Fallout Fanon Wiki
On the Fallout Fanon wiki we have 3 inactive admins, 2 have moved to China well the other one is simply focusing on the Fallout wiki, and I (and two others) have been nominated to become a new admin, but, we have no admins to give this power. I didn't post on the adoption page because our wiki is active. So, please help. //-- Teh Krush 11:20, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

fr.dofus
Hi Angela,

Since that wiki is dead/vandalize maybe you could (since im not very good at that) extend an invitation to http://wiki-dofus.eu/ to join us here. I know that recently they had a server crash on november/december and change server/url because of that so maybe they could be interested on merging/overlapping their wiki with fr.dofus --

Can u help me?
I'm the member of the zh-uncyclopedia, but you'll see, the webside have become so strange now. I have known that just is a hoax on the April Fool's Day. But I'm being in the wikia for a short time only, so I can't find the way to visit the real zh-uncyclopedia. Can u help me? ありがとうございました！--饭丝不好吃 03:18, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Request: desyop inactive evchk admins
Hello! I'm from EVCHK(香港網絡大典).

We have some EVCHK admins who aren't online and/or didn't utilize their admin rights for a long time. In view of that, those admins are to be desyopped.

The inactive admins are listed at.

Quoted from the topic:
 * 1) w:c:evchk:User:W（disappeared on Jun 2007）
 * 2) w:c:evchk:User:JJable（disappeared on Aug 2007）
 * 3) w:c:evchk:User:華文翰（disappeared on Sep 2008）

Username merge
I'm not sure how this works, but people seem to come to you about it. I have two other user names that I need merged with this account (Master Conjurer). They are Ericrvjr and MasterConjurer. Is that possible, and do I need to do/show anything else to do it? // masterConjurer ( Talk ) _ 05:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merges aren't possible. What others were talking about was merging an account that had been renamed with their Wikia name when an external wiki moved to Wikia. Angela (talk) 18:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Userpedia
Hi, it's Elvira here, remember when you said that I could make a new userpedia wiki as the older one was about to be locked? I thought a lot about it and I've decided I'll create a new one with this address smwuserpedia.wikia.com. How do I create it? Raphaella Elvira will stay at WIKIA 14:52, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikianswers
I've just started answering questions on Wikianswers and the first 2 questions that I saw were "What is the max hit of a green dragon?" and ""treasure" in native language?" Is there a category for "questions that need rephrasing" that I can add them to because more information is needed to answer them? Thanks. GT5162 15:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * There's no category since it's usually easier to rename a question than to add a category. It's unlikely the asker will come back and clarify what they meant, so you just need to make a guess and turn the question into something that can be answered. If it's not possible to rephrase it or answer it, you can add a tag. One way to find what someone meant is to click on their username or IP and find out what else they have asked. In the examples you give, the green dragon asker had also asked one about RuneScape and the native language one had asked a second question instead of rephrasing his first (wikianswers:What is the word "treasure" in the native American language?) Angela (talk) 16:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply. GT5162 17:13, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Creating new wikis
When a new wiki is created, the "administrators" page that is automatically created still says that bureaucrats "are not currently able to remove admin access from any user; please contact one of the community team if you need that done." (For example, on the Firefox Wiki, which I created earlier this week). Perhaps this should be changed as bureaucrats can now remove sysop rights from users. Thanks.

