Embedded Coments
I have just begun to create a new wiki. However, there is a minor yet irritating problem I have encountered. I would like to inquire how to permanently remove all the embedded comment boxes which mysteriously appear at the bottom of every article I write.

As it was an auto-message sent by you to my talk page on the wiki congratulating me on its creation, I thought I should approach you with this inquiry.

Thanks, --Byzantine Latinkon 18:24, February 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Comments are the default for new wikis on Wikia now. They replace the old-style talk pages, bringing the conversation to the actual article page. We can switch wikis back to the old way on request - just mail us to let us know your preference. Any existing comments will be lost if you do this -- please be sure to mention in your message that you are aware of this.

 * There was no text entry box at all. I'm not sure why, I couldn't find any help information and the FAQ page didn't have anything of substance as it was undeveloped. Unless you know why, perhaps some other option would be better. ErinEmeraldflame 21:38, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, and help
First of all, I would like to thank for adding slideshows to the Monobook functionality. Don't know why you did, but thanks. And second, none of our templates work on the Winx Club and Winx Club Fanon wikis. I'd like to know if this is a wikia issue, or something we did. Thanks!--Aliana*Anima della tundra! 00:33, February 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks as though there have been some recent edits to templates on both wikis, but you have some very complex templates, so it's difficult for me to see what's going on. I would say your first step should be to revert some recent changes to see if that helps. Then you may be able to get some expert help in the Community Forums. Don't forget to give plenty of clear links - both to the wikis and to the specific templates you are having problems with -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:37, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Emailing Users
Hey Sannse how are you doing. I just have one question this time around. As I was looking though some of the updates with the toolbar, I noticed that the EmailUser function doesn’t have a tool feature. I noticed this feature disappear from user pages with the skin update. In Monaco, there was a link on user pages, below the sidebar, that allowed people to email each other if necessary. I am curious, what happened to this feature? Thanks in advance. Lancer1289 03:19, February 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, The email feature was very seldom used... just a few times a day over the whole of Wikia. So we removed the link as one of the least important - we want the links that show to be the ones used most, and to keep the number to a sensible level :) Since then, the feature has been misused a couple of times, which has made it even less likely to be a link we emphasize. If it's not a way people generally want to communicate, and is misused by spammers... not much point in us keeping it around! -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:26, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah several very good reasons for removing it. No use keeping something around that is never used. Thanks again for the response. :) Lancer1289 17:57, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hey Sannse! Firstly, let me congratulate you on 5 years at Wikia! You have offered guidance to many users and co-workers, and from the Wikia community perspective, I think you are doing an amazing job! Keep up the good work!

Secondly, I wanted to ask if I am allowed to make a certain blog post. Its about vandals, trolls and spammers and how to handle them in different situations, with or without administration rights. I have only been on Wikia since August, but I worked hard on it and believe that it could help many users in situations where they aren't sure what to do.

Just wanted to be sure with you if I'm allowed to make this blog post here, since I'm not allowed to make it on the V.S.T.F. wiki.

Thanks! --BobNewbie talk • blog 07:14, February 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the congratulations :)


 * Yes, you can add a blog post here. My own advice on trolls, vandals and spammers is always "block, revert, ignore"... and I tend to think that too many posts or pages about drama just increases it ;) But this is a wiki where you can blog about this or any other related topic. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:42, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem.

Also, thanks for the advice. I wanted to make a BP about it because I keep seeing users addressing vandalism wrongly. Anyway, have a nice day! -- BobNewbie talk • blog 18:37, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Another Glitch
Last night (the 20th), I edited my sister's story, Ben 10 Meets Phineas and Ferb, on Ben 10 Fan Fiction. For some reason, it's showing up today! Although it's not that big a deal, I am annoyed, since it reset my counter for the 100-day badge. What happened? ---****--- Roads (talk, blog, and Ben 10 series) 18:19, February 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * The counter uses the UTC timezone, rather than your local time. And you edited just after midnight for that timezone. We have so many people from so many countries (and timezones) that the system generally just uses the "standard" time.

