new skins
Re: your changes of the default skin on policypedia. Is the new skin design stable? They were working on all that chat stuff for the right hand column last summer and this look is completely different. Why should I invest more time in look and feel if the rug is going to get pulled out from under me? Jmesserly 00:19, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's stable. 08:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Extensions...
If you want to add an extension, such as collapsible tables, to a wiki, who would you ask for help? I'm trying that on the StarCraft wiki, but it doesn't work. Kimera 757 (talk) 11:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Collapsible tables aren't an extension - most use the code from w:c:help:Help:Dynamic navigation. 11:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the help, would you like to be an admin? -- User:Dark Energy 00:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I am too busy with other projects! Working for Wikia, I have admin rights on every wiki anyway (though I rarely use them), so it's not really important unless I am a frequent editor of a wiki. 13:06, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Skins issue
Hi Kirkburn, thanks for the help switching over to the Monaco theme on the SinsOfASolarEmpire wikia. After checking on the various versions, I selected the gaming theme as the probable best (this is a deep space game). However, two of the fields on the front page have black text on a dark blue background. I have tried fixing it with little success. If you have any thoughts on how to fix it, I would appreciate it. Strideth 07:25, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Having Issues
Hey Kirkburn; not sure if this is the write place, but I'm having troubles creating a page on my wiki Legacies of Cormanthyr. I'm attempting to create an article called Elves (no matter what I'm inputting), I get an error "This article already exists. Edit". Is there something you can do to help me out? Mendahu 00:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the report, which I have confirmed. I've passed it on to the tech team - they are working on it at the moment. 13:04, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Poll
Hey Kirkburn, Thanks for helping us out with the new changes at the Banjo-Kazooie Wiki. I had a question though, I took a look at the WoWWiki and saw their poll. How can we get our poll to be like theirs is in the left column. Thanks, Dekudan312


 * Fairly easily - it just requires a few tweaks to your MediaWiki:Common.css. If you want to try it yourself, look at and the section titled /* poll stuff */  20:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, so I got the poll to change to fit the left columns but I now can't get it to change colors.

Re: About nested td tags
I talked to you about 10 days ago about an html td tag problem I had. I brought it to Meta developer metawikipedia:User:Brion VIBBER. Here is the discussion we had:

This is pretty much what you had told me, that the mediawiki software wasn't up to date. Do you know if it is okay to ask to update the supcom wiki, or should I just wait for a wikia-wide update? I'm asking you because you are the person I've had the most contact with, but if you think someone else might be better suited, please redirect me :)

thx, happypal (Talk) Admin@SupCom.wikia.com 16:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Enabled the new parser :) 17:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Supcom wiki main page
I did some modifications. could you look at them?

I'm just wondering if it is possible to edit the column-left and column-right tags, so I don't have to put a table inside the entire column... But I haven't found where the tag is defined.

Also, when the window is a bit small, the columns overlap a bit. Do you think you would know how to fix it?

Sorry for the double post, but it's for different things. happypal (Talk) Admin@SupCom.wikia.com 16:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. You can't really edit the tags - I can only really point to w:c:help:Help:Main page column tags for information on what you can do.
 * As for the overlap, it's due to the images being side-by-side. Unfortunately there isn't a simple fix for this, other than reducing the size of the images. 17:10, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Burnopedia Update
Thanks for the help. I was wondering if you could edit our main page so as to make the second ad functional. Thanks. Exlonox 19:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC) of the Burnout Paradise Wiki


 * Done! 20:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for moving the article to my talk page. I was being an idiot and didn't realize that I this was actually a Wiki, I thought it was a page in our other Wiki, so I clicked on the link to get here and wrote an article that should have been on a different Wiki. Thanks for moving it.

Front Pages
Hey, nice job on the front page for the Burnopedia. Can i make a request for you to make another front page for a wiki? I really think that the Gran Turismo wiki needs a new front page. The reasons are on the pages' discussion page. Crashbroke23 17:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Xenosaga Wikia
Hi, I noticed you creating your user page in the recent changes log for the Xenosaga wiki. I was wondering if you could make both KOS-MOS Lover and me administrators there. The only sysop, Squall Deckiller, hasn’t made an edit in over a year. ➳ Quin 01:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

RuneScape Wikia and a Highly Disruptive User
Blankothe3rd has been disruptive, incivil, and has evaded blocks since January of this year. He's been perm blocked, but is still causing problems. -Arias Knight

 * I would need more specifics than that - it seems like somewhat of an internal wiki issue. If he is still causing problems on his talk page, then you can protect it. 10:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
Hello, and I was wondering is there a way someone on the wikia and upgrade me from an Admin to a Bureaucrat? Our only Bureaucrat and all our admins have been gone for weeks, and I could really use extra help, so I wanted to become a Bureaucrat so I could make some trusted users admins, thanks for you're help.

