I need big help!Someone hacked into my account! Can you help?Reviewportal77 17:36, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * It appears you have control of your account right now. Why don't you just change your e-mail and password yourself and call it a day...you don't need staff help to do that. -- 17:38, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Help Needed
Hello, I am Airzel-of-haos, an Administrator from the Bakugan Wikia, and we have a problem. There is a user whom has been creating spam pages that we have repeatedly told him to not make, and when we try to block him, so of my colleagues have gotten a virus, as well as the fact that we cannot block him because when we do, it just sends us back to the Block form. Please help us, it would be greatly appreciated. Ten scy  the  19:08, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Unblock
Can you unblock me on the Pugs club penguin fanon wiki ? . I only made a copyrights template and did nothing wrong. Happy65


 * Unblocked! Best of luck with the wiki! Let me know if you'd like admin access there again, too. Pug is gone. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:35, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. When I return to the wiki from my break, I will ask for rights back . The reason Im on break is that i've got a lot of wikis to take care of like the Club Penguin Wiki ( Rollback ) and Soccer Wiki ( Admin and Bureaucrat ) . Happy65

The utility of the redlinked category (a very late comment)
Commenting has apparently closed on the thread in which the changes to categories was announced. It's taken me this long just to find the argument in favor of making the changes. I hope you don't mind, therefore, if I leave my comments here on your talk page, cause I can't post within the discussion proper.

You make the request that readers
 * ". . . consider this: if a category is applied to 50 pages, isn't it considered "created" at that point? The category page certainly has content: a list of 50 links."
 * No offense, but that's absolute nonsense. A category's prime function isn't to actually contain pages. I know that sounds crazy at first, but hold on.  A category's function is to create the ability for pages to be held in an orderly fashion.  A category's main job is to be a place where pages are held.  And a place is not a place unless it can be located on a map.   A category which is unconnected to other categories — that is a category not on the map, or as MediaWiki calls it, the category tree — is worse than useless.  It's a black hole of information.  If you try to use DPL to access an un-created category, it'll work to a degree, but not always as you expect.  You also run into problems with some advanced parser coding if you're trying to work on un-created categories.  Moreover, you can't find an un-created category, except by going to a page on which the category has been placed or by directly entering its name — completely properly spelled and capitalised, mind — in the search engine.


 * Thus, a category is not even theoretically created by the addition of pages, any more than a city is created by drawing up some blueprints. Yes, there's "content" in the blueprint, but it's not like you can drive your kid to school on the streets in the drawing.  Likewise, a category is only created when it's attached to to the categorical infrastructure — because it's job is to be a place, not to be a list.  The list is a by-product of being a place, in the same way that a list of names in a phone book validates that a place is "real".


 * Were I trying to improve categorical utility, I'd turn off the ability for this list to form on any category that's not been properly created. That way, there would be no visible content on an un-created category, just as there is no content on an un-created page in any other namespace.  Hence people would have an incentive to properly create the category.  No creation, no list.


 * You also say,
 * "A redlink means that a page has no content -- that clicking on it will take you somewhere that doesn't exist. Categories that have articles associated with them do have content worth viewing, though, so they do exist. If they haven't been incorporated into the master organizational structure of the wiki yet, that's a separate issue, and it's what maintenance tools like Special:WantedCategories are for."
 * Again, I couldn't disagree more. A category that is redlinked by definition doesn't exist.  The fact that pages may be linked to it doesn't change that.  To reiterate the above, a place isn't a place unless it can be located on a map.  The notion of incorporation into the master organisational structure of the wiki is not at all a separate issue.  It's the whole ball game.  You seem to be thinking of a category as a page of information which has "content" in the way that a page in ns:0 has "content".  It's not at all the same, though.  The "content" of the category is its relationship to other categories and the ability to manipulate it and the pages attached to it.  Redlinked categories offer very limited manipulation opportunities and so, for all practical purposes they do not exist.  Red, as you point out, is the traditional Wikia color for something which doesn't exist, so it remains appropriate to use it for categories which have not been formally created.


