Macross Wiki
I am the admin of the Macross Wiki, and managing it on my own is a herculean task, we get a lot of viewers but so little editors apart from the helpful users from the Robotech Wiki who occasionally pop in to edit.

We need more people working on it. Also, is it possible for me to become a Bureaucrat? I'm currently a Sysop but I am the only active admin.http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/thumb/c/ce/Hm_fortress_maximus-1-.gif/39px-Hm_fortress_maximus-1-.gif Fort Max says http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130430193048/transformers/images/thumb/4/43/AutobotInsigniaVector.svg/30px-AutobotInsigniaVector.svg.png 'til All Are One and http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130318205104/macross/images/thumb/e/e2/UN_Spacy_Logo.svg/30px-UN_Spacy_Logo.svg.png Deculture!

Jojo wiki
I'm an admin at Jojo Wiki, a wiki dedicated to the Japanese manga series, Jojo's bizarre Adventure. I'd like to request some help improving the wikia's home page.

Shokugeki-no SOMA
Hello this is Torquil, I am an admin/Bcrat at the Schokugeki-no SOMA wiki and I would like to request for a better background, the current one is good but I dont think it has impact. Secondly, I would also like to request for a better theme, a little darker but not too dark (I dont know if that would look good...so if you think a brighter theme would be better its your choice). Can I also request for a better main page, the current templates on the page look different and at some point it becomes unapealing, perhaps the colors would also have to be changed according to the new backgroud and theme.

There also seems to be this problem with this template, there is an extra < / d i v > at the bottom but if I remove it the main page becomes a chaos. Could you also add like extra stuff for eg like the picture behind the user info, etc.

Thanks a lot,

Please reply here so that i get a notification when you do.

Fanon Fairies Wiki
I am the founder of the wiki above, and we would like to have a background, a background like with two pictures beside and a sparkly background in the middle here are the images:

We would have made it ourselves but I am afraid nobody on my wiki is an expert in backgrounds so, we ask the Wikia staff to make it. Our request is detailed and I don't see why we should be declined.Please reply as soon as possible.

 * Hi BloomRocks. To get the full-size version of that pink glitter image, apparently you have to purchase it from the user at deviantART. If someone buys it and uploads it to Fanon Fairies Wiki, let me know on my message wall. Alternatively, you could find a different but similar image that's free to use.

Camp Half-Blood RolePlay Wiki
With Darwin out, we'd really like a new background image, but I'm afraid anything we might make won't fit well, and you guys know precisely what sizes and all that it needs to be. . Something Greek god themed/camp half blood, but avoiding canon characters from the books, as we take place 17 to 20 years after the books ended. I'm pretty sure we meet all the criteria, if not let me know where we are lacking :) thanks for your consideration in this :)

Cry of Fear Wiki
Hello, I'm the main admin of the Cry of Fear wiki. I have been doing some tweaking, polishing pages and replacing old images. Right now, everything looks better than before, but one of my greatest desires is to change the default font for every page in the wiki.

Can you help me with this? I want to use the Font B52, which was the one used on Silent Hill games. I think it would make the wiki more cool. I've tried doing this by myself, but I failed, so, I request you to help me with this small thingy I have.

If you manage to do it, I'll be forever in your debt. Thanks beforehand.

Edit: Additionally, can you make the borders of the infobox templates round instead of plain square? Please?

Night World Wiki
Night World Wiki is a steady community, and we already follow the required practices. We have no short pages, and all the stubs are more than 200 bytes. However, I want our wiki to look more "professional". We already have a customized wordmark, but it looks a bit fanmade so I was hoping the Community Development Team could design one using the picture below. All it needs is "WIKI" to be added in the same style. That would be all thank you :)

Simmenes Wiki
Hello there! I was wondering if I could get a new wordmark for our Wiki which is about The Sims series (on Norwegian). If you could make it look like the wordmark the other Sims Wikia uses, that would be great. Example: Simmenes (plumbob here, you know The Sims crystal) Wiki.

PotC Wiki
To whom it may concern:

I bring a point brought onto me via a comment from my latest blog (this link for those who can't see anything but the blog). To put it simply, I'd like to know if the Wiki's background is viewable in all ways of viewing Wikia. Not sure if it's just one person's issue, but I wish for someone to check this out for me, mainly someone who's fixed mobile viewings before. What can I do to make the viewing for both PC and mobile viewable?...that is, if it's even possible. I don't know how things are suppose to look, let alone if things are going according to plan.

Thanks for any help or advice! :) -- C J S Fan On Stranger Tides, Arkham City 00:36, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

Narutopedia
In a discussion on our wiki, we felt the need to update our background we had been using since the wiki was first formed. We came with an image which could have been a good option:. But its of poor quality, weird resolution and not very good for small/medium screens (and I am not sure how to make a Darwin background as well). So it would be nice if you could help us a bit with it, the same one or an entirely new one, as you see fit. You may reply there or my tp, wherever you are comfortable :) ~Ultimate Supreme  17:47, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

Hey! I'm an Admin for Soul Eater Wikia! We're having trouble with Organization. Partially due to the treatment of the Wikia before me and a fellow Admin became one.

It seems our MediaWiki page is broken and needs fixing. I really don't know what to do here. But I do know It needs to be fixed. And whatever needs fixing is beyond me.
