User Levels
Hello, I am Darth Storm, a beauracrat of the Tesfanon Wiki, would you mind helping us set up the User Levels on our wiki? Darth Storm 16:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Darth Storm. The wording on that help page wasn't correct. The feature is only in testing at the moment and isn't planned to be more widely available for some time. Angela (talk) 09:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Biographies
The biographies wikia is dead. It should have been biographies, not just auto-biographies, which is what killed it in my opinion.Wjhonson 01:13, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Request for admin flag
Hi Angela,

I was recently elected admin on conworld wikia (6-0). It has been a few days afterward, nothing's happened, and I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Thanks! Tel Loiryn 23:54, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Administrators
Hello Angela

I would like to be administrators for this site and for all the other wikia sites i think that i can help you guy out a lot and i think that i can keep out the user that like to start stuff with other and i would like to help other users out.--Wiezorek James 01:32, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If you would like to apply to become an admin for this wiki (Wikia Central), please see RfA. It is a good start to becoming one of the other roles that help out all of Wikia (the Helpers, and the Janitors) --Uberfuzzy 17:03, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

B'crat at Fantendo
Hey, could you make Cobweb a bureucrat at Fantendo? The founder comes there a few times, and the other is retired! Cobweb is very active, knows what's happening there, and would be a great 'crat!

Ga'Hoole Bureaucrat or Adoptor (Again)
You must had not gotten my last message, so I'll ask again.

Hello, Eulalia459678 told me to ask this to Angela, and I assume that is you. Maybe about a week ago I pretty much adopted the Guardians of Ga'Hoole Wikia. I'm not sure if it is a real adoption, but it would be nice if it is. There hadn't been an edit in about a month, and I made a reconstruction program. I have been working hard on that wiki, and I was wondering if you could make me into a Bureaucrat. Eu suggested it, and also my friend FireWolf787 has worked hard on the wiki. I'm not sure if Eulalia said this to him, but he said since I adopted the wiki, I might as well ask. Thank you!-- J K  O  00:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. All requests to adopt a wiki or become an admin should go through this page (unless there is already a bureaucrat on that wiki who can make you an admin. Angela (talk) 01:01, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

A message I recieved
Hi, Angela. Before I explain this, I'd like to know something: What does Wikia say about the treatment of those who attempt invasion of privacy? As in "what is the punishment for the crime if it happens"?

Total Rune is somewhat back on the RuneScape Wiki, and this time, he seems much more malicious. Here's the message he posted on my talk page:
 * "I saw your message. Yes, you are not a computer, but no, soon, you won't have one. Sometime in the near future, your computer will be screwed. I have your IP from when you vandalized my talk page on Wikia, and I've given it to a good friend of mine who will be performing a hacking of your computer. He will soon control everything on it, and your RuneScape password will be mine. Paybacks a bitch, ain't it, Stinko? Now who's got the low IQ? 24.226.23.56 06:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)"

I never truly vandalized his page (the intent was to make him see what I see when he spews crap on the Wiki), but now I have a feeling that no matter what I do, he won't leave me alone. I have an eerie feeling that he is able to hack, which makes me VERY concerned. Since Total lives in Canada, I'm not sure what the punishment would be if he actually does carry out this plan (since he's not an American). Granted, Total is (for the most part) all talk and no action, but my family is worried that he could take their personal information and steal one of their identities. As you can see, this threat is something my entire family is not taking lightly, so if you could contact me somehow about this matter and what the conseqences he would recieve (if any), I'd appreciate it. --&#123;&#123;Signatures/Stinkowing}} 12:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've responded about the issue on the RuneScape wiki. The user in question has been blocked by the local administrators. If you feel you are in danger please contact your local law enforcement office, though I don't think there is any reason to worry unless you've given out personally identifiable information. My advice would be to ignore this user and not respond to their trolling. -- JSharp (talk) 19:02, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

register a formal complaint
I would like to register a formal complaint about a user named ItsWalky on the http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page page,....

as a matter of fact ALL the admins there are ruthless and undermine all the fun that wikia is SUPPOSED to be about,....

