I'm unable to contribute
Hi, I'm already registered with Wikia but I can't create a new article. I'll put everything in and then when I click Save, it just brings me to a blank "Special Page" called "Create Article". Is there a reason behind this?

Answer
 * If you are using the new wiki editor, you may not. It may be a glitch. Email wikia and they might be able to sort it out.

Follow up question:
 * I have been editing wikia since October and have over 4000 edits on several wikias. I am still unable to edit any of these help pages on this wiki, which is incredibly frustrating. Why, and how can I fix this? Anno1404 01:34, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * My user rights are: Autoconfirmed users, Users according to my preferences page, and I still cannot edit here.
 * Help:User_access_levels states:
 * "Anyone can read the wiki as well as create new pages and edit unprotected pages, including users without a user account."
 * Are all of the article pages on this wiki protected now?
 * When I attempt to edit these help pages, I get this message:
 * Please note: The Help namespace is semi-protected due to Shared Help.
 * You do not have permission to edit pages in the Help namespace.

Inter-subpage linking
I'm creating a template/set of templates - We have 3 similar but very separate pages associated with each article. They are:


 * Main
 * Main/Subpage1
 * Main/Subpage2

The template(s) sit at the top of each page and display links to the different pages on the same subject:


 * Main-to-subpage links are easy
 * Subpage-to-main links I can do (a link to "../")


 * Subpage-subpage links... I can't figure that one out. Can you suggest anything?

Thanks!

 * Whoops - wasn't as difficult as I thought - link to ../subpage1 will do it. Simples!

Search Works How?
Forgive me, I don't get the search function. I can make a search box, or use the default one, but it never seems to find anything, even text I know is present. Help.Alexander Baker 23:58, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

dropdown box
how do you make the "show" or "hide" for drop down box beside the word instead of below. I tried making the content box and the show/hide button is shown below instead of beside. Anyone can explain why ? Thanks in advance.--JackZ 08:53, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
