ParserFunctions
Could you please install ParserFunctions extension on Wikia? Some useful templates from Wikipedia use this... Edward Chernenkoo 06:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * ParserFunctions are working now. For example, = . Angela 14:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, it was working. It's been reverted because the upgrade was making the whole site too slow. Angela (talk) 01:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Help needed on Hebrew Uncyclopedia
Hi Angela, was wondering if you can help: apparently all of the Beaurocrats of the Hebrew Eincyclopedia (the Hebrew version of Uncyclopedia) went missing, and it is impossible to nominate new Sysops, which are in dire need. Can you help?

Thanks.

Rename
Rename me user:GangstaEB, please. Thank You!-Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 23:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


 * This isn't possible since all Wikia use a shared user database. However, you can create a new account and abandon the old one if you need to use a different name. Angela (talk) 03:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

List of Wanted Pages
Hey Angela - I posted a question I had about the list of Wanted Pages on Wiki24 in the Community Portal over there, because I notice that there are several pages listed as "wanted" that have no links to them and are just previously vandalized (now deleted) pages. I was wondering if you could take a look at both the conversation and the Wanted Pages and see if there's anything that can be done about it. One of our admins doesn't know why our list has those items on it, and another admin is pretty sure that it's because the items are all vandalized pages that have since been deleted. I was wondering if there's any way to get rid of them. Here's the conversation about it... Wiki24 Community Portal, and here's the list of pages... Wiki24 Wanted Pages. Thanks! -Kapoli 01:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what's causing this. I'll let our tech people know about the problem. Angela (talk)

Name change of EVCHK
In order to reflect the major purpose, we, the sysops of EVCHK, suggested to change the name of the site from The Encyclopedia of Virtual Celebrities in Hong Kong to The Encyclopedia of Virtual Communities in Hong Kong. Could you help me to change the name? The URL need not to be changed since the abbreviations of them are same. Thanks very much. --Hotplug 03:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I've moved the page at Virtual Communities in Hong Kong. Is that all you wanted me to do? I can change the Chinese name from 香港網絡大典 to something else as well if you like. Angela (talk) 03:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

desysop at dyskordia
Hi Angela. I'm one of the dyskordia.pl administrators and I would like to resign from this powers. I can't progress this Wiki. Please desysop me at dyskordia.pl ZelDelet 18:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. Angela (talk) 01:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Psychology Wiki Query
Hi Angela,

I'm a contributor to the Psychology Wiki and I have a question about some odd statistics about the wiki. If you look here then it appears that our Wiki has ZERO views, which seems very odd, because there should be a few (I mean I look at it!).


 * So then I looked at the Psychology Wiki's Popular Pages and those too seemed to suggest ZERO views.


 * So then I looked at your stats link Stats and noticed that although plenty of the other stats seemed about right, the column for Daily Usage, page requests and visits seemed to be empty.

This doesnt compare with our google analytics report for the site, which seems to suggest we've had quite a few hits in the last week. Do you know why the Wikia based stats are going wrong here?

Tom Mostly Zen 17:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC) (Heres my Psy Wiki userpage Mostly Zen)


 * We don't have accurate statistics for page views. s23.org uses Special:Statistics, but that page is wrong. Due to the way we cache pages to make the site faster, not all views are recorded there. wikia.com/wikistats doesn't include page views because we know the information at Special:Statistics is wrong and don't yet have a way of finding an accurate number. However, the more important statistics of how active your wiki is in terms of editors should be accurate, so I suggest you look at instead of the other stats.  Angela (talk) 03:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for looking into this for me. Mostly Zen

Closing wiki
Could you please delete my (upreka) wiki? Edward Chernenkoo a 12:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Religion
allright. I will move all of my religous content into the religion area if you tell me how to move it.Tyluthan 22:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

