Semantic MediaWiki Extension on Global Geography
Hello, I am the founder of | Global Geography Wiki and I, and my fellow sysop, Herbisoar Empire, would like to request the Semantic MediaWiki extension for our wiki. The extension was brought up by Jesdisciple a while ago and we would like it to be added to our wiki.

Thank you.

Another Wikia
Mrs. Munro, I've been adding to several Wikia sites for sometime now and even created one to the "Unsolved Mysteries" TV series, but once I run through the known research I have for that series, I was interested in doing another Wikia to the Our Gang/Little Rascals series, creating bios on the child stars, their characters, series descriptions and anything else. My question is: am I allowed to create another wikia when I already have one or should I give my ideas to someone else to build it? Thor2000 15:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, you certainly may! We encourage admins to try to focus on one wiki at a time because it can be a lot of work building a wiki up to the point where it attracts visitors, but we don't prevent you from having multiple wikis if you want them.  — Catherine (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Image upload thing
Right, when I upload an image on RuneScape Wikia and choose a category for it.. then there's a heading added to the file page; ==Category==. But categories are added at the bottom of the file page. And neither me or the admin Dr5ag2on1 knows how, or where, to remove that unnecessary heading. Could you help us out? :) ElfAnurin 09:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Skins
Is there a way to have two custom skins for a wiki? --Snapatchu
 * No, I'm afraid not. You can learn more at Help:Customizing Monaco

Thanks for the email response
We will proceed with the import of german and spanish location and place names into Genealogy. In a few months we may be at least marginally a multilingual wikia. I did an earlier approach in 2007 that I was not at all happy with due to performance issues and complexity for contributors. The new scheme is a lot faster and easier using the semantic mediawiki and forms stuff. In case you are curious on further details, read the inset box. Thanks and warm regards. - ~  Ph l o x 

 The problem of variant proper names in Familypeida articles: Consider a contributor entering documents for one of their ancestors. "genealogy:Frederik Hendrik van Oranje (1584-1647)" could be recorded as Federico Enrico d'Orange for his Italian descendants, or fr:Frédéric-Henri d'Orange-Nassau in french documents, english:Frederick Henry, or pt:Frederico-Henrique, príncipe de Orange or es:Federico Enrique de Orange-Nassau. All the same chap. How do we know if they were born in the same place at a similar time? Well, Frederick Hendrick's life events happenned in The Hague, but records from spanish descendants would list this place as es:La Haya, the germans and dutch call it de/nl:Den Haga, but then there is also it:L'Aia, pt:Haia. Even if familypedia had contributors in a single language, we would still require normalization of these names into a single common namespace. This is goes beyond traditional text normalization that eliminates variations due to text encoding (non unicode) or morphological variations (stemming) in a given language. Familypedia requires normalization of these proper names into a common semantic space that transcends language boundaries. All attributes on a place or person will be held in a single common place (using semantic mediawiki properties), with all language variations stored in that same place.


 * That's great, Phlox! Thanks for letting us know, I look forward to seeing what SMW and Familypedia can do together.  — Catherine (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

it.deadoralive
Hello Catherine! I've been thinking about this for a while and I think it's time to ask your help. I founded it.deadoralive.wikia and everything is fine. DOA is a videogame series developed by Team Ninja. Team Ninja also developed the NEW Ninja Gaiden series and the DOA Xtreme series.

To give a better understanding to our users, in it.doa we also talk about Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive Xtreme, because, as a said, they share the same universe and provide us different information. Some characters also appear in both series (Ryu Hayabusa & Ayane).

The problem is: DOA series is getting stucked (4 videogames with many remakes), and NG series is counting 3 games with other 3 remakes and DOAX counts 2 titles. it.doa is becoming more and more oriented to NG and DOAX series. I'm currently the only member on the wiki (sadly) so I guess you don't need a community approval. This is my question: can you change the name of the wikia from it.deadoralive.wikia.com to it.teamninja.wikia.com (Team NINJA or Team Ninja)?

Thank you for your help! Sorry if I gave you too many information. I guess you don't really know about DOA & NG series! I tried to give you a full view.

Thanks again, -- EXE.  eseguibile 14:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Hitman Wiki administrators
Hi, my adoption request was declined about a week ago, so I created a nomination discussion on the Hitman Wiki. We really don't get much traffic (at least edit-wise), so the nominations are pretty much just sitting there. However, I was hoping you could take a look and see if might be time to promote our nominees. Thanks, - Derple (talk) 18:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Desperate Noobie Help
Hi I'm new to wikia and I have no idea how I'm supposed to go around editing everything. Apparently you're the admin of Nikki Wiki, but I don't understand how it works if I want it for my own purposes and to be the only one editing the pages.

