compact/ logically layed out/ quicker to edit with hideable sections etc.

Question/feature request: Is there some sort of magic word to abort this time consuming operation? If not, how long do you estimate before there would be some sort of fix/ workaround for this issue? For example, I am wondering if the editor recognized a magic word in the templates so that it would halt its scan for parameters. This will address the severe performance issue, but any other remedy would be welcome (even a site wide abort of template scanning). Until then, we have a blocking issue with the new editor, and we really really need the new editor because we expect that many of our prospective contributors will be those uncomfortable with wikitext.

I realize I don't make simple requests and thank you in advance for your assistance.

BTW- The workaround I described about newlines being introduced prior to noincludes protecting category declarations works just fine for our wikia. I have an awb bot run converted the several thousand pages affected, so nothing needs to be done on our account.

18:12, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You can use __NOWYSIWYG__ to prevent the new editor being used on certain pages. I asked about speed increases, and unfortunately it appears unlikely that large ones that affect this area will occur in the near future. This could change, but at the moment the magic word may be your best option. 14:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There is another option. It is imperative we offer the new editor, so blocking it is a non starter.  BTW- I'm not sure they really can make it faster.  I just want an "Off-switch" for the prescan/ template form feature.  If they can't/won't provide, then I shall be forced to split the articles so that the semantic forms templates that the new editor takes so much time on are on a different page.  This is really an ugly solution but it is better than your solution of no WYSIWYG at all.  It will be especially ugly if we are forced to do automated uploads of tens of thousands of articles into this split format.


 * I need a definitive answer on this as it shall involve a LOT of work. You are staff, right?  So is the final word?  Or should I send an inquiry via the contact staff thing?
 * Oh- one other question. If I got the source for this WYSIWYG thing and hacked it for our use, then could I get the custom version enabled for just our wiki?  17:25, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

OK good news. Disregard the inquiry. Mendel on IRC suggested something that works. The time was getting sucked up in rendering the troublesome templates. When I defeat this render of them by checking for revisionid (returns null at edit time), the RTE load time goes down to 5 seconds. Even better, it hides the templates I don't want contributors editing through the RTE template editor. Where would I document such a technical workaround like this? - 18:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help_talk:Rich_text_editor is probably the best place for now? 14:24, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

By the way, as you seem to be experienced on Wikia, could you answer this one question: Do you think I could become an administrator on a small, mostly inactive wiki, if I have contributed to it many, many times and welcomed many people?

FFWiki Rich Text Editor Disable
Hi Kirkburn, this is 8bit from the Final Fantasy Wiki. We've decided that we would like to remove the Rich Text Editor from our wiki, but I can't find a list on wikia that would let me sign up the FFWiki for RTE disabling. Could you remove the Rich Text Editor from the FFWiki? Thanks. 8 bit  00:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

SNK Wiki main page title
Hi. I hope I'm addressing someone that can help with this matter - you introduced youself at http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page, so I'm directing the issue this way... As mentioned by the bottom of that talk page, when the wiki was created, the title that shows up in the borwser bar displays such nonsense as "SNK vs. Capcom 2", a game that does not even exist, and since that nonsense cannot be edited like any other wiki feature, the very introduction to the wiki starts out wrong (not to mention referencing Capcom riht there just feels wrong, although it certainly has a place in some articles). If there something you or some other Wikia staff can do about it? It might be a good idea to bring the discussion to the talk page I mentioned. IkariLoona 09:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Responded on local page. 16:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope it's OK to reply here, since the issue's still the same... Anyway, it's been a month, and the title's the same, so since you said I could contact you with a suggestion, here goes something: "SNK Wiki - King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, Neo-Geo and other SNK works". As for the admin thing, noone applied yet, yet I'd feel uncomfortable doing it, considering for how long others have been contributing there, namely Sake-neko (who refuses to apply for admin...). IkariLoona 22:16, September 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Switched it per your suggestion. D'oh at the admin issues - well, it doesn't have to be described as (or feel like) a position of "power", if that helps, it's just good to have someone around who's able to deal with deletion, etc. 10:38, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Halopedia Hide Feature Error
Hello! Halopedia has been suffering severe problems ever since we've received the skin update (Monaco Test Beta before it was released to all wikis).

Promotion to Bureaucrat
Hi from the Gears of War Fanon Wikia (I know you're groaning right now, but don't worry - there's no drama today :P ). I'm requesting a promotion to Bureaucrat because our two current Bureaucrats are inactive. I've heard nothing from Jawsredfield, and ODST Joshie has announced to myself and a fellow Administrator that he plans to leave Wikia completely. After some discussion, it has been decided that of our remaining admins, I should be the new Bureaucrat simply because of my high levels of activity.

