Monaco-sidebar
Hi Angela! How are you? I ask: How put text color to the main menu of Monaco-sidebar. Because with  logically I can't. Happy editing! . 17:36, March 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * You would need to edit MediaWiki:Monaco.css to change that. If you need any help, please check out Help:Customizing Monaco or ask for help using Special:Contact. Angela (talk) 17:54, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi! How can I hide some edits in my wiki?? Is changing user names available? Greetings, Matvilho 13:59, March 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're an admin, you can delete a page to remove edits. You can also undelete just certain revisions if you want to keep part of the page. Changing username is not available, but you can instead just create a new user name and redirect your old user page to that one. Angela (talk) 20:02, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

My Wiki?
Hello, Angela!! I'm Wii maniac from MySims wiki. I issued 4 times for a new wiki but I don't think it worked. All it showed was "Create a Wiki" in bold letters and a picture of a non-filled-out wiki page. Did I do it right?

And I changed it from "HotShotGolf" and "WarioWare" to "Kororinpa" wiki. I found out there is already a Hot Shot Golf and WarioWare wiki.


 * It looks like you don't have any wikis yet under this username. Please try again at w:special:createwiki. If it doesn't work, please can you send details to special:contact? Angela (talk) 17:42, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
How often do you guys check Community Central:Adoption requests‎‎?-- 22:11, March 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what the usual schedule is, but it could be a bit less this week as staff are attending a meeting in San Francisco. Please be patient and check back next week. There's lot you can do to improve a wiki without admin access while you're waiting, especially adding content and promoting the wiki. Angela (talk) 22:27, March 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah I have been doing that but Pages need deleted and I have an ichy finger for making a custom skin. You guys have meetings!? Whats it take to work at Wikia HQ? Tell everyone I said have a awsome Staff meeting becuse im a little jealous. Have a good day ma'am ^_^-- 22:41, March 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * What sort of pages need deleted? If there are no other active admins I can take a look for you while you wait out the adoption request queue. As for working at Wikia, you'd need to see this page. -- 23:46, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Redirect
Hi Angela, I guess you saw Avatar :) Apparently, the sequel won't be called Avatar 2, as Jake isn't an Avatar anymore, as confirmed by James Cameron... So we're trying to get all the URLs we can in case the name is changed, like http://navi.wikia.com and http://pandora.wikia.com that both have other bigger wikis. If it is possible, can you delete both and redirect them to http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com please? Both wikis are inactive, btw. Thanks!

PD: I sent this message to Catherine before, but apparently she's out, and I've wait like 1 week for her answer, so I come to you... -- Shadow Na'vi ~  Talk  22:29, March 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * The best way to make sure you get a reply is to use Special:Contact instead of talk pages. I recommend you send this suggestion there as I'm not sure whether that is usually done for wikis that do have content or were only recently created. Angela (talk) 23:42, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

May I ask, Angela, the exact terms of Wikia's policies involving this issue?

One day, I wrote a poem on Wikipedia; I was bored, a bit tired of all the editing. However, I actually found out that it was pretty good, and maybe even worthy of submission to a poetry contest my English teacher was talking about. But, I don't know. If I already saved it to Wikipedia, even if it's on my user page, will it be a violation if I submit it as my own work to an official contest or something? Please...I just want to make sure...I mean, the contest isn't all that important, but... And, also, please, if you write something on a Wikia talk page that's your original work, can you submit it as your own? Thank you so much if you can respond! Pumasari 00:38, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Crazy12345 wiki
Hi, Angela....again! You've heard of MySims wiki, right?

Well, for a long time (possibly since the near-end of 2009), this guy named Ray has been doing very dirty and horrible things to the wiki non-stop (Even with bans, he kept coming back). Just recently, he created a wiki all about him. Like he is "famous" or something. It really pisses me off!!!! I don't really want to debate about it. I just hate him so much (as well as everyone at MySims Wiki). Can you suggest something?

By the way, I haven't told anyone on MySims Wiki, nor have I told Ray, I was letting you in on this.......


 * If he's doing something on a separate wiki, it may be best to just ignore him and not visit that wiki. If he's doing something wrong on the MySims wiki, it's likely that the admins on that wiki would be able to deal with that. If not, you can contact staff for advice.

