Navbox like Wikipedia
I'd like a neat navbox (like Wikipedia's) instead of an ugly table. Any idea how I can create that template or whatever to get one that looks similar to WP's, for these 2 weapon navboxes?

Breadcrumb navigation bar
I found something that could do what I want. Its more like a template. Wiki: Home >

But I'm having some trouble with it on my Wiki, the box appears white instead of grey. See this page. How can I make it grey? Change some template/CSS?

Google Indexing?
Hi Richard! Its been more than a week since I started the IGI Wiki and as you can see here, I've listed it on many different websites (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and added my site manually (twice!) using the "Add URL to Google" page, as recommended by the Wikia SEO help.

But yet, its not indexed by Google. What gives? Whats wrong? Should I wait some more time?

Editing Templates
Hi Richard, I want to edit a custom template that I made for my wiki, but it's been so long since I last worked with templates that I forgot how to get in there. The Wiki:Help section seems to be inaccurate regarding how live templates are formed and where, so it has been of no use to me. I can't find where the templates are kept! Can you help me? Thank you very much.

Choose a page type
When creating a new page it asks the user to "choose a page type". This is a basic question I know but how do I edit/create/delete these templates? I have edited some templates in the templates section but these do not seem to alter the templates used in "choose a page type". The templates that are there are good for general RPG but not quite what I need for the Athalandar wiki. Thanks for taking time to help us out. MurlynLAN.

Thanks for the help: Is there a guide to looking deeply into the wiki like the Createplace etc?

SwRpForce Character Template Help
Hi there, Thank you for looking upon my wiki. I was wondering how you create templates and get them to work for each page. I have tried, but I think I am doing something wrong. Would it be posible to give me a demonstration I have tried the wiki help pages but none of them seem to help. I have tried something such as:



I would like to be able to know how to create templates like this and make them work. Also, I would like to be able to create other templates of my own for items, locations etc. Finally, on other wikis, when I create a page, it asks what sort of page I would like, such as a character page, item page and it gives a sort of starter sheet to fill out. I was wondering how these are created also. Please get in touch when you can. Yours Hopefully, 86.132.218.252 16:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Battlefleet Gothic Wiki
Hi Richard & thanks for being available for help/advice. I have two questions. 1. How do I change my wiki skin (background)? 2. I believe that if Battlefleet Gothic (BFG) is to be catagorised as a game it must be included with tabletop games such as Warhammer 40K, etc. I am not sure how to achieve this?

Creepydude from Call of Duty Wiki
Hello, I'm Creepydude, from the Call of Duty Wiki. I have a question, and a request. On Call of Duty Wiki, can we have a "recent forum discussion" tab somewhere? I believe I saw one on Gaming Wiki. Just a tab up top where it says what is currently being talked about. However, I actually find those to be a little annoying, because if you accidentally hit "collapse" or whatever it says, there is no going back. What would be most convenient would be a "recent discussions" template on the sidebar to the left. Now Call of Duty Wiki is not a very big wiki, but I think just this simple feature, even if it were on the top bar, would be very convenient and worth it. If you have anything to add, or whether or not you will help, please post on my talk page at: "Talk: Creepydude." Thank you, Creepydude.


 * Hmmm, ok, I believe that would work. Once the RFAs are done of course.  Thanks a lot.  All I will need to do is find the "special:" that is for latest forum discussion.  Thanks for your help, Creepydude.

rich, where can I find Gnome?

Question
Greetings, Richard. I am Watcher, a psydo-member of the Zeldapedia community, and I have a question for you. If you have been watching the Temple of Courage Peanut Gallery lately, you will then know that I have been trying to find out wheather or not I can create a user page if I am unable to become an official user. The only way I can ask this question after having stated it is, "Can I?" Sincerelly, Watcher.
 * I left you an answer at Zeldapedia but it seems like your IP changes once in awhile. I'll post this message on my talk page too.


 * Do you mean like, for example, saying your username is "Cool Guy" but you haven't made an account? You shouldn't really do this as someone else may use that username or someone else may create that username in the future, and if that user was to come to this wiki and see someone else using that username, there might be a problem. Anyway, creating a username isn't hard, you don't even need to register your email, and registered users have more options than anonymous users.--Richardtalk 19:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Travians wiki
Hello there

i am attempting to get the travians wiki site up and running, except a couple of things are making it difficult, first off, i am doing it on my own and there are no administrators, as such it would be benifical if i was one.

Also, as i edit the pages, adverts are allways appearing in the top right of the corner, which is making it difficult, i have been trying to possition a picture in that corner so it completely messes up the layout, is there a way of removing this advert? i have seen it removed on other wikia sites

Hey, how do you put pictures on the wiki articles?

