A minor question
My headline at sonic fanon wiki says I was there since June 29th, when I clearly joined on augest 22nd of 2009, is it a slight bug on the user's own page and could this be fixed? if not please reply, thanks Tails  6000  (Did I mention Blue Team SUCKS? ) 04:19, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, this is a known bug. I've been told it should be fixed however, send any more irregularities in via Special:Contact from the wiki its happening on. -- 04:23, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Christina, I started a DIY wiki called Knitting and Crochet Pattern Archive. It is similar to the Vintage Sewing Wiki. Is there a way to submit it or link it to the DIY category page so that it will show up when someone clicks on DIY?

Thank you,

Hi Christine.

Here is our URL to the Knitting and Crochet Pattern Archive

Thank you for any help you can give it. I am still trying to figure things out, but I think it looks pretty good so far.

I think I am pretty good so far for content. I just want to get the word out to other knitters and crocheters, so a spotlight would be wonderful as well as the link to the diy list.

Thanks again,

Hi Christina,

Thank you for adjusting the slide show. I appreciate your help. I tried adding a poll but had a hard time figuring it out. It took up the whole page. I can't figure out how to add areas on the left or right. It is hit or miss because I am not really educated in computer lingo.(I am a high school Spanish teacher) So I looked at the source code on the Vintage Pattern wiki and ended up with something similar. I also took the all the wiki activity notes off the main page. I would like to figure out how to feature an area similar to Vintage's "Vintage Patterns by decade." I have a category called decades. I would call this area "Knit & Crochet Patterns by Decade." I would like to put this on the left side. And fill it the blank area above the poll with another doily picture.

Feel free to straighten anything out to make it look better.

Thanks again for your help. I feel it will only get better. I love old patterns and have 1000's more to add myself.

Lori

Hi Christina,

I figured out the poll, I put it on the bottom of the page.

Thanks,

Lori

Monarch?
Hi! My classmate told me you were (or is?) a monarch due to the name "Christina I". Is it true? -- 10:42, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

A question about some recent bug that is bugging me
Dear Christina

I can't post links to various youtube videos for some reason, either it;s a bug, or the youtubers kind of want some videos to just normal youtubers. if you can fix this I'd appreciate it, I couldn't find the contact wiki thing on the sonic fanon wiki.

Deep apologies if I wasted any time. - Tails 6000  (Feel the power, of TOASTY! ) 23:02, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

End of Year at Wikia
Hi

On The Pioneer Trail Wiki (formally know as Pioneerville wiki) I think the highlight for me was when a couple of other people came to help with it. There is still so much to do and so few people working on it so I really appreciate their help.

I was pleased when Zynga released Ghost Town and The Pioneer Trail was also good but both had disappointing finishes.

On a personal note I was happy to have been made a bureaucrat this year for the site. --

reply to thanks
Hi again Christina

The questions you asked are difficult to answer but I'll try

Firstly I'm pleased you think the site is looking good but I know what we haven't got done yet (over 1000 pages + images) and new stuff coming out so fast we can't keep up.

Everyone was excited by the release of the Trail which was when they renamed Forntierville to The Pioneer Trail. This allowed Pioneers (name they use for players) to travel to different areas. There was this really big buildup to Fort Courage which was the destination of the Trail. whilst there were glitches in the game (which is usual) people were pretty excited with anticipation of getting to Fort Courage. But when they finally opened Fort Courage it was such a disappointment as there were no mission or much to do there at all. The developers say they just opened it and will release missions for it at a later date as this would allow pioneers to redo the trail. The amount of missions, buildings, collections, and Badges that have been released is considered to many by most pioneers.

Another area they released was called Ghost Town. I thought it was pretty good until it got to the end and again it was a disappointment. However the most complained thing in the game is the glitches.

At least now pioneers can play 3 different areas so when they have nothing to do in one area they can do something somewhere else.

One good building they released this year (as opposed to useless ones) was the Greenhouse which allowed pioneers to place their crops in there and neighbors could visit your homestead and also enter that building to tend crops. Whilst I personally think it was one of the better things they have released a lot of pioneers don't use it.

As for favorite animals I would have no idea. I have so many in my inventory and have no where to place them as space on the homestead is very limited. I do have a Ghostly Horse which I think is pretty cool.

For the wiki we have had a couple more people start helping. But I have found a few help flat out then when they get to the required number of edits they apply for titles like admin etc and then you hardly see them after. However the ones who have stayed helping have been really good and helpful as well as giving ideas etc. I appreciate their help. It's a shame people who visit the site don't try to help but just complain because something isn't done. Our wiki shows we have a lot of Stub pages but in reality most of those pages are almost finished and only need a couple of things like the images uploaded. We use Stubs so we can find what needs finishing as well as pages with hardly any info.

