Fallout Fanon Wiki
On the Fallout Fanon wiki we have 3 inactive admins, 2 have moved to China well the other one is simply focusing on the Fallout wiki, and I (and two others) have been nominated to become a new admin, but, we have no admins to give this power. I didn't post on the adoption page because our wiki is active. So, please help. //-- Teh Krush 11:20, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Smashtasm wiki
Hello. I want it on smashtasm wiki so that when you click the logo, i want it to go to the Main page, not the smashtasm wiki article. How do I do it?supercoolguy147 20:50, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you can use the "Move" button to move the name to "Main Page". GT5162 21:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

fr.dofus
Hi Angela,

Since that wiki is dead/vandalize maybe you could (since im not very good at that) extend an invitation to http://wiki-dofus.eu/ to join us here. I know that recently they had a server crash on november/december and change server/url because of that so maybe they could be interested on merging/overlapping their wiki with fr.dofus --

Can u help me?
I'm the member of the zh-uncyclopedia, but you'll see, the webside have become so strange now. I have known that just is a hoax on the April Fool's Day. But I'm being in the wikia for a short time only, so I can't find the way to visit the real zh-uncyclopedia. Can u help me? ありがとうございました！--饭丝不好吃 03:18, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Request: desyop inactive evchk admins
Hello! I'm from EVCHK(香港網絡大典).

We have some EVCHK admins who aren't online and/or didn't utilize their admin rights for a long time. In view of that, those admins are to be desyopped.

The inactive admins are listed at.

Quoted from the topic:
 * 1) w:c:evchk:User:W（disappeared on Jun 2007）
 * 2) w:c:evchk:User:JJable（disappeared on Aug 2007）
 * 3) w:c:evchk:User:華文翰（disappeared on Sep 2008）
 * 4) w:c:evchk:User:LungZeno（inactive admin after 2008）
 * 5) w:c:evchk:User:Tomchiukc‎（inactive admin after 2008）

delete http://uncyclopedia-april.wikia.com/
Dear Angela, please delete the hoax site http://zh.uncyclopedia-april.wikia.com/. It caused "You have new messages" in the talk page that cannot be get rid of.--Leeyc0 03:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Username merge
I'm not sure how this works, but people seem to come to you about it. I have two other user names that I need merged with this account (Master Conjurer). They are Ericrvjr and MasterConjurer. Is that possible, and do I need to do/show anything else to do it? // masterConjurer ( Talk ) _ 05:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merges aren't possible. What others were talking about was merging an account that had been renamed with their Wikia name when an external wiki moved to Wikia. Angela (talk) 18:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Userpedia
Hi, it's Elvira here, remember when you said that I could make a new userpedia wiki as the older one was about to be locked? I thought a lot about it and I've decided I'll create a new one with this address smwuserpedia.wikia.com. How do I create it? Raphaella Elvira will stay at WIKIA 14:52, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Please visit requests.wikia.com. Angela (talk) 15:16, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Auto Create Wiki
I suggest you turn it off until you fix it. It is taking away already open wikis' descriptions. See Bleach for example (history). &mdash; 17:00, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have fixed another such case, involving the Music hub.  19:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've reported it through Special:Contact and the techs are looking at it. ~Joey~  ^Talk^  02:43, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikianswers
I've just started answering questions on Wikianswers and the first 2 questions that I saw were "What is the max hit of a green dragon?" and ""treasure" in native language?" Is there a category for "questions that need rephrasing" that I can add them to because more information is needed to answer them? Thanks. GT5162 15:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * There's no category since it's usually easier to rename a question than to add a category. It's unlikely the asker will come back and clarify what they meant, so you just need to make a guess and turn the question into something that can be answered. If it's not possible to rephrase it or answer it, you can add a tag. One way to find what someone meant is to click on their username or IP and find out what else they have asked. In the examples you give, the green dragon asker had also asked one about RuneScape and the native language one had asked a second question instead of rephrasing his first (wikianswers:What is the word "treasure" in the native American language?) Angela (talk) 16:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply. GT5162 17:13, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Creating new wikis
When a new wiki is created, the "administrators" page that is automatically created still says that bureaucrats "are not currently able to remove admin access from any user; please contact one of the community team if you need that done." (For example, on the Firefox Wiki, which I created earlier this week). Perhaps this should be changed as bureaucrats can now remove sysop rights from users. Thanks.

