Welcome
Hello, I am a community Manager here at Wikia. Please add new messages to the bottom, thanks :)

If you're looking for help, you can leave a message for me here or visit our help page. If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one!

Checkuser?
The wiki I run has frequently suffered attacks of vandalism. To prevent any vandals returning with different user names, I would like to gain checkuser status. Thank you for your time. --Swampert rox 21:04, April 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please contact us at Special:contact about this. Thanks, Sarah (talk 21:23, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to be a Burden
Hello. Listen you sort of skipped my adoption request. Its the Cure wiki one. Is there a problem or did you just miss it?-- 00:40, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * As I mentioned above, we will get to all requests. Thanks for the reminder, but it's best to just have patience as we work our way through the list. Best, Sarah (talk 21:26, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

How do I add namespaces?
Hi, you just made me admin/bureaucrat on The 4400 Wiki, I'd like to know how to add a namespace. The namespace I'd like to add is "Episode". Also, I'd like to remove the "Forum", "Video", and "Blog" namespaces. Is that possible? If you could do these for me, or if you could instruct me on how to do it, that would be appreciated. --Radster 04:20, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, its best to first read through our namespace help page, and then contact us at Special:Contact to get it added. Thanks, Sarah (talk 21:28, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Talkboxes
Hi, I'm Roxy13 from the Winx Club Wiki. Some of us recently started using talkboxes, and they work fine, but our talk pages are scooting farther and farther off to the side every time we use them. Do you know how to fix it? Or do you know someone who does? Any help would be much appreciated. Roxy13 - Dad, I'm a fairy! 12:45, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you give me an example? Do you mean the page is becoming too wide or long? I would also recommend posting this to the community forum. Best, Sarah (talk 19:49, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Would this be wrong?
Well i created a wiki narutotube.wikia.com (Naruto Tube) if i can't do this then delete the wikia because then it has no point of it am i allowed to record video's of other websites or download videos of other websites and then put the videos on my wikia? No is the answer you a probaly saying because that is copy writing, but what about if i give credit to the website like say go to this website and see more videos and type in the websites address of the site. Can i do that? From $A$UKE


 * You need to check with the license of the content you are adding, and whether it allows you to re-share it and if it will work with the license on Wikia. You can read more on our license help page. If it appears not to work, please contact us at Special:Contact. Best, --Sarah (talk 19:52, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I need asistance
Hello I'm an anonymous user who used to edit Wookieepedia (The Star Wars Wiki) and was blocked unjustly, but that's not the problem. My problem is this: While I was on the IRC chanel (#wookieepedia-social) an admin, Toprawa (user:Toprawa and Ralltiir on Wookieepedia) tolled me to suck his balls and then said: "I know where you live". He also said other things but that is the most disturbing. Naturally I feel theretend by his words. Is ther anything you can do? Just to let you know, so your not suprised if you do a backround chek, or something like that, on me: I have been accused before of vairious things and have had many unplesant exchanges with other wikia personel, like Sansay for one.(did I spell that right?) I would greatly arpriciate any help. However, I wish to maintain as much anonymity as posible so please be discreat. I am an admin on The Random-Knowledge wiki (user:General Kenobe) so please direct your responce to my user talk their. Thank you.

Please forgive me for not signing.


 * Hello, we have not control over the IRC channels, and only monitor content that is written here on Wikia. If something like this occured here it is best to email us directly at Special:Contact. We can only recommend to not participate in that IRC channel if you feel it is a hostile environment for you. Best, Sarah (talk 20:44, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Wolfenstein_Wiki
Hello there. I put in a request to adopt the wolfenstein wiki and it was put on hold. The user who I believe was reviewing my request has not been on since the 28 of April (DaNASCAT). The wiki is now under going some vandalism and I am requesting at least admin rights to block the user and to delete the offensive files he/she is uploading. Thanks. --Kingclyde 23:14, May 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have given you the rights there (you can see on the adoption page). Enjoy, Sarah (talk 19:59, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

How to make people wikis
How do you make other people admins on wikis.HazeShot 05:31, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * You need to visit Special:UserRights on your wiki, enter the user's name and then check the box for admin. You can only do this if you are a bureaucrat. You can read through the Admin how to guide to learn more. Best of luck, Sarah (talk 18:00, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi I am drago99 the founder of the Golden Retriever Wiki

I am wondering on a how to create an about page and some templates.

Drago99 All work and no play makes drago a dull boy!! 01:23, May 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, you should read through out help pages on creating articles and are using templates. You may also want to post questions on our community forum, where lots of users participate. Best, Sarah (talk 17:23, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Toolbar
Hey, I have the wikia Lærkevej and I will ask you how I update the toolbar? Mesmermann 13:38, May 16, 2010 (UTC)




 * Is this showing up on your wiki or on other spots on Wikia? Since this is a Danish wiki, it appears the Rich Text Editor is not enabled because it's not translated yet. I can enable it for you, but it will appear in English. Just let me know here or at Special:contact. Best, Sarah (talk 17:20, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I would very much like that. Mesmermann 19:43, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have enabled the new editor for wiki. Happy editing, Sarah (talk 18:20, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Admin-Only Forum
Hello, Sarah. This question/suggestion might not belong here, but I hope you will give me an answer.

