how to add pages
How do you create a new page on Uncyclopedia? When I search for a word and no such page exists, I am not given the option to create it. What should I do? graphtheorist@gmail.com, aka Oatmealcookiemon

Very Urgent Question
Dear Angela/Jason,

I'm David Feng and I have wikimac.wikicities.com. A few minutes ago I went to the Wikicity G. Knowledge and saw they had their subtitles (e.g. "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia") under the titles, so I copied the code and placed it on WikiMac.

Then all hell essentially broke loose. I can now no longer access wikimac.wikicities.com as far I as can try. I tried to go back and to refix the monobook.css modification (which was what I did -- I guess -- to mess it up). Nothing worked. wikimac.wikicities.com still works via ping, but the site is dead.

I think the English language fails in my desparation at this moment, it is 1:30 AM and I seriously doubt if I could get a peaceful night. Your help in any form would be appreciated in full.

Yours truly sincerely, David Feng

bureaucrat status lost
Hi Jason,

David from WikiMac here. I've lost the bureaucrat status or at least I can no longer delete, protect, etc... pages, and I'd like to request bureaucrat status additionally for zh.wikimac as well as wikimac (English).

Thanks! --DavidFeng 03:35, 14 Dec 2004 (PST)

Interlanguage error on WikiMac
Sincere apologies for un-Macintosh-like behaviour (i.e. world domination) on your talk page (given that the previous two requests also came from this same David Feng.

Onwards -- there is a problem. The only site that's not affected is zh.mac.wikicities. If I add whatever (or any language code), there's a link in "languages". But on other versions of WikiMac, there's a bug. It's impossible on any other non-ZH wiki to create an English link that would go on "languages" (on the left sidebar in Monobook view), and links to other languages on the English edition (mac.wikicities) turn out to be a red link at the bottom of the page.

BTW, would it also be OK to create en.mac.wikicities and then redirect that to mac.wikicities?

Thanks, and apologies for dominating your talk page,

--DavidFeng 08:43, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * No problem (regarding the domination). I just forgot to add the EN links to the interlanguage links settings.  I just added the EN links.  Let me know if you have any more trouble


 * Also, I've set up en.mac.wikicities.com to work as you requested. Jasonr 12:15, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Thanks Jason. Another (minor) problem: look at the bottom of mac.wikicities -- the DE, FR, IT and ES links aren't in the lang. navbar yet. If you could fix that i'td be great. Also if you could add en.wikimac and redirect that to mac.wikicities, that would also be great. Thanks again. :) --DavidFeng 17:48, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Ouch that one was tricky... I spent a while looking at it, but it turned out to be a very simple fix...  I just had to change the page, and save it.  So, I would assume that other pages that have had the interlanguage links on them since before I got them set up correctly will also have this problem.  Just editing the page fixed it for me (I'm not sure if an edit marked as "minor" would have the same effect).  en.wikimac is also set up now. Jasonr 22:28, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)


 * Same thing with images that don't exist (as in, if you're importing a page before the images for that page), you have to add some kind of mark to the page to get it to save as an edit (minors count) so that the page will be re-rendered. Shame there's no way to do that by clicking a button or something. --Me at work 22:41, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)

Memory Alpha
Hi Jason, this is Florian from Memory Alpha. You managed to backup the english and dutch Memory Alpha, how long will it take to bring the german Memory Alpha back online? Or is it lost forever? -- Florian -     16:24, 23 Feb 2005 (GMT)

{SITENAME}
Hi Jason.

First of all, thanks for dealing with the technical side of setting of language websites for Miqra, and fixing the interlanguage links!

(Regarding the links, I'm not sure why but it still doesn't seem to work in Norwegian. Take a look.)

I have two other separate language questions; I decided to ask you about them on here on the talk page because they may be of importance to many projects.

1. Is there a way to set things up so that a person only has to log in once for all of the languages within a particular project?


 * This should already be the case. You only need to log in once to edit any Wikicity. Angela 19:10, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)
 * You are right, it is working now. Thanks.

2. I saw that the "systems announcements" here uses what seesm to be a plugin template called SITENAME (which is a very good idea so that they can be easily reused in a number of different projects for each language). I couldn't find the template, though. If it would be of help, I could supply the sitename using characters from the various languages.


