White Day Wiki
Hi, I'm the admin of White Day Wiki and I've spent a long time working on our mainpage, I'm still not happy and it could look better, I want it to look outstanding, something like Dead Space Wiki / Resident Evil Wiki. But currently I am facing the issue with the right column side of the page (community template is cut off) and I tried changing width and everything else but it always seems to be cut off, help / assitance will be appreciate. Thanks. Jacob Mrox (talk) 16:37, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Super Noobs Wiki
Hello JoePlay! I would like to request a new wiki-banner for the Super Noobs Wiki. The background will be similar like the one which is up currently but the characters will be near the logo instead of the wiki navigation bar. 

The next recommendation I want is the favicon. I want to use this. But transparently with only the "Battle balls" showing. Can u also make it .ico? Thanks.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Arwingpedia
Hello, I didn't know if could ask about this directly or not but decided to make a request here instead. I wanted to ask if we could have something added the the Star Fox Wikia's wordmark. Since 2016 is the wiki's 10th anniversary since I checked and it was created in 2006, thought maybe we could have something like "2006 - 2016" or that but with "10th Anniversary" added to the bottom of it too. Here is a link to the wiki just incase. Thanks! StarFox0 (Star Fox Wikia)( talk ) 04:15, January 7, 2016 (UTC)

Purpose of .i18ndoc, improve default Wikia.css
This is a request to improve the default content of Wikia.css. I have described the details on the Wikia.css talk page: What is the purpose of .i18ndoc ? I have also added a comment to an appropriate forum thread, but got no helpful reply, so I came here. --Lachnummer (talk) 10:30, January 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Lachnummer. That default CSS has been there for several years. It's not negatively affecting anything, but feel free to delete it if it bothers you. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  17:28, January 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * If it serves no purpose, "has been there for several years" is not a valid reason to keep it. It is negatively affecting the understanding of all new Wikia.css pages. And if you do not understand something, it is potentially dangerous. Trying your suggestion, a few weeks ago I have removed the section from Wikia.css, with no effects observed. I conclude that all new wikis do not need this and suggest to remove it from the default content that is automatically added when that page is created. --Lachnummer (talk) 08:55, January 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * The issue is resolved, Wikia has removed the .i18ndoc entry from the default Wikia.css content. --Lachnummer (talk) 13:45, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

Ansible Wiki
Hi there, I'm an admin on http://ansible.wikia.com. I recently redesigned the wiki along with pretty much everything else, and the old logos and main page headers completley contrast with the new theme. What I need is:
 * New main header logo (I made myself a new one, but it was just cropped from an image. Needs better.)
 * New book headers, like "Ender's Game" and "Speaker for the Dead". I dont need it for all books, just the main and popular ones.

Respawnables Wiki
I would like some help in adding forum tags that will appear on the right of the names of the burea, admins etc. on message walls, forums, and comments. I tried using the MediaWiki:Gadget, but it won't work, here. Is it because I haven't installed this feature yet, I don't know maybe? That's why I really need your help.

If this won't work, can I just use the wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js to insert the code? I'm not really good at Javascript.

I would like it to appear as shown below.Classified12 (talk) 12:44, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

Untitled - SeanMorgan5235's request
Hi, I'm Sean, I just started the Wikia, Sean Morgan - CreepyPasta for the Next Generation. Unfortunately I'm very new at this, and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm not exactly looking for anyone to just come in and take over or anything so insane, but it'd be nice to have some explainations for some stuff. For example, I'd like for people to be able to Submit their own Pasta's, and for each new submission to be linked to the new submissions page, and I'd like the Pasta Submisson link to open up an editor, rather than a new page all together. I'd love to figure this out, but at the moment I'm hard pressed for time, so... Could someone maybe Email me about possibly finding someone who would be willing to spare some time and help?

Pirate Power Wiki
Hello,

I need help with making a simple gradient background with a nice semi-transparent overlay pattern on top. I want the gradient to be blue(top) down to a darker blue(bottom). The overlay can be any nice pattern that doesn't distract readers. I also want the right side rail modules to be transparent. And the content area to be a semi-transparent/frosted white (so you can see the background) with a white glow around it. See http://geometry-dash.wikia.com to see exactly what I mean. As far as I know I have met all the criteria and I admin the wiki in question. Thanks.

 * Thanks for helping.
 * I can't get the background to work properly. I set the picture, ticked no-split, and put in the code for colour like you said. But it seems to only be showing the colour with no image. :( Edit: also I'd like help adjusting the gradient in the wikia rails code you gave me. I tried swapping the black colour out for something else but it stated black.

I'd like to help implement better Wikia Client designs, and holiday Wikia templates. So during certain holidays we will have that option to use the holiday template. Kind of like how google will change it's logo during holidays. I think this would be nice for all of Wikia as well.

Hi, JoePlay! I am the new head admin of the Selena Gomez Wiki! You've worked with us before, yes? I loved what you did with our Wiki background, however, it clashes with our current color scheme, and we'd really like a new one, we're trying to redesign the Wiki :) Thank you so much for your time!

Mario Kart Wii Wiki
Hey! I would like some help with the Mario Kart Wii Wiki, http://mariokartwii.wikia.com/wiki/Mario_Kart_Wii_Wiki. It is a very big wiki with over 1,500 pages, but it is not very popular. It only has nine admins, including me, and our WAM score is around 20.1%. If it could have 15-20 admins, that would be great. Also, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but please tell me before you make any major changes. Some of the Mario Kart Wii Wiki's desgin choises are weird, but I implemented them to make my wiki unique. My wiki is also having a contest right now, but it is a friendly contest, kind of like the Creepypasta Wiki's Creepy Story Contest. We don't need help with the front page, logo, content creation, or skin, because we have all of that, but if it was more popular, that would be a huge help. Thanks!