I am an Admin at the Ed, Edd n Eddy Wiki, and I was thinking that it would be nice to have a special forum that would only be visible by Admins. This way, Admins could discuss problems, troublesome editors, and other things that they don't necessarily want everyone else to see. Do you think this is a good idea? If so, is it possible to add it to the EEnE Wiki and maybe all Wikis? I think it might be helpful for Admins of all the communities. Let me know what you think! --Kirkland22 02:46, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, thanks for the idea. I think it could be helpful, but we don't offer that at this time. I will share your feedback though with the rest of the team! Thanks for all you rwork on Wikia, Sarah (talk 18:24, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

You're quite welcome! Thanks for sharing it with the rest of the staff! And it's just a suggestion, after all, if you feel that it's not necessary or won't be needed, then you don't have to create something like it. Of course, I think a lot of Wikis could benefit from it, especially the Admins. Thanks again, glad to have the opportunity to edit on Wikia. =] --Kirkland22 19:59, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Spongebob Fanon Wiki IRC
Can you please add the Spongebob Fanon Wiki IRC (#spongebob-fanon) to the IRC gateway, please. Bigman602, The Cool Guy 21:05, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately right now, we're not adding any additional channel to that list while we decide the future and design of that page. If you have a page on your wiki about IRC (like a place where you would be linking to irc.wikia.com),I can setup a direct login box on your wiki, so your users can go right into your IRC channel from your wiki. Best, Sarah (talk 18:26, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

WordGirl Wiki
Hi, Sarah, it's me Anakiniman. I asked you if I could adopt Wordgirl Wiki on the Adoption requests page and you told me to check with Loli-Wordgirl1, the most active user of Wordgirl Wiki. So I asked her, telling her the thing you told me about it would be best if we were both admins. She said yes on my talk page. I responded on the adoption requests page and you haven't replied yet on there. Please do. And please ignore the message about Loli-Wordgirl1 not responding; that is old. And since there is no active bureaucrat, please make us both bureaucrats.—Anakiniman 14:10, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I gave you both the rights. Enjoy, Sarah (talk 19:07, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Edits of Jeff G.
Sarah,

Hi, and thank you for your kind words in this and your other edits to Community Central:Adoption requests earlier today. Do you have a particular tool for finding which wikis a user has edited most? I know Wikimedia has three working ones (Luxo's contributions tool (GNU GPL), Pathoschild's Stalk toy (CC-BY 3.0), and Vvv's SUL utility (probably some open source license)). I would be happy to help more with the adoption requests.

Enjoy the rest of your day! — Jeff G. ツ 20:52, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Jeff, we do have a tool called Lookup Contribs, but its reserved for staff and helpers. Keep up the good work, its really helpful! Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:33, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Deception? Naruto is perceptive not deceptive
In the main naruto ... it has a heading DECEPTION... I'm pretty sure the word they want is PERCEPTION..

Carpenter83 02:07, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the message, but I am not familar with that wiki. It best to contact the local users there. Best of luck, Sarah (talk 21:12, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Deception ? Perception? Probably the best word is MISDIRECTION
Naruto is skillful at MISDIRECTION... much better word I think

http://wicca.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page (Re-added to Adoption requests page)
It's not the place for regular to erase requests. The Wicca request was erased. Please make sure other wikia adoption requests were not erased. Note: this doesn't mean I agree with the request, but I feel its the Wikia helpers place to determine that. Devilmanozzy (Talk Page)  03:54, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Apparently there is more to this than meets the eye. Please go to the Wicca wiki and check out the edits by Gybrikkyus Sal. He seems to be a vandal which now Jeff and I have undone his edits. Seems there is a attack underway here. Please address these issues. Thanks! Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  04:23, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. Fortunately, he was kind enough to make his posts members of a particular category. I would like to join Devilmanozzy in asking to adopt this wiki.  — Jeff G. ツ 05:30, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you both interested in this topic or just deleting the spam there? If there are no other active users, besides you both and the vandal, then it may be best close it. If you are interested, I am happy to give you the rights. Also, please remember, we have an adoption page! As listed above, reposting here only takes longer for me to reply, since I need to go to both places. Thanks, Sarah (talk 22:26, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

