Masthead
HI there! :) I am a wiki member of alot of wikis, and since the summertime, Ive been having alot of trouble with one of the new features on the profile. The box at the top, where they have your name and information and everything, hasn't allowed me to edit it for 2 months now. I really want this fixed, but I had no idea who to talk to. No one so far has helped me very well. -_-' I was hoping that maybe someone from Wiki Comm. Central might! *Especially an admin! * Its been to the end of my nerves, this problem, and I really want to edit what my box/ avatar looks like, but it will never let me anymore! Could you help me with this? Leave me a message please whenever you read this! Thank you so much and have a nice Sunday!

From MsBulma :) 20:17, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * You cannot edit what the masthead looks like, only what it says. You can edit it by hovering over it and clicking the edit button.--
 * Can you send in a detailed description of what you can't seem to edit to Special:Contact? The design can not be modified, but you should be able to update all of the input areas. Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:07, October 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I dont really know where the masthead would fall as a list of concern. (Account appearance? Trouble getting in? Etc.) The main problem is, it wont let me re-edit any of the words that I have placed in i.e where I live, what I am, age, etc. Not only does it never let me edit anything, but it wont let me change my avatar picture anymore. Every single time I try this, it specifically tells me 'Your changes need to be in simple text.' Is there a way for it to be reset or something? Its not just my computer either. I tried editing the Masthead on at least 5 different computers, and it keeps on telling me the same exact thing! For the writing AND the avatar! I would greatly appreciate it if it could get fixed, its been bothering me for 2 and a half months now! T.T THANKS! 21:33, October 4, 2011 (UTC) (MsBulma)


 * Have you tried here on Community? Special:MyPage? It could be a problem with the wiki you are attempting the edit on. Rappy 21:40, October 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * It doesnt work at all with any wiki I have been on. My whole thing just wont edit. It repeats that the "Saving Data Failed: Your writing should be plain text." If this just keeps on happening, what do I do? (I even tried editing it here, but is all in vain.) 19:56, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just checked your user page and it does appear you were able to edit it. Happy to see that. My only recommendation would be to shorten your name - since all the stuff you added gets cut off on the second line. Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:35, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

MW:Wikia-navigation-global
I have several questions and a request. First, can you add Recent Changes to the Mediawiki:Wikia-navigation-global, because I'm sure that alot of people find it more useful than Wiki Activity, and there isn't an option for it in the "Contribute" tab. (Also mabye put it in there also?). I was wondering if this was edited, would it change the options for the wiki or still be global? Also, is there a local version of that? Thanks, 22:26, October 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I shared your feedback with adding recent changes with the product manager for this product. The page you linked is only currently editable by staff - and we are reviewing the idea of a local version. I will update my blog post if that is opened up for the community to edit. Thanks for the feedback. Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:11, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Today's Webinar
Sarah I sent to Wikia Staff an email that contained some personal info hoping it would get routed to you. Not something I readily wanted to post on a talk page. Hope you can make note to watch for it or ask about it if by chance it doesn't get routed to you. Thanks.


 * Got it. Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:36, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Please i want to be a wiki helper
Please i want to be a wiki helper beacase i want to block people who are spaming a wiki and delete pages.


 * Like staff, being a Wikia Helper is a job, and requires being hired. If you are over 18, you can volunteer for the Volunteer Spam Task Force, but they have strict rules, and it's only temporary. The best you can do yourself is ask for admin rights on any wiki if they have any open spots.


 * Roads (The Techical Update we've all been waiting for: category redlinks are back! *sigh*) 20:25, October 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * No Roads, you cannot volunteer for the VSTF, it is invite only. AwesomeSponge, if you would like to be a Helper, you need to apply.--


 * Really? I thought only Community Council did that. :/ I'm not saying I'm planning to volunteer, though.

Hello
Hello, Mrs. Manley! There seems to be a promblem on my userpage at http://potcoplayerswiki.wikia.com It says I am blocked, but I am not. I can still comment, and edit, and stuff anyone could do if they we're not blocked. I just can not edit my userpage! I think this is a Wiki glitch. Could you and the Staff try to fix it? Do I send this to Special:Contact or am I eligable to send this to you? Garlite.


