Numbers
Hey, I started a new wiki, [NUMB3RS], and I just wanted to ask if you had any advice? I started with 1 page yesterday, and I can't get admin rights for atleast a 2 or 4 months. Do you have any advice on like how to build a community?

Also, what do you think of how the site looks so far?

 * Awesome job there - looks like you are doing a wonderful job! I would recommend checking out the resources we have in founder &amp; admin central. There are lots of help guides and a support forum. You might also want to check out our webinar series. Best of luck! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:35, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

A short suggestion
Good day, I have seen how on the Avatar wiki, the activity section has an auto-refresh possibility. I wonder if it would be possible to make the wiki activity refresh itself since I press the refresh button or the wiki activity button about 100 times a day to check if vandalism occurs, new blogs, new forums, new comments and other appear. And I sincerely got a tired of clicking those two so much.

I can suggest that the time between the edit and the current moment to not be changed unless a new edit, comment... is made. I would love to not use refresh so much anymore XD

Thanks for reading this. User:Ricizubi 17:55, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know you can install this feature for the more advanced Recent Changes tool, follow the instructions at w:c:dev:AjaxRC. This might also work for WikiActivity. --  Random Time  18:02, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you import from Dev wiki, there is an option to set any page you want to auto refresh.--

Expanded navigation problem
The expanded navigation at my wiki isn't working, no matter what I do. The forums didn't help, so I was wondering if you could fix it. The categories won't update. MissingNo. here! Talk with me! 02:02, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * What exactly is happening? I don't see it enabled on your wiki currently? The categories don't always update automatically but can take a few days (the data is cached so it updates usually one once every couple of days). If there is a specific category you are having an issue with link me to it and I can try and help. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:38, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

POTBS Players Wiki
I am aware you (you as in Wikia Staff, not you personally) let Trickster22 adopt the POTBS Players Wiki. Even though Lord Cad Bane, the founder, was inactive, he has recently become active again, and was planning to work on it, only to find it stolen. Trickster22 is not of age to be using Wikia, he has admitted that on the POTCO Players Wiki in a blog of his (I don't have the exact name of the blog, but it's in his recent three I think). I would ask you please restore rightful rights to Lord Cad Bane. Thank you!

 * Hey, I was not aware. Probably best to contact the staff member who gave them the rights. Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:43, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Sulfur
Worked hard on all wikis. he should be a member of wikia utilities.
 * Sulfur is a member of VSTF. Only staff members need the wikia utilities as it is a backend right that allows for deeper access to the site. It is not given out just because a user has worked hard.--
 * Yep thats a staff tool. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:45, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Login Errors on 4 Different Wikis, Something's WRONG!!
Hi Sarah. I'm TheCoreyyDarnell. Well, I'm not logged in. The reason why is because for some reason, every time I tried to log on (4 different wikis, 4 times each), it said "It canceled my request as a precaution for hijacked sessions" or something like that. Can you try to get that fixed, I have some important business to take care of on a few wikis. Reply on my my talk page.

Thanks in advance, -TheCoreyyDarnell

Video of Wiki Closing
Can you PLEASE make a video of closing a wikia? IanPlaystationNerd 00:15, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Only Staff can close a wiki. It is little more than pressing a button. There is no need for a video of it being done as again, only staff can do it--


 * She IS a wikia utility and has a youtube account named Wikia. IanPlaystationNerd 01:10, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, Yes that is a staff only tool so there isn't a reason to have a public video. Are there others that interest you? Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:47, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
