Religion
allright. I will move all of my religous content into the religion area if you tell me how to move it.Tyluthan 22:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

81.77.17.119
I've had to revert a couple javascript vandalisms done by this IP so far. Once on theDemocracy wiki, and again on the Email wiki. And I think Mindspillage had to revert the same thing earlier before I could figure out how to get around it. The javascript creates a message box claiming that Democracy is Gay. Having caught it on a second wiki, I'm thinking it might be worth checking on where else the IP has struck.--Kirk 00:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting this. The only wiki he still had unreverted edits on was dragonball. Angela (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

OSSwiki Namespaces
Hi, could you please change the project namespace of both de.oss and oss to OSSwiki for a consistent look. The current namespace for de.oss (Free and Open Source Software Wiki) is a little too long. -- Muffin 09:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Addition: Having an extra Glossary(en) / Glossar(de) namespace for explaining technical terms like FTP might also be useful. -- Muffin 15:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll reply at w:c:de.oss:Benutzer Diskussion:Muffin. Angela (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

News box
Hey. I've translated MediaWiki:News box into Polish, but the Polish version it's viewable only here and on pages where default langauge is not Polish. On all wikis in Polish newsbox is still in English. Do you know what's wrong? Szoferka 03:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll have a look later today. Last time this happened it was just a caching issue and it started working by itself after a few hours, so maybe that'll happen again. Angela (talk) 03:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not cache, I've transalted it a 12 day ago and still nothing. Szoferka 03:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. I've reopened 161. Angela (talk) 02:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Bureaucrat at Stargate Wikia
Hi Angela! I'm an admin at the Stargate Wikia and wants to make Marco Polo an admin as well. He has earned it, but somehow I don't have the priviligies to make him an admin. Since the "leader" of Stargate Wikia is nowhere to be seen, I wonder if you could make me a bureaucrat so that I can make Marco Polo an admin? Thanks in advance for anything you can help me out with. All blessings! Peter R 09:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC) (Answer at my Stargate talk page)
 * Hey Angela, thanks for helping out by setting Peter R's status to beaurocrat. However, Peter said he would be on vacation and I don't think he'll be around for a while. So can you sysop me directly? —Marco Polo 20:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure. I'll do that now. Angela (talk) 01:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Shorthand subdomain
How can I create a shorthand subdomain for stargate.wikia.com like sg.wikia.com? I know it can be done, because w:c:ff redirects to w:c:frequentflier.


 * ff only redirects because the wiki was originally at ff but later moved to frequentflier (ff should actually have been reserved for a wiki in Fula). We usually try to avoid using language codes as the subdomain since we're saving those to be translations for the Central Wikia. For example, the Polish Wikia base is pl.wikia.com. It's possible we'll want the Sango version at sg.wikia.com one day. Also, redirects are only added when necessary (like when a wiki has moved) and not just to make a shorter URL since it can be confusing both for readers and search engines to have multiple locations for the wiki. Angela (talk) 01:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Image Uploading
Hello Blipo. This is the Central Wikia, so I don't think images like Image:Gather.png are relevant here. Did you mean to upload these to a different wiki? Perhaps you could find where you're meant to be from the List of Wikia. Let me know if you need any help. Angela (talk) 05:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well damn. I don't know what I'm doing here! My friends said, "make a wiki for us!" So I did. I have no idea what I'm doing; I found an image upload function and uploaded my images. Could you explain what I did wrong, and what I should do? I made a wiki page on the Scratchpad, |here.

How do you use in Wikia?
I am customizing my wiki and seem to have hit a wall when I try to add the add character box on the bottom of Wikipedia's edit page to mine by copying MediaWiki:Edittools from Wikipedia to my wiki. The edit box uses scriptlets embedded using a  This confirms that without special provision, the only extensions allowed are: 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', and 'ogg'. It also mentions php coding, so I know that only people with access to the database, like [ staff], can do the necessary adjustments. What do you think? —Marco Polo 12:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I've replied at D'ni. Angela (talk) 12:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, the site is very old and in at least GDFL, if not PD. But I guess it would just be best if I linked to the site instead of uploading it myself. Thanks! —Marco Polo 13:01, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Legal Terms
Angela, I'm from SUWiki where you contacted me about chaging the license. THANK YOU THANK YOU, I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm trying hard. However, I don't understand quite what I need to do. Lets say I want all text, ideas, images/files, to be freely distributable and modifiable. Is that adviseable? If that is ok, how would I write the license to be legally accurate? Do I just put in the words "Free Content" with a link to the freecontent definition site you gave me? Any help would be great, as I'm pretty clueless with legal terms. Chris Fullmer

Admin question for Halo
Hi Angela! I'm just wondering how to change the logo for the Halo wikia? Do you have to be admin to do this? If so who is the admin? Thanks for your time. Esemono 15:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

The House of Fanon
In the last two months Ive been here at this Wiki the election for administrators has not stopped. And yet we have a war, the Vandal War going on right behind us. We cant entrust simple users to take out vandals, what if they just want glory and fame. It could be them. Than the administrators, what if they don't like eachother or dont work together or if theyre power hungry vandals than what? We need a goverment not individual governors. The goverment is called the House of Fanon representide by two partys, the Typhillian Council and the Fanon Council. We meet their, take opinions from users and other stuff to make this community better.- Darth Vacatour
 * I disagree with Vacatour, we do need admins. Otherwise the wiki will just collapse from Vandal attacks. If the two "houses" disagree then we'll see and end to the SWF wiki. Admins should stay. &mdash; Jasca Ducato

Thats why users and members of the council will bring us together. Administrators disagree but find ways to work together, so can we.
 * You've basically just proven my point. Why bother changing just for one wiki. it should stay as it is. But its up to Angela and co. &mdash; Jasca Ducato

As you probably know, some users are trying to organize a government on SW Fanon Wiki to replace admins. Not that I speak for the whole Wiki but I'm just saying that if the House of Fanon is approved, when we finally get admins they'll be good for nothing, so says what the house is saying. Anyway, it's your descision, the house right now or admins later. Not trying to be rude or put pressure on you. MaulYoda

Apologizing for Prop 270
I have had a change of heart. Proposition 270 is no longer in effect and administrators will stay. However The House of Fanon will stay and work as a sub goverment beneath the administrators. Hopefully we can also work with The Fanon Council. Sincerly apologizing, DV

I say get rid of the whole thing and keep the fanon council until we get admins, which is going to be a while. But it's your call. MaulYoda

When I'll blog about the Campaigns Wikia
Hi Angela! I'll gladly blog about this place once I figure out what its character is going to be. I want to make sure there will be healthy discussion rather than violent deletion of opposing viewpoints.

Blogging about Campaigns Wikia
Angela, thanks for the prompt welcome to the site.

I've now added a link to Campaigns Wikia to the top of the Start Page of the PDParty.us wiki, and put a new article about this effort on my blog. I'm very excited by what could come from this, and I plan to do whatever I can to make it work.