His Dark Materials Wiki
Hi Angela. I'm an admin at the HDM Wikia, which has recently been somewhat lacking in activity. I've come across a few other Wikis dealing with the His Dark Materials trilogy, and was wondering about the possibility of a merge with these sites: Regardless of their current levels of activity, both of these Wikis have some very good information, but they also seem to be struggling. I think we would all benefit if they were offered the opportunity to bring their content across to Wikia. Many thanks. --Adam (talk) 13:45, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * BridgeToTheStars.net - Almost completely inactive, with no contributions this year. The last edit was vandalism, which hasn't yet been reverted.
 * Srafopedia - Has currently active admins, but the site seems to have been slowly drowning in automated spam attacks for some time. Also, an interesting and unique title using the name of an important element from the series.
 * Those wikis aren't a part of Wikia. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 13:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of that, however I don't see that that precludes such a merge from being possible. I'm also an admin at a non-Wikia wiki which received such a merger offer from Angela some time ago. This is what prompted me to consider posting this request. --Adam (talk) 13:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, Michael. It is not uncommon for content from non-Wikia site to move to Wikia or be merged with existing Wikia wikis. Angela does this a lot. :) -- 13:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Can he even contact the owners of those two wiki? They seem long gone. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. Both wikis are run by large and active HDM fansites, whose webmasters should be readily contactable:
 * hisdarkmaterials.org Contact Info
 * bridgetothestars.net Contact Info --Adam (talk) 15:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Mergers are always welcome. Neither wiki has yet licensed their content under the GFDL which adds a complication but doesn't make it impossible. I think what hdm.wikia needs most is more editors. Looking at these two wikis, there aren't very many people involved, so it may be worth talking directly to the few people that are editing here and see if they would like to join you on Wikia. If they do, then I'm always available to help with importing content. Do you find that either of these wikis are showing up in search results when you search google for things related to your wiki? Angela (talk) 19:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply Angela. I have to confess, that after doing some more research I feel slightly embarrassed at my naively over-simplified suggestion. Srafopedia is in a far more "complete" state than I'd judged by my initial cursory assessment, with many times more articles than hdm.wikia. Also, their articles appear among the top ranked Google search results for many series-related search terms. Based on this, I can't help but feel that they may view the benefits of any potential merger as somewhat one-sided.
 * I also completely agree with your view that hdm.wikia is lacking in editors; my hope was that a merge would drive increased contribution, whereas I now see that it should be the other way around if anything. I suspect that Srafopedia's lower activity levels may be due to editors viewing the content as nearing completion, given the somewhat finite and contained nature of the subject matter. At my suggestion, they have blocked IP edits, greatly limiting the danger of further vandalism. I'll let you know of any notable developments which would benefit from your involvement. Thanks again --Adam (talk) 20:15, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi, I'm a regular on the #wookieepedia channel in IRC (as "GrandMoffTranner"), and I was told that you could get me a wiki cloak. Could you please get me one? Also, I'm not exactly good with computers, so is there anything I would need to do to install/operate the cloak? Grand Moff Tranner 23:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ensure your nickname is setup according to these steps: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup

Please Ban Me
I am a sockpuppet of the user Gyaos. Wait, I can explain. When I first came to Wikia, I thought for each wiki, you need a new account. So I created Gyaos and this account. Then, I figured out you only need one account. So, please BAN me and my sockpuppet account on all Wikia wikis. I apologize for the sockpuppetry. It'll never happen again.--Vampyrum Spectrum08 18:56, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It's ok to have 2 accounts (as long as you're not misusing them to vote twice or anything). What I could do though if you're sure you never want to use the name Vampyrum Spectrum08 again is to disable that account. That is not reversible though, so let me know if it's what you want. An easier way is just to change your password so you don't accidentally use the account again. Angela (talk) 21:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay. Nevermind about the ban thing.--Vampyrum Spectrum08 20:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Hello. Is it an article that you want to change or a user's name? For changing the title of a page, see Help:Moving pages. There is not currently a way to change a username - instead, you need to make a new username and make a note of that on your old userpage. Angela (talk) 03:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Attention Requested
Hello Angela. I originally requested this attention from JSharp, but recently discovered he is not longer active as a staff member? Anywho, as you have dealt with this in the past I felt I shall ask you. At RuneScape Wiki we strongly disapprove of gold-selling or anything as such that violates the rules of our wiki or Jagex (the owners of RuneScape). As this is a violation of fansite mutuality with RuneScape it seems redundant to strongly oppose these sites yet often enough have gold-selling advertisements. A discussion has come up here that I would really love to see your opinion. Jagex has recently announced it will be seeking partnership with fansites and something like these advertisements are a large negative on us. Thanks. Bonziiznob 19:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * There's a help page on this now at Help:Bad advertisements. Please see that page to find out what info we need and then email that to us and we'll try to get this resolved. Angela (talk) 22:59, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Another option has come up in the discussion then that rather reporting the advertisement all the time, is it possible to place a "disclaimer" per such below the ad along the lines saying that the "RuneScape Wiki does not endorse the following advertisement"? Just a thought, is it possible? Bonziiznob 06:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that could look a bit ugly and end up taking up every more space that the ad itself. All ads are clearly marked as ads and hopefully most people understand that these are not endorsements. A better option might be to make a disclaimers page and mention it there. Angela (talk) 06:44, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Monaco Skins
Hi, I wanted to know if I could put my own monaco skin that I did as a background on my wiki.(Britain's Got Talent Wiki Thanks, --Matias arana 10 02:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, the background can be customized. See Help:Customizing Monaco or use special:contact if you need any help. Angela (talk) 02:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure, but I want to do a background like Watchmen's Wiki. Or Lostpedia Thanks a lot, --Matias arana 10 22:13, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can do this sort of thing with any wiki. Have a look at w:c:lostpedia:mediawiki:common.css or w:c:lostpedia:mediawiki:monaco.css to see how they've done that. If you need help doing it, please can you send details of where the image you want to use is to special:contact. Angela (talk) 22:18, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Font faces
Could you kindly give me a list of all the fonts as I get very confused choosing fonts--Superbrutaka07
 * Have a look here.  12:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Different people have different fonts on their own computers. You can find some information on Wikipedia about this. See List of Mac OS X fonts, Samples of Serif typefaces, List of Microsoft Windows fonts. Angela (talk) 23:11, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

