spotlight potential
I hope in the future spotlight can smartly suggest wikis that might be interesting to users, based on user's past browsing history. Currently it only shows a certain fixed group of wikis, which makes them look like ads. Please make it a web 2.0 feature!Reasno 杰诺斯·史林特 03:00, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Half-Life Wiki
Hey. I'm requesting a Revamp, or I suppose design change for the half-life wiki. Since the fork, (I'm sure you know, the wiki forked a while back) The main page has basically stayed the same, It needs to be reworked, so well you guys are at it, you may as well make a nice change. Only thing i ask is you don't change the pages from white, and you don't make pages transparent. (In my opinion it just dampens the appeal and makes it look less professional) Let me know on my talk or however this works. Danke. (Pardon the grammar, It's like 8:24 AM here and i haven't slept :P )


 * Hi KATANAGOD. Half-Life Wiki is in great shape, so added it to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  23:27, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Hi
Hello, I am the administrator and founder of Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville Wiki, and I wondered if you guys could help make it look more better, I've done alot of work on it, with some help from unredgistered user (who commonly work on some of the pages). It doesn't have much users, but I done a good job working on it, all I really need is a good background and home page. Do you think, you could be able to help? best regards Niko Banks 19:08, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Niko. In order to be approved, please put these few uncategorized pages into an appropriate category. Also, three of those pages have no content. After you've taken care of that, make a reply here to let me know, and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the list.

 * Hi SonicDude. In order to be approved, the wiki will need to meet the best practices requirements, most notably having 50 pages and no uncategorized pages. Once the wiki reaches that level, come back and make a reply here, and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the list.

House of Anubis By Bryce Wikia
This Wikia has 145+ Pages and could use some sprucing up and more pages. Thanks. I am a b'crat there WCDD oherty   19:18, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi WCDDoherty. At the wiki you linked to, you only have one edit, so I assume you meant to link here. In order for your request to be approved, the wiki will need to meet the best practices criteria. So you'll need to decrease the number of stubs (pages with less than 200 bytes listed at Special:ShortPages) to 30 or less. There are also a lot of uncategorized pages (Special:UncategorizedPages) that need to be put into at least one category. Once that has been done, come back and make a reply to let me know, and I'll add the wiki to the approved list.

If you could please neaten it up a bit, add some categories like Fan-Made puppet videos, Featured Puppet, Featured Play and Featured User that would be great.

I know this is alot, but thank you.
 * Hi Live-Action88. In order for your request to be approved, the wiki will need to meet the best practices criteria, most notably the parts about total pages (at least 50), stubs/short pages (20% or less), and uncategorized pages.

http://duelmasters.wikia.com/wiki/
While its "sister-wiki" will also need some design in the future, its small for another month or so...

...and since the Duel Masters wiki has always need a decent homepage, any help for a revamp would be nice. The current background is generally perfect for its theme already, but the wiki has also looked the same for 2-3 years now, and could do with a snazzy new look. :)

I have a list of links on the talkpage for the mainpage that I would like to include, but a few versions I've played with have just made it look messy.

Looking forward to a response. Yami Michael 13:19, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

The South of Nowhere Wiki needs some sprucing up.

Gran Turismo Wiki
Hi guys,

This is just a simple request for a couple of color changes; not really a full site redesign. The first styling change that I'd like to have done is to recolor the new messages box for the Wall feature. It used to be that the border was completely black with the subject line and the text area for the body of the message in #090909 gray; however, a couple of days ago I decided to change the colors for buttons in order to have them show up better, and this somehow changed the color of the new messages box as well. I'd like it to be restored to the way it was prior to the change, as well as the user info box at the top of a user's "User:" and "User talk:" pages, which used to have a gray to black gradient at the top.

That leads me to my next request: Since I changed the button colors, the "Start a new wiki" button in the header blends in with the rest of the header. If possible, I would like that button to be turned black so that it will stand out.

Does the wiki qualify?
The requester should be either an admin, or link to a discussion with an admin of the wiki and agreeing to skin design and homepage help.

I am the founding administrator of the wiki.

The wiki should have at least one active admin, meaning he or she has made at least one edit in the last 7 days.

It has two active admins: myself and MTracey1.

'''The wiki should have at least 50 content pages. Stubs (pages listed at Special:ShortPages that are less than 200 bytes) should make up no more than 1/5th (20%) of all pages on the wiki.'''

Right now, we are the largest racing game wiki on Wikia, with 2,445 content pages as of this writing. Of those, only 37 are under 200 bytes.

'''The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category. (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty.)'''

I just got through categorizing the seven pages which were previously uncategorized; it may take a minute or two for Special:UncategorizedPages to update, however.

'''The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals. It should be a stable, friendly place.'''

The wiki is currently calm.

The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by the admin(s) (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin).

Our wiki uses the Welcome tool, and it's set to @sysop.

The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.

We have strict rules against bad language and anything offensive at all.

