Welcome
Hello, I am a community Manager here at Wikia. Please add new messages to the bottom, thanks :)

If you're looking for help, you can leave a message for me here or visit our help page.

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Familypedia / "Genealogy"
Our community has been fairly small since its inception in 2006, but that may change. It's a popular market segment, as evidenced by competitor sites like ancestry.com that charge $24/month and advertise on Discovery and History channels. As far as I am concerned, their days are as numbered as those of Encyclopedia Britannica when Wikipedia began. Our recent efforts since last spring have been to make it easier for novices to enter family histories. Once that work is complete, I shall be importing large amounts of information from Wikipedia biographies via "pywikipedia" bots. We may get a good spike in activity after that is complete, but otoh it may flop entirely. Who knows- at least something will be learned about how not to apply Semantic wiki concepts on Wikipedia, commons and other wikis. I'm a retired software jock, kind of slogging through the technical stuff while raising my own family (we have 4 kids and are adopting 2 more from Africa). I personally am much less interested in the genealogy side of who begat whom, and more in getting contributors to recover stories about their ancestors. It gives more credit in history to individuals who made it, deconstructing the popular fantasy that history is about the dead white guys who through their singular genius caused everything to happen the way it did. It follows along the line that Zinn started in the 1980s with his series of books that began with "A People's History of the United States". Such fine grained history is material that does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, but each story is extremely notable for the micro audience of their descendants. Were it not for each of these forgotten ancestors, we would have not been born. Anyway, in a few months when everything is in place you may like to take a look at it.

I hope you enjoy your new position. Regards, 19:13, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Administrator rights
Hi, I'm looking for a way to get administrator rights for the Shield wiki but couldn't find a specific page that explained how to do it. I've been contributing to that wiki for a couple of months now and, even though only one other editor has stepped in, I'd like to keep on working on it and perhaps elevate it to the status of other more complete, more visited wikis. Let me know what's the process I should follow. Thanks. Thief12 16:43, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Just felt like adding that I'm a frequent contributor on the 24 Wiki as well, just in case you want to check my trajectory or something like that :-D Thief12 16:45, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the message Thief12, I have responded to your similar inquiry to community@wikia, so you should have a message about this. Thanks for all your great edits! Cheers Sarah (talk 20:26, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Avatar Wiki
Hi, I had 2 questions... first if you could erase http://jamescameronsavatar.wikia.com to pass the information to this new wiki http://avtr.wikia.com. And then I want to make a navbox but with a [hide] button. Could you help me? Thanks! --Matias arana 10 03:04, October 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * For the second part of that, you're thinking of collapsible tables, which require a few things. First, you need to add  to your MediaWiki:Common.js, then make a navbox (or use a pre-existing one) and give it a collapsible class ("toccolours collapsible collapsed" or "darktable collapsible collapsed" usually do the trick for me,) and make sure it defines a header (what is there when it's collapsed.) An example of all of this can be found at Avatar Wiki.  ~Joey~  ” ^Talk^ ” 03:15, October 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Very fast answer :) --Matias arana 10 03:22, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Matias arana 10: Were you requesting a name change from http://jamescameronsavatar.wikia.com to http://avtr.wikia.com? From what I have seen the James Cameron Avatar appears a lot more active than the Avtr wiki. Are you in touch with the other Admin at JamesCameronAvatar? Thanks! Sarah (talk 16:20, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, but Catherine already deleted jamescameronsavatar and sent the info to avtr. By the way I'm the creator of both and I didn't edited avtr, so jamescameronsavatar will be deleted. Thanks anyway :) Matias arana 10 12:12, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Good job!
Wow! You guys did a great job setting up wikis! Looks great! 23:26, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