 * Sitename needs to be set in localsettings.php, which is not available via the wiki. If you let me or Jason know what you would like the sitename (and also the project namespace) to be, then we can change that on the server. Angela 19:10, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)
 * In Hebrew, it should be the following four letters: <מקר�?>. In French and nn I think "Miqra" is probably fine, but I'll check.

I noticed that the Hebrew site was using an English version of "system announcements", then one taken from Hebrew Wikipedia, and now for some reason it is back to the English version. Not knowing the alphabet it might be hard for you to replace "Wikipedia" (in Hebrew) with SITENAME. I could supply the relevant texts if that would be any help.Zabek 13:57, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)


 * This could be because you have English set in your preferences. Does it work if you change that to Hebrew? Angela 19:10, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)
 * No, I knew that couldn't be it because the tabs are in English too. I checked to make sure, and the "sytem messages" are all English-version too.Zabek 20:44, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)


 * I've replied at User talk:Zabek, but I couldn't change the sitename to מקר�?, so I'll leave that to Jason to answer. It came out as ???? when I saved the localsettings.php file. Angela 04:45, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)

MediaWiki farm
Hi Jason. We talked on irc about the wikimedia-farm-extention, said you'll ask to company. Thank you very much. I hope that we may use it and best regards to all. MattisManzel 15:11, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)


 * There isn't an extension as such, and what we do is basically the same as the Wikimedia sites, other than also using single login. This is documented at wikidev. Angela 19:10, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)

Google Search
Hi,

I have added a Google search box to my Wiki after Angela gave me the code. I am using 1.4 beta-6. I have added it to monobook.php which is fine, but the length of the Google section extends right across the page. I want it to be the same width as the navigation, search and toolbox section. I think I should be adding it to the code that controls the left hand side panel of each page, the quickbar I think its called?!?

Where do I find that code? And where should I add the Google link so that the text box and Google image appear after the search section and before the toolbox section along the left of the page? Thanks in advance... Alison

PS. Just noticed how a table of contents is created when new edits are added. Is this an automatic feature or how did you create that?

Thanks for your previous reply, its working perfectly now. So what about the table of contents. I think its a really neat little function.


 * The TOC is added automatically when you have more than three headers. To force it when you have less headers, use type or into the wiki page. To remove it, use . Angela 15:45, 17 Mar 2005 (EST)

NUMBEROFARTICLES
Hello Jason/Angela! I am Yanus, founder of conworld wikicity, and I've modified Main Page as to add number of articles currently in wiki (just like in wikipedia) using the Special:Statistics, but it showed -1 article. I thought that I've done mistake in coding, but Statistics special page sounds that we have 16 pages total, and '(sic!) meaningful articles. Is it some glitch or that's me? Sincerely, Yanus 07:03, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * This is a known bug which is also affecting Los Angeles and others. You might find the WikiStats more reliable than the Special:Statistics page. Angela 00:52, 24 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * Or at least, you might if they were updated . . . -- 05:46, 24 Mar 2005 (EST)

1.4rc to 1.4
Tell me how the transition goes (stable, bumpy, etc), because now that I'm pretty much administrator (that's what happens when you show someone you actually know how to use the software, sigh) of MozWiki, I'll need to know that.

Also, any tips on how to setup the Interwiki map script (because I can't seem to find the documentation on meta, or I couldn't a while back) would be appreciated. It seemed to use the c2 wiki's interwiki map (at least, it did back when i saw the bots script, can't find where it went in the structure now). And no, I don't intend to move my stuff there, or at least most of it. It's just another part of the wikiwikiworld. --Tom talk/Bliki 12:40, 29 Mar 2005 (EST)

2. I would like to change the wikicities logo to our own logo. Inspite of going through the tutorial, I was unable to figure out the method.

Your help will will be deeply appreciated.

Flash (SWF) Files to a Wikicity?
Hi, Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, but: Is it possible to upload Flash files to a WikiCities site? This page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Miscellaneous) says it's possible to upload other types of files using altering the LocalSettings.php (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Miscellaneous). Is it possible to do that for a WikiCity? Thanks in advance, -:)Ben Pfwebadmin 19:56, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Wikicities logo
Hi Jason,

what license is the logo under? I would like to use the image in the hungarian Wikipedia, but hungarian law doesn't know fair use, so images can only be used with permission. Could you please place it under a free license (or at least one that allows its use in Wikipedia)?

