Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, XiaoQiaoGrace!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Community Central Forum. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- Brandon Rhea (Talk) 04:05, February 14, 2011

Changing background color of Vampire infobox
I hope that works. --Fandyllic 14 Feb 2011 9:28 AM Pacific
 * 1) Go to w:c:aveyond:Template:Vampire_infobox, and click the Edit button.
 * 2) Click the Source button on the upper right.
 * 3) Look for the first line at the top:
 * 4) Change   to   (new color should be something like ,  ,  , or  ; you can experiment).
 * 5) Save.
 * 1) Save.

Changing font color
If you see, change it to   (font color should be something like  ,  , etc.; you can experiment). -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 14 Feb 2011 6:34 PM Pacific

Fonts and wikis
-- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 23 Feb 2011 8:58 AM Pacific
 * 1) You can't upload fonts to a wiki. Ask Wikia via Special:Contact to help you.
 * 2) Wikia will not close a dead wiki unless it violates their policies. You could try adopting the dead wiki and changing its subject.


 * Concerning the dead wiki, if you can contact the admin or founder of it, you can request a merge. If both parties agree to the merge then you can contact wikia and ask them to redirect one to the other.--

You can't use Theme Designer as a non-admin
If you adopt the wiki, you can become an admin and use the Theme Designer: Community Central:Adoption requests. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 25 Feb 2011 9:52 PM Pacific

Template:Changechar
Since the w:c:supastrikas:Template:Changechar is not documented and seems to be used incorrectly in w:c:supastrikas:Template:Infobox character, I con't tell you how to fix it. Also, you don't really appear to be using Template:Changechar, so even if it worked, you probably wouldn't know.

Here's what I suggest.
 * The  symbol should only appear before   on items to the left of   in w:c:supastrikas:Template:Changechar.
 * It looks like  should be changed to   in w:c:supastrikas:Template:Infobox character.

You should really try to understand how a template works before copying it and using it. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 27 Feb 2011 9:27 AM Pacific

wikiarelatedpages-heading
Please report the problem where you see "wikiarelatedpages-heading" to w:c:aveyondseries:Special:Contact. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 1 Mar 2011 8:38 AM Pacific

Making new admins
You appear to be a bureaucrat at Aveyond wiki, so you can make other admins.

Here's how to make a new admin:
 * 1) Make sure you know the username of the user you want to make into a new admin.
 * 2) Go to w:c:aveyondseries:Special:UserRights, enter the username and click "Edit user groups".
 * 3) Click the "administrator" check box.
 * 4) Enter a "Reason" for why you want to make the person an admin and click "Save user groups".

That's it. The new admin should appear at w:c:aveyondseries:Special:ListUsers/sysop. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 1 Mar 2011 8:38 AM Pacific

Activity feed in right column of main page
I just added it directly in this change. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 1 Mar 2011 6:42 PM Pacific

Adding another admin
You need to be a "bureaucrat" at a wiki to add more admins. You appear to be a bureaucrat at Aveyond Series wiki.

To add a new admin: -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 8 Mar 2011 11:25 AM Pacific
 * 1) Go to Special:UserRights.
 * 2) Enter the user name of the user you want to make an admin and click "Edit user groups".
 * 3) Click the "administrator" checkbox so a check mark appears.
 * 4) Enter a Reason and click "Save user groups".

Comments on forum pages
You will probably have to ask Wikia if you can do this at w:c:aveyondseries:Special:Contact. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 8 Mar 2011 11:25 AM Pacific

Forum list in right column of main page
I added this, but your main forum list page seems to have problems. I don't think you set it up right. Maybe you can ask for help at Forum:Community Central Forum. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 8 Mar 2011 11:25 AM Pacific

adopting
Hi. In order to adopt a wiki, you yourself cannot have adopted or founded another wiki in the last 60 days. So you won't be eligible to adopt the other two wikis until mid-april. -- Wendy (talk ) 04:53, March 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * You just founded another wiki; you cannot adopt any wiki until April 17th. If the other user would like to adopt Dash Wiki have him or her make a request on the adoptions page.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 05:00, March 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * The reason Wikia has these rules is to prevent people from being overloaded with wikis and not have enough time to maintain them. I'm an admin at several wikis, but only the primary admin at a few (WoWWiki, Logo Creation, and Templates). Only WoWWiki takes alot of time, so I'm not overloaded.
 * Focus on the wikis you already admin and make them great. If you're the main contributor to just one interesting wiki it can take lots of time to make it good or great. Be patient. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Mar 2011 6:38 PM Pacific

Dash wiki and favicons
If you want to become a bureaucrat on a wiki that has an active founder (Dash wiki has DarlaDash), you need to convince that person that you deserve to be a bureaucrat. The only major difference between a bureaucrat and an admin is the ability to make other admins or bureaucrats. Do you really need to do that? If so, why? If you can answer those questions, maybe you will become a bureaucrat. It isn't a matter of time. You need to prove you need to be one.

As for favicons, if you have an .exe</tt> file you can't convert it into a favicon. You need to find a tool to extract the icon from the .exe</tt> as a .bmp</tt>, .jpg</tt>, or .png</tt> and then convert that file to a .ico</tt> file to make into a favicon.ico</tt>. If you can link the file you want to make into a favicon, I can help you make it. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Mar 2011 6:47 PM Pacific


 * Your reasons for wanting to be a bureaucrat at Dash wiki are not good enough. You don't need to to be a bureaucrat to do most of those things.


 * You should delete w:c:aveyondseries:File:Favicon.ico. You cannot convert it after it is uploaded and what you uploaded is bad. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Mar 2011 8:44 PM Pacific

Countdown timer
It would be best to ask how this is done at Forum:Community Central Forum. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 21 Mar 2011 8:56 PM Pacific

Merging Aveyond and Aveyondseries
Merging 2 wikis is not easy. First, you need to get the agreement of the bureaucrat/founder of w:c:aveyond (w:c:aveyond:User:Anonim Seipnir). After you have that, you need to decide which wiki remains and which to close. Once you decide which wiki is not closed, you need to start moving pages from the closing wiki to the not closing one. When most of the pages are in 1 wiki, you can use Special:Contact</tt> to ask Wikia staff to close one of the wikis. You can keep the name of either wiki, but have the closed name go to the not closed wiki.

I did this with w:c:wowhelp and had it now go to w:c:wow.answers. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 26 Mar 2011 7:17 AM Pacific

Wiki wordmarks and infobox problem
If you would like wiki wordmarks made, please ask at Logo Creation wiki. I will work on your request there.

As for the Phineas and Ferb Việt Nam wiki infobox problem, I think I fixed it as much as I can. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 2 Apr 2011 7:45 AM Pacific

Making an image HD quality.
w:c:vi.phineasandferb:Tập_tin:PF_Fansite_web.jpg cannot be made into HD quality, since it isn't big enough. This image is 673 × 410 pixels. HD quality needs to be at least 1280 x 720 pixels. If you scale the image up to this size, it will look worse. -- <span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Who?">Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 May 2011 9:31 PM Pacific


 * You can't do much to make it clearer. You can make it smaller which will make it clearer, but it will be smaller, like this (600px wide):

VI namespace translations
Hi Xiao Qiao, I just heard back from the engineers about translating namespaces to vietnamese, and it appears i had some wrong information earlier. The "Editing" namespace has been translated, but the rest are mediawiki messages, which should be handled by you at translatewiki.net. Add them there, and they were appear on your wiki next time we synch. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:25, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