 * Hi, It looks like Shade Link was able to help you there and you are able to edit now. In the future, sending an email to Special:Contact is the way to go. (The whole team works there so questions tend to get answered sooner than on my talk page). Happy editing, Sarah (help forum | blog) 15:58, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm? Oh, I was not blocked at all. He tried blocking and unblocking but it did not work... It still says I am banned..... Any way DaNASCAT can fix this in a technical update? Garlite.
 * The techs are working on it. Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:17, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Garlite.

Latest navigation bar
Hello, could you please activate this new navigation bar on Autopedia? thanks. -- Ray ous 12:31, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * You (or any admin in your wiki) can activate it by going to your Special:Wikifeatures and scrolling to bottom. (: –Tm_T (Talk) 12:35, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, its now in Wikia Labs! Sarah (help forum | blog) 15:59, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Chat module
Using this section because it's about the same subject, but different problem. You see, on our wiki, the new navigation bar has the strangest bug ever. It for some reason tries to load our Java IRC applet inside the navbar. This is quite annoying, since it loads on all pages, and blocks a big part of the screen. I'm sure people are also leaving because of it :(. Can you please have a look into it (or tell the devs). Here's a discussion on our wiki with screenshots: link. Thanks - Tjcool007 (Talk) 07:16, October 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems to have something to do with the auto-inclusion of Special:Chat in the "On the Wiki" tab. The code for the java applet is directly added to that section (it also causes it to not show up on the navigation like it should). However, I am seeing no evidence it is being added from on-site JavaScript. One interesting point: The applet code base refers to http://www.mariowiki.com/irc/ if that means anything to anyone. Rappy 11:19, October 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing it any more - so looks like it you got it worked out. (also cute addition of the wikia logo in there ) Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:19, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Editor stopped working on my wiki, help!
Hello Sarah.

Since yesterday night, with no apparent reason, the editor on my wiki (pt.runescape.wikia.com) stopped working. I'm guessing it stopped for everyone who edits on the wiki since no one edited till now. I don't really understand it because it randomly stopped working. The problem itself is when I click on the edit button, the editor doesn't load and nothing appears leaving the page blank (only with the save and subject options).

I've tried to edit it with other web browsers but they don't work either. And it's also strange that I can normally edit other wikis (like this one) so I'm guessing it's a problem with my wiki.

Could you please help me?

Thanks, 19:01, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Looks like we got it worked out :) Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:20, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sarah! One more question if you wouldn't mind... is there a way I can put that 'profile bar' on the user's page (like yours) where it shows our description? Because my wiki doesn't have that feature, it only shows my name, when I joined & how many edits I have done. I really liked that new profile bar! Thanks once again, -- 20:27, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not sure I understand what you mean. The user masthead? What wiki isn't it on? Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:41, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

New editor bugs
Hi Sarah, you locked commenting on the new editor feedback blog, asking for bugs to be reported to special:contact. Do we do this for bugs that have been reported and then not fixed? It's very easy to quietly ignore such reminders when they're sent privately in special:contact, whereas harder to ignore them when they're out in the open.

Let's take an example - preview still doesn't match publish on the new editor. We can't see what articles are going to look like with publishing them. Obviously, a pretty glaring error. This was first reported on June 22. Kirkburn assured us "it would be looked at". Come August 30, it was brought up again, and Kirkburn had clearly forgotten all about it (which doesn't fill me with confidence about our "feedback being heard"). I then wrote all this out on September 10, after the feature had been pushed live without a fix for this, and Kirkburn told me "there shouldn't be a long wait". It's now October 14, and you guessed it, preview is still not matching publish. Almost 4 months since we reported it first.

