Die deutsche simpsons wiki ist zurzeit völlig leer ich würde, als admin, gerne viel freizeit investieren und sie richtig auf Vordermann bringen. Also fände ich es ganz nett wenn ich der admin wäre. Bobbby 18:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

RPG Wikia nach Sprachen aufspalten und umbauen - wie am besten?
Hallo Rieke, Wir haben uns ja schon mal über die RPG Wikia ausgetauscht. Was mich und BelniFore derzeit beschäftigt, ist wie wir die RPG Wikia, die wir derzeit verwalten, nach Sprachen aufspalten können und so umbauen, dass sie ein ein schönes Portal für Neuankömmlinge bietet und in weiterer Folge neue User und Projekte leichter integrieren kann. Wir haben uns schon ein bisschen was überlegt, hätten aber gern ein bisschen Support von einem, der sich mit MediaWiki gut auskennt. Ist es z.B. möglich, alle Seiten mit einer Kategorie X zu Sprache Y zuzuordnen? Und kann man auf einer Portalseite Zähler für Kategorien angeben (z.B.: Wir arbeiten gerade an 75 Artikeln in der Kategorie "Kampagnen")? Ich würde gern später mal ein paar Fragen im Chat oder per Skype klären. Gibt es Zeiten, wo du erreichbar bist? Viele Liebe Grüße und danke schon mal im Voraus! --KainNiemand 01:23, 9. Dez 2006 (UTC)
 * Hallo KainNiemand, momentan erreichst Du mich am besten nachmittags im Chat #wikia. Zur Verbesserung des RPG Wikias habe ich spontan schon einige Ideen . Zu den Kategorienzählern fällt mir gerade nicht ein, wie das gehen könnte, aber ich guck mich mal um. Viele Grüße --rieke 14:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hallo Rieke, gleich mal ein Dankeschön für deine Vorschläge - hab sie schon auf der RPG Wikia gesehen! Freue mich auf einen kleinen Gedankenaustausch im Chat - werde es am Freitag nachmittag mal probieren. Viele Grüße, --KainNiemand
 * Hallo KainNiemand, am Donnerstag hast Du mich knapp verpasst, an dem Freitag warst Du leider nicht im Chat. Probieren wir es also einfach erneut :-) --rieke 00:19, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Wiki offline?
Hallo Rieke, ich sehe, die Wikipedia gibts jetzt als DVD für den Offline-Gebrauch. Da soll auch eine Reader-Software dabei sein. Gibts eigentlich hier für die Wikis auch eine solche Offline-Möglichkeit?

== - on Genealogy and maybe elsewhere==

and the advantage of using is? Bill 03:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

simply is that it is the valid form in XHTML. Even if MediaWiki parses the outdated  (which is HTML) correctly, we don't know if this will be still the case in some years. So I'm used to replace it everywhere I note it (nearly half-automated, by the way). Nothing you should really care about, just a very very small improvement ;-) --rieke 00:19, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Log in - Problem
Hi, ich bins Teal’C, ich hab da ein Problem mit dem einloggen. Jedes Mal wenn ich versuche mich einzuloggen, kommt eine Fehlermeldung: „MediaWiki internal error. …“. So ganz schlau bin ich daraus nicht geworden, aber es soll ein Fehler mit der Datenbank sein, so weit ich verstanden habe. Unangemeldet kann ich noch arbeiten, aber wenn ich mich anmelde kommt der Fehler. Wäre schön wenn du mir irgendwie helfen könntest. --89.57.110.114 19:30, 24. Dec 2006 (UTC)

Gun Wiki
Rieke Hain, I need your help, I've become the second admin on Gunpedia, and it is getting better, but Jocke Pirat and I are in need of more users who know about the historical and technical aspects behind firearms, so, if you know anything about firearms, would you be willing to help out with it? He and I need more active users. 20:12, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Brain40, I'm sorry, but I don't know very much about firearms. Perhaps the tips on Forum:Attracting Contributors could be helpful for you? Good luck --rieke 01:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Could you please download Black_belt2B.jpg into wiki.png on the Kuk Sool Won wikia. Please. --Jimwitz 16:03, 27. Dec 2006 (UTC)

Know about changing the logo?
Hi, this is about the Golden Sun wiki where you had announced to User:Dracobolt that she was sysop and bureaucrat of the wiki a short while ago. We're trying to change the logo from the standard blue logo on the upper left to a custom image. Dracobolt had uploaded the file to replace the blue image whose filename was Wiki.png (see for the attempt), but it's still not displaying that new image for us on the wiki. Do you know how the logo can be changed, or are able to point us to the right place for instructions? It'd be hugely appreciated if we can get help. Thanks. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 23:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This is fixed now :-) --rieke 14:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Freeciv wiki logo
Hi Rieke!

