USERNAME Template on GOW wiki
Yeah, unfortunately it still no work, I tweaked a little bit, nothing much, still no Darth tader appearing. If you wouldn't mind checking it and making sure I didn't screw up, I would greatly appreciate it. -- Darth tader Stop by 01:43, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah JS is very complicated, I still can't get it to work, I tried to remove the pre things. In the end It came like this.

{Test Test Test ****************************** {Test Test $gjsdglk {test hi yung

Test }
 * My point is it comes out either in the box or not, If I try to space everything one ahead it messes everything up. What a buggah this is:P -- Darth tader Stop by 13:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, it may not indeed look too "pretty" without the  tags, but the point is that it should work then...if it doesn't, I suggest you talk to Splarka, Wikia's resident JavaScript guru and also the author of that username trick. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot

Template:MCPO Foe @ Halopedia
Dear Jack Phoenix,

Thanks for tipping me off to speedy-delete that template. I was browsing Recent Changes, and saw your name poke up (I didn't see the recent change when Spartan781 AfD-tagged the template), and I was like "Hmm, what's our favorite Cabal sacrificer doing now?" XD

Anyways, it's been summarily deleted. Thanks for your housecleaning help at Halopedia, Jack. Much appreciated. ^^

Cheers,

 * No problem at all, we want to keep the wikis pleasant for everyone and remove the personal attacks. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiTutorials and use licenses - could you stop by WT Community Portal?
Ciao! Your user page at WikiTutorials asked for messages to be left here, so here goes... Could you express your opinion at the WikiTutorials Community Portal about the apparent clash between the help pages with a public domain "license" warning and the Main Page, the page footer and the Project:Copyrights all stating that the license for all WikiTutorials material is CC by-nc-sa? It is quite likely that there is no real (legal???) problem, but it looks confusing and makes at least me actually quite hesitant to do anything with the help pages :-(. Thanks! --Starbuck Qinan 06:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC) (a.k.a. Ronja@WikiTutorials)


 * Well, all "original" material is CC-BY-NC-SA, but those help pages have been imported from MediaWiki.org, the homepage of MediaWiki software, and thus they're on the public domain. See mw:Project:PD help for more info. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Username change

 * Is there some way to have the edit count of one user transfered to another?-- Shaelas (Ahto High Court) 15:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Nope. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Finnish request
There's a near-empty request at http://requests.wikia.com/wiki/Enelya with very little information. It might be a language issue -- can you try contacting the user and see what kind of project this is? (And can you translate the template into Finnish for us?)  Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 03:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Indeed quite empty...I've translated template:I at requests and left the user a message, asking for more details about the request. Thanks for informing me. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Just a note
Hi. You said that names cannot be changed but I am not so sure about this. The following is from http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Create_an_account#Account_deletion

''"It is not possible for accounts on Wikia to be deleted. However, if you decide after creating an account, particularly if you did so using your real name, that you would rather be anonymous, you may be able to have your account renamed. Please contact Angela if you require this. Renaming is not guaranteed, and may take some time to be performed. If your request is accepted, your edits will be reassigned to your new name. It is not possible for your edits to be removed entirely. You can request your user page be deleted, or you can simply redirect it to your new username.

If you have signed any talk pages, you will need to change your name on these manually. The easiest way to find these is by clicking "what links here" from your user page. There is currently no means of removing signatures from old revisions in the page history."''

If this is worng then the help page should be changed. manutius 06:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Angela updated that page today. As per that update, there's no way of renaming accounts currently (and most probably won't be in the near future, since such renames would be very database-heavy). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. Thanks. ))) manutius 14:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering
Do you, or know anyone that could tell me the server specs that Wikia runs on? -- 00:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)


 * No idea really, but I presume the servers are running Linux, like 95% of servers usually. That's all I know/can guess. Perhaps some Technical Team member knows better. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:22, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
