Plants vs. Zombies Wiki custom badges
Is it possible to create custom badges like those I have noticed on the RIFT Wiki? --Swampert rox 21:20, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

A meaningless block by the administrator
Hey this is Wildoneshelper (cont. Uhsting) (talk) (edits) again and I'm from http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Ones_Wiki again.

Recently, some pages are blocked by no reason. Those pages are not the ones which are the cores of controlling and affecting the wiki so much. They are just only informative pages. The pages are not private and doesn't expose some information about the user or community. The following two pages are http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Falcon and http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Turkey. Please unblock them or if not, reply at my talk page. Thank you!

Question about the Bioware Giveaway
Hello, I do not know if you are the manager of the giveaway or whatnot, but I have yet to receive an e-mail for notification that I have won the contest. I appear to have (I am Nicholas Jones), and yet I have no e-mail to reply to, so I am at an honest loss. I have, however, received the Old Republic books that came with my prize. I assume the game will come on the date of release if I don't have to contact Bioware to know I am still alive. If you cannot answer my question, please direct me to whoever it is. This is a little embarrassing for me.

Re:Uncharted Wiki news tip
Hey Joe. Thanks for the news update. I've written it all up now. The new character seems really sinister. Really can't wait for the game to come out.

Thanks again. --Klock101 19:21, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia administrators/bureaucrats and CVs
Hey Joe*, I'm leaving you a message since, well, you're the least unknown staff member to me. It's a suggestion/idea I need your help deciding on whether or not it's worthwhile: give administrators and bureaucrats the ability to earn reference letters from Wikia as recognition of their voluntary service to the community and Wikia as a whole.

This idea stems from a workshop I attended at an academic scout meeting in Warsaw earlier this month, during which we discussed how to translate scout activities into entires in a CV. I think it'd be a great way to reward administrators and bureaucrats for their completely voluntary participation in Wikia affairs, though of course it'd require oversight to avoid abuse. I was thinking about preparing a full proposal, but I decided that first asking a staff member most relevant to the Wikis I look after is a better course of action. So, do you think that such a project has a chance of success? http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 14:24, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

User Group Right Changes for League of Legends Wiki
Hello, I am and administrator on the LoL Wiki, and we currently need some help. A few months ago we held up a vote to change the rights of a Group so users that belong there would have more power. But unfortunately we haven't been able to get someone to change it. So, could you change the rights of the User Group "Moderator" to the following:
 * block
 * commentedit
 * commentdelete
 * commentmove
 * editprotected
 * noratelimit
 * move-subpages
 * movefile
 * suppressredirect

Thanks in advance. Sam 3010 19:30, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for anwering, but it seems they are still not working at all. Also could you check why our Recent Blogs is not showing the actual recent blogs, the latest one it shows is one from March 1st, we always have problems with it not refreshing inmediately, but it never took so long to refresh.  Sam 3010 19:30, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * On further testing we realized that the only rigths not working at all, are the following:


 * commentedit
 * commentdelete
 * commentmove
 * editprotected

Thanks for your help. Sam 3010 19:30, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your prompt message, on the test account I am able to edit protected pages now, but I can't do anything to comments yet. Neither delete, edit or move.
 * Exactly, neither I as Test Moderator nor our other Moderators can see the "Edit" and "Delete" buttons that I am able to see as an Administrator.

Sam 3010 19:30, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it would be okay to give them the "delete" right, but would this mean that theywill also be able to "edit" comments? ::Ok, thanks for your support on this problem. Sam 3010 21:56, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Ongoing Vandalism
Hey JoePlay, I might have posted this somewhere else, but in my opinion, it is getting out of control. Earlier today there was just a massive spree of vandalism on the ME wiki, which was eventually stopped by Angela and VegaDark before I logged in this morning, however the problem is that the user still keeps coming back, and frankly, in my opinion, it is getting out of control. I know you already did a range block on IPs, but I was wondering if there is anything more you can do. Also the attacks are starting to get personal, the latest user name was Jack's the name, Lancer, deal with it. I have a few suspicions about why this is happening, mainly the ME Wiki’s speculation policy, but again is there anything more that can be done? Lancer1289 19:26, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Tron wiki background
hi, I have a question: how did you hammer out your background in tron wiki so cool.

