Welcome
Welcome,, to the Central Wikia!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual Wikia, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialise and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new Wikia, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help reverse spam and vandalism.

Musik-Wiki
Hallo Avatar, da ich auf deinen Hinweis nun versuche meine Idee im Musik-Wiki zu verwirklichen, aber leider zur Zeit der einzige aktive Benutzer seit mehr als zwei Monaten bin, wollte ich dich Fragen, ob ich vielleich Adminrechte bekommen könnte, da ich leider einige Tippfehler Artikel erstellt habe und die wieder loswerden will. --Judithhh 10:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Prima, dass du das Musik-Wiki adoptieren magst. Ich habe dir eben die entsprechenden Rechte gegeben. --Avatar 10:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Vielen Dank --Judithhh 11:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * auch noch zu meinem Progressive Rock Wiki: Ich denke, das bietet dann ja jetzt doch an, die idee erstmal im musikwiki zu starten, da erstens wahrscheinlich nicht viele User mitmachen werden und weil ja jetzt die Rock-Abteilung sowieso ausgebaut wird (denke ich mal). Es braucht also erstmal kein neues Wiki entstehen... :) Gruß   Floyd93     (Diskussion)  16:36, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

My name @ Wikia...
Hi, I like your work on Wikia very much, but I've one thing to complain: I don't like the following page to be found on google by searching my name: http://search.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:German_Fordinal

Is it possible to disable this funktion? Like not being searched by google or sth like that??

Would be nice, Thx a lot!


 * Sad but true I don't think there is a possibility right now to exclude a user talk page from the Google search index. But I'll talk to our tech people and will find out if they have an idea. --Avatar 04:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Deutsches Club Penguin-Wiki
Hallo: Ich bräuchte zweimal Hilfe:
 * 1) möchte ich gerne das Monobook-Skin als meinen Default-Skin wie das englische Club Penguin-Wiki, da dies übersichtlicher ist und viele Leute Wikipedia gewohnt sind. Könntest du das für mich einrichten? Danke.
 * 2) wäre es nett wenn du mir erzählen könntest wir ich meine navigation-bar ändern kann, also einen Link da einfügen oder herausnehmen und wie ich ein weiteres menü erstellen kann.

Danke für die Hilfe im Voraus,

--Londogne 09:28, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Antworten deiner Fragen:


 * 1) Wikia unterstützt seit der Einführung von Monaco nicht mehr Monobook, es sei den das Wikia wurde noch mit Monobook erstellt. Aber abgesehen davon, bietet Monaco viele neue nützliche und tolle Features, wo Monobook einfach nicht mithalten kann. Aber wie ich sehe, benutzt De.Club Penguin-Wiki noch Monobook. Schaue mal in deinen Einstellungen nach ob du vielleicht ein anderes persönliches Skin (für dich) eingestellt hast.
 * 2) Die Navigation von Monobook kannst du unter MediaWiki:Sidebar, von Quartz unter MediaWiki:Navlinks und von Monaco unter MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar bearbeiten. Eine ausführliche Anleitung zur Monaco-Anpassung findest du in Inside-Wikia.
 * Grüße und viel Spaß beim Bearbeiten, Tomsen (talk) 11:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm...
 * Eigentlich ist es anders herum: In meinen persönl. Einstellungen habe ich Monobook, melde ich mich ab bekomme ich Monaco angezeigt. Das möchte ich ändern.
 * Danke
 * --Londogne 19:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Aufgrund der besseren Anpassbarkeit und der erweiterten Funktionen von Monaco bieten wir Monobook nicht mehr als Standard-Skin an. Die Möglichkeit es in den eigenen Einstellungen vzu verankern besteht aber wie bisher weiterhin. Das englische Club Penguin hat jetzt seit einer Weile auch Monobook als Standard-Skin, so dass es sinnvoll ist, dass dies bei den einzelnen Sprachversionen auch der Fall ist. Zu Punkt 2: Die Seite übersetz' ich gerade (immer einen Satz, wenn ich egrade mal was Freizeit finde ;) --Avatar 09:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

"Good article" discussion on en.WP
Hi Tim. I haven't been around the #wikia-de channel much because we didn't have many "customers"; if you start to get people needing help when you aren't around, please let me know and I'll come back to help.

