Merger of PvX wiki with Guild Wiki
Several users, including myself have found that we cannot rate builds anymore due to the name change from (i use my name as example) Ikimono to PVX-Ikimono. This change has kept the profile in essence the same, but has causes some side effects. I would like to request that my profile name "PVX-Ikimono" be merged with my old profile name "Ikimono" in hopes that this will correct the merger issue. Thank you-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon 18:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous users posting illegal download links
An anonymous user has posted an illegal download link on the Windows 7 Wiki with this edit. Should I remove the link and should I warn the user? GT5162 18:11, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's up to you and any other editors on that wiki to remove any content that is not suitable - either things that you think are illegal, or anything that you would just rather not have there. Link spam from other sites is really something to watch out for - you need to think to think about whether the person is trying to improve your wiki, or whether they just want more links to their own website.

new namespace not working in zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com
Dear Angela, we discovered the talk page of "伪基音乐" is not working. For example, here is a test page 伪基音乐:首頁, and the corresponding talk page should be 伪基音乐 talk:首頁. However, the talk page seems to be handled as new article page, not a talk page. May you check the namespace settings? --Leeyc0 13:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fixed. There was a missing underscore in the namespace name in our settings. Angela (talk) 13:51, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. By the way, we need a new namespace called "协助" (meaning "Help"), the corresponding talk page shall be "协助 talk". --Leeyc0 16:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I need to check first whether that's going to cause any problems with the new help feature. Angela (talk) 21:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * We just discovered that there is already a namespace called "Help". Can you do it in this way:
 * The default name for the Help namespace shall be "协助:" (and the correponding talk page shall be "协助 talk:"
 * "Help:" and "Help talk:" being aliases, and "redirected" to "协助:" and "协助 talk:", much like the "Image:" and "File:" namespaces in Wikipedia.
 * --Leeyc0 13:46, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok. This will be done soon. Angela (talk) 22:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to change my Wiki's title and description, but I don't know how! Could you tell me that? Kubek15 Dyskusja 16:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

George Lopez Wiki
Hello, nice to meet you! I'm a relatively brand new user on George Lopez Wiki, and I've noticed the wiki is very small and in bad shape. There are no crats to grant sysop powers, so I was wondering how I could receive possible adminship, since I feel as though I have what it takes to work on the wiki and lead it. Thank you!

Users getting "offended"
Hi Angela,

I read over on a talk page, then later joined in a "discussion", that users are getting offended because another user had a blurb in their signature about their beliefs, and was getting threats to be banned from Wikia if he does not remove it. I say that "offended" is getting exagerrated, "spam" might cover it, but I just wanted to know if there was anything that you could do to help sort this out, and/or if there was a Wikia rule saying that expressing religions anywhere (for that matter) was considered as offensive content. I have a few other Christian wikian friends, and I just want to know so I can show them about this so they won't do it, either.

Thanks,

--JewntansOath My talk page / My contributions / Send me an email 02:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * There's no Wikia-wide rule for this, and what other users think is appropriate varies considerable depending on where it's done. Saying something in a signature is not the same as writing it on your userpage or in a userbox or writing an article about that on a relevant wiki. I suggest you talk to the people concerned if it is important to you. I hope you will be able to come to a consensus on what's good to have in a signature. Angela (talk) 06:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

thanks a lot!
wow that was fast thanks SO much!

Edit page script user for Valkyrie Movie Wikia
Hi about the script can you tell me what it does and make sure it makes minor edits and not major or huge edits. Thank you :) --Andrew Schlieffen 19:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It only makes edits that Wikia Staff have told it to make. Recently it has been adding a user page of another script so that people understand how to use it (see Forum:New features coming on Wednesday for details of that). Angela (talk) 05:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit count
Hey, I went to check my edit count on the Club Penguin Wiki a minute ago, and I had about 4,300 or something like that, and then I find out I only have 3,802! I've gone down about 600 edits! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? -Metalmanager


 * It could be caused by a couple of things. One is that a lot of deletions are happening. Another is that people are moving pages into the "Archive:" namespace. Anything in that namespace does not count towards your edit count -- that can be changed if that's what the community wants, and it means those pages will also show up in the default search as well.