Request interlanguage support for Philosophy
Hello, Jason. After a brief discussion with Robert Harrison (next to me co-founder), we have decided that it would be wise to add multiple languages (i.e. interlanguage support) to our side. Back at the start of our wikicity I spoke to Angela where she told me that I should address you once I (we) made up my (our) mind(s). Well, we have, so can you tell me how to procede (or simply add it and give me a sign about accomplishment)? I'd appreciate it, so I could tell our audience (I direct a radio show on philosophy in Dijon) next week about our Wiki (and that it is in French too). Thanks in advance.

CSS and ads for non-standard browsers
I can' t log in to bugzilla right now, but in case I forget when I'm home, I wanted to note that Wikicities is painfully broken on Web TV. It's all I have access to at the moment. Wikicities is worse than Wikipedia since the Google ads take up a third of the page and for some reason, the middle third is blank, leaving all content on one third of the screen. The huge font size, which I'm unable to adjust means very little text appears on a screen (around 50 words). I'm guessing the same is true for anyone trying to browse it on a mobile device. Would detecting the browser and removing ads for some of them be easy? If not, new skin, which is automatically applied for those browsers, would be useful. User:Angela

Uploading insulin logs
Hi Jason -- we haven't spoken before, I'm Steve, admin for Diabetes in Pets. Possibly unusual request here -- many of our users keep their insulin logs in Excel format, and are far too computer-illiterate to consider converting them to anything else. I would hesitate to even ask many of them to export to .csv format, given all the choices that entails. Yet the wiki would benefit tremendously from a database of case histories, and that includes insulin logs.

The obvious solution is to ask people to fill in a preformatted (macro-free) Excel sheet and then upload it, or to upload their own macro free sheets. (Glucose meters can automatically upload to CSV format too.) But Excel sheets are not permitted, both on non-free grounds and on hazardous grounds (macro viruses). So what do you suggest instead?

Main page hit count for Uncyclopedia
Hello, it's me again, the Uncyc crazy who bothered you on IRC a while back. Our main page hit counter is still missing about 540,000 hits or so (off the cuff estimate) from when one of our admins deleted the main page. If you could maybe look into that if it's fixable, that would be fantasmic...also, umm, I need those TPS reports by Friday, and I'm gonna have to ask you to come in Saturday too.

English Memory Alpha Has White Background
There seems to be a problem with the background to the English Memory Alpha. Myself and several other users see a white background, not the article text background, but the one behind the logo and sidebars. The monobook has been edited several times (and reverted back), so it doesn't seem to be the problem. The background that Memory Alpha uses is located here. I was under the impression that as a Wikicities developer, you could perhaps look into it and figure out what the problem is. I have very little knowledge on these matters, and would not be able to report this as a bug if necessary.--Tim Thomason 07:22, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Section Editting
I got a puzzling problem with doing section edits on the San Francisco Wiki. Near as I can tell, clicking on the 'Edit' should also allow editing of the section below the 'Edit'. However, with the San Francisco Wiki, I'm often being given the section above instead. This is particularly a nuisance if the section to be edited is the last one on the page, in which case section editting is effectively blocked. Any idea what is going on?? --Kirk 22:48, 22 Dec 2005 (UTC)

 * I'll have to look into that. -- Jasonr 16:38, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia custom namespaces and DynamicPageList
Hi! Looks like the inputbox extension is working well, thanks. Good to finally see MW1.5 up and running.

As for the custom namespaces, looks like the most wanted namespaces are:

 * UnNews:
 * Undictionary:
 * Game:
 * Babel:

Of these, all but the last two already have content which would need to be moved from existing 'fake namespace' pages.

Thanks. --carlb 04:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

A few more noob admin questions
Hi Jason,

yay, the sidebar works! Thanks for updating - I suppose it has been quite a lot of work.

