You need to check in on your "Design your own Photo Galleries" on your blog
People are waiting for answers. ;) Glittersword 17:56, August 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * You are so cruel. You keep telling people to move talk page discussions over to the blogs, but hundreds of real people are waiting for requests on several of your blogs, and you have either given no answers or added empty, buttery comments like "We're working on it" and/or "it is so nice to see how many comments users have contributed to this blog!". Give us real, straight answers and honest input, and take each comment seriously, as each was posted by a real person with real emotions. -Volatile Dweevil :(
 * If you check back on that blog, you will see that Kirkburn, the product manager for that tool, did leave a comment about some of the issues brought up. We are working hard to keep up with all comments, on all blog posts. Since there are so many, we are not able to answer all, but have been posting updates that address the main issues.

Achievement awards
I wouldn't have a problem with the achievement awards if they didn't include awards for adding categories. We have a problem on the iCarly Wiki with users spamming categories to win awards, and it messes up the organization of the wiki. Could you suggest this to someone? Thanks -- SeddieBerserker  ( talk ) 21:02, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, yes I will share your feedback. I would also recommend deciding as a community some guidelines around achievements, and letting people who spam know about them. Sometimes just leaving an encouraing message about why you don't want folks spamming (said in a nice way), can go a long way. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:31, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Blog trouble
Hi, uh... how can you find other people's blogs? Can you add others?


 * Many wikis have set up blogs, which show you recent posts, such as the staff blog. That is a good place to start. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:33, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Torchwood Wikia
Hello. You may remember the other week I contacted you about Torchwood Wikia. Since you contacted the user, an anonymous user removed all content from my talk page on that wikia, then five minutes later, the user Trikster 87 left a message on my talk page. These being so close together makes me think it is the same person. I'm not sure of policies across all wikias are that you should not wipe another user's page or talk page, but if it is, I believe that the user did so. The message read "You didnt need to tell the wikia staff would you stop posting messages about dang copyrights.". The user then proceeded to block my username for a year under the reason of "annoyance". I believe this user has abused his powers as an admin. I would strongly advise a wikia staff to warn this user that what he has done is not acceptable, and I feel somewhat concerned that a user as such, who believes that this is a good reason to block another user, is an administrator on so many wikias. Thanks for your time. The Thirteenth Doctor 20:48, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hey. In the original email I received (I believe it was from you) you asked to provide a list of pages which copied information from the TARDIS wikia pages. The user was warned and was given over a week, and has seen the messages, yet has only edited one page.

I have compiled a list of pages which have copied information. The first link at each bulletpoint is the page which is in violation, the second is the closest version of the page from TARDIS from which the information was copied. I have hidden the list in a show box to save space.

Could you please delete these pages. Thank-you. --The Thirteenth Doctor 20:27, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * The problem is not so much that these pages are lifted, but that the attribution that the copyright license CC BY-SA requires is missing. Somebody should educate Trikster87 that he should use Special:Export (on Tardis) and Special:Import (on TorchwoodBBC) when copying pages; that would satisfy the license. If he does that for all of the pages listed (he doesn't even need to delete them), he'll be fine. -- ◄mendel► 05:13, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, as mendel said, they can follow those steps. Let me know if you need me to contact them again. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would tell them that, but as I said above, the user blocked me, so I cannot contact them. If you could unblock me, or if it's easier to talk to them, that would be appreciated. Thanks. --The Thirteenth Doctor 20:03, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Help Needed
Hi, Sarah. A friend of mine has a wiki for a comic he created: Total Drama College Wiki, his username is TheZobe. The wiki was created by one of his friends named TT66. TheZobe is a beauro, but he would prefer that TT66 was not either a beauro or an admin, as TheZobe is in charge of the comic, and TT66 is not a very experienced user. I don't believe the wiki is set up where beauros can change beauro rights. If you can help us out without making it a big ordeal, that would be greatly appreciated. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 17:10, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is the TT66 currently a bureaucrat or admin? Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Poll System
Hello. I am having issues on Wiki of Creations with the poll table. When I put up a poll, it says that there is a "Database Error" and that "yourcreations.poll_info doesn't exist." I do not know what this means, and I do not know if I screwed something up. May I please have a little help? -- Rainbowroad6w (-: 23:27, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, there is currently a bug in the poll system on some new wikis. The technical team is aware and working to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Shoutbox
I've noticed that the Wikia's New Look FAQ has a section saying that the widgets are largely unused and will not be included. While I can agree that most widgets are worthy of deletion, the shoutbox is widely used and is beneficial to the community aspect of wikia. I feel that the shoutbox attracts many users to wikia and that removing it would be harmful to wikia's wellbeing. I have no objections to the removal of the other widgets, and I doubt that there are many users that disagree, but I would like the shoutbox to stay. As such, I was wondering if it would be possible to keep the shoutbox in the new layout but remove all other widgets. If it doesn't take undue effort, I feel that including the shoutbox would be in your best interests, because it would allow wikia to retain many of its current users, attract new users, and placate users that are angry with wikia about the other changes taking place. - Is drak  thül  20:53, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Extension Request

Hi
Just a suggestion but on the notice you posted all across Wikia that blog commenting would be down you said quote; " Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Wikia."

I think if you want to really improve Wikia you should make the new skin optianal and keep the shoutbox, have you seen this petition?? http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Killr833/Petition Anyway I am trying to keep Wikia communities best interests at heart but since you force the new skin on everyone eventhose who don't want it I guess you don't really care.

Torchwood Wikia again
Hi again. I left a message in the above section over a week ago, so you obviously haven't seen it. You said to let you know if I needed you to contact the user again. Well, I do. Since the user blocked me from using the wiki and posting on his page, I asked an admin from the TARDIS wiki to talk to him. The admin posted on the 8th of September, but nothing has been done yet and no reply given. I would ask you to once more contact the user in a final bid to get his attention and get him to use the Export Import functions. It has been nearly three weeks since I first asked him to at least cite the pages, which he has simply ignored me, blocked me in an attempt to push it off, and even ignored you. I believe this warning should be their last. --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:36, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Since the above message, the user has actually blocked the admin from TARDIS wiki, Tangerineduel, though this time gave no reason. That is two users he has blocked simply to try and eradicate a problem. It really annoys me that someone such as that can have these powers on several wikis. I don't know how many other people he has blocked for similar or other unreasonable reasons, but it's the fact that it actually reflects badly against the user, especially during things such as adoption requests, where the user must not have been blocked from using a wiki before. I strongly suggest something be done. The Thirteenth Doctor 19:25, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
