Re-ment & minis review Wiki
Hello, I'd like help implementing an organization feature on my wiki (http://rementminisreview.wikia.com/). I had at one point attempted to add the hover box feature off this wiki: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Wiki_Home(it'sin the today's daily missions area), but after many failed attempts I've had to accept it's a bit above my skill level. I'd like to have a hover box that could either hover over a status link or an image of the set that reads out like: I'd love for it to be editable for each set that I do or at least each series. This is really preferable as I so far haven't liked any other method I've used of letting people know by glancing at the page what needs to be done. Any help you could give in helping me implement this would be greatly appreciated. FashionistaLina (talk) 11:41, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

Monster Maestro Wiki
Hi. Our wiki is Monster Maestro Wiki. The site is falling apart because the single admin that we have hasn't edited a single page in a month and a half now. That means we can't do any major site changes. Is there anyway of apointing another admin?

On another note, the site is in total disrepair! Many pages are missing much content. Pictures, screenshots and links need to be added. Many pages are stubs and need to be catagorized. Once a page is finally created, it takes a while before info is added.

Monster Maestro is a FREE social card game on the App Store. The wki has barely been getting any traffic because the 2 million+ people who play the game don't know about this helpful Wiki.

WWII Wiki
(Request first from Logo Creation Wiki)

Hello, I'm from the WWII Wiki and I would like to request a theme. In the theme I think it would be nice if there were illustrations all over the background, not just at the sides because the color scheme before the background theme is transparent. However, I do think it would also be nice if there were perhaps strips of different battles, like the bottom part of the background having the battle of Midway with planes and ships everywhere and the middle strip having the battle of Kursk with Soviet tanks breaking through the German lines and the top part with a V-2 Cruise missle taking off from a launch pad to represent our coverage from the Pacific to Europe and also representing our coverage of the more secret aspects of the war with the V-2. I hope this is descriptive enough but not too demanding. Thanks!

I seem to be the only editor to this wiki. I want to attract some editors to my wiki, by improving the Main Page. --Matthew Cenance (talk) 21:50, January 15, 2013 (UTC) =More than 150 pages are shorter than 200 bytes, which is more than 3/4 of the pages on the wiki. --Matthew Cenance (talk) 22:13, January 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * As you noted, about 75% of the pages on the wiki are "stubs" (less than 200 bytes), which means that the wiki does not meet the best practices criteria. I noticed that most of those short pages are for individual maps that simply have "___ is a map in GBWG" with a navigation template. One idea for solving the issue of having so many stubs is to delete those individual pages and have one maps page (for each game) that lists all the maps and a brief description for each, if there is a description. When you get the number of stubs to less than 20% of the total, come back and either reply here or make a new request.

There is another Rubicon wiki - perhaps if you ask for help there you may get some response. Jackiespeel (talk) 17:01, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Advertisements are invading the wikia!
How do I remove these stupid ads that keep popping up all over the Galaxy Wars Wikia. It's taking up all of the space on the pages.

 * You can't remove them, as they are a necessity and keep the hosting free. Try this page for help with making a main page with ads.-- Spartacus0898  ( Talk ) 22:10, January 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey there, I see you are having an issue with ads... If you'd like, I'd be happy to help set up your main page so that the ad won't push your content down and create a blank space at the top. :)

The Carrie Diaries wiki
Hi, I am an adim at The Carrie Diaries Wiki (http://the-carrie-diaries.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) I would like if it's possible to have a customized  background that relates to the CW show and also headers for the main page. I also added a wordmark but find it too small so would like you to make it bigger :) Thanks in advance

 * Hi Redroses. The wiki is in good shape, so I added The Carrie Diaries Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  21:04, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Semantic MediaWiki
Hi there,

I'm trying to make a table that collects information from other pages of my wiki and displays it in a typical excel format. I think I can do this with Semantic MediaWiki, but I'm not so sure how to use it.

I have installed MediaWiki on PC, but I don't know the next step. Can you help me us "smwtable"?

Thank you,

The Journeyman Project
I found and adopted the Journeyman Project wiki which was abandoned. It doesn't even have a main page. I'd like to populate it and find people who could create/fix infoboxes and the main page. MoffRebusMy Talk 17:05, January 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi MoffRebus. I think you're asking for design help, and the wiki meets the requirements, so I added The Journeyman Project Wiki to the list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  21:45, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
