Offensive Game

 * Warning before playing: The game can be offensive for Wikia users

Seriously this game should really be deleted. Don't you think it's offensive? Try playing it so you will know who made it, I played it once and I was like "What the f***?". I just learned (from playing it) that a group of old wikia editors made it, I think their angry... I don't know with you but I think we can stop the game from launching on July.

 * Wikia has no control over this, as it is not hosted on a wikia wiki nor is it an officially published game so wikia can't claim copyright of their logo. It is a fan creation. Just leave it. Also, please look at the message I left on your talk page a while ago, you need another sig page so that you don't put a mountain of code on each page you sign, I can walk you through this if you would like, or since you are using a variant of Moncho's sig, talk to him--
 * Yea we have no control there - and we rather focus on helping wikians create great content here. :) Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:56, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Banning Issue
Hello Sarah! Im from the League of Legends wiki. I have noticed that there has been a lot of issues recently with multiple users being blocked. It is hard to explain but here is a link to a "helper" which doesn't really help us but mostly bans IP without noticing that it bans an entire school. I know that the helper is doing his/her job, but they seem to be doing a lazy, careless job. Please click here for more information. There are about 4 or more users going to the same school that are being blocked because vandals are being blocked from the same IP. I will be back tomorrow to check on your response :) Technology Wizard


 * I dont know if I sound dumb,but maybe asking them to make accounts might be helpful:)


 * Well the thing is that they all go to school together and apparently there are kids there that vandalize our wiki. It is a strange situation. Technology Wizard


 * The users can use the wiki through a personal internet connection or somewhere else.
 * Have you contacted Charitwo about this? Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:58, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. On that link I left, (this), it is easier to understand what I am trying to say. It seems that someone by the name of Mark has came to our wiki and is helping. I'll be back to let you know what happened. Technology Wizard
 * Ok happy to hear that. Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:43, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Top 5 List Bug
Hi Sarah,

If you go to my Top 5 List on the Test Admin Wiki, you'll see that one of the Wikis is the French Test Admin Wiki but I don't remember editing there. Just liked to let you know, Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  17:14, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh weird -- thanks for the report - I have passed it along. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:00, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Survivor Wiki wallpaper
Hi mama Sarah. I'm trying to change the wii's wallpaper, but it keeps coming back to the old wallaper.

I am trying to upload a small picture (file: WakaWaka2.jpg, which is 12kb) to replace the old one (actually I removed the old wallpaper and left the background blank), but whenever i use the theme designer, it keeps coming backto the bright red one and it's becoming an eyesore (to my users).

Please help. TYVM & Good Day! Iankevinsevilla 02:44, June 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, We are continuing to have issues with images updating properly. Our techincal team is working to fix the issue -- sorry for the inconvenience! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:03, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Fan art
Is fan art allowed in gaming wikis? There was some sort of conflict between two users in Angry Birds Wiki because one user uploaded a fan art and added it to a page, but the other user, who is an admin, removes them and tells the user that fan art isn't allowed. Randomguy3000 05:26, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Fan art is allowed by wikia but a wiki may choose not to allow it.--
 * Yep -- fan art is allowed - but different wikis have different local policies - so best to ask or start your own wiki :) Happy editing, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:08, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks! :D Randomguy3000

Deletion
This Wiki: http://beybladeanime.wikia.com/wiki/Beyblade_Anime_Wiki, has been stealing our information. We do not appreciate this. Their users are made up of 2 people who vandalized and deleted our information countless times. They were blocked and they are stealing our pictures, and our main page. I request this Wiki deleted, due to our disputes. We did not give them permission to do so, and I warned them of this. They have continuously stolen information. They even had the same featured Beyblade as Beyblade Wiki (Original) and their "About" section was copied from us. Please delete that Wiki. Thanks, DarkusMaster84. I Walk a  Lonely   Road.  19:18, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, Have you contacted the local admins and ask them to properly cite your wiki? Can you also please provide me with a link to your wiki? Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:49, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

out of curiosity
What's the community council and how do you join? It didn't say anything on help user access levels.Thanks, kangaroopowah Talk  22:24, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Do you think these comments are inappropriate?
OK, I already know MHLU (someone i know in person) has been blocked for taking similar actions, but I noticed these comments:

...@Tigernose, Dopp is a new Staff member who just got hired in 2011 I don't think she saw Wikia back then. So shut up about monaco, Back in 2009 (or 8?) we also got pissed when Wikia announced their switching to monaco, so it DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.

[mailto:...@Devilmanozzy ...@Devilmanozzy]: Don't end the world, kill yourself if you want, but don't end the world, there are many other HAPPY people living in it, don't just think of you're self, think of others too.

It appeared to be the author of a user named Nobody Cares, and given his talk page, he has already been warned twice. Again, I know MHLU has taken similar actions, but not so intensely. And during the first day of his block, MHLU always complained, saying that "there were users I [MHLU] know who should have been blocked who weren't blocked". I am not necessarily saying that NC should be wholly blocked, but really, it's getting to violent. Blame me for my English, because I only started learning it four years ago. But I can understand this user's comments.

