Memory Alpha issue
Angela, you may already be aware of this discussion on Memory Alpha, but if not, I thought it might be of interest to you. The condensed version is that someone want a page about them on MA deleted and potentially blocked from being recreated. I don't know if there are any potential legal ramifications pertaining this issue, but the consensus of the community is that the information is 1. minimal 2. publicly available from a number of other sources 3. pertinent to our stated goals and mission, and therefore 4. should not be deleted. It also leads to a larger discussion about what to do if someone doesn't want (for whatever reason) to have an article about them on MA (or any other wiki, for that matter). I'd be interested in both your personal and Wikia's official opinions on this. Thanks! -- Renegade54 14:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC) (MA admin)


 * I think the way WikiFur handles this is very good. See w:c:furry:WikiFur:Personal exclusion. Angela talk 06:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Job Queue
Hello Angela, Esemono from Halopedia here. Our Job Queue doesn't seem to be updating with our maintence backed up since Oct, 17. Looking at this page Help:Job_queue it says you can run the job queue manually by running maintenance/runJobs.php is this something we can do or something you can do? -- Esemono 13:07, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * John said that it's something only the tech staff can do. The issues is related to them being in the middle of transfering the cron jobs between colos. We've hired a network consultant who will be able to help with this next week. Angela talk 15:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks good to know its being taken care of -- Esemono 01:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Runescape Wikia Adverts
Here are some adverts on the [runescape wikia that break the rules of Runescape. Would you please remove them? Thanks! Dreadnought 22:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

"Wikia messages"
I'd like to point out that the logo to the Wikiality Wikia includes the Wikipedia logo, which is copyrighten. While I'm not sure about fair use/parody, it is technically copyright infringement. -- Zanimum 18:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it's fair use since it's a parody, but I've pointed Jimmy to your message so he can decide if the Foundation cares about this. Angela talk 02:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * And he's passing it on to Brad. Angela talk 03:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Blocking IP
Hi, Angela! On Oct, 13 04:43 you block IP's class numbers 213.76.96.0/20 on Nonsensopedia for one week. It's not fair, because this IP's are dynamic dialup adresses (see: ). I can't edit this Uncyclopedia :( Please, unblock this IP's class numbers.


 * This is unblocked now. Angela talk 11:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

BTW: Why new URL's containing "wikia.com" are suspected for spam??? It is absurd! :) Sorry for my bad English. 213.76.98.74 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * There's not currently a way of whitelisting pages from the captcha. However, you can use the interwiki link Whatever instead of using the whole URL which shouldn't trigger the captcha. Angela talk 11:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Wookieepedia Userpage

 * Hello Angela. FYI, a template fetch or something like that failed on your Wookieepedia userpage. I'm no techie, so you probably have a better understanding. P.S. I once mistook a different Angela on Wikia for you. Oops. I go by Atarumaster88 on Wookieepedia.


 * Thanks for pointing it out. It's a bug with shared templates that is often fixable by purging the page. Angela talk 02:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

To many user names
Every time I type out my wikia user name. I have a new user page. How can I put them all on one page or is it not possible?


 * What do you mean? Are you getting the capitalization right? Or do you mean you have to make a new page for each wiki? Angela talk 02:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Ban problem at STExpanded
Thanks for the help. I didn't know what to do. --Kevin W. 13:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem. Angela talk

Blocked?
heya, I'd like to know why i'v been blocked, seeing that iv not even begun posting here. thanks~


 * Since you just posted here, you're not blocked on this wiki... Could you give me some more details about where you think you're blocked? It's most likely because you share an IP with someone who is blocked. --Angela talk 10:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Sysop
Can I get a sysop and how can I get a sysop to the Futurama Wiki? --Bender Bending Rodriguez 17:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll do that now. Angela talk 11:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Indonesian translation of visitlang template
Sorry Angela, I could just do it today. It's already finished: http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Template_visitlang-id

 * Thanks! Angela talk 11:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Sysop of
Can I also get a sysop to the normal site and the Simpsons Wiki? --Bender Bending Rodriguez


 * What do you mean by the "normal" site? You don't have any edits on the Simpsons wiki. Angela talk 04:34, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The normal site is this site, Wikia. --~BENDER 23:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Do you mean the Central Wikia? I don't think you have any need to be an admin here. What exactly is it you want to do? Angela talk 04:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
whats with banning me before i even edit stuff :s not my fault my name is edward :(


 * Which wiki do you mean? You're not blocked on this one. Angela talk 04:34, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi Angela, Thanks for help with Sustainable Community Action yesterday. It may have been a relatively small thing but appreciated anyway Philralph 08:32, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Unusual numbers on Pen Pal Wiki
Hi Angela. A certain individual (IP 81.177.14.26) has been adding some random number to the end of c:penpal:Wiki. You reverted it (thanks), but now it's been done again. Is there any particular reason that somebody would persist in putting some seemingly random and pointless number at the end of the article? Thanks, Markdarb 04:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


 * See: Forum:String_of_numbers_type_vandalism (not a lot of help though). --Splarka (talk) 05:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It's probably some sort of spam bot. Just revert it you see it again. If it starts happening too often, we can block all long numbers, but that can sometimes interfere with genuine edits. Angela talk 02:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikia:c:dofus Advert

