Hi, this wiki would love a new theme for the Cry Baby album! Thanks and could you help with the infoboxes?

 * Hi there! Unfortunately, we generally cannot accept requests from people who aren't admin on the target wiki. Please consider starting a forum discussion and inviting DanceGuy151 and LaurenLlama15 to join you there. Once you guys have agreed that a change needs to be made, and have some ideas about what kind of change you'd like to make, you can come back here and resubmit a request. Then we'd be only too happy to help! 18:58: Thu 04 Jun 2015

Hi! But we have already agreed on the wiki that it neds changing and they said I could go ask because they don't know much about this!

Fictional Fighters Wiki
Hi, I would like to know if you can help on the background design of the Fictional Fighters Wiki. In the theme designer mode, I uploaded an image to the background and I personally did not like it because I did not want to have the image tiled and fixed. So I have decided to create the background theme where the subjects would be presented around the content page. I even downloaded the background template and edited it to make it look like the design. However, whenever I upload the image to the background and see the preview the image is too small to display.

Here is a link to the wiki:

And here is a link to the background image that I mentioned; the latest image was the one I tried to upload:

Transparency.
I'm admin and bureaucrat of mgc.wikia.com.

I recently added a background picture, but I can't seem to find the option to make the pages transparent so the image will be seen through pages. I haven't decided that I will use it that way or not, I just want to see how it would look like before I decide.

On Theme Designer I see a "Transparency" bar, but it doesn't seem to work, and I can't seem to find any other transparency option.

Any help will be appreciated.

Star Fox Wiki
Hi, i'm the administrator of the Star Fox Wiki. I came here to ask you for help on the design of the wiki. Since the newest Star Fox game has been announced, there is bound for new interest for the series and people may come over to the wiki now after that announcement and I would want to help rebuild the community there. I sent a message to the other admin about contacting you guys and he said to do what is fit for the wiki as he will be absent for the next few weeks. I seen your work on other wikias and I am impressed and am also sorry if this will be a bit too much or so as I need help on this due to not being great at coding the main page and creating a new wordmark. I need help on fixing and redesigning the whole main page to be more organized. I would love to see if you guys can help design a better or so favicon to replace the current one for the wiki. A new wordmark such as the word logo of Star Fox Zero with the word wiki with it instead of Zero or whatever you guys see fit as long as it reads Star Fox Wiki. If you guys think the whole background and other design of wiki needs to change along with the changes of the wordmark and main page then please let me know about it. After the wiki changes with the new designs made by you guys, I will be able to make new templates and such that will organize the wiki more. I am sorry though if this seems a lot to ask and hope we can work something out to help the Star Fox Wiki and its community. Thanks. StarFox0 (Star Fox Wikia)( talk ) 21:16, June 28, 2015 (UTC)

Asphalt Wiki Help with WAM Display
Sorry for the disturbance, but I'm an admin of the Asphalt Wiki and I am unsure of how to proceed with this template. I really want to show the WAM Score of our Wiki on the front page, so I have recreated the table for the WAM Score as shown here. Unlike the one on Comics Hub, I would like to only display the Rank/Score of the Asphalt Wiki. Hence, I only put one line of space to be filled in the table.

I know I can just download the images and update the Template daily to match with the WAM Score display, but that would require lots of daily work. I have asked around and people told me that I should write a script to get the element from the WAM page so that it will update by itself. Unfortunately, I do not have the required skills to do that. I have searched online as well, and people have said that you cannot take elements from another page unless the host is the same due to the "same-origin policy". Since all the Wikis are hosted by Wikia, I believe it is possible to display a WAM Table that actually updates itself automatically along with the actual score?

I apologize for such a request, and this is all due to my lack of skills in computer programming.

Girl Meets World Wiki
Hello! We over at the Girl Meets World Wiki would very much like to update our current design. Right now, we have pictures from season 1 which we would like to update to pictures from season 2.

For the banner, I was thinking the Girl Meets World logo on the left side and this picture of the cast on the right side. I only want the upper body part of the cast, please. Is it possible for you to make two pictures where one of them has the same background as in the cast picture and one where it's just transparent? Thanks!

For the background, I was thinking the background could be the same background as in the cast photo above? Can you also update the paper planes with these pictures of the characters. However, don't use their whole body in the paper plane. It would be perfect if it all just stayed the same, just with updated season 2 photos. Also, where it says "Riley," "Maya," "Lucas" etc. could you change that color from blue to the same red as in the background? Thanks!

This is completely off topic from the other stuff, but can you make a show poster for me? The background would be this and it would be similar to this poster. The girl on the left, boy on the right, logo at the top, slogan in the middle. (I only want the bodies of the person, not the background and the other stuff, please) Here is the picture of the girl and here (the guy in the middle) is the picture of the boy. The logo may be viewed here. The slogan would be “If quick, I survive. If not quick, I am lost.” Thanks!

Last but not least, can you make an "ad" the same as this? Here is an example. On the left side, it can say NEW SEASON with the same font etc. Then, you can use the heads of this and this person. Then, the Ackerman Agent logo. Then, use the same font that you used for NEW SEASON and write COMING AUGUST 19 ON. Here it is supposed to say coming August 19 on Wiki Channel, but instead of writing Wiki Channel you can use the logo like in this picture. The background would be the same as the poster, this one. The border around would be the same color as the red in the Ackerman Agent logo.