I corrected the info page you created for. I'm not actually the author, and our whole wiki is licensed under the GPL rather than the GFDL. Thanks! --Hima 08:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Also - I almost forgot - the logo is in fact not final. We are trying out different designs from different authors right now. I'll let you know when we decided on the one to use permanently! --Hima 08:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I changed the info page in the English and German wikis, but I didn't have permission to do so in the French, Danish and Spanish ones. Could you give me sysop permissions there too, or update them for me? --Hima 13:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Hima, thanks a lot for the above information :-) I've set the rights for Vasc and you to sysop and bureaucrat on the non-English Freeciv wikis now. Cheers --rieke 14:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Dank & Scratchpad Frage
Danke für die fixe und nette Begrüssung! Ich habe tatsächlich bereits eine Frage bzw. Anregung bzw. Hilfsangebot: Ich bin innerhalb des Scratchpads auf das template {New wiki} gestossen, das ich extrem hilfreich fand. Leider ist das Ding in Englisch was für meine Studis (und vor allen Dingen für deren Schüler!) nicht akzeptabel ist und ich habe ein wenig herumübersetzt. Ist angedacht, dass Scratchpad etc. weiterzuführen und eine Übersetzung des Templates und des Tutorials gewollt uns sinnvoll, oder wird das Ganze Scratchpad mit OpenServing.com obsolet? Kurze Antwort reicht, Danke im voraus, Grüsse aus Hannover --Mdangers 14:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Übersetzungen sind natürlich willkommen und wären eine gute Hilfe :-) Durch openserving ändert sich nichts am MediaWiki-Hostingangebot von Wikia, das Scratchpadwiki ist davon also nicht berührt. Viele Grüße --rieke 14:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Rieke-Thanks so much for offering us the logo. It is not quite distinct enough for us to use. It is not apparent to a person unfamiliar with solar cookers what it is in the photo.

Dormitories/Studentenwohnheime in students.wikia.com
Hallo Rieke,

Im students.wikia.com-Wiki scheint es keinen zu geben der das Forum betreut und somit ich keine Antwort auf meine Frage bekommen. Als Wohnheimssprecher eines Studentenwohnheims suche ich einen Ort um ein von Bewohner für Bewohner geschriebene Webseite unterzubringen. Kann ich da dann auch einfach so reinplatzn, was meinst du?

--82.149.82.142 19:17, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hallo, guck mal ins Forum. Ich habe dort allgemein geantwortet, für den Fall, dass auch andere das lesen. Ideal wäre es, wenn Du zumindest eine allg. Basisseite für die Uni/FH in Form eines Miniwikis einrichtest. Die entsprechende URL wäre dann einfach merkbar (students.wikia.com/Uni_Soundso) und dort lassen sich dann viele weitere Seiten verlinken. Wie so ein Miniwiki genau aussieht, bleibt Dir überlassen. Ein ganz schlichtes Beispiel bietet Example University. Wenn Du mehr Links magst, dann kannst Du alternativ dazu die Vorlage verwenden und nicht Benötigtes im Nachhinein wieder entfernen. Probier's einfach aus. Wenn Du Hilfe z.B. bei der Struktur benötigst, melde Dich wieder bei mir. Viele Grüße --rieke 19:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

WarWiki
I noticed this Wikia wiki named WarWiki today. I checked around and it seemed pretty dead to me. Then I noticed this page and decided to come over and talk. So, the topic is not exatly the greatest (I'd prefer something like "history" or "world history", but that'd be awdully large topic), but I do know something about history and I'm intrested in it.

So, um...could I be made into an admin of WarWiki? I've been an active contributer to Star Wars Fanon Wikia, Prison Break Wikia, trying to start something at Harry Potter, made some edits at Finnish Wikipedia and also the owner and administrator of Gingapedia, a Finnish wiki about Ginga manga/anime series. So, I think I could be made as a sysop since I know something about the topic and I do know how to use MediaWiki. Is it possible? I saw that the "General Eisenhower" person has mysteriously disappeared and so has the another person...

And a big thanks for all your work at Star Wars Fanon! We appriciate that somebody always has time to block vandals and revert vandalism. :) --Jack Phoenix
 * done :-) Cheers --rieke 11:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Rieke. :) --Jack Phoenix

Theatre.wikia.com
Thank you for your note left in theatre.wikia.com

Yes, I would be interested in being an administrator, not for "theatre" but for "musical theatre", because my expertise and interest is limited to musical theatre. When I applied for a wikia group, I asked for "musical theatre", but was directed to "theatre", and told to start a category "musical theatre" under "theatre". I am happy for this to continue, although my preference is to have a separate site dedicated to "musical theatre". Would this be possible? Thank you, Music 15:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll discuss this with the others of the team and leave you a note then. Maybe Angela or Sannse know more about this :-) --rieke 01:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

So, dann stell ich ma die Frage hier auch nochma.^^ Hab bisher nur mal ein Wiki auf nem privaten Server bearbeitet, wo ich über FTP Zugang zu den Quelldateien hatte und somit in den Dateien monobook.css sowie LocalSettings.php rumpfuschen konnte und da das Design anpassen konnte.