I'm actually here about something else. I understand you're an admin at de.WP. We're having a big (and important, I think) discussion about whether to start putting the "Good Article" symbol at the top of Good Articles in mainspace on en.WP. It's been pointed out that the Spanish and Chinese WP's do this. I posted this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:GA:


 * You can see an example of a German "Lesenswerte" ("worthy of reading") page at . Their equivalent of WP:GA begins: "Die folgenden Artikel sind fachlich korrekt, belegt, ausführlich und informativ. Deshalb wurden sie mit [[Image:Qsicon lesenswert.png|15px]]  gekennzeichnet."  Correct me if I'm wrong, someone, but I translate this as: "The following articles are correct with respect to their subject, (well) sourced, extensive and informative.  For these reasons, they are denoted by [[Image:Qsicon lesenswert.png|15px]]."  If anyone wants to know, I know one of the German admins and I'll ask him if any of the problems brought up by the opposition below have been in evidence on the German Wikipedia.

They do want to know :) What's your opinion, has the "L" symbol on de.WP caused people to believe things about the quality of the articles that was not true? Could you post your opinion somewhere on that page, please, either in a new section or under my comment?  If you'd rather answer here, that's fine too.  Thanks for your time. - Dan talk on en.WP


 * Sorry, that I was ignoring this message for so long. Catching up with Wikipedia discussions is very time consuming and I wasn't able to find enough ease to deal with it. All in all I can say that the community (it's hard to measure the impact outside of the community) is happy with having "Lesenswerte" article besides the "Exzellente Artikel". The requirements of "Exzellente Artikel" are very high (and so there are not too many), but there are many "good" articles out there which are definitly worth reading. This was the birth of the "Lesenswerte Artikel". At the beginning, there were objections against the idea (including me) because of the fear that the quality standards will lower. This hasn't happened - contrary: the requirements for "Lesenswerte Artikel" were raised. Both, the "lesenswerte" and the "exzellente" symbols are today perceived as an indication of quality. --Avatar 04:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Help pages
Well, I don't completely understand the issue. It just sounds like you are talking about moving to a dedicated German help wiki and using interlanguage links and a redirect from a de.help to the German word for help.

Though I do have an interesting possibility. The id used in the parser cache can actually be modified by extensions. So actually, it's functionally possible to have different content depending on the content language. Basically with an extension it should be possible to have langcode.help.wikia.com setup so that the langcode will alter the content language variable (Actually my dev site uses the langcode trick for testing). It should also be possible to make use of an extension to make it so that when you visit XYZ on ....help.wikia.com if XYZ/langcode exists then the content of XYZ/langcode will replace the content of XYZ using the ParserBeforeStrip hook, and also include the lang code inside of the parser cache's id.

Functionally that will mean that help.wikia.com can contain help in every language. Changing the code to go to de.help.wikia.com, ja.help.wikia.com, etc... Will change the content language of the help wiki. And if there are localized versions of a help page then they will be displayed there instead of the English help. (You can also fake a language sidebar that'll link people to any language they want) ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jul 30, 2008 @ 07:55 (UTC)


 * Yes, dealing with multiple languages probably does get a bit complex, especially when you want titles to work correctly to.
 * Though if you did go the extension method. It may actually be possible to #ALIAS titles together. Perhaps some sort of map that maps titles in other languages to the English page. The extension would smartly handle redirects to point people at the title according to what language they are viewing in. There is also a hook for modifying action tabs (Point the edit tab to the edit page for the localized version of the page). ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Jul 30, 2008 @ 08:16 (UTC)

