Welcome
Hello, I am a community Manager here at Wikia. Please add new messages to the bottom, thanks :)

If you're looking for help, you can leave a message for me here or visit our help page. If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one!

New Badges
Can you create new badges for all the wikis? We could add Platinum badges for 1,000 of something and badges or creating pages. It could help us.........I'm not so sure....... but I'd like to see some of those badges. Like an Adopter badge for Adopting the wiki! (I'll get that badge on my wiki!)

Hi Sarah
Hey, Godisme deleted everything i wrote in adoption requests. I told he in his talk page that if he do that twice, he will need prepare himself. If he do it again, I need you to block him. Please.--Small Owl 16:26, March 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Alternatively, please ban Small Owl for threatening me. Anyway, I merely undid his edit to the adoption's request archive. He is putting in a new request and I told him twice to not edit the archive but the regular page. It seems he still does not understand though.--
 * This sounds like a misunderstanding Small Owl--- Godisme was pointing you in the right direction, not trying to change your request. --Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:50, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Redirected pages?
Thanks for your response, but I've discussed the problem with the most regular contributors as well as the active administrator and they've explained the situation to me and its a problem they are looking at rectifying in the near future. Thanks anyway. Alexsau1991 (talk page) 16:31, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, is there a list of pages that were redirected I can help to undo? Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:48, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * In the next few days we are going to be repurposing the wiki to focus on aspects of the fandom so a number of pages will be deleted (three entire sections really) and replaced with others. Just letting you know so you don't accuse us of vandalism again. -FH14 00:53, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Excuse me I gave you fair warning. Please stopped removing the tags for deletion I have added as those are pages we will be removing. -FH14 01:47, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind it seems the edit feed looped for some reason. -FH14 01:57, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Background problems!
Hello Sarah! I have no idea why this suddenly got messed up, because it worked not so long ago. What I have done on www.TheDemonCycle.wikia.com is to change the background colour and image in the CSS code. And as mentioned it worked out great at first, but now, when you try to edit or create an entry that background is also affected. I'm not really sure how to explain it, so it would be much easier if you just quickly checked it out.

Thanks!

 * Another team member was able to make a quick change your css and viola, its fixed! Happy editing, Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:13, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

VSTFuser
Hi Sarah, can I become a VSTF user? I've helped and stopped many vandals on the Sonic News Network. I've dealed with many vandals there, and I've been trying to protect wikis, and I have been trying to become a VSTF user so I can deal with vandals and if they don't listen I will ban them, so then I can help wikis more. If you disagree, that's fine, but still I want to become a VSTF user. -- I Pity The Fool. - Mr.T 22:21, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Our Wikia is dying!... Please HELP!
Dear Sarah, My name is Dmitry, I am editing TLBB Wikia (tlbbeu.wikia.com). Since last week none of our contributors can edit or add any article. Instead after clicking on Edit button we see white screen (I can provide screenshot if needed). We've tested it at different browsers at different computers and networks: the result is the same.There must be something with our Wikia settings. Please help us and unblock our Wikia editing option!

Thank you very much for your help!

With great hope,

Dmitry.

 * We are investigating the issue right now. Sorry for this problem and we hope to have it fixed soon. --Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:50, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

[content removed as discussion is continuing on that wiki]

The problem has been fixed! Thank you very much, Sarah and Co! :)

Badges
Hello. I have a request. Can you take away the badge system for my wiki and put a following list there instead? I don't really like the badges, and I'd like my wiki to be like the older wikis. Here's the link to the wiki. Warriors theory wiki. Thanks. 19:51, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is their consensus from the community on removing badges? What do you mean by a "following list"? Let me know more details and I am happy to help. --Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:50, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Like your following list says "Pages I'm following". I'm not sure what "consensus" means. Sorry.  20:46, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