Alas, I have some more questions, too:
 * 1) I'm afraid, the answer to this first one is "no": The url prefix of Clean City is just "clean", which is fine although being different from "Clean City", because it's the name of the language. However, the Project: namespace is called "Clean_Wiki" which is yet another phrase. This seems unnecessarily complicated. Is it possible to make the Project: namespace refer to either Clean: or CleanCity:?
 * 2) Also likely to be confusing to new Clean Citizens: even though the search logo is customized, a user clicking at it is directed to www.wikicities.com. Where can I edit the link destination? (It should be either Category:Browse or Special:Allpages)
 * 3) How to include the content of Mediawiki:News_box into a page? I have disabled the news box in the sidebar for optical clarity reasons but would like to provide the message, amongst other information about wikicities, at w:c:Clean:Project:About.
 * 4) There seems to be a problem with shared templates - see w:c:Clean:User:Zooloo. Instead of the content indicated by the second language tag, the first is doubled.
 * 5) I have tried to add "hide|show my own edits" to w:c:Clean:Special:Recentchanges, since it would be very convenient. Unfortunately, the actual "hide|show" link is still missing. Could you point me to the right place to fix that, please?

Thank you in advance for any help - zooloo 04:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Point 5. work now - thanks! I wonder if you have answered to me already, but by email rather than here.

Stats page
Hi Jason: Muppet Wiki's stats page still isn't working. I've asked you and Angela about it a bunch of times. Can you let me know what the problem is? I'd really like to have a functioning stats page. -- Danny Toughpigs 01:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Main page corrupt at shopping
The templates for the main page at shopping.wikicities.com have stopped working. The main text is still there, but the box structure has disappeared and template parameters are appearing as text. Seahen 18:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * That is because the interwiki template Template:MainStyle1 stopped working on your wiki (or was just removed?). I copied the code manually for you. Should be ok now? Splarka 23:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Stats
I was wondering when wikistats where going to be updated. Memory Alpha's hasn't been updated since November 14, and Angela told us about a month ago that they were going to be updated in the near future. Thanks. Jaz talk]] 04:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

désencyclopédie
I'm having un problème with désencyclopédie:

It seems that, even when in désencyclopédie itself, the désencyclopédie: prefix (with the accents) is being treated as an interwiki link, rendering any page starting with désencyclopédie: inaccessible. (The content of désencyclopédie: [with the accents], a pseudo-namespace, was the text of all pages redirected from the nominal project: namespace desencylopedie: [without the accents]. This would include items such as the forum and voting pages).

This problem had occured once before during the MW1.5 upgrades, but was fixed; it was working properly yesterday, but today non... ca ne fonctionne pas de tout. :(

Also, would it be possible to add the extension algorithms, such as the random selection algorithm, to this wiki? These exist in the English-language Uncyclopedia but not in the French dÉsencyclopédie. Thanks. --carlb 15:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Jason: I fixed the interwiki problem by removing it from the interwiki table on desencyclopedie, but it needs to be removed from whatever generates the table or it'll just break again later. Zwitter
 * Thanks for reporting this. It turns out that the problem was affecting many wikis.  I ad updated the interwiki table directly rather than using my interwiki update script, and it left a few entries in there that should not have been -- Jasonr 20:54, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you again! --Confusius 15:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if this is related, but the tooltips in the Désencylopédie pseudo-namespace are in spanish. (My preference are set to french, and I see french tooltips in the article namespace and every other namespace I checked.) --Confusius 15:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Problems to import
As I told you at IRC, I'm not succeding to import the spanish content from uncyclopedia to Inciclopedia. I think we have more than 300 pages to import. Copy-pasting would be an endless job. Thanks.--Rataube 10:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Jason, there's a request on my talk page for some namespace changes/addition for w:c:Pomorze. could you have a look? Thanks -- 14:17, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Minor action=create bug
Hi Jason,

