Project Pages
Hi, this is Midnitesky. I was wondering if you know how to create "Project Pages", which the wikis I've been to all have. I need some help on that for my own wiki. So I hope you can help me! Thanks, 20:26, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Midnitesky, I am not quite sure what you are referring to. Can you link an example here? Thanks, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 20:44, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Your request of feedback
Sorry to bring this to your page, but I did not receive any reply regarding it on the blog. On the Experience the new Wikia blog, you wrote:


 * "The right sidebar, containing content modules such as recently added images or Wikia activity, will appear on all wiki pages. We would love to hear what other modules the community is interested in having there, so please feel free to let us know using the feedback tool or special contact. We’re currently thinking about future modules which might for example allow to include infoboxes or other article specific information here. As for the Go link issue, please see Tim’s comment below. Thanks!"

Being able to place the infoboxes in there is a very nice (partial) solution to one of the major problems (and sources of complaints against you). Infoboxes and other large things like that (or long tables of content/toc with long headings) are just not practical with this new look. I am all for this if it is technically feasible. Please have your tech guys give serious consideration to this.

However, I fear that your post on that blog is going to be lost under the torrent of posts about the skin. This is already on page 3 of the blog's comments and not that many people are going to go back that far when reading over the blog. So if you are serious about asking for user feedback on this, please create a new blog post dedicated to this or have it edited into the blog post itself (rather than have it as a comment), so that people will actually see it. Thanks 22:19, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * HI Yyp, thanks for reposting your feedback here. There has been a ton of activity there, but we are reading and noting feedback we are getting. We will continue to post there, and will definitely ask for more feedback on future changes and products. Thanks, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 20:48, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Beta Questions
Sarah, I saw the Recent Changes and I saw you adding users to the Beta program. The one question I have is that I recieved an email on August 25 asking if I wanted to participiate in the Beta Program, and if I wanted to all I had to do was reply. I replied stating "Yes I will be more than happy to participate in the Beta Testing program and follow the agreements listed." However I never got a response to my message and I assumed that you had reached your limits on the beta program. So I hope you can clear up any confusion that I'm having. Thanks in advance.

 * Hi Lancer1289. It appears that they never received the agreement back from you. If you resend it, I can help to get you the rights. Best, Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 21:03, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just resent the email, so hopefully this time you'll get it. Fingers crossed. Lancer1289 02:29, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry but if you haven't gotten it by tomorrow, can you just post something here just so I know that you didn't get it. Thanks in advance Sarah. Lancer1289 02:43, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Stop please
Stop please. Everyone gets an Email that his or her rights have changed --Church of emacs 21:44, September 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't mind changing user rights for people, but I do consider emailing *everyone* with a confirmed email address spam. Please disable the email system for user rights changes and enable it again, after you're done. Thanks, --Church of emacs 21:49, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Church of emacs, only users who were switched into the beta group should have gotten an email about the rights change. If you want to change your email preferences, please visit your preferences and make that adjustment. Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 20:55, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Beta
Sarah: Why have I been placed in a Beta group? And without being asked? And what's with the forced makeover?

I am on a dialup connection on an older computer. I have no business being asked to beta-test anything except, perhaps, backwards compatibility. If this change to our Wikiae involves flashy shiny eye candy, my system will not support it--I will not support it. Do you know anyone on the Yahoo Groups team? --Because about 700,000 Yahoo Groups members and moderators just taught them an expensive lesson about forced conversions. (See Yahoo Groups Team blog for details, if you're interested.)

Please leave the option for a low-bandwidth skin, and please remove my Wikia from the Beta group. Thank you. Aldus Marius Peregrinus 01:22, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello Aldus, We added all admins on English wikis in the Lifestyle hub, since that will be the first group switched onto the new skin. We wanted to give you time to test out the new skin and use the theme designer. If you want me to remove your beta right, I can do so. Just let me know here. Best, --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 20:55, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the beta right
Thanks for the beta right wikia staff.--(-My user page / my talk page-)Monster2821 21:46, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

 * Welcome to Wikia Charukboy3000! It can take a while for a wiki to show up in google searches. We have a bunch of advice on how to improve your search results here. Enjoy! Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 20:58, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Cheers serah
