Hi Katherine
My english is bad (I'm sorry). I like to have the wiki http://mathema.wikia.com

Do you talk spanish? and the Wikia's Staff?

For me it would be of big help if someone of you will speak Spanish to me.

Thank you!!!

ru.math.wikia.org
Thanks for approving the project. I have a question for you. It's here. Let me know what you think. Thanks a bunch. ПБХ 00:44, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I already went on IRC and had someone else do a rename for me. so nevermind! Thanks again. Don't worry about this thing being left unedited. ПБХ 01:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi again! It's been brought to my attention that although you made me a bureaucrat and admin of ru.math, I don't control its mailing list. It could be a useful feature in future, so would you mind making me the "owner" of that, too? ПБХ 03:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Staff Bot
Hi Catherine! This is a reminder note. We discussed the creation of a staff bot on the IRC channel. Please let me know when this is up and working, as I would probably find it very useful. Thanks, -- TaviRider 17:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Request
Catherine, I have a request to make of you. I've been doing a lot fo work lately at the Harry Potter Fanon Wiki. There is an active number of contributors, but the founder seems to be inactive and never appointed any sysops or bureaucrats. If you could appoint a sysop or two, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ajrand (Signal) 20:01, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Catherine. Your help is greatly valued. Cheers! Ajrand (Signal) 23:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

My SonicYouthWiki Request
On the Request Wiki, I requested a wiki about the band Sonic Youth. I looked around and thought you might be the person I should ask about it. I made this request in April, and it says "I will recieve an email about it soon", but I have not recieved one since then. I've been wanting to get started on this wiki for a while. Is there anything you can do? The link to it is here. Thanks. --Giggity Griffin 22:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Please?
Hello, CatherineMunro, would you please make me an admin on Bioniclepedia? I've wanted this for a long time!!!! Please? Please contact me on my talk. Just click "Say Something Here".-HR {Tell me about it!} 02:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Astronomy
I was planning to make changes along the lines of your suggestions. This whole thing is an experiment, as you can see... much learning still to be done. Is this what you had in mind? I wasn't sure if I had the right/knowledge/experience to mess with the "community portal" and since it was blank, I was reluctant to just start creating it. I hope I've done the right thing. One of the exciting things about this "social experiment" is the number of my OLD students that have created accounts and looked around. They are from the previous 3 years, so far. Wish me luck.

YouTube fix
Sweet, thanks a lot. Especially for a wiki exclusively about YouTube, this will make things a lot easier to work with.--Jonpro 03:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

ffxi.wikia.com
Hello, I am an administrator for FFXIclopedia, we have been having hacker issues today and they stumbled across the ffxi.wikia.com domain, any help you can provide against these vandals would be appreciated. Known IPs are 74.236.216.189, 68.9.87.230, and 195.177.250.222. -- 01:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply and course of action, hopefully when the move to Wikia is finalized, everything will be A-ok! -- 05:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry to keep bugging you, but a bit of cleanup is required again, pretty much all recent mainspace edits. You'll hear a lot less from me if you guys give me my sysop privileges over at ffxi.wikia, I'll be able to monitor it myself and deal with the vandals and stop coming to you every time someone decides to be "creative" hehe. -- 03:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Logo Help...
I accidently uploaded an image under the Wiki logo, and it has messed up my page. Could you fix this?

UPDATE: Looks like it's gone. Not sure if you removed it or someone else.

Thanks

How to get wiki listed in directory?
Hi Catherine - The basics of the Chains of Reason wiki are almost in place. Is it up to me to add a link to it from Philosophy_and_Religion when it is ready? Please reply on my talk page, thanks. Derrick Farnell 07:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Adverts!
Hi Catherine

It looks as though adverts have now been added to the Musicality wiki - and perhaps to others as well. I appreciate the need for revenue, but I do think it's a bit sad. If we're going to have adverts, they could at least be relevant. Dave2010 18:32, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Catherine

Thanks for the quick reply. Obviously I didn't notice any significant adverts before, though I can understand that they may always have been part of the business model. Thanks for explaining that. I still think that something must have changed, so that I now find the adverts more noticeable. Perhaps there have been template changes, or format changes recently.

From the point of view of the advertiser this may be a good thing, but they seem (a) more intrusive and (b) not always so relevant to me. If we could have adverts from concert promoters, CD companies, broadcasters and/or other arts related organisations - e.g opera companies, art galleries, museums etc that'd be better. Also, are the adverts geographically located? Could a reader in the UK see details of UK radio, TV, concerts etc, while readers in Australia or the USA would see details of events relevant to them?

Do you actively try to attract advertisers, and if so, who deals with that? Dave2010 09:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

How Can i Create Templates?
I need this to administrate my wikia how can i do that? , thanks !!! User:Envidia
 * Template are "stored" in a separate namespace. Thus, their name always begin with "Template:". You can, for exemple,  directly in the search box or in the url of the browser. Or you can edit any page to include the template, enven before creating it, by typing  in the code.  TulipVorlax 09:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Image upload problem
Hi, I'm encountering various image upload problem on the newly created fr.3d wikia. I've uploaded the logo and then, all subsequent upload try has given me en error message in french (it's a french wiki) stating "failled to copy the file from path to another path". But thoses images files were having accentuated letter in them so i've try with only normal letters. There is the result :. It say the image is 0x0 pixel and 0 bytes. Weird. So, i'll have to wait for this bug to be fixed before any upload attempt. Thanks in advance for your help. See ya. TulipVorlax 09:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * i dont know if someone has done something but it seem ok now. Many thanks. TulipVorlax 16:44, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Questions
hi, i have some questions Is it possible to make a 'timeline', like it's done here? And the Special:Activeusers, when will it be refreshed (at Wikistad?) because I have the impression that it isn't refreshed for a long time at Wikistad. 17:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Templates and Moderation Permissions
Hi hi, Catherine! Lil from the Earthen Ring Wiki here. Two questions:

When a user creates a new page on our wiki, they have the ability to choose from several templates we have created for them. We have a new template, but are unable to add it to this selection because we forgot the pages one has to edit! Could you give me a series of the necessary links for one of the existing templates so I can recreate it?