81.77.17.119
I've had to revert a couple javascript vandalisms done by this IP so far. Once on theDemocracy wiki, and again on the Email wiki. And I think Mindspillage had to revert the same thing earlier before I could figure out how to get around it. The javascript creates a message box claiming that Democracy is Gay. Having caught it on a second wiki, I'm thinking it might be worth checking on where else the IP has struck.--Kirk 00:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting this. The only wiki he still had unreverted edits on was dragonball. Angela (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

OSSwiki Namespaces
Hi, could you please change the project namespace of both de.oss and oss to OSSwiki for a consistent look. The current namespace for de.oss (Free and Open Source Software Wiki) is a little too long. -- Muffin 09:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Addition: Having an extra Glossary(en) / Glossar(de) namespace for explaining technical terms like FTP might also be useful. -- Muffin 15:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll reply at w:c:de.oss:Benutzer Diskussion:Muffin. Angela (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

News box
Hey. I've translated MediaWiki:News box into Polish, but the Polish version it's viewable only here and on pages where default langauge is not Polish. On all wikis in Polish newsbox is still in English. Do you know what's wrong? Szoferka 03:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll have a look later today. Last time this happened it was just a caching issue and it started working by itself after a few hours, so maybe that'll happen again. Angela (talk) 03:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not cache, I've transalted it a 12 day ago and still nothing. Szoferka 03:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. I've reopened 161. Angela (talk) 02:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Bureaucrat at Stargate Wikia
Hi Angela! I'm an admin at the Stargate Wikia and wants to make Marco Polo an admin as well. He has earned it, but somehow I don't have the priviligies to make him an admin. Since the "leader" of Stargate Wikia is nowhere to be seen, I wonder if you could make me a bureaucrat so that I can make Marco Polo an admin? Thanks in advance for anything you can help me out with. All blessings! Peter R 09:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC) (Answer at my Stargate talk page)
 * Hey Angela, thanks for helping out by setting Peter R's status to beaurocrat. However, Peter said he would be on vacation and I don't think he'll be around for a while. So can you sysop me directly? —Marco Polo 20:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure. I'll do that now. Angela (talk) 01:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Shorthand subdomain
How can I create a shorthand subdomain for stargate.wikia.com like sg.wikia.com? I know it can be done, because w:c:ff redirects to w:c:frequentflier.


 * ff only redirects because the wiki was originally at ff but later moved to frequentflier (ff should actually have been reserved for a wiki in Fula). We usually try to avoid using language codes as the subdomain since we're saving those to be translations for the Central Wikia. For example, the Polish Wikia base is pl.wikia.com. It's possible we'll want the Sango version at sg.wikia.com one day. Also, redirects are only added when necessary (like when a wiki has moved) and not just to make a shorter URL since it can be confusing both for readers and search engines to have multiple locations for the wiki. Angela (talk) 01:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Image Uploading
Hello Blipo. This is the Central Wikia, so I don't think images like Image:Gather.png are relevant here. Did you mean to upload these to a different wiki? Perhaps you could find where you're meant to be from the List of Wikia. Let me know if you need any help. Angela (talk) 05:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Well damn. I don't know what I'm doing here! My friends said, "make a wiki for us!" So I did. I have no idea what I'm doing; I found an image upload function and uploaded my images. Could you explain what I did wrong, and what I should do? I made a wiki page on the Scratchpad, |here.

How do you use in Wikia?
I am customizing my wiki and seem to have hit a wall when I try to add the add character box on the bottom of Wikipedia's edit page to mine by copying MediaWiki:Edittools from Wikipedia to my wiki. The edit box uses scriptlets embedded using a tag. Wikia doesn't recognise it and some research tells me that it is not standard MediaWiki. Is there a way to manually code insert scriptlets, or is it possible to install the extension to Wikia?


 * This requires an extension. I have requested it be installed at 176. Angela (talk) 02:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Andrewdt85
Andrewdt85 is an idiot who has been banned from the Straight Dope but is still obsessed with that forum. Everybody hates him and the only place he can advertise his wiki is on the snarkpit, which is full of trolls, so don't expect any serious edits to his wiki.

I suggest you stop wasting your time on that creepy loser.