I've just found a bug in my actionCreate code: if a prefix is defined and the user submits an empty title, the code doesn't properly fail. I've uploaded a fixed version to meta; only the actionCreate function has been changed. Thought I should let you know. --Algorithm 12:47, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Broken Redirects
Our broken redirects have had 5 entries that I have not been able to remove since the creation of UnNews: as an actual namespace. There were around 70 or so but deleting the redirects or deleting/restoring the page would fix them. The problem with these 5 is the redirect either 1) does not exist or 2) is exactly the same name as the page being redirected to (but now in a different namespace). The offenders are:
 * 1. Unnews:Irish Republican Army to Ascend into Heaven (Edit) → UnNews:Irish Republican Army to ascend into Heaven
 * 2. UnNews: British army "Not Gay" accusation denied by the Home Office (Edit) → UnNews: British army "Not Gay" accusation denied by the Home Office
 * 3. UnNews: Jesus 10 Prostitutes Found Dead In Hotel Room (Edit) → UnNews: Jesus And 10 Prostitutes Found Dead In Hotel Room
 * 4. UnNews: Mali announces re-christening plans (Edit) → UnNews:Mali announces re-christening plans
 * 5. UnNews: 2006 brought in for questioning (Edit) → UnNews:2006 brought in for questioning

Might need to be fix-ed in the database? Splarka 05:06, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikistatistics
Hey Jason, here yo go with some source code examples on how i created. Greetings, Mutante 11:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * We made a second attempt, taking the hostlist from

http://www.wikia.com/wikistats/EN/Sitemap.htm to generate a self-updating statistics at http://s23.org/wikistats/wikia_html.php However, if you scroll down to the last three entries, you see, there is a problem. How do _you_ retrieve valid statistics from these URLs? 84.177.136.63 12:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Shared templates
Recently I set up a Template:User Kernigh Top as a shared template so I could include it on my various Wikicities user pages using.

I implemented this at w:c:Gameinfo:User:Kernigh and w:c:Novelas:User:Kernigh. It worked fine at Gameinfo, but at Novelas there were some problems:
 * The Google ads moved from their spot at the right of the page, and covered the right side of my user page.
 * Part of the template was missing. "Contributions" is after the template, and should be outside the box and to the left. The box should have Most-Edited Wikicities, Other Wikicities, and IRC sections in it, like you see at User:Kernigh at this wiki.

I had a chat with User:Sannse at #wikicities at irc.freenode.net. I tried to purge the pages (action=purge) but that did not help. Sannse suggested that I contact you.

So why does w:c:Gameinfo:User:Kernigh work fine, but w:c:Novelas:User:Kernigh does not? --Kernigh 23:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

How to redirect a domain name to an individual wikicity?
What would be the best way to redirect a domain name (desencyclopedie.org) to connect to the corresponding wikicity (desencyclopedie.wikicities.com)? (All of the wikicities seem to have the same IP address.) --carlb 18:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

This is broken on all Wikia. The .svg image on the vidange article doesn't work at all, and the one on lapin rose only works partially. The sheep on mouton is nothing more than a silhouette now. Looks like gradient fill is broken, odd as on Wikipédia the same graphics work fine (the "lapin rose" article originated there as lapin du métro parisien. --carlb 01:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

#wikia response delays
Hi Jason,

Phroziac redirected me to regarding #wikia. My concern:

GChriss: perhaps "Please wait for a reply, we are sometimes wandering" could be made more visible?

GChriss: under the main link on www.wikia.com

GChriss: the problem is that it is advertised as "live chat and support", but it isn't always "live" in the way people expect

GChriss: i have seen a number of people confused/dissapointed after a minute or two of no response. i was thinking of changing irc.wikia.com directly to include: "when you connect, please be patient.  we may take a few minutes to respond"

Thanks, GChriss 02:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikiasari
I'm wondering if the beta software known as Wikiasari is archived somewhere, and the associated database? If so, I would like to request that a copy be maintained until the fate of the Search Wikia is resolved once and for all. Also, since the Wikiasari software was supposed to be available under GPL, I wonder if you might consider sending me a copy?

Also, I just mentioned this at upgrade bugs, but while I'm on the subject of the Search Wikia, the database dumps are not working, for any of the Wikia. I would like to be able to download a dump of the Search Wikia since its continued existence is in jeopardy. Can this be arranged?

