Hollywood U Wiki
Can you please help me with my wiki? My Wiki is almost never noticed. I need help with the main page, well that is just minor. I really need help with improving my templates. Also, please guide me at other things to make my wiki better. Also, can you please help my wiki to get noticed more by internet viewers?

Templates that I need help with:

 * Infoboxes
 * Also, can you teach me some new templates?

 * Hi NerdyMovieStarHWU. To be approved for help, the community must meet the best practices criteria linked at the top of the page. In your case, the amount of stubs (short pages smaller than 200 bytes) will need to be less than 20% of total pages. Also, these uncategorized pages will need to be categorized. That said, we have some help pages, and a video, that you may find useful for the things you're wanting help with.
 * Help:Templates
 * Help:Infoboxes
 * File:Mainpages 101 - How to make a great mainpage for your wiki


 * If you still need help after you've dealt with the stubs and uncategorized pages, submit a new request here, and I'll be happy to help. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  15:43, November 10, 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi ADTMP. To be approved, the community will need to meet the best practices criteria linked at the top of the page. You'll need to lower the number of stubs (short pages less than 200 bytes) and categorize these uncategorized pages. Once that's been done, submit a new request, and I'll be happy to help.

About promoting my wiki, Heroes Wiki
I need something to promote my wiki (Heroes Wiki hero.wikia.com) and have a banner for "Around Wikia's network" and the Wikia's main page.--AlexHoskins (talk) 20:13, October 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Alex. The thing you're describing is what we call a spotlight. You can request a spotlight for your community on this page. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  15:52, November 10, 2015 (UTC)

Coder's Wiki CSS help needed
I'm the founder @ Coder's Wiki, just looking for help with using custom CSS in templates.

I'm trying to keep individual templates clean via the use of custom classes, but my class styles aren't being displayed and I have had to revert back to (bulky) in-line CSS

LIZ Wikia
Hello! I am the founder of the LIZ Wikia, a wikia dedicated to providing information about the American singer LIZ. I am submitting the request because I would like to have a wordmark designed for the wikia. I have no super-specific guidelines, though I would like it if it could be black (so that I can colorize it in GIMP to fit with the themes), with text modeled after this logo and a clear background.

I'm the only admin and only contributor so far. Yep. We have 51 pages as of the time I'm typing this out, and I'm still adding more. Check here. Since I'm the only one editing, it's a pretty stable environment. Done. No inappropriate images, though some of the lyrics on song pages are pretty explicit. :/
 * The requester should either be an admin or link to a discussion with an admin agreeing to the help being requested. If there are multiple active admins, they should all be in agreement with the help being requested.
 * The community should have at least one active admin, meaning he or she has made at least one edit in the last 7 days.
 * The community should have at least 50 content pages. Stubs (pages listed at Special:ShortPages that are less than 200 bytes) should make up no more than 1/5th (20%) of all pages.
 * The community should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate the site. Every content page should be in a category. (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty.)
 * The community should not be in the middle of choosing new admins or any other upheavals. It should be a stable, friendly place.
 * The community should be using the welcome tool, signed by the admin(s) (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin).
 * The community should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.

Even if my request cannot be fulfilled, thanks in advance~

 * Hi KCCreations. LIZ Wikia looks good, so I added it to the list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  17:13, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Wardstone Wiki
Hi, I am the admin from  Wardstone Wiki  . I was wondering if you would be able to design a logo, involving the logo from the cover of the books by Joseph Delaney. Thank you!

LordNyan6802 (talk) 08:03, November 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi LordNyan6802. Wardstone Wiki meets the criteria, so I added it to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  18:46, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

4 O'clock Club Wiki
Hey,

I've just been made an admin on 4 o'clock club wikia and I was wondering if you could help with the main page please? It's quite dull at the moment. Here is what it's like:

http://4oclockclub.wikia.com/wiki/4_O%27_Clock_Club_Wiki

I would like it if the main page was like this:

http://girlmeetsworld.wikia.com/wiki/Girl_Meets_World_Wiki

Only with the headings red with white text and in a font similar to the one on the wordmark (something bold).

Thanks

Grangehilllover (talk) 19:08, November 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Grangehilllover. Only an admin can request help. I see that you removed your admin rights very soon after receiving them. Also, the community will need to meet the best practices criteria linked at the top of the page. Specifically, these uncategorized pages will need to be categorized. If that's done, then an active admin may submit a new request. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  17:14, November 18, 2015 (UTC)

Ice Age Wiki
Ripto22475 is a friend who i have currently watching the wiki for me. Macrauchenia has not been around in a few months, tends to return but not stay for long each time lately.

Help Request

 * 1) I need help with background removal for all the new characters and higher quality logo from the recent new character reveal video posted on the official facebook page. i did my best to grab screenshots and uploaded those to the wiki. Unsure if you are able to obtain higher resolution ones.
 * 2) I also need help with a custom portal that i created - photoshop file, was wondering if i could somehow send it to you.
 * 3) It also seems the snow.js script is no longer as effective as previously, the falling snow seems limited to the left side for some reason. unsure if you can help with that.

Logo
Hello i'm Ras Benjih. It is possible to change logo to my desired one. Thanks!

Ras Benjih (talk) 14:59, November 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Ras. If you're an admin, you can do this. Go to the admin dashboard (Special:AdminDashboard) and click on the Theme Designer icon. Using the theme designer, you can upload a new wordmark (logo). See more info at Help:Theme designer.