 * Your mention of special:WantedCategories is, well, funny. WC doesn't update often enough to be useful to people who are actually trying to police and maintain complicated category structures.  What makes it amusing, though, is that it contains evidence of the negative impact of this change upon wiki maintenance.  At tardis, for the first six months of this year, we averaged no more than 10 wanted categories — most of them blatantly frivolous or the temporary result of deleting a category.  Since the change, the number of WantedCategories has skyrocketed.  Now we're at 70+.  And they're, for the most part, reasonable new categories that fit the syntactical pattern of existing categories.  Why? Because people don't know they're creating a category that doesn't exist.  Even I sometimes walk away from a page thinking I've added a perfectly valid category these days, only to find out later that it's not.  [Only just a few minutes ago, in fact, did I realise that w:c:Category:Help didn't exist!]  The only way to make sure you're not adding a bum category is to physically visit it.  We shouldn't have to click on a category after adding it to a page just to check and see if the category is real.

You also say
 * "It allows readers (you know, the people you're building the wiki for) to see what they expect to see when they click on a category link: a list of pages that use that category. In the old system, they were launched into an editing page, which made absolutely no sense whatsoever"
 * And here I get you, to a point. This is a very tricky thing, because we do need to balance the needs of the user versus the needs of the editor.  Yes, we are ultimately building all this for non-editors to read.  On the other hand, readers aren't just expecting a list.  They are expecting the ability to navigate forward and back from that category.  If they've taken an interest in the category link at all, it means they want to navigate categories. If it's an un-created category, they can't do that.  Yes they can look at a list of apple trees, for instance, but they can't go on from there to other fruit-bearing trees.


 * Again, a category is not about the list. It's about the relationship between that category and its parents and children.  It's about geography and navigation.


 * You say it makes no sense whatsoever to get thrown into a editing page, and I'd completely agree with that. That's why we changed the message at MediaWiki:Newarticletext.  We went to great pains at tardis to make sure that people were never confused about what they were doing.  So there is a nice little message, w:c:tardis:Template:newcategorytext, which used to pop up when people clicked on a redlinked category.  It's completely wiki-novice friendly, and it's styled for our wiki.


 * For precisely the reason of reader-friendliness that you cited, we made sure that every namespace had its own newarticletext message. And yet Wikia have gone and basically disabled access to our very thoughtful and deliberate new category page.


 * Now readers just get this unbelievably ugly, terse message, "This page needs content. You can help by adding a sentence or a photo!"  Our readers are no longer even told they're on a category page by this message. (Well, technically, if they look under the page name, they can see they're on a category page, but it's not nearly as clear as on our wiki's new category page text.) It makes categories seem like any other page — and they're not.    Seriously, it's so frustrating to have a simplified, ugly message overriding our own custom message, which was of benefit to both readers and editors alike.

Finally, you say
 * "And (b) if you misspell something, you won't see it right away... but auto-suggest has been making life better in that department for awhile now."
 * Oh, my sweet Lord. What absolute disaster this single sentence contains for our wiki.  Please, before you extoll the virtues of auto-suggest — which are indeed considerable — try working on a wiki where the subject is British, but a lot of the editors are American, Canadian and Australian. Try working at a place where there are regular disputes about which words in a category get capitalised, and which don't.


 * At tardis, it absolutely, vitally, integrally matters that the category is category:Comic colourists, not category:Comic colorists. Or that it's category:Virgin Missing Adventures novels, not category:Virgin Missing Adventures Novels.  Or, the big daddy, category:The Doctor's TARDIS, not category:The Doctor's Tardis. Spelling is so vital to us that we actually have a spelling policy — which probably is quite unusual for Wikia wikis.  Indeed I've had to make multiple category moves simply on the basis that the spelling offended our spelling policy.  For instance, there were many categories which used the word "organization", spelled the American way.  I had to change them to " organisation", spelled in compliance with our spelling policy.  Now, Wikia's come along to make it easier than ever to allow for all those "organization" cats to come back, solely because our American friends aren't seeing the redlink that makes them query their spelling.


 * Autosuggest is fine when you're adding a category without editing the page proper. I love the Wikia skin convenience of being able to hit that little "add category" button and to have that nice, quick little menu of possible categories pop right up for me.