need an image attribution design tip
Is there an easy way to make small thumbnails be less unsightly? See for example w.c:guildwars:User:Brother Roland/Mini Pets; due to the small size of the icons, the attribution wraps and adds to the visual space of teh text, which as a result is much larger than the image itself. MediaWiki won't enlarge thumbnails if you give them a larger px size, so that option is out, and I don't want to turn attributions off (in fact, I'd like to avoid any wiki-specific "solutions" that would have to be maintained in the future). Any ideas? --◄mendel► 20:32, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * One way might be to create the images with a bigger border... but I'm not sure that's ideal either. It's a tricky one. I'll show this to the some folks in the office tomorrow, and see if they have some ideas of what might work better -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 05:52, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that would be great! We have by now close to 100 of these pet icons, and I'm fairly sure that creating duplicate versions of all of these won't be ideal. --◄mendel► 14:02, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Has anything come of this, or do I just have to live with the attribution ugliness for these small images? --◄mendel► 05:56, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I passed it on, and the likely solution is going to be remove attribution for any thumbnails below a certain size. That's got to be finalized (especially deciding exactly what the cut-off is) but I hope it won't take too long to make the change -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:20, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Meaningless blocks
Hey this is Wildoneshelper (cont. Uhsting) (talk) (edits) again and I'm from http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Ones_Wiki again.

Recently, some pages are blocked by no reason. Those pages are not the ones which are the cores of controlling and affecting the wiki so much. They are just only informative pages. The pages are not private and doesn't expose some information about the user or community. The following three pages are http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Falcon and http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Turkey and http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Rumble_in_The_Jungle. Please unblock them or if not, reply at my talk page. Thank you! I'm very angry at WildWarren and I'm going to do something to prevent him to block the pages again. He is trying to prevent me to spread around the wiki! I have fully contributions in Wild Ones Wiki and I don't know why he blocked the pages. It is a reason that he hates me I think. He is lazy on blocking the pages. When blocked, no edits he made in the blocking pages. I wonder why he does it. He must have gone crazy about me. I want you to solve this problem asap.

Wildoneshelper (cont. Uhsting) (talk) (edits) 09:53, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Beautification help
hello again, Its me once again begging for help on the barsoom wiki, This time I need help with the beautification of the invididual portals. . . and no matter what I do I cannot seem to get the google rating up, and in all honesty It has me worried. I have tried some of the things that were on the page about it. The most popular and consistent work for the burroughs universe right now is the warlord of mars series (a current ongoing comic), and the upcoming movie. . . which our article on both of these subjects are lacking, But I am unsure of how to go about acquiring help for these two subjects. It seems rude and unlawful to copy information on the movie directly from other wikis, and asking for help for the dynamite warlord of mars series on the sites official forums will likely get me banned for advertising a website I am in charge of (i have seen this happen with other wikis). . . I am sorry for being so amateur ralok 07:02, March 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Everything on a wiki is public domain information. It's perfectly legal to copy it, and it isn't rude at all. Just make sure you've cited it properly.


 * Monchoman45: that's not quite accurate :) it's important to separate copying text directly and gathering information from a source. You can't always just copy the text, but you can take information from a source and put it in your own words. So the fact that grass is green can't be copyrighted, but that doesn't mean you can directly copy the exact text of an article that says that -- you need to pull out the facts and write about it yourself :)


 * On the other hand, many wikis (including those on Wikia) use a license that does allow you to copy text directly -- as long as you give credit to the source. So it depends on the situation.


 * ralok: I'd say that content is the key to getting noticed on Google, rather than beautification -- although that helps keep people on the site once the reach you! Content will be especially important as the movies get closer and people search more for the key terms. Finding information from other sites and wikis and putting it together in your own words is definitely not rude or illegal :) You shouldn't just copy text of course, but bringing together information from many sources and building them in to the ultimate resource is what wikis are all about.


 * You may also find that linking to other sites on your wiki (for example " broke a new story that...." or "Source: ") will help those sites notice you, and may encourage them to send people your way to share information too.


 * Forums and blogs have varying rules, but some allow you to link a wiki or other site in your signature or profile. Contributing on forum discussions and adding replies to questions will then give you publicity for your wiki without you spamming. Forums may also allow you to link when the link is part of a relevant reply. For example, someone might ask "what are the names of the Pricesses of Mars?" and you could reply something like "the most important are A, B and C... but there are also 25 others mentioned in the books - there is an article about all of them if you want to know more".


 * And most importantly - don't give up! You are doing great :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:18, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Bureaucrat trouble
Hey there. A couple of months ago, you helped out our wiki Dragon Ball Fanon Wiki with a rogue bureaucrat, and we were all sorted for a good while. Unfortunately, the user promoted to bureaucrat as a replacement then insulted another of our administrators as an anon, and I blocked him for a year. It was then decided that we would demote Princeofallsalads and relace him with a more reliable user.