New protection level
On some wiki's such as many Fan Fictions, Your Story and RS players it would be useful to have a new level of protection, where only the creator and admins could edit. it. This would greatly stop vandalism on those wiki's, and could be helpful to other pages on other wiki's. I figured you would be the one to ask, as you co-founded wikia.--2+2 15:49, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * While it may or may not be appropriate for Wikia, and it's ultimately up to Wikia's staff to add it, what you'd be looking for (with staff approval/testing and the respective consensus of each of those communities) is this extension written by Skizzerz. -- 15:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Is vandalism the problem here? If so, there are probably better ways of dealing with that. If the issue is more than people don't want their own works being edited, then it seems to go against the purpose of a wiki, but you may be able to get this effect using social rather than technical means. For example, by placing a template that others make only minor edits to the page (correcting spelling, etc) and to make a separate page if they want to make a major change. Angela (talk) 05:34, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Whhen Users report him, he gets rid of the edit and protects the page! Plus, he decided that the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki was the Weird World Wiki's enemy. On the Club Penguin Wiki, he insults Users.

Mirroring/forking/moving AutoCAD to AUGI (self=hosting)
Angela, I'd like to get a database dump of the AutoCAD Wiki. AutoCAD User Group International has agreed to host it. Of course Wikia can continue to keep it running, but I believe it will succeed better with the professionalism of a self-hosted mediawiki wiki at AUGI. Only time will tell. What do I need to do to get the dump? Can somebody make it and provide me the URL? Or is there a built in way to generate it? Thanks for everything. Tom Haws 18:08, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

p.s. I suppose I also need a media files dump? Whatever is necessary to recreate the wiki. :-)


 * Hi Tom. Would you like some help to make the wiki at Wikia more professional looking rather than trying to set up on your own? A new skin and logo would be a great place to start. If you have a look at wikis like Marvel or Green, you'll see there's lots that can be done in terms of customization of the design. However, if you decide to make a copy, the database is always available at the site linked from database download. Have you considered using the spotlight feature to promote the wiki? Angela (talk) 21:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. Bling is not the problem.  The problem, as you surmised, is the glamour ads.  I thought it was just me, but when I sent a workmate to the site, he commented that the ads were too much.  I am not against ads in any way, but the ad pool at wikia just isn't compatible with an engineering office around here.  97.117.189.16 04:01, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Why don't you just tell it to the admins of that wiki (I find it offensive too, but I don't care that much)? Vaznock - Talk 14:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikia allows people to reflect many different points of view. If you can think of a way to change the wording in a way that still reflects the atheist point of view, then you could suggest that on the talk page, but it may be better for you to write from your own point of view on one of the other wikis (perhaps the christianity wiki).

He already had a history of mild discrimination against me, and I'm afraid I was very angry with him. I have now apologised for my unkind remarks, and hope he will forgive me.. The person I am talking about, AG is nothing but a hypocrite, insulter, and naggerNice. Friendly. I said he disliked me. Believe me though, it goes deeper than that.. He thinks some bureaucrats are bullies, when they are notAgain, the TurtleShroom thing.. He screwed up the site policies for a while until a bureaucrat stepped inAs I said, TurtleShroom is a beurucrat, although I believe the one he is reffering to is himself. However, 'Screwed up the site policies'? Hardly.. He block evadesI edited on an alternate account to protest my innocense, and after a few more alternate accounts (they're very handy with the Ban Button) I stopped doing so. I would have used my talk page, but they had not left me the privelege to do so. That perticuler dispute is being resolved internally, however. Suffice to say I have stopped completely.. He is a hypocrite, as he wanted the RV clan to respect others, but he did not respect othersWhen? I only remember giving out to them for uploading offensive pictures!. The RV Clan, a bunch of users, has a you give respect, we give respect back policyThat was the general reason given for the offensive pictures.. He is saying he represents the entire wiki, when he is hated by mostI said that once, I was misenterperted, and I apologised..

