OK, so I made a new Wikia ( http://proboards.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page ) that you apporoved, but am having trouble with it. I don't appear to have any administator powers, and don't know what my "administrator" username or password would be, as I never got an email stating it. Can you help me?


 * You just need to log in as Zangoose if that is your account. If you don't remember the password, use the "send new password" button on the login page. Angela (talk) 04:27, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! One more thing....
This is still the owner of Proboard Wiki speaking.... Thanks! But one more thing: Are there any administrator privilages that should be seen in this account? It appears to be the same as any normal users. Thanks again :)


 * See the Administrators' how-to guide. Basically, you can delete pages and block users, but you don't yet have any pages or users, so the access level makes little difference. Angela (talk) 17:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Japan Wiki
The Japanese Wiki has already been created but I am making an English version. Oh and can I be admin on all the projects I create? General Eisenhower (war) 21:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Which wiki are you talking about? The war wiki is in English, not Japanese. Angela (talk) 08:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

RLDS - InterWiki link problem
Hi. I stumbled onto the RLDS wikia today to see what it was, and discovered that the admin was having a problem with InterWiki links. Testing it, they don't seem to be working. Were you aware of that? Also, it doesn't appear to be included in the List of Wikia, although it's admin has helpfully started an info page on it. Thanks, Nhprman 01:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. It wasn't in the list just because I made it at 3am and went to bed before doing that. :) It's there now, and the interwikis are working again. Angela (talk) 03:01, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You're terrific. Thanks! Nhprman 20:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Fantasy-Worlds
The administrator from Fantasy Worlds seems to have been inactive since the 28th of December. I'm very interested in taking over this project, as I have a great interest in fantasy, and will be very active (every day). Macai | Talk


 * There's no ownership of wikis, so you wouldn't really be taking it over, but feel free to edit there and redevelop the site if you like. If you find you need admin access there once you've made some edits, just let me know. Angela (talk) 17:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Alright. Thank you! Macai | Talk

Angela! Please help!
Nuipedia has been taken over by some weirdo! Please restore power to me and take away his SysOp priveleges! I am the rightful owner of Nuipedia, and he has blocked me! KFan II 22:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Please don't call other users weirdos. Have you tried discussing the problems with him? Are you adding inaccurate information to that wiki? You do not own the wiki, and it's not possible to block an admin. Angela (talk) 07:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the weirdo comment, but this user has somehow become an admin (I did not appoint him), and he has blocked me, and I was an admin and a Buerocrat. I was not putting false information on the wiki, at least not any I know of. Not being able to edit, I cannot converse with him. Please find out how he hacked into the system and why he did it. Thank you. KFan II 20:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Angela, there's a prob. You let LL run Bioniclepedia, since KFanII left, so LL shouldn't be blocked. - Bioran23
 * Heres the story, to the best of my knowlege(I'm always telling storys for this aren't I?)Anyways, LL sees our wiki, and it inspires him to make his own wiki. He requests a bionicle wiki to Angla, and she instead gives him admin powers to Nuipedia. LL starts fixing the wiki by taking out the false info (KFan, It is false) and also blocks KFan for the false info and also since he abandonded it (I don't think he should have blocked him, but whatever). Anyways, KFanII comes back and sees that LL is running it. Thinking he hacked into the site, he goes to Angla and makes the comment above and blocks LL for infanite. She unblocks KFan and LL, but KFan comes back and blocks LL. Angla, I suggest unblocking LL.--Bionicleman of BS01 01:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I only want to say that admin can unblock himself at Special:Ipblocklist. Szoferka 02:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I know (Since I am one), but I don't think LL does. - Bioran23


