Non-Profit Organizations and Compensory Donations Links
We are currently working with non-profit organizations in generating support for our community; (SuperWikia) and we have already established relations with a notable web services group at Amazon.com.

The issue: The many different tools and links available at Amazon.com (Amazon Associates, AWS, etc.) are not compatible with wikitext and other MediaWikia applications.

The solution: By adding a non-profit compensory donation list to the whitelist, you may;
 * 1) generate proceeds for the numerous Jimmy Wales donation drives
 * 2) create new retention and incentive programs for authors/contributors
 * 3) establish a stronger sysop/administrator base by pooling resources for voter benefits
 * 4) proliferate the educational component of the organization by endorsing non-profit events
 * 5) recieve government support and tax incentives for hosting tax exempt organizations
 * 6) enforce Wikia's policy on open source publishing by restricting/moderating commercial accounts

and many other areas which are still in development.

For more information on Amazon and their many programs for fund raising, contact myself at super.wikia.com or go direct to http://aws.amazon.com Thanks a bunch a good luck Mr. Wales! Habatchii 05:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

share images bewteen english and chinese versions of the same wikia
hi there, I am the admin for gintama.wikia.com. I recently started the chinese version at zh.yinhun.wikia.com with the intention that the content, design, layout etc would be identical to the english version, save for the language in the content. However, I face some problems in sharing the images. Since the images that zh.yinhun is using are ported over from the english gintama, I am unable to get them to resize properly, even though they are using the exact same template as the english version (refer to main page of both sites). Is there a way for the chinese version to re-size the english-version images from the chinese site's end? I really don't see any point in re-uploading more than 500 images, they will all be identical. thanks Gin-san (Talk) 17:22, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Online Status
Hello, I wish to have a website added to allow users to show their online status on their userpage. The website is http://www.imstatuscheck.com/ and allows hotlinking. It works with many services such as IAM, ICQ, GTalk, MySpace and MSN. Manyman 06:27, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Tinypics?
Could tinypic.com be added to the list for use on the El Goonish Shive Wiki: specifically, for the character test images? --Brovie    talk 05:07, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can actually create a local whitelist for just that wiki, by creating this same page name at that wiki. --Uberfuzzy 05:58, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