Schuelerwiki
Ich würde dich bitten, doch das Schuelerwiki zu erstellen, da im Bildungswiki oft nur Internetlinks gezeigt werden und die Artikel sehr kurz sind. Ich hätte auch schon Personen, die mich unterstützen würden. Ich dachte beim Schuelerwiki an eine andere Struktur und die Artikel sollten nur mit der Schule zu tun haben.--Green Citrus 14:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Das Bildungswiki ist ja leider nicht sehr aktiv - was würdest du denn davon halten, es zu adoptieren und entsprechend deiner Vorstellungen umuzgestalten? Dann könntest du auf den bestehenden Inhalten aufbauen. Oder ist das keine Alternative, die für dich sinnvoll wäre? --Avatar 14:54, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Ja das könnte ich machen, ich werde es mir überlegen. Es wäre aber auch schön, wenn ich vielleicht noch die Alternative hätte das Schuelerwiki als einzelnes Wiki zu machen.
 * Um ganz ehrlich zu sein, bin ich noch nicht davon überzeugt, dass ein relativ breit angelegtes Schülerwiki funktioniert. Ich würde vorschlagen, dass du a) versucht das Bildungswiki nach deinen Vorstellungen umzubauen oder b) ein Schülerwiki als Mini-Wiki startest. Wenn es da funktioniert, dann bin ich auch gerne bereit, es ist ein "echtes" Wiki umziehen zu lassen. --Avatar 15:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Wiki.png
Hallo, ich bekomme es einfach nicht hin, daß mein Logo angezeigt wird. Ich habe es als "Wiki.png" hochgeladen, es hat die richtige Größe und leider wird es auch nach einigen Tagen nicht angezeigt. Ich sehe immer nur den blauen "Wikia"- Schriftzug. Das Wappen, das angezeigt werden soll ist hier. Wie gesagt, es ist hochgeladen, Name und Größe stimmt. Woran liegts? *verzweifelt guck*

Ach und gleich noch eine Frage: Warum funktioniert zB. hier das Inhaltsverzeichnis nicht? Danke schonmal Lady-Whistler 18:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Du hast dir einen schlechten Zeitpunkt ausgesucht um das Bild upzudaten :-). Spaß beiseite. Tut mir leid, dass es ein Problem gibt - du machst nichts falsch. Bereits seit letzter Woche (!) gibt es das Problem, dass Bilder nicht überschrieben werden können. Die Erklärung ist recht umfangreich. Um es abzukürzen: Das Problem ist in Arbeit und wird hoffentlich bald gelöst sein. Ich habe noch mal extra auf der deutschsprachigen Hauptseite darauf hingewiesen.
 * Was genau funktioniert auf der Kategorie-Seite nicht? Die entsprechenden Seiten werden bei mir aufgelistet. --Avatar 21:16, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * ufff! Dann ist ja gut ... also nicht wirklich gut, aber naja... ich hab schon an meinem Verstand gezweifelt  -)
 * Die Hauptkategorie wird angezeigt, was ich gemeint habe ist die Vorlage: . Die will einfach nicht tun, was sie soll ;-(
 * Lady-Whistler 22:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, ok. Auf diese Weise wird das leider nicht funktionieren (ich wüsste auch keinen einfachen Ersatz). Die Vorlage TOC1 wird in "normalen Artikel" eingesetzt und funktioniert einfach dadurch, dass die entsprechenden Anker angesprungen werden. Kategorie-Seiten sind aber anders aufgebaut, so dass die Vorlage hier nicht funktioniert. Da die Kategorie "intern" von MediaWiki generiert wird, sehe ich hier auch wenig Chancen für eine andere Lösung. TOC1 kann eigentlich nur bei "händisch erstellten" Seiten benutzt werden. --Avatar 22:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * In 95% der Fälle liegt das daran, wenn du unter "MEHR...", "Einstellungen", "Bearbeiten", "Externen Editor als Standard benutzen" eingeschaltet hast. Ausschalten und es funktioniert wieder.
 * Alternativ kann sich auch der Browser "verschluckt" haben. Browser-Cache löschen sollte helfen.

Announcing translations
Hey Avatar,

About announcing the translations, this will be done using talk page messaging, right? Could the translations of talk page messaging also be added to International? This way, when we announce the new features (placeholder, my home, dynamic links, etc.) this will be in Dutch. Also; all the translations on messaging can be implemented online (except if somebody else has to check them, I'll try to find somebody then).

