Thank you
For granting me admin rights on the Fashion wiki. I'll do my best to bring the wiki up to standards. For now, I have a few questions.

1. Is it acceptable for me to import images from Wikipedia as well as text, and if so, how should I tag the images?

2. Could you or another user help me copy some template code (such as the infobox code) to the wiki? I tried doing this on my own and had trouble.

3. Is their any way we could get this wiki to rank higher on google search. Right now it doesn't even make the first page when I search "fashion wikia".

4. On some articles, when I add "Template:Wikipedia", the Wikipedia logo image shows up as a link to the image. Can you help me fix this.

5. Can you please help show me how to change the top content (e.g. the "editor's pick")?--SGK 17:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Making sources and references work?
I work with sources and references on wikipedia and in the wikia scratch area and I notice that Wookipedia uses then successfully, but the same syntax seems to fail for me. I have got coding in this article that used to work in the sandpit but doesn't now. Can you help?: PeterIto 09:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Automatic Change Script
Hi I'm from the Banjo-Kazooie Wiki and we have a quote of the month part on our main page. I was wondering if there are any scripts we could use that would automatically change this information weekly, daily, or even every time the main page was viewed. Thanks, Dekudan312 17:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Trouble Uploading Images
Catherine,

I am trying to upload a logo, and I keep getting this error: '''The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again.''' When it didn't work the first time, I opened it, resized it in Photoshop and saved it as a smaller file and it still won't upload. It is a .jpg, which is a "supported extension", so I'm confused as to what the problem is.

Thanks! SolaScriptura 21:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Site Skin - Won't go back to Monobook
Hey there, I noticed that for some reason the default skin on my wikia is set to Sapphire instead of Monobook, at least for all non-registered users. It used to be Monobook before, and I'd like to revert the default skin for both registered and non-registered users to Monobook. However, I've tried doing this under preferences, but Monobook is not listed on the default tab option. Please help me, is there any way I can make the default skin go back to Monobook, or is there any way yourself or another Wikia staff member can assist me? Thanks very much for your time. - Dimitri the Echidna 07:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Iron Man
Hi, this is the parkster. I have recently become part of the Iron Man wiki and the founder is completely inactive (even from the start). Another user and i have wondered, whether we could take over the wiki or atleast become admins on it. There are further details on the message at your talk page on the site. The reason why i'm telling you here is because you haven't replied back to me since the message was first posted, which was about three days ago. Coulld you please read the message and then inform me on your descission. That way i can get the wiki up and running to an excellent standard.

InfoBoxes are being a pain
Hi Catherine. Ya, I'm having some trouble with some info boxes and their giving me some trouble and are not wanting to do what they are supposed to do. For instance when I post the info box, nothing shows up except: Template:Infobox, or whatever type of info box I am using, so its starting to drive me crazy. If you could get back to me as soon as possible I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Quick Question
Hi Catherine. O just started a new wiki. After it got launched I thought of a question that I probably should have asked before starting it: Do I have to pay any king of fee or rent? I feel really dumb for not asking before. Let me know when you get a chance. Kingofdanerds 16:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello? Kingofdanerds 14:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for approving the request.
How to I go by editing the SiteName? At the moment it says Papercraft Wiki, but what I wanted it to say was PaperWiki.

Deleting
Can you delete my CivCity wiki, because I want to create a new wiki and to tell the truth, I don't really want it anymore

Changing username
Don't know if you know how to but, is there a way to change my username into something else?

Requesting a name change
Hi. I'm wondering if you chould change the name of the wiki from Beverly Hills 90210 wiki to 90210pedia please? Thanks! --TaylorKarras 21:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Writing
I'm not sure if my requested wiki was confirmed. It simply says, "The request was decided on the 23rd of May, 2008".

What does that mean? The wiki was for writing.wikia.org.

