SgW Wikia... sort of.
Hi Angela,

Just wondering if it is possible to prevent users from editing if they aren't logged in? Don't plan to use it on my Wikia, but we use one at school to keep a database for science stuff, and we only want teachers to be able to contribute, using their own account. Is such a thing possible? They are running on v2.0 of the MediaWiki code.

Cheers,

 * Yes, it's possible. See Preventing Access. Angela talk 08:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

When
When can I become a sysop on the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Wiki? I don't mean now. Just whenever how many edits... how many edits do I have to have? --Bender Bending Rodriguez 01:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * There isn't a need for you to be an admin anywhere else. You seem to be trying to collect adminships. It's not a trophy. Angela talk 08:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Recently
I recently started the article Aboutus.org on Wikipedia- surprised it was not there yet! The editors have attempted a speedy deletion without even checking to see the large volume of search results on GOOGLE. I felt it was similar to DMOZ and deserved to be listed as it is a very open directory wiki style and has over 80 million page view as per ALEXA. I am only writing because When looking for references.... I saw your link on the Ray King talk page. Please see the new AboutUs.org article and see the rebuffing of a relevant topic.--162.83.180.170 20:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I think the site is too new to meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. Feel free to write about it on the Internet Wikia instead though. Angela talk 08:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Warriors Wiki
Recently, I discovered the Warriors Wiki... It was in disrepair, and the founder hasn't touched it since 13 August 2006. I've been working on it, sprucing, organizing, and drawing in people I feel can do it justic and help get matters in order..

But... I'm concerned about the Wiki itself... The fandom is made up of many young and enthusiastic people. Without an active person with sysop status...

I sent an email to Oglog on, the 30th of November (I belive) but have yet to receive any sort of response. I feel like introducing the Wiki to the fandom of the series would help get the place created and suchlike, but without someone at the helm to maintain order... I fear unleashing the fans of the series...

 * I've made you an admin there. Angela talk 08:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Either the change didn't take.. Or I possess a complete inabilty to locate the functions for things such as deleting a page (some title corrections have been made, so some things have been completely moved to new titles.) Kitsufox 16:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * That's odd. Try it again now. Angela talk 05:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It worked this time around. Must have been being moody. Thank you very much! Kitsufox 04:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Ads on Runescape Wiki
I've seen your forum post re: changing the advertising provider for rs wiki.

I can see that we're playing a game of whack-a-mole with the google ads, so yes sounds like a good idea! --Eucarya 10:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Dungeons and Dragons wiki
I would like to adopt the Dungeons and Dragons Wikia, dnd.wikia.com. I have already started working on it (and some other people woke up too, I suppose more will come when the changes reach Google). It had only 76 articles and was left effectively abandoned for quite some time, but now we have 138 articles (mostly NOT stubs), it's growing, it has news section which gets regularly updated, etc. I'm almost sure this will revitalise it and attract new contributors. However, there are things which I need admin rights for (e.g., locking pages and vandalism rollback), which cannot be given to me easily because the only bureaucrat has left WikiCities a long time ago. Ian, a fellow Wikian and a founder of White Wolf Wikia, advised me to contact you. Can you make me a new "founder" for Dungeons and Dragons Wikia?

P.S.: w:c:pl.dnd and polaqu: Wikias and still out of my reach. I'm a D&D expert, but I'm afraid I don't speak even a tiniest bit of Polish ;)

 * You're now an admin at dnd. Angela talk 05:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

new admin at novelas.wikia
16:04, 3 December 2006 Angela changed group membership for User:Yunzhong Hou from (none) to sysop

On what grounds was Yunzhong Hou made sysop at novelas.wikia? This user does not seem to know what is going on, and in particular does not seem to understand the basic idea of working with a community to reach decisions. --JWSchmidt 04:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry for any problems that caused. He said he needed admin rights to clear up some problem pages. I'll remove that now and wait for the community there to decide who should be an admin. Angela talk 05:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I was more looking for information than requesting a reversal of your action. Yunzhong Hou is willing to do sysop chores, which is a good thing. You are correct, the community should discuss the matter. Thanks for your continued support! --JWSchmidt 23:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Editing StarCraft Main Page, Again
The featured article section of is permanently bolded, which makes that section a bit ugly. Do you know how to turn that off? PsiSeveredHead 00:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

RPG Maker Wikia, Lead Admin Missing
I am from the RPG Maker Wiki and along with Abyssal_leviathin I've been working on revitalizing the wiki itself through a reorganization attempt. Thing is, Abyssal_leviathin has disappeared without a trace. He founded that Wikia, and he's the only one I know who is an admin there. I've tried contacting him in any way I can (various email addys, IMs, various forum PMs, etc.) over the last month or so but I haven't received any response other than a short note that he's been having computer issues. (see the mainpage for details) If he's vanished, is there any way I can contact another "sysop" (I think that's what it's called) to work with or maybe somehow arrange to become an admin myself so I can just get it done? (deleting excess categories, pages, etc., then laying out the framework as seen on the Category Planning page) Can you determine if there are any other sysops on that Wikia and/or how I can locate a user that is one? I can't seem to find any clues as to which users are sysops. (if any are even active) --Invisionary 23:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I've sent you a reply by email. Angela talk 16:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Importing From Another Wiki?
Hello once again Angela. I have recently created an EditThis.info wiki which gives access to import. How do you import from other wikis? --Bender Bending Rodriguez 22:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know if they offer that service. If you want to import into Wikia, let me know. Angela talk 08:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
