RuneScape Wiki Ad Dispute
Hello Angela. I'm from the RuneScape Wiki (http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) and am contacting you in regards to the dodgy ads which are appearing there. I'm requesting that you perhaps intervene or at least have a look for yourself. Shadowdancer 19:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I've commented about this on w:c:runescape:Talk:Main Page. Angela (talk)


 * Angela, this issue has not resolved. Can you follow up on asking Google or whoever to block the offending ads please?  Shadowdancer 15:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Wiki deletion
Hello Angela, is there a way to delete a wiki or nominate it for deletion? I run the Achaea wiki but since there is little activity and an official wiki has appeared it seems to be of little help. --Lilio 14:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * We don't currently have a good way of closing a wiki. I can add it to a list we're making of ones that might need closing, but for now, it's usually best to mark them as available for adoption instead. Angela (talk) 15:17, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, please add it to the list of wikis. Thank you. --Lilio 11:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Zlatibor Wiki again
Yes, I was editing some parts of the Media Wiki namespace before. I would like the title to be Encyclopaedia Zlatiborica instead of the current title Zlatibor. I saw sr-zb listed in my preferences, so I though that it was created (although not translated, of course). --Ђорђе Д. Божовић (разговор) 23:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Search_logo.png
I changed my Search_logo.png on the Halo Site but when you click on the link it takes you to the Wikia Home page. I noticed that on Wookieepedia when you click on their Search_logo.png it takes you to their Advanced Search Page. Is there any way to change Halo so that when you click the Search_logo.png it also goes to the advanced search page?

Thank you for your time. --Esemono 00:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Council Forum for PotC wiki
We are in desperate need of one of these, and we were wondering if you could help us out. Thank you! -Davy Jones1414

Talk pages of baned users on Nonsensopedia
Hello. Could you block writing on talk pages by blocked user on Nonsensopedia? We got a problem with spam and well, also trolling now. I believe it's only temporary (example). Thanks. Szoferka 08:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

RuneScapeWiki: vs RuneScape:
Over at the RuneScape Wiki, RuneScapeWiki: things have been switched with RuneScape:. This should not have happened. For example, RuneScapeWiki:About is now RuneScape:About, whereas it should be RuneScapeWiki:About, as it's a wiki thing. All RuneScapeWiki: pages are now RuneScape: pages, and I was wondering, is this reall correct? I don't think so. Could you say whether or not it is?--24.109.206.88 21:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikia Mentoring Project
Hi Angela: I'm working on creating a page for the Wikia Mentoring Project that we talked about at the conference. Can you take a look at it, and let me know what you think? I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts about it. Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 03:32, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Home wiki template broken
In the past I was happy to use on wikicities the Homewiki Template from the central Wikicity on my userpage. Now it is all Wikia and the template doesn't want to render anymore. Any idea for a fix on that? Dedalus 14:23, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Using instead of  seems to be working, so you could use that temporarily, or just copy the actual text from template:homewiki instead of using the template. Angela (talk) 05:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That doesn't seem to be working, see my user page on the Onderwijs Wikia. Copying text however, works fine, ok. Dedalus 10:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Inheritance Trilogy Wiki
Hi Angela! I am an active member of the Inheritance Trilogy Wiki. Currently, Amina skywalker is the only available admin and the founder/bureaucrat hasn't been seen since March. Because of that, I'm wondering if you could please make her into a bureaucrat and me into an admin? I believe that Kumarhk (founder) intended for Amina to be able to assign adminship per this message, and that Amina intended to make me an admin per this message. Please look into it and reply here (or here (Wikipedia) or e-mail me) whenever you get the chance. Thanks in advance for your time. :) G .He (Talk!) 17:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Cloak
Hello Angela, I'm Tompkins, you might know me, probably not. Anyway, I guess Some of my Uncyclopedian colleagues think I need an IRC cloak, whatever that is, and I was told to come to you for help. My name on IRC is Tompkins, although I sometimes go by Tmopkisn, if you do decide to give me one, I'd like the Wikia kind, since it's the closest to Uncyclopedia. You can contact me at either my Uncyclopedia talk page, or my Wikipedia one. Tmopkisn 07:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

What is Wikia?
Re: Your recent revert of my changes at Start a new Wikia.

You seem to be saying that Wikia is both an organization that hosts wikis and an individual wiki used by a particular group. I'm concerned about the lack of clarity that this brings. For example, on the main page you have the follwing statement in answer to the question, "What is Wikia":

"Wikia offers free MediaWiki hosting for your community to build a free content wiki-based website. Find out why you should use Wikia for your wiki and then request a new wiki or visit an existing one. Please contact us for more information."

That had seemed clear to me. However, you have other pages that call the individual wikis "Wikia." This seems to include both individual wikis and the plural form. Someone raised the question of what the plural of Wikia is at Talk:List of Wikia.

To my mind, this seems messy. I first noticed it when someone new began referring to the Ecovillage wiki as a "Wikia." That then raises the question: "What is a Wikia?" It was confusing to him and it is to me. Could we try to clarify this? I've raised the question at Talk:Featured Wikia. Michael 14:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Campaigns
Yeah, I see that now. Oh well. I'll do some specifying of categories (like Tab Templates and Navigation Templates). Jfingers88

Question
I accidentally made someone a sysop on my wiki (Ottawa), and now I don't know how to "de-sysop" him. Do you know how to "de-sysop" someone? Because it isn't in the list of special pages. --FreshFruitsRule 12:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Bureaucrats cannot desysop. Bureaucrat <-- note that Wikia does not have the makebot plugin or the rename extension, so bureaucrats here serve only one function: promotion of other users. If you need someone desysopped, contact a wikia staff to do it. --Splarka (talk) 21:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