A few doubts !
Hi Staff mem..( U are right ?!) I've got a few doubts, mind if u can clear 'em for me ? : Thanks in advance ! User:Roranoa zoro11:03,3/25/2011 (UTC)
 * 1) In a certain wikia, the navigation bar doesnt change no matter what I do !
 * 2) Can we use custom signature to a particular wikia and keep the default sign for other wikias ? ( I really want it to be that way : [ It's really buggin' me ! ]
 * 3) How to create a bot [ Please explain ! ]
 * Hi there -- Yes I am a staff member :).
 * the custom signatures is a part of your preferences and so applies everywhere not in just one place.
 * You can read about bots here. I don't have one, so I can't be of much help on creating one.
 * Best of luck, --Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:50, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks mam . But u didnt answer the Q-1 !
 * woops missed that somehow -- I just did a test there and saw my edit take effect. Be sure you are following all the steps listed here. (for example you can only have 4 level 1 links, you had 5 there). Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:36, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Help with my website
'''How do I make my website to Monobook? (For everyone)''' My wiki is in here --הארי (Uvero) ╬ מידע עליי ╬ דף השיחה שלי. 15:43, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

You cannot make Monobook the default. It can only be made your personal skin--


 * I'm not sure he's talking about a Wikia wiki. Non-Wikia wikis can make the default skin Monobook, but it should already be that way.


 * Scratch that, after looking at the fixed link it is a Wikia wiki. As Godisme said, you can only make it your personal skin.
 * As Godisme and Monchoman45 said, this can only be a personal preference and not set for your whole wiki. --Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:50, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Recreate my talk page

Will you make new badges soon?
I've earned several of the badges at http://complipedia.wikia.com/wiki/Compliens and I was wondering..... can you make some for creating pages, can you also make more platinum badges? What about an Adopter badge? Please create these badges! (P.S. How do you get the sharing badges?) Also make badges for adding videos.

Username Change Request

K, so, my blog is messed up. It's all centered after the table and the small and center tags aren't working. Please fix this.

Also, that wiki is experiencing technical difficulties. We can barely edit, the comments won't show up all the time, and replying brings you to the top of the page. Can I know what wrong?

Please reply on my talkpage, as I'm not on this wiki much. -- M T  D  M  19:16, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Two wikis the same
Hi I have a wiki about the graphic novel which i created(url: http://Boneville.wikia.com/) but i notice that there is another wiki(url: http://Bone.wikia.com/) aout the same thing but with not as many images, templates. I'm just wondering since my wiki is a bit better would it be possible to delete the other one and take it's url: Bone.wikia.com and make it a redirect to my wiki.

Just asking

ShehbazAhmed 18:46, April 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi there. We do allow users to create multiple wikis on the same topic, so this is not an appropriate reason to delete a wiki. You can, however, reach out to editors and admins on that wiki and ask if they would like to move their content over to the larger wiki, and close the smaller one. If we have their approval for the action (or if you show a sincere effort to contact them for a few months and there is no activity or response from them), then you can submit this request to Special:Contact and we will consider it. Good luck! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:09, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

Armored Core Wiki: Spam Filter Issues
Greetings there, I am from the Armored Core Wiki and was wondering if you could help me with a problem.

The spam filter is blocking us from creating a page. Here is the following text:

The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a blacklisted link or pagename.

The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: AWA

If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.

Return to KARASAWA-MK2. Sorry, your edit could not be saved. (210)

In an attempt to fix this problem, I clicked the link to VSTF wiki to try to report this, but for some reason it keeps saying that I am unallowed to edit the page to report the problem. Here is what it says when I click the report false positive button: You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: You do not have permission to edit pages You can view and copy the source of this page:

Could you help me? I would really appreciate it. Farmboy28 22:09, April 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi there. You should now be able to edit that VSTF page. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:56, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