Hi! I'm an admin of The Secret Circle Wiki. While I was making something new for the Wiki's main page, some problems came up and I can't solve them. For example, the category bar at the end of the page remains in the right column, and this is the only Wiki I can see with this problem. Another thing is that I would like to link the other Wikis for the Secret Circle which have another language (e.g. French Secret Circle Wiki). And at last, the template 'Blogs' doesn't work. Or at least, it doesn't show up. And I've tried to look on other wikis the source code they were using and pasted it, but nothing changes. I have no idea how to correct these issues.

For help with content creation and/or organization, your wiki must follow these best practices: Do you need to meet the guidelines above them if not could we have that? <span style="background-color:#ffff00; color:Black; border-top-left-radius:1ex; border-bottom-left-radius:1ex; -moz-border-radius-topleft:1ex; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:1ex;"> Original <span style="background-color:#ffd700; color:#b22222; border-top-left-radius:1ex; border-bottom-left-radius:1ex; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:1ex; -moz-border-radius-topleft:1ex;"> Authority    ♪  <span style="background-color:#ffd700; color:Pinl; border-top-right-radius:1ex; border-bottom-right-radius:1ex; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:1ex; -moz-border-radius-topright:1ex;">  email
 * The requester should be either an admin, or link to a discussion with an admin of the wiki and agreeing to skin design and homepage help.
 * The wiki should have at least one active admin, meaning he or she has made at least one edit in the last 7 days.
 * The wiki should have at least 50 content pages.
 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals. It should be a stable, friendly place.
 * The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by the admin(s) (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin).
 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.


 * Hi Original Authority. As you noticed, there are two separate sets of best practices - one for design help and one for content creation/organization help. The criteria for content help is a little lower (fewer requirements) than for design help. So if an admin only wants help with content, the wiki only needs to meet that second set of best practices.


 * On Special:ShortPages, it lists all pages on the wiki, in the order of shortest to longest. (Notice the numbers to the right, listed in bytes.) So it's normal to see all pages there. As far as the "stubs" requirement goes, I generally define a stub as a page that is shorter than 200 bytes. So as long as the number of pages on a wiki that are less than 200 bytes is equal to or less than 20% of the total number of pages, it meets that requirement. Nikita Wiki only has 4 "stubs," which is far less than 20% of its 120 total pages. (Fun fact: Special:LongPages lists all pages on the wiki too, but in order of longest to shortest.)


 * Anyway, Nikita Wiki is in good shape, so I added it to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  18:31, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

New colour scheme for Orcs Must Die! Wiki
Hello, I am an administrator on Orcs Must Die! Wiki. With the release of OMD!2 coming up next month, I want the wiki to have an attractive new look to get a good start. While I can work with CSS, I am more of a tech-guy than a designer. Right now I am having issues with choosing proper colours and creating a nice fitting background image. I wanted to give the wiki a better relation to OMD! by using some darker colours that fit in the style of the game.

Purple is introduced with OMD!2, as this resembles the addition of the new character The Sorceress. I think using these references might give the wiki some closer bonds with part 2 of the game, but I have no good combining skills to make such changes work out.

At this time I fear there are not enough images released by Robot Entertainment to construct a nice background. All official released community material can be found at http://assets.robotentertainment.com/Orcs-Must-Die-2/. On the bright side, I have access to very large background images from OMD!1 (1920x1200 px background images from the game files) and all carousel images found at the official OMD! website.

Right now all infobox templates used have their colour schemes hard-coded because I did not have administrator access at the time I made all infoboxes. I am planning on rewriting them to made use of CSS classes. On the bright side, not many infoboxes are used right now so this won't be much work when I have to adapt them to the new colour scheme.

I took the liberty of going through some randomly picked recently completed community design team designs. The background image in .WikiaPageBackground used on TESFanon was something I liked. How well would something combine with OMD!Wiki?

At last I have a question about spotlights. What would be the best time to request a spotlight? Would it be best to sync it with the release of the game (July 30) or by waiting some time for the wiki to get some actual content on OMD!2? I could use some extra editors because I am pretty much on my own (with the occasional help of a friend). At the same time I won't want to scare new users away with a wiki that has not much content. I think I will be able to get a lot of content up in a very short amount of time. When there is not much changed to the structure of the game files, I will be able to read them as easily as with OMD!1. ~ Flightmare 13:05, June 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Flightmare. The wiki is in great shape, so I added Orcs Must Die! Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  17:57, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Bloons Wiki
Hey Community Development Team, Anomalous13 here. I am one of the two bureaucrats of the Bloons Wiki, along with Spike144. Our wiki is starting to get in better shape. The community is growing, we've just had a successful adoption request, and the content is growing, which is good. The main issue we have at the moment is the main page, it looks terrible! Is there any way that you guys can assist us in improve the appearance? Also, the logo could use a little work as well. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys can help in any way!

Spike and I, along with other members of the community, have discussed this and I have their consent about this request, if you were wondering. I've went over the requirements for a request and all is good. :P

Thanks! -- Anomalous13 13:08, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