Contribution Help

 * Hey, hey. You might not remember me but I am Destiny! over at Heroes Wiki. I think it was you who promoted me to becoming an admin. I have been trying hard to make the wiki a better place to edit than before and things are slowly getting a bit better. On the other hand, I know that there is another Heroes Wiki (an issue that has been brought up at the wiki) that is popular. Has this got something to do with the little number of edits our wiki gets each day? Do you have any advice for me on how to get more users to be more active and to edit the wiki and contribute? Or anything else that is helpful? Thanks! 09:25, April 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Promotion has some advice on promoting your wiki. Another way you can make it more popular is to make sure it appears high in Google's search results pages. You can find advice on doing that at Advice:Raising your wiki's Google ranking. I see that w:c:heroes.answers was recently made and hasn't been edited yet. This can be a good way of adding extra content about a topic and can accompany the existing Heroes Wikia without competing with it as the questions on there can be shown in the answers widget on the main Heroes Wikia.

Blocked from editing a Wikia that I've never edited
Hi Angela,

I've been nosing about some Wikia.com subdomains the last few days. I see that I'm blocked for a year on list.wikia.com; my block log, my contribs, there.

It's important to note that every one of those edits was actually made to WMF's English Wikipedia and were later transwiki'd to here, and that I've never made an edit directly to list.wikia.com. Yet I'm blocked for a year with account creation, email and talk page disabled, too. The reason given in the block log is:


 * sock account of indefinitely blocked user from Wikipedia who long term harassed others on and off wiki for years.

Now it is true that I'm a sock account on English Wikipedia and that my original account there is still indefed, but I've been through two rounds of en:ArbCom motions unbanning me. Details available at:

(and the links off of there)
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jack_Merridew/History

I've been unbanned on en:wp for more than sixteen months now. My en:wp history does not include any allegation of off-wiki harassment, which is a criminal offense in many contexts.

I don't know if any involvement in Wikia is in my future, but this treatment is not encouraging (or limited to me).

I would also like to know if I'm blocked on any of Wikia's other subdomains. There are likely tools to check this, but I've no idea where they might be.

Cheers (sorta;),

Jack Merridew 21:14, April 13, 2010 (UTC) (whose real name is David)

P.S. I've an email in with Lisa, but have not heard back yet from her.


 * We don't have a tool to show which wikis you're blocked on. It looks like this is an issue you'd need to resolve with the admin that blocked you on list.wikia.com. Angela (talk) 22:39, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I can't post to his talk page, can't post some sort of unblock request on my talk page, and I can't email him (at least on that wikia). Frankly, I feel you have a rogue admin on your hands. He blocked a bunch of other en:wp editors whom he doesn't like, too, none of whom seem to have edited on the Wikia, either. I was preemptively blocked from a site I've never edited, with no recourse available. I didn't even get a note on my talk page.
 * The list:Wikia admin in question, User:A Nobody, is currently indef'd on en:wp pending a response to the en:ArbCom and has been unwilling to discuss anyone's concerns about his editing for years.
 * I will drop him a note on this wikia, next, and see how that goes.
 * Cheers, Jack Merridew 22:53, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Angela, it may be instructive to see just how many en:wp IDs this user has blocked... I've never edited there and I got blocked too. I bet most of the other people in that block log ( http://list.wikia.com/wiki/Special:BlockList ) would be surprised to see the blocks, as they have not edited there either, I'd expect. It may not matter much in the grand scheme of things but that admin seems seriously awry to me. Blocked on en:wp and taking it out on randoms. I think this would be my first block at any wiki ever. ++Lar: t/c 23:25, April 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd like to keep this discussion in one place, rather than spread if via email, Angela, me, and various other places. Jack, I'm about to catch up on mail so can reply to your mail. Lar, perhaps it would be easiest for me to send you a copy of that mail? -- sannse (talk) 00:19, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

HELP
On Fantendo, I recently banned a troll calling herself "Sally Yoshiseries". Shortly afterward, users began complaining that they themselves had been banned from editing and creating articles, because their IP had been used by Sally Yoshiseries. This has happened to four users so far, and counting. I believe Sally may have the ability to change her IP, and she's changing it to match these users' IPs. One of those users also began acting like Sally shortly before his account was banned. How do I get rid of her entirely? Cobweb (Talk) I really need help here.