I was blocked on this wikia for no reason
Hi Miss Manley, I would like to share what this member did.He blocked me and I did not even type anything into any page.My request is to block him for a year and please undo the block on my account.The link to this site which I was blocked on is http://fusionfall.wikia.com/wiki/FusionFall_Wiki.My username is Fusionfaller 141.The blocker is Fusion Aquaabyss.He claimed that I had typed in false information.Please give me my account back from what he did ma'am.I thank you very much.God bless you!:)


 * Hi there. If you feel the user made the block in error, you should discuss it with them and explain what you were trying to do. If they still believe the block was appropriate, our best advice is to wait out the block or join one of the thousands of other communities at Wikia. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:42, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hello again!
Hi, Sarah! I have a few favors to ask you. I dunno if you will be able to, but if you can, can you please remove the badge system from Battle: Los Angeles Wiki? I just created it and don't feel that it would help my Wiki after the problems it caused for me. Also, I have to talk to the other administrator on the Wiki in order to do this first, but you may recieve a message from me within a few days requesting the deletion of James Cameron's Titanic Wiki. I think it's too hard to waste my time on a Wiki with a topic that is not of interest to most people anymore. Besides, I was unable to cite a lot of my sources and do not feel that I could create a reliable encyclopedia on the film with such little information given on most of the characters. It's been hard for me to do it, and a lot of the articles on the website are stubs. In the meantime, can you delete another Wiki for me? Here is the URL: James Cameron's Titanic Answers. Thanks for everything!

We need Your Help!
Sarah, hello hope you are having a wonderful evening. I am the Bureaucrat from the Charmed Wiki. I know you have probably had enough from this wiki but we really need your help. You know the user HalliwellManorAkaDsc385? We blocked him from the Charmed Wiki and you blocked him from the Community Wiki and his own Charmed Legacy Wiki. He is creating so many accounts to edit on the Charmed Wiki, we have attempted to block all of them, but he just keeps coming back. Users have left because of him Sarah, you have to see this. I know you can see this; I have received so many complaint emails. So has my other Bureaucrat and a few of my admins. We started a vote as the Staff suggested to see whether users wanted HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 to be blocked, and they all voted yes bar one user. I think that is enough don't you. To get to the point, we cannot take anymore from HalliwellManorAkaDsc385, can you please do something? Block his entire IP, Globally block him? -- Khan - Talk - Email 19:55, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Has he edited since his last ip was blocked? --Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:29, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * The last user we blocked was SydneyPresscot; we blocked that user about 2 hours ago. --

Khan - Talk - Email 20:55, April 12, 2011 (UTC) Message:
 * I am also an editor on the Charmed Wiki, and I have NEVER seen someone (who has been blocked 3 times) continue to come back. I just received this message from him. He simply doesn't get the meaning of "Blocked". He is a nuisance!
 * You keep repeating the same thing "leave Charmed Wiki" ... I think not. I am not going to be pushed away from a wiki I contributed significantly over 2 years by newbies who insinuate they are better than me and that they are completely innocent of any wrong doing. As PiperHollyCharmed and I have said, the reasons for blocking me are frivolous and ridiculous. I am expected to wait out a block that is completely unjustifiable when Khan and Andrew didn't wait out their block and contributed as unregistered users and when Glenn was unblocked after only a day after a block I created on him for consistently locking articles. There is absolutely no reason I should have to wait out a block that is completely ludicrous when other people didn't wait out blocks that were 100% justifiable. Dsc385 00:07, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

- He continues to claim he isn't PiperHollyCharmed, but the wikia staff has already confirmed the same ip address. He is using, HalliwellManorAkaDsc385, PiperHollyCharmed, Dsc385 and now SydneyPrescott... and no end in sight. He simply doesn't understand the concept of being "blocked". I just wanted to back Khan, and let you know what's going on from another wiki user. I'm just getting REALLY tired of this user...he won't go away! Buffymybasset-- 00:13, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

p.s. his lack of understanding "being blocked", is quite scary. He stalks the page...it creeps me out.