 * Thanks! I've figured out that when I deleted my user page, it took away all the user page edits I did, but kept subpage edits in User category, and I had alot of user edits and trying to not have more than main, and they were over 1,000! So, I actually did myself quite a favour. Anyway, thanks for the help! -Metalmanager

Random Wiki's
Hi, I’ve been looking around random fairly inactive Wikis and finding nonsense vandal pages like this, what should to do to get rid of the ones I find? Show them to you? -- Climax  Void    ☭.
 * I've come across something similar, but different. This page was simply nonsense when I found it, and now it can't be deleted because there is no admin around to do the honors.  I was going to request adoption of the wiki, but founding another wiki is forcing me to wait on that. // masterConjurer  ( Talk ) _ 16:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * For now, only Wikia staff and Helpers can delete pages on all wikis. Most of the newer English-language wikis will have a delete template, so you can replace the page's content with  . This means other won't see the content and if the wiki later gets admins, they can easily find those pages that need deleting. If it's important to delete it quicker, then you can drop a note to staff using special:contact. You could also check the wiki's Special:ListUsers to see how long it is since the admins last logged in. If it's not too long, you could try emailing them using the special:emailuser link on their user page, and see if they'll come back and deal with it. Angela (talk) 16:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Duplicate wikis ?
Is it normal to have two wikis on the same subject in same language ? They dont even put licence information on the copyrighted images they use (with permission from Anet). — TulipVorlax 20:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * http://wikifrim.wikia.com/wiki/Lac%C3%A9ration
 * http://fr.guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lac%C3%A9ration


 * Plus, their wiki was intended for a very small number of users that are part of their in game alliance. — TulipVorlax 21:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It's becoming more common that multiple wikis on the same topic are started. Wikifrim was meant to be a wiki for just one guild within the game whereas fr.guildwars is about the whole game, so this is quite common. For example, we also have the main but also different wikis for different WoW servers such as EarthenringEU. Have you tried talking to the person uploading the images about the need to add license information? Angela (talk) 05:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Is EarthenringEU duplicating thousan of pages of ?
 * Do you know how many members a Guild Wars guild can contain ? Theres a limit of 100 players per guild and 10 guilds per alliance.
 * I dont disagree with them having their own space but why are they in need of duplicating all 1235 skills pages, all boss pages and many things like that ? Why arent they just use interwikis links like PvX is doing ? Yes, i know PvX did not started here. But what if one day someone would request an english wiki and start duplicating GuildWiki content (but under GFDL instead of CC) ? I dont think GuildWikian would see that with a smile.
 * Lastly, fr.guildwars already have space of all guilds in GuildWars to make a page and all.
 * That resquest should not have been accepted not only because of all this but also because fr.guildwars has only 3 regular users (me included) and some of what they have done on their wiki could have been welcomed on fr.guildwars.
 * But now, the only things that can happen is competition.
 * Yes, i contacted the bureacrate of Wikifrim saying their duplication of content was just plain silly. He replied that i'm fascist and that they can do whatever they please since their request was accepted.
 * But since when Wikia changed the rule that was saying « no private wikis ». Because, even though they dont keep anyone from contributing (yet - as far as i know), they are not encouraging outsiders to contribute to their « space ».
 * But, if Wikia say it ok to let them be, i'll have no choice than forget about them.
 * But still, knowing this would have happen, i would never had resquest fr.guildwars two years ago. — TulipVorlax 06:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I realise it can be annoying to have another wiki which seems to be competing, but there usually is room for other approaches and in many ways, it's better than people do that here instead of on another site. In the same way that there is more than one website on each topic, it's becoming more usual to also expect more than one wiki on a topic, so we are being more open to our approach of creating wikis. If the new one is successful then it benefits everyone as the content is available for everyone interested in that topic to read. If it's not, then it does no harm as long as the wikis are being kept clear of spam which they are. Angela (talk) 12:04, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, competition. That is the only thing that we got between us (or me and them) now.
 * On another discussion i've also used the word "war". But no, i wont do any sort of spam on their place.
 * It's a peacefull war. Lol. — TulipVorlax 23:10, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * And about "succes", fr.guildwars is already a successfull wiki and would have been even more if thoses people would have been directed to fr.guildwars. — TulipVorlax 23:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think i have a great new Angela.
 * A simple Google search has solve most of my problems toward them. And after this, i've read a reply of their founder that solve what was left of it. Now, the ball is on his side and i really hope the small proposal i made to him wont ruin the return of the peace.
 * I cross my fingers (virtually). — TulipVorlax 08:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Good luck - let me know if there's anything I can do. Angela (talk) 22:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * All seems good. Thanks for your patience. ;-) — TulipVorlax 22:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Moving a Wiki to Wikia
Hello! I'm one of the contributors at Polish Conlanger Wiki and Polish Conlanger Forum. The domain, on which our Wiki is hosted, is going to expire soon and thus all our contributions would be lost. I've asked for usurpation sysop status at pl.conlang Wikia, as there weren't any contributions, and at forum someone has directed me to you. How is it possible to transfer all the data into Wikia? We can also do it manually, we have quite a potential, but if it would be possible to do it automatically, we would really appreciate this. Re mi giu 16:38, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hah, we started the manual transfer. Thus, the only thing we need is a sysop right. Re mi giu 20:04, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll leave you a message on that wiki. Angela (talk) 22:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! Re mi giu 12:47, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

