Save the World Wiki
Hi, it's Abab9. I have devoted my LIFE to saving earth. And my Wiki only has one person working with it: me. There is a play, a contest, and I will post so much more, but I really can't unless more people join. I think the more aware, the more years our beloved home will survive. I'm desparate for help. Also, I'd appreciate the help of making my Wiki BEAUTIFUL!

RE: Survivor Wiki Wallpaper and Logo
I've done everything that was required. The wiki underwent a major makeover, and the watermark and wallpaper were left iffy. Please help. Thank you! 202.92.128.26, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Avatar/Legend of Korra Wiki
Hi, I'm Annawantimes, the only Bureaucrat and 1 of 3 administrators on my wiki- The Avatar Legend of Korra Wiki. We are currently in the works of a huge construction project (completing all of the Avatar: The Last Airbender content.) We really would like some help with adding some flare to the main page. We really would like your help with adding a Character Portal, but we will take any suggestions you may have. Thank you, and believe me, your help will be dearly appreciated. Annawantimes 00:06, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Annawantimes. In order for Avatar/Legend of Korra Wiki to meet the best practices criteria, you'll need to add these uncategorized pages into one or more appropriate categories, as well as adding content to many of these "stubs" (short pages). Currently more than 100 articles have less than 200 bytes. The best practices calls for no more than 1/5 of total articles being stubs, which for your wiki is about 55. Once these two things have been taken care, come back and make a new request, and I'll be happy to help improve the look of the wiki. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  18:55, July 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the suggestions, but I did some reasearch and found a way to improve the look of the wiki by myself. I created a character portal, you can check it out on the main page of my wiki- http://www.avatarlegendofkorra.wikia.com/
 * Thanks, Annawantimes 23:15, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Beyblade Wiki
Hello I am EdBoy3 an admin of Beyblade Wiki. I would like to get a Content Team request. At Beyblade Wiki I want the search bar to be round, have the color of the background translucent so the background image can slighly appear and the clicking sound that happens when the mouse hovers over a file or when searching. Look at Family Guy Wiki for what I mean. I hope you can accept my request and take care. :) User talk:EdBoy3

Yeah, I'm from Beyblade Wiki too. Trellar said we'd be perfect candidates for this as there's a few things we aren't capable of doing but really want to. Ed has some good ideas that would make our wiki look and actually BE better. We're completely up for it and will be as obedient as possible! Feel free to contact us at either my Talk page or Ed's talk page. We'd be very grateful. Thank you :D Manaphy  12342  00:35, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

We would also like to have that clock feature that appears at the top of the Wiki Activity/Recent Changes button and allow more options to put in the wiki navigation, look at Fairly Odd Parents Wiki to see what I mean and we want that long grey line that appears at the top of a page to appear darker just like on Spongebob Wiki. We also want the auto-refresh button to appear on the Wiki Activity and the ability for users to use their facebook account to post comments on Blog Posts just like on Avatar Wiki. User talk:EdBoy3

Eden Eternal Wiki
Ok, well this sucks. I had a very descriptive thing of what we want, and chrome decided to bite me- *tantrum!*. Anyway, (I don't get my ice cream because of that tantrum, mommy is so mean)-all jokes aside, this is for the Eden Eternal Wiki. Here's the jist of it: we didn't decide on any major specifications, but we want the wiki to look good. (don't worry, I made sure we're qualified). I've decided on some minor specifications just to give you (people sounds rude, and guys sounds to masculine)...the content team some material to work with, that my fellow admins (newly appointed by me) have agreed with me on in the past. Hopefully later we may be able to change some of these specifications to allow for new ideas from my fellow sysops. Ok, onto the content stuff: some assistance with main page, increasing google ranking, and helping users navigate (last part basically goes with main page) is our basic "wants". For the main page, a blue (to go with the background) bubbly like table that contains all the page links on our current main page would be very helpeful, using whatever setup style you see fit. A custom Eden Eternal logo (based off of this), and a full sized background such as used on Pandora Hearts Wiki based on this, with that same scroll feature would be epic if it could be done. Can't specify on google, other than I'd like to beat the official wiki =P. Like I said before for the navigating part is basically the main page, unless the team (hah, I found something that fits other than "guys" and "people") can do something else relating to navigation I'm not aware of.

Ok that sums it up. Sorry this was so long, but thanks for reading it all, and for all the work this team does! Liosrakia 00:37, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

The World of Cars Online Wiki
Hi, Joeplay, this is actually the second time I made a request, so you might know me. I am an admin at the The World of Cars Online Wiki. Is it possible to make a template appear in every page in my wiki? The template is here - Template:PlayButton. It is supposed to be a yellow button written "PLAY" right near "Wiki Activity" button. It takes the user to this link - http://www.worldofcars.go.com/play/game.html - but it is not working for me. So is it possible for you to make the button work so when people click it, it will redirect them to the link. I tried doing it myself but it doesn't work. And can you make the template appear in every page?

site_anon_css not updating
Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to fix or work around the fact that the  style sheet does not seem to update promptly (whereas   does). It's a problem because anonymous users are currently unable to see the recent changes I made to Wikia.css of Sanctum Wiki. The same problem appears to occur on the Alien Swarm Wiki, so it probably exists on most or all of Wikia. Thanks. —Shidou T/C 00:34, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

The issue I described above appears to have been fixed now, but I'll be sure to contact the Community Support team if a similar problem occurs again.
