Earlier cloak request
I had requested a cloak on the first of the month. It's nothing urgent, but I was just wondering what up with that? Is there any other info required on my part? Thanks.--Darth Oblivion 19:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it has been done, but I can't check since your nick (Lord_Oblivion) is set to private. Can you check when you're next on IRC to see if it's working? Angela (talk) 21:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I should see it when I whois myself, correct? Unfortunately, it hasn't changed.--75.68.134.170 05:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll ask freenode again about this. Angela (talk) 19:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it appears to be working now. Oops, didn't realize I'd forgotten to log in before.--Darth Oblivion 22:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

this is unfair
i made a mistake and one of the admins blocked me for 1 year hes name is CY


 * If what's written on your talk page is correct, it seems Cyrus made a fair decision. Angela (talk)

Who's Online
Greetings Angela,

When is the Who's Online special page going to be back online for Fiction wikia? I'm looking forward to using it.

--Yunzhong Hou15:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it has something to do with the Who's Online function on the Shout Box being broken. MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This has to be rewritten to be more scalable. I'll try to find out if there are plans for anyone to work on it. Angela (talk)


 * Good news - this is planned to happen next month. Angela (talk) 09:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Helpers
Hi Angela!

I don't know if I'm supposed to be bugging you about this, but I have a few simple questions about wiki (Wikia?) helpers. First of all, do they volunteer from home? Can they choose what wikis that they work on? Where can I find out about becoming one?

I am interested about becoming a wiki helper, but I don't really want to if I can't do it from my own computer.

Thanks,

P.S. What are user boxes?


 * Wikia Helpers has more information on this. Often the people with this are interns. We advertise open positions on the hiring page and that will have details on whether or not the position can be done remotely - it usually can. User boxes are templates people add to their their user page that give some information about them, such as which sports team they support, etc. Angela (talk) 19:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Name Change
Hi Angela. I was just wondering if you could possibly change my username... I was searching the forums and found that you were the person to contact.. Anyway, I would like it changed to ATMarsden, in line with my other usernames scattered accross the internet...

Thanx, Andrew Marsden 20:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Andrew. Unfortunately, we don't yet have any way to change usernames on Wikia. The only option is to create a new account with that username, but your past edits will still be attributed to your old name. Angela (talk) 20:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * How could I then transfer my sysop and beaur. status on Dilbert wiki across?? Andrew Marsden 20:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Never mind.... i realised the stupidity of my above question!!! ATMarsden 20:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Let me know if you want me to de-admin your old name after you've made your new account an admin/bureaucrat there. Angela (talk) 20:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Madness (again :
Well i added to adoption a couple of minutes ago and the founder, whos conveniently is in the room next door to me, found out and removed it, then said he'd put top trumps wiki up for adoption, even though i edited on it minutes ago.I guess the only way to stop him if he removes it again is block him.Do you think thats what i should do?Also he has no plans to continue editing there.Sgtcook 20:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * If Kingcjc wants to be active on the madness wiki, it doesn't need the adoption notice any more. You don't need to worry if you don't want to be the admin there. Eventually, other editors will find the wiki and start helping out. Angela (talk) 21:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I asked him he said yes.Sgtcook 15:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I am gonna adopt the Tolkyen-wiki
Angela, can ya please make me one of the Tolkien language wiki admins? I will adopt the wiki. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 06:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for offering to adopt it. Once you've made some edits there, I can make you an admin. Angela (talk) 07:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I will make some templates. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 07:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Is there any article content you could add? The best way to revive an inactive wiki is to add something that people interested in the topic will want to read. Angela (talk) 07:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * How many edits are required? I tried to ask you but I couldn't because of a edit conflict. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 07:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There's no requirement like that. It's just usual for someone adopting a wiki to be already active on it. At the moment, the wiki isn't being used, which means there's not really any need for admins. Adminship only gives you a few extra tools for cleaning up the wiki. Is there anything you think you want to do that need admin access? If not, I suggest you simply work on the wiki for a bit longer as an editor. Angela (talk) 07:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Why: So I can edit MediaWiki pages and block vandal IPs. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 08:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

PS. I will do test-blocks on users named "Dagothtest(number)". Dagoth Ur, Mad God 09:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I've warned a vandal IP. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 09:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I would like to be an Tolkien admin now, please. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 01:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Angela, could you please make me an admin on the metal wiki? Thanks!  • Hammerise

janitor behaviour.
Hello Angela, i would like to call your attention to the latest disruptive actions of one of your janitors. Would you be so so kind as to ask him to stop his destructive behaviour. I think this proves that he is the one that is sabotaging and provoking, not me. His actions are the only reason i abandoned two wikis i founded myself and which made me really hate Wikia because you let a guy like him go unchecked and even make him semi-staff. I would like to ask you to tell this guy to let off. I don't know him. He has been harassing me ever since het picked that fight on http://paradox.wikia.com.

Tell him to stay away from me. This is an official complaint. if this is not the right way to complain, i will do it by Email. 14:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * DGNeree, I strongly suspect that this is a vandal account and not the actions of a trusted and respected Wikia janitor. Why don't you calm down and politely ask for a Checkuser first before hurling accusations of vandalism at members of the community? -- Codeine 15:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Codeine, are you for real? If i remember well, you were the one calling me a troll on irc after which Manticore banned me. Your testimony of a trusted and respected janitor means nothing. I've checked the IP. It is Manticore. 15:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't recall, but if I did call you a troll, it would be because you were trolling. If you wish to discuss that or any other issue further, I suggest we take it to my talk page and not clutter Angela's.  My response here was intended to assist you in determining the true identity of the person who defaced your wiki in an attempt to keep a pleasant and respectable atmosphere within the community. -- Codeine 15:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

How could you possibly have my IP? -- Manticore   (talk)  15:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Codeine, and how would i do that, since I was permabanned from Uncyclopedia by someone, i forgot his name, but who i remember only from spamming inanities on irc... oh yes, the Led balloon or something like that. I wasn't trolling then, even if it is possible to troll on #uncyclopedia. On the contrary: I have always objected to the way people there are subject to just the filth and the random degradation and op-abuse from which Manticore has obviously learnt a lot lately. But yes, let's leave angela in peace. i've said what i wanted to. Sorry Angela.  15:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
