User talk:Devilmanozzy

Welcome
Welcome, Devilmanozzy, to Community Central! .

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

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. For finding a helper or a staff, speaking your language, see the page Staff and Helpers by language. 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 socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, 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 revert spam and vandalism.

Enjoy!–– Σulãlíã 459 678 22:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Main Page
I've unprotected it. If you see Main Pages protected and the recent changes has little/no activity, then just contact Wikia and someone will probably unprotect it.--Richardtalk 21:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Favicon and logo at Conduit Wiki
I've unprotected them so that users who have accounts older than four days can edit those pages just to be on the safe side since those images can be seen sitewide.--Richardtalk 21:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: GB game
I'd say its up to the wiki's community on what to do. They could make a seperate wiki for the game, or just have all the info on the GB wiki. It doesn't matter to me.--Richardtalk 18:31, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Animation and Cartoons
Hi. These are definitely similar topics for a wiki but I think both wikis are valid; looking around, Cartoon Wiki is seeing both traffic and some real contributions in the last month, and you are doing a lot of work on Animation, so neither is actually dead. You are welcome to copy content between the two wikis, and you can ask to adopt Cartoon Wiki if you would rather work there (or to work on both), but I don't see a real case for merging them right now. I would recommend making one of them really good so that's where everybody goes :) -- Wendy (talk ) 14:33, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey,

Could you do me a favor? Do you remember that image you made up for my Demon Hunter Wiki? Could you put it in the logo box for me? I'd do it, but I've no idea how. When I've tried, its gotten extremely complicated. I really need your help, as I'm entirely new to this whole Wiki thing. I'd really appreciate it. --Kyle G. 02:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

New Wiki
Hey Devilmanozzy, I recently started the http://vampirehunterd.wikia.com, and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I've mostly just made tons of minor edits to many wikis across the web, I'm a complete noob at advanced wiki coding & stuff. I read on your user page at Ghostbusters that you like to help new wikis, I could really use some help/guidance.--Rei-Ginsei 20:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

You were blocked after repeated adding of the same useless information, plus asking questions that are easy to answer with a simple look. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  16:40, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

CommunityStickies
Hi, I want to make sure that you see the announcement on the WikiStickies blog page about the new way to create your own CommunityStickies! You'd posted that you wanted a way to customize the stickies, and now you'll be able to make your own. Leave a message on the blog page if you have any questions about it! -- Danny (talk ) 22:02, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Adoption request
First of all, please be civil. Getting upset at basically nothing is not helping anyone. Second, there is no need to report me, as anyone conserned is already well aware of my actions. Third, you seem to miss the fact that that was not the right place to have the request, or comment on that request. Such things need to be done through Special:Contact, or, if applicable, on the VSTF wiki page. Lastly, it was not my intention to remove your precious comments, but rather to keep the page clean. Thanks, Ajraddatz Talk 18:22, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Why did you remove Wicca Wiki from Adoption request page?
You seem like a normal editor like me, so you should know its not up to us to remove requests. Whats wrong with the request? You should have just posted why it shouldn't get the adoption and left it at that. Anyways I have reposted it. Please leave a comment there on why not instead. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  04:30, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also vandalism started happening only a few days ago at Wicca wiki and you may want to note that. The Wicca Wiki needs help at this time, not being looked away from. I think we have a lot in common here, but you may have walked into something you were unaware of. I brought in Sarah Manley as I told her all about the issues I'm seeing. You should address her too on this as its starting to get into a bigger problem. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  04:39, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * That wasn't a request for adoption, that was a request to close the wiki. That isn't the right place to request that the wiki be closed. Ajraddatz Talk 13:06, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * True to a point. It was however a request of some sort, that and I had responded to it. I feel at that point a Helper is the only one that can address it. Erasing a topic means we lose content and information. You may not value the content, but it was a request to Adopt a wiki to close it or merge it. I stated I didn't agree with it, but its a helpers place to address it, and in open public so people following it will know the outcome. Erasing Comments and requests leads to confusion. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  17:32, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * You aren't a helper, and there is a place specifically for reporting wikis. That request has no business being on the adoption page; and a closure of that wiki would be rejected. Ajraddatz Talk 18:00, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I made a comment to it, so it had became a conversation. Your no helper either. Don't play god with my comments next time. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  18:04, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * First of all, stop being a dick. Second, I'm not playing god, I was helping to keep the adoption requests moving by not completing requests, but rather correcting missing elements. Anyone can do that. Now that the Wicca Wiki actually has a request for adoption, it is fine. However, as stated above, that is not the place to request the closure of a wiki. Ajraddatz Talk 18:06, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