RfA
As the most recent Staff editor of Central, could you please give Geek Admin rights, after his successful RfA? Cheers. :) --Thomas Rattim (talk) So much support, and a considerable edge of supports over opposes, is generally assumed to be consensus... The implication was, however, for my message to inform Wikia staff of the RfA's completion and to make a decision over whether they feel this to be consensus or not. --Thomas Rattim (talk)
 * It's not for you to decide whether it was successful. RFAs are decided by consensus, not plurality. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 20:10, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your messages and letting me know about the RfA. The vote seems rather close, and not a general consensus, so we will not be granting Admin rights on central at this time. Sarah (talk 22:28, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * To my knowledge, there have been much closer elections in the past.  How is this not consensus?  I know of one election that had only six votes!  This election had 59 votes, 34 for, a nine point lead.  I ask again, how is this not consensus?  The Almighty Ninja Talk 22:56, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Out of curiosity, was my vote back in '07 close too? After all, "only" 6 users supported me, while 34 users supported Supergeeky1. It saddens me that Wikia lets people who abuse their user rights not only keep their rights and continue abusing them, but also tell Wikia staff what you can/cannot/should/shouldn't do! That's quite something, I must say. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 23:00, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Sarah. I appreciate your opinion on this, and the vote is indeed fairly close (although a nine point lead is, in my opinion, a stretch).  However the consensus is still indeed in my favor.  Quite honestly, I've never seen as many people in support of a user on Wikia, and I believe that says all that needs to be said about this.  The opposition, while great in amount, did not provide any back-up to their claims involving me and for the most part, it's seemingly out of spite.  I've had an extraordinarily limited amount of contact with many of the users claiming I've made a series of wrongdoings, and even one opposing based solely on the fact that I "prank call people" and offend her religion.  That aside, as StarNinja99 and Jack pointed out, many users with only six or seven people supporting have been given sysop rights.  If that's a general consensus and 34 votes are not, then I don't know what is.  Additionally, I see absolutely nothing on the RfA page or otherwise stating it must be a general consensus.  Just a consensus.  Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.  Cheers! &mdash;  supergeeky1   \  m  /  (  Talk to the Geek  ) 23:04, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I'd also like to just add on, in regards to the support having nine more votes than the oppose, that percentage wise the support is 14% greater than the oppose. When you do the math, it's 57.6% to 42.4%. Considering there are no established guidelines that say you need to have 60% of the vote or 2/3 of the vote, that's a rather overwhelming number. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:12, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

The point is really moot when you consider that the candidate doesn't actually want the job for any productive purpose, by his own admission. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:06, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * The fact that Geeky himself said that to a joke, and I'm doubting if the quote is even legitimate, makes that rather interesting an accusation. Additionally, if you find it to be insulting for us to quote your users, I'd appreciate it if you didn't quote ours. Thank you. --Thomas Rattim (talk)


 * Thanks for the comments. As I stated prior, it does not appear that a consensus has been reached here, and I think many of your posts reaffirm that. A majority does not equal a consensus, especially one that is won by 14%. I understand that in many other cases there were only 6 votes more, but when this is 6 positive, to 0 or 1 negative, that is a much higher percentage of approval than we have here. I will be maintaining the decision that I posted early, which is to not grant further admin rights to supergeeky1 at this time. --Sarah (talk 16:20, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

That's obviously your perogative, but I would very strongly suggest that the Community Team come up with actual guidelines for future requests for adminship. It's not fair to users who are nominated for adminship to reach a very clear majority of nearly 58% only to have the Community Team tell them that a consensus hasn't been reached, despite the fact that there are no RfA guidelines. This is especially important considering how Wikia values the community, its decisions, and its opinions. Just a friendly suggestion. =) (I also just want to add that, in regards to the quote from Culator, it is in fact a legitimate quote, but when it was said in the channel I didn't take it as anything more than being a humorous comment.) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:59, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Calm down mate, just because he failed, once he takes aboard the things from the Oppose comments, tell him to try again later... That block log that they showed doesnt look too good either. If it was me, I would say the same as Sarah... It was a very active and close vote.. -- 18:54, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

