I'm unable to contribute
Hi, I'm already registered with Wikia but I can't create a new article. I'll put everything in and then when I click Save, it just brings me to a blank "Special Page" called "Create Article". Is there a reason behind this?

Answer
 * If you are using the new wiki editor, you may not. It may be a glitch. Email wikia and they might be able to sort it out.

Follow up question:
 * I have been editing wikia since October and have over 4000 edits on several wikias. I am still unable to edit any of these help pages on this wiki, which is incredibly frustrating. Why, and how can I fix this? Anno1404 01:34, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * My user rights are: Autoconfirmed users, Users according to my preferences page, and I still cannot edit here.
 * Help:User_access_levels states:
 * "Anyone can read the wiki as well as create new pages and edit unprotected pages, including users without a user account."
 * Are all of the article pages on this wiki protected now?
 * When I attempt to edit these help pages, I get this message:
 * Please note: The Help namespace is semi-protected due to Shared Help.
 * You do not have permission to edit pages in the Help namespace.

Inter-subpage linking
I'm creating a template/set of templates - We have 3 similar but very separate pages associated with each article. They are:


 * Main
 * Main/Subpage1
 * Main/Subpage2

The template(s) sit at the top of each page and display links to the different pages on the same subject:


 * Main-to-subpage links are easy
 * Subpage-to-main links I can do (a link to "../")


 * Subpage-subpage links... I can't figure that one out. Can you suggest anything?

Thanks!

 * Whoops - wasn't as difficult as I thought - link to ../subpage1 will do it. Simples!

Search Works How?
Forgive me, I don't get the search function. I can make a search box, or use the default one, but it never seems to find anything, even text I know is present. Help.Alexander Baker 23:58, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

dropdown box
how do you make the "show" or "hide" for drop down box beside the word instead of below. I tried making the content box and the show/hide button is shown below instead of beside. Anyone can explain why ? Thanks in advance.--JackZ 08:53, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Looking for egipcian gods
Hello, i'm from Portugal and i'm looking for the 3 egipcian gods.I'd like to buy them for a good price

unable to edit main space pages again
this is really ridiculous, I cannot edit main space pages again. I was supposedly okay-ed a while ago. With a confirmation of my e-mail, the edits I have, and the amount of time I have edited.

there are only 351 pages in this wiki, which can easily be monitored by the community without blocking most good faith editors. Anno1404 14:41, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can edit the pages again. sigh. Anno1404 15:50, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Help Index
I think it might be very HELPFUL if the help index is listed in the front help page instead of being listed in tiny letters on the bottom of the help sub-pages. This will insure that new users can quickly find the help they are seeking instead of pressing different buttons hoping to find the right right subject and wasting time. It's not a hard thing to do and will save time and effort.  Talk 19:42, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't mind the tiny letters, I just want a link to Help:Index from the first help page instead of having to click one of the buttons first. Duskey ( talk ) 20:33, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

A wikia alerts feed?
I just got a notice pushed to my talk page about about some server maintenance. I dismissed it, and now I want to see it again. Where is it? Is there a Wikia news alert feed somewhere? This seems like something that should be easily findable from help.wikia.com or community.wikia.com, but I'm unable to find it. --GrantB 15:11, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Userbox Problem!
I need a HELP! on my page at http://fairlyoddparents.wikia.com/wiki/User:Fafa123, I didn't find the userbox that i could make. what should i do? and how do i make userboxes? --Fafa123 19:59, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a question for your Wiki's admins, not here. Anyway, I think you want to use the Template:Userbox that's on your wiki.  If you don't know how to use templates, then you need to spend time reading some Wiki how-to docs. --GrantB 20:10, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

tiny typo
In the box that is at the bottom of the standard Help page, a caption for a large button reads "Dig deeper in to wiki editing" and "in to" should be "into". Thumlyly 9/28/10
