EQ2 Request to Change User:Wikia to a Bot
Hi Danny. Could you please change User:Wikia on the EQ2 wiki to a bot so our users can filter it out on the recent changes list?--Kodia 14:03, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure! I just switched it. -- Danny (talk ) 16:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Polícia Civil
Dear user

I ask for to transfer to the article " Polícia Civil" for the Wikia in Portuguese. Thank you RickAlvin 05:01, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcoming spankin new peeps
Hey Danny!

I don't get skype at work anymore, so I had to ping you here. On Marvel, we have people who log in and upload or change their avatar without contributing. I didn't know if these were the type of people we'd like to welcome as well, but they're not being welcomed by the auto-bot. Just an FYI, didn't know if it was intentional.

&mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 23:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

PS. Using Post Script in digital media is ridiculous.

PPS. DC turned their Welcome bot back on! :)


 * Awww, I'm gonna miss you on Skype! I didn't realize that people who create avatars aren't getting welcomes -- we've only got a few wikis that use avatars right now, so it just didn't occur to me. When we roll blogs out sitewide, then there'll be a lot more... so that's a great thing to add to the next revision. Thanks for pointing that out!


 * And... Hooray for DC! You're awesome. -- Danny (talk ) 01:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Spotlight help
Oddworld will be featured in the spotlight soon. We were wondering, how do you make those images for all to see? Thanks!--I iz guy...so iz U 00:33, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi! We'll make the image for you, and put it up in the spotlight section. It looks like there are some other wikis on the list ahead of yours... we're working on getting through that list, and we'll get to your spotlight as son as we can! -- Danny (talk ) 00:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Danny, while on the subject, who makes the banners? Also, I noticed that time isn't really noted when doing the spotlights, How long does it take on average? I wish they'd address these questions on the Spotlight page. Anyways, Love the work on the spotlights (I am the mod for Ghostbusters Wiki)!


 * One more thing related to Ghostbusters Wiki, In June the Ghostbusters: The Video Game is coming out along with the Blue-Ray Version of Ghostbusters the first film. Is there anyway to have the spotlight up during the month of June? Devilmanozzy 00:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Great! I'm glad you like the Ghostbusters spotlight. Your wiki is awesome, and I'm happy that it's getting attention. Remind me in June to make sure that we put up the spotlight then...


 * There are a few different people who make the spotlight pictures, and they get made whenever those people have time to make a new batch, so unfortunately the timing can be kind of random. We've had a backlog lately, and we're working through 'em... -- Danny (talk ) 05:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Say I noticed the Shoot Em Up! Wiki once again missed the mark as far as getting a banner. I'm friends with the mod there was wondering if theres anything to help the wiki get the spotlight banner it needs to be spotlighted? Do they need more/different pictures at the wiki. I'm willing to help in the matter. Devilmanozzy 11:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Shoot Em Up! is coming very soon... We're going through the whole list this week and clearing out the backlog. Some spots went up today, and more will go up this weekend or Monday. Shoot Em Up and Oddworld will be in the next batch... -- Danny (talk ) 17:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

edit count
Thanks for your message. there is something you could help me with. I am looking for the userrights listings on asimov wiki to find who else has userrights even though no one is active at the moment? Agathoclea 23:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, sure! You can check out Special:Listadmins to see who the admins are, and Special:WikiaStats to see the edit counts. If nobody is active on the site, you can leave a request on the Adoption page and adopt the wiki yourself! -- Danny (talk ) 23:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Translating
Hey, I'd love to help you with translating, but I'm not familiar with the system here. If you helped me a bit, I'd make a good armenian translation of the engine. -- User:Songoffall 18 March 2009


 * Thank you for the offer! You should talk to Tim, who does a lot of work on our translations. I'll let him know about your offer! -- Danny (talk ) 22:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

RecentChangesCamp
Hi Danny, TedErnst here, one of the self-appointed organizers of RecentChangesCamp. Looking forward to seeing you there. Are you local to Portland or traveling from out of town. If local, I'm sure you're set. If out of town, we have an email we'd like to send you. Email or tweet me your address? TedErnst@AboutUs.org @TedErnst Thanks! --TedErnst

Asking about monaco-sidebar
Hey, I have a problem with my sidebar; it always comes up with the wikicentral default sidebar on my account on all wikis, even those which have their own custom sidebar. I've tried to match my own personal sidebar to that of the wikis', but it only sets things right temporarily. What should I do to fix this? Be glad for an answer.