They are deciding to move OFF of wikias servers, and i happened to disagree with the decision to move and i posted in their forum about it, and i was summarily banned from the site,....sounds ridiculous to me.


 * Considering the language you used to refer to other community members, I expect it's best if you just wait for your block to expire. Angela (talk) 02:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Request for Bureaucrat rights
Dear Angela

I am Editoroflife and recently I discovered the Non Cannon Star Wars wiki ([http://starwarsnoncanon.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page). Being a fan of Star Wars I have plenty of fan fiction and other non cannon things, which appears to be what this wikia is about. I have, on the other hand, noticed it seems to be abandoned. So, since i am confident I can bring this wiki to flourish, I would like to request sysop/bureaucrat rights on the wiki so that I can help it more. I plan on continuing to edit the wikia regardless of whether I am granted these rights or not

Yours sincerely Editoroflife 07:46, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Good luck reviving that wiki. If you need admin access there, please check out wiki adoption requests. Angela (talk) 08:29, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Help
Hello I am a new admin at Mercs Wiki - http://mercs.wikia.com - and I need some help. I was wondering weather you could change the features so Mercs Wiki woul look a bit more like Grand Theft Wiki - http://gta.wikia.com -. You know with the Social Profiles and avatars and Site Activity (not just the recent changes) and polls and all that kind of stuff. Thanks -- PATX  15:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh and you can respond on my talk page on Mercsc Wiki or here wich ever is easier. -- PATX  15:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the social features are not yet in a state for further roll out to new wikis. The tech team is busy working out the remaining problems on the wikis where they are currently activated. Be sure to keep an eye on the pages on help.wikia.com for when they are ready for additional activation. --Uberfuzzy 04:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Missing Pictures.
Hi Angela. I seem to missing all of the pictures to writers.wikia.com -

http://writers.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

The 'upload file' option seems to be missing and if I use the 'multiple upload' I get this message - 'file uploads have been disabled...'

Any ideas?

Yours, Sunken 23rd Sept '08 - 14.52

Update All pics, apart from the last one I put up are now back. Trouble is, there's now no upload option apart from 'multiple upload'. That option, when clicked, goes on to say that 'file uploads have been disabled for this wiki'.

Sunken
 * There is currently a temporary problem with the image servers. It is being worked on as we speak. As a result, image uploading has been temporarily disabled across all of Wikia. Please be patient as the techs work to resolve this issue. --Uberfuzzy 15:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Literatura wikia
Hi. I want to be administrator in Literature wikia. There are no admins there as the wiki was abandoned some time ago. So, I would like to be sysop there to delete some off-topic content and grant adminship to another user, too. David 22:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

From the Diablo wiki
'ello 'ello there :) This is Mobo reporting from the Diablo Wiki. We have some issues we'd like to discuss. There kinda not related to each other, so please point in the right direction :P Ok, first how does the spam filter block addresses?? I mean, what does it check for to block an address?? There has been a little problem at the Hellfire article in the wiki. The links to a mod's homepage are blocked. Well, next congratulations on moving the wiki but there seem to be a few glitches. But only one that I found, the Shoutbox widget doesn't update. All new messages get displayed for the moment, but revert back to sep 23rd's messages when I logoff and back on. The admin, Dan also has the same problem. Is it because of the move?? Ok, the last one now :) do disambigs need to be present in the orphaned pages?? They're not meant to be linked to right?? It gets confusing when I'm house-keeping :P Can someone edit the orphaned pages code (how, I have no idea) to not include disambiguations??? Not much but help or replies will enlighten us :) "Fear me!!!" (f")f <-- M O B O K I L L  ( Ramblings ) 06:45, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Request
Hi Angela,

Though Wikination is still active, there is no bureaucrat or sysop left. They all left for other wikis. I've had a conversation with the few most active users and they've said it would be best when I would become bureaucrat and sysop. The major problems are vandals, old useless pages and some uselessly protected pages. Could you please give me those rights? --O u WTB 12:56, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Administrator powers on Brickipedia
Could you make Nighthawkleader a bureaucrat, and myself a regular admin at Brickipedia? There is one admin still active, but he isn't a bcrat and doesn't want to be one.