Also, we have a user we wish to revoke moderator permissions for. How are we able to do this?

Thanks!

--Lilithia 17:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Update

 * Never mind about the new page templates! I had a sudden inspiration and figured it out myself.  However, we still have a problem with the templates; they show blank cells if fields are not filled in.  I know that there is a way to hide those cells, but reading the code is making my head hurt.  Could you help us convert those frequently-used templates to the better format?


 * Thanks for your help!


 * --Lilithia 19:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Templates

 * Two of our main templates need converted:


 * Biobox should have subject_name, faction, guild, race, and class appear at all times--the rest of the rows may be hidden if not filled out.


 * Guildbox should have website, contacts, and gsize rows disappear if not filled out. All others should show at all times.


 * If you have any questions, give me a yell. Thank you very much for doing this for us!


 * --Lilithia 11:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Update?

 * I saw that you worked on the templates a bit. What were your conclusions?


 * --Lilithia 20:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Moved wiki ?!
Some wikia wikis have a line on their main page saying they have moved. Like this one :. Should we remove thoses or leave them be until someone revive the wiki (adoption) ? Thanks. TulipVorlax 07:41, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Changing the Default Skin
Hi Catherine,

I'm a co-administrator at a new wiki here, and am looking to change our default skin from QuartzSmoke to QuartzSlate. And I've been told that I need to reach someone from the staff to make this happen... can you help change our wiki's theme over?

Old admins
The Fiction wikia has two inactive sysops, Dantman and Jmoysae, and I remember reading from somewhere that they're supposed to be desysopped to prevent problems later on (which I never understood why).

Halo Fanon
There is an issue that has come to my attention, after my long leave of absense, that I would like to talk to you about. I would prefer we talk in IRC, or perhaps via email. If I'm on IRC, you can likely query me under the name Rotaretilbo. I would much appreciate your time. Thanks.
 * -- Master Gunnery Sergeant  Hank J Wimbleton IV COMHalo: Galaxy 17:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

It has been a while since I left this message, but it has also been a while since I was on IRC. However, I would still like to discuss a problem at the Halo Fanon Wiki. And, in case you are wondering, no it is not a local problem that could be solved by the administration. Its a problem I, as one of the Bureaucrats, as well as another Bureaucrat, have with our third Bureaucrat. Because he is also a Bureaucrat, I don't believe we have the power to deal with the problem fully, which is why I have contacted you. However, I would still like to discuss this privately. Email would probably be best, as I don't know the ins and outs of IRC the way most do. I believe there is a function on Wikia that allows you to email me without me publicly divulging my email address, so we'll stick with that. I await your response. Thank you for your time.
 * -- Master Gunnery Sergeant  Hank J Wimbleton IV COMHalo: Galaxy 07:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Some form of response on my talk page would be appreciated. If you sent the email, it was caught in my spam filter (which contains thousands of messages, and thus means that searching through it would be near impossible). If you resolved the issue with the other Bureaucrat I mentioned above who might share my feelings, then thank you. However, as far as I know, the issue stands, and as such, I will require your assistance. This is an issue I'd rather like to talk about.

Feature request
I was just told to ask you in regards to a feature request for Wookieepedia. Rather, a feature removal request.

[10:05]  Question for the group: Who do I ask to get a feature turned off? [10:11]  Short answer, staff. Longer answer requires which feature. [10:12]  Tagging. We decided months ago to have it turned off but nobody has ever asked Wikia to do so. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Mofferences/Log/2007_September_9 [10:12]  message Catherine on wikia central [10:13]  http://wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:CatherineMunro

Anyway, as indicated by the chat log, we decided to have image tagging turned off back at our last IRC conference (toward the bottom, around 3:34) but nobody ever made any move toward actually doing it. We decided to replace both tagging and galleries with categories like Memory Alpha. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

 * That's no longer possible; Wikia is switching to Quartz skins as the default. You can still use Monobook as your personal skin, but site-wide it will have to be one of the Quartz types.

PhloxBot Needs a Bot flag
(repost after wierd database glitch:) At Jack Phoenix's suggestion, I am contacting a member of the community team to get a Bot flag for c:psyschology:User:PhloxBot, and c:genealogy:User:PhloxBot. The problem is that unlike WP, bureacrats cannot assign bot flags. Apparently, only members of the community team can deal with this. We have already had one instance of bad vandalization on psychology that was not obvious due to a PhloxBot run. Psych founder Joe Kiff, and genealogy honcho Robin Patterson approve this status for PhloxBot.

I would have sent this to a community team forum or mail list, but the general community contacts page has no such link.

Thank you. ~  Ph l o x  17:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