Those are the deeper meanings behind his comments, which will probably cause them to be supported. It is a populer lying technique, mixing in just enough truth to be believable.--  ₪  ΔĢєŋŦGεиιυς       דα└к:   19:43, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Fanon Wiki administrator request
Hello. On Fanon Wiki, there are two administrators, however both of them are inactive. As a rather large contributor to the Star Wars Fanon Wiki (2,000+ edits) I would like to become as active on the Fanon Wiki as well. Therefore, since there are just two administrators whom are both inactive, is it possible I could be granted administrator/bureaucrats rights on the Fanon Wiki?

 * I will from Sooner034, but Vined has made more than 100 edits in the last month and seems quite active. Angela (talk) 15:51, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Alright. :) Thank you. Henrydamoose

Request for changing sitename of ko.frag

There is an anonymous user at Interstate Wiki who keeps saying that I'm a "copyright violating bastard" and as I write this, they are demolishing the wiki removing all content from every page. What do I do. (Im the founder and sole user) --AMLNet49(Talk)


 * Don't let the vandals worry you. Have a look at the admin guide to find out ways of dealing with this through rolling back edits and in serious cases, blocking (which I've just done with that one who was blanking pages). Angela (talk) 06:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank You!!!! --AMLNet49(Talk)

IRC?
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to get an IRC channel for our wiki? I don't know who to ask about this so I figured I should ask you. Please respond soon. You don't have to get back too soon, I know how busy you are. --Snapatchu


 * Hello. It's easy to create an IRC channel. Basically, just type  once you're on IRC (swapping channel for the channel name you want to create). If you want that added to the IRC gateway, please send the channel name via special:contact. Angela (talk) 04:33, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

When I try to create a channel, it comes up as blocked.... --Snapatchu


 * Please can you join #wikia and see if someone there could try making the channel for you? Is it possible that someone else has already registered the name you are trying to use? If so, you'll need to choose a different name. Angela (talk) 05:27, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I could not reply sooner, storm took out the power. I'll try having someone else create it. I doubt the name has been taken, as I cannot create any channel at all....--Snapatchu


 * You cannot access an IRC channel such as the one you are trying to create while using the Wikia gateway (unless it is already on the access list). You'll need to either have someone else completely make it and add it, or you'll need to get a real client. Cheers! ~Joey~  <font color="Green">^Talk^  04:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

request new namespace in zh.uncyclopedia
Dear Angela, we request a new namespace "伪基词典" (meaning un-dictionary), the corresponding talk page shall be "伪基词典 talk". Thanks. --Leeyc0 12:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added those. Did you want 伪基词典 to be a "content" namespace? That means it would show up in the default search and articles would count towards the total article count. Angela (talk) 12:32, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Metro 2033 Wikia
Hello, Angela!

First of all, I'd like to praise you and the whole Wikia Help team for providing simple users with that extremely useful and sourceful information! Thank you very much, I, personally, am really glad that you are so open-minded.

Now to the point: my nickname is Vovazl and I am the founder of Metro 2033 Wikia, based on an award-winning novel by a popular Russian sci-fi writer Dmitry Glukhovsky. It came to my mind too late that I'd love to rename this Wikia into Метропедия which means "Metropedia" in Russian. Thus I ask you to rename it for me as soon as you can.

Yours faithfully, Vladimir a.k.a. Vovazl --vovazl 13:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a great looking wiki. I'll make the name change for you now. Angela (talk) 13:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

The Rugby 08 Wiki
Can you please delete it? 23:26, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll leave you a message on that wiki about it. Angela (talk) 04:47, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The reason is that a new version of the game is released every year, so it would be outdated very, very soon as Rugby 09 will be released in my country (New Zealand) very shortly and it probably already released in other countries. 06:06, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Two problems then arise:

06:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Next year, a lot of data would be invalid and the URL would have to be updated again.
 * 2) I don't have Rugby 09.

