Thanks for your help with modifying the logo. The faded versions are great. Angela 20:27, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)

War Logo

 * Yes thank you very much. I can not get a new logo though. I think I can get one. Star Wars' Wiki 22:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Admin
Congratulations! You are now an administrator of the Central Wikicity. You might find the how-to guide useful. Angela (talk) 07:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Spammers beware... Splarka 10:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

You had put spamtest.int after the  tag in the blacklist, so it might not do whatever you were expecting it to do. Angela (talk) 00:57, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * My bad. Still worked though (at least for the blocking part). Splarka 02:45, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Welcome to "adminning"! --CocoaZen 02:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

hi i hav a question
do u allow copying of articles from wikipedia to the wikicity? Thanks 212.120.231.162 23:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, as long as you follow and abide the applicable licenses (GFDL in this case), and don't copy the pages for no sensible reason. If the page will remain on Wikipedia in much the same context, there is no reason to make a second soon-to-be-outdated copy when you could just link to it. If, however, you will be modifying it in a different direction than Wikipedia, feel free. Splarka 00:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the help on the category and admin stuff. You mentioned that it is pretty simple to get adminship on an inactive wiki...I think Activism qualifies, since there was only one (!) edit in the past month, until I came on board, on May 24. Sannse suggested that perhaps I and Mark Dilley (the other major contributor) should become admins there...a suggestion which I will pursue. Thanks again. –Nabarry 06:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Noprob. Just leave a note for Angela, or ask a staffer in the live chat http://irc.wikia.com/ . Splarka 07:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Uncyclopedias interwiki
Hi Splarka! I am an editor of Anegkyklopaideia (the greek uncyclopedia). There was a discussion some time ago concerning interwikis (interwiki map) but we still can't link to other uncyclopedias. Do you have any information on that? Cheers. --Dada 17:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, you should ask Carlb on his talk page here (or on Uncyclopedia) about that, as he is mostly the one arranging the interwiki map project. Splarka 21:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Um, "arranging" how? Anegkyklopaideia is Wikia and therefore does not have Special page to work with the interwiki table. Any changes to interwiki (or interlanguage) links therefore require table `interwiki` to be changed directly on each SQL database to list the current twenty-one language wikis for Uncyclomedia Foundation projects. I've tried raising the issue on Bugzilla and user talk:Jasonr ages ago but nothing's been done. Not much more that I can do from here, sorry. --carlb 17:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Check this out
Check out the WarWiki Main Page and check who did. It was Johnny the Vandal. Somebody needs to block him. General Eisenhower


 * You'll have to contact a staff member for that. --Splarka (talk) 23:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Google box
Hi Sparkla thanks for the note about the google box unfortunately my lack of computerese meant I dont understand what to do to get it back!! Could you spell it out for me more simply.. i am also interested in getting the google scholar box up there is that possible. What else can we get put up on the page on an individual basis? Thanks for your helpLifeartist 17:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the note was more for sannse. My suggestion requires edits to the html. --Splarka (talk) 20:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Inciclopedia's slander article
Our policies are almost the same as uncyc's (before uncyc's new 0 vanity policy). The reported article was deleted and the creator was banned as soon as an admin spoted it, three hours after its creation. We usually delete those articles inmidiatly. Most of our admins live in europe, so sometimes this kind of shit can survive a few hours if it's made at latinamerica's daylight time. I wonder why the guy didn't report it directly to us... Anyway, thanks, and If you get anymore complaints just let me the article's title on my talk page and I'll delete it if some other admin doesn't do so first.--Rataube 09:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Cheers ^_^ --Splarka (talk) 10:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Patrolled Edits
Just a hint: You can go to Special:Preferences to the Editing tab and select x Mark edits I make as patrolled. This will remove the little exclamation point from your edits on recent changes. Patrolled edits (when locked on admin only, such as on WikiFur) are a way of insuring that every edit will be viewed by at least one administrator. However, most administrators here don't need their own edits patrolled *grin*. See m:Help:Patrolled_edit for more general info. --Splarka (talk) 06:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, thank you. I was hoping I wouldn't have to click the little link up in the corner every time I edited. >.< Spaz Kitty 06:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh geeze, I saw my User stuff deleted and wondered what in the world was happening. XD Thanks. --SpazKitty


 * Merging histories can be spooky ^_^. --Splarka (talk) 23:31, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, not sure if you're the one to ask, but I was looking at Wikipedia's recent changes tools and wondered if they could be used on Wikia sites as well? --SK

Switch func broken
I have a rather extensive system set up involving the function on the D'ni Wiki, and it all seems to have come tumbling down when the function showed instead a Template:Switch:bla link, which obviously doesn't exist. Is this your or another staff member's doing, is this a php problem (?), or is this a side effect of moving to the function? (If it is the latter, hooray!) —Marco Polo 19:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The syntax of parser functions has changed (actually it changed soon after they were introduced, although Wikia was stuck with that particular version for a long while). Se ParserFunctions (however, they are still be broken temporarily while the upgrade is finalized). --Splarka (talk) 22:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * At the moment, though, I see that neither nor  work. Once these updates are complete, what am I to expect? Can I expect StringFunctions and DynamicFunctions as well? In fact, before, only expr, switch, and ifeq existed. Will we be getting if, ifexpr, and ifexist? Is it safe to proceed with #switch on the assumption that it will work once the update completes? —Marco Polo 23:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, they are all still broken. See Upgrade_bugs for updates. StringFunctions and DynamicFunctions are not official functions, but the author User:Algorithm has written them for Uncyclopedia, and several of his extensions have been adopted Wikia-wide (such as forum and choose), so it is possible. I'd hold off changing anything until the ParserFunctions start working properly. --Splarka (talk) 23:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