HELP!

 * Wikis are for working together -- we don't host private wikis where only one person can edit.

Nolanverse Wiki
Hi. I need advice. I have a wiki named Nolanverse Wiki at nolanverse.wikia.com. It's about the new Batman movies (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and beyond). Do you think I should change the site and/or the URL to New Batman Movies? I just want people to be able to recognise quickly what it's about. Thanks. Metapen 05:41, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You might want to check out our existing Batman wiki -- I'm sure they would welcome your help there in covering the new movies. If not, yes, I would suggest including the name "Batman" in your site name and url -- "nolanverse" is not likely to come up in search engines when people want to learn about the Batman movies.  — Catherine (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Amy Cotton and here wikias
Hello Catherine, I am Andrewrox. I am here to report many incidents about a user named Amy Cotton. You may know here for vandalizing, making sockpuppets and swearing at users. Oh and don't forget getting blocked from 3 wikis. (Pokemon, Animal Crossing and a couple of days ago: Kingdom Hearts Wiki). She has cussed out many innocent users and she is an extremely good liar. Also, she has been making other wikis based off the wikis she got blocked from: - She only made like 4 edits, http://pokemalia.wikia.com/wiki/, and now the [http://lightvdarkness.wikia.com/wiki/. On these wikis (ESPECIALLY THE LIGHT V DARKNESS WIKI) she has been blocking users who know she is lying about things. Immediately after the Animal Crossing and Pokemon blocks, she posts on KHwiki false stuff about what happened on other wikis. People were really sympathetic and believed here. Then when me and "Guardian Soul" found some info and I gave her a message, she swore (and not explaining herself) and left. Some users started a petition but the smart users just laughed and showed users the evidence. Days later she came back with malicious news: Pregnant. Me and Azul (KHwiki ADMIN) found out evidence and it did not match up. Very funny. First she said it was a boyfriend, then she said it was some guy that spiked her drink and the latest one was that it was a friendly schoolmate. She knows how to lie. When we questioned her she left again. She got blocked for rudeness, lying, rumour making and Sockpuppeting. . i want you to read all of it becuase I have the evidence. The next day she came back as another IP and vandalized pages. We blocked that IP, but she came back and vandalized again. Azul went to the Sims wiki to ask her questions, but she ignored him. Amy Cotton is known for calling people "trolls" and "vandals" when they actually do nothing wrong. Here are the transcripts of it all: Catherine, YOU NEED TO READ THIS. Also, she has been swearing at people and deleting their posts.

THIS IS IMPORTANT- On the Animalia wiki Amy only made a few edits and blocked people that she cursed. At the Pokemalia wiki she made a crappy logo and blocked people she called "Heartless". here is the list of people that were blocked at the new KHwiki:

blocked Jwest72 (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Abusing multiple accounts: Intimidating behaviour/harassment: bulling others: well, lots more to ya) blocked Andrewrox (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 1 year (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Intimidating behaviour/harassment: Untrusted, selfish wikian.) blocked JAL (Talk) with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Untrusted.) blocked Azul81677 (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Too grouchy for this wiki.) blocked Firaga44 (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Untrusted.) changed block settings for Andrewrox (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Untrusted, selfish wikian. Also too grouchy for this wiki.)

Funnily enough, none of those users (including me) did not make an edit. The only reason why the were blocked is becuase she knows that we know about her lies. Here is the stuff that she did at the Pokemon and Animal Crossing wikis. Once again, you need to read all of it and click on ALL the links. That is all very interesting. the user Larxene is amy's sister, Kaylee. But... Kaylee Anne and Emilyc are sockpuppets of Miss Cotton. It is annoying the hell out of the wikis. If you want more info, I can send you an email with information that was not said here. I sent the email to a sims wiki admin: Matta Jr.

