Welcome from me, too! It's always nice to see new community team members! :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome aboard, Catherine. Will be good to have you with us! --rieke 18:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Halopedia
Greetings, I am Spartan 1138 of Halopedia. I was looking over the anti-vandal items that was presented by you guys. I disagree with them but that isn't what I am here to talk about. In my opinion the page for the Anit Vandal Coalition doesn't encourage the act of vandalism. I think it is the people who go on the vandal's talk page and say stuff like 'you vandals are all dumb and you're going down'. Another user and I have brainstormed some ideas on how to make the AVC more in line with Central's ideas. Here is the idea page: http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Ideas_for_the_preservation_of_the_AVC&t=20070404222635

I would value your opinions and would love any ideas you may have--Spartan 1138 00:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Help is always good :)
i have a question: is there any way to change the colors of the google ads table? --Erdimus 19:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Astro
Mrs. Catherine, thank you for ask me that. Yes, there will be links to other Astro wikis and to Bulgarian Astronomy sites. I am a member of Astronomical Association Sofia. Sorry for my bad English. I speak German and Italian.Chavjedi 15:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Half-Life Needs Help
Do you remember me from places like Halopedia and House? If not, ohh well. Anyways, i wanted to contact you about giving me Bureaucrat access to the (en) Half-Life wikia. It's currently dead, 11 articles, no sysops, almost no editors. I saw it today and i would like to fix it up. I'm sure i could get people like RR to help me. I already know how to be an admin, as I'm an admin of the Halo Fanon Wikia. I'm a great member and editor of Halopedia, just ask anyone there, I'm even their Halopedian of the Month. Within two months of my joining of Halopedia, i have almost 3000 edits. I've played the Half-Life games, i know there's a big following for the game, the people just don't know about the Half-Life wikia. So, can you help me out?

Thank you very much. I'll do my best to get the site back on track.

Actually, i do have one question though. How can i get the Half-Life Wiki Logo changed? Right now it's just the central wiki logo, i'd like to make it something a little more Half-Life(ish).

PS: I'll get working on the game listing right away.

Hey, i hate to keep bothering you like this, but i have one more issue. How can I remove a user's admin power? And if i can't, could you do it for me? I made RR an admin of the Half-Life because he said he'd work on the MediaWiki templates, etc. He has yet to really do anything overthere. I'd like to take back his admin powers, he isn't doing anything other than average user stuff, he doesn't need admin there. I'm afraid he may just have wanted the title of being an "admin" of another wiki. Could you help me out? There are other users there that deserve admin powers more than RR.

Quick Help in the ER Wiki
Hello again, Catherine!

The worst of my out-of-wiki responsibilities have passed, so I'm returning to spending more time working on my server's community and the Earthen Ring wiki.

One problem that has always irritated is in the biobox template. The box is, by coding, 250px wide, and all images inserted into the info box are resized to fit into it properly; however, text does not wrap in the box, sometimes grossly distorting its width. Is there a way to automatically wrap text within the box?

Thanks for the help!

--Lilithia 16:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help, Catherine! That should help immensely.  (Now I just have to remove the line breaks from the old Biobox pages.)


 * As a note, the Infobox Biography is the older template for the same function. All new pages are created with the Biobox.  In time, we're going to move all character pages to the Biobox and phase out the old format, entirely.  The change is one of the first goals for the new character page sysops, who will be brought in over the next week or so with the rest of the staff reformation.


 * By the way, I forget: Was a way to place a background image into tables ever discovered for use in the new Storyhead template?

Orionsarm
I think you misunderstood what Orion's Arm is. Orion's Arm already has a lot of content and does not need a wiki. I was requesting a wiki for projects related to Orion's Arm, but I will try on Novelas first. Eyu100 18:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Licenses
The Earthen Ring Wiki is currently protected by the GNU FDL, just like many of the Wikia wikis. However, after reviewing the document I feel that it may not entirely protect the works of our users as well as they could be. The GNU site suggested the Free Art License for artworks. I feel it may more adequately protect the content on our wiki, the majority of which being comprised of original works and not really fitting the spirit of the GNU Free Document License.

What do you think about this? Would this cause us more complications, or better protect the creative works of our users? Would there be a way to protect our site with the FAL, and make that apparent in the same way as the FDL is placed on other wikis?

Heroes Wiki -- Thank you
Catherine, I wanted to thank you for your comments at User talk:75.80.137.192. I'm an administrator at heroeswiki.com, and many of our users were appalled at the vandalism for which one of our members was responsible. I replied to your comments and echo your sentiments. If you have any questions, you can contact me at this link. Thanks! Ryangibsonstewart 08:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Landing page
I liked your idea for a Landing page on the community test wiki. I fixed the IE glitch there which caused the searchbox to be thrown to the right. It reminds me of wanting to make something that looked nice as a portal for the 4 corners of the WGEP whenever the WGEP got a home wiki above the other wiki in the project. But I liked that idea there enough that I think I'm going to borrow that page and combine it with the PD help from MediaWiki.org which is on the Animepedia to make a nice new Help page. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 24, 2007 @ 06:59 (UTC)

Musicality wiki
Thanks for the comments re Musicality. I have posted a note about this on http://r3ok.myforum365.com/index.php?topic=970.0 and will see whether there is further interest. I can help anyway, though whether this community will want its own wiki or be interested in taking over/helping out with this one I can't say at this stage. I'll wait a few more days before making the decision for them!