I would've thought an appropriately placed =) would've told you that I'm nothing but calm. I'm just giving a tip for the future, which will be important if there's ever a close election like this again. =) Besides, I'm not beholden to any side of this feud between a select group of Darthipedians and Wookieepedians. I don't really know anything about it, nor do I care to know it. I'm just saying that in the interest of fairness for future RfAs, RfA guidelines really need to be established. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:52, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Sarah test wiki
What on earth is w:c:sarahtestwiki supposed to be?-- 21:01, November 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * A test wiki. -- 21:01, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but why was my page erected without warning?-- 21:21, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * A simple oversight. It would have been a better idea to omit the user talk namespace in the import. -- 21:23, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * How did you import everything from one Wiki from another? That erects double histories!-- 21:30, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * According to sannse, it was done with a script server-side. I wouldn't worry too much about a test wiki, though. -- 21:31, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * I won't worry.-- 21:32, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the confusion. It is just a test wiki I created so I can work on some of the help pages. Sarah (talk 21:42, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Just erect a hell of a userspace. By the way, pardon my rage and language earlier.-- 21:50, November 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * So every single person who ever posted on the main Wikia.com has gotten a message that they have new messages here, even though they don't? A bit odd.  Anyway, would it possible to create a wikia and duplicate everything, history and all, from the official Wikipedia?  Call it "Inclusionist version" where no articles are allowed to be deleted unless it is a hoax, spam, jibberish, or an attack page.  Or could you make a script that copies over everything ever deleted?  Have an administrator at Wikipedia use it to userfy every single deleted article there is, over here some place, and then people can go through and determine how much should've been saved(which is probably most of it).  As it is now you have gangs of evil deletionist thugs deleting best selling novels that don't get reviews, about 90% of every manga article there is since such things don't get reviews(some argue to delete things even if they know it has three volumes that sold over a hundred thousand copies each, since sales figures don't indicate notability according to their idiotic guidelines), and many other things that should not have been destroyed.  Or perhaps userfy it by category, letting people work from there.  Would that be possible?   D r e a m Focus  11:31, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt it. It would cause attribution to go to bogus accounts. What would happen then?-- 11:39, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * What happens now? Articles from the Wikipedia are copied over to many Wikis here already.  And you'd copy just the articles, not the user pages.  Wikipedia isn't done for the credit.   D r e a m Focus  11:43, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, you appear to have misunderstood me. If a user had an account there, but not here, then it would look like a non-existant user had edited the page according to article histories. That is pure misrepresentation.-- 11:50, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * FYI, all wikia.com wikis have a shared user database. So the article histories at the test wikis are all valid accounts. It is not misrepresentation at all. -- 18:43, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * An administrator over at the Wikipedia commented recently that legally if you copy something from the Wikipedia, you are suppose to copy the history as well, to credit who did what, most people not realizing that, and it not enforced. And I don't believe anyone is misrepresented at all.  Just have a note on each one, a phantom edit marker perhaps, saying "all edits before this point were done at the official Wikipedia, before article was copied over."   D r e a m Focus  12:03, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're going to copy an article over, it's best to do more than just say "all edits before this point were done at Wikipedia." You need a more proper way of attributing all of the authors than just saying it was written on Wikipedia. A number of wikis have a template that does just that, such as Template:Wikipedia on Wookieepedia. You'd put the template on the talk page and then say what the article was in the template so it can properly link to the authors, like so: . - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 18:43, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I meant after you copy over the entire edit history, then place a marker saying that all edits were done at the Wikipedia before that point marked, thus avoiding a problem mentioned above. The users who contributed may appear as red links here, but people will know who they are and where to find them, if there was anything to discuss with them or anyone actually cared.  D r e a m Focus  20:11, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not that they'll appear as red links. It's that they won't appear period. Wikia and Wikipedia do not have the same user database, so just because an account exists on Wikipedia doesn't mean it'll exist on Wikia. If you export an article on, say, Memory Alpha to Wookieepedia (don't know why you'd ever do that, but follow me here), the accounts will appear as red links, but those accounts will actually exist because Memory Alpha and Wookieepedia have the same user database. The same is not true for Wikia and Wikipedia. The accounts will be shown to be non-existent. I don't believe it'll even show a name with the edit, because that account would not exist. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:19, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

The relevant discussion that Dream is talking about is here. I like the idea a lot. Anno1404 18:17, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Random Survey Thing I Got
I don't really use help pages or ask wikia staffers for help. I got help from a few nice users when I was first starting out, now I'm the veteran user helping others. Not very helpful, I know :P Ghost sangheili 02:36, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Question about copying history from Wikipedia articles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export I followed the instructions, but can not limit how many histories I get from an article. The default setting at a thousand, which results in an article being far too large for my Wikia to import, it 24 megabytes in size! The special parameters aren't working, I unable to just grab 100 history edits instead. Is there a way to either make it export only 100, or to make Wikia import a larger file size? Either way would work. I'm trying to grab the history for Total Annihilation.  D r e a m Focus  18:09, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * "Other parameters of this interface, not available via this web form, are explained in Parameters to Special:Export."
 * Hi Dream Focus. You can get more revisions using the API, but it's not easy to do and not recommended if you need lots of different articles. I suggest instead that you export only the current revision and then add   to provide a link to the authors. Plesae leave me a message on my talk page if you need any more help with this.