So what I am asking is: Can you reconsider keeping the Lightvdarkness wiki? This wiki's boss (Cotton) has been blocking people for no reason and stealing our images. It doesnt even have 20 articles and it wont get to 100. This wiki has angered the Kingdom Hearts Wiki in general. Please do something, there shouldn't be 2 wikis for the same thing, especially becuase the only reason it was made was to bully users and also becuase she got blocked from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. You need to delete it, it has caused nothing but trouble. You should talk to her. Another funny thing is that hilarious is that when she gets mad she tells the Sims Wiki that it is becuase of her "Autism", which I doubt she even has. I took the time to write this, so I want you to give me a reply that I will be pleased about. --Andrewrox 11:14, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Publicity
Catherine, hello again! Please, what might be the best method for publicizing your wiki, if it is very new, other than inviting? Is it permitted to message Wikipedian users who seem to have some knowledge about the subject of the wiki and invite them? Thanks! Ralnon 20:15, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The best way to attract new users is to keep writing useful content -- the more pages you have, and the better they are linked to each other, the higher your pages will appear in search results for people interested in your topic. More readers means more editors!  See also  w:c:help:Category:Advice for more ideas on building your community.


 * It might be okay to contact one or two Wikipedians who you think would be especially interested in your subject, but any more than that and you risk being banned as a spammer or single-purpose account. In many cases it's best to work on building your wiki and wait for Wikipedians to notice you.  :)  — Catherine (talk) 14:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

You'll learn by doing, and others can help you to format and organize, but unless they see articles they are interested in reading they are less likely to stick around to help.  — Catherine (talk) 14:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Pfhorpedia
Guesty-Persony-Thingy, the founder and sole admin at the aforementioned wiki has not been active for some time. User activity since has dropped to zero (except me, though I found it quite recently). I ,therefore, humbly ask for adminship over that wiki to fill the power vacuum and try to get more users to visit. I submit to your approval.--Vanguard7 02:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Vanguard, please keep editing the wiki and leave a request at Adoption requests. Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 14:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I'd just like to clear something up
see history for arguments


 * I'll repeat what I said in my email -- both sides are seriously at fault. TehKrush has been disruptive, deceptive and insulting at various times, and from what I understand has earned his bans.  Composite 4's attitude and language are far beyond what is considered acceptable in Wikia users, much less admins, and if he doesn't keep hate speech and personal attacks out of his wiki editing, he may lose his editing privileges as well as his adminship.  What happens on IRC channels is for the channel mods to handle, though of course we despise this kind of talk there as well.


 * But Fallout Fanon is an active community -- so it is best for the community to be the ones to do something about it. There is demotion discussion about C4 ongoing at http://falloutfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Adminship_-_Composite_4#Demotion_proposal and a promotion discussion for Run4 at http://falloutfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Bureaucrat -- both seem to me to be the right way to find out what the community wants, and Ausir (while he may be more active on other wikis) is the one to carry out the community's wishes, whether that involves promotion, demotion, banning, or other tasks.


 * Please take your complaints to the appropriate forum on the wiki, and make your wishes clear there. Thank you. — Catherine (talk) 22:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Zombiepedia
There has not been an active admin for the Zombiepedia for some time. I was wondering if I could be granted admin rights so I could clean up the wiki. Thank you. Mitro 13:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

American Idol Wiki
Hi again, I would like to take American Idol Wiki, because I have a wiki of the same topic and there is no articles in the other wiki. I want to do this because my wiki is american-idol.wikia.com and americanidol.wikia.com is shorter, so I want to pass all the info of my wiki to the new one, if it is possible, and leave a redirect. Thanks a lot!!!--Matias arana 10 19:50, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I've closed and redirected the empty wiki, and given the shorter url to the active community. Please keep up the good work!  — Catherine (talk) 18:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Ghost Whisperer Wikia Skin Problem
Hi, I'm Gavin and I recently made a Ghost Whisperer Wikia last month, and I've been working nearly non-stop on it, and its a working progress. But somehow today the skin changed on it, it was Monaco Smoke, and then it just suddenly changed into the default. I've been trying to change it back but it won't work, I go into my Preferences and on 'Skin' and I change it back and click Save, but it still doesn't work. I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I looked in Recent Changes and no one changed it, so I'm a little unsure about that. Here's the link: http://ultimateghostwhisperer.wikia.com/ Thanks, --Gavin Hetherington 16:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The wiki is displaying as Smoke for me, and Smoke is what's selected in the "Admin options" at the bottom of the Skin tab in Preferences -- are you still seeing something different? This may have been a cache issue, where a certain view of the page got "stuck" in either your local browser cache, or in our server cache.  See Help:Bypass your cache for some hints on how to fix this.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:41, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. I tried the things on that page for Mozilla Firefox as that is what browser I am using, but it still won't change the skin, not to any skin, like no skins work, all it shows me is the Sapphire skin, and my friend looked at it and showed me a print screen and on his it has it as the Monaco Brick layout (it was the Brick one I needed to be on, not the Smoke, I got them confused). I don't know why it's only doing it for me. Thank you anyways, --Gavin Hetherington 19:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Never mind, everything is sorted now, thanks for the help anyways --Gavin Hetherington 01:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!
Again, Catherine, I am in your debt for aiding and advising me so on Wikia; remember, ask if you need anything, and it shall be done. The Droon Wikia's issues have been generally resolved well, thanks to a kind user by the name of Danny (Toughpigs), whom I too have grateful for. I am editing as much as possible daily on the Teen Titans Wikia, and of course I shall take every bit of your advice to heart. Thank you, once more, so much!