Gott wisst  Gott Wisst's talkpage 04:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm, that's strange, but I'm sure we can figure it out. Which wikis are you on? How did you set your own sidebar up? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Does the language in your setting match the one of the wiki? If you have set your language as one thing but browse a wiki in another language, it will not view the custom mediawiki messages properly. -- 15:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think Ose might have answered my question; my choice language is Old English (ang)..... Thanks!!! <font color="Green">Gott wisst  <font color="Green" size="1">Gott Wisst's talkpage 03:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes Votes Query-- Artemis Fowl wiki
Hello there. I know you must be busy, but I have a question about requests for adminship. On the Artemis Fowl wiki, we have created a special Requests for Adminship page so that users can use that page to request adminship and then, if a user gets enough Support or yes votes, they can ask an admin on the Central Wiki to make them an admin. (Artemis Fowl wiki doesn't have a current admin with these capabilities, so we had to do it this way.) I have a request on that page and currently have 4 Support votes and 1 Strong Support vote (no Deny votes). I am the most active user on the Artemis Fowl wiki and I think that I could do a lot of good with admin powers. Can you make me an admin or do I need even more votes? (Note:We currently don't have many users on the wiki, maybe 4 at most) Howdychicken (Talk to me) 17:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi! It sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on the wiki, which is great. To get admin rights, you should post on the Adoption requests page. Keep up the good work on the wiki! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've posted there a while back. They say that the Artemis Fowl wiki isn't an inactive wiki and that there is one active admin, User:C Teng. This is all true. We have no less than five to ten edits every day (most by me, though :oD!). C Teng is pretty active (I say this giving him the benefit of the doubt). He tells me that he doesn't have the power to give out admin rights and that the only user who did was User:KFan II, now retired from editing. --Howdychicken (Talk to me) 00:35, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I just looked at the wiki -- C Teng is a bureaucrat, so he does have the power to give out admin rights. He can go to Special:Userrights and assign you adminship. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:01, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way, I see that you've also been posting on the wiki under several sockpuppet accounts -- Holly Short, Turtlenecks, C Teng. and Wise Guy. Many of the votes for both you and McLovinn are from your sockpuppet accounts. If you're trying to convince C Teng to give you adminship, using sockpuppet accounts to generate false "support" may not be a great strategy. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:11, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I will admit that was wrong. I created the accounts because I didn't want to be confined to a certain personality to throw other users off. Holly Short is kinda ditzy, Turtlenecks is your typical editor, etc. I'm sorry and I withdrew the supports or denies by those users. Again, I know it was wrong to weight down the votes like that. I don't truly expect you to believe that, and I know it isn't really your prob, but thank you :oD. TTFN and onward then. --Howdychicken  (Talk to me) 04:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * When people work together in a group, it's important to be able to trust the people that you're working with. Creating a cast of fake role-playing characters breaks down people's trust in you. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:37, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you. --Howdychicken (Talk to me) 12:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Uploading Images
Hi Danny, lately I have been very active, on Hot Wheels, and I emailed Kenny the group admin., by which not seen hardly anyone lately there. The reason I have emailed him, and I know your responses in the past about images. What I have notice that he feels is important, and told me to address the issue with someone higher than him, or Brad. When I upload images, for example, that are copyrighted by Mattel. everything that I type in the summary isn't showing up for them, or me under, Recent. Fantazim 09:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * (upade) I found out, that when I use the upload image on the left, it will leave comment, but if you upload on the page your working on, it won't. Fantazim 11:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