Large GIF Animations
Hello, this is Sam 3010 from the League of Legends Wiki again. I needed to talk to you about a problem we ran into when adding GIF Animations bigger than 5 MB for our new project. The gif is not loaded into its page nor into the "New Files" Special Page, showing this message: "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters", the only thing you can do is go to the page where there is nothing else but the picture. This also creates a bigger problem, whenever a vandal edits a gallery to show all new files, the Recent Activity Page becomes really glitched until we push that edit from its first page.

Example here:Image not loaded, go to our RecentActivity Page and show more edits until you see the glitch. Whenever that appears on the first page, everything glitches.

Sound Files Project
Hello, this is Sam 3010 from the League of Legends Wiki again. On our newest prospective project we intend to add audio whenever we click or hover over a quote. But the user in charge of creating the template or figuring out how to add the format ran into some problems and sent you this message, to which i just wanted to add some context:
 * I recently had Uberfuzzy give .mp3 file upload permit and enable FlashMP3. Unfortunately, that extension is kinda...abandoned-yet-functional - tends to eat up CPU when used multiple times, can't be used in a template ("Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information." error), and no customization.

Prototype wiki
Hello sir, I recently adopted Prototype wiki. I improved the main page, but couldn't find a suitable background for the wiki. However I found on the prototype 2 website. I tried to add Mercer to the image but it didn't turn out well. I noticed that you previously made the main page banner image. Any chance you can help us with the background image, since I can't find any suitable image of Mercer. Thank you. Vatsa  20:18, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hello from Restuarant Wikia and Canada :)
Just thought I would say hello. I'm from Canada and working to fill out Restaurant Wikia. I used to be a voluntary editor on chefmoz.org but they are no longer around (you can still search but they have been defunct for about a year and their data on crash day is stuck at 2007 info). I've also edited on many other directories and was curious about the restaurant listings. Hopefully I can help this Wikia out!!

Hey Joe. Howzit? I wanted to ask you if I may make a blog post to get some gaming Wikis a bit of attention and hype for E3? I know Wikia normally does this stuff, so if you rather I'd not, I'm cool with it. Have an awesome day further. -- Zombie talk • blog 05:12, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, JoePlay. I would like to thank you very much for the new background and wordmark. It stinks that I must wait for the wordmark to kick in, though. Anyway, they are both really awesome, an once again, Thanks for making them :] 20:32, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

I'm Somewhat Confused...
Hi! I requested help from the Content Team and was recently approved (I'm the founder of Harry Potter Fanfic Wiki). On the request page it says that "The Content team make all final decisions and design work will be at their discretion". So does that mean I just have to wait for you to do your stuff? Or do I have to do... something else? Look Out Sunshine Here comes 12 jammy dodgers and a fez! 16:23, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, well, I'd like some help with the skins and the main page. I don't really have any preferences to the background picture or layout of the main page, so you can do whatever you think looks best! I've seen most of the other wikis you've helped with, so I trust your judgement! Thanks! Look Out Sunshine Here comes 12 jammy dodgers and a fez! 21:46, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

First of all, the background looks really great! Thanks! Secondly, the Main Page; I rather like the idea of Stars Wars Fanon's page layout with all of the boxes. As for the content, most of it is necessary apart from the 'Projects' and the 'Fanfictions' sections. Look Out Sunshine Here comes 12 jammy dodgers and a fez! 17:03, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

QuizArticle?
Hello there, JoePlay! Maybe I'm not keeping up with Wikia updates, but I'm from Zeldapedia and I noticed in the RecentChanges that articles were being added under a new namespace called the QuizArticle namespace. Initially, I thought it was vandalism or the sort due to the namespace not existing (at least to my knowledge). I then decided to contact the user responsible, finding you to be part of the Wikia Content Team. Due to errors, I can't view the pages (though I assume this is because I use Monobook). Not really my concern, my concern really lies whether this is a mandatory update style thing to all wikis or this was some sort of test or something. As far as I know, none of our admins or bureaucrats were contacted about this on-wiki, which is why I ask. - McGillivray  227  02:35, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Zeldapedia want no part of any changes you might want to implement until its, well, implementation is settled by community discussion. Delete all the pages and related images as soon as you can. We'll contact you when/if we might be interested. --Auron  Kaizer !  05:26, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