 * Glad to be of help! — Catherine (talk) 18:41, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Some of my wikis
Just to let you know, the Box wiki, the ChatterBox (User Chat) wiki and the upcoming CreativeBox wiki are not the same type of wiki. They are like a chat-like thing. --TDM : Always here to help but only one thing : Call me Data 06:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Could you please take a look at this? -- Mattkenn3 Talk 21:47, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering
Can you please make me an admin on acewiki.com?I have been looking for someone that could make me a admin.

Any good tips on getting people to contribute?
My Wiki has gotten around 500-600 individual hits but few edits bar mine. Any tips to motivating visitors into contributing?--Occono 18:44, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Name change
How can you change the name of my wiki and the URl (http://). Also I have a extra wiki but noone tends to help me there so how can you delete it.

Artigpedia
Dear Ms. Munro, I am the founder of Artigpedia under the URL no.illogicopedia.org or .com wich is part of CarlB's servers. Now, I googled my wiki and I saw suddenly the name "Artigpedia" with a wikia-URL. I thought on that moment: "This can't be!" Then I went to no.illogicopedia.wikia.com and I saw that the main page was copied from the original one! That isn't fair: I have put all my work from December last year up till now in my wiki and a strange "User:Mr. Floyd" just copy it without a message to me. I ask you to do something, or maybe the other staff members. Please delete http://no.illogicopedia.wikia.com, I don't want that other people will find the wikia-Artigpedia and will contribute on it wich is a bad copy of a original, beautiful (in wich I have put much time) wiki. If you can delete it, then I don't know how much I can thank you. I hope you understand me. Faithfully, CartoonistHenning 02:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

How to become an Admin
Hi, I'm the creator of Nature's Wiki (animalstuff.wikia.org) and I was just wondering: I saw some stuff about being an admin on wikia. What exactly does that mean? And how do I become one? --MastrCheefSkully 18:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey Cat! Can I call u Cat? I don't want to keep saying "Catherine" all the time! THNX for my message and I hopw u like this one! Please go to my wiki: mergirls.wikia.com

Redirect Wikis
Could I have: kyonogononi, kyounogononi, todayinclass5-2 and minamike .wikia.com redirect to minami-ke.wikia.com? These alternate address haven't been created yet but I would like to point anyone creating a new wiki about the topic to a wiki that already covers it (these are titles by the same author).

Also the predictive part in the web address section of Special:CreateWiki isn't that great I was able to type in minami & minamike and minami-ke.wikia.com didn't pop up on the list. Thanks for your time.--Sxerks 20:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Retractable templates
I have seen that Wikipedia and some wikis make use of retractable boxes with a show/hide button. I thought it would be useful to adopt to include non-canon information in the wikis. However the source of those templates is too complex and I still haven't figured out the commands and syntax that can make a simple retractable "box" or "frame" with text in it, viewable at will. Can you redirect me to some relevant resource? MoffRebusMy Talk 10:26, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

How do I make my wikia show up in google?
??


 * Hi, I'd suggest you'd take a look at w:c:help:Advice:Raising your wiki's Google ranking. Every Wiki appears on google, but this might be on a later page. But if you follow these tips, you might even show up on top! Good luck! Mark (Tedjuh10) - Talk 17:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Adminship on the Charmed Wiki
Hello, I am a b'crat on the charmed wiki but have been fairly inactive lately and its quite unlikely that I'll be returning as I'm quite busy with another wiki. I was wondering if you could remove my adminship, I know its not necessary but I think its unfair to other users and there is at least one active admin there to help anyway! Thank you.-2Anthony418:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
