Help me please!

First, If I'm an adopt admin (not founder), can I let another people be co-adminitrastor with me??? Or just founder can do it???

Second, in forum page of some wikis, can I creat post by comment box? I will look very nice and don't make confusing. Can I post at comment box???

 * All bureaucrats, founders included, can promote other people to admins. And I'm not sure what you mean by the second part - do you mean article comments?

Okay, every normal page in all wikis, all have last section Comments. There are many comments box that anyone can post their ideas. I think the forum page, the user should post their ask, talk, answer at comment box, not by the classical way (click on the "Edit this page"), it look nicer and so easy to post.

 * Article comments are only for actual articles on some wikis. Not all wikis have that feature enabled. The forum pages do not have comments nor are they likely to get them ever.--


 * In theory, you could put them on with JS. But they use AJAX and I'm doubtful that the server would let you use that for editing the page instead of posting a comment.

Oh, I'm a wikia member just for 1 month, can you tell me what is JS or AJAX??? And Is there have a syntax for comment box??? User:XiaoQiaoGrace 15:23, March 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * JS stands for JavaScript, which is the basic scripting language of the internet. AJAX stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML, and is an extension of JavaScript that allows you to submit queries to a server while still on a webpage. AJAX requires both the server and the webpage to know what they're trying to do, and since we can't change the server, it's unlikely it would allow you submit comments on forum pages.

Oh, thanks, I have learned a new thing JavaS and AsynchronousJAX, thanks. Other, can I make a template name "Comment box???" If can, help me the syntax!!! User:XiaoQiaoGrace 02:40, March 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's probably not possible, because the server needs to know that the article has comments. And you can't force it to do that with JS. You can request that staff add comments to forum pages by sending a message to Special:Contact if you like.

Thanks, a wiki has a hidden adminitrastor, ??? Is that wiki founder doesn't log in for over 2 month??? Please show me how to know a wiki founder??? And how can I change wiki icon??? ( link:...wikia.com instead of W) User:XiaoQiaoGrace 04:23, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you go to Special:ListUsers on your wiki, and you choose to show only bureaucrats, the founder is generally one of the bureaucrats, or more often the only one that is a bureaucrat. To change a wiki's icon (or favicon, as it's known), just upload a new one to File:Favicon.ico. Be aware though, the image that you upload to be an icon needs to be a file with the extension ".ico". You can convert images to that format on websites such as this. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  09:00, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the .ico, I have try listusers but I can't find who is wiki founder!!! The founder is not logged on over 2 month (mean no local admin!!!). Please show me another way. Another thing, I'm a sysop of one wiki, how do I can be a bureaucrat when I have contributions most in the wiki??? In wiki, it is one logged in bureaucrat but he/she don't let me become bureaucrat... If I hang on, contribute more and more, how I can be bureau??? Thanks

 * Bureaucrats are the only users who can make other users bureaucrats, with the exception of staff when you're adopting a wiki. Also, if the founder of the wiki hasn't made more than 5 edits, they won't be shown on Special:ListUsers by default. You'll have to set it to "show all users" to see them.

 * That's JS. You can probably find the script in their MediaWiki:Wikia.js.

Dead Wiki
Help me informations!!! I founded a wiki on mid Feb, why I can't adopt another wiki until mid April??? Can you help me that??? Can I found another wiki now???

(Xiao Qiao)


 * You're not allowed to adopt a wiki if "You have founded, adopted, or been given admin access on another wiki in the last 60 days" (from the Community Central:Adoption requests) page. Sovq 11:10, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

The Aveyond wiki aveyond.wikia.com has been dead, I have build other Aveyond wiki aveyondseries.wikia.com and now it is rising more than the dead one! I have contact Angela and request closing this dead and change my wiki ULR to aveyond.wikia.com but Angela said that the dead has 44 pages, she can't close it. The admin of dead not log on since Feb 6, I will wait 60 days (mid April). Until then, How can I request to delete all pagesof this dead??? I'm not admin!!! Please help me, please!

(Xiao Qiao)


 * Well, since you're not a founder or admin on that wiki, you're not allowed to delete any content. Furthermore the edit you made on the main page could be considered as vandalism. The wiki has some activity so it's not really 'dead'. You'll just have to treat that wiki as competition to your own. You can always request merging the two wikis, instead of deleting the old one, but for that, if I recall correctly, a community discussion on both wikis is advised. Sovq 07:27, March 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * As Sovq said, you will not get Wikia to delete it. However, if you wait until you are eligible to adopt the wiki, you can adopt that wiki and then merge the two. --

Thanks for let me know! How can I request to merge two??? Request to who??? If request, I still be a bureaucrat for my wiki right???

Forumheader help
Hi, please help me this template how to use. About template Forumheader, how can I add it to the new topic that I create. Easy okay, I create a forum page. Before edit, I see the Forumheader box. How do that?? How add this template when click at "Add a topic" in my wiki?

Xiao Qiao 15:11, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * The inputbox has to have  as one of its parameters. It should do that by default.

I edit my wiki forum page: break=no prefix=Forum: preload=Template:Forumheader/ buttonlabel=Add a topic width=50 But It don't work. I don't know why! Xiao Qiao 15:23, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you link to the page with that code?

Okay, can you help me check the forum w:c:vi.phineasandferb:forum:Phố Danville (P&F vietnamese wiki). You edit for me please, and trying to add a new topic ("Tạo đề mục mới") and see. Thanks Xiao Qiao 15:36, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure, but I don't think you have a forumheader for that forum (the search function can do weird things when you mix languages). You need whatever the vietnamese equivalent is of Template:Forumheader/Phố Danville.