 * I think both of them need to discuss this instead of getting into pointless blocking wars with each other. I gave LL admin access because KFan said he was leaving the wiki, and it needs someone new to look after it. Angela (talk) 06:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Angela, how could you do this? He has ruined my whole site! KFan II 16:50, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It was never your site. You also said you were quitting the project and wanted nothing more to do with it. How is he ruining it? Angela (talk) 19:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, KFanII, I'm trying to help you by reverting the vandallism and trying to get you to accept LL, when you delete my user page and claim that the two of us (LL and me) are planning a coup against you. Now you're making me mad. You do not own the site, if you want to own a site, go and make one yourself. And there is no such thing as a grand admin, all admins have equal powers. And he isn't ruining it. He just changed the icon and removed the false info (And don't say it isn't false, because it is). All he wanted was his own bionicle wiki, he did not want Nuipedia, but Angela gave him admin powers on Nuipedia. It isn't a coup at all. And stop saying that you are like a king, you are no better than anyone else. As the Declaration of Independence says, "All Men (and women) are created equal, that they are endowned by their creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among thease are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happyness". Memorize those words, Thomas Jefferson is smart. You are equal to Bioran, me, Legolover, and everyone else on this planet.--Bionicleman from BS01 22:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Angela, I sent KFan II a user talk message appoligizing for whatever trouble I may have caused him, and he will be welcome on the Bionicle Wiki as long as he confirms his sources. -LegoLover
 * I completely agreed with you B-Man. KFan, you are not the top, even if you think you are. And as an extra note, you are equal to every living being on Earth, even snails and cats, although they might be less intelligent, they are related to us since we evolved from them. I am not offending you KFan, but you and I are exactly equal to the rest of Earth. - Bioran23

Help!
On my wiki w:c:AustinPowers, I have been having several technecal difficulties. And that's about it. I will tell you about any more problems. Dr.Evil(Talk) 00:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Regualr Sysops cannot protect pages, only Burecrats can.
 * 2) The logo will not load, and I did exactly as Help:Improving your Wikia said to. Problem solved. I just had to update the browser. The protection thing is still a problem.


 * I've looked at this, and can't see a problem with protection. I made an account admin only, and protected with that account - all seemed normal.  Can you give more details if you are still seeing a problem?  Thanks -- sannse (talk) 08:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Help with vandalism required
One particular vandal keeps ruining The X-Files Wiki and using different IP addresses. Is there any way to stop this? --81.79.26.90 20:42, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


 * They are most likely proxies, just block them, and consider temporary semi-protection of the high profile pages ("Block unregistered users") until it abates. Splarka 22:42, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Is there a way to protect the entire site from contributions by unregistered users? --81.79.26.90 23:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I believe that is against general wikia policy. If it is a serious attack with a vast number of unblockable IPs, you might try contacting JasonR (or in IRC@ http://irc.wikia.com/ ) but I see only 5 blocks today, which isn't that many. You might op a few more trusted contributors there or hold votes to nominate some. Splarka 23:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

AIDS Dissent Wikcity

 * It is dead and redundant. Even worse, it's interfering with our google rankings. Thank you. Revolver 04:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've emailed Jason to ask him to close it. Angela (talk) 00:39, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you kindly remind him again? I hate to be a pain in the rear, but the project has moved on elsewhere, and when someone comes along, it gives them the appearance that nothing is happening. Thanks. Revolver 00:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Pourriez-vous me dire comment trouver le logo qui se trouve sur ce modele?

--Wikisoft* @@@-fr 15:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Your email
Yes, I am the same user from Wikia, and Wikipedia. Whopper 22:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. It would help single signon later if you make sure your Uncyclopedia and Wikia emails are the same in your preferences. Angela (talk)

Linux Kernel Configuration
how does one create (or suggest) a new beta page...for example, i'd like to create a page that lists every configuration option in the linux kernel tree, where people can edit more descriptive analysis of what each feature is used for (real world applications, etc.), so people can compile better kernels for their own use (sorry if this is too geeky)...just need to know how to get the project started


 * Just go to http://en.linux.wikia.com and add a link to the page you want to make. Then follow that red link to create the page. Angela (talk) 23:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Wiki creation
Hi, I've filed a request for a new wiki, do you have some time to take a look? I would really like to start working on it. Idgl 22:05, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This is now at w:c:linksextremismus. Angela (talk) 23:12, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Dissapearance of Recent Changes and Community Portal pages
Dear Angela,

