Forum:Adjusting the site settings

1. How do you change a type of wikia, for instance if you have put it in the wrong category? This page, where it should be in the category "Philosophy", is currently in the "Lifestyle" group. Either any admin help change that or anyone provide me an alternative way would be grateful.

2. How do you change a name of Wikia? I intended to create the site not in English, but I have named it in the English language. How do I change the name, and if I have done so would URL be changed or stay in English? As same as no 1, it can be changed through the page given. If so could the wiki title be changed to พุทธวิกิ please? Thank you very much.

3. How do you change the namespace of a site, i.e. translating the untranslated namespaces? I've tried search TranslateWiki, but failed.

4. How do you check the storage size (MB, GB) of your site?

Thank you very much for any help and sorry for bothering you all with 4 questions.


 * There is no such thing on Wikia as a setting page to change all that you demand.
 * You could have edited the page to change the category on the page yourself.
 * The name of the wiki that is returned by and the URL of it need to be changed by staff.
 * To translate namespaces, you must have access to some files on the hosting wich only Wikia staff have access.
 * I dont think you can really check the size of the database of the wiki but maybe in Special:WikiaStats
 * To contact a staff to ask for the changes, use Special:Contact on the wiki where you need help. — TulipVorlax 08:03, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * For No. 1, I could not edit it. I could only view source. I don't know why. --Passa 08:28, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe because your account has just been created.
 * I'm not sure but you might need to wait a few days.
 * If it's not that, then i dont know. — TulipVorlax 01:39, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * If you want to change the category (correctly called a "hub") your wiki is in, Special:Contact is the only way. If you want to change namespaces or add some, again, Special:Contact. As for checking storage, I'm not sure if that exists, but if you go to Special:SpecialPages and look at the top section, there is a large list of report pages and what not. Also, if you go a little lower there is a section called "Media reports and uploads". Special:Statistics is the best source for information on your wiki.