"Everyone needs to calm down, if this fight continues, there will be blocks made. Ajraddatz is is not up to you what will and will not happen, either with wiki closures or adoption requests, nor it is up to you to remove something like that from the adoption page. This is all the decisions made by Wikia staff. Thanks. -- 20:08, May 20, 2010 (UTC)"

Re:Facebook Wiki
Hi! Sorry about the late reply; I thought I replied days ago. :P http://facebook.wikia.com/ is one of my side projects; I mainly edit elsewhere. I did plan to make it sort of a hub for all the other Facebook Game Wikis (Farmville, Mafia Wars, etc). The sole basis wasn't going to be applications, as users could go to the individual wikis for that kind of information. I also planned to cover general Facebook aspects, such as chat, history, the people, etc. Maybe even memes and stuff too. I've already created an IRC channel (#wikia-facebook) which I plan to present to the Facebook Gaming wikis soon. I think Facebook.Wikia is more general than Facebookapplications.Wikia, as the latter would only cover some information that is covered on most other wikis. Plus, Facebook.Wikia would receive a higher Google ranking most likely. For now, I might keep my editing to the Facebook Wiki, as the name would make it more likely to receive site-views in the long run, while also keeping the basis for topics open and general. Don't get me wrong, though; your editing on the Facebook Apps Wiki and Ghostbusters Wiki is fantastic. Keep it up! ;) 02:22, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

RE: your comments about the new wikia changes
You wrote:


 * Ghostbusters Wikia is looking at possibly moving over issues of these changes. I have been trying to be reasonable with Wikia, and I wont be leaving as I am part of wikias, but Ghostbusters Wikia is being crippled with the new no back button problem, and images randomly loading at will, and Ads that wont stay quiet. We're as Ghostbusters Wikia are looking to move or merge with a wiki outside of wikia. Sorry, I think this change is a FAIL for wikia. They need to listen to they user base. This "Change" is not welcome.


 * I have been a voice of reason, as I thought maybe wikia would listen to people at the end of the day. They haven't. I don't hate the wikia staff, but they have to understand by now, as basically customers, we can leave whenever we want, and too many people currently around me see this change as only a bad thing.

What are some of the alternatives that you found? See my talk page, najevi recommends: wikkii.com Maybe we can compile off wikia alternatives to wikia? Please message me on my talk page of any alternatives you found. Thank you. Anno1404 23:58, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Setting up Wiki sites
Hi Devilmanozzy any pointers as to how to set up a private mediawiki based site like you have. I'm thinking of moving my 'project' private as i have very few editors helping me so would like to set up a new wiki that is read only for the public and release it under the CC by SA as here, like some other niche encyclopaedia projects. I've looked at the mediawiki site for the code but dont understand all the other stuff involved (Mysql and php etc), so would appreciate any links to sites with easy to follow instructions on setting one up (even if just to run a Wiki on my own PC). I dont fancy being forced to moving again after spending another 2 years creating a new site an then the host changing the rules and messing it all up again. I currently have 4000 + content pages 6000 image pages and 15000 other pages with 50,000 + images instock for uploading, so need a site with plenty of capacity hence using wikia originally. - BulldozerD11 23:15, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mediawiki Downloads has a list of versions of the system to set up. You need to decide what features matter, and choose a the version that will be the most friendly. After that, you will if you use Infobox templates, need the right Parser functions. But it just takes time and research to build a wiki. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  03:13, September 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks I'd found the Mediawiki Site but am stumped by all the associated stuff needed to get it operational on a PC. Looks like I may be easier buying a domain name and hosting that offers mediawiki as part of the package then. Thanks - BulldozerD11 11:07, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well offhand, as many are saying, you can always give Shoutwiki a try. They offer to help move wikis too. Contact they staff here. Wish you best of luck with the move. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  11:14, September 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for suggestion, had a look but undecided as to there long term prospects, based on current content. As 'my' original wikis scope had changed from it initial idea I think i'll develop a new version based on some of the lessons i learnt and with a wider remit as main part of my original idea was copied by a big US corporation. Monobook is too bland & Oassises loss of content space & Corporate adverts biased layout too much like other web general sites for my liking, compounded by Wikia pushing of the Gaming, Entertainemt and Lifstyle wikis groups and sidelineing all the other areas.