Thank you. Charm 15:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Interwiki links
Hello We are wondering if it would be possible to add soem interwiki records into our sql database, so we could provide our wiki with beautiful interwiki links between other Uncyclopedia-like wikis just as on Uncyclopedia itself? Yours Sincerely Sos of Nonsensopedia --Sos 22:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I seem to be able to link from en: fr: and pl: to other-language uncyclopediae (except zh -> zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/$1 is still missing). I can't seem to link back from ca: es: it: or ru: though... seems like the language interwiki link tables exist on some uncyclopedias and not others? (This is noticeable on pages like wikipédia as most of these projects, as wiki parodies, have something to say about the main Wikipedia itself. The bug: link (and the bugs.wikia.com URLs) don't work either. --carlb 14:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Article semi-protection
I've noticed on Wikia that semi-protection blocks only anonymous edits, but allows any registered user to do so. On Wikipedia, edits by very new users (something like 4 days or less) are also blocked, which makes sense given how easy it is for vandals to register. Could this be enabled for Wikia? Thanks. RMF 00:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Database download XML dumps still 404
Data download for the text of all individual Wikia appears to still be broken (dbdumps.html shows a list of various zero-byte files, all of which are error404 once selected). The bugzilla 291 interwiki link also appears to be 404 (still on old URL http://www.wikia.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291 instead of the more recent http://bugs.wikia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=291 ) and the robots.txt file is giving permission-type errors (403) again on uncyclopédia. --carlb 04:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Javascript Usage
I'm trying to implement a dice-rolling ability into the d20NPCs wiki, and through the live chat, found the "MediaWiki:Common.js" file for that wiki to put the functions into, but now to create a template that actually call the functions, I'm running into a block. I found that the  tag is not translating to a link, but rather just text, so I'm trying a  tag, but even if I put an "onClick" attribute in that tag, the engine strips it off when the page is rendered (the code is still there if I go back to edit it, but the rendered wikitext is missing that attribute). Is there another way to call javascript that has been defined, or enable the use of the "onClick" and other javascript event handlers? Thanks much!

Or, I do have the process created as an extension (so drops in the  tag using onClick via extension, so bypasses both these filtering issues), if you'd be willing to apply that to our wiki.

King In Yellow
Hello, Jason. Although this IP address doesn't really convey identity that well, I'm the user commonly known as "King In Yellow" on Uncyclopedia. I understand that RCMurphy (and possibly Todd Lyons as well) has contacted you on IRC regarding my dilemma of not being able to access my profile. Apparently, I requested a new password to be emailed to me after I forgot mine (I never really logged out, and the last time I got autologged I couldn't remember my password!), and no email existed in my profile (although I swear I set one back last fall...) Now I'm out in the cold so to speak. RC suggested that I contact you directly, as you wanted to know what time zone I post from (U.S. Eastern Standard.) Also, I post from two IP's - this one is my work one. If there's anything we can do to reinstate access to my profile, I'd be much in your debt. Also, should you wish, I can provide you with an email address. As I no longer have a watchlist, I'll periodically check back here for replies. Thanks in advance! --169.200.185.24 14:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Forum Namespace in Memory Alpha
Hi,

Florian K. did request the addition of the Forum namespace to Memory Alpha (de) a few weeks ago. We suggested the creation in the english version as well, though there are only few comments it is only logical to create them in there too. Our Ten Forward is too often victim of vandals and too long to load. Would you please create the namespace #100 Forum and #101 Forum talk there so we can start to move topics over the weekend? -- Kobi 18:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia interlanguage links
The following (new) interlanguage links are missing from all Uncyclopedia-related wikis:

The old de: link has uncyclopedia.de/wiki2 so is not going to work now that the wiki has moved. Fi: is also a mess. The remaining interlanguage links appear to be usable from en: es: fr: he: pl: ru: but do not work from German (de:) Italian (it:) el: ca: la: or from any of the wikia listed above:

Could you please add an interlanguage map to de.uncyclopedia.wikia.com or install the Special page to work with the interwiki table extension on the Uncyclopedia-related projects so that we can update these? Using uncyclopedia:pagename to link to the English-language version from de: doesn't work as it conflicts with the de: project namespace uncyclopedia:, en: doesn't work as a direct link because the interlanguage table is missing, so a link from de: to en: can only be made through some other wiki, ie: desencyclopedie:en:pagename wikia:uncyclopedia:pagename or wikia:uncyclopedia:en:pagename.

Psychology Wiki Gateway & IRC
Hi Jason. My name is also Jason, and I'm an administrator over at the Psychology Wiki. I had a few questions about IRC for the Psychology Wiki. (I'm only remotely familiar with the subject, and my following questions may very well reflect that!)

