User talk:Angela

Welcome to my talk page! I have a new baby so I'm not checking this talk page as frequently as I'd like to. For a faster response, I recommend that you can contact Wikia staff using the contact form or contact the community on the forums.

If you're looking to become an admin, please see the Adoption requests page.

Please add new messages to the end of the page.

Can you help me with a problem with another user?
Hi, I'm an admin on the http://potcoplayers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity. A user (http://theunitedalliance.wikia.com/wiki/User:Captain_Matthew_O%27malley) a while ago was promoted to a Burecrat by an Burecrat who went kind of crazy. The new guy then started deleting pages, demoting and banning the admins, banning users, promoted random people and cursing up a storm. One of the users he promoted turned against him. He returned the powers of the admins and we got the bad user blocked and demoted. After he was demoted he made a new wiki, a direct copy of the Players wiki. http://theunitedalliance.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity.

Also, if you look at my talk page on his wiki, you can see how mad he has been at me and how much he has been cursing at people. http://theunitedalliance.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Stpehen

He has since made a blog and started to impersonate me. He logged off his account and said he was me. He started cursing himself out basically. Of course I had to censor the post...

If you could take action about this, it would be great. He has been yelling at me for a long time and I just want him to stop. -Stpehen admin of the potcoplayers wiki.


 * This is a problem the community needs to resolve. If it's happening on other wikis, it's best to not visit those wikis and ignore it. Angela 07:35, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

links
How come the links on the wikia websites don't change color when visited them. 76.111.83.212 16:45, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is because of the CSS settings which you can change at special:mypage/wikia.css if you are logged in. You can get CSS help on the forums. Angela 01:15, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

For Administrators {18003}
Japan is a helper to help others become helpers.--Yard 05:49, May 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * You are not a helper so stop saying you are.--


 * I'm not sure if you're asking for admin or helper rights here. Angela 05:53, May 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Angela, he has been going around all over community central telling people that he is a helper. Despite multiple people saying that he is not, he refuses to stop saying so.--

Promotion of Wikis
I need help promoting my wiki. Can you give me a couple tips? respond on my talkpage. Señor Parrilla|Mr. Grille (talk page) 11:35, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Charmed Legacy Wiki
Hi Angela, can you please restore my bureaucrat status on my wiki - CharmedLegacy.wikia.com? There are currently no admins or bureaucrats on my wiki and I need to make changes to the main page, delete articles, blogs, etc but I can't do that without bureaucrat status. Sarah blocked me and removed the status but unblocked me on April 21 but she forgot to restore my bureaucrat status.

Thanks!

 * Have you tried asking Sarah about that? Angela 00:21, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Changes to user rights
w:c:ja.bttf and w:c:ja.transformers from the administration just do not get to the bureaucrat?--Yard 04:04, May 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yard, you are not going to be given any more user rights such as bureaucrat or helper. Please stop asking for these. Angela 05:56, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry--Yard 05:59, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Angelaさん先日は失礼しました. 私は、英語が全然話せません. 今まではGoogle 翻訳を利用していました. これからは、すべて日本語で話をさせてもらいます. 今までの一連のことでは、まず、私が英語を話せなかったことを御理解してください. 私がこれまで言いたかったのは、私をヘルパーの一人にしてほしかったのです. 現在、私はTommy6さんにサポートをしてもらっていますが私で出来ることは私が実行したかったからです. その分Tommy6さんが楽になると思ったからです. できれば条件付きでいいのでヘルパーにしてもらったら幸いです. ご理解ください. すみませんでした. --Yard 10:29, May 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Below is translated message from Yard.

Sorry Angela for my previous post. I'm hard to write English. So far, I've used Google Translate to write English. From now on, I'll talk to you all in Japanese. First, please understand I was hard to write English. The correct meaning of my some previous contributions on this wiki was "Would you like to make me a member of helper group?". Although I've been helped by Tommy6 currently, I want to reduce burdens for him by doing such helps by myself. If possible, would you like to make me a helper? If you think some restrctions/qualifications are needed to adopt the right for me, I'll accept these. Thank you.
 * Note that my translation is not perfect and may contain some small mistranslation though I payed attention not to spoil the main point of his message. Thank you.-- Tommy6 helper（Talk/FFXI/Anipedia+M+N/Scratchpad）13:23, May 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the translation. We are not adding any more Japanese-speaking helpers right now. Angela 11:11, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

Request
Good, I am called Sasukeuzumaki. I would like to ask the position of Administrator in it is. H2o.wikia.com, since the current administratrix (Halliwell123456) does not do anything. Simply it limited itself to copying of another wiki the front page, but it did not do anything and already it takes time done the wiki. Because of it I would like to direct I the wiki.

