User Abilities
Hi Catherine! Just wondering, how would I be able to promote a user? For instance, if I want to grant another user Administration abilities, how would I do that? Thanks! Aeods 08:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Staff Bot
Hi Catherine! This is a reminder note. We discussed the creation of a staff bot on the IRC channel. Please let me know when this is up and working, as I would probably find it very useful. Thanks, -- TaviRider 17:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Questions
hi, i have some questions Is it possible to make a 'timeline', like it's done here? And the Special:Activeusers, when will it be refreshed (at Wikistad?) because I have the impression that it isn't refreshed for a long time at Wikistad. Alexandru 17:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Templates

 * Two of our main templates need converted:


 * Biobox should have subject_name, faction, guild, race, and class appear at all times--the rest of the rows may be hidden if not filled out.


 * Guildbox should have website, contacts, and gsize rows disappear if not filled out. All others should show at all times.


 * If you have any questions, give me a yell. Thank you very much for doing this for us!

Quartz skin
Is there a log of what is happening with the quartz skin. I woke up today to find that my modifications I have been doing with the Wikihowto quartz skin, have somehow stopped working. thanks ZyMOS 02:50, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Need help with logo and favicon
If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate help making a wide logo, a regular logo, and a favicon. I have no idea how I can make the logos and the favicon so that it doesn't look terrible, you know? If you can do it, I would totally appreciate it! —Ellia • Talk to me • Please sign! 01:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Requests Wiki CheckUser
Catherine, could you do a CheckUser on Manson and Sauronas Churchill to compare. Sauronas Churchill is starting to do a lot of the things Manson did and I'm starting to think that he might be a sockpuppet. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 3, 2007 @ 02:43 (UTC)

Feature request
I was just told to ask you in regards to a feature request for Wookieepedia. Rather, a feature removal request.

[10:05]  Question for the group: Who do I ask to get a feature turned off? [10:11]  Short answer, staff. Longer answer requires which feature. [10:12]  Tagging. We decided months ago to have it turned off but nobody has ever asked Wikia to do so. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Mofferences/Log/2007_September_9 [10:12]  message Catherine on wikia central [10:13]  http://wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:CatherineMunro

Anyway, as indicated by the chat log, we decided to have image tagging turned off back at our last IRC conference (toward the bottom, around 3:34) but nobody ever made any move toward actually doing it. We decided to replace both tagging and galleries with categories like Memory Alpha. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

American Health Care
Catherine, thanks for the green light for American Health Care. I am working on the set up and design of the site and should have the beginning in place later this week. I am sure I will have questions.

Deletion Issue
I'm one of the Bureacrats from Halo Fanon. An issue has come up in which one of our three Bureacrats (H*bad), without contacting the other two, deleted forty-seven articles. While they were all marked as rule breakers, there is a method by which we delete articles that he most certainly did not follow. I was wondering if there would be a way for you to restore them all easily (I am not as savvy when it comes to administrative work). Basically, I am requesting that any pages deleted on November 12 at the Halo Fanon Wiki be restored. If there is no such way to easily restore them all, I will just restore them one at a time. Thank you for your time.
 * -- Master Gunnery Sergeant  Hank J Wimbleton IV COMHalo: Galaxy 03:53, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind... I just went through and restored them myself.

Help question on Assassins Creed Wiki
Hey- thanks for all your help so far on our tiny little wiki. Here's my question: I recently deleted an under-used page with little reference to the game. Naturally, I went around deleting all the links to it. Then I hit one I couldn't get...the one on the Navigation pane to the right. Could you kindly show me the page I need to edit to fix this little error? It's in the navigation box on the right, under "game" if that changes anything.

