Welcome
Welcome,, to Community Central!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual Wikia, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

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 socialise and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new Wikia, please let us know! Check out 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 and to help reverse spam and vandalism.

Enjoy! Greyman ( Talk ) 13:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

or ask me
Fine, I'll ask you something. I beg your forgiveness for my language, and stress it's bewilderment and not anger / hatred I am feeling. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING? A F K When Needed 11:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I've had KyleH on my watchlist since the time he was responsible for the gaming communities, so when your name popped up on my watchlist, I got curious. The logocreation people have recently posted something on the central forums, so I was aware of them. -- ◄mendel► 11:19, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No. You hinted that, for no obvious reason, you are experienced in editing / have the knowledge to edit the Answers skin. Which, to me, is testament to knowing everything. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 11:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have reskinned GuildWiki for Wintersday by looking at the page source/DOM tree and figuring out what classes or IDs I need to use to apply CSS formatting. I don't expect it is hard to do that for the answers skin. I have learned CSS since I started wikiediting. -- ◄mendel► 11:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup. Knows everything :P
 * One thing, Mendel. I shamelessly copied pretty much everything I tried from WoW Wiki but it's just not having an impact on the Answers skin. Yes, that's after KyleH pointed out I don't use the "normal" MediaWiki pages. A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 11:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It can't, because the "hooks" are pretty much skin-specific (and sometimes you need to check that your .css actually makes it into the cache. or you'll be seeing an old version). If you want help right now, make me an admin and get on irc (or is there a channel for unasnwers I should join?). -- ◄mendel► 11:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, no... I did see some changes. So not an old version. As I said, things like Recent UnAnswered Questions (RC widget... kinda) changed as it should. But the "main" section of the page ignored me. And gz, Mr. President Sysop. No there is not, I'm waiting for the Spotlight to get us a userbase before IRC so... you mean GuildWiki or...?

 * irc://irc.freenode.org/GuildWiki or irc://irc.gamesurge.net/gwiki, yes. -- ◄mendel► 11:51, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Cleared. -- ◄mendel► 21:57, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Meh user page
there's no change! I guess you tried to copy my userpage style huh?

--   Mvtech  Faithfully  10:57, August 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is a change. When you transcluded the page on somebody else's talkpage, the fact that you didn't close the table tags really messed up the page. I closed it, and the mess was solved. -- ◄mendel► 11:40, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

New users
I'm not replacing every new user's page with newuser, only those who suspiciously do not have an edit count throughout Wikia, per the user page policy here.

Good point about my talk page, I've fixed that. (As for the page protection, all users are required to login to edit any page on WoWWiki) -- 20:55, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link to the policy. Still, why have an "add image" link on the default userpage, and no mention of this policy? It bewilders me.


 * I've no problem with the page protection, just with the state of the interface (i.e. I'm used to seeing "View Source" and not "Edit" when I can't edit a page). -- ◄mendel► 21:07, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * The way I look at it, most normal users who are regular contributors to other Wikia wikis (and who are coming to Community Central for help or etc) should be encouraged to talk about themselves so the people helping them can understand more about them. People who are randomly (i.e., for image hosting) posting profiles on Central without any history with Wikia are doing so against policy. -- 21:13, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what end this policy serves. However, I've given up on the matter because I feel it's beyond my power to change it. -- ◄mendel► 21:21, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, policy on Central (and how to change it) seems a bit on the vague side. -- 21:26, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

ad free wikis
You asked about it. Here's a link: Ad free wikis 174.7.79.252 22:17, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that seems to be what I was looking for. -- ◄mendel► 22:34, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