1.) Is it possible to set up a Psychology Wiki "gateway to IRC" like the Star Wars Wikia CGI Gateway to IRC?

2.) If so, is it possible to set up multiple channels, (such as "Psychology Wiki 1, Psychology Wiki 2, etc.)? I ask "multiple channels" because it is our hope that, in time, we will have many users at the Psychology Wiki...enough users so that it would be neccessary to have multiple channels for multiple chats at any given time on a variety of psychology topics.

I certainly appreciate any help you are able to give. Here is my talk page at the Psychology Wiki. Have a good one! Jason Bessey - Jaywin (talk ) 03:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

That insert image thing
Am I right in thinking you put the insert image link into the edit pages? If so, I'd like to humbly request that it be disable-able somehow, as I use that toolbar line for other things and the extra text there pushes it onto a new line, which isn't very nice. Just adding a name or id or class to the span so I can hide it with CSS would be perfect, I'd rather not have to find a way to remove it via javascript! Obviously it's not a high priority thing, but if you have a moment to fix that it'd be good. Thanks. Spang (talk) 00:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, turns out you can disable it with CSS as it is :). But having an option somewhere probably wouldn't go amiss. Spang 01:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Images in Teletraan-I aren't loading
Hi,

Nothing under the transformers.wikia.com/images directory seems to be loading. It started acting up Sept 1, and doesn't seem to be affecting other wikis.

The pages for the image descriptions load, but opening any image file gives a 404 error.

Thanks, --FortMax 19:35, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Might be because it is trying to load images locally rather than from images.wikia.com. Did wikia move to the separate image server and leave the transformers behind? ^_^. --Splarka (talk) 05:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Now the entire transformers.wikia.com/ gives a "server not found" error. --FortMax 17:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

more nethack problems
Hi Jason. nethack.wikia.com is still experiencing problems. It's very slow, CSS files are not being included (resulting in white tables like Template:Monster), database dumps are not being generated (pages_current.xml and pages_full.xml are both 404s), and the search box gives: Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init in /usr/wikia/source/wikia-extentions/search/wikia_engine.php on line 884

Can you help? --Jayt 12:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Google Analytics code
Hello Jason,

I want to use Google analytics to see my wiki's statistics. I have already given the tracking code to sannse about 3 or 4 days ago, but I still cannot see the statistics. It says that the code haven't been installed yet.

Could you please install the code?

Indexing Wikia in Google Glossary?
Hi Jason, I don't know if you can help me, or if I should ask Angela or anyone else about this. I have a technical issue described here. I think this is a point that may become important for all Wikia. Who can talk to Google about this? --Spankart 08:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * we've talked to Google about it, and we have a few things that will help Google index uur wikis better. This is pretty high on our list of priorities, so it will likely be done soon.  -- Jasonr 22:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot Jason, please let me know as soon as you got any results! --Spankart 08:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Getting the form working.
I was wondering, how did you fix the problem with the form as discussed below: (I am having the same problem on my wiki)

I got the following error when I requested for a new Wikia:

Fatal error: Call to a member function toString on a non-object in /home/wikia/wiki16svn/includes/UserMailer.php on line 123

--Nino Gonzales 04:00, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

This has been fixed. The request form shows up properly again -- sannse (talk) 15:34, 12 April 2006 (UTC) Actually the request form shows up fine. The error happens when you submit a request. I tried it again and still the same error. --Nino  Gonzales 07:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

It's working now. Thanks! --Nino Gonzales 06:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Special:MiniUpload
Moin Jasonr, szoferka told on IRC, that you might know where Special:MiniUpload came from, and if the php and js source for the Insert image button is available anywhere.

Interwiki for the Inciclopedia
Hello. I'm an user from Inciclopedia, the spanish Uncyclopedia.

I was wondering if you could change the interwiki link to Valenciclopedia, as it appears as "catalá" but i would like it to appear as "valenciano".