If something goes badly written, pardon, peros is that I am Spanish and I used a translator.

Sasukeuzumaki 21:28, May 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * You may be able to adopt the wiki, or you can start a new wiki on the same topic. Angela 23:46, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Meep Sheep

 * Hey Angela, It's Artieandtinaforeva, an admin from the Glee Wiki. There is a user, by the name of Meepsheep that has vandalized templates and uploaded very graphic and disgusting photos that link to viruses. We keep banning her, but she changes her IP address and makes more accounts via nor. The Glee Wiki isn't the only wikis she has vandalized, she has also vandalized the Icarly Wiki, and the Sonic Wiki. Please Range-Block her. I am still a little hazy on this, so if you want very detailed things please contact Finchelfanno1, another admin on the Glee Wiki, who knows a lot about this. Thank you for reading this, and please fix this soon! Thanks so much!

 * Meepsheep has been taken care of--
 * Actually, I've talked to Meepsheep. He came on my XAT box. He uses proxies, he will continue to vandalize here. Is there anyway we can put a range block on her? --Bullet Francisco ''Don't Be a Jerk to the Bullet!  18:38, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

I can not access my Wikia account
Hello. I have not been able to access my Wikia account, because I was hacked on the internet and all my passwords were changed. And it seems like my email was removed from my Wikia account, because whenever I try to log in it says "Your e-mail address is not yet authenticated. No e-mail will be sent for any of the following features.". I'm not completely sure what it means. 75.214.113.63 20:51, May 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * You're out of luck - there isn't any other way to get your password back. The best you can do is guess at what it was changed to.

Okay. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea who hacked me, so it would be too difficult to guess or anything. That's fine, though. 75.214.113.63 20:59, May 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please send details of your username to staff using special:contact and we will try to help. Angela 23:53, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

Copyright infringement on one of the projects
Good day. On the project The Elder Scrolls Wikia(RU) one of the participants in the last few days uploaded a description of quest in the game Oblivion, taken from the site of Летописи Тамриэля. (Example: quest on The Elder Scrolls Wikia(RU), and same on Летописи Тамриэля) Perhaps the same way, and other articles have been copied. PS: I'm sorry about my badly english. 178.71.205.183 17:52, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know whether that site has given permission for use of its content. Have you tried talking to the editor on the wiki that added it? Or to the admins on the wiki? Another option is to edit the page yourself and remove or replace the content. If you need any staff help, please send an email to staff using special:contact. If the copyright holder wants to request removal, they can also contact us in that way or via copyright at wikia.com. Angela 23:52, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

A familiar feature
Hi Angela, I think that you have known the familiar feature in wikipedia and other languages, the feature is download a page as a PDF, the page that readers like. I wish this will enable on wikia. More and more people all over the world visit wikis in wikia everyday, there are featured good articles that they love to read. Like wikipedia, this feature is easy to download as PDF when they click on the traditional navigation. That will let them easy to print and collect the page as a book. It is great, isn't it? The wikia should have this too but the PDF button should be put in the head of the page, I think more people will like it. But I have asked Charitwo and he said that this feature is hard to enable, is this true? Please let me know about it!

Wikia user,
 * --Candineas (Candace & Phineas Flynn) - ( leave a message ), 14:25 May 21 UTC


 * I think we did try it out in the past. Either it didn't work well or it wasn't popular enough to keep. I don't remember which. Angela 04:02, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia
Hi Angela, I clicked a link on this wiki to Uncycolopedia but I wasn't logged in. I tried to log in by clicking that thing in the right corner but when I did, it said my username didn't exist. Since it is a Wikia wiki, shouldn't I be logged in or shouldn't I have an account there? Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  19:52, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Uncyclopedia is separate from other wikis--


 * Why? How? (Just curious) Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  19:55, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * It just is. Don't worry about it-- 19:57, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you got a message on another Wikia wiki and you were on Uncyclopedia, would you get a notification? Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  20:02, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Uncyclopedia runs on a different domain than Wikia (it isn't on wikia.com, it has it's own url). So, just like WoWWiki, your account here doesn't exist, because Uncyclopedia and WoWWiki have separate user lists.