I don't know who to ask but...
Shouldn't we add Metal Gear Solid Touch to the upcoming releases on the front page of the Metal Gear Wiki? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask.

Huh?
How the heck do I promote someone to be an adminiatrator?


 * Use Special:UserRights on the wiki you want to promote someone on. Of course, you need to be a bureaucrat on that wiki. - Adan Aileron (talk) 03:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

How do I edit a page that is locked??


 * If you have the right permissions, it's just like editing any other page, otherwise you'll need to get someone with the appropriate permissions to unlock the page or edit it for you. - Adan Aileron (talk) 03:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Inactive Bureaucrat
Hi, I'm Aburnett001, an administrator on the Castle Crashers Wiki. I'm leaving this message for you because I'm a little concerned about the fact that our only bureaucrat has become (as far as I can tell) inactive. Being that this leaves our wiki "high and dry" in terms of promoting new sysops (if we ever need any more) and performing other upper-administrative operations, I was wondering if there was any way that I could be promoted to a bureaucrat. Hopefully with two bureaucrats present, we would always have one active 'crat available to take care of the wiki. If this is not possible, I was just wondering if you have any suggestions on what we should do about not having an active bureaucrat on our wiki. Give me holler on my talk page when you get the chance!

Thanks- Aburnett001Talk 20:35, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * How about that, just less than a minuite after I left you this message, I got a message from out wiki's 'crat. funny how things like that work. Sorry about this little waste of time!


 * Thanks- Aburnett001Talk 21:11, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Namespace/Category? Help
Hello, in response to your offer of help at www.vog.wikia.com. We are looking for help to create several large structures of data that each can have identically named articles, but will not link outside of their subject to other structures.

Example: Subject "Cabal Online" has an article named "Cash Shop" that has cabal only details. Subject "Requiem" has an identically named article, but it contains different data about Requiem only.

Thank you for any help you are able to send back to me as i was not able to find this information elsewhere.

How do I...?
Obviously if this works when I do this I will already know my answer, but in order for me to make more than one section in a page, all I need to do is have several headings and it will just automatically have the links?

New wiki
I found a new wiki on Animal Crossing: City Folk. Great! It's completely empty so far. I've added a couple of articles and fixed up the main page, but I can't edit the logo since it's locked. How does a wiki usually get started and set up with admins, etc?

Lonely starseeker 21:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)Lonely Starseeker

Oh, nevermind - I've found that the regular Animal Crossing wiki also covers this new game. I'll probably hop over there instead - and I've posted an announcement on the main page of the empty wiki that points over there.

Road Trip Adventure Wiki
Hi. I currently am the founder of the RTA wiki. I would like to ask you a favour. You know the edit toolbar? The place where you can see buttons for "Bold" text or Hyperlinks, etc. how would you be able to modify it to your desire. For example, I would like buttons for Welcoming Users and Welcoming IPs.

Just a little problem...
Hey, this is Moblin slayer, a user from Zelda Wikia. Over at Zeldapedia, we are having a small problem with numbering stuff. Basically, someone will type this:


 * 1) Text
 * 1) Text
 * 1) Text
 * 1) Text

However, instead of coming out like:

1. Text

2. Text

3. Text

4. Text

it comes out like:

1. Text

1. Text

1. Text

1. Text

I heard that this has happened on a few other wikias. Is this a wiki-wide problem, or is it just affecting a few wikias? --Moblin slayer (Moblin links to my user page on Zeldapedia, Slayer links to my talk page over there.)

WoWRP
Hi Richard. I was wondering something. Would it be possible to change the trail from ex. "World_of_Warcraft_Roleplay:Administrators" to "WoWRP:Administrators" on wikia.wowrp.com?

Five Rooms Wiki
Greetings! Would you be ever so kind as to drop by Five Rooms Wiki and build a short Createplate/Infobox for me? If you've ever heard of the five-room dungeon, that's what this wiki is dedicated to.

Basically, the Createplate can be called "5RD" and will contain six sections:
 * Introduction
 * Room One: Entrance And Guardian
 * Room Two: Puzzle Or Roleplaying Challenge
 * Room Three: Trick or Setback
 * Room Four: Climax, Big Battle Or Conflict
 * Room Five: Reward, Revelation, Plot Twist

The associated infobox would need to have only two entries:
 * Name
 * Suggested Level

I would be forever endebted to you if you could undertake this hopefully simple task. All the other Gaming createplates aren't necessary for this site (character, event, quest, etc.). Thanks! --Avery W. Krouse 23:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a question
When I look at the main page on my wiki, the greetings text disappeared, and then I also can't create a new page? why is that the text is gone and then why can't I create a new page? thanks. this is Commissar Yarrick also, from Lex Mechanicus.

