Bug with thumb images
It seems there is a major issue wrt thumb images, I don't know if it is specific to our wiki or not. A lot of them are now invisible when the size is insufficient. This affect the c:onepiece:Special:NewFiles, the images categories and some galleries (check the 4th image of this one). Thanks for your help Kdom 19:05, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

It seems we are not the only one from this forum : Forum:Disappearing images. I just hope you will find what's wrong soon after the week-end. Kdom 12:09, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

OK thanks, also I'm not sure to understand exactly how new servers make image thumbnails bug, that's not very clear from the article. But shouldn't it be wise to make a global warning on that subject like I have sometime (currently it's an add for the staff blog). I suppose I'm not the only one who was disturb by this behaviour. Kdom 18:00, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. We're aware of the image problem and we're working to fix it. You can find out more information about that here, and you can watch the staff blog to follow any new updates. Thanks for your patience! =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:31, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Gallery update has been plagued with errors
RE: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Sarah_Manley/Design_your_own_photo_galleries

Please just revert to the old version until all the numerous bugs are figured out. Every week you post that there are more errors and that you are working on those errors. please just revert to the old version. Anno1404 06:53, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Help with some templates
Hello there sir. I've been working on adding some of the templates featured in the Wikia Templates area, particularly the game character infoboxes, onto the Vanquish Wiki for use. I've been modding said infobox in my personal sandbox on said wiki, and the only problem I have now is rendering the font in white. I can't seem to do it. Seeing that you are the top user at the Templates Wiki, I thought you could help. Here's the link to said sandbox. As I await your reply, maestro ^_^ -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 10:17, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Never mind, I've already asked someone else on the Templates wiki...Thanks anyways =D -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 10:33, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Missing wiki functions?
Hi, I'm one of the admins in the Mega Man wiki and noticed interwikis and JavaScript player aren't working. How they can be enabled? --Quick (talk) 00:04, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I suggest asking via Special:Contact. Was the stuff previously working? 12:21, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * No. Recently the interwiki to the German wiki started working, but other languages only show a red link. --Quick (talk) 21:28, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, then certainly something for Special:Contact - they should be able to sort you out. 15:44, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

I am Malikar102 from www.anewhope.com, i saw that you looked at my page so i thought i'd look at yours and i must say its very impressive.

Adoption request
Hey Kirkburn, I opened an adoption request for the Template Wikia a few days ago (only because it was suggested by the staffer who responded to my Special:Contact message), and after asking Fandyllic about it (he's fine with it himself), he suggested I ask you as well; I don't suppose you'd mind? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:33, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've still not managed to get back to working on it more. I'll have a check whether there are any objections and get back to you. (Note: it's still a semi-official wiki). 14:32, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

WoWWiki getting any help?
Hey Kirkburn, I noticed you've mostly been staying out of the whole WoWWiki/Wowpedia thing, but do you know if Wikia is planning to give any help keeping WoWWiki alive? The only real admin there now is Deadlykris and he doesn't seem too interested in maintaining it, since he doesn't play WoW anymore and his real loyalty lies with The Vault. Also, it is getting flooded with fanfic and very few Cataclysm updates.

Are you planning to get back involved with WoWWiki or is Wikia just planning to let it sort of wither away, but try to collect ad revenue until it is truly dead?

...and no, I don't want to be an admin there again, but I am concerned with its fate. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:48 PM PST 21 Nov 2010


 * Yeah I've generally been staying out of active stuff (way too stressful ... not stopping me playing WoW of course - just resurrected my oldest character, an original warlock :) ). Anyway, we don't plan to let it die - the main issue atm is ensuring there's people to look after it, and we're looking to see what we can do there (with myself advising in a passive capacity). We want to it continue to be healthy competition for wowpedia. I don't know if I will get involved again ... possibly. 13:13, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Is there any specific Wikia staff person assigned to WoWWiki besides you? It sure seems to be dying. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 2:37 PM PST 22 Nov 2010


 * Not specifically to edit (since that's not really our capacity), but certainly discussion and monitoring is ongoing (Joe, sannse, and others). We are looking at more ways to help. 22:21, November 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Let it die and wither peacefully. There's little hope for WoWWiki at this point. --Havenstrom 15:40, November 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Havenstrom, I wanted to disagree with you, but now... w:c:wow:Forum:WoWWiki's death blow%3F Blizzard tacitly endorses Wowpedia. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:56 AM PST 4 Dec 2010

difficulty making createplates
Hello, I'm trying to have createplates on my own wiki. I follewed instructions on the Help:CreatePlates page, and I think I did do the necessary. But my createpage isn't changed at all..! I ask for solution on the community forum, and someone told me about a New Layout Builder, compatible with skin Monaco(?), and I'm wondering if I could rebuild my createpage with this like example below : http://dustloop.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Createpage --Cafeinlove 04:36, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most of it should be feasible, with the layoutbuilder, yeah. CreatePage is no longer really supported (it will likely disappear at some point in the future, no ETA yet) - whilst LayoutBuilder, which you could view as CreatePage v2, is under continued development. If you haven't already, you can read more about it here: . 16:16, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