Moving/Deletion of a Wiki
Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to move/delete a wiki. http://castle.wikia.com/wiki/CastleWiki is the wiki in question. The reason for the request is that it's in the wrong section (It should be in Entertainment rather than Gaming), some friends and I also want to re-write the wiki and can't do so while it's taking up that particular domain. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Skins
Hello Kirkburn!

I'm Hunter of Dragoes, administrator on TibiaWiki.

I was using the skin CologneBlue till today, when I changed my preferences, and now I can't use CologneBlue anymore. But it still exists (see c:Tibia:MediaWiki:Cologneblue.css and [ example]).

Is there a way to set CologneBlue as my skin again?

Adopting a Wikia
Hello, I believe I just made a request to adopt a Wikia - Star Frontiers. How and when should I expect to hear back? Thanks. Zeb Ulon


 * Hi Zeb Ulon, the community team usually goes through those requests daily, but and decides on adoptions all at once. As you just made your request, you should hear something in the next day or two. I recommend however, getting in touch with Malcadon and see if he wants to co-adopt it with you, or just one of you, since he is the other active contributor there. Good luck. -- 15:56, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes thanks for that, I have put a message for Malcadon on his Talk page but not heard back. Is there another way for members to speak more directly to one another? Cheers --


 * That is the usual method, you could also try sending him an email. Just goto his userpage, and click E-mail this user in the sidebar. -- 17:30, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip, I've dropped Malcadon a note to see if he is interested. --User:Zeb Ulon

Beta Testing

Ok could you do what you did on the MLNWiki. (Start a forum for the discution of it? You don't have to if you don't want to...) -- 23:45, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Creating table with RTE
One of the screenshots I emailed you will illustrate the precise settings I used when creating a (corrupted) table. Beyond that nothing special. I populated each cell using the arrow key to advance to the next cell. -- najevi 15:38, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Rows:3, Width: 200 pixels, Columns: 3, Height: blank, Headers: First row, Cell spacing: 0, Border size: 1, Cell padding: 1, Alignment: Left, Caption: Anything, Summary Anything.


 * I can reproduce the caption issue when I manually move it to anywhere other than the start of a table in source mode, but not solely within the rich text mode itself. Will keep thinking (and have filed one bug). 15:48, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Try the step-by-step instructions at w:c:kirkburn:User:Najevi/sandbox3 -- najevi 19:42, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Edit Button
How do you edit the 'Edit this page' links to say something else? I know its possible (I've seen the one on the Bionicle Wikia something different), but I can't do it on my own wikia.

Queston about editor
I want to know, that is possible come back to previously editor of text? For me this is more comfortable than now - I have wikia about Saint Seiya and previously editor is ideal to write a articles about episodes and characters. TyskiPl 09:40, January 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by "previous" editor exactly? The old version of the rich text editor, or the plain wikitext MediaWiki editor? If the first, it's not possible, sorry. If the second, just visit your Special:Preferences, go to the "Editing" tab and untick the "Enable Rich Text Editing" option. 12:55, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

supcom2 front page
Hi there, a while back, you did a complete redesign of the w:c:supcom:front page. We created a new wiki recently for supcom2. Any chance you could help us out for this w:c:supcom2:front page? We don't need anything fancy, just a couple of standard boxes, with pretty headers. Right now, it is basically a bullet list. Can you help? Happypal 11:30, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Error message
Hi, I'm a user from the Mega Man wiki, and only wanted to note a minor error that another user had seen in this category: If a user try to add a category with the "Add category" button below the page, it doesn't save the change and says "The modification you tried to make was aborted by an extension hook", but categories can be added normally with the "edit this page" option.

Crysis Wiki Improve
CryGame has added the ranking system on the Crysis Wiki and I thought if you can set up the ranking system to make it promote users automatically if they make a certain amount of edits (you may go to CryGame's user page for the link to the ranking requirements) so CryGame can't keep track of the users making edits on the wiki. Also, I added the General of the Army template to your user page, but there are several problems. - Lisle202 22:25, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fun fact: we are actually looking at stuff around this idea. Stay tuned :) 14:00, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how Halopedia set this up. They have their own automatic ranking system and gift stuff.


 * Halopedia probably had a staff set it up. I wonder how they get it while other wikis don't. - Lisle202


 * Yup, it is a different extension - but not one we're unlikely to use much more. 16:02, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * When I went to the Main Page of Crysis Wiki, the logo of the wiki vanishes. Weird. Can you fix it? - Lisle202