 * But, imagine working on a wiki where people don't always use Wikia skin — even though you've taken the effort to make your Monobook logo to say — in bold letters — "Switch to the Wikia skin". There is no category add button in MonoBook, so you have to enter it manually. And although there is autosuggest with manual entry, a lot of people type faster than in-line autosuggest works.  And even amongst our Wikia skin users, many don't regularly wait to added the categories after they create a page.  They type in the categories manually, again defeating the in-line auto-suggest.


 * My point is that it's simple to defeat auto-suggest, even if you like it and would prefer to use it. And on a wiki like ours, where spelling and capitalisation are constantly at issue, it is a nightmare that redlinked categories are now blue.  It's not just "inconvenient", it's not just that we're being forced to "adjust the way [we] do things a bit".  It's an absolute disaster.

While I thank the dev team for at least returning redlinks when we make an inline link to an un-created page, and I also thank them for making it possible to make a change to personal CSS, I have to say that it's not enough. The very people who need to see red-links most are those people who wouldn't know how to change their personal CSS. And the CSS won't stop new category pages from bypassing the text demanded by w:c:tardis:MediaWiki:Newarticletext.

I completely reject the notion that average readers who are used to seeing redlinks within the body of articles will be confused when they see and click on a redlink in a category section.

Yes, we should never forget our readers. Yes, we should alter the messages seen when they click on a redlink, so that they understand what's going on. But we shouldn't believe them such total idiots that they won't understand what a redlink means — unless we're prepared to remove redlinks altogether, from every aspect of the wiki.

I therefore request that this entire bluelink disaster be reversed. There are other, much simpler ways of making sure readers aren't confused. Why not just make a default, but overridable through MediaWiki:Newarticletext, message that appears on every new category page? That seems to be the reason that this change was made. You want non-editing users to understand what's going on. So take the time to include a default message to them, and be done with it.

All in the world you guys are trying to say with this redlink/bluelink move is:


 * This category page is still under construction. You won't be able to navigate from this category to another one, like you can on most category pages.


 * If pages have already been put into this category, however, they will appear below.


 * If you'd like to help edit this category — primarily by connecting it to another category — you can do so in the editing area below.

As far as I can tell, that's all you guys really are trying to do with this move. So just say it in a few lines of text rather than completely changing the definition and functionality of a category page? 21:04:17 Fri 26 Aug 2011
 * p.s. I apologise in advance if this comes across as an attack upon you personally. I am of course mindful of the adage, "Don't shoot the messenger." "You" here generally means the collective entity that is Wikia.


 * Very impressive writeup CzechOut. I agree wholeheartedly and hope that it's heard/read and not simply tl;dr'd. This, in essence, is what the rest of us have stressed since the change, but in a more complete manner. Rappy 21:36, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking the time to write this out, CzechOut, and I appreciate how strongly you care about this issue. It's true that I'm just the messenger -- not at all a decision-maker on this matter -- so I've passed your writing forward to the folks who made this choice, and who continue to improve related features at Wikia. I know they have some different perspectives (and different use cases) regarding some of the issues you raised here, though, so I hope you'll be willing to work with the situation regardless of how it plays out. Thanks again.  --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  21:52, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I very much agree with Czechout's post, and hope the staff will consider changing their mind on this, or engage us in the debate of why they're not changing their mind. I think the change is no different to removing all redlinks, with the justification that "a page with a title and links to it has some content, so shouldn't be red".
 * Also, just as a side note, I think if you were going to get rid of any redlinks on wikia, the ones to do would be the ones for users who haven't made a userpage. On many wikis the automatic userpage-creator thing doesn't work, and seeing a load of redlinks for usernames on recentchanges or page history is irrelevant as to who has filled out a userpage. But, I don't want to encourage more redlink removal, I'd much rather fix the current situation than any further changes! Just thought I'd mention it--Acer4666 09:10, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