His Dark Materials Wiki
Hi Angela. I'm an admin at the HDM Wikia, which has recently been somewhat lacking in activity. I've come across a few other Wikis dealing with the His Dark Materials trilogy, and was wondering about the possibility of a merge with these sites: Regardless of their current levels of activity, both of these Wikis have some very good information, but they also seem to be struggling. I think we would all benefit if they were offered the opportunity to bring their content across to Wikia. Many thanks. --Adam (talk) 13:45, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * BridgeToTheStars.net - Almost completely inactive, with no contributions this year. The last edit was vandalism, which hasn't yet been reverted.
 * Srafopedia - Has currently active admins, but the site seems to have been slowly drowning in automated spam attacks for some time. Also, an interesting and unique title using the name of an important element from the series.
 * Those wikis aren't a part of Wikia. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 13:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of that, however I don't see that that precludes such a merge from being possible. I'm also an admin at a non-Wikia wiki which received such a merger offer from Angela some time ago. This is what prompted me to consider posting this request. --Adam (talk) 13:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, Michael. It is not uncommon for content from non-Wikia site to move to Wikia or be merged with existing Wikia wikis. Angela does this a lot. :) -- 13:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Can he even contact the owners of those two wiki? They seem long gone. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. Both wikis are run by large and active HDM fansites, whose webmasters should be readily contactable:
 * hisdarkmaterials.org Contact Info
 * bridgetothestars.net Contact Info --Adam (talk) 15:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Mergers are always welcome. Neither wiki has yet licensed their content under the GFDL which adds a complication but doesn't make it impossible. I think what hdm.wikia needs most is more editors. Looking at these two wikis, there aren't very many people involved, so it may be worth talking directly to the few people that are editing here and see if they would like to join you on Wikia. If they do, then I'm always available to help with importing content. Do you find that either of these wikis are showing up in search results when you search google for things related to your wiki? Angela (talk) 19:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply Angela. I have to confess, that after doing some more research I feel slightly embarrassed at my naively over-simplified suggestion. Srafopedia is in a far more "complete" state than I'd judged by my initial cursory assessment, with many times more articles than hdm.wikia. Also, their articles appear among the top ranked Google search results for many series-related search terms. Based on this, I can't help but feel that they may view the benefits of any potential merger as somewhat one-sided.
 * I also completely agree with your view that hdm.wikia is lacking in editors; my hope was that a merge would drive increased contribution, whereas I now see that it should be the other way around if anything. I suspect that Srafopedia's lower activity levels may be due to editors viewing the content as nearing completion, given the somewhat finite and contained nature of the subject matter. At my suggestion, they have blocked IP edits, greatly limiting the danger of further vandalism. I'll let you know of any notable developments which would benefit from your involvement. Thanks again --Adam (talk) 20:15, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Pokemon Wiki
Could you please add the Bulbapedia notice back? We have been having some problems, there.--Prmatt 21:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * If there are problems, you should report those to us using special:contact and the users responsible can be dealt with. There's no need to tell every reader about the copyright policy as it's already told to editors when they click on the edit button. Angela (talk) 23:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi, I'm a regular on the #wookieepedia channel in IRC (as "GrandMoffTranner"), and I was told that you could get me a wiki cloak. Could you please get me one? Also, I'm not exactly good with computers, so is there anything I would need to do to install/operate the cloak? Grand Moff Tranner 23:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ensure your nickname is setup according to these steps: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
 * After that sannse or Uberfuzzy can request your cloak from freenode staff. -- 23:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Please see Help:Wikia IRC channel cloaks as you need to sign that page to get a cloak. Angela (talk)

Delete a wiki
I have a question Can you delete this wiki Bionicle center I created it but actually it was a test for me and has no succes. You have my permission

 * How about redirecting it to Bionicle World instead? Angela (talk) 21:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Please Ban Me
I am a sockpuppet of the user Gyaos. Wait, I can explain. When I first came to Wikia, I thought for each wiki, you need a new account. So I created Gyaos and this account. Then, I figured out you only need one account. So, please BAN me and my sockpuppet account on all Wikia wikis. I apologize for the sockpuppetry. It'll never happen again.--Vampyrum Spectrum08 18:56, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It's ok to have 2 accounts (as long as you're not misusing them to vote twice or anything). What I could do though if you're sure you never want to use the name Vampyrum Spectrum08 again is to disable that account. That is not reversible though, so let me know if it's what you want. An easier way is just to change your password so you don't accidentally use the account again. Angela (talk) 21:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay. Nevermind about the ban thing.--Vampyrum Spectrum08 20:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Request
Hello Angela, please, remove my sysop access on admintools.wikia.com. Here is the confirmation. Thanks. Dferg 20:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, don't bother, seems that local crats can now desysop. Thanks anyway. Dferg 20:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Hello. Is it an article that you want to change or a user's name? For changing the title of a page, see Help:Moving pages. There is not currently a way to change a username - instead, you need to make a new username and make a note of that on your old userpage. Angela (talk) 03:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