How does wikia define "a long wait"? There are many other such examples. I don't want to send them to special:contact, because they've been reported already. It would seem a more public approach is needed to motivate the development team into fixing things. Would you consider a new blog updating us on the new editor? It would remove the current impression Wikia is giving off, namely, that you've forgotten about it and moved on. We still have to use it, remember.-- Category:Acer4666 12:57, October 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Acer, Your request was not lost, ignored or forgotten - there just has been a long list and it hasn't made it to the top yet. We are continually working on fixing bugs - and they are prioritized by the gravity of the issue and the number of people it affects. We do hope to have this done soon - and I am sorry it has taken so long. Thank for your patience and persistence, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:07, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Help Please
Hello there. I have been going through alot lately. First off, I wanna say that I am a huge fan of Scream but there has been some problems lately. This user, SeleneGoddess89 has been giving me a hard time. this user had asked an Admin to become an Admin and was succesful. I had told the same user that so he can make me an Admin too but he hasn't responded. SeleneGoddess made his word by telling him that he would not abuse the Admin duties, but he did. It says that your not suppose to take advantage of becoming an Admin. We have had some disagreements with him and is blocking pages on his turm of agreements. I have been doing good editing and had been on that wiki for more then he has and people agree with me. The reason I'm asking you is because I heard recently that Staffs or different user can block the IP address and make people Admins even if they're not on that Wiki. Thanky You. if you can't help, then mabry you can help with this. SeleneGoddess hads blocked me for no reason and is doing what he's not suppose too. So I created a new Scream Wikia based on the Scream Wiki with SeleneGoddess. But the problem is that I don't know how to set things up like the Scream Wikia and I want my Wiki to be just like that but I created it. I hope you can help me. :)

Heres the link of the new Wikia I created. http://screaminfo.wikia.com/wiki/Scream_(Info)_Wiki# \

And heres the link with Wikia with Selene Goddess and the 1st Scream wiki that I want to copty from if I can't become an Admin. http://scream.wikia.com/wiki/Scream_Wiki

P:S There's only like 3 Admins on the Scream wiki. Ddill 20:22, October 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, It appears your account is no longer blocked. As for becoming an admin, its up to the community there. If folks feel they don't need another admin or the current admin has it under control - then you should just concentrate on adding good content - as it appears you have. Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, October 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but I have few comments, People are satrting not to like this Admin and i'm not the only one to disagree with him. So is there a Wiki, User or somebody that can hewlp me become an Admin but i've already tried asking the User who's been turning people into Admins to become a User, but he hasn't respinded, I hope you know someone who can help at least. P.S You said that my account on the Scream Wiki is unblocked, but he blocked it again. Ddill 23:35, October 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, The local admins are the best people to chat with - so just be patient while they get back to you. It also appears you are unblocked again. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:07, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Halloween
As I recall, about a year ago you wrote a blog post about Halloween wikis. If you are going to do the same thing again this year, could you please, please mention Halloween Wiki. My fellow admin CocoaZen and I have been working hard to build the wiki since September. The wiki is now in much better shape than it was a year ago but we could still use a few more helping hands. Simon Peter Hughes 13:56, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Subdomain Request
I am an admin at the Bone Wiki and a new book series about bone has been released titled Bone: Legacy. I'm just wondering can you make this subdomain, http://bonelegacy.wikia.com/ a redirect to the Bone Wiki. No wiki has been made by this name.

When New version Applied on the wikis?
Hi, Sarah!

To the point, I've heard about The new nav and message wall, but when it will applied on the wikis?

Because my wiki still in the old version, and I can't change it.

Lyon Gonevistha 13:56, November 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wiki nav you can now flip on in Wikia Labs on your wiki (you can access it through the admin dash, then wiki features) - it will be live sitewide in a few weeks. For Message Wall, it is coming to Wikia Labs hopefully by the end of the month. Keep an eye out there and on the staff blog for the announcement. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:52, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

Suggesting New Features
Hi Sarah, is there a place to suggest new features for Wikia? For example I was interested in having a "print page" feature added to our site "Retributions Blade". I saw this feature on another site that uses a wiki based platform and thought, "What a clever idea!" but 1st: I wasn't sure if it's a feature already available and one I just needed to activate, or 2nd: If it was something that should be submitted elsewhere as a suggested new feature. Thanks for your guidance and help as a volunteer to the Wikia community. I know you probably don't get many thanks and even if we don't specifically say it often, the appreciation is always there.


