Kuk Sool Won
Thank you so much for approving the Kuk Sool Won wikia. It has always been my dream to be an administrator. Thank you so much. Jimwitz 17:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh yah, when I tried to download my Wikia image it said my file was corrupted? What should I do for that?


 * Do you mean the logo or something else? Perhaps you were saving it under the wrong file type. You could use iaza to convert it to a png. Angela talk 06:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Yah it's the logo and it still after Iaza says my file is corrupted???

Another Nintendo question
Could you upload nintendozh.png at zh.nintendo.wikia.com, as Wiki.png? Thanks, Wikada - Talk Contributions 01:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * done :-) --rieke 08:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

FR Wiki sysop rights
Hi, I'm the admin of the Forgotten Realms wiki (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com). I want to give a couple of my contributors Admin access but I can't get to the Special:Makesysop page, despite the fact that I'm on the list of people who are supposed to be able to. Could you get in contact with me about this or fix it for me? I adopted the wiki from someone else who went inactive in case it matters. This is what was recorded originally: 18:54, 14 December 2005 Angela changed group membership for User:Hashimashadoo from (none) to (none) (=sysop)

Thanks! --hash


 * You need bureaucrat rights for that, not just sysop rights. I'll give you that now. See Help:User access levels for more information. Angela talk 15:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Anarchy Online Knowledge Base
I am going to start to try to spend a lot of time building Anarchy Online Knowledge Base. I would like to have sysop and buricratic tools. Thanks a lot. --Sir James Paul 00:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would also like at Atheist wikia and Jesus wikia. Can you please get back to me soon. Happy new year and god bless. --Sir James Paul 19:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It's best to start by editing these wikis and trying to grow the user base there. Once there's a community, the community can choose the admins. Angela talk 23:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Angela, there has been a lot of vandalism going on the past few days, as well as the past amount of hours, on the Cell phone wiki, could you please ban the user who is doing it? 14:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll look at it now. Thanks for pointing it out. Angela talk 19:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. (That was close...) 14:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Novelas Wiki Admin Rights
Not long after you gave admin rights back to me on the Novelas wiki, the request for adminship page was busy again. Now it's been seven days since User:Serprex has nominated himself as the third (and second active) admin for the site, and his track record looks good to me. User:JWSchmidt requested that I notify you about this so that you can take a look over his request.

I would also like to point out that since getting my admin rights back, I've continued to make plenty of constructive contributions to the Novelas wiki, so that now I have over 3000 edits (and I've at the same time tried to cut down on the number of deletions I made). I suppose that I may be eligible for bureaucratship, as the only other bureaucrat of the wiki, User:Jmoysae, has long been gone, so that the position is apparently empty; and as the second admin on the site I'm runner-up. I also suppose that sooner or later more people on the site will want admin rights, so that you would save yourself quite a bit of time by handing the responsibility to someone else, especially since I am by far the most active user on that site.

Sincerely, Yunzhong Hou 01:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I've made Serprex an admin. If you think there's a need for the wiki to have a bureaucrat, please nominate yourself on w:c:fiction:Novelas:Requests for adminship. Angela talk 17:03, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I hope we didn't cause too much trouble :)
Hi, In the Spanish speaking countries today is "The day of the Holy Innocents", which is like your "April's Fool". That's the reason for the notice saying Wikia has closed down Inciclopedia in Inciclopedia's main page. Any link on the page, including the fake Jimbo signature links to a page were it says it's all a joke. My apologizes if you got any complaints or something.--Rataube 14:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry. I didn't see any complaints. I just had the page on my watchlist and was confused. I often get confused with Uncyclopedia sites though. There's a fine line between vandalism and jokes sometimes. :) Angela talk 17:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Spotlight
Angela, I need help, how can the guns wiki be more advertised? Such as, when it comes to letting more people know about it. 12:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * List it on either Forum:Wikia Spotlight (and maybe email gil at wikia.com to point out your suggestion since he adds those and might not notice it there) or suggest it on Wikia news box suggestions since these suggestions will be added to the Wikia messages section when Wikimedia's fundraising drive ends. Angela talk 18:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! 17:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Public Diplomacy
Thanks for setting us up, Angela! I exported and imported the pages from the original public diplomacy wiki and it's now live at http://publicdiplomacy.wikia.com

My only concern is that there may be remnants of spam-bot linkage embedded within, as we had a problem with that (mostly casino related) for a while. Please let me know [mailto:andy@netzoo.net via e-mail] if there's anything i should be watching out for. Thanks Uscpublicdiplomacy 04:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll run the spam cleanup script on it to check. Angela talk 15:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Lego wikia
If no-one has adopted it yet, I was wondering if I can adopt it.

