Merger of PvX wiki with Guild Wiki
Several users, including myself have found that we cannot rate builds anymore due to the name change from (i use my name as example) Ikimono to PVX-Ikimono. This change has kept the profile in essence the same, but has causes some side effects. I would like to request that my profile name "PVX-Ikimono" be merged with my old profile name "Ikimono" in hopes that this will correct the merger issue. Thank you-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon 18:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous users posting illegal download links
An anonymous user has posted an illegal download link on the Windows 7 Wiki with this edit. Should I remove the link and should I warn the user? GT5162 18:11, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's up to you and any other editors on that wiki to remove any content that is not suitable - either things that you think are illegal, or anything that you would just rather not have there. Link spam from other sites is really something to watch out for - you need to think to think about whether the person is trying to improve your wiki, or whether they just want more links to their own website.

new namespace not working in zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com
Dear Angela, we discovered the talk page of "伪基音乐" is not working. For example, here is a test page 伪基音乐:首頁, and the corresponding talk page should be 伪基音乐 talk:首頁. However, the talk page seems to be handled as new article page, not a talk page. May you check the namespace settings? --Leeyc0 13:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fixed. There was a missing underscore in the namespace name in our settings. Angela (talk) 13:51, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. By the way, we need a new namespace called "协助" (meaning "Help"), the corresponding talk page shall be "协助 talk". --Leeyc0 16:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I need to check first whether that's going to cause any problems with the new help feature. Angela (talk) 21:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * We just discovered that there is already a namespace called "Help". Can you do it in this way:
 * The default name for the Help namespace shall be "协助:" (and the correponding talk page shall be "协助 talk:"
 * "Help:" and "Help talk:" being aliases, and "redirected" to "协助:" and "协助 talk:", much like the "Image:" and "File:" namespaces in Wikipedia.
 * --Leeyc0 13:46, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok. This will be done soon. Angela (talk) 22:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to change my Wiki's title and description, but I don't know how! Could you tell me that? Kubek15 Dyskusja 16:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

George Lopez Wiki
Hello, nice to meet you! I'm a relatively brand new user on George Lopez Wiki, and I've noticed the wiki is very small and in bad shape. There are no crats to grant sysop powers, so I was wondering how I could receive possible adminship, since I feel as though I have what it takes to work on the wiki and lead it. Thank you!

Users getting "offended"
Hi Angela,

I read over on a talk page, then later joined in a "discussion", that users are getting offended because another user had a blurb in their signature about their beliefs, and was getting threats to be banned from Wikia if he does not remove it. I say that "offended" is getting exagerrated, "spam" might cover it, but I just wanted to know if there was anything that you could do to help sort this out, and/or if there was a Wikia rule saying that expressing religions anywhere (for that matter) was considered as offensive content. I have a few other Christian wikian friends, and I just want to know so I can show them about this so they won't do it, either.

Thanks,

--JewntansOath My talk page / My contributions / Send me an email 02:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * There's no Wikia-wide rule for this, and what other users think is appropriate varies considerable depending on where it's done. Saying something in a signature is not the same as writing it on your userpage or in a userbox or writing an article about that on a relevant wiki. I suggest you talk to the people concerned if it is important to you. I hope you will be able to come to a consensus on what's good to have in a signature. Angela (talk) 06:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

thanks a lot!
wow that was fast thanks SO much!

Edit page script user for Valkyrie Movie Wikia
Hi about the script can you tell me what it does and make sure it makes minor edits and not major or huge edits. Thank you :) --Andrew Schlieffen 19:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It only makes edits that Wikia Staff have told it to make. Recently it has been adding a user page of another script so that people understand how to use it (see Forum:New features coming on Wednesday for details of that). Angela (talk) 05:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit count
Hey, I went to check my edit count on the Club Penguin Wiki a minute ago, and I had about 4,300 or something like that, and then I find out I only have 3,802! I've gone down about 600 edits! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? -Metalmanager


 * It could be caused by a couple of things. One is that a lot of deletions are happening. Another is that people are moving pages into the "Archive:" namespace. Anything in that namespace does not count towards your edit count -- that can be changed if that's what the community wants, and it means those pages will also show up in the default search as well.


 * Thanks! I've figured out that when I deleted my user page, it took away all the user page edits I did, but kept subpage edits in User category, and I had alot of user edits and trying to not have more than main, and they were over 1,000! So, I actually did myself quite a favour. Anyway, thanks for the help! -Metalmanager

Random Wiki's
Hi, I’ve been looking around random fairly inactive Wikis and finding nonsense vandal pages like this, what should to do to get rid of the ones I find? Show them to you? -- Climax  Void    ☭.
 * I've come across something similar, but different. This page was simply nonsense when I found it, and now it can't be deleted because there is no admin around to do the honors.  I was going to request adoption of the wiki, but founding another wiki is forcing me to wait on that. // masterConjurer  ( Talk ) _ 16:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * For now, only Wikia staff and Helpers can delete pages on all wikis. Most of the newer English-language wikis will have a delete template, so you can replace the page's content with  . This means other won't see the content and if the wiki later gets admins, they can easily find those pages that need deleting. If it's important to delete it quicker, then you can drop a note to staff using special:contact. You could also check the wiki's Special:ListUsers to see how long it is since the admins last logged in. If it's not too long, you could try emailing them using the special:emailuser link on their user page, and see if they'll come back and deal with it. Angela (talk) 16:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