Seeing as bureaucrats cannot demote bureaucrats, would you be able to do the job? Thanks. 01:34, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the anon account that he used to harass a fellow admin... I guess if you want you could do an IP check with the Princeofallsalads account to make sure, but he did admit to being both of them... -KidVegeta

Hey, it's all cool now. As it turns out, POAS decided to demote himself. -KidVegeta


 * OK, glad it got sorted -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:34, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thank You!
Thanks for the tips, Sannse. My wiki has grown to 10 users, and now Finchelfanno1 is spreading the word around on a very popular wiki-Glee Wiki. Mr. Grille (contact) 12:54, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks :) but it's my job to look after wikis all over Wikia, so I don't generally get a chance to edit on specific wikis. But best of luck with your wiki! -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:37, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Contributor Double Trouble
Recently, there is a contributor which is damaging our wiki severely. His IP address is 98.149.112.147 Please charge him if nessesary and block him for 1 year. I'm not a bureaucrat but I want to tell it to you.Wildoneshelper (cont. Uhsting) (talk) (edits) 05:30, March 6, 2011 (UTC)Not enough 60 days to ask for Bureaucrat permission but I wanna have it to unblock innocent pages and block users.Wildoneshelper (cont. Uhsting) (talk) (edits) 05:30, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, you don't say which wiki, but possibly you mean Wild Ones Wiki? You are admin there, so can block the IP. Just go to Special:Block on your wiki to add the block -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:43, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Answers
Using the new wiki-creation format, How do I create a new answers site? There doesn't appear to be a link to do this.Hockeyben 00:22, March 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I replied on the forum. There is actually a work-around at the moment: you can visit http://www.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:CreateWiki&type=answers&uselang=en to create an answers site... although I don't know if how long that will be available, and you should be aware of the potential for changes to the look of Answers wikis in the future (I don't have news on that yet) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:53, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Problem
Please ban User:John Egbert from the great weegee wiki!

Take a look at the mean message from him http://thegreatweegee.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Murkekow_Alt&oldid=9046

He has been renaming people's user page's and removing all content from page's.

That blue plumbah! 04:41, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * It may just be me, but I think you're bringing it on yourself with edits like these. What goes around comes around. If you promote hate, that's what you will normally be greeted with. Rappy 06:44, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * What Rappy said.
 * It looks like the admin there has been inactive for a while, I would suggest that the active users start by working out how to work together more politely, and then discuss who should have admin rights. Then you will be able to look after the wiki more effectively -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:56, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

New Skin
Hi Sannse! The new wikia skin is actually quite good! Only one problem though that strikes me down badly: Why cannot users change their skin to their own liking? I am currently stuck on the monobook skin, but if I could change my skin preferences, I could switch between to two when I like, therefore there are no problem reports about it. My basic question is this: "Why can users not change their skins to their liking?". It just doesn't make sense to me anymore... I asked Sarah Manley whether she could change my skin. She replied saying I could, so I checked but no, I cannot (due to $wgHiddenPrefs being set to "skin" I suppose) and she has not replied yet. Can users have the right to change their skins, please? OH! And if the fact that they cannot change their skins because of the new Wikia skin being the new Wikia style and that users should always have that one on, well think about this: I cannot change my skin to Wikia, so Monobook is my default one :( I would like to be able to switch between the two. Thanks — Jempcorp {user page | talk} 22:18, March 8, 2011 (UTC).
 * Oh, and one more thing: The "Vector" skin would look great on Wikia, I think. So sleek and shiny *deep thought* — Jempcorp {user page | talk} 22:23, March 8, 2011 (UTC).
 * Does not matter now - found it under User Profile. Thanks, — Jempcorp {user page | talk} 10:00, March 12, 2011 (UTC).

Vandal
There has been a vandal at the Artemis Fowl Wiki for a few days now. Whenever I ban him/her, he/she always comes back and somehow bypasses the block. He/she always comes with a new username/IP, and has been blanking pages, insulting me, etc. His latest IP is 71.136.245.156. Can you do something about that if you get the chance? Thanks. ಠ_ಠ Waddle D33  ( Talk •  Contribs ) 17:15, March 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello. He can keep coming back because he has a large, dynamic range. I have checked and there were no false positives and have blocked the smallest range possible. Please let us know here if he returns and we'll take a look. -- 18:55, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Change Title
I would like if you were to change the name of my wikia "BRUCE LEE WIKI" to "Bruce Lee Wiki", thanks.Quiet Man 10:33, March 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, we can do that, but need to know which wiki :) Please send the details in by using  the contact form.  Thanks -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  05:06, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sysop
Hi, would you be able to make FatMan2539 into a sysop for the XBIO wikia page to help with the wiki please.

 * Hi, the current beaurocrat can do that - they just need to go to his contributions page, and click the link that says "user rights" -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  05:06, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, you can set rights by going to a person's contributions page and clicking the "user rights" link. Popular pages are automatically added as your wiki grows.  -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  05:06, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
