Mistresses Wiki
Hi I am John an admin on Mistresses Wiki and I have noticed that we need an update. I was thinking of a new background that is suitable for the old days or is fancy. I was also thinking of a new character portal that is not a gallery type. Actually the character portal we would like it to be a circle shape instead of round corners. We also need a new our own show and hide nav bar. To go with the show and hide nav bar we would also like a spoiler warning type of nav bar. Thank You !

Falling Skies Wiki
Hey, this is Kovarro an admin from the Falling Skies wiki & I was requesting some help.

The wiki home page right now has not been updated since the series started (4 years) and right now looks very bland, I would like to request some help to change the homepage & background to bring in more users & to make it stand out.

Also was hoping to get some help with an issue my wiki is having, the info box and quote box merge when put together on a page and was wondering if we could get some help to make a info box/quote box that better suits the wiki and page, without the two templates colliding. The help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. --Kovarro (talk) 06:37, February 2, 2015 (UTC)

Hello, id like to request if someone could help me make a character and location template as i am inexperienced with those two things. Thank you :) The Walking North (talk) 15:57, February 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi The Walking North. To be approved for design help, Life is Strange Wiki needs to meet the best practices criteria linked at the top of the page. That said, I'm happy to point you to some things that may help you fulfill your request yourself. Every newly-created community contains pre-loaded templates, which you can see listed at Category:Templates. Two of those templates include Template:Infobox character and Template:Infobox location, which you might find useful in their current state. If you'd like to modify them to better suit your needs, check out Help:Templates to learn more about editing templates. You may also want to stop by Templates Wiki and search for "character" and "location" to see if there is an existing template that meets your needs. If you don't like any of those options, you could try asking the general community for help at Board:Support Requests - Getting Technical.

Hello there,

I come to you to see if you can do something for me. At the Steven Universe Wiki, in the background there is a big white gap in the middle of each page, due to how to theme is. I can see it because I have made the theme to be very slightly transparent.

I was curious if you can fix it please. Thanks!

Ninja Gaiden Wiki
Hello, I've (relatively) recently adopted the Ninja Gaiden Wiki, and I've reached a snag. I have no idea how "portals" work and there are some problems with the main page portals. Namely:
 * Slider Portal text overflows,
 * Twitter and Facebook don't work (and even if they did, those pages weren't kept up to date by the person who originally set them up [heck, this person was banned globally in Wikia and only recently had their account reinstated])

Additionally, the theme is slightly outdated since a new game has come out since then (however, it might be unnecessary to update this, since the new game was a spin-off).

But I digress. Anyway, I'd really appreciate the help. --Zero-ELEC (talk) 00:12, February 12, 2015 (UTC)

Fan Creations Wiki
Hi there,

The things I crave, as a founder, is to make it slightly easier to navigate, and receive help with articles. Unlike most wikis, my wiki isn't canon, so I was wondering if it would be possible for the content creation thing to be possible. I have almost no community as a whole, few articles; taken all of that into account, it's basically unknown to wikians. I think I've designed a skin that meets my approval, but, per my last statement, I have no community to give opinions and ideas, so I'll have to wait, and maybe even come back here in the future. I'd also like to customize the homepage, as I have no community, I'd like it to look nice and welcoming to those who may join someday. (:P) By 'customize', I mean more things following the same theme as it currently has, as it seems to be a little empty. Anyways, if my gobbling makes no sense to you, here's it in bullet points to clarify: :P


 * Make it easier to navigate
 * Receive help with content creation
 * Improve chances of catching Google Traffic
 * Add additional content to the homepage

If any of this is possible, I'd love it. Before I publish this, here's the interwiki URL: w:c:fancreations. -- I don't cry, I'm British!  TalkBlogContributionsEditcount 21:20, February 23, 2015 (UTC)

Issue with mobile and hidden text
Hi, I'm from the DC Comics Database. I have a rather technical problem to solve. I was just reading over this page when I noticed that it says that things hidden in "display:none" divs will show up on mobile. Because 100% of the content of our pages is entered into templates, we have been using a template/module on many of our pages which hides a snippet of the body-text of the article at the top of the page in "display:none" tags so that opengraph and google will use that text instead of junk text from the infobox. Obviously, it's a problem that this text shows up at the top of pages in mobile view.

