http://call-of-duty.wikia.com/wiki/Callofduty_Wiki

This is no more than a spam wiki, hasn't been edited in months, and does not have any hope of being adopted due to the existence of the original Call of Duty Wiki. Thanks! --Callofduty4 (Talk) 15:56, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sigmastorm2 Wiki Updates
Hi Uberfuzzy,

It looks like there were a couple of problems reported on the wiki that you closed but did not actually update the page in question. Is that because they were old and hadn't been addressed yet? I know I don't always remember to check this when I'm on the wiki but can put it on my home page so that I remember.

Coppa Violations on the CPW


One person confessing about two people. Usernames are Unknown4 and Russian One, but Russian One is turning 13 tomorrow. I doubt anything needs to be done to her. -- 07:23, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

They have no proof I'm a COPPA violater. I never said I was. So they don't have proof. -- Unknown4  Talk  07:43, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * a) IRC is not proof. Anyone can be anyone, and say anything. I'll go get on right now and say I'm 70 years old, and also I'm a dog.
 * b) Issues of any sort that regard breaking the TOU should be reported privately, to our support channel, via Special:Contact or community@wikia.com, NOT via a public talk page. It only breeds drama, and we cannot respond on the matters in such a way. --Uberfuzzy 07:48, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

AWB problems
When wikia's servers were catching up (I believe it was on Wednesday), Auto-wiki browser started to encounter some problems. I did everything I could to troubleshoot it myself (resetting my settings, closing/restarting/logging out) and I figured it was just something that would work itself out after a while. I asked around and found that other people were experiencing the same problems, and made a forum thread to see if I could get any help. I asked in the #autowikibrowser IRC channel and they said problems are only being reported with wikia. I was told that it sounded like an "api" problem and that you were the person to talk to about that. It's not urgent, but if you could look into it whenever you get a chance, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance, 19:01, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Blocking users from my wiki.
Hi. I recently started up a wiki, World's Scariest Police Chases Wiki. I was wondering before vandalism started. I noticed WoWWiki had this, the ability to block users. Is there a way to do that?-WoWDeathknight 00:23, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Rich Text Editor
Hello.

I have just adopted this wiki: pt.saintseiya.wikia.com (which, by the way, you created the main page). The thing is: I'd like to request the RTE, because editing that wiki is really hard without it (it's like editing wikipedia). I don't know whether you are the person responsible for it or not. If you're not, I apologize. Thank you/Obrigado. Cdeitz 17:01, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Make The New Wiki Style Optional
Pikipedia (pikmin.wikia.com) has a neat and orderly style, skin, and community. The content areas are organized and although it doesn't have a large number of templates, it has all it needs. The skin is simple, but has lots of minor details that the head admin added on that most people wouldn't notice. I really hope this new style is optional, because if it isn't:

1. Pikipedia and many other wikis will drastically change and fall while larger communities that match the style thrive.

2. All of Greenpickle's hard work on both the Pikipedia's skin and the Kirby wiki skin (which he is just finishing up right now) is now down the toilet. Admins on other wikis will also watch their hard work disintegrate.

3. Though in the eyes of the staff, all wikis should be shared and brought together in one big community, this is not true. The smaller wikis will lose many a user and viewer from this feature. Ask around on people's talk pages, you'll find that 99% of users oppose inter-wiki "transport", as, though the staff belong to all wikis, and it would certainly help them, most users go to one or two wikis and stay there. Again, ask around, this one I'm certain will be opposed.

4. This new style has an extremely similar style to blogs or social networking sites. It has a news post box, has quick connection between wikis that users belong to that are like "groups" and it has a date display. Plus the bottom "tool" menu milks out items that only new users use. While this would be great on wikis with between 75 and 150 users, it would act a lot like facebook for some of the larger wikis and would be utterly pointless on smaller wikis where all of the active users know each other. A facebook-like style would most certainly thrive at community central, where the staff all have facebook style avatars (the icons, not the movies), but on other wikis it may not work out so well.

5. Several users dislike the new skin, more dislike it than like it (see the full history of the new style's blog.

6. Users who wanted to implement the new style on wikis would be fine with waiting while you implemented plans to make this style optional. If you don't wait, and you force it up right now and add the option later, many good, helpful users will leave wikia forever or for a long period of time, while other user who are not interested in contributing, but rather, just in the social networking "community" will join and post only on pages like user talk, and, if there are achievements on that wiki, will make hollow edits to boost their "social status".

7. If the staff wants to really get what wikia is all about to most people (the actual users), then, instead of checking input blogs, go and join a large wiki (like wookiepedia-starwars.wikia.com), a small wiki (like pikipedia-pikmin.wikia.com), and a new wiki (like the Spectrobes Fanon Wiki-spectrobesfanon.wikia.com). Contribute and add to the pages as best as you can, even minor edits help! And once you have been part of each type of community you will realize that each has separate needs and that the new style will work for medium/larger wikis, but not other wikis.

8. In my opinion there should not be "updates" which change things, like this new skin, but "features" which give the users of each wiki the option to go with it. The true key to success with the users of the wikia community is to allow them to customize, even with small things. Rather than bringing all wikis together, this will help keep them individual, unique, special, it will help them focus and match the subject. Maybe the best thing you could do is make several new styles and make them all optional, and maybe bring back old styles, like Monobook, as an option. Either way, most certainly keep Monaco, this style has worked great for the majority of wiki communities. Look at other wiki sites, like Wikipedia and wikispaces. They allow customization even for individual users! If one doesn't like the new style on Wikipedia, they don't have to complain! They just go to their preferences and change the style back to Monobook! If all new features were optional, angry comments would drop down to an all-time low. Only compliments from users who will use on their wikis will appear, as users who disliked the style would just not implement it on their wiki. This blog would be several pages shorter. Everyone would love the staff.