Active Users?
How many edits do you have to do to be an 'active' user?Ryoung122 07:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I meant just edits on the 'Gerontology Wiki'. I note other users (Ben Meyers, Statistician, and myself) but we see only 1 'active user' listed. Also, I corrected the spelling of 'gerontology' on the main page but it's not showing up?Ryoung122 07:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Syntax highlighting
Hello! Thanks for creating the Borland Pascal Wiki! But before it can start it needs syntax highlighting. An extension for this is avalabile at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. Could you implement this extension into my wiki? Thank you anticipated, PetruD mesaj  15:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Can't manage to open a Hebrew wiki in Wikia
I have had two very good ideas for potential Hebrew wikis which I am sure would be very sucessfull amongst the hebrew speaking users on the web. Unfortunatly, I havn't been able to figure out how to open a Hebrew Interface Wiki in which the text would show from right-to-left so far... at one point I even thought that it was impossible and that all the Hebrew wikis on Wikia didn't have a Hebrew right-to-left interface and in the best scenarios you could only add a div dir="RTL".. but just now I found out that one of the most popular Hebrew wikis on the web (eincyclopedia.wikia.com) is hosted in wikia so I know for sure that it got to be possible.. any ideas on how I could do this (please try to be as specific as you can)? --24.12.234.123 06:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Problem user
I literally haven't talked about him on the wiki in months. He's upset that I talked to the C&C wiki about him (he was a problem there too) but that's in October. I'm a bit mystified why this is brought up now. PsiSeveredHead 12:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Secondary Article Namespace
I was unaware that such a thing existed. It would be a much more time effective solution to the issue of canon-friendliness than creating a whole nother Wiki. I will open discussions with the other administrators at Halo Fanon, and will get back to you if we decide to do so. If we do (which is very likely), I'll need your help setting it up. I'm not exactly saavy with all of this sort of thing.
 * -- Master Gunnery Sergeant  Hank J Wimbleton IV COMHalo: Galaxy 22:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I've already begun discussions with the administrative team. Still waiting on their response. We're in the first step of policy-making (agenda building) right now, but I hope to move into policy formulation soon, and then policy adoption. I will get back to you as soon as we move into step two. Thank you for this brilliant solution.

I recently adopted w:c:DMV: (info • recent • new • all). I have no idea what I have to do, if I need to edit it's info page to say I adopted it a few days ago, and whatnot. Please reply!! Glacier Wolf 02:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

The Jag Base
I am wondering, is it possible to get a quick move of Wikipedia's templates, over to my new wikia, The Jag Base ( http://jag.wikia.com )

Otherwise this will require hours of work transferring over the required templates, that have other templates inbedded in them and so on and so forth.

Seussiki
Hello Catherine, I was wondering if I could adopt the Dr. Seuss wiki. It hasn't been edited in several months and needs lots of work which I'm happy to do. Phillip (talk) 17:23, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course!! I have adopted the F1 Wikia andI have now created 20 articles! Go ahead!LB22 19:16, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: decline of F1 Times Wikia
I understand why you have said this, but as Uncyclopaedia as UnNews, I wanted a seperate wiki for the news section. please consider LB22 19:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Sysop Rights
I know how to give sysop right but how do I take them back?-- Monnite wars  00:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I need the adminship of a user taken away cause he's left permanently and I don't want those rights abused. It's The Hybrid-- Monnite wars  00:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I would also like to be a sysop on the Pro Wrestling wiki, I ask you cause there is no active Bureaucrat there...the one we had retired from editing. Becoming the only bureaucrat wouldn't hurt either.-- Monnite wars  01:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Just so you know, Monnitewars is a banned user on Wikipedia, an abusive sockpuppeteer to be exact, which is where his grudge against me comes from. He sysopped me on his wiki without my consent, and then blocked me after someone, I assume him, compromised the account and abused the rights on that wikia. I have never edited there, except to delete my user pages after he blocked the account there. He should not be an admin on the pro wrestling wikia, as he is absolutely not trustworthy with the tools. As far as my sysop privileges go on that wiki, please remove them. --  The Hybrid  T /C   01:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Confirmed -- 01:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * addendum -- 01:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Why must my wikipedia history follow me as this is not Wikipedia.-- Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  01:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It establishes a pattern for your behavior; that's why. If you had changed how you acted, then it wouldn't have followed you. I've explained this to you before; it only follows you if you repeat the same bad behavior. If you'd changed, then it wouldn't have any effect on you. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * How is a person supposed to get a chance to change if the first thing he does get's him reported about and then no one looks the same at him again.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I gave you a chance, and you squandered it by editing while banned on Wikipedia again. You haven't changed, and this whole deal proves it. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine I admit I shouldn't have edited wikipedia again but that doesn't call for a block on an entirely different wiki.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It does when it proves you are a disruptive and detrimental editor that the wiki needs to be protected from. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you callling me a mental case? Oh and it only does if I disrupt that wikia.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm calling you an abusive sockpuppeteer. Anyway, you are completely wrong on the last point. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:18, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have created a sockpuppet since HDman.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Unblock
I have been unrighttfuly blocked on the Pro Wrestling Wiki, I request an unblock. You probably wondering why I don't ask the blocking user...here's your answer one. He hates me....Two. He's blocked my e-mails and protected my user talk page.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  01:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd call disrupting this and his own wiki justification for a block. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   01:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * One what i do on my wiki does not concern you or justify a block on a different wikia. Two I have done no such disruption on the pro wrestling wiki.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  01:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikia is Wikia. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't disturbed this wikia either! You just hate me, Hybrid, admit it.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't allow myself to get worked up over people on the computer. Anyway, you (I assume) compromise my account, block it, don't allow me to invoke my right to disappear, and come here to file a complaint against me. That is disruption. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You unblocked then reblocked the account and then I went in and just added then templates get it straight. I came here just to take back your admin privleges afterword so you couldn't unblock yourself again plus so no one could abuse them.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * All I did while the account was unblocked was delete my pages, ie invoke my right to disappear. You are just too hateful to allow me even that. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Your trying to make it sound like something it's not. You did delete your pages I just just added those templates cause you redirected to wikipedia and I didn't want that except for active users which you are not. And you reblocked yourself.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You don't want? You are a BCrat on there, not the owner. I can have my pages redirect to where ever I want them to. BTW, I do not have email from you blocked, which you claimed. I specifically told you it is not blocked, and have had email correspondence with you in the past. If you want to redirect your pages, then contact me and I'll do that for you because I'm a kind and trustworthy admin. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If your kind then do me a favor...GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE AND UNBLOCK ME!!!-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You've had your chance; I'm kind, not a pushover. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   02:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess we'll see what the staff says then..I have a pretty good feeling they'll side with me on this one.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  02:37, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Enough

