porting monobook to Monaco
Hey KyleH,

I'm actually in the middle of using my semi-limited knowledge and understanding of CSS to port it over. As I mentioned on IRC, Angela set us up a testwiki for doing some customisation <on. I'm partly through it, still need much more to do. :)

As for the front page, I was thinking more of a modular design akin to wowwiki's. Means we can expand a section or have a large poll, without worrying about other sections stretching have having massive spaces in them. :)

There is a bit of a design on the test wiki atm, but more than willing to change it. Also, the header background is only a temporary thing atm that I'm messing about with.

Re:organization
Sorry was busy on other wikia projects/ wikipedia and mass managing lots of other stuff so didn't get a chance to see much --Cs california 08:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Monaco skin
I saw your comment on the RuneScape wiki Yew Grove about using Monaco. Personally, I like monobook, and I know most users at our site do. It's just simple. However... I'm really liking Monaco now (Quartz, not at all). I started to create my own Monaco skin and was actually hoping to maybe present it to the community once finished as the Custom Monaco skin for our wiki. But, I don't know CSS, so a lot of my work has been taking things from other wikis (FFXIclopedia being the one I'm referring to, which you also suggested =]) and from a personal monobook of one of our users, adapted from a Common version I think mostly created by Richard1990 (but again, we like plain monobook, so the custom one didn't last long). But I have some issues and I was wondering if you could help, or refer me to someone who could. I know there's a staff meet-up going on, so the people I've tried contacting in IRC have been busy with other things. =P What I have so far is here and what it looks like is this. I'm aiming for something like this. Links on that first bar are what I need help fixing, and the links up top where it says "Gaming" next to wikia, because that's only visible because of the monaco skin I have set in the background, I know if I changed it to say, "slate" or something, it wouldn't be readable. Links in and TOCs are blue and hard to read also. And, if there's any way to insert a temporary logo, just as a way to test things out and see how everything looks when experimenting, I could use that help too.

Completed (Nintendo Wiki)
Alright, it's completed (I think). If there's anything else I have to do, then be sure to tell me. Thanks for adding the site to Spotlights! --Bentendo 19:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Namespaces added to article count

 * Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia. We need Portal, Card Lores, Card Names and Cart Artworks, added to the total article count. Thanks in advance.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 18:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, we need three more namespaces added (and to be specified as content namespaces, too, as well as the other four above), Set Card Lists, Set Card Galleries, and Set Card Ratios. These three need SQL commands, since they're currently occupied.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 20:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That idea sounds fine to me.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 16:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

GuildWiki Merge
I noticed I appeared on the list of account conflicts on GuildWiki. I'm just wondering why. I set up these accounts exactly the same, or does preferences have to be the same too? Thoughtful 03:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There were a few cases where people were renamed even if they had their accounts set up the same on both GuildWiki and Wikia. Please make note of the issue on the migration talk page and the tech team will take a look at it. --KyleH (talk) 06:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * According to Stabber, its fairly easy to merge contributions;

% cd wikidir/maintenance %cp ../AdminSettings.sample ../AdminSettings.php # (and edit it) % php reassignEdits.php GW-Warwick Warwick

Etc. For each person, change GW-Warwick to GW-{User}, and Warwick to {User}.

That should cause all contributions by GW-Warwick to be moved to Warwick. Though you probably already knew that. -- Warw/Wick 11:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple here, but we should still be able to take care of any rename requests fairly quickly. --KyleH (talk) 23:55, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Minor Navigation problem
We need the "More Hubs" button on the front page to travel back to the main wikia site like all the other hubs. But I don't really know how to add that blue arrow thingy. You might want to fix that sometime--Cs california 10:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Blatant content lifting by ZAM
Hi Kyle. Just a heads-up concerning a discussion going on on HammerWiki about another case of blatant content lifting. Your input would be appreciated. --Bishop
 * Hey! Thanks for the heads up ... I had just noticed it and was about to reply.  I'll reply on HammerWiki. --KyleH (talk) 22:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Edit button enhancement (StarCraft wiki)
We've made the changes to common.css - so I guess that means we're participating :) Kimera 757 (talk) 21:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Need help on evchk
Friendly KyleH,

Sorry for disturbing you, I'm one of sysop of evchk. I have requested new Parser on evchk (in topic Forum:Problem on using td tag in ifeq...), But I didn't know who I can contect for help. So, may I ask you for help?

Thanks

TibiaWiki, version change causing problems?
Nevermind -- moved to a more appropriate page -- Sixorish 11:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thank you!!! I actually also did just create templates by season, so that page isn't bogged down by all those parser functions. I hope that helps. Thanks again for tending to this so quickly! --ABrose 17:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Title blacklist for EVCHK.
I know that there is Extension:SpamBlacklist installed for anti-spam. And one of Community Team suggest me use that to protect articles to create.

However, I think Extension:Title Blacklist is better and easier for local wikia sysop to maintain.

May I request to install it for EVCHK?

Other questions: Should the Local Spam Blacklist add in MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist or MediaWiki:Blacklist title list ( such as c:evchk:MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist or c:evchk:MediaWiki:Blacklist title list)?

Also, I don't know whether the regular expressions of Spam Blacklist is in UTF-8 mode... --疾風綾希 17:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * To edit the local spam blacklist, you will need to add entries to c:evchk:MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. MediaWiki:Blacklist title list is used only for our global filter; changes on the local wiki version do not take effect.


 * Why do you feel that Extension:Title Blacklist would be easier to maintain than Extension:SpamBlacklist? They both perform almost the same function, so we probably wouldn't be able to install Title Blacklist when we already have SpamBlacklist available.  --KyleH (talk) 20:16, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
