 * Hi Lancededcena. In order to be approved for design help, the wiki will need to meet the best practices criteria, mostly notable (in this case) the minumum of 50 pages. Once the wiki has met those criteria, come back a make a new request, and I'd be happy to add the wiki to the approved list.

Adele Wiki
Hi, I am the founder and only administrator on the Adele Wiki, a wiki fo8unded to inform people about the British pop sensation Adele, best known for her single "Rolling in the Deep". Um, we have one uncategorized page total on the wiki. There are (including myself) two or three editors on the wiki, I believe, and would love to get more editors in on the wiki. We are close to reaching 100 pages, and I would love to have a much more appropriate skin for the wiki with your help, possibly with an image of Adele in it. It would also be awesome if you could help to spruce up the main page. It's looking pretty good right now, but I have seen some of your work on other wikis, such as the Beyoncepedia, the Bruno Mars Wiki, and the Katy Perry, and it looks great! :) I could also use some major help attracting more contributors, and you guys seem like you could help a lot!

John Carter Wiki
Johncarter.wikia.com was previously a redirect to barsoom.wikia.com it was taken without my permission, and through a series of complaints I became basically in charge of Johncarter.wikia.com I consider it a subwiki for disneys john carter film franchise, and to my knowledge the wiki was made at the request of someone involved with the films advertizing. So the request is simple, I would very much like help getting the front page overhauled, I need the blog feed to be more limited, I need buttons of a sort to take users to the content, and I need to integrate disneys martian glyphs in some capacity!

http://cdn.dolimg.com/franchise/johncarter/downloads/john_carter_decoder.pdf

I really would like help with this, since I was somewhat wronged when this wiki was created, and I have gotten zero support with the wiki (just like barsoom.wikia.com) I just need an overhaul of the front page, that is all ralok 07:04, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Advance Wars Comedians Wiki
hi I'm BionicleManfanatic, Admin and owner of the AW Comics Wiki, an i would like my wiki to be remade to Wikia's standards!

My wiki meets the first requirement of 50 pages, however i would like to know how t check for stub pages. For the second requirement, my categorizing may not be standard, but it allows you to get around just as quickly. and for the third requirement, I am the only admin, there has been no debate on my wiki for any swapping of power. and the fourth requirement, the welcome template confuses me, however the main page is slightly similar, with a few differences i added myself for a little flare. The final requirement, there is zero images of inappropriate content!

BionicleManFanatic 18:33, December 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi BionicleManFanatic. I can tell that you have read the best practices criteria before making your request (thank you!), but you seem to have come confusion about them. Each of the requirements that you mentioned has the name of the page to look at in order to see if your wiki meets the requirement. For example, the line regarding stubs lists Special:ShortPages as well as defining a stub to be any page that is less than 200 bytes. If you check Special:ShortPages on your wiki (just copy-paste it into the search bar), you will see [### bytes] next to each page. Your wiki has 52 pages, so 20% would be 10, meaning that the number of short pages that are less than 200 bytes should be 10 or less.


 * For the line about every content page being in a category, check Special:UncategorizedPages to see which, if any, of the wiki's pages are not categorized. There are a couple ways to add a category to a page, which are explained at the Help Wiki.


 * For the welcome tool, look at MediaWiki:Welcome-user and you'll see that your wiki is set to @latest, which is fine.


 * Once the wiki meets the requirements regarding stubs (short pages) and uncategorized pages, come back and reply, and I'll be glad to add the wiki to the list. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  23:26, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Content team. WikiShrek has more than enough contributors, especially recently thanks to a spotlight. But we seem to be having trouble keeping those contributors.