About "Google Annonces" or "Google Adds"
Hello Sarah, Something " new " appears recently on the welcome page of my site "http://lyceepasteur.wikia.com".Now, even while I am fully registered, I have some " Google Adds " between my wikia-site tiltle and my own text.For the moment all other pages look as before, unchanged.I never received any information or warning prior such a main change project.Now I am quite affraid that wikia-staff will gradualy extend this ways to all pages of my wikia-site.Of course I understand pretty well that Wikia needs money, but why not having those Google Adds on the left margin, just under " Wikianswers " ? There, iIt will be perfectly seen and less harmfull for the main page presentation and content. Please could you help in re-considering that ? Best regards to you, Eric --Laerchisca 08:04, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello Eric, Thanks for your work here on Wikia. Part of Wikia's terms of use, is that we reserve the right to place advertisements on a wiki. If you do not like seeing them, you can go into your preferences and under the skin tab, deselect "show all advertisements" This is only effective for when you are signed in. All signed out users will see ads. Happy editing! Best, --Sarah (talk 17:10, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Creating collapsible tables
Hello Sarah, About the collapsible tables, I tried to do as you explain to Avatar but didn't understood how to add importScriptPage('ShowHide/code.js', 'dev'); to my MediaWiki:Common.js, could you tell me please ? Eric --Laerchisca 09:09, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Laerchisca, getting collapsible tables set-up on your wiki is relatively easy. First, go to MediaWiki:Common.js on your wiki (on the wiki you wish to have the tables on) and then edit the page (or create it if it doesn't exist yet) and add  to that page (this requires administrator privileges.) Save it, and clear your cache (instructions are found on the MediaWiki:Common.js page,) then go create the tables you want to collapse. To make an ordinairy table collapse, you have to make sure it defines a header (what would be shown when it is collapsed) and it needs to call on a collaspible class or id. For this part, there are lots of examples on the documentation. Hope this clears that up! Joey (talk) 06:56, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Joeyaa for the description here, very helpful! Laerchisca, let me know if you still need assistance. Cheers, --Sarah (talk 17:41, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Here or your talk page is great to chat on. I am working on a series of blog posts for our staff blog section here on central, and wanted to include One Tree Hill wiki in a post, since you are making great progress. If you could share details such as: start date, number of content pages, active participants, community projects/initiatives/styles, and any interesting facts, that would be great! Thanks for all your work here on Wikia! --Sarah (talk 21:22, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Hi Sarah, let me know if you get this, and if it is any good. Well, in our blog, we would like an introduction just explaining that we are gathering together all the information about the television show One Tree Hill and possibly list the actors and main story outline. We focus on everything to do with the show but as this is just a wikia that still needs alot of help, we are currently mainly focusing on writing up episode pages as well as character information pages. We believe people should help as we started the site pretty much from scratch and the two administrators involved would appreciate any help available and would be very happily welcomed. The site contains at current 318 articles and has recently celebrated it's 2nd birthday, however the site was took under new ownership when the current 2 administrators took over in May 2009. The site has begun to gain a few more users aswell as the two administrators, which can be found on the community menu. We began to administrate the site in summer 2009 and have advanced it much further than we originally believed we could and don't intend on stopping and we hope that any interested users will have a go at participating to our site. - hope this is alright for the blog :) Thank you sarah