X treme  2 questions? 10:00, June 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I felt the same about NC too,except that I never wanted him to get blocked.
 * Thanks for the message. Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:53, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, no one wants him blocked. We just need to let him comment constructively from now on.

Changing the name of another wikia
Hi. I wanted to ask you to change the name of my wikia (I say "mine" because I'm the only admin there). The wikia is the italian One Piece Wiki, you can find it here. Correct name should be One Piece Wiki Italia, with a space between the words "One" and "Piece". PS Maybe you think it's a useless correction; in this case please forgive me. Good bye. --Meganoide 14:19, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * The wikia looks really good,but shouldn't ya talk to Levi first?
 * Please talk to the other community members and then send this request to Special:Contact. Thanks! Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:54, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hello
To strengthen the community of Wikia, I'd like to take part of the Community Council. What are the requirements for me to join?
 * I heard you had been on vacation. How was your vacation?

sorry
not trying to blame anyone but Dopp said you were on vaction and Brandon said that she was the best person o ask apart froom you. :-/ kangaroopowah Talk  23:39, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Please Block These Users
Can you please block Shanebeckam and User:66.25.255.192 for 1 year‎ on my wiki Charmedlegacy.wikia.com? They are posting irrelevant comments as well as hateful and homophobic statements to provoke argument on the wiki. I would do it myself but I don't have admin privileges on the wiki. Thanks! HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 23:46, June 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Take it up with local admins first, then use Special:Contact if they won't fix it. If there are no local admins, report it to the VSTF.

James Cameron's Titanic Wiki
hay Sarah. My friend Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan owns a wiki called James cameron's Titanic Wiki. he said i could take over it and that you would help. you can send him a message and double check if u like. Neytiri765 12:54, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Signature Help
Hello. I wanted to know if there is a way to fix my signature problem. I am on about 8 wikis and my signature is different on everyone of them. For some reason, when I change my preferences on one wiki in the custom signature box, it affects all of them, is there anyway I can make it so they don't change after I change it on one of them. Technology Wizard


 * Check out my first edit on this wiki:it's the same question on the same page...not possible:(
 * Yes your signature is not wiki specific but applies across the site. Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:54, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Editing Problems
This is what i posted in your blog:

"There seems to be a HUGE problem... when i typed in Percy on the camphalfblood wiki, it redirected me to Percy Jackson but when I clicked "Ëdit", it showed me This, instead of this... this would be a real disaster especially to newbies... hope you'll fix this soon" SΓΣamy Goreng 06:23, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Goreng. This is a known issue that is currently being worked on, so it should be fixed soon :). Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 06:26, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Need help with badges!
Hey, I have my own wiki, and on Wikia Labs I heard that you could make your own badges and even upload pcitures for them, how do you do this, because I really want to put custom badges on my wiki! Thanks! I am Gho8233 on here!


 * Special:AchievementsCustomize...on your own wiki..hope that helped:)
 * Thanks a ton dude...let me try that.
 * Okay...I checked that but I saw no function for adding new badges, and I am the creator of the wiki. Screenshot:
 * Screenshot12.jpg
 * That is the customization page. From there you can upload a new picture for a badge and change the name. You cannot create a badge from scratch. Also, please sign your posts. This can be done by typing four tildes at the end of your post like this ~ --
 * I know, but my signature doesn't work here. See?

New Wikia Editor
Hi there Sarah! I have a question about the new wikia editor. How do I get it activated or, let me rephrase, how do I start using it on my Wikia? The new features for the new wikia editor don't seem to be on my wiki whatsoever. Thanks for your time ma'am! Ttyl, --Mike David57 17:34, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * You can enable it at Special:WikiaLabs at your wiki --  Random Time  17:38, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep if you are an admin then you can flip it on there. If not you can test on the wikia labs wiki. Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:59, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Removal of privileges
Sorry for my English, I do not know if I can help. If you can, I would like to request the removal of the status of bureaucrat this user, do not edit more than two years and I see no reason why it should maintain its privilege of bureaucrats. It seems clear that abandoned the Pro Wrestling Wiki. Thanks. Sirep MSG 00:40, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