Regards, Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 11:29, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's a list of translations that can be moved to International: User:Tedjuh10/Dutch Translations. Thanks! Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 14:24, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

That's kind of a service! Thanks :-). Will need a few days. The translation of talk page messaging perhaps isn't too useful, because only staff kan use this tool. The original idea was to publish our English announcements so you can get some inspirations for a localized announcement - which would be send out by a staff member to all e.g. Dutch users. --Avatar 11:47, October 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Allright ;). I've shortened the message, however, this does mean that the message does not include the word "image" in Dutch; I'm not certain if this will cause any confusion, but I couldn't find a different way to shorten it. Also, I've been thinking a bit, and I changed "Plaatshouder" to "Plaatsvervanger", this fits in a bit better, sorry for the inconvenience. Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 13:49, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Avatar, help me
Sorry about my english. I'm a brazillian sysop from desciclopedia. I need you help, this article here is talking unreal things about me. This guy, "Desbico" are the only contributor in that wiki, and all the articles there are about our staff team (all of then offending us), because he was banned. Well, he is using my real name and my photo, I think he gets this on my orkut or facebook. I really appreciate if you delete this content and protect my name for new creations. If you want to see something to proof my iddentity talk me please. Thanks! Tyler-Durden 10:13, November 24, 2009 (UTC) (Pedro Matavelli)

Namespaces on c:fr.bible
Hi Avatar,

I asked MtaÄ for creating Namespaces for w:c:fr.bible about 10 days agos and he said to me that you will perform the creation of the Namespace I requested. Please, is it possible to do that ASAP? Thanks. Juste a reminder: Please add the first three namespaces in the statistic counts but not the two last ones.
 * Chapitre: Namespace used to have all the chapters of the Bible;
 * Strong: This namespace will include all special numbers used to determine the link between a word of the Bible and its counterpart in Hebrew and Greek;
 * Thompson: This namespace will include all numbers used in The Thompson Bible to regroup all the topics;
 * Projet: This namespace will include all the projects for this wiki;
 * Portail: This namespace will include all the portals of this wiki.

Still awainting those namespace, he said to mark a link for the request. Thank you very much for your action. --LIMAFOX76 17:30, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, had not found time to take care of this till now. Have fun! --Avatar 23:20, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Greek translation
Hi Avatar, I talked with MtaÄ and sent me to you. I would like to translate the Monaco skin and the rich text editor, but I don't know exactly what to do. If I create the page International/New editor messages/el, the rich text editor will be translated?--Περίεργος 11:00, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's the "easy way" for you :-). You can translate them there and ping one of us and then someone needs to get your translations and enter it into the system. A much better solution would be if you take a look at the link to Help:Internationalization in the mail I sent to you, which describe who you can translate those features via translatewiki.net - so your translations will be added automagically to our system (after ~1 week max). --Avatar 14:45, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Requests for adminship of the zh lostpedia
Hi, I'm from Hong Kong and I'm here to requests for adminship of the 中文(chinese/zh)lostpedia. I'm very sorry for my bad english. If there anything I said is actually impolite, please forgive me, and hope you can understand what I'm saying. I don't know if I go to a wrong place, but the Chinese Wikia page told me that I can requests in here. I really want to be the administrator of the chinese lostpedia, because I want to clean up that "messy pedia". As I saw lots of people moved some pages from a right name to a wrong name(They actually think the wrong name is right, so they moved it), and I can't moved it back to the right name because the "right name page" was already exist. So, if I wanted to move those pages, I need to delete the "right name page". But I'm not an administrator, I could do anything except watching it is wrong everyday. Also, there were lots of pages have to merge, but no administrator merge them. Now, The pedia have less people editing every day except me, so I think whatever I requests to merge or delete, nobody will know. Even I doubt sometimes if there any administrators of the pedia, as I never saw them doing things. At last, if you think I still have to do better before to becoming the administrator, I will do better and hope you can help me to solve those problems. Whatever I go to a right or wrong place, thankyou for wasting time to reading this.--Enos 16:36, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Enos. There is only one admin account and he wasn't active since over a year, so your help is more than welcome! I just gave you admin rights. Good luck! --Avatar 09:16, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks!--Enos 17:41, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
