Admin
hi this is summer how do u be a admin thing Summer hat 23:43, January 7, 2012 (UTC)summer


 * On Community Central, admins are chosen at the discretion of staff and there's no formal nomination or request process. There are still many ways you can help out though. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  23:48, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

My apologises but I may need your help
I'm trying to make my user table collapsible or smaller, Any help please???--
 * Thank you!!--
 * Bah, sorry to disturb you but it not collapsing on my other user pages such as the TARDIS Index File (I'm a little worried in case it takes up too much space!!!).--


 * I've just checked your user page on Tardis and it's collapsing there. If you clear your browser cache it should collapse for you as well. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  02:55, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Mods
I have a question. I am a contributer to dragonvale wiki. I wanted to ask why wiki doesn't have a moderating system? I believe it would be pretty useful to have a mod system on the wiki and a couple of others agree.

 * Hi. :) I'm not sure what you mean by a moderating system. Do you mean on a wiki's chat or are you referring to user rights? Elaboration would be helpful! The 888th Avatar   (talk)  02:55, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Edit; I was refering to user rights, like a mod would have only some of the admins powers such as the ability to ban, edit others comments, and whatever else is needed to act sorta like a police of the wiki.


 * Btw, I am a chat mod for dragonvale wiki and it is somewhat useless to be a chat mod. The only thing it does is kickban people as far as I know. Also can you please respond on my talkpage so it notices me that I have a message.

 * MediaWiki wikis by default don't have groups other than the standard ones (bureaucrat, administrator, rollback etc.), but it is possible to configure new groups and assign specific rights to those groups. For example, on Avatar Wiki, we have fanon administrators who have some, but not all administrator abilities. If there is widespread agreement in your community that there is a need for a custom user rights group, such as a "mod", you can request one through Special:Contact. However, whether one is actually created is up to the discretion of staff, based on their judgement of whether a wiki actually needs a custom user rights group (usually, wikis don't actually need one).

 * So it is pretty much up to the Wiki staff? I will get to work on this, ASAP. Thanks for the help :D
 * Kululu12 03:32, January 9, 2012 (UTC)kululu12


 * Yes. Any time. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  03:33, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well myself and a couple of other friends have made a forum about it, check it out:Moderators
 * Kululu12 04:22, January 9, 2012 (UTC)kululu12


 * Nice, I hope your community can come to an agreement on the proposal. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:35, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well so far it is all support so it is going well, for now. Did you check it out? What still kinda sucks is that it is all up to the Staff. Btw, I have seen all the avatar episodes and even the movie, lol.
 * Kululu12 05:06, January 9, 2012 (UTC)kululu12

Yes, I did check it out. Hope you enjoyed the movie. ;) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  05:11, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

I have a question about Avatar. What exactly is "The last airbender: Legend of korra" and "The promise Trillogy"? I have never heard of it.

Kululu12 02:56, January 10, 2012 (UTC)kululu12


 * The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra is a new series about the Avatar after Aang. The Promise continues Team Avatar's story after the original series. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:45, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * How can I watch them?
 * Kululu12 04:49, January 10, 2012 (UTC)kululu12


 * The Promise is a comic out this month, but Korra won't air until later this year. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:50, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh ok thanks for the info
 * Kululu12 05:11, January 10, 2012 (UTC)kululu12


 * You're welcome. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  05:12, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey Avatar, what is your favorite avatar character?
 * Kululu12 04:27, January 11, 2012 (UTC)kululu12


 * See my Avatar Wiki user page. ;) Also, if you want to talk about stuff that isn't really related to Central's purpose, it's probably better and more considerate to everyone else to do this on the chat than on my talk page. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:30, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I tried doing that but you have an away status. I left you a message on the chat 1hr ago.

Inquiry
Not really sure who to ask about this, staff or admin, whatever ):

We have a uh... problem user on our wiki. Generally rude, impedes progress, utterly unpleasant, acts superior to everyone else, etc. We never did anything to her though because she never did nor said anything that warranted a ban, as much as I, and over time, others disliked her. She fought with me constantly, and even when I gave her alternative choices for things, she would blatantly refuse them, because they were not what SHE wanted. Finally after trying to take credit for a few recent happenings and being shown that she was in fact not responsible for them, she lashed out in return, saying she "had enough of this bullshit," and had her account disabled. Now, just a mere two days later, she is back with a new account, similar name.

I don't want to ban her just because I dislike her, because obviously this would not be a good use of my powers. Considering all of the drama she has put us through the last week, would I be just in banning her to prevent the same issues from popping up again? I mean, she comes back after two days after essentially ragequitting, and a person does not change in only two days, so I have no doubts she will cause trouble in the future again.

21:36, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * In general, you can ask anyone for advice, but if you need something substantial, staff is the way to go. :)


 * Basically, these things happen. Blocking this user by yourself at this point without further provocation isn't likely to do anything but infuriate her, which will make her a constant nuisance around the site while she skirts around traditional blocks. I think it's best if you use Special:Contact to ask for staff intervention. Good luck! The 888th Avatar   (talk)  22:47, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, so long as it's no one on our wiki and thus has an unbiased opinion about the issue, that would be great haha.


 * I figured as much, which is why I haven't done anything. As unpleasant as she is, she hasn't actually done anything that she can be banned for, but I would be lying through my teeth if I said I wasn't bothered by her making a new account and returning. She's already started off with much of the same attitude she had before, so I know that is only going to mean trouble for us in the future. I appreciate your opinion all the same though, I will see if I can ask staff for help. Thanks!

How do you change the words of "A Wikia Contributor" like the one in GnomeTown Wiki?

11:14, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Change,   and   on your wiki.  The 888th Avatar   (talk)  11:24, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Adopt a wiki
When it says 60 days inactive until able to adaopt a wiki, does it mean 60 days since the founder has been inactive or just admin/burrecrat in general?

MediaWiki help!
How can I change the text of "Create a blog post"?

How can I move the clock in Wild Ones Wiki to the top without "bumping the boxes"?

The navbox of our wiki seems to be a little bit strange. When it is "collapsed", the size of the bar shrinks and it is back to normal when we expand it. How can we prevent the bar to shrink when collapsing a navbox? An example can be seen here at the most bottom.

05:21, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing you mean the text displayed at the top of the editing field of Special:CreateBlogPage, right? To do this, you need to edit MediaWiki:Newarticletext on your wiki, which controls the text shown at the top of the editing field for the whole wiki. To make one specifically for blog posts, you need to add something like this:


 * If you want to keep the default text that is there, then you need to modify this to:


 * The problem with that clock is that Wikia recently changed the dimensions of the wiki header, which means that adjusting it smaller to make it fit where you have it at the moment would probably only result in it becoming unreadable. Moving it up would have it clash brilliantly with Wikia's top navigation. I suggest moving the clock into Wikia's top navigation. To do this, you first need to remove the javascript for that clock from your . Then, you need to add the following to  :


 * You also need to add the following to :


 * For the navbox, you need to make sure that the width is 100%. ;) This part...


 * ...should read something like...


 * If you need any further help, or if something I've said here is confusing, just shout. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  12:50, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