 * Have you considered creating another wiki instead of trying to edit that one? Different wikis have different policies, and since there is not a problem with the actual content, it does not yet seem there is any reason to remove anyone's admin access. Angela (talk) 17:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi,hey you remember i told you i wanted to change my account's name no?. Well i was asking for your help so you can disable my current account and that way i would create a new one. Thanks Booster master


 * You can create an account without disabling the other one. That way if you change your mind later on, you could switch back to using that one. Just redirect your old userpage to your new name so that people know what's happened. Angela (talk) 19:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Infobox colours
Dear Angela, I have changed the colours of the infobox template on Scarshield Legion Wiki, to make the colours more fitting to the visual style of the wiki. However, the colours of the infobox on specific pages is only changed after I edit the page, until that, the old infobox colours remain. Is there a method to change the infobox colour in each and every page that contains one, without visiting them one by one? - Snicka 11:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: On new rich text editor
Dear Angela while the new text editor was great, however what ive seen today on the many wikis I work on is not Wikias rich text editor. It appears to be only a copy of PB Wikis text editor which has now made any further editing of any of my current projects near impossible. Not only does not the editor look like the previous rich text editor or the editor indicated in the inages for the Help:Rich Text Editor section but it appears to be replaced by another editor entirely. On the wiki I created Battlestar Galactica Fanon Wiki I had to revert the editor back to its original version. If you can provide any help it would be much appriciated. Contact me soon on this.

about the blocking of zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com in mainland China
An adminitrator told me that the Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia is already unblocked in mainland China, and he believes that it should be possible to negotiate with the Chinese government to unblock zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com too, since the nature of the two websites are similar.

We hopes wikia can follow-up with this issue and glad to see that zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com will be unblocked one day. Thank you very much. --Leeyc0 14:08, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Dear Angela
Dear Angela,

We have since several months a problem concerning the situation on the wiki and between the users

There is a bureaucrat that has vandalized our wiki and that has blocked several innocent people... Our wiki is about a fictional republic called Libertas He nearly caused a war between users by separating a part of the country. And nobody could stop him because of his admin rights. He has already taken somebody's admin rights away (of User:TahR78) without a reason. He starts blackmailing me, the chosen president of the republic, that he'll take my rights too if I don't obey. He already said that he wants to make other users, friends of his, admins. I would like to ask you if you want to help us.

It's about the bureaucrat User:Ooswesthoesbes that is able to cause an online war on this wiki, that will cause another inactive wiki. There have been many fights this month so I would please ask you if you could prevent this situation by taking his admin rights. "This user has already caused many fights. When he is getting sick of it, he autoblocks himself and says he'll leave. This happened for already 14' (see log/block) times.

The link of the wiki: [http:www.stad.wikia.com Wikistad] The name of the bureaucrat: Oostwesthoesbes Recent deleted articles: Deleted articles The persons he has blocked:Blocked persons

Yours sincerely, Greenday2


 * Have you thought about creating a new wiki just for Libertas? It might be the easiest solution. Angela (talk) 14:50, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course we've thought about it. The declaration of independence (bringing many fights) occured 1 and a halve month ago.

Now he's saying that he's wanting a reunion, but it won't make the situation any better... Because before the independence of this part of the country, he already started a block war and the atmosphere was the same.

He keeps blackmailing me. Greenday2 14:54, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not only about this separation, it's about the atmosphere that this user is creating only because he has got the power, people don't wanna stay on the wiki because of him Greenday2 14:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Please, It's absolutly needed, there are already 5 people that leaving the wiki because of him :( Greenday2 15:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There are 6 other bureaucrats, so have you considered having a community discussion about the problems and trying to resolve them? Hopefully you can find a compromise but if not, it is possible for bureaucrats to remove admin access. I hope that won't be necessary though. Angela (talk) 15:14, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, we've already had many discussions with him, without a result. I'm afraid this won't help any further. By the way is OWTB a bureaucrat and normal mod's cannot remove his admin access, am I right? Today he has deleted 50 articles... hope this won't be the end of our wiki's activit. Many people announced that they want to leave because of the fights... Greenday2 15:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you think moving the content to a new wiki would help? Angela (talk) 15:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, and he has already deleted more than 120 articles now :s Greenday2 16:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