 * "hope the staff will consider changing their mind on this, or engage us in the debate of why they're not changing their mind" - Sarah, I hope you can see that the phrase "fair points, thanks" in response to the above sentence is a complete slap in the face to someone attempting intelligent debate about this. I have heard absolutely zero reasoning, logic, or discussion from any staff member about this issue recently, and it is still a massive problem. I'm not going to forget about it because you keep ignoring it and dodging any questions about it.--Acer4666 02:52, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Userpagetemplate
Hi, just wanted to nudge you about your Wikia: userpagetemplate, as it does define the background colour but not text colour. This leads to light text in light background in wikis that has light text colour (usually dark-themed wikis). (: –Tm_T (Talk) 23:22, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ban
Hi, this is Honeyfur again. One of my users, Werebereus, was recently banned for harassing other users. I can assure you that he's done nothing of the sort. His personality sometimes comes across as strong, but he hasn't abused anything. I'd like to request that you unban him, please. -- Honeyfur Hakuna Matata 01:24, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Honeyfur, Werebereus evaded a ban by following a user to other wikis, and demanding that he continue arguing with him in spaces where he couldn't be blocked. This was excessive, and because it brought a dispute to wikis that weren't involved in the matter, it is grounds for being removed from Wikia. If Werebereus would like to explain the situation further, he can reach us at Special:Contact. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:59, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi Dynovan, sorry, Top Wikis has been replaced by the new favorite wikis section. If it's not working the way you'd like, can you tell me why? (And you can archive talk by creating a subpage and copying content over. See? I just did it.) --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:48, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Oh. It is working, I just was wondering if I could get the old one back. Thinking about it, how do I add more wikis to it? Dynovan | Let's Talk 08:32, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's a limit of four right now, but i'll let our development team know you're interested in being able to display more. Is there anything else about the old style that you liked better than the new style? --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:49, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nah, I like it now. For some reason, when I'm editing, when I add a category it doesn't appear on the finished page, and if I try to add one outside of the editor it won't let me either. Any idea why? Dynovan | Let's Talk 11:08, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Weird glitch?
[http://kuroshitsuji.wikia.com/wiki/I%27m_Alive! This page] has a weird glitch for me. I was trying to add a picture to the page, but it wouldn't let me go into source mode or add the picture in visual mode. Other pages work fine, it's only that one. :/ I asked the other admin if this was also affecting them, and they said it was. I'm using Firefox and the old editor, if you need to know that.

Club Penguin Fanon Wiki
Hello,

I read your message on Sannse's talk page; I would like to point out that Swiss Ninja and his sock Sossions is very active on the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki. He is deleting pages left right and center as we speak; I can't contribute to that wiki because it's being vandalized by this user who happens to also be administrator on both of his accounts. If I were to edit there in its current state, I would most likely be banned.

If possible, I would like to become an administrator on the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki and adopt it. Since I would have administrative rights, I would be able to prevent vandalism and fix many things on that wiki. Please take this into consideration, but the best course of action at the moment would be to demote and ban Sossions and Swiss Ninja. Those two accounts are the same person. Thanks for your time. Astatine 03:24, September 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Banned, reverted, and restored -- thanks for the information. It appears you haven't edited at all, though, so you don't seem to make a very good candidate for admin at this point. Go enjoy the wiki, let me know if you need support, and build your place there. Then ask again for admin rights if you're still interested. Happy editing! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:05, September 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cheers, I'll be sure to contribute now that vandal admins are taken care of. I understand why I would not make a good candidate; I'm just happy that I can edit without fear of getting banned. Thanks for your help! Astatine 11:21, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Corrupt Bur
There is a corrupt bur on the POTCO Players Wiki. Tama63 constantly harasses me, and gets away with it. Finally, when I got angry with someone on chat, he bans me for a week. Yet, when someone spammed "conkers" and another guy brought an in-game fight to the wiki, they didn't get punished. Tama has always been harassing me, so, finally, I wrote his demotion blog, and he DELETES it! He's very corrupt and NEEDS a demotion, please! I'm so sick of his harassment.


 * Dear lord john, dont brings things here and under a wiki rule(local wiki rule) only burs may post those demotion blogs.You have been nothing but trouble since you lost your sysop rights.I cant be everywhere but I rely on user reports. --Tama 63  15:46, September 4, 2011 (UTC) argument closed Wikia have nothing to do with us anymore they will not take action due to drama from certain users.