On Moving your wiki to Wikia, can you please also list more disclaimers, such as having Monaco as the default skin. As seen on Forum:Monobook as a default skin, there is some confusion about this. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I Need Help
I request assistance from a Wikia staff member.

You see, on the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki I have recently quit, and wanted to delete my articles. However, certain users there keep restoring them.

I'm aware that Wikia is under GFDL copyright, and I believe it is stated that if you are the owner of content that is being used on Wikia without your permission, then you may request the page be immediately removed from Wikia. Since users keep restoring my articles without my permission, I think it is fair that I, the owner of such articles, request for them to be permanently deleted.

You may look through the history logs of the articles if you need proof that I created them.

The articles I want to be deleted are;


 * Doom Weed
 * Painful Bear
 * ドレスを着て悪趣味とのペンギンは、本当に本当に本当に本当に本当に本当に本当にいたずらペンギン.
 * Link's Adventure
 * Sludge Flinger
 * Dark Archon
 * Icarus
 * Dark Templar
 * Abyss Knight
 * Lunar
 * Alpha Cerberus Alpha
 * The Beastector
 * Doom Knight
 * Annoying Old Party Penguin
 * Putrid Moldy Penguin
 * WitchyPenguin
 * Herbert Horror
 * Robo-Gary
 * Darktan

Please help me in this matter and I will be eternally grateful; POGOPUNK32 12:35, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * As a lot of other people have contributed content to those pages, it wouldn't be fair on them for the pages to be deleted. Have you seen the page at Ownership? It might help to explain how the whole community owns the content, not a single author. Angela (talk) 12:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Madness Combat wiki
Oh hay Angela. I'm TehBenshiGuy, a sysop from the Madness Combat wikia. It is coming along really well, and we're close to reaching 100 articles. The main problem we have is IPs, a lot of them make annoying edits, while some make fantastic. What we need to do is lock it so only registered users can edit, however I'm still new at this sysop thing and don't know how to. =( TehBenshiGuy~talk
 * Removing all anonymous contributors would be somewhat against part of the point of a wiki (the part about anybody being able to contribute). I know good Wikians that edit from IP addresses.  Have you tried banning the trouble IPs?  // masterConjurer  ( Talk ) _ 01:22, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