NAVBAR
Hello, I am the creator of the erebuswarmod wikia, and I have a tab on the Navbar up top of the page, one labeled popular pages, one is weapons, and the one I need help with is the Ships dropdow, I have created multiple ship classes, I can't however place the ship classes into the dropdown menu, I was wondering if you could help with that. Um any help would be appreciated thank you. -- chance.purvisLong live SARIS&#91;SARI&#93; 21:22, January 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * See http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Wiki_navigation for help editing the menu - currently it shows the top two categories, with labels you defined. The top categories can switch around, so you might want to make it more specific. 14:01, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

May I have a moment of your time?
I couldn't help but notice that the Tamplets on each section (on Harry potter wiki) were designed in a very unique way. I also noticed similar styles on other wikipedia (Such as the StarWars Wiki.) uhm, http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Dark_wizard_infobox. By any chance do you know if this is unique only to certain wiki? Or is there a way to configure the biography the same on other wikis as well? Because when I tried to use it, other than it appearing as does on the other wikis the bottom half is configured as a 'Square' shape. Do you get what I am trying to say? Like so:


 * You want to use a rounded corner at the bottom? The harrypotter example appears to do it in a pretty crude fashion - it's just rows with progressively shorter widths. I suggest checking out the code to see how they're done it - the CSS they use is in under 'rounded corners'. (Border radius via CSS is generally a better way to do it these days - though IE doesn't support it yet, and it's not as easy to do with tables.)  16:28, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Need help with WoWWiki portal stuff
I don't know how much you were involved with the WoWWiki portal stuff, but I'm trying to add a Burning Crusade portal, but I guess I don't understand how it works. Can you help? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Feb 2011 11:32 AM Pacific


 * I did much of the portals individually, but the linking them together part (the funky JS stuff) was a bit beyond me. I think you have the right idea so far ... Template:Wwp just looks like the annoying one. Excellent idea, btw!


 * Edit: mostly working now! Just trying to work out why the TBC tab doesn't highlight. 20:12, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done! Might possibly need an action=purge in one or two places. 20:25, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool. I'll take a look at what you did and hopefully learn something. Otherwise, I hope all is well with you. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Feb 2011 5:51 PM Pacific

Re: New poll system (monster hunter wikia)
Hello Kirkburn,

I just noticed your message on my talk page in which you, to my pleasure (thought it's incorrect as far as I am concerned) said you contacted me about the new poll system because I'm the most resent admincrat (my own term) to edit the wiki. xD Not true I believe, but that is of no importance.

I have just decided to give this new special:createpoll a try WITHOUT the use of the rich editor and I immediately noticed something odd about it. When I hit "publish" nothing happens. It's like mashing a colorful button which looks interesting in the hopes of it doing something while it serves no purpose at all. lol

I do not know if this is a temporary bug or has something to do with the fact I'm using Internet Explorer as my browser at the moment, but I still wanted to report this (probable) issue with the new poll creator.

Not much I can add to it there, on my end it looks like a bug causing the feature to malfunction. If that is the case I hope to see it fixed in the near future if possible. :)

Kind regards,

Artemis Paradox (talk) 23:11, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hrm ... that's annoying! Just did some quick testing, I believe I've spotted the issue. Will get it looked at! 12:09, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hello again. ^_^

Hey ehm... was wondering if the issue was already tackled. I just gave it another try (no rich editor once again, got no clue if that makes a difference and yes I want to try it with the rich editor but my stupid PC keeps on lagging till next week if I try that) xD.

Anywho, it seems the problem with the publish button still exists. If the technical team had already tried to fix it, please assemble the A-Team to have another look. :P If they haven't worked on it yet, you could basically ignore this message.

Looking forward to being able to use this new option. :)

Greetings,

Artemis Paradox (talk) 10:05, March 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just had a check - it's still high up on the list to fix. Shouldn't be too long before the techs get to it. :) 11:24, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

New poll question - see poll results without voting?
Quick question. Is there a way to see the results of a new poll without voting? This is a standard feature in ost other web poll features. Maybe this is accessible, but it isn't obvious to me. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 5 Mar 2011 9:58 PM Pacific


 * If it isn't directly accessible, seeing as the polls are AJAX, you could probably force it to send a null vote to the server, which may or may not return the results.
 * It is intentionally missing at the moment, to keep things simple. I'm certainly aware of the null vote feature - it is something I'm considering, but no ETA at the moment. 15:28, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