I need a tutor
Ok as the heading says I need a tutor, I am finding the the tutorials arn't really helping what so ever, and I want to start help building up The Conduit Wiki so that it may start helping others and provide a story for thoose who want it. So could you like help me to learn how to edit and such so that I might be a better help to others? If not can you recommend someone else? Ekgladiator 20:35, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Wanted Articles
How do I edit the names of what is wanted? because it gives you a list of pre-determined articles like "requests for adminship) but I want to put out a lot of other pages on what's wanted for people at my forum(Just in case they look) Commissar Yarrick from Lex Mechanicus.

Copyright Information
Hello Rich,

This is ajman098 from the Kingdom of Orna Wiki, and I wanted to thank you for your message. As a matter of fact I do have an important question. I'm designing my wiki around a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that I'm in the middle of writing, and it would help me if I could use some of the images Wizards of the Coast has made available on their website. Do you know what the rules regarding copyright information I should know for this?

The way I see it, I have 3 options... 1) Use their large database of images to make putting this wiki together go much faster (so long as my use follows copyright law) and should that not be allowed/legal, 2) Contact Wizards and get their approval for my use of images (does that ever happen these days?!) and failing that, 3) Draw every image myself or pull it from the public domain (sigh). So I guess any info related to my situation would be helpful.

I realize this is a jumble of thoughts, so if you have any questions about what I'm asking don't hesitate to ask me for clarification.

Thanks for your time,

-Ajman 2:53 PM PST 2/11

A Very Risky Question
Hey Richard, I wanted to ask you this here instead of over at the MetalGearWiki because it concerns a certain IP user who keeps vandalizing and harassing our users. He's gotten into the habit of reverting things purely for the sake of it. Every time we ban him he simply comes back later with a slightly different IP address, and then proceeds to taunt me, commenting that we'll never be able to get rid of him and that I'm too stupid to find a way to ban him permanently. You may have noticed his presence. He commented recently that his ability to change his IP address is because he has a "dynamic IP modem." I'm literally sick and tired of seeing him harassing other users. That's why I wanted to suggest a possible Range Block to prevent him from editing. Now, as harsh as this IP might be, he's actually right in calling me stupid. I have no idea how I would go about setting this Range Block up. That's why I wanted to ask you two questions: 1) Is it against any rules Wikia have to put this into effect? 2) Is it possible you could set this up for us? I've noticed the last few IP addresses he's been using all start with "97.106" if that helps. If you need me to provide a general list of IP's he's been using I should easily be able to do that for you. Let me know on my talk page here at WikiaCentral whether we can do this or not, even temporarily. --Fantomas 14:44, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks a bunch. Fingers crossed this works. --Fantomas 20:31, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Attracting more users
Thank you for your welcome message on the wiki that I have recently started. I would like to attract more users to this wiki so that it can be expanded, but I am not sure what the best way to do this is. I have posted links to the wiki on relevant pages on other gaming wikis, but I have not managed to get any new users. Any help would be greatly appreciated. GT5162 21:48, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Somewhere else
I found your intro on another page somewhere else dating back two months ago. I can give you the link if you wish but I would just change the intro because it's almost on par with what you said. HERE

Also by the way, how did you send me a message, like you did before? I couldn't find anything else to send a message back to you

How do I edit/add categories to this, when I try to add something such as 'age' to it it doesn't do anything.

Is there any chance you could update the Skin at The Conduit Wiki? Everyone is asking me to do it, but I'm having issues with editing it and getting the result they want. They asked me to edit it on My Talk Page. Devilmanozzy 23:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry
I couldn't find out how to get to the page with my last question, I hope this doesn't cause any problems, sorry.

Why do some templates that I've seen working on other sites not work on mine?

And how come I can't replace the logo? I was hoping if it were possible for you to do, but if not, no worries, thanks.

Thanks for the welcome
Thanks for your kind offer to help, so far trial & error is cutting it, and Createplates is looking like an enormous bonus, the first one is almost done & I think will make it a lot easier for people to add stuff. You are sure to hear from me when I manage to get past the basics. It's a bonus to be building this as the module is being built - nobody is looking just yet, so I have a chance to really get it going & the structure & templates all in place, it will be a month or so before people using the test module are going to have stuff to add.

Copying content between wikis
I am a sysop on the Wii Wiki and I was wondering if I am allowed to copy pages from other Wii-related wikis onto this wiki. Also, do I need to make a template like to show where the information is from. Thanks. GT5162 20:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Can I use Special:Export and Special:Import to transfer pages. The problem with Special:Export is that some of the namespaces are different in both wikis. Is there any way I can correct that? GT5162 22:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If the licenses are compatable, you may import them and leave a template like on it. I don't know about the namespace, but you could probably just move it to the correct namespace after you import it. &mdash; [[Image:BalisticSig.png]] 22:54, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