 * I have removed The Hybrid's sysop rights at Localnews per his request.  I suggest you each focus on your local wiki and stay out of each other's paths.   Localnews is a decent idea, and Monnitewars hasn't done anything wrong there other than fighting with Hybrid -- although I think he needs to start creating content pages, not worrying so much about templates and policies.   If Hybrid wants his pages deleted, they should be deleted -- I don't think the templates are necessary in this case.


 * Hybrid's entitled to block users at Prowrestling if he feels they are a disruption to that community -- although I don't see anything in Mon's contributions there that's particularly evil, or that any attempt was made to discuss changing his behavior with him before blocking.


 * We are generally willing to give former WP users a second chance here, within reason. A second chance is not a license to continue bad behavior that led to a ban elsewhere, and such users must be aware that their accounts will be watched closely for potential problems.   Don't use sock puppets, don't get into revert wars, don't disrupt peaceful communities, work hard on content, and you can have fun and build up a good reputation here.  — Catherine (talk) 02:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Do you think that you could delete the pages over there for me? I hate to bother you again, but something tells me that he won't do it. I would really appreciate it if you did. Cheers, 70.58.246.199 03:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * A computer error logged me out, and won't let me log back in. Sorry, this is the Hybrid. If you need email confirmation feel free. 70.58.246.199 03:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Cool, I'm finally logged in again :) --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   03:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Catherine ;)  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   03:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Does this mean an unblock for me on the pro wrestling wiki?-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  00:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I leave that up to The Hybrid. I think your best chance to earn an unblock, if he chooses to give it, would be to do some good work on the Local News wiki and don't pester him.  Please behave.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 00:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * He won't he doesn't like me...He'll ignore everything.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  00:43, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Then you're going to have to live with that, as the consequence of your past actions. Make sure your future actions earn you good consequences.   — Catherine (talk) 00:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * This is what he said to my father.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  00:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * That was him pretending to be his father. Yes, that whole incident was wrong on my part, very wrong, but that's what happens when you go out of your way to make a lot of people very angry. However, I was doing it to entertain my friends, and not because of any grudge against him. The whole thing was sorted out by Deskana, anyways. I'm willing to consider unblocking him sometime after February 2008, but I want to make sure there's some stretch of cool down time between this heated incident right here, and the two of us having to be colleagues again. When I think things are right, I'll take a look at the state of !his Wikia, the state of his sockpuppetry on Wikipedia, and take this under the advisement of some close friends of mine who are completely uninvolved in order to reach a decision. --  <font color="Steel blue">The Hybrid  T /<font color="Green">C   05:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually the last few messages posted was my father, I'll admit it started as me but the person you were talking to, Hybrid, WAS my father.-- <font color="#000000">Monnite <font color="#000000">wars  15:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikia
Ok, I saw your comment on my request: "Eaglemediacenter" and thought it over... And I DO have some adoption needing Wikis which I am interested in, and I have checked and no one is on either of them.

I need help, an admin is abusing the tools
Hello, I am a member of the King of the Hill Wiki. I need some help. The admin Hardcore Hak is abusing his sysop tools. He has deleted a few legitimate articles I created without reason (and never gave me a week to protest, as the speedy deletion policy states), tagged another legit article for speedy deletion, and uses dreadful spelling and grammar. I have to clean this up, and after I requested he check his spelling on Mircosoft Word, he damns me on his userpage for it. I am sick of the way he treats me. Perhaps you could talk to him for me? Thanks. I'd appreciate if you could do something. Good day. And You Call This a Signature? 00:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