Community Team
Maybe I can join the team? I know Wikia, my English isn't fluent and I'm not using contact forms other than IRC, wiki, e-mail and mailing lists, but I'm here all day long. Szoferka 10:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Angela, I wan't to know what are the skills you look for in a new member of your team. I'm spanish, and I've joined my first wiki (inciclopedia) in September 2006. I'm admin there and I contribute to other spanish wikis. I've got good level in english and I can use e-mail as a contact form.

I think I could help spanish community with their doubts and questions, helping Zuirdj. I can be here almost all day. Do you think is soon for me or can I be useful? -- Mvp14 23:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Help
Angela, could you check out this user? He's been vandalising a couple of pages. 12:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I think is soon for me to have a job in wikia, I will ask Zuirdj about how can I help Spanish community, because I also think there isn't much work yet. However, I woludn't matter if you ask me later while looking for staff. Thank you for the answer and happy new year. -- Mvp14 23:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

On the other hand, I will apply for your help in Wikijuegos. Another user (Bob007) besides me, need the sysop status to change some FAQs and protect several pages. We have talked to the burocraut (Onipsis) but he is inactive since november 20th. I hope you can help us. Another admin has supported this decision. Thank you again. -- Mvp14 23:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Combining Wikis
I've discovered that three wikis--Fiction/Novelas, Conworld, and Basilica--have about the same aims/types of content. I was wondering if they could all be united into a single wiki, that way we'll have more users on the one wiki and we'll have improved content sharing. This is because all three wikis are rather small--Fiction/novelas with around 5 significant contributors, Conworld with about 3, and Basilica with about 2--and being together would be more of an encouragement to all of us, as well as for newcomers, knowing that we're part of a bigger project.

I don't know if there's any easier way to do this aside from copying individual articles from one wiki to another... If this is what it takes, well, I'm willing to do that work. That is, if you think it'll be a good idea to combine these wikis... --Yunzhong Hou 17:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh and by the way, I've just found two other wikis--fanfiction and fantasy--which are both abandoned, and copied their content onto the Fiction wiki, as the content is similar and can be useful to our team. Do you think adding a note to their pages on Wikia Central, directing them to a more active wiki, to be a good idea? -- Yunzhong Hou 21:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

About Uncyclopedia
I've edited there and it gets a huge amount of pointless pages created every day that waste admin time by having to be deleted. Do you think it would be best to only allow accounts to create new pages as on Wikipedia? Also, you should consider updating the editing toolbar (the buttons that appear at the top of a page when editing it) to coorespond with Wikipedia's (it could use a redirect text-insert button, for one). Thanks.--68.92.150.46 05:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

When you start a new conversation, please don't do so by editing the previous conversation
Ideally, you should using the + tab. If it is unavailable (as it appears to be here, see next topic), please edit the page as a whole. As is, I thought you were replying to a conversation that I was interested in. However, I couldn't find your post until I checked the history for that page. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Where is the + tab in talk pages for this wiki?
I don't see it. It is present in other Wikia wikis. Just not this one. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * See "Post a comment" :-) --rieke 05:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not seeing on any talk page for this wiki. Not just this page. I am used to clicking the + tab as its location is more predictable than a link in your box. Each talk page may have a different location and link text for that link. Will (Talk - contribs) 09:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for your outstanding work! 75.22.77.84 11:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

user babel templates
Hi Angela!

Do you know why the babel-templates on my userpage do not look like they should? Only the german one is in color with frames, the others are only text.

see http://klingon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Lieven

Reply to this in any way you like, thanks, Lieven 16:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Now I reply to my own question, maybe it's still interesting for other people, but I might be wrong too. Please tell me if so.

I noticed that the different templates are programmed in a different way, the german uses table commands including colors, and the english and the others work with "TD Class". I guess that's the reason why it doesn't work.

How can we solve this problem? Any suggestions? Lieven 12:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter Wiki
The Harry Potter Wiki doesn't have a redirect button in the edit bar. Any idea why? John Reaves 07:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The redirect button isn't a standard MediaWiki button, but something the Wikipedians have added on their own via Javascript (along with about a dozen others). They are added via Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.js in the section "Extra toolbar options" and are considered experimental. The method they use to insert them requires a newer version of MediaWiki than we currently have (using mwCustomEditButtons[] in wikibits.js). --Splarka (talk) 07:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So does that mean it can't be added? John Reaves 07:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * There was a very sloppy method to do it before  but I do not believe it was ever used site-wide due to cross-browser problems (it would take a while to dig it up, too). It isn't hard to create a redirect, just use the format:


 * 1) REDIRECT Target Page
 * How badly do you need such a button? When we get mw:Extension:CharInsert (hopefully this month) it should be possible to add something very similar to MediaWiki:Edittools. --Splarka (talk) 08:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's what I've been using, I just don't see why there isn't a button considering the English Wikipedia has one. John Reaves 09:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