 * Actually, Uncyclopedia's URL is uncyclopedia.wikia.com. Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  20:10, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's true, but Monch is right about the seperate databases. Wikis have been merged into the database before, but I don't know if Wikia wants to do it again, especially with such a large wiki like Uncyclopedia.  Random Time  20:12, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * WoWWiki is on a different domain and need to log in separately because of the way login cookies are handled - however your user account here is the same one as on WoWWiki. Uncyclopedia is different in that it is on the wikia.com domain but the user database is not shared, so you need to make a separate user account there. Both of those wikis started outside of Wikia which is one reason why they are exceptions. Angela 04:05, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
hello i and the founder of starhawk.wikia.com when i go to try and give my roomate who is helping me admin privilages it says i dont have those permisions but im listed as a b-crat. i got blocked on another wikia because of a dispute over what video should be in a thread and me and a user kept changing it back and forth and instead of locking it i got blocked and that person promoted and they just keep blocking me every day. could that be affecting me? and they should ahve just locked it not blocked me they are absuing new found power.. i have made over 90 edits on that wikia really sad. but that is the only reason i could think its not working can you help fix my bcrat stat. thanks for your help maybe its just a glitch.

Go to this and see what you did http://starhawk.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=Herotv Admin has rollback right default. ••• Xiao Qiao ♥  leave a message  ♥ 13:46, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Layout
I really don't like the new layout (not practical and does not suiting my topic) and as the others (Monaco and others) were deleted I would like to create new one. The layout editor was also disabled in my special pages/tools section. So how can I do that? Is there a program that allows me to change things? I sent an e-mail using your contact form, but nobody answered. Regards,Carlos71 08:31, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

For example I really like this.Carlos71 08:36, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Did you get the reply from uberfuzzy? It said
 * 'You can open the "Saját eszközök" menu, then use the "Tématervező" to customize your wiki.'.
 * Your other email should be replied to soon. Angela 11:09, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I do not know where he replied, but thanks for your help.Carlos71 17:27, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I don't have this option. It's either missing or I simply don't find it.Carlos71 17:40, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Question(s)
Hi Angela, I scavenged around every wiki project I could find, and according to this site, I need to contact you to make changes to Localsettings.php. I was hoping I could ask you three things.


 * First, to change the variable $wgDefaultSkin to Monobook.
 * Second, Is there some kind of way that I could access the other directories and files (i.e. files like localsettings.php, defaultsettings.php, $IP, etc.) of this wiki myself?
 * Third, I want to make this wiki look and feel identical to wikipedia, even possibly have a vector skin installed. How do I do that beyond Editing the Limited MediaWiki Directory.

Please reply as soon as possible. -B1K

I posted this question both here and here


 * 1. Not going to happen
 * 2. No
 * 3. Vector is not an option on wikia.--


 * Unfortunately, Oasis must be your default skin. Vector is installed on Wikia, although not supported. If you want your wiki to look and feel like Wikipedia, you'll have to do it with CSS and JS. Normal users are not allowed access to the PHP, although you can view the live source code on Wikia's Trac or SVN. You can have certain extensions enabled by asking via Special:Contact, although be aware that most of the extensions available are written by Wikia.


 * We don't use LocalSettings in this way. Instead, staff change wiki settings using an extension called WikiFactory. You can set your own skin to monobook in your preferences, but as Godisme said, it's not possible to set this as the default. You can find out more in the FAQ. We don't support Wikipedia's new skin, but you can make design changes using special:themedesigner or via the skin.css MediaWiki pages. Angela 22:06, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is it possible, then, to setup this and this? It says it's for bureaucrats, but it looks like the actual installing part is out of my ability. If you can't help me, could you please tell me who I should contact? -B1K 14:08, June 10, 2011 (PT)
 * That sort of extension is not available at Wikia, if you need an extension enabled, use Special:Contact from the wiki in question. -- 21:11, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

*0 Talk* and 0 Talk on wikianswers
Hi Angela,

hope things are travelling well for you with the baby!

I have noticed a few questions over on answers.wikia which begin with "0 Talk" as a Prefix

Are these from a new wikia or some sort of code among Filipino talking people or what?