Also this is our wiki: http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page DeadCat 07:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I see their last edits were on 9th August - I would recommend asking PitchBlack. I'd rather have his agreement first.  10:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Star Fox Wiki
Thank you for your advice. I was just worried because the Wiki itself isn't fully developed yet. I had previously banned users named lario and lariocaro (both of them are one person) because they kept renaming articles and wouldn't stop even after I gave them a warning.

I will use my power wisely from now on and perhaps create a warning template.

Thanks again. --Blue Ninjakoopa 19:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppets?
Can I get a check users run on the following User Names: MMX4SSB; Range TE; Smasher201; BlackHedge. They all just showed up on the Smash Wiki and their only contributions have been a potential advertising page and arguing against deleting it. I'm pretty sure they're all the same user, but I wanted to confirm it before I let loose the bans. Thanks. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 20:52, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

WoWWiki
Hi Kirk!

Sorry about my pages! I will admit, I am a total NOOB at all this, didnt even know what the sandbox was. Read the help...got terribly confused...*sighs* You can actually delete my pages. Also, if I figure it out in the sandbox, can I move it to a finished, published page? Thanks!

Title blacklist for EVCHK.
I know that there is Extension:SpamBlacklist installed for anti-spam. And one of Community Team suggest me use that to protect articles to create.

However, I think Extension:Title Blacklist is better and easier for local wikia sysop to maintain.

May I request to install it for EVCHK?

Other questions: Should the Local Spam Blacklist add in MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist or MediaWiki:Blacklist title list ( such as c:evchk:MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist or c:evchk:MediaWiki:Blacklist title list)?

Also, I don't know whether the regular expressions of Spam Blacklist is in UTF-8 mode...

Oh, I forget saying that I'm one of sysop of evchk.:P --疾風綾希 18:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Heya. Can you request this via Special:Contact? It's somewhat out of my area of expertise - using that should make it easier to organise. Most of what I can offer is on w:c:help:Help:Spam 18:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Reply to "Help with user right setting"
aruarose.wikia.com we want to allow only registered user to lower chance of abuse the data, and also allows us to find who is doing the abuse if any. And so everyone knows who contributed because no one will know who people are through an ip address. If that is possible, then it will be great :) Zarela 09:11, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey it's Exlonox from the Burnout Paradise Wiki. Just thanking you for all of your help. Later, Exlonox] 19:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed, thanks for the help. I hate how people do that like they have nothing else better to do. Did you just happen to stumble across our wikia and notice? or do you watch parksters talk page? =p Rappy talk 20:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Exlonox pinged me - though I know of the Wikia anyway :) 20:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know you know of it, I have seen your page there. Was just curious how you knew is all. =) Also, do you know why I can't seem to fetch my template from there to here? should work right? or am I doing something wrong? Rappy talk 20:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Scary transclusion, as it is called, only works from Wikia Central out to other wikis - you can read more about it on w:c:help:Help:Shared templates. Generally, avoid it, it's more intended as a maintenance and Wikia admin thing. 21:00, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Rappy talk 21:05, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

While I'm here
I understand your logic and I will unprotect the page, but I must say that it's quite unfair how he hid insults in summaries while deleting my warnings. As the title of this section states, can you tell me where I can find a good logo maker? Kirby Wiki is in great need of a new logo.  Blue Ninjakoopa Talk to me 00:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Custom namespaces
Hi. I'm from RuneScape Wiki. Firstly, I would like to know if our "Exchange" and "Update" namespaces are listed as content namespaces. If so, I would like to request that it is revised to show up as non-content namespaces.

After the upgrade to 1.13, our article count jumped significantly, and I think these two namespaces are contributing to the count. These namespace are not used for articles, and should not add to the article count.