My Last Hope!
Hey Cathrine, sorry to bother you with something like this, but I need someone's IP adress. They've been spamming like crazy on my website, and the only way I can ban them is if I have their IP adress!!! It's a user on c:Warriors Wiki called "Gary Broslama". ***I AM GOING CRAZY!!!*** --ThunderClan14 19:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

CoH Faninfo Wiki/Paragonwiki Sibling Wiki
Hii! =^^= you left that last note on Sekoia's page, but the msg got pass along. Issue 12 went to live testing, then live game play so we where distracted for a little bit on the issue (we have 2/3rds of all new content mapped out now though, so..). Anyway, we've been discussing the issue here and NCsoft seems interested in the idea as well (Ex Libris is one of the NCsoft Community Reps). This page is the thread involving it on the Official CoH website, but mostly contains naming suggestions (I think we were leaning towards the City Library, but pls don't quote me). And of course, TonyV's talkpage was where the initial dialog was.

>.> Now that I marked those discussions for you.. Basically, we're willing to head up the project and all, but NCsoft and a number of users would like something a bit more versatile than a normal wiki since there will be a number of naming collisions due to the 15+ servers and no one really wants to be "Sleepy Kitty (Virtue Server)" and "Sleepy Kitty (Guardian Server)". Basically we're wondering if whats outlined on page 3 here is doable. I know it sounds a biiiit crazy, but if it is feasible, you may be looking at a nice new wiki format geared towards MMO communities (<.< of course, I don't want to imagine the amount of bugs, errors, or headaches implementing that suggestion might cause, I'll leave it up to the techs ^^ as its not the sort of programming I do usually).

Hope this msg finds you well, and if possible, pls leave the reply in the pw-forums thread or else on Tony's talk page I guess.. o,o a few of us pw-admin snoop around there and should see it fairly quickly. --Sleepy Kitty 03:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Catherine, thank you very much for the great amount of corrections at my misspelled thoughts. Cheers.

Dagoth Ur, Mad God
Why is he blocked? 124.176.251.78 07:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Dagoth Ur is blocked because he convinced the founder of a wiki to give him admin powers, then began making changes without discussing them. He was warned that if he continued to cause disruption he would be blocked.  He acknowledged the warning.  He then blocked the founder and began deleting, moving and changing pages.  This is not acceptable behavior at Wikia, and his block will not be lifted.   — Catherine (talk) 15:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Me and my fellow IP's will vandelise this wikia if you do not unblock him!! 124.176.251.78 00:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not a very good reason for me to be sympathetic, is it? :)  — Catherine (talk) 00:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Changing the Layout of Memory Gamma
I have just created a new wikia called Memory-Gamma and I am wanting to change the layout of the site. I've tried to make my wikia have a mono-book layout with a blackish background but I don't know how to do it. I have looked at the Wikia Help but I can't find the info I need to help me change the wiki. So I was wondering if you could give me some instructions on what I have to do to change the look of this wikia? User:Captain Redding 9:09, 01 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Catherine!

I was wondering if there was a way to make the skin for just one certain page in a wiki a different skin than the rest of the wiki. This would help very much for a project I am working on. Thanks!

With All Due Respect,

we need to create an admin or sysop, but we don't know who our founder is.
how would we go about making a user an admin/sysop, we have nearing 400+ articles and have no one who can block users or delete pages, is there anything we can do?

(p.s this on the http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page and if possible the user we would like to admin would be User:Otherarrow or me, but preferably the other guy as i have exams coming up soon and won't be on the wikia for a few weeks)--Semajdraehs 17:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Wiki ettiquette question
Insert non-formatted text here Catherine, I am new to wikis, and have found a wiki that I am interested in, OpenBSD, there is currently no content, and I am not an admin, if I am ok with someone overwriting my content, is it perfectly inoffensive to start creating content, without any direction or input from admins, or is establishing a dialogue an important first step? I am under the impression that its easier to ask forgiveness than permission is kind cornerstone to wiki interactions, please correct me if I am wrong.