 * Jau die Mail is angekommen. Muss ich die Vorlage auch drin lassen, sobald der Artikel verändert wurde, wie z.B. der Artikel ganz allgemein über Punk den ich jetzt genommen hab, weil ich da manche Sachen, die nich ganz richtig waren, schon geändert hab?
 * Und wo kann ich das Logo des Wikis ändern? Für gewöhnlich musste das ja in der LocalSettings.php passieren. --Luri 10:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Ich hab gesehen, dass du einen Beitrag beim Wiki gelöscht hast. Ist es möglich, dass ich gelöschte Dateien selber nochmal ankucken kann, weil mich interessieren würde, was da geschrieben wurde. --82.83.252.26 18:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

SVG images (on WarWiki)
Hi again, Rieke!

So, I've been trying to get things done (or at least started) on WarWiki. One of those this is uploading all those flag that are included in Template:World War II. All of the images excist on Wikimedia Commons under the same name (one image is an exception as it had a typo that I corrected). So, I uploaded the images Image:Flag of Brazil.svg and Image:Flag of El Salvador.svg from Commons to my computer and from my computer to WarWiki.

Well, for some reason, the coat of arms included in the El Salvador flag is of the image I uploaded to WarWiki, while it should be in the middle of the image as.

The Flag of Brazil has the text "ORDEM E PROGRESSO" in the middle of it. Some letters do not show in the version uploaded to WarWiki.

So, the question goes like this: Can you see those error in the flags or is it just me? I have a Windows XP, admin access on it, but this computer does not display SVG images (and I'm too lazy to configure it to do so).

And just as a side note: what are the techs gonna do to Google ads on the side? They're kinda nasty if you have a bigger image (like those flag on WarWiki) because they come to the top of the flag and thus make it a lot harder to see the real flag.

I hope that made some sense. :) --Jack Phoenix 16:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


 * hm, crazy image ;-) I don't have an easy solution for this problem. I was fiddling around with this image in different programs, but the image itself seems not to be broken (or I don't see how it is broken), but ... I will ask our tech team to have a look at it.
 * regarding the ads: They stick at the right for me, but the image overlaps them (as they should in such cases). Coming to the top might be an effect of some specific browsers. Which one are you using? --rieke 01:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

As far as I understand, this might just be my computer, since that flag you uploaded looks identical to the one I originally uploaded. I'm using Windows XP with Internet Explorer 7. I do have Firefox installed, but I'm very unfamiliar with it. But I'll try Firefox. :) --Jack Phoenix
 * I see the flag the same way you described it.
 * The browser question was just regarding the display of the ads. So thanks for your answer :-) I'll let you know when I have a closer idea about both issues. --rieke 13:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. I was in a sort of hurry reading that message, so...
 * Anyway, just to let you know, I tested WarWiki with Firefox. Still that El Salvador flag was showing up "incorrectly". Wonder why it shows up in Commons as it should have been and not in WarWiki...--Jack Phoenix 13:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * that's exactly what I'm wondering about, too. It looks as if you've found a bug *g* --rieke 13:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hikipedia
Well...now we're talking about a complicated matter. My message shortened: Is it possible to get administrator on Hikipedia, the Finnish Uncyclopedia?

And the long version:

Yes, I'd like to be an admin there. I saw on Hikipedia page that the project would be available for adoption, but it was reverted. Well, the fact is that:

1)it's a good idea (I enjoy reading en-Uncyclopedia myself)

2)it has no administration whatsoever. The project page, Hikipedia:Ylläpitäjät (Project:Administrators) contains the text: "Hikipedia has unfortunately no administration."

3)I'd like to adopt it and make it more serious, less joke

Probably the only reason the guys at active Hikipedia wanted to let this project live was the fact they wanted to mock it. Hiki.pedia.ws has a page called "Se toinen Hikipedia" (eng. That another Hikipedia) which makes fun of Wikia's Hikipedia. I would like to help this project in some ways I've helped Prison Break Wikia or SW Fanon; adding project pages, cleaning up vandalism and/or nonsense etc.

Uhh...now that did not make any sense. Or did it?

Another text sample from Hiki.pedia.ws page "That another Hikipedia": "The last resting place for your text might be that another Hikipedia.". As you see, they treat Wikia Hikipedia as a dump! Which makes me quite angry as it definitely has potential.

Yes, Carlb's Hikipedia a.k.a hiki.pedia.ws has almost everything (MediaWiki 1.9, active admins&users etc.) but it tends to lag, especially during weekends! That's not so nice.

And Finnish is my native language so that makes things a bit easier also. ;)

And finally one thing: (Hidden from Hiki.pedia.ws spies)

Let me know what you think. =)

School wiki
Hi, thank you very much for your email about the huntington/german wiki for my school. I followed your links to the student wiki page and followed the instructions for creating one. It told me to type in: Name of University. into the article and so I did and clicked on preview and it came up with what the page looked like (obviously, that is the point after all), but what it looked like wasn't really what I wanted. I don't think I made it clear enough in my original application, but all I basically want is a simple wiki for me, and the rest of the students at my school studying german, to share information hepful to our course. I don't really want/need all the stuff about campus (mainly because we don't have one)/food and daily life, we literally just need a portal to share information. Is that possible to do on Wikia, or do I need to find another server? Or is what I'm describing different to a wiki? Thanks for any help you can give me. Caroline