 * Dofus Kamas Super Store : Buy DoFus Kamas, Fast Delivery 24/7 Online Support, 10000+ Paypal www.gogoer.com

In the Ads by Google on Wikia:c:dofus I have spot this Ads above, that breaks the rules of Dofus on Terms & Condition. Even thought I did not find specific wording, "Kamas" are the game currency (money/cash) and this page is selling that money in exchange for real money making profit with the intelectual property of Amakna Studios owner of the Dofus program if I'm correct... Also it may be apearing in other Wikias as it has other games where it gives the same service. So if it could be remove would be great Thanks! --Cizagna (Talk) 02:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll reply on the dofus wiki. Angela talk 02:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I have review the web page before I answer your question:
 * For a specific URL will be [http://www.gogoer.com

gameid=25&gamename=DOFUS&state=1 http://www.gogoer.com/dofus-c-1302.html gameid=25&gamename=DOFUS&state=1] this is the URL more accurate one that affects us more to the Dofus Wikia (if they notice, they could just change the "gameide=25" for another number)
 * For terms of what the page is offering : Is a way to cheat in-game, they offer 2 kind of services one is exchange game money for real money (includes Dofus game) that is considerate a cheating way in various games and second is that they will play with your character and level it for you by just giving them real money (does not include this service for Dofus game at the moment) so then the person that bought this just enjoys the benefits of a higher level character. Both of those services are ban reasons if the player is caught (still have not found a game that permits this conduct). And there is a chance that the deal is a scam/fraud and once they get the real money they will not deliver the electronic money or your account for the second service, so the user can't complain to the game developer company because, player has try to make and illegal benefit and it's not a service provided by game developer company or accepted by them. As they don't provide other thing aside from cheating on MMORPG's I would say ban the whole address.
 * Now putting my self in your point of view (as you have to be careful), what would I require to make this request stronger or more acceptable? Or should I try to obtain something official from the company developer of Dofus?--Cizagna (Talk) 04:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll ban the whole address. I think it's important that the ads don't upset Dofus wiki editors. Angela talk 06:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all your help Angela =) --Cizagna (Talk) 21:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Permissions on Dynasty Warriors Wikia
The Dynasty Warriors wiki no longer has bureaucrats. Could you restore Whopper's bureaucrat permssions on there (he's the founder)? Serov 08:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's a good idea considering he went round adminning people who had very few, or even no edits. Angela talk 08:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, if he doesn't show up and the necessity for permissions comes up (like persistent vandalism for days, necessity for deletion of some pages for content purposes or whatever), is there a place where I can request permissions if I'm still the only active editor? Or is it better to just rely on staff members?  I don't want to be too forward here as I've only just started editing the wiki tonight, but I'm hoping to expand it to the point of presentability, and it may end up attracting vandalism.  Serov 08:15, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Any of the community support team can give you adminship if you need it unless you're banned on another wiki. It's best to make some edits and get involved with the wiki before worrying about permissions since they aren't really needed on a new or small wiki. Angela 08:24, 3 November 2006 (UTC)/17:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll keep that in mind. I don't anticipate the wiki needing administrators until far down the line, but I figured I'd ask just in case.  Thanks for your help, in this and my my other questions tonight.  Serov 08:42, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

SgWWikia
G'day once more. Thanks very much for your continued support. ZPMMaker 04:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Is it possible to export every single page in my wikia without having to type each article name into Special:Export?
 * 2) Is it possible to make new page namespaces? This would need support in the search function...
 * 3) I am attempting to set up a board of users with various different permissions. At this stage I am the only one with delete and protect permission, and the only way of allowing others such priviledge is to make them sysops. However, I wish to set up groups who can only delete OR protect, not both. Is such a thing possible?

Edit: don't want them all to be able to block users, either... ZPMMaker 04:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * You can export all articles by downloading the database. I can add new namespaces for you as long as no pages already exist in that namespace. There aren't separate groups on Wikia for delete and protect. If you can trust someone to do one of those, you ought to be able to trust them to do the other, so splitting that probably wouldn't have much advantage. Angela talk 11:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Ta. ZPMMaker 13:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, could you create a new namespace with the name of SgWWiki Policy please? ZPMMaker 09:23, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for restoring the Lachfisch-Wiki and blocking User:Reiter. Please tell me, has Reiter destroy any other wiki on wikia? I hope, it was a one-time-act. --LLakritz 19:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Quick note on one of your comments
Hi again Angela, I was browsing recent changes which led me to Talk:Wikia, and I read a comment about a suspected troll. Well, you linked to Wikipedia's troll guideline-ish page and then to Wikipedia's article on vandalism, so I assumed you meant the policy page and changed it. Probably not a big deal, but I don't like editing people's comments without telling them, so... revert me if that's not what you intended! Serov 04:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the correction. Angela talk 04:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Banning User?
Hi, I am from the Sims Wiki, and lately I found this user has replaced the main page with "Delete this page" and has replaced a lot of pages with the repeating phrase "stupid game". I appoarch you because I hope that you can ban this user to avoid further trouble. Thank you very much! Chrisyudbs 08:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