Enterprise Software Wiki
Catherine, Thank you for your reconsideration!

Here are some alternative names:

ERPedia

ERPhistory

ERPsoftware

Could any of those work?

Thanks again!

MediaWiki on Half-life Wiki
I noticed the other day that images weren't showing up when you click on them on the Half-Life, i checked some other wikis, like this one, and the images are there. Would you have any idea how to fix this? Or if you could look into it for me, as you have greater access than i. Thanks.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 02:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes i am. Did you actually clicl on the images. Because once you click the image it takes you to that image's page, however, the image appears as a tiny black dot.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ]

I'm sorry if i'm annoying you, but i just don't know who else to contact. So, did you get a chance to look at the images yet? I saw you took a quick look through, but you need to click on the images to see the problem. If you clcik on the image itself, it takes to to that image's page, once there, the image appears as a black dot. Several other issues involving images are also occuring, such as the Search Icon. Jack P. already checked it and said i did everything correct, but for some reason it wasn't working.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ]

Thank you for looking into it. Sorry again if i'm bothering you, but RR said he too was having the same issue with the images. I'll ask some others if they have problems. At any rate, thanks.

 * Thank you so much for taking the time to customize the Empire of Ashes page! I've ben wondering for a few days how to do it, so I certainly appreciate you taking the time to do it, and so does my community! It looks wonderful! Do you have any sources that might explain how we can edit it in the future? Thanks a million more times! Antonicus Aurelius 13:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Catherine,


 * I have a question reguarding the layout of my Wikiapedia. Is it possible to change the links in the side-bar under Navigation, Community, Help, etc? Please get back to me at your earliest convenience. I appreciate all the help that you've provided and continued to provide! Dangers Untold / Antonicus Aurelius 19:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * My apologies for not getting back to you sooner! Life has been a little hectic here lately. Thanks so much for your assistance in pointing me in the right direction to customize our Wikia. I really appreciate your continued support. I'll be sure to let you know if we run into any further questions. Dangers Untold / Antonicus Aurelius 14:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Catherine,

I found a custom skin that I liked on the site that you directed me to. is the location of the style, but I am not sure where to copy it to in order to change the style of the page. Is the account that I am useing the administrative account for EoA?

Thanks again for all of your continued help and support with our growing Wikia community. Dangers Untold / Antonicus Aurelius 06:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

IMDb
Thanks. Took shorter then I thought. Thanks a lot. Can't wait to get started. I'm thinking, could you recomende a name. What sounds better, IMDb Wiki or IMDb Wikia? Maybe it should be IMDb wiki (IMDb wikia). Anyway. One thing I'm thinking about. Is there any way of leaving out all the and  from my mini Wiki. That would save a lot of work removing them one by one. --Steinninn 09:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the logo, I've commented on it at the forum. --Steinninn 05:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Duran Duran
Hi, just curious. What dose the DuranDuran Wikia logo mean? Is it a logo from the band? --Steinninn 11:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, a logo from their Seven and the Ragged Tiger album. :)  — Catherine o' the ComTeam 19:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for your help on the Harry Potter Wiki. We really needed it. 08:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Staff Bot
Hi Catherine! This is a reminder note. We discussed the creation of a staff bot on the IRC channel. Please let me know when this is up and working, as I would probably find it very useful. Thanks, -- TaviRider 17:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

WowWiki
Is wowwiki a wikia wiki? i ask because i could use their help for Warhammer Online :) But i dont even see a link from their site to wikia.com :( Erdimus (talk) 07:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

EDIT: Ok they are part of wikia :) Will you merge the servers? are you going to copy login names etc? Erdimus (talk) 06:58, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey there!! Sorry. =S
Dear Mrs. Munro,

I sent you an email, not sure if you've gotten it. I was informed recently that I'll be away during the 3-day weekend and will be back on Wikia only on Tuesday. Then, I thought...Hey, if I told Catherine on IRC that I could meet with her on the weekends, and I don't show up...Special:Regexblock is a veeeeery un-nice thingie to face from the Cabal. (the cabal part was *cough*not*cough* joking, but the rest is true) ;-) Yeah, I won't be on during the weekend. Tonight (like sometime now-ish before my parents send me off to bed ;D) or anytime after Tuesday morning would work for me! Later! Sorry for bothering you again! ;-)

Cheers,
