Welcome
Welcome,, to the Central Wikia!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual Wikia, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialise and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new Wikia, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help reverse spam and vandalism.

Help?
Hi! Thanks for the message on my talk page. To be honest, I do have one question. I have spent a long time trying to find out how to change the name of my wiki. Although the front page says that it is called "Two Pints Wiki", on the main page it says "Two Pints and Grownups Wiki", it's old title. Could you please help me change it? I have asked on some of the help pages, but no one's answered yet. Thanks! --Twopintsfan 19:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. It's been changed.  Let me know if you have any other questions!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 21:28, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! You don't know how much this has helped me!  Thanks again! --Twopintsfan 19:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Categorizing?
Hi Wendy,

Thanks for helping me with getting A Wiki of Unfortunate Events back up and running, but I have a question. Why does the information in my wiki have to be categorized?

And on those spoiler tags, I didn't put some of those there, the founders of the wiki did. Unfortunately, the founders abandoned the wiki about a year ago and then I found it and immediately started working on it.

Also, since you said that you recognized that I would like more people on my wiki, do you know of any ways to advertise about it somehow?

Thanks,

Search picture
Wendy,

On Wookiepedia, I noticed that the search box had a picture on it and I thought that that would look cool on A Wiki of Unfortunate Events. I don't know if you are still checking out this section of my talk page, and I know you help with the Entertainment Wikia's, do you know how I could this search like that.

Thanks, --Asoue 01:45, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I will also post this message on your talk page.

Wendy,

I think I figured this out with that page you gave me. I also figured out how to personialize my signature ( ~ ). I can make one for you if you like <:-).

Re: Spotlight
Hey Wendy, Thanks in advance for the spotlight on the L&O wiki! I'll make sure that every article is categorized. Greetings, --ThePegasus 16:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again Wendy, I was wondering how long the waiting list for the spotlights could be. I requested the spotlight a month ago...and still nothing. Several other wikia's (for example GTA and Recipes wikia) do appear, although they haven't been on the waiting list. Anyway, just checking. I hope the spotlight will appear soon. Thanks for your help.

Wanted Articles
Hi, Merrystar, I was wondering if you could tell me how to delete wanted articles off of the wanted articles page, because there's an article that's not supposed to be there, at all, wanted or otherwise. If there's a way to remove it, could you please send me a message here on how to do so. Thanks. Pyro Python 00:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Merrystar, that article's gone now. :)

Categorizing Pages
Merrystar or Wendy, whichever you prefer, I was wondering if there was a way that when a page with a certain prefix is created that a category is automatically included. I mean like with the Card Trivia: and Card Tips: prefix pages. If there is a way, could you tell me how? If not, is there something similar to it? Thanks either way! U.D.K.

Question
Hi Wendy, first of all, thanks for all of your help in getting the WWiki up for spotlighting. Secondly, though, on April 4th, you left me a message on my talk page, saying that my spotlight had gone up. I haven't seen it yet. Is it coincidental that I haven't seen it, or is it not up yet? Thanks again, Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 13:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks :)

About the monaco skins. I made them the default skin for the site, but my fellow Bureacrat, Kitsufox reverted it, going back to Quartz. I've fixed it back now, hopefully she'll let me keep it this way this time :p Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 17:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Lemony Snicket Wiki Spotlight
Hi Wendy!

I was wondering if I could use the Quartz-custom skin instead of the Monacco skins. The Monnaco skins just don't- eh...-fit on that wiki and I'm just not too keen on them (except that the custom ones look awesome on the Doofus wiki and others like it). Also, what all would I put on a welcome page?

Thanks,

Asoue1286

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for your offer to help with records.wikia.com I started this wikia earlier but soon I found out that, even with my basic html knowledge, I was having hard time setting up the wikia. I'm afraid I won't be any use to this wikia any longer. If anyone else is interested to take it over, please do so.

kind regards, arthur Urarthur 12:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Dark Angel Wiki
Greetings! I appreciate your offer of help, and I could use some of it. So here's my question: How do I create a new infoboxes for my Wiki? Mighty MeYou may speak 01:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

For the moment, I just need a Character Infobox. If you can make that for me, I can probably base the other ones off of it when the time comes.

I'll need it to have the following fields:
 * Species
 * Group
 * Occupation
 * Status
 * Portrayed By

If I think of others, I should be able to add them myself. Mighty MeYou may speak 03:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Layout question
Hi, Wendy. Thanks for offering your help over on GingaWiki. I have a question about layouts. You see, I'm an idiot when it comes to css coding, and I tryed to enter a css layout on my page, via the Monobook.css page, but it doesn't show up on the site. Could you please help? :)

Also, I was wondering if there is any site out there that offers Wikia layouts, as me and my pals are too busy/dumb to make one ourselves. Thanks.

Club Penguin Wiki spotlight
Hi again. Actually, we do have a Welcome template. It's found at Template:Welc on the Club Penguin Wiki. I'll have some of the other users on the wiki to start working on the categories. When we're done either stop by or I'll drop you a line. Thanks!-- B a r k j o n 16:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

on the wikia spotlight page
people are clicking leave message and so arn't seeing the message saying please put new requests at top, maybe you should consider putting that message on the top of the page (visibly) so people can actually take note of it.

R.E. Illogicopedia
Thanks for the reply, we're not decided on what to do about monaco yet as consensus has been taken, but at least you said we were doing well, so have an Illogicopedian pat on the back & my own personal thumbs up :D -- 07:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