User name
Hi! I´ve asked how I change my user name in Wikia, and he answered me that is not possible in Wikia. Really? And, when users will be able to change their user name? Thanks, --Prof. PokémonDC 17:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Usernames can't be changed because all wikia wikis use the same database for usernames. So if username is changed from one wiki it would change in every wiki. Because this may confuse users, usernames can't be changed. In future updates it might be possible to use different databases for usernames in every wiki but you would have to register to every wiki seperately and the number of wikis in wikia is so big that it needs a lot of work for staff to make those databases. --Sovereign92 14:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem, I have only contributions in one Wiki and here. I´ll communicate there I´ve changed my username. So the confusion will be only in one wiki and will be resolved. --Prof. PokémonDC 18:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Please! It´s a little change. It will not generate problems. Please --Prof. PokémonDC 17:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Userpedia + Usertendo + Wikia = Success?
Excuse me, Angela. I just thought of something: Scribblewiki's dead and gone. As such, so are Userpedia (the Mariowiki wiki of users) and Usertendo (the Fantendo wiki of users). I found this, and thought... what if we merge Userpedia and Usertendo with the Wikia version of userpedia? The Wikia-Userpedia never got far, but if you would please 'crat me there, I could fix it up ship-shape and once it's done, I'll promote all the people who were crats/sysops on Userpedia and Usertendo. All of us would benefit. So, how does it sound?

PotC Wiki Adminship
Hi, Angela. Could you please make me an Admin on the Pirates of the Caribbean wiki. I have been voted in by the community but we don't have any active bueracrats who can change my user rights. If you could do this it would really help our community out, as there is a lot of vandalism that needs dealing with and all of our Administrators have left. –K.A.J•T•C•E• 11:32, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Please!
Hello, Angela I'm Brazilian and I would ask one thing, I thought that the Wiki site of the GTA and interesting. Is that in Brazil, the GTA has a giant public, and all of them hinder the time to say something about the game, because we do not have a source of knowledge and relevant. So for that reason, I ask you humbly, a new language in Wikia, the Portuguese. I bet that page in Portuguese, in addition to expanding the site, would reveal the knowledge about this game so popular in my country.

Thank you for your attention, Allysson Barreto Sorry for my poor english...=)

Hey, Angela. My name is Racht, one of the Administrators on Bioniclepedia (Bionicle Wiki). I was wondering if you could look up the IP of Duochrome, a member of Bioniclepedia.

Problems With Quotes
Angela,

I am the founder and one of the four administrators to the Star Wars: Exodus Visual Encyclopedia wikia. Recently, we have been having an issue with our quotes template where, if we have multiple lines for the quote, it would simply return with the quote's source, followed by the placeholder. For example, instead of:

"Hello, there, how are you?" "I'm doing okay, and you?" "Just great, thanks for asking."

- Someone talking to someone else

producing this:


 * "Hello, there, how are you?" "I'm doing okay, and you?" "Just great, thanks for asking." -Someone talking to someone else

it will, instead, produce this:


 * "Someone talking to someone else" - 

Our code hasn't changed at all when this started out, and we looked at Wookieepedia and theirs appears to be working just fine. We even tried copy-pasting their code, just to see if we needed to update, but it did not help either. Furthermore, a single-line variation turns out just fine. (So, if we were to just have, "Hello, there, how are you?" in the content area, then it will turn out correctly.)

I don't know if you're the "go-to" person on this issue, but it is rather annoying to see the latter popping up instead of the former, so any assistance from you, or someone else, would be great. Thanks. --Cadden Blackthorne 18:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
