Links on the home page
Can you please comment on Forum:Links on the home page, Angela? I'd like to go ahead with sannse's suggestion but I'd like to hear if you have any objections. --Spankart 13:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Sannse is going to work on a new layout for the main page at Template:Home/temp where that can be added in since a new section doesn't fit with the current one. Angela talk 16:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Main Page Lock Issue
OK, that makes sense too. Thanks for the tip! --Butseriouslyfolks 20:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

User Rights
Hey, sorry to both you again, but I accidentally made El Pardak a bureaucrat and I think you people are the only guys who can change it. Can you take away the bureaucrat position?--X66x6623:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem. I'll do that now. I assume you want me to leave his admin rights? Angela talk 23:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Thanks!--X66x6623:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

(Possible) reply to question on another wiki
You (or an imposter) asked me if I was planning ISV wars. Truthfully, yes. But, not on Wikia. Sakura Avalon 01:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

You rock!
Yeah... :) 194.80.21.10 14:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Dismiss tech
Hi, I sent a contact form on "dismiss tech", and since you replied, I decided to chat here. My objective with the dismiss tech is so that I could make a large blurb on the main page for newcomers so that they can get oriented, and which could be dismissed by returning users so that it would clean up the clutter. Sorry, I was unclear with what results I hoped for. Since I didn't see you make any changes on the novelas wikia, I assume it's done from whatever functions you have access to. Does that mean that the "tech" I'm aiming for is not possible? If it is, could you direct me to where there's information on how to make it work myself? Thanks so much!

 * I thought what you wanted was a way to dismiss whatever is in the site notice? Or do you want to hide text on an actual page? Angela talk 14:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Change logo
Hello angela, I have uploaded the new logo to indonesiaku, but the logo is still Image:Wiki.png, can you help me to change it --Bee Yan 比 言 10:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It is working, but you may need to clear your cace to see it. Try pressing Ctrl and F5 on this page. Angela talk 14:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Jimwitz
When doo you think the Enders Game wiki will be available. 15:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It's working now. Angela talk 15:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikia Highlights
Hello Angela, I was wondering could the Puppet Wikia be on the Wikia Highlights. We have over 350 articles and lots of content. Phillip chat 20:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Phillip. If you mean the highlights on the home page, I think you need to get some more users involved with your wiki first. An alternative for newer wikis is the Wikia news box. You can suggest a wiki for addition to that at Wikia news box suggestions. Angela talk 20:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Bioniclepedia
Hello Angela, I'm the current admin of Bioniclepedia(bionicle.wikia.com). You remember how KFan II went inactive and I took over? Well, I'm not a beurucrat, and I would like to have beurocrat status to manage Bioniclepedia. Could you do that for me? LegoLover 00:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Bureaucrat status just lets you make other users into admins. It doesn't enable you to manage or own the wiki and is not meant as a a reflection of status or hierarchy. Are there people that the community has chosen to be admins? Angela talk 00:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. I have appointed a new admin to help manage Bioniclepedia. LegoLover 02:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. I've replied on your talk page at bionicle. Angela talk 02:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiTubia
Hi, I requested a wiki for YouTube and video sharing related content. I hope if you grant my request that we can attract a few people who know a thing or two about wikicodes so as to smooth the running of the site. This will enable us to focus on creating articles. Thanks TownCrier 18:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've left you a comment on the Wikitubia page. Angela talk 18:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * replied. TownCrier 19:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

From Wikitech
Hi Angela,

sorry for my English if it's not so good... I'm Italian.

I open a request of Wiki...WIKITECH.

It's arrived to me an email with some modify that You make on my open request page but i don't understand so good what consist this...

There are some problem with the reques of my wiki? Something in my proposal it's wrong?

I'm waiting for an answer. Regards Alessandro WikiTech


 * I'm not sure what you mean. I haven't made any edits to your Wikitech request yet. However, I will now I've seen it since that wiki already exists at tech.wikia.com. Angela talk 14:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

From Zakjedi
I just wanted to let you know, I found out who Koyimateil is (the user that uses the same computer as me at the library). He's someone I knew in school. He's purely a vandal and should be blocked. However, since he does use the same IP as me, this IP address shouldn't be blocked. Thank you for your time.Zak Starfighter 18:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Lyrics Wiki
About the Song Lyrics Wiki I suggested:

Are all lyrics copyrighted so that nobody can even paste them on a website without permission? V-Rex 02:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, usually lyrics are copyrighted. You can find some freely licensed music through creative commons though this includes music that can't be used commercially, so isn't allowed on Wikia or Wikipedia. Angela talk 03:17, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * But why it isn't allowed to just write out lyrics on a website without getting money for it or anything? V-Rex 03:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Because of copyright law. Free content licensing is meant to help since it allows the copyright holder to say they are ok with you writing out their lyrics on a website without getting money for it (or they can choose to say you can do it even if you are getting money for it). Creative Commons explains more about this. Angela talk 04:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You might have to semi-protect your user and talk pages
That would stop the vandalism. Will (Talk - contribs) 06:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It wouldn't stop it. It would simply make the vandal move onto a less watched page and take longer before it was reverted. Angela talk 11:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Changing Wikia "Star Wars Combine" Links
You left me a message on my Compedia Wiki about updating the links on the Wikia site. How would i go about doing this as i don't want to mess up any system you have in place. Also of course I'll have to wait a while for the spammers to stop so it can be removed from the blacklist. (It's so well organized.) WillSWC 01:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This wasn't me. Angela talk 21:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Spammer
Either You or someone pretending to be you came to the Compedia at my server and said i should change the links here, thus the last message. Then i gave You admin and just this morning I found every page on the compedia. If this was you you can expect a Perm. Ban and I will NEVER return to Wikia however if this was not you I am sorry. I've lost every page and my own account was banned. I have to go admin the MySQL to fix it so its offline for a while. WillSWC 21:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This was not me! I expect if you check the IP you'll find it's the same person who has been spamming Wikia sites with your URL. Angela talk 21:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Wonderful to hear that. I couldn't believe you would. The Compedia's pretty much in pieces so we're banning the IP and then wiping the database because this spammer trashed about every page on the Wiki and deleted revisions. It was pure luck that i decided to login today. WillSWC 21:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you know how to undelete don't you? Unless he merged page histories, it should all be reversible. Make sure you deadmin that person since admins can still do damage even if they're blocked. Angela talk 21:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yah, They merged most of the histories but its rather ok because we've removed them, and are in the process of restoring backups I made last month. they're a little old but better then the ASCII     we have there now. Again sorry for thinking it was you. I should have known better. I have no idea why this hacker has taken such interest in the Compedia... WillSWC 21:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Cal Wiki
Hi, Angela. I've been very zealously building, along with others, the Calendars Wikia. Thanks for popping in and helping with some spamming, etc. It occurs that no one is a Bureaucrat or Admin, and it's not possible to delete pages or deal with serious vandalism at this point. Can I assume that task, please? Thanks! - Nhprman 22:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your prompt attention! - Nhprman 02:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia Image
I wish I could take credit for the idea, but it was a joint effort from 2 of our best contributors. Looks a lot better than the old one, I have to agree.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 23:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Army wiki
I was browsing Central by using "Random page" function when I came across Army wiki. Well, the idea is good, but that wiki is a total desert! No admins or bureacurats, no pages, no logs...nothing! So, should it be closed down? I think that army stuff could go to WarWiki since armies are an important thing in wars. After all, the title of army wiki is "Army wiki - U.S Department of Defence wiki" and there are lots more armies than U.S Army or U.S Navy... :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I recently emailed the founder about this to see if he still wants it. It might be best to merge it with military. Angela talk 16:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Renaming
Not sure where to ask this...*shrug* hope this is the right place. I know on Wikipedia there is a special page which allows Beauracrats to change other users' usernames. Do other wikis have this userpage? I can't seem to find it...lol :) this is what prompted me to ask... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  17:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but this isn't possible on Wikia since we have a shared user database. The user will need to relogin with a new name. Angela talk 20:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

our conversation
I've responded - you know where, I hope. Should I give you link? Zephyrinus 21:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I guess you mean w:c:podcast:User talk:Zephyrinus. I'll go and look now. :) Angela talk 00:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

#PuppetWiki
Hey Angela, Did you get the email i sent to Wikia about adding the new Puppet Wiki IRC channel? - Phillip chat 19:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I did. I'll be in the channel later to discuss it. Angela talk 21:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Great, Looking Forward to it. - Phillip [[Image:Face-monkey.png|I'm bananas for Puppet Wikia]]chat 21:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Bad title Pages
I was wondering how you might delete a 'Bad title' wiki page please? I have posted the problem on the forum here - Don 12:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
