Steven universe Fanon Wiki
Hi, I would make a request for Steven universe Fanon Wiki


 * My background for my Wiki will be this photo

If you want to put my background on my wiki click the Steven universe Fanon Wiki heading. CpBetahat (talk) 18:44, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Hi CpBetahat. To be approved for help, Steven Universe Fanon Wiki must meet the best practices criteria linked at the top of the page. Specifically, the number of "stubs" (short pages that are less than 200 bytes) needs to be 20% or less, so with 51 total pages, that would be 10 stubs or less. Once that requirement has been met, reply here to let me know, and I'll be happy to help.

Knights & Dragons Wiki
Hello Community Development Team! I'm FrosteeSnoman, an admin from the Knights &amp; Dragons Wiki. I was wondering if you would be able to do anything with the background of the wiki, as currently is looks quite amateur for the traffic and popularity that the wiki has.

Thanks in advance for the response.

 * Hi FrosteeSnoman. To be approved, these uncategorized pages will need to be categorized. Once that's been done, reply here to let me know, and I'll be happy to add Knights & Dragons Wiki to the list.

Castaway Wiki
To whom it may concern,

My name is Mathwiz100. I am one of the admins for the Castaway Wiki. My Wiki has had two people making an actual contribution to it in the past two months. Those two people are myself and Cougarina, the other Admin on our Wiki. I have met the "best practices" critria to the best of my abilities, but hardly anyone ever visits. What do I do to gt more people to come to my Wiki? Am I doing something wrong?

If you have any questions or comments, then feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

Mathwiz100 (talk) 22:23, May 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Mathwiz. One good way of getting your community noticed is by using Wikia's spotlight feature. You can request a spotlight at Talk:Spotlights. You can also find some tips and advice at Help:Attracting contributors. Good luck!

Despicable Me Wikia
Hey Wikia! My name is AO89, an admin on the Despicable Me Wikia. We need help! We recently applied for a Spotlight and would love a design redo and every article in shape. This request is in both areas of Design& General Organization. I think this would help us because as we get new users we should look good and organized. Our background and logo definitely a re-design. We would also like some custom code and hope you can help! We are the leading source in all things DM Wikia and have over a thousand views a day! We were also featured in a Featured Wikias blog. Hope to hear from you soon!AwesomeOrange89 (talk)

Poptropica Wikia
Hello Wikia! The staff at the Poptropica Wiki would like to have help categorizing pages and building pages a long with some design. We are currently holding Project: M.C.S where we are rebuilding the pages and the wiki and hope you can help with that. We could use some help with custom code a long with a few new background for different months. We believe that if we get this help along with a Spotlight we will be a very active wiki and act as a service to our users. We were the first founded Poptropica blog/fansite. Our 6th birthday is coming up in July and we hope to be perfect by then. So, we hope you decide to come help us out and have a great time doing so! AwesomeOrange89 (talk)

Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Wiki
Hi! I'm an admin of the Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Wiki. I'd like to request help with the tabber. The wiki currently uses this design. But, if it is possible, I would like the tabber to have more than one design because the wiki uses character color coding (a total of 16 colors). Specifically, I only want to be able to change the header background color of the tabber in every article it is used.

Did I get it across clearly? If not, please feel free to ask me. And I hope that my request will be approved. Celestetwit (talk) 13:36, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

If one of the admins at Heroes Wiki wants help with templates, please tell them to reply here or make a new request.

Alvin and the Chipmunks Wiki
It's that time for Munkapedia to update the site's skin to incorporate all four generations of character appearances.

,, &

Okay, this is what I'm striving for: I would like first of all to keep the current background; I'm just looking to modify it. The second image linked above I would like to be in the location of the top left group image but a little higher (not much) than the current group (if you can remove some of the dotted appearance due to the original being .jpeg that would be great). The image that is currently at the top left I would like to be moved down below the image that took it's place.

One side done. The top right image I would like to be moved up the same amount that the top left image is with no other modifications. Next, I would like the third image I linked to above to be below the top right image. Now for this image I would like the two characters in full view to be cut out of the image before going onto the new background.

Overall, I would like each group image to be approximately the same size (the originals size), with the focus of the audience's view on Alvin and Simon (the one in red and the one in blue if you don't know) as a result of the fluid layout. The color gradient of the background I wish to be the same. Lastly, all four images need to be seen without having to scroll but spaced evenly.

The background was done great last time and I'm hoping for the same quality again. Thanks in advance.

Rio Wiki (Português do Brasil)
Hi. I'm HarpyPurio, the co-founder of Rio Wiki (Português do Brasil). We are the new-born Portuguese site of Rio Wiki. We are currently stylizing our WikiHeader background but having some technical problem regarding its alignment and reference point.

As seen from these 2 images of the same header taken at different screen resolution, the background image fits only on certain resolutions (higher resolutions) and gets cropped when viewing from smaller ones causing some contents of depiction to be missed out.

Observing from how the cropping was done and the positioning of the background is, the background has been fixed to align to the left side of the header and therefore the cropping comes in from the right side of the header.

The following is its .CSS installment: .WikiHeader { background: url(http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140510013349/rio/pt-br/images/2/24/Rio_Wiki_Navigation_Bar_Background_Portuguese1.jpg), fixed; }

I would like to ask for assistance (if possible) in re-aligning this header bakground to be fixed on the right side of Wikia page and let the cropping be done on its independent left side instead.

Regards, http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140415142924/rio/images/c/ce/HarpyPurio-sig.png (talk) 11:43, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Girl Meets World Wiki
Hi wikia! I would like to request for you to make a background for the Girl Meets World Wiki! I want it to be like the picture below, but with a cooler background and for the colors of the background you can use a color from the Girl Meets World logo and maybe put in an earth or something. But please don't use the Riley and Maya (that's the two persons in the picture) picture that's already in the picture since those are terribly transparented. Use this for Riley and this for Maya. Also, could you make this and this pictures transparent and use it? :) I'm not so good at that, haha.

I also wanted to know if you could make a header for the wiki? Like the picture below, but could you use this and this picture and use Riley and Maya's head along with the Girl Meets World logo? And could you make it like it's fading out as in the last picture?

Also (again), I was wondering if you could make one of these? Like the picture below, but with Girl Meets World. If you could do all of the things above it'd be great and I would really appreciate it, thank you so much! :D

ThorstenSpeil Wiki
Hello!

I started a Wikia because I thought it looked promising. So I added a few pages and categories to try it out.

At the moment I feel like quitting and looking for another system for the following reasons: is this right, or did I just not find it yet? Everything else looks and works just fine.
 * no possibility to make categories or pages available only to certain users (rights management)
 * no possibility to attach files

Thanks if you take the time for an answer. Best regard!

Bejeweled Wiki
Hello, members of Wikia's Community Development Team,

My name is Andrew "Gemspinner019" Kowalewski, and I am an administrator of the Bejeweled Wiki. I have been an administrator for about two years now, and before I joined the wiki it was very run-down and abandoned (even the founder of the wiki left). Since joining, I have done my best to help the wiki by creating articles, writing content, and supplying images. The wiki is now doing much better, but there is still much more that needs to be done... and I would like to request your assistance with further helping me improve the wiki from years of neglect. The wiki pretty much needs a little bit of everything.

I look forward to hearing a reply from you. I hope you accept my request, as I would be willing to work with you to help optimize the wiki.

Hi there! So, I want a logo made. It's for a show fictional show called Tay and Jessie. The show is basically an adaption of the real life Disney Channel sitcom Liv and Maddie.
