Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Technobliterator!

We're 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 staff member, 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 create 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! -- Uberfuzzy (Talk) 17:51, 22 May 2009

Re: Getting rid of the shoutbox?
This be my source. Killr 15:20, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Shoutbox
If you don't like the shoutbox, then why do you use it? =P Lucario of the Gods (talk 16:24, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah just like Luc said (—Sporesauce) 16:27, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

So you're telling me that the shoutbox is used to tell people not to use the shoutbox? Lucario of the Gods (talk 16:30, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Spore Wiki is not J&D Wiki, Techno. The shoutbox can be used for multiple purposes. Try listening to other people as well, as we are listening to you. Lucario of the Gods (talk 16:34, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I don't wish to argue with you, but there are some advantages of a shoutbox.
 * 1) When blogs become offtopic. No not everyone wants to use IRC or MSN.
 * 2) Its a nice place to send quick messages.
 * 3) It doesn't have an impact on wikia, as in history, so uneeded conversations aren't saved.
 * 4) Users should be allowed to voice their opinions. Wiki's are for anyone to edit, so these changes should also be a community based decision. I read that it is not utilized, this seems incredbly biased and false to me, as it is used quite regularly across most of wikia.
 * 5) It has no bad impact on a wiki, not even every user discovers it.

Yes, it does have disdvantages as well, but these will happen on IRC or blogs as well. Blogs are the very worst. -- Wormulon  Talk to me  19:11, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I hate the arguments, but maybe the shoutbox isn't the cause of it. Besides, in comparison with blog conflicts and talk pages (SporeWiki went through quite a few silly arguments, when Spore came out, like whether the Grox were carbon based or silicon based, should the Screebles be extinct etc) there has been not nearly as many. I think they are always going to happen when users are around, its human nature, and the fact of the matter is that they are usually rare and short-lived. -- Wormulon  Talk to me  19:26, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Global .js
I have no idea, actually. Most of the coding, if not all of it, came from Joey, but he's quite inactive at the current moment. However, I can try and make it wider, not sure how successful I'll be, though. User:Sactage (Talk) 12:37, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Navbox help
Ugh, where do I start? From what I see, you managed to get the colors in the Navbox/alt template to look similar to the ones in the Navbox template. Unfortunately, the Navbox/alt template uses a lot of css classes for a number of elements and styles (for padding, margins, borders etc.) - majority of which will most likely never be used outside the template - which makes trying to copy the Navbox template style really difficult.

If I were you, the first thing I would do is to copy the va-navbox classes from Common.css to Monobook.css, so that the ones in Common.css don't override any Wikia.css fixes. After that, at least some of the white borders should disappear, which should make the template look better. But the CSS end of the template is really complex - there is no one or two lines that can magically make it look like the Navbox template, so it would take me a lot of time, and you a lot of trial and error to make it look as you wish.

Instead of copying this overcomplicated template, wouldn't it be easier for you to expand the 'old' Navbox template to support any functionality you wish for it to have? — Sovq 17:10, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure if that's what you wanted, but the 'nested' template in your sandbox had a  parameter set, which excluded it from being styled as nested. Assuming the "Navbox characters TPL" and "Navbox characters Jak 2" templates will have the first unnamed parameter set to "nested" it should work as expected. — Sovq 17:52, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see any way of it being possible for  to make it work as you want it to with the current structure.   would need to be a template itself that has support for a " " parameter, for it to make any change. Currently   is just a page which contains one   template call. As I understand, a   template would need to replace the   templates on the 'nested' template pages, and then filled in accordingly. Altenativelly this could be done in order to define a template to be nested. — Sovq 18:55, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