Zeldapedia
Hey, thanks for fixing the B'crat issue we had on Zeldapedia. And not to hassle you, as its no rush, but just letting you know you forgot about UberPhoeb. So whenever you get the chance, if you could remove his too that would be great. Thanks! --EveryDayJoe45 21:57, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your rapid response. I just wanted to confirm that UberPhoeb was on the list because I saw there were some talk page discussions. Once this is worked out, I will make the necessary changes. Thanks for all your work! --Sarah (talk 22:00, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Well, UP was on today, commented on the SB and Zelda IRC, and even when we asked him about it he flat-out ignored us. The agreement was that all inactive admins loose their b'crat rights. He has been barely active, with the exception of message I gave him about his rights. If he feels that he will still need b'crat rights if he becomes active again, then he may ask us and we will have a private disscustion about it, and if we agree that he does then we will make an amendment so that he may get them back. Sincerely, -- C  2  / C C  23:18, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Knitting Wiki
Sarah, I saw your response on my talk page on the Knitting Wiki, and while I've been keeping busy doing some drastic housekeeping at the d20npcs wiki (for a potential merge with data from the dungeons wiki, if there is a need for a Knitting wiki, it would be good to revive it. I haven't done much looking to see if there are similar wikis already existing that could benefit from a wiki specifically about knitting, though my comment on the Community Portal there I still think is true; for a craft skill like knitting, something like a WikiBook might be more appropriate than a generic Wiki, since the content would likely be longer and more static, unless a group of people who create their own knitting patterns joined up and needed a way to nicely display their creations. -- MidnightLightning ☇(talk) 16:18, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Hello there.
Hello there Sarah. I am Blade bane from the Warhammer 40k fanon wiki, and I recently made an adoption request for our sister wiki, which can be found here. All the admins have been inactive for a matter of months, and I feel it to be my responsibility to clean up the site. I would normally never try to rush such a matter, however there is a hefty amount of spam, vandalism, ect, and it is becoming increasingly hard to keep a track of it all. If you could please just consider my request, it would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Blade bane.

Receiving admin rights only to design
Hello, I've noticed Wikia's rules for adoption are pretty strict, I was wondering if there was anyway to be appointed admin on an inactive wiki only to design it, and not have the responsibility of keeping it tidy. The wiki I'm interested in is the Lovecraft wiki. Needless to say, with a design in place, users would be more attracted to the wiki, and to editing it. Thank you Fingernails 02:25, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello, We generally give admin rights to users who want to become and stay more involved in a community. If you are only interested in design and not the community, then we generally would not give you rights. You may want to offer your design skills to one of the admins there (or someone who many want to apply for adoption) and work with them on the design. Thanks, --Sarah (talk 23:28, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

EvoWiki, request to adopt empty wiki
(Hi -- I'm just CCing this from the adoption request page...thanks! --Nick Matzke 20:43, January 4, 2010 (UTC) )

EvoWiki

Hi, several years ago I cofounded a (wikia-independent) wiki called EvoWiki, devoted to evolutionary biology and evolution education. It grew to several thousand pages, but then developed a database error that has never been fixed and is now defunct -- we can't raise the guy in England who was running it for us.

So, I figured I would start a new version on wikia. However, Evo Wiki is already taken -- created by Uberfuzzy on May 19, 2009 -- but there are no pages or activity on that wiki.

In lieu of EvoWiki, I have (just now) started EvvoWiki, but it would be nice to just have plain old EvoWiki if Uberfuzzy can be convinced to delete his EvoWiki, or make me the admin. We would be more likely to get wide participation (I am a member of the Panda's Thumb blog, the TalkOrigins.org archive, and NCSE, the major evolution education organizations/blogs/websites) if the somewhat familiar "EvoWiki" was used to kick it off.

Let me know here or at matzke@berkeley.edu. Thanks!

DreamWorks Animation Wiki
Hi Sarah, I was wondering about the adoption request for DreamWorks Animation Wiki by Karlamon9, the message he left is already 7 days old and there's no reply from you. I've worked with Karlamon shoulder-to-shoulder and have really improved the Ice Age Wiki, as it's likely that we don't get any more Ice Age films and we both like computer animated films I invited him to adopt the wiki as he really has done a great job and I'm not eligible as I founded a wiki on early december. We're trying to get this wiki back to life but without anyone there acting as an admin it's impossible to clean up spam pages. --SNA 06:18, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

plasniskpedia
Why lolazopedia deleted the article without any explanation?. Plasniskpedia humor is a wiki like Uncyclopedia. if we are going to censor articles we'll have to go somewhere else that there is freedom of expression. this article is not libelous.