One thing we have been working on is having the wiki site officially recognized by Zynaga as an official fan site. We have upgraded all our policies and placed quality check projects in place which we are still finalizing.

If you want to know anything I haven't mention just ask as I'm not good at writing this sort of thing. --

Hi Christina, it's been a pretty long story this year. We went from about 30 editors to over 100, and many people have put their ideas for their own games and stories up, as they're supposed to. It's too bad that so much drama has gone on. A few vandals, a hoard of scathing critics (that caused the adoptee to temporarily abandon the wiki, and make me a bureaucrat), but we solved it by making the wiki a democracy and kicking the most scathing critics out. I also had to make some pretty tough decisions, such as blocking 2 of my wiki friends, because they were causing a lot of drama. But, now that a year or so has gone by, I feel that the "dark says" of the wiki are over. Universal 21:31, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Lifestyle hub(s)
Hi, Christina. Could you please check out the conversation started at Forum:Lifestyle_Hub_Wikia and help me (and others?) understand how the Lifestyle hub is intended to work? There are a few different locations that call themselves the lifestyle hub and all are out-of-date and incomplete. I expect the admins and contributors to lifestyle wikia would be happy to help, if you want, but it's very unclear which hub is the right one or how to help. I'll look for your response in the forum. Thanks! -- CocoaZen 17:04, October 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick response, Christina. I'll be happy to make some updates to the hub.  I'm working on enough wiki that I probably won't do too much for awhile.  Are both http://lifestyle.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_Lifestyle and http://www.wikia.com/Lifestyle considered Hubs?  Is that second page pulling the Hot Spots and Top Editors automatically?
 * The Home wiki has been spot-lighted before. At some point that might be helpful again.  I'm glad you like the Home wikia and would appreciate any help you can give.  I haven't had much luck attracting other, ongoing contributors.  (I've had much better luck with some other wiki that I helped get off the ground.  And, I could use a fresh perspective on what needs to happen to make it more successful.)
 * -- CocoaZen 04:04, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks again! I'll create a few new pages for some of the other lifestyle wiki on the Lifestyle wiki.
 * The hublink template is not working correctly and it's a protected page.
 * More in a bit... -- CocoaZen 21:25, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

2011 Highlights
Our wiki did a whole slideshow/video [Download SlideShow File] to show our wiki year and its great! 2011 was such an great year! Tama 63  17:32, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Dragon Age Wiki
The release of Dragon Age 2 was the most important milestone of the year, for the DA Wiki. Because due to that release many debates were created in the forums and really showed how passionate people are about the DA franchise, as well as BioWare. These debates were operated for months, even now few new debates create within forums, time to time.

Orlesian Murder Mystery is one of the highlights in DA Wiki. it was an event that demonstrated the creativity of Wikis' users in "short stories" and "art" categories.

Lifestyle Hub
I recommend making CocoZen a bureaucrat and sysop on the lifstyle wiki, since there are lots of areas which need sprucing up.. .which are protected also please see hereTama 63  20:32, November 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Tama63.
 * Christina_l, I'm admin of enough wiki, so I'm feel any desire to be admin on the Lifestyle wiki, but it would be good if someone could delete the marked pages. If you want, so I'll accept admin responsibility for a bit.
 * But the main reason I'm dropping by is to ask if you have or can provide a list of all the lifestyle wiki -- preferably with the number of articles?
 * -- CocoaZen 04:14, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes that would be helpful --Tama 63  07:47, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, we're both referring to the Lifestyle hub wikia. I'd be perfectly happy for it to be someone else, but it needs an admin... someone to at least delete the marked pages. -- CocoaZen 01:50, November 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh! CocoaZen I'll make you an admin on there and I'll actually head up re-organizing that wiki, might not happen right away but I'll have my team work on it and it will be fixed up by the end of the year. Thanks! Christina 17:57, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Yearbook for The Ferry Wiki
In Britain there are several cities which have lots of ferries. I am aware of Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover (which are all fairly close together) in the south of the UK. My favourite ferries are personally the European Highlander/ Causeway. I have some pictures I took when I last went on the Cairnryan - Larne route!

On our Wiki we started out by creating articles about ordinary ferries and soon expanded out to Catamarans. After I, vice admin (as we call admins who were promoted) suggested we should create Cruise Ship pages to founder Erlopez we started to get even better! The Wiki is not always very busy but we do get visitors here and there! We would have about 10 users who have edited if you count IP Adresses. At halloween we even made a special logo with the writing made black and the water turned orange. Our wiki has a permanent logo but we may need to enlarge it when the new navigation launches sitewide or find some .css code to center it. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111101054625/theferry/images/8/89/Wiki-wordmark.png http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111026162739/theferry/images/archive/8/89/20111101054623!Wiki-wordmark.png