 * Hi Councellor, Thanks for the nice message :) . Print page is actually a base MediaWiki feature and you can use it by tweaking the url to have &printable=yes at the end. Currently it works best in monobook because of the way that CSS works in the standard wikia look. As for new products, you can send them in via Special:Contact or do as you did here. If its a request for a feature change to a product, if it's a new product it is best to submit that early on via wikia labs if its there, or on the staff blog post. If the product is completely sitewide or is a new idea completely - just let one of us know and we will share with our product team. Happy editing, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:59, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Edit Tracks
On Annoying Orange Wiki, we have an unwanted edit track which is disabled but we want it taken off so it can't be enabled if you know what I mean. It is Main Characters and it will be helpful if you took it off. Thanks. E=MC2 16:31, November 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * If it's a standard edit track it unfortunately you can not be removed - if it's a custom track you created you should be able to remove it. Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:49, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Insultment and Vandals
Hello, it's me Ddill. users's on this Wiki. (http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/Mortal_Kombat_Wiki) have been vandalising and blocking me. They were saying rude things like ***hole, ***ch and more words on chats and pages, I have thought of blocking these User's for along time but I need to become an adminor something to do it. You have told me that there might be too many Admins on that Wiki and your right, but I found out another option. A Wiki's helper. I found out about blocking Admins, Users, and Vandals if you become a Wikia helper. But I need to find out how. Please, the Wikia needs someone to block these users. P.S if you know someone to help, I will go there and he can help me with the Scream Wiki I talked about earlier too. Ddill 23:07, November 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * HI Ddill, Please send in details with links to where the issues are happening to Special:Contact. This will help us investigate the issue and assist you. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:51, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Where the edit?
This is a feature I would like to see. In the top the page is the area of what changed and has a line number. 90-95% of the edits are going to be at the end of the doc. But if the edit is in middle a doc a person need to guest where in the middle of a 1000 line talk page updated edit is. Right now I have to copy a unique word in the edit and use a find in the brower. I would be nice if the line number in the change bar area would have inpage link to the main page. Or each heading2 title have a automatic line number so a person can get in the area of the edit. In a regular wikia page the pages they are usual short compaired to some of the talk pages.

Thanks

Mediation Needed
Hi there. I'm a bureaucrat on the Dragon Ball Wikia, and I received the following message on my talk page:

"(Topic name: Ordeal)

''hello there, I'm having a bit of an issue here. A user by the name of Total Carnage is contemplating on suicide, of all things, telling many other users because he thinks they don't like him. My name is mentioned to many of these users saying it was because I, "gave him hell" on a [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:SpiritBomb/HEY_IM_BACK!!!!!!! blog]. I didn't give him heck, in fact i gave him advice, which he apparently took the wrong way. Could you please talk to him and straighten thigns out? because my words alone most definitely will not resolve the situation, and I don't want people to view me as someone who makes others look bad. Thanks~ ''"

I don't have any experience or training for this kind of thing, so I was hoping the Central Staff has some sort of protocol for this type of situation. It has been somewhat of an ongoing issue. Thanks in advance. -- 10X Kamehameha

HalliwellManorAkaDsc385's rights restore
Looks to me i think HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 probably wants his rights back because that one is the founder of the wiki and i saw a log of it on that wiki and he hasn't abused his rights or anything wrong. Could you do what HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 asked you to do please?


 * There needs to be a further community discussion there. Feel free to start on with the local community. Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:51, November 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well hes been asking for them because there were no abuse or smoke on that wiki. I have been checking wikis lately and i even found one admin on the crazymutt wiki which is causing fire on the wiki and smoke was coming from the wiki.

 * This is a local issue, talk to the local chat mods.--


 * Thats true but talking to the chat moderators for disscusing about the chat ban also applies to Wikia Staff for doing that too if they were banned from chat.

Hey Sarah! Can you please give me the links of all the wikis I've made? Thx -- I Pity The Fool. - Mr.T 18:46, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

Head.Boy.Hog's Authority Level
Dear Sarah,

I noticed that Head.Boy.Hog. is on the communtiy council, and to be frank don't believe he deserves the honor. It seems that you are missing some rather vital information about his actions on two wikis. I thought you should know about this, as I find it rather important. So, here goes:

When I joined wikia, June or so, I joined the Hogwarts Roleplay Wiki. I was a regular user under the rule of Head.Boy. who was honestly serving as a dictator of the wiki. He would make forums for the amdinistrators to vote on about his own personal issues with a user. Now by this time, I had earned my rights. He actually made a forum for the dropping of an affiliateship of a wiki, only because he didn't like the way they adressed him on chat about his actions on our wiki. They simply offered advice to him about running the wiki better, but he assumed they were criticising him and requested that we drop affiliateship. This single act caused what we call at HRPG wiki the First Wiki War, or WWI. This literally caused the two wikis administration to go back and forth about something as simple as advice. I personally had to agree with the other wiki as HBH had definitely been in the wrong for creating such a massive problem over such a litlle thing. Then, we had all settled our problems, HBH was losing his credibility as a bcrat, yet he wasnt officially demoted. About a month after the first wiki war, he creates another one. And this time it is three times as bad as the first. The wiki was losing users like mad and we all feared that the wiki would soon fail. This is when a few of the admins and some of the bcrats decided that we neeeded to do something about his dictatorship. We eventually demoted him and the wiki is currently undergoing reformation.

We have sorted out all the damage he has caused, but we wanted you to know what he had done.

 * Community council is a right of virtually no significance - all it means is he has access to a wiki where staff show off features that haven't been released yet. To my knowledge, only one or two have actually been put through the council, and nothing put through council won't eventually end up in full release anyway.
 * Thanks for your feedback Bryans. Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:37, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Maintenance help
Hi there. I am sugardapuppy, admin on some minor wikis. The chat for Party Celebrations for Creations wiki is not working for our founder, Prince12, (you might remember him) so I was wondering if there was anything you could do that could help with it. Thank you very much. Sugardapuppy 00:37, December 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the long delay in response Sugardapuppy - Are you still having issues? If so, let me know. In the future, for bug reports it's best to contact us via Special:Contact. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:05, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Account creation chaos
I recently had a minor issue on the StarCraft Wiki where a cross-wiki vandal created a user page there for a person they were squabbling with. This was at least a week ago and the issue was resolved. In that case, the vandal simply created a page (user:MrWeezee) and put some spam on it. They didn't even spam the talk page, suggesting the victim was completely unaware of this. (Having experience with facing another cross-wiki vandal, I know how irritating talk page spam can be.)

I took a look at the log of new users and noticed a similar issue, which you can see about three names down on the provided link: user: Hanan cadey "created" an account for user: Fatuma. While an account has been created -- I don't know if that's legal or not -- no page was created and no actual spamming or vandalism occurred.

In addition, most of the new users aren't getting welcome messages on their pages, since their user pages are not being created. Among other things, they aren't being given links to the rules pages. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 17:26, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Glitch Wiki Links
Sarah, you didn't include all the wikis. I also made this "glitch wiki", but I forgot it's name and address, so that's why I asked you from the links. Can you please give me the links for all the glitch wikis? Sorry if that is too much work for you. Thx -- I Pity The Fool. - Mr.T 00:31, December 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you please ping me on the wiki where I posted it for you - thanks! Sarah (help forum | blog) 20:17, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

My chat's not working right
Umm, hi. I'm Prince12, an Admin on the Party Celebrations for Creations Wiki, and I'm just wondering if you could help me out with something. You see, the chat on my computer is acting kinda weird.... It keeps refreshing the messages and it won't let me do private messages, do smilies, or even let me see the avatars of the other people in the chat with me on the right. So, I was just wondering, can you please fix it for me? Jeffrey 21:40, December 3, 2011 (UTC)Prince12


 * Thanks for the report! We're looking into it. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:18, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm BusyCityGuy and I reported the same thing to Meighan. It works on Google Chrome...but I don't have that. I am assuming people http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png updated chat or something, and suddenly IE doesn't support it... :( -BusyCityGuy

Wiki Webinar Series for Content Management Practices
This concept is for wiki founders and admin that use or seek external content for their wiki. It illustrates the best practices in content management such as; content selection, content targeted demographics, content acquisition, content placement, content licensing and other areas that generally effect good media management. It would provide listings of Wikia approved content providers for fansites, gaming sites and stock media wikis.

The webinars would also address legalities with Wikia in using copyrighted material, the risks and possible repercussions involved and especially existing governmental policies for possible copyright violations.

To expand even more on the topic of content management, additional reviews of the updated media-based features already installed on most Wikia wikis would be discussed, (such as galleries, slideshows, video, etc.) with screenshots and open discussions and testimonials.

These quick and simple areas may save wiki administrators time and resources if followed wisely.

Let us know what you think;
