Theyserved Wikia
I created this wikia sometime ago, having had an interest in the subject for a number of years. The wiki's (potentially unwieldy :-o) mixture of history and genealogy could attract editors interested in those fields.

It's still very much in an embryonic stage of development - I've been considering broadening the wikia's scope to include entire units - and I'm presently the only active contributor. The main page is in desperate need of improvement, as, at present, the content isn't particularly accessible, nor is the site navigable. I must admit that I'mm not entirely certain that the wikia fully satisfies the stipulated criteria, but will address any failing identified. Cheers, Solaran87a (talk) 23:10, September 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Solaran. The wiki does indeed meet the criteria, so I added TheyServed Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  19:09, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

My Bride is a Mermaid Wiki
I would like to request a new background and logo for the My Bride is a Mermaid Wiki. Thanks. Aassdddai  talk  10:14, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Digimon Universe - logo
Wiki in question is here. I would like to request both new logo for Oasis/Monobook and new background.

New logo should have the same image of Digivice at the left (image). Coloration should remain similiar. The word "Digimon" may look similiar to typical Digimon logo (see here). "Universe" word might look like dot matrix or something like that (bacause the digital theme of the franchise). This is for defalt skin. Monobook logo is. Digivice image needs to be smoother and have the same logotext as new, future Oasis logo.

New background should also be seamless motherboard-like circuit board with similiar coloration like current one, but more smoother. And please do not add the "hole" between left and right side like in many Oasis bg's, because I want to add it to Monobook too. It could be something like this but with the current colors. I browsed the net, but I haven't found similiar graphic with the free license (the one in example isn't free so I cannot use it). Franchise is about digital lifeforms, that is why I have chose that background theme. I think I met criteria for requesting. Also, if you could upload new logo and bg here - I would be able to suggest changes and improvements before adding it to my wiki. Thank you, Final Cannon   Dyskusja  19:07, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Edit: I have got a new background so only logo is needed. Final Cannon   Dyskusja  18:15, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

New Background
The Ratchet & Clank wiki could do with a new background. I believe we meet every criteria (one page may not be categorized, seems to be a technical/cache issue - page has multiple category tags). Our current theme doesn't look great with the new Wikia grid design, and also it's a bit outdated. The only real request I'd have for the background is that it include both Ratchet and Clank in the background in someway. Thanks, --Hunterj | My talk 19:38, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've put a new skin in for now, which works with the new design. However I think we'd still be interested in a more appealing skin. --Hunterj | My talk 13:15, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Monsuno Wiki
Hello, I am Abce2, the sole active crat on the Monsuno Wiki, http://monsuno.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity, and I would like to request help with two things.

1. Fixing up the top of the background from the Oct. 3rd update. There's probably an easy way to fix this and I just haven't seen it, if so, apologies.

2. A new logo (wordmark) with a picture of either http://monsuno.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Lock or http://monsuno.wikia.com/wiki/Lock_2.0.

The Manteler Universe Wiki
Hello. I would like to request a content change, to add a template similar to Wookieepedia's "Appearance" template, where characters, locations, vehicles and so on can be listed in alphabetical order in an "open-and-close" template on a television episode or novel page. Maybe not totally similar, but with its own unique colour and style, which makes it different from that of Wookieepedia's.

I have made certain that the wiki meets the standard of your requirements and I am the creator and head admin of the wiki. I am also quite new to the template creating format of the wiki-style and don't quite understand the codes of creating hideable infoboxes and so on.

I appreciate any support given. Thank you. Cyruptsaram (talk) 12:48, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

 * I see that the admin who made the request (Benjaminthewill123123) is currently blocked at Just Write Wiki. This does not meet one of the requirements on the best practices criteria, specifically "The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals." Additionally, there are a few uncategorized pages and too many "stubs." When the wiki meets all of the requirements, come back and make a new request, and I'll be happy to help.

Green Lantern: The Animated Series Wiki
Hello, the Green Lantern The Animated Series Wiki needs help in two fields. Both visually and community wise. A plan for how we should have the categories would be helpful, and new wordmark and background would also help it look better. I tried my best to make the current background, but I just don't like it much. The other Admins don't have experience in much fields to help the wiki grow. One admin is inactive most of the time and the other is too immature (and very inexperienced) for me to talk to and discuss about wiki plans. A plan on good policies for the wiki is a must right now. It seems as though everyone doesn't even follow the current policies. I just went around and fixed up pages, added categories and etc. A helpful hand would be very appreciated. Here's the link. -- 21:11, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