New edit thing
After I got your message, I posted another small comment on the forum page about the new edit windows. Like i said there, the only thing i would like is been able to turn off vertical sizing of the text area for me only and Wikia wide. Because, if it's a problem for me on a wiki, it will be on every one of them. — TulipVorlax 07:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The vertical sizing is an important part of the feature. That's the thing that makes the save bar appear above the edge of the screen. Unfortunately, the feature isn't really designed for someone who's using as large a screen as you are. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:29, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

switch my user rights
Hi, I was wondering if you could switch around my user rights on CSI and Terminator Wikis? Like remove my B'crat on CSI and put it on Terminator. I decided to focus my efforts on terminator, especially with our new homepage design rollout. (if you haven't seen it yet, what do you think?). I'd like to make the code more efficient and less clutter by moving all the inline styles to an external style sheet. Also tweak some stuff in MediaWiki later on. I'd ask Kaname to do it, but he's busy building up CSI right now. :) Hope I made sense. &mdash; JeiaraTalk 09:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Jeiara! I hadn't seen the new Terminator main page -- it looks great! I'll respond on the wiki... -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh speaking of designs, how come some wiki's have the banner ad + ad box and some only have the banner on their main page??


 * Banner Only: Hot Wheels, Lego, Pixar, WikiFur, Ice Hockey


 * Banner + Box: Twilight, Dragon Ball, Diablo, Stargate, Cyber Nations

WHY?
Why was I blocked? You haven't answered me??? Can you please answer this time? PLEASE? I have also created a Forum:Unfair block by Toughpigs. -- H a pp y f a c e 01:10, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Dcwiki Contest Spotlight
Danny. I am starting a contest for Disney Channel wiki. I was wondering if I could get a sperate wikia spotlight just for the contest. Please respond on my talkpage. Thanks!-- <font color="Green">Pirakafreak24 ( <font color="Yellow">Talk ) <font color="Red">Happy Holidays! 21:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi -- you'll have to request that on the Wikia Spotlights page. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Upcoming Spotlights waiting times
Hi. I'm not complaining, but I'd just like to know what Wikia's policy is on spotlights, and how long spotlights remain current before they are replaced. Thanks.--Pig house Talk 19:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi! There isn't a single rule about spotlights; they're handled on an individual basis. In general, a spotlight that gets a lot of clicks will stay up for longer, and a spotlight that doesn't get clicked on much will be taken off sooner. It also depends on whether there's something special coming up -- a new game release or a contest or something. Is there something in particular that you wanted to ask about? -- Danny (talk) 17:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I should have replied sooner, but I've been quite busy. Anyway, a month or two ago, a spotlight request for the UnRuneScape Wiki was approved. It's still on the waiting list now. A few days ago, I noticed that new Wikis had been given spotlights, though they weren't mentioned on the actual spotlight page. I was just a bit confused as to why they were given spotlights while other Wikis are still waiting. --Pig house Talk 19:54, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know if this is correct procedure, but I'd like a reply please.--Pig house Talk 19:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi! I'm really sorry that I didn't get back to you before. It looks like there's a backlog of spotlights on that waiting list. I'll check and make sure that the people who make the graphics will work through that list soon -- and you're next up on the list. I'm sorry we fell behind! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks.--Pig house Talk 11:31, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

how do you get unblocked
please? someone blocked me through insufficient evidence.

oh and this was on the Teletraan One Wiki.


 * Hi, sorry to hear you were blocked. You'll have to talk to the person who blocked you about why you were blocked. It will probably help if you log in first and create a user name, so that they know who they're talking to... -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

The issue is that I can't get a user name because the block won't let me.


 * I would suggest making an account here on Central, and then posting to the person who blocked you here. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