There is about 6300+ of these questions.

kind regards

Whiteguru 04:52, June 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would be trolls, copying a question, including the talk count and pasting it to a new question. I see it all the time on Bleach answers.--


 * That's odd. I do suspect copy and paste but I don't know people would be doing that so often. Maybe wanting to search for similar questions but pasting it into the ask box instead of the search box? Who knows. I'm going to mass-delete these. There are less than 200 on that page. Where are the 6300? Were they already deleted, or are they on another wiki? Angela 07:03, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Angela; I did a search and came up with 6300; I'll resolve this more accurately as the arabic number 0 is likely confusing search results.Whiteguru 23:39, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's probably worth it to use a bot and make a list of all pages with the prefix "talk" in the mainspace, and mass delete the list. Nothing more than a few API queries. See this, for example; or this if you have API highlimits.

Wikia Spotlight
How do I qualify my wiki for wikia spotlight? Please answer ASAP! from Mothra12. Roar to me. 20:11, June 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * As I already said on Meighan's page, go to the Community Central:Spotlights page.--

New Bureaucrat Functions
Hey Angela, Please accept this request, can you let bureaucrats on just my wiki, just mine, Ben 10 wiki, remove bureaucrat rights? I'm only want it for my wiki, since I know there are trustworthy bureaucrats and they will not abuse this feature, whereas there might be people that might on other wikis, I'm currently a admin at that wiki and the current bureaucrat will not give bureaucrat rights to me since he has to make sure I'm fully trustworthy to the wiki, because I have only been a admin for about a month, but with the new feature on only my wiki, this will probably change his mind since if I'm not trustworthy he can take my rights away and if I am trustworthy then I can keep my bureaucrat rights, if he gives them to me. Please consider this and thanks! --TheBen10Mazter 01:41, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

PS: Can please respond to this on my Ben 10 talk page or this wiki's talk page, so it will give me a alert, because I might forget to check back here fro a answer. Thanks !

PS: Can you make me a bureaucrat then if you don't have the power to make my request? Please, consider it. Please don't make me go to the adoption page or Special:Contact, i really just want a straight forward answer. Sorry for the bolded and underlined words, just wanted you to know, and really im not really adopting the wiki, i just want bureacrat rights.

''' And could read all the bullets below so you can see all the great things i have done that gives me the right to be a bureaucrat. ''' Again, sorry for the bolded and underlined words, just really would like you to know.

And for proof that i am bureaucrat worthy:


 * Im already a admin at the Ben 10 wiki, ben10.wikia.com


 * I have 2880 edits there


 * There is only 1 current bureaucrat (another bureaucrat will return when new Ben 10 episodes come out but that is only 2 and alot of wikis i know have about 3-4)


 * Most wiki staff on the adoption pages make users admins and bureaucrats with only about 300-500 edits, (I have 2880 edits), and they only have to edit there for about a month, i have edited there for about 2 months already.


 * I am ranked there #5


 * And i request rollback rights for users to the current bureaucrat, it would be easier to do it myself


 * If i disobey my new rights, if im made a bureaucrat, then remove them at once, then ban me.
 * Plus some bureaucrats/admins at the wiki only have about 350 edits, remember i have 2880 edits, sorry to be so repeative (not sure if that is even a word) but i really want to have this right to improve the wiki.

So i hope you make me a bureaucrat, please consider it and thanks! TheBen10Mazter 02:51, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

PS:''' Please give me a respond to my talkpage on this wiki, not the Ben 10 one, because i want to keep less messages as possible on the Ben 10 on. Thanks! '''


 * Changes to the default user groups are not usually done and not without a real need. There's rarely a need for a bureaucrat to urgently remove that right from another bureaucrat, so there wouldn't be any advantage to adding this. If bureaucrat rights do need to be removed and the community agrees on this, then a request can be made to staff to do that. I can not make you a bureaucrat on ben10 because there are already at least 2 actively editing bureaucrats there, so it is up to them to do this if the community agrees. Angela 10:05, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for that reply, I really appreciate it that your explainig that to me! So bye and congrats on your baby! --TheBen10Mazter 12:57, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Namespace?
Hi Angela,

I'm working on a new wiki hosted by MediaWiki and I'm needing to add a namespace but I'm unable to find the LocalSettings.php to do so. I'm aware the Wikia requires staff to make these changes on wiki's, so I'm really at a lose myself on how to do this. Can you shed some light? Thanks,

Bonziiznob 14:24, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, I am a B'Crat on this new wiki but I am unable to edit in the MediaWiki: namespace. How do I get permissions to do so? Bonziiznob 18:24, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia doesn't use LocalSettings.php, but you can contact Wikia staff to ask for namespaces to be added. You should be able to edit MediaWiki namespace pages if you have admin rights. If you send a message via special:contact with a link to the wiki, someone will be able to help you with that. Angela 23:19, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