New editor
Hello Sarah Manley! How are you? I wanted to ask if this new wikia editor will become mandatory, will it? I personally don't like it, however I think it's appreciated to have our wikia leaders always trying to improve the tools, and I thank you for that ^_^. However will it still be improved, or can we use the other editor? Thank you! -- Guilherme Guerreiro ( talk here ) 08:04, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello, Yes it will eventually be rolled out acrosst he site. Is there something specific you don't like about it? The more details you can provide, the more it will help us with improvements. Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:20, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I feel less freedom when editing, as you can only scroll down the sections of editing and not the actual page, this makes the new editor look like limited to boxes where only there we can sroll down, moreover when editing page it appears smaller than what it is actually, the section where we place the text and templates is too much narrow, and I don't find appealing when writing text seeing that there's anything below it and I can't scroll down, the other editor was easier to manage to these reasons. I think that to make easier and feeling not so limited the box with the categories and gallery functions could be below the section where we put text and templates, so that we could enlarge it and feeling not so limited. Thank you! -- Guilherme Guerreiro [[File:Thanks rose.png]]( talk here ) 18:51, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you respond to my question? Thank you! -- Guilherme Guerreiro [[File:Thanks rose.png]]( talk here ) 20:53, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism in "Argentinidad"
Greetings, Sarah. I contact you because I don't know where else to look for help. There is a wiki in this site called "Argentinidad" http://argentinidad.wikia.com/wiki/Portada which deals with topics about Argentina. In the last month there has been a lot of vandalism in many articles done by a Chilean user nicknamed InciCoño http://argentinidad.wikia.com/wiki/Usuario:InciCo%C3%B1o who has also uploaded different version of every photo in the wikia; this guy has made up a lot of work only to vandalize the whole Argentine wiki, here's his movements: http://argentinidad.wikia.com/wiki/Especial:Contribuciones/InciCo%C3%B1o. Please, can this user be warned, or blocked? Because it takes a lot of time to revert all his vandalism. Maybe you don't know; there certain antagonism between Argentinians and Chileans, but I think this is too much. Pablo Zeta 12:35, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Best place to report this is on the VSTF wiki. Just FYI. -- sulfur 12:50, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep the vstf is the best place to start. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:20, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Chat
Hi! I would like chat for my wiki, Ben 10 wiki, - ben.wikia.com, i am a admin there and me and the other admin decided that chat would make a great addition to our wiki. Thanks! TheBen10Mazter 17:24, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

PS: Can you respond to this on my Ben 10 talkpage or this wikis talkpage since i might forget to look back here if you respond on this talk page, as i will not get a little sign that says new messages. Thanks!

PPS: If chat is coming to wikia labs then what date does it come, or month?


 * You cannot request chat. It will be released in wikia labs soon--
 * Like when soon? TheBen10Mazter 17:31, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Soon™--
 * Once we feel the product is ready for testing. It will be announced on the staff blog so be sure to watch there. Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:21, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Sarah, My name is
Chip JChip J 20:31, June 23, 2011 (UTC) and I am currently editing the Fairly OddParents Wishology Wikipedia, not the regular Fairly OddParents Wikipedia, the one I'm working focuses on the three hour Wishology special. In fact, I'm the only one editing it. There is one other member (the Administrator) but he hasn't made an edit since 2009, although he did long on one time back in March 2011. I guess the question I want to ask is what type of screenshots and pictures can I use from Wishology and if there are, how can I post them. I don't want to do something illegal. Thanks

Hey

"Back to page" issues
Hi Sarah! I noticed that you reported to the techs the issue at Forum:Add "Back to page" to Revision History. Thank you for that. You might also want to take a look at Forum:Add link to Revision History from a Diff. Some forum participants think that the two issues may be related. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  09:42, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

So any responds on wikia helper? TheBen10Mazter 22:09, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia helpers are hired by wikia through wikia.com/hiring. You will need to submit your cover letter and resume. Though last I heard they were not hiring any helpers currently.--
 * Yep we list them there. Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:32, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Tama63, you really should shrink your signature. It’s way too big. Also, I believe that with the  tag, the system is igonoring the   and translating it as simply , which is huge. It is usually good form not to exceed, or   if you are using a smaller than normal typeface like Garamond. Also, the  tag has been deprecated, meaning that it is no longer supported and may someday simply not work. You should consider re-coding your signature using  tags instead. In which case, your signature would read something like this:

Tama63 Talk Twitter which produces: "Tama63 Talk Twitter"I haven’t fully tested it. But, it gives you something to work with. And someone more expert than I might be able to gie you the same result with less coding. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  22:57, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hello yet again!
Hi Sarah! I hada quick question for you that concerns both of the administrators at Battle: Los Angeles Wiki. You know the automated welcome message that is usually posted on every new user's talk page?

Here's the link to the Wiki: Battle: Los Angeles Wiki. Thanks so much! :)

Can you please block the IP address 98.233.210.55 on the Lego Message Boards Wiki?(legomessageboards.wikia.com) He is VANDALISING our wiki by taking away our talk about deleting a page and is trying to vandalise it and on another website he's a super jerk. Please?

And for proof, goto http://legomessageboards.wikia.com/wiki/Category_talk:Candidates_for_deletion

Timer help
hi Sarah,

I am new to Wikia but my friends showed me how to work it. On my wiki i would like to make a timer, on the Tiger's Voyage part. Sort of like on this one, where the red says "72 days" or so, the black under it "till", and the very bottom black part "is released". I saw it on the Septimus wiki before i had an account here too. Can you help me? Thank you. :) The Dark Tiger 16:58, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