 * I'm reporting a corrupt admin, stop crying Tama. And even if only burs can post them, sysops are NOT allowed to delete their own demotion requests, as far as I've seen in all my time on the wiki (longer than your time)
 * Both of you: please calm down and try to work it out locally. You could go into Chat and discuss the situation. There is no use harassing Dopp. 15:52, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, I would go into chat, but Tama banned me from it for a week for "arguing". Yet, EVERY other user argues, and doesn't get banned.

New Profile Suggestion
Since it is fairly clear that you and the other staff members won't change the profile header back, I have a suggestion to improve it. I suggest that you insert a slot for a user to enter his/her primary language. Here are some details: I hope that you at least consider this and discuss it with the other staff, or even the community. A site-wide message would be sent out with a link to the blog/forum/whatever-you-would-announce-it-on, similar to what was done with the new profiles' release.
 * It would display somewhere in the colored strip at the top, perhaps next to the "real name" slot.
 * It would be programmed to translate the language name into the primary language of the wiki it is viewed on. For example, here, it would say that mine is English. On a Spanish wiki, it would say that it is Inglés. (Ignore this if it is already programmed to do so for everything else in the header.)

ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 22:39, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Glitches Report
On Ben 10 Fan Fiction Answers, I went into the theme designer to change the wordmark. However, it wouldn't work, and came up like this:

I tried to change the wordmark manually, but it wouldn't let me, telling me to use the Theme Designer.

Also, when I try to add a photo to a page in the RTE, when I get to the screen where I add the settings and caption, the Add button is gone. It doesn't appear at all.

What is the reason for these glitches?

Hey
Hello Dopp. I remember a while back you asked if I could make a new version of the "wiki not found" page, but the more I thought about it the more I thought it would need updating very frequently. There are links to the different departments (entertainment, gaming and lifestyle) at the top of every wikia page and as much as I think these links are flawed they do the job of a constantly-updating picture of wikia wikis. However, my main concern to bring up with you is this. I honestly cannot believe how you expect that response to satisfy the points that the users have brought to your attention. your initial arguments of how this change is better for wikia have been completely debunked (ie, these pages do not show up in special:wantedcategories like you said they would, and also you said that the reason you made categories blue was because they had some content which they 'do not), to brush this off, with "we've made the decision and will no longer discuss it further" is so annoying and shows that you have no intention of engaging with the community as soon as it becomes inconvenient for you. I hope you (as a company) give this some serious thought (something I feel you have not done upto now)--Acer4666 01:11, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Apologynforcememn
Despite the fact you set me up with VB, did not have the class or courtesy to respond to any of my last responses, and did not handle VB properly, even though Jayswife and myself told you what was going on, I wanted to say that I am sorry. I have gone to the police and the Internet Enforcement Bureau, given them your picture off of here, and they are both conducting investigations as to why you did not handle harrassment and stalking charges that were clear. They are also watching and monitoring the sites that you go on, including here, to see what you are up to. With that being said, I once again want to say that I am sorry for everything that happened, and I hope you can accept my apology. Lupojohn

Message Board Blog
Dopp, I know you and the rest of the staff are combing through hundreads of comments about this topic, but I have just spent the last four hours typing comething up that I feel that someone on the staff needs to read. Since it's your blog, and you've been the one responding I'm asking you to read it. It's long, it's really a small article, but I truely belive what I said in there is something that everyone needs to see. Community and Staff alike. I like Wikia, but I can't support the path you are starting to walk down. Please just read it, and I know that I really have no standing to ask you to read my comment over anyone else's, but again, I do feel there are things in there that are becoming more and more evident.

