2 more requests for 2 wikias
Hi there, it's me E-Wrestling Encyclopedia's bureaucrat Sundogs and I like to receive more help from you. Let me just say that I am also a bureaucrat at Roller Derby Wiki and Soap Opera Wiki. I have messaged the other administrators about the change of skins at Roller Derby and Soap Opera Wikias. Also, the other administrators have also requested a new logo for these wikias. At Soap Opera, the color scheme needs to be bright to light coloring and also to be vibrant as well. One administrator suggest that the logo show be a television set, but, I don't mind what it comes out to be. Over at Roller Derby Wiki, the color scheme should be tan in color and the logo should be a whistle or a pair of roller skates, or both. I leave you to do your creative duties. I know that you can do the best for these two wikias. You can leave me a message over at E-Wrestling Encyclopedia or at the other wikias (Roller Derby Wiki and or Soap Opera Wiki). Thanks for your excellent help. Sundogs user talk 14:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, could you create a new logo for Crash Bandicoot wiki, one that fits the monobook skin as well as monaco. Make it like Wikipedia's logo only CB themed.  KrazyKat Talk to me! 23:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah
Yeah, i'm still around and i'm starting to get on more now and keep check because of Fable II. I haven't been on as much recently as i've had computer difficulties, but now im back and ready for October 24th =] Kadajvince 10:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

JGE Wiki
Heya JoePlay, it's Mulligan from the new Jumpgate Evolution wiki. Thanks for the post on my talk (and sorry I've not got back to you yet - I've been AWOL for a few weeks).

We moved the wiki over from my old hosting, which I why I was the sole SysOp and we'd not got around to working out who was going to end up with elevated privileges, but yeah I'm definitely aware of my position. I think the plan moving forwards is to chat more with Awen, NetDevil's Community Manager for Jumpgate Evolution and then get some of the regular contributors a little more empowered. I'm still pretty new to MediaWiki myself so if I have any queries, I'll drop you a line. Thanks again for your help (especially with the pretty-damned-cool looking skin).

See you in space ;)

Thanks
Thanks for checking up on me at Gasopedia - The Bristol Rovers Wiki, everyone here seems very friendly and helpful. Things are going well thanks, but I'll be sure to come and ask you if I have any problems. Thanks for your help so far with the logo and setting the skin to a more suitable colour. &mdash; Gasheadsteve (talk) 09:25, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

MediaWiki extensions?
Hey Joe,

Is there any way to get support for the MediaWiki video extensions? I noticed they didn't function here; at least not using the default settings.

Thanks! Aeo 20:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

One more question on videos
Hello again Joe,

Thanks so much for your fast reply. I do have one important question regarding the Wiki format that you all use here. Is there a way to declare a width? I know under the mediawiki format I can just add a |220 for a 220px video. For example, in the newly created "media" section on the front page of the JGE wiki, I really don't want a full sized feed.

Here's an example, from another of my projects: http://torwiki.com/

Thanks again, hope there's a way to make this work!

update
No worries, I figured it out. An aspect-ratio calculator is really helpful though. I had to get the original Flash dimensions from Gametrailers then calculate the appropriate fraction - then add width/height values. All good now. Between that and the 3 thumbs I think our front page looks a LOT sharper.

Uhhh...
To tell you the truth, I've never recieved a message like that before. Can you tell me what it means?  Blue Ninjakoopa Talk to me 22:53, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. :)  Blue Ninjakoopa Talk to me 00:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Gaming wiki titles
In reference to the expanded titles of the gaming wikis, does having the expanded title on each page really help with search engines? I know search engines can be counter-intuitive at times, but I would think that, for example, having "classes" in the title of w:c:nwn:race would confuse search engines more than help (since that page would not be a good match for a search for "classes"). Or is the point to get our pages to come up on searches, regardless of what someone is searching for? I think a shorter title on each page other than the main page would look better to the human readers, but I would like to know the rationale for the longer titles before deciding which titles I think NWNWiki should use. --The Krit 18:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Fable Wikia
It looks like the Fable wiki could use a couple admins, don't you think? Pages to delete, spammers to ban. Philnelson 19:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll do it if Philnelson doesn't take the job. Although I know just about everything there is to know about the first Fable game, I don't know anything about Fable II. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 03:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
