Welcome
Welcome to the Central Wikia, Drtomjenkins!

We are 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 Help Desk. If you need assistance from a member of staff, 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 let us know or request 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! &mdash; 15:18, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Whitespace
That whitespace should be an ad. The image on the right is what I see.

Re: Ads and Pagetitle
If you want an ad blocked, Help:Bad advertisements has all the details. As for the "Page - IGI Wiki", all you have to do is change MediaWiki:Pagetitle to

Re: Next / Prev bar
I've never done those kinds of templates, though I know subpages (such as Page/Stuff/More Stuff) do something like what you want. You could just create a template that has the links that take you to the next/prev page by adding something like

Previous: Page 1

Next: Page 3

and make it float to the right or place it at the bottom. E.g. like the bottom of Metal Gear Solid 4 Walkthrough/Act 1 at Metal Gear Wiki.--Richardtalk 20:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Google index
Yeah give it some more time. I've noticed it some times takes a day to a week for a wiki to pop up in Google.--Richardtalk 17:13, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Gray
Add this code to your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css: /*** Forum formatting (by -Algorithm & -Splaka) ***/ .forumheader { border: 1px solid #aaa; background-color: #f9f9f9; margin-top: 1em; padding: 12px; } .forumlist td.forum_edited a { color: black; text-decoration: none } .forumlist td.forum_title a { padding-left: 20px; } .forumlist td.forum_title a.forum_new { font-weight: bold; background: url(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/4/4e/Forum_new.gif) center left no-repeat; padding-left: 20px; } .forumlist td.forum_title a.forum_new:visited { font-weight: normal; background: none; padding-left: 20px; } .forumlist th.forum_title { padding-left: 20px; } That should do it.--Richardtalk 20:06, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Gaming skin
If you want to change skin colors, you can do that at MediaWiki:Monaco.css or at User:Drtomjenkins/monaco.css. To change the background, I believe the code is

wikia_page { background-color:#000; }

which is for the article area. For the area behind the article, you could use color1:

.color1 { background-color: #EEC947; }

Hopefully this helps. I'll see if I can find the code for the gaming skin, I know it is somewhere. I found it: http://images.wikia.com/common/skins/monaco/gaming/css/main.css --Richardtalk 17:04, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Navbox
I put a sample at the sandbox. Basically, the code would be like:

Which would look like:

Re: More capabilites to edit
I don't think this is possible, to edit MediaWiki messages you have to be a sysop, bureacrat, helper, or Wikia Staff. However, bureacrats are now able to add and remove sysop status, so you could ask the bureacrat on Thief Wiki if you can have sysop status for a few days and then when you're done with it tell him to remove it from you. Other than that, I don't think there's anything else you can do.--Richardtalk 21:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Find and replace
I use pywikipedia, which has a "replace.py" option that replaces text with other text. It's fairly simple to use, you could try that.--Richardtalk 18:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
