Help
Essjay, I need help with a MediaWiki page on the KOTOR Wikia, could you paste the info on w:c:kotor:MediaWiki talk:Common.css to w:c:kotor:MediaWiki:Common.css?


 * Sure, I'll do so tomorrow (when I'll be around longer to help in case anything breaks, I'm just popping in for a moment right now). Essjay ( Talk )  01:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks.

Done! If there are any problems, let me know! Essjay ( Talk )  02:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

GPL Images?
Essjay, I know it's slightly off topic. But I've searched over and over, many times in my life but I've never found a good source of graphics like the ones you've uploaded for your 'useful links', much less a resource with public domain or imges under GPL. Where do you get your images? I've finaly decided to fix up the plain style of my userpage and do some things to change the way I see things myself when logged in on wikia after all this time here.

 * Actually, I found those at Wikimedia Commons, where there are categories full of various icon themes (see Category:Icons). I've also found some good GPL icons on www.kde-look.org. Essjay ( Talk )  01:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Request for New Wiki
Hi, Brian40 told me to ask you this. I was wondering if I could create a Star Wars Shadows of the Empire wiki. It is a project from Star Wars. It has a novel, Graphic Novel, Graphic novel Sequal, a soundtrack, and a video game. I own all of the above except for the soundtrack. I have read all the books and comic books, and have beaten the game 2 times. Please let me know what you think, Thanks, Quinlanfan 20:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * All wiki requests need to go through the process at w:c:requests:Request_Wiki:Request_a_Wikia. Once everything is in order there, we'll be happy to take care of it. Essjay ( Talk )  02:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I made a request. What do I do now? How long will it take? Thanks, Quinlanfan 04:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * This is a new system for making requests (before, it was usually one person immediately making a decision, but now we are involving the community). Most likely, very highly supported Wikia can be created within hours (or even less, if the original pitch is persuasive enough that the Wikia could be successful, will be edited, and is different than any existing Wikia). Some are rejectable immediately, (for example ones that go against the Wikia Terms of Service, or ones that duplicate existing Wikia). For the others, it could be days or longer until the community influences the decision of the Comteam. Probably any Wikia that don't get a lot of supportive comments (or answers from the requestor for more info, or that the comteam just doesn't happen to want to create) after a few weeks will be 'rejected' (we have yet to decide a policy on this).
 * What you should do is monitor the request page and answer any comments anyone might have on it, as well as giving more information about it (who will edit it, what scope it will have, what you forsee as the type of content it will have, etc) if you can think of any more. --Splarka (talk) 05:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Alright, I found out that one person supports me. How long will it take for yall to decide? Quinlanfan 18:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I now have 3 people who support the idea. How long does this kind of thing take? How long do you think this one will take? If it goes through, I will be the founder, right? since I thought of it. Quinlanfan 04:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

As Splarka said above, it's a new system, so there aren't hard and fast rules. We like to give sufficient time for everyone who is interested to comment. My advice would be to wait patiently until the commenting is finished. Essjay ( Talk )  12:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Even though I requested it, am I allowed to put a support thing on there? Quinlanfan 17:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