 * You can check the IP of who sent you the message and the author of these images increases.

Slander is the false attribution to a person committing an act that the law qualifies as a crime, knowing that it does not exist or that the accused is not the one that committed and in this case is not so. otherwise believe that any complaint would lead to censure and delete our articles. do parodies of other wikis wikis is normal mood, as in Inclopedia. Uncyclopedia is in a category that could be libelous

Please help me
My user got blocked for no apparent reason on the UnMario Wiki! I didn't even do nothing! Can you please help me out? UnSecretAgentJonathon


 * Hello. Blocks of this sort are usually set by the community admins, and not by Wikia Staff. The name of the blocking admin should be on the block notice, and you may be able to contact them or another admin via the "email this user" feature on all user pages. To use this, you must be logged in and have verified your email address in your preferences.


 * You may also be able to contact the blocking admin by leaving a message on your user talk page. This is still editable for blocked users (on most wikis) and changes will usually be seen by the other contributors to the wiki. Your user talk page is found by following the "my talk" link at the top right of any page. If you continue to have a problem, email us at Special:Contact. Best, Sarah (talk 21:08, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't. The person who blocked me for no reason blocked all of my priviliges, even though I didn't do nothing on it! Seriously, check my user on the UnMarioWiki. I did nothing!

Reporting pages
Question, but are you able to remove inappropriate content on wikia pages?

There's a bit of a problem over here on the sppf wikia.

my user page that other people are editing �

a wiki article that someone is using to insult me on a MAJOR scale

My talk page on the sppf wikia has some offensive stuff at the bottom as well.

The wiki is about a popular forum, and I am a member of that forum. That is why members on the wikia keep trying to insult me. Do you think you could help me out? I've reported it several times to the wiki owner but he is ignoring my reports, so I thought it would be a good idea to come to you.


 * Hello, I undid some of the offensive cotent, and recommend you removing more. If you like, add in the details you want listed there, then let me know and I can protect your userpage, whcih will prevent folks from editing there. I would also recommend reading through this page on how to " Not feed the trolls". It provides some advice on dealing with problem users. Best, Sarah (talk 17:55, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

So, just ignore users like that, report them, and they'll eventually stop? And does "I recommend you removing more" mean to remove the offensive content on the other pages as well? OK. Thanks. I am quite new to the internet. I guess I'll get better as time goes on.

Content I want on the user page? Nothing, really. I can easily deal with a blank user page. I only joined wikia to contribute to the sppf wikia without being blocked. Shiny hunter Reece 20:16, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, yes ignoring folks like this actually does often lead to them getting tired of not hearing back from you. I know it can be tough to do, but its often the best method. If you are definite about a blank user page, I can do that for you. I would also recommend checking out our other wikis. There are thousands of wikis out there that would love help and not block a user who is activetly contributing good content. Best, Sarah (talk 19:30, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Yes I am definite about a blank user page. I don't really use my user page. I just put things on because I was bored. Shiny hunter Reece 16:25, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

UPDATE: This is still about the sppf wiki. Users are using pages about other members to post false information about me. The one doing it is a user called "Windmill". Here is the page that Windmill is using to post false info. Like I said, the wiki admin ignores my reports. I used a read receipt on a message on sppf, and he didn't even bother to open it. That was back in December, If I remember rightly.

So could you maybe do something about it please? Thanks. Shiny hunter Reece 17:47, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, I have deleted that page entirely, as well as left another message for TheRealCipher. Hopefully he will be able to start a wiki wide discussion about what is and isn't appropriate there. Best, Sarah (talk 18:00, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Nancy Drew wikia
Hello,

Thank you so much for the welcome letter for my contribution to the nancy drew wikia page. This wikia looks really run down, neglected, and abandoned. I was really wanted to help with creating the whole thing and getting it back on its feet, but i am extremely new to wikia editing, designing and all of that. Is there a page on the help wiki that i should check out, i was also wondering if there is anything that i would not be able to do without special status or something like that. (i don't even know if wikia's have special statuses.) I just really want to help this wikia become a central hub of information for nancy drew fans and a site that they can trust to have reliable facts.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