Democracy
Hello there. Why are you doing this? Forcing this new Talk Page "feature" down our throats? We don't want to become facebook. It is quite obvious that no one really likes this "idea". Isn't the point of running a successful community to listen to the community? Changing everything at your own whim without even consulting the needs, wants, dislikes, etc. of your people is basically an autocracy. What good will it do to release all these new features when the people oppose it, and in effect you. How about some democracy, see what the users want. Back on the Avatar Wiki, we strongly oppose this idea, and it's not only us... Please, try and listen to some reason and don't become the Marie Antoinette of the wiki. -- Rage Of  Fluffy  09:25, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Dopp, listen. We do not want the Message Wall. We are tired of your updating. Talk pages is something we hold dear because we can talk without comments, we can make archives, and even more. This has gone to far. Can you please not make Message Wall. So many people hate it. Please listen.

....
Shame on you......

Your not even Listening to OUR thoughts you build you. You may have helped create wiki, but we make you. There is a petition of almost 200 users on THIS WIKI alone, and theres plenty more on other wikis who dont want this or dont even think the petition exsists. Hell, some people dont even know about this update. If your gonna listen to the 6 people who this, Then F U. And only 26 people want to test it. Your going to lose 25% of all Wikia Users because your fixing something that isnt broken. La$m00r3 18:22, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * @Lasmore On Central, you criticize with respect. If you're going to say something, you're going to say is respectfully, regardless of who it is.


 * It is worth pointing out that Dopp is a messenger, not a decision maker. She did not conceive this idea, nor does she necessarily support it. It is, however, her job to tell you about it, and that is precisely what she did. If you have a complaint you'd like to send to Wikia, send it to Wikia.

Hi. It's me 2KE. this is my new account <3

I would like to report a user from the Degrassi Wikia

His username is Closer 2my Dreams & Farewell Hakeem. (he uses two accounts)

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; ">but there is one problem. Everytime he gets banned, he changes his IP Address to break his ban and come on a new account. The admins of the Degrassi Wikia have given up on banning him. I just want him to stop!

Hello, Dopp. I've noticed your staff and... I need help! my frien Amnestyyy has requested an adoption of the Hitman Wikia. Every formality is out of the way (admins haven't edited for 60 days, she has contributed alot etc.) but, there has been no reply yet. Can you please help?

News!
Hi Dopp! Finally, mabye you could remember, the admin of the wiki that had copied me has decided to close his wiki (now he has anotherone about another tv series). I wrote that to you because he sent an email (written with google translator) in which he asked to close his wiki, but hadn't obtain any answer (he could write the wrong e-mail address). So...how I have to tell him to do? He has to send another e-mail to confirm that?

Best, Cento93 13:33, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * Apologies: i was looking at the wrong message. He did request that his wiki be closed, and the request was denied because the wiki is full of content. He should, instead, request that the wiki be merged with yours (which means: closed and redirected to yours). Before he makes this request, he should make sure that ALL unique content from his wiki has already been moved to yours.  If this doesn't happen, we cannot close the wiki. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  19:06, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Help with retrieving data?
Hi, I'm looking to retrive the data off of http://sppf.wikia.com if possible. I'm planning on making a new, non-offensive SPPf wikia by using the infomation off of the old one as a base.

Election
I have an idea. How about you set up a poll for the new message wall: if most of the votes are for or against it, then you'll have an idea how the wiki feels about this. The method you are conducting this in now is sloppy, and is not entirely accurate. Just make a poll:

Are you in favor of the message wall?

Yes

No

OK, so I can't figure out polls. But surely you or another staff member can make them. Pinguinus impennis 18:12, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Just for future use Pinguinus, you need to add the following to a page to create a poll.

For logged out users (or if you disable the Wiki Activity redirect from your personal preferences), it's the main page. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 20:38, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Message Wall
Hi Dopp, wanted to give you some more Message Wall feedback, based on some personal observations. I've noticed that people seem to feel compelled to respond quicker to Message Wall interactions...and as a result, this practically turns walls into chatrooms, clogging the RC with many Message Walls exchanges and making it more difficult to sort out actual edits to articles. -- <font color="Green">LordTBT <font color="Green" size="2">Talk! 23:10, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Forums In the Content Namespaces Group
Could you or another staff member count the Forum namespace as a content one on Ben 10 Fan Fiction? The forums are DEAD there (except the Featured Pages), and this would likely help. It seems to work here.