Extension Code
I'm the current founder for the Gaiapedia. We do have plans sometime in the future of moving for the use of our own server and network of wiki's on our subject. I've been doing some development testing on my own computer and have working shared users and a working partial shared permissions system. But I haven't been able to get a "shared-___" MediaWiki messages system working like the one here on Wikia. I see that it's a simple "SharedMessages" extension that is what allows this to work. But it does not exist anywhere else. I was wondering if there was a way I could have the code to install that extension onto the testing server I'm using so in the future when I have the server setup finished and we've finally been able to move the wiki that system would be installed and working with it.

Oh ya... just for future information. I know there are database downloads here, but with upload limits they are hardly substantial for moving a wiki and it would cause a issue of having missing users. So whenever we do plan to move, Would it be possible to request exports of certain tables needed to move the wiki and a portion of the Users table so that there are no conflicting issues of user's signing up as members of our wiki that were already registered and taking credit for their contributions list. (I could even give the sql code that would generate the export so you wouldn't be troubled, cause I only want the relevant parts of the table.) All the passwords are encrypted and I haven't the foggiest clue on how anyone could decrypt the MD5 passwords used.

More Interlanguage linking
Hey Jason. Sorry to bother you again, but now that the Finnish Inheriwiki is created, could you do a 3-way linking between the three languages. Thanks! G .He (Talk!) 03:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Forum namespace + interlanguage link
I requested the wiki, and there's two things that should setup. When I asked at the forums and some more places, I got forwarded to you. Could you please do this: If you do this, thanks! –Smiddle U T C A S 11:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Interlanguage links to en.Nintendo, de.Nintendo, fr.Nintendo and zh.Nintendo.

New interlanguage table for Uncyclopedia.de
Hello Jason,

Szoferka informed me, that there is a new interlanguage table available, including for example Dutch. I testet Dutch nl-links both in the German Uncyclopedia and in the Polish Nonsensopedia. The Dutch nl-links do work in Nonsensopedia, but in the German Uncyclopedia they do not.

Szoferka told me, that the interlanguage table should be updated for all projects in one time. Do you have any information what could be done to update the interlanguage table for the German Uncyclopedia, in order to activate Dutch nl-links? That would be a great help.

thank you in advance,

LaTeX style
Dear Jasonr, I'm a newbie in Wikia, please help me. I'm editing fisika.wikia and also id.Wikipedia. And I oberserved that rendering or style (I'm not really sure) of the equation using LaTeX syntax didn't produce the same result. I mean I like more style of id.Wikipedia (or in common, Wikipedia). Can it be fixed or is there someway around to get some style in producing equation? Thank you. N / A (bicara) 16:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Difficulty enabling e-mail
Hi Jason,

On the Ecovillage Wiki, I recently discovered that my e-mail address in my preferences is not enabled (not surprising, since it is the wrong address). When I entered the correct e-mail address and sent a confirmation, I got the following message: "Invalid confirmation code. The code may have expired." Would you be able to assist me in getting e-mail enabled? Michael 08:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Interlanguage
Hi Jason, can you help me getting interlanguage support on the Freeciv Wikia. More specific on the danish (da.)

thanks in advance

 Hi, have a question about the Freeciv Wikia  the interlanguage links doesn't seem to work  Joedalton: were the links activated yet?  by a tech/developer  sorry, but i don't now, its HIMA or somebody else on the english Freeciv Wikia which have made the transfer from the old wiki  but i dont think so ?  The thing is that interlanguage links have to be enabled first <GHe|BUSY> otherwise, they won't work <GHe|BUSY> and by adding them before they're enabled, it creates a server-sided cached problem that's hard to clear <Joedalton> so i have to remove all of them first ? <GHe|BUSY> so even if they do get enabled, the cache has to be fixed before they work <GHe|BUSY> well, removing them now won't do much good <Joedalton> on all Freeciv Wikia or just on the danish? <GHe|BUSY> you can remove them for now if you want <GHe|BUSY> and perhaps contact JasonR or another tech regarding the interlanguage links <Joedalton> okay thanks

Question of the russian user
I'm sorry for incorrect English language, I'm from Russia. I have made some requests about creation of the wiki-projects (different my e-mail-addresses). I wait week for the answer. What is it? So it is necessary? Explain to me, please. --Nik Novan 17:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Russian translation: Я сделал несколько запросов на создание вики-проектов.

Так необходимо? --Nik Novan 17:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