I sought help for this issue when I first noticed it months ago, and was told it would be looked into, but obviously if we're touting the fact that it displays on one and not the other as a benefit, I need to look for a different solution than hoping for mobile view to hide display:none tags as well.

Is there a simple way to hide things on both mobile and desktop view? Or a best practice for our templates that will help force scrapers to pick out a particular section of the page as the og:description metatag? 'Cause bad SEO was a thorn in our side - and now we're concerned that having a bunch of confusing text reproduced at the top of pages in mobile view is going to be one too. - Hatebunny (talk) 03:12, February 24, 2015 (UTC)

Good day. I am - Darkchylde from the LOTR wiki, and I would like to request a change of background for our wiki.

TTG Wiki (Revisited)
Hey Joe, after some time of absorbing the current background, I don't think it's working out for me sadly. Wiki is here. I was browsing some other backgrounds and was looking how other places did them, and I do like the idea of the background here. It has a black middle, with the picture on the sides. I'm not sure if it would be possible to do this style with any pictures in the my series. But I'm okay with changing the transparency to none in Theme Designer if there was a way to get a background similar to the their background. I feel like it would be easier if the image was on the side. Ripto22475 (talk) 22:01, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

Candy Crush Saga Wiki
I am asking if it would be possible if we could have a bot come and change all instances of "considerably hard" and "considerably easy" to "somewhat hard" and "somewhat easy" on the Candy Crush Saga Wiki as per the discussion here. Many of these changes have already started to occur manually, but it would be good to make sure we have caught everything via a bot search-replace given the vast quantity of pages containing these phrases. Thank you, 12:37, March 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * While that discussion seemed to be moving towards a conclusion in February, March has brought with it an unresolved search for a word that works for non-native English speakers. We'd be reluctant to get involved until the discussion reaches more definitive resolution. Please resubmit once the community is in greater agreement. The actual bot change will take a matter of minutes, so you can easily afford the time to make sure you decision represents the community's will. 16:01: Mon 16 Mar 2015


 * The discussion has most certainly reached a conclusion at this point. There were at least 14 supports for the "somewhat" wording in that conversation, with several variations on wording discussed both there and previously which were decided against.  While there was one suggestion at the end that "somewhat" might not be the clearest to non-native English speakers, there was only one user with that point of view with no others stepping up to agree with them and a second international citizen who refuted the point to say that the word was understandable.  There were no other complaints against the word "somewhat" and nobody has raised further opposition to the idea, despite having plenty of time to do so, the changeover being announced here, and also on another announcement a couple of weeks ago which I can't seem to find again which put March 15th as the changeover date, with no opposes (the support/oppose voting system being one of the main forms of decision making on CCSW).  In fact, the change has already begun to be made manually with pages such as the difficulty level templates already using the new wording with no opposition.  I understand you want to make sure that the community is in agreement before helping us with this change, but the change has majority support and is already being enacted, and we would really appreciate the help of your bot to make sure we make the change everywhere and thereby eradicate the erronous use of the word "considerably".  Thank you!   12:08, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

Liv Dolls Wiki
Hi - My name is LivdollsinAfrica and I am the only admin of this site. I am in desperate need of having our community corner customised along with any other things such as skins as I have no idea how to do these things and the only software I have access to is Paint, Word, Excel and PowerPoint! I would like to have our site spotlighted and thought I met all the requirements - but had not heard of this site nor seen any reference to it on any of the spotlight requirements.

I do see I need to change "Liv Doll Wiki" to "Liv Dolls Wiki" - I use Word, screenshot into Paint and then saved as .png.

As there is a very small community, I am sure anything would be accepted - I shall be adding the motto page (Real Girls. Real Life) and would like to state that butterflies are used on the official web site of the retired doll line.

We also would like to be mobile friendly as we feel that more than 50% of people in Africa use mobiles to access the internet. I know I do!

We would like a favicon - but this is not a critical requested item! I have also started asking Affiliate sites to link to us - the list of my targeted Affiliates is under my Profile page and I have asked Bratz wikia so far (I see AMerican girl may not be too keen on Affiliates but will ask shortly).