I have just noticed that the Recent Changes and Community Portal pages of the Amazone wikia have disappeared (wiped out). There is no way of retracing who did this, since there is no history left of the changes. Do you have any idea of what happened, and how can I get my pages back?--EVC 23:35, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Some configuration files for some wikis were accidentally destroyed today. Jason has regenerated new configs, but there are still a few problems. He has a list of which wikis are broken so is working on fixing those. It will temporarily affect the sitename and the project namespace for some wikis. Angela (talk) 23:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikia & Toolserver
Is it possible to create copies of Wikia databases on Toolserver (as it is done for Wikipedia, Wikibooks etc.)? Edward Chernenko 08:38, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I doubt it since the toolserver is for Wikimedia projects, but you can get a database download for Wikia sites. Angela (talk) 23:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Edward Chernenkoo a 06:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Hide templates on edit page?
I am not sure if this is what you were trying (with, but I added a css for the editing page of Wikia to hide the "Templates used on this page" list just on that one edit page (class="templatesUsed"). Revert if not useful. Also: It is possible using these per-page css to put a hidden div message box in a message (such as MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning or MediaWiki:Edittools with (for example)  , and have it only display on certain pages such as "Editing Wikia" thusly: #hiddeneditmesage { display: inline !important; }, although this will appear below the edit box. Splarka 09:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Nice trick. Thanks. Angela (talk) 23:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Sysop status on SWFanon
Hello, we would like to ask if administrator status can be given to some users in Star Wars Fanon, since Neomessiah isn't there. The candidates would be Wikimaniac, Ewoksfist, Diego Amerez and TempMan. Thanks in advance. User:Wikipsycopath is not Willy on Wheels, he is an alternate account of Ewoksfist, could you unblock him? Thanks. TempMan | Talk 11:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to unblock anyone who has been involved in page move vandalism, and I'm not going to make vandals into sysops. TempMan is Johnny the Vandal. Wikimaniac is the same user as Ewoksfist and has at least 6 other usernames. Angela (talk) 23:27, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikihowto
Hello. Now that Wikihowto is more polished with a few contributors (between 3 and 6), i would like to start a french (fr) verssion and a romanian (ro) verssion, because this are languages that are native (ro) and almost native (fr) for me (english is a language learned in school/internet instead). I will continue contributions to english until the critical size is reached and more. Thanks. moa3333 23:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It might be best to add content in those languages to the same wiki for now, rather than starting separate ones if you're the only person who would be editing them. Once there are a few other fr or ro speakers active on that wiki, they could be split off into their own wiki. Angela (talk) 09:34, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you~--KJ_(talk) 14:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll do this tomorrow when I have better internet access. I'm on dial-up today. Angela 17:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Language
Hi Angela, can you set the default language of asuh.wikia.com to id (Indonesian)? I found the site interface is a little bit strange. For ex: the Main_Page is already translated to "id" (Halaman_Utama) and the Help namespace already translated to id also ("Bantuan"), but a lot of system messages is still in english. So the interface is a mixed language now. Thanks. Borgx 04:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I find that if you login as administrator, then a lot of messages are still in english. but if you login as user it's already in indonesian. But the indonesian interface is not the same as the current indonesian wikipedia interface. w:c:asuh indonesian interface seems to be outdated compared to indonesian wikipedia. thanks foryour help angela. Chaerani 05:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Please check your preferences. Perhaps you have chosen English there. Angela 17:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * People should have Indonesian as a default interface language since the wiki is written in Indonesian, and they should not need to register/login in order to have Indonesian interface. Borgx 14:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Users can have whatever they like in their preferences. It isn't dependant on the wiki. For example, my interface is always English regardless which wiki I'm on. If users create an account on there, their language will be Indonesian unless they change it. Unregistered users will see the wiki in Indonesian. It's only people who made accounts on non-Indonesian wikis and didn't change their preferences to Indonesian who will not see it in Indonesian. Angela (talk) 21:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Picture Vandalism on Memory Alpha
Hi Angela. I'm an admin over at Memory Alpha. Earlier today one for our pictures (MemoryAlpha:Image:United Federation of Planets logo.png) was vandalized. It was quickly reverted, however, some problems remaine. I use the picture in my signature, and naturally, it is on hundreds of talk pages. For some reason, all talk pages seem to be showing the vandalized version. Any help would be greatly, greatly apreciated. -- Jaz (please respond on my MA talk page) Jaz 01:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Sysop resignation
Hello Angela! I'm one of the Polish Nonsensopedia administrators and I would like to resign from this powers. Recently I can't find enough time to face the administrator's job and that's the reason of my dissmission. There is link to my profile. Best regards, Klapi 19:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Angela. Becouse of Sos absence and his slight contribute, we have decide to vote for his desysop. Here are voting results. Could you desysop him and Klapi? Sos probaply takes offence and he is not mean to come back, his e-mail is dead and there is no contact; also in other nonwiki project where Sos works with Zeartul. Szoferka 05:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I forgot about one thing. Ages ago Zeartul gaves a double sysop to Jaboja, one to Jaboja, and another one to JaBoJa (empty, no edits, I don't know who has register that accout). Usercounter is fake and shows one sysop more than we really have. Could you fix this? Szoferka 08:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I've de-adminned Sos and Klapi. JaBoJa doesn't exist, so isn't an admin. Non-existant users can't be accidentally made admins, so although it's in the log, it's not in the list of admins at . Angela (talk) 10:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I was only afraid about hidden and unplanned admin. :) Szoferka 21:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