 * So more of create a new project model than a move, a bit like the management team of a corporation leaving after a take over by new owners who then start changing everthing to pay back the debt they borrowed to finance the takeover !! Good look rebranding/structuring all your wikis to suit the new skin, I think you will be busy. I had considered jumping ship when some of the previous changes came in, but decided to live with them at that time, but the emphasis on social networking rubbish and blogs was getting too prominent and this Skin thing is the final change too far. - BulldozerD11 14:45, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

AWA
Since you said you plan to move the GB wiki, Smiley12 and I were wondering if you'd like to add your username to Forum:Anti-Wikia Alliance. It's not really a petition, as much as a list of wikis and users that plan to move, just to give the staff a different perspective.

Ughh
Just go here

Your blog post
Thanks for your reply & suggestions to my comments on your blog post. I felt it (your blog) deserved some comment in the tide of rather pointless posts that were being made at that time in several other blogs as it raised some very good points on running / starting a wiki. I thought it might start some debate from other users but i failed to achieve that as every body had there anti-wikia (skin) heads on. Thanks for actually looking at my page and replying with constructive comments. - BulldozerD11 21:19, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Were you the one who leaved me that cold Comment. last night,between the hours of 8:00 to 9:00. -- Cb13 (talk) 1:27 P.M, November 07, 2010

Hey
It's X pro. I majoly answered your questions. You might want to get what you say and make it able for me to understand it. Anyway go to the link a few messages ago that I sent you.The Shadow Arises! 22:26, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Plus on your user page, there a LOT more wiki's than that


 * I am confused at what all you just said. However, I wrote a blog a week or two ago you may find helpful... Blog Post.


 * As far as the list of wikis I edit at, I do visit other wikis depending on my feelings towards the requests for help. Heck, I was over at Glee Wiki yesterday helping out. The list is of the haunts I hang out at. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  22:41, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't notice I erased your comment until now. I was erasing my friend (Gleek.00)'s comment like she asked me. It's hard to see everything in source! I'm so sorry!

Help!
I was surfing the Ghostbusters Wiki and suddenly came here. What happened to Wikia? Why do I keep going to the Wikia community every time I try to get back?

SonofSamhain 12:21, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for your response to my query. I raised this flag when I caught some of the plotters using the word "coup" -- I believe they were planning to set up a false vote to de-sysop me.

how do i make a new character ?

Hi Matt, my name is Chris and I am new to wikia. I am trying to create a wikia page for my Red Dead Redemption clan for the Xbox 360 and am having a hard time understanding how to create my own templates and how to add them to my wikia so that they don't show up as non-existent. I would like a quote template and I am trying to create a info box similar but not exact to the one to the right of this page: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Khans I find it difficult to find everything my wikia has to offer aswell. How do I change the general font & font color? And how do I lock a page so that guest can't tamper with it? If you could help me out with this it would be much appreciated.

Partial Assistance with Darius Wiki.
I Figured I could lend a hand with the Darius Wiki. Despite my potential, I am not really experienced on the how-tos of working a Wiki, but the basic interface has enabled me to clear up a number of things.

Let's face it, Sometimes those who stumble onto some things can really make some large changes. I hope we can work together on the articles surrounding that particular game. Also, Dariusburst Another Chronicle, despite having the same engine, is another game on it's own right, not a straight-up Port.

Hi Devilmanozzy,

I saw that you put a message in my wiki about starting a 'spam wiki'. Sorry if it looks that way. I just wanted to inform you that I built that wiki to provide help for fellow back pain sufferers and not for 'spamming purposes'. I currently am making content to be put in the blogs and will update the wiki I made when it is ready. I am new to wikia and hope to get some help as well to prevent such issues from happeening again.

Thanks and hoping to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Jarg Woldhuis

Excuse me but I REALLY need to speak with you.