I know it has something to with "$wgContentNamespaces", but I'm not familiar with "LocalSettings.php". Az 17:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Burnopedia
Not sure what's up, or if there is anything you can do to determine the problem, but for some reason, I can't load many/any pages on our wikia. I keep getting the same error over and over: Connection Interrupted The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again. I can load other web sites just fine, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet connection. If I am barking up the wrong tree enlisting you for help on this, please direct me to the proper person so I can find out what's going on. Thanks. Rappy talk 21:47, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll get it looked into. 14:55, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated. I noticed a few days ago that the monobook theme was no longer showing up for me, and now I can't even get into my preferences/user page/talk page or anything, but for some reason I can load up the 'history' pages from the 'page edited' emails I keep getting.  Someone is able to edit pages, but I am not sure if anyone else is having the same problems I am with the site as I cannot edit a page to find out to save my life.

Halogalacticwars Wikia
Hi, I'm Matt-256, one of the two admins on the Halogalacticwars wikia. The wiki has been abandoned as of lately, but I'm planning to resurrect it, so, I hope you could spare a little time to help me with HGW wiki's template problems. I'm also considering to change the wiki's name to something more appropriate, so could you help me with that too? I'm not that good at wikia coding and stuff, and it's said that you're good in these areas, so I hope you have some time over. If you don't have time, then could you tell me of someone else that could help? Cheers,

Matt-256 23:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

A few problems
Hi there, it's the parkster. I'm just dropping by to ask whether you can help me with my signature. Obviously the users here don't like me having a template for my sig and so i have to put it as a user page extra but i can't seem to get my preferences nickname slot to show the contents of this page. Could you please help. Also my wiki (Burnout Paraidse Wiki) wants its name changing to burnopedia (officially) but to the burnout wiki on the URL. Could you please sort this otu for me as i've already tried but wikia gaming and central have failed to fix it. Thanks for you time, &#123;&#123;SUBST:User:The parkster/signature code}} 12:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * WW:SIG on WoWWiki may be able to help you. At a glance though, you may not have "Raw signature" ticked? For the wiki name - you want the name of the site as "Burnopedia", but the address to be the same? 11:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Monaco Sidebar not changing
I've saved and re-saved various times, refreshed and even purged with ?action=purge the mainpage, but still the changes i make to Mediawiki:Monaco_sidebar doesn't appear on the sidebar it self, even though the page now reorts the correct list. What should I do? OriginalBBB


 * Wait a few minutes - perhaps up to an hour. It could be cached. If it's not changing after that, I recommend contacting us. Kirkburn (talk) 11:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

It's over 40 hours now


 * Aha, it's because the default language of the wiki is Italian. If you view the wiki on Italian, the sidebar is correct. I am not sure if that is how it is supposed to work. I will ask. 13:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Maybe.....but What do you mean by saying, viewing the sidebar in italian? How do I chang the sidebar language?


 * From sannse: "you will only see the edited version if you are logged out, or logged in with your preferences set for the same language as the wiki. If you are viewing in English, you will see the English default (or the local English version if there is on)".
 * This means, on it.opensource, you edit Monaco-sidebar for the Italian interface, and Monaco-sidebar/en for the English interface (I have done this on your wiki). The help pages are not very good at explaining this at the moment - we'll try and improve them. 15:21, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, thanks a lot!!! Where can I find information on this language problem? Where can i change on my profile the default language of view of my wiki? Is there antwhere a list of mediawiki pages? To know better what to try in other cases, if not it will always be a odissey


 * Wouldn't it make sense for an Italian wiki to use an Italian interface by default? You can change your own interface from Special:Preferences, but if you want to change the default, I recommend asking via Special:Contact. For help with the Monaco MediaWiki messages, I recommend w:c:help:Help:Customizing Monaco. The help wiki has lots of other help too. 19:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I was asking for that Special:preferences. Tnks on more time

We have an issue on TibiaWiki. On e.g. the Runes page (a list of all seperate rune pages) the images are showing up, despite being noincluded. See the discussion here.

Extension
what would it take to get this installed on tibia? -- Sixorish 19:24, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, it's just a case of enabling it for certain user groups - try requesting it via Special:Contact. 20:23, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh right, wasn't thinking when I said 'extension'. One more question, not that I'm considering this, but would it be possible to limit people to the namespace they edit until they contribute a number of times elsewhere? I'm asking this because people tend to sign up and use the wiki as a blog and don't really do anything outside of their userpage, and it's really irritating because we don't have any policy against it.. -- Sixorish 05:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it's technically feasible, but something we'd want to avoid doing due to the limitations it can place on users ... might making that policy (or guideline) be a good idea? Along the lines of "this wiki is not a personal blog, please do not edit solely in your user area". 11:51, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