SPAM users added
I just got my wiki created and already there are 28,695 registered users ! Obviously this is a SPAM bot or something. How to I delete all of them and prevent it from happening again?

Thanks.


 * You're probably looking at the users for all of Wikia. To see just the ones on an individual wiki, use Special:Activeusers instead. Angela (talk) 20:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Logo & Other Questions
How do I get a logo for myself? And is there any way we can access our wiki's files? As I'm trying to get the /Main_Page on another wiki...........


 * I'll reply on your new wiki at w:c:literature:User talk:King Kovifor. Angela (talk) 16:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to also change the logo, on the Chicago wiki. West Town 19:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


 * You can change the logo here by uploading a file on the right wiki called Wiki.png. There is a link to "upload a file" in the sidebar of every wiki if you are logged in. See Help:Improving your Wikia for more help. Angela (talk) 20:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand that, but I am not an administrator on the wikia and it requires that admins change the logo. The founder of the wikia probably has admin status but he only founded it and has done no edits as I have seen. So, may I ask you to change it to this when you have time? Thanks, West Town 17:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded the logo and given you admin rights. Angela (talk) 18:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you Angela, that will be very helpful! West Town 19:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

How?
How can i do to create a new wikia, i wrote the formulary but i haven´t my wikia.--$$\oplus$$El Fijosdalgo Jalajandro$$\oplus$$$$\oplus$$Discusión20px|Discusión $$\oplus$$ 21:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It can take a few days before a wiki is made. Your request is actually on a new system, so one of the community support staff will be able to make it for you, but all requests are reviewed, so it doesn't happen immediately. Angela (talk) 11:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * About how many days?Two, three...I was created the first page.--$$\oplus$$El Fijosdalgo Bloqueandro$$\oplus$$$$\oplus$$Discusión20px|Discusión $$\oplus$$ 12:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Since it's a new system, I can't be sure, but I expect it'll be done sometime today. If not, I'll do it myself tomorrow. You can use scratchpad: as a temporary space for your content until then. Angela (talk) 18:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

SW Fanon Sysops
We've had 3 vandal attacks in three days on the SW Fanon wiki and we need sysops. If you could check our sysops page and make some of those people sysops, that would be nice. MaulYoda

Real Names
Hello, Angela! Thanks for joining our discussion. It's always good to know that users like yourself and Sannse are paying attention to activity on all the various Wikias.

I have moved the discussion on real names from my talk page to the talk of a new page, policies and practices. I did this so that other users who want to put in their two cents could find the discussion in the logical place.

I wanted to know, though - is it considered poor form to move stuff around like this? (Before I moved it to my talk page, it was originally on the talk of the Main Page.) I realize that by moving it, I am deleting the edit history of this discussion. I feel, though, that this early on, Activism doesn't have a well-defined place for everything, so sometimes content and discussions have to be moved as new, appropriate pages are created. Well, I would like to hear what you think about the issue of moving stuff around, and if I should refrain from this in the future.


 * – Nicholas Barry 06:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's a problem to move discussions as long as you leave a link to where they've gone, especially in the early stages of a wiki where things don't yet have a correct place. Unlike articles, the edit history isn't all that important since everyone should be signing what they write anyway, so you still have attribution of who wrote what. Angela (talk) 08:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