CCC wiki
Copied from Community Central:Adoption requests
 * I'd rather not edit as I don't care for the topic. I'd rather change this one as it was only used once to apparently host a report. I want it just for the address ccc.wikia.com as clackamascommunitycollege.wikia.com will most likely fail as a wiki because of its very long address. If it the work involved with changing it I am not worried and am prepared to make all the changes. I think this will be a much better to change that wiki rather than it just take up server space and take a address that is easy to remember. Please reconsider. Thank you. --Evil1888 06:16, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Can you please reconsider, I don't want to create a wiki that will just fail and waste time and increase server load. Thank you. -Evil1888 06:36, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, its best to just start a new wiki with a new name, since it will be on a completely different topic. Why don't you use ClackamasCollege.wikia.com? That way users will know exactly what the wiki is all about! Best, Sarah (talk 23:10, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother
Hello, and I would like to know how to change the theme for Kuroshitsuji Wiki. :) It'll be nice if I can change the colors, to be matched with me new logo design. :) -- Red-yellow-striped-apple!! It's me. 04:43, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, you can learn about customizing your wiki skin on our help pages here: Help:Beyond_the_basics. It also has information about formatting, administration and much more. Remember, you can always post questions to the forum as well! Sarah (talk 23:14, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Picture
I have made a template in Lærkevej and I can't add a picture. I have uploaded it. Help me, please Mesmermann 13:06, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Mesmermann, Sarah asked me to take a look at this for you. What is happening is two things: First, in your template, you were making the image parameter be called instead of the equivalent in da. Also, when you are invoking a template, do not link the file like This.jpg but simply use This.jpg because of how the template was written (it already adds in the links). Hope this helps! --daNASCAT  23:56, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey daNASCAT, thank you for that. I have a problem with a template. Mesmermann 20:41, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey daNASCAT, thank you for that. I have a problem with a template. Mesmermann 20:41, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Problem at Ice Age wiki
There's this new editor at ice age wiki that has been blanking pages for no reason. I've requested that Karlamon9 blocks him indefintely. I reporting him to you, so maybe he learns his lesson. His user name is GODKING OF ICE CERBERUS WERE-GARURUMON. --ScratteLover2 00:04, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no real point of reporting this here. Its just a vandal. All you need to do is block them.  Manyman  Talk  10:18, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like they got blocked by SNA. Best, Sarah (talk 23:55, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Backgrounds
How do you edit/make a custom wikia background/theme?

do you need to be an admin?


 * If you want all visitors to your wiki to see the skin, then yes, you need to be an admin. You can control your personal preference across Wikia in your preferences. To learn how, its best to first read through our help pages. Then let me know what questions you have, or post to the forum. Best, Sarah (talk 00:07, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

DR Wiki Bureaucrats
I don't know if this question fits here, but I'm asking in hopes for an answer.

On the Dead Rising Wiki, there is one particular user who I think does not deserve his bureaucrat rights. His user name is Wikiar, and some of the regular users with no special rights have more edits and are better community members than he is. So what I'm asking is that you demote his rights, as he rarely edits once a month. I really have nothing personal against him, but I do not think someone who hardly ever edits deserves to have special priveliges. I messaged him on his talk page addressing this matter, and got no response. I messaged him about two weeks ago. If you can't do this for whatever reason, please respond.


 * Thank you very much,


 * Frank-West 18:21, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you spoken to other users aboout this? Its best to start a community discussion, and if there is concensus, then I can remove his rights. He may just need a friendly reminder and encouragement to become active again. I recommend doing that as well, then let me know here. Best of luck, Sarah (talk 00:11, May 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I have spoken to a few other users, and they agree that he should at least edit more. I actually heard back from him today, and he said: "Back off. It isn't easy watching a barely active wiki where barely any edits are made. I actually checked in periodaclly to clear out vandals and bad pages."
 * I didn't ask him in a rude way, and this response strikes me as slightly rude. Also this is untrue, as we have few vandal problems and and plenty of edits being made. The wiki is also quite active since me and some other users arrived, and it was a wreck before we were there. If I still have to start a discussion then I will, but I think that this at least gives you a little insight to it.
 * Thank you very much,


 * Frank-West 18:16, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! What happened to all the Ben 10 stuff and my main man Yuidirnt (or somethin like that) and my other main man linkdarkside? And why does it say i only have 1 edit instead of 40 like i had 2 days ago? Whats with all the newness? --Kevinlevin13 21:18, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not sure about that user, you need to check with him on that wiki. As for your contributions there, they seem to be just right. Currently it says you have 49 edits. Enjoy, Sarah (talk 00:13, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Corrections
I need to change my Wiki's domain

My Wiki's name = pt.wikinaruto My new Wiki's name = pt.narutopedia or pt.narutopediabrasil

Thanks! =)


 * Hello, which one would you like? It looks like pt.wiknaruto and pt. narutopedia are already the same. Remember, its best to sign all of your messages so I know who is contacting me. You can also email us at Special:contact about changes like this to your wiki. Best, Sarah (talk 16:55, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

community versus academia
For a moment there I thought the articles index on my academia user page had been eradicated.

Your blog mentioned food and bicycling.

My conclusion is that while some exercise is necessary and beneficial weight control is dependent upon not over eating.

To this end I have begun creating meals from combinations of user chosen food products that conform to diet plans derived from existing and desired user body measurements submitted at http://e1.ij.net/eberhart/

You may be interested in helping to expand the list of available food products at http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_food_products from which users can select.

Are there any places in San Francisco that would welcome and accommodate a health smoothie bar and bicycle traffic, preferably near Berkley?


 * Hello, Thanks for the message, you may want to to the users on that wiki to ask for help, or check out our other wikis. We now have a healthy food recipes wiki. That might be a good place for you to get involved. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:39, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Achievements
I had some questions related to the forthcoming Achievements tool from your recent blog. Is there a list of attainable achievements anywhere, and will admins be able to create custom ones for their wikia?  Hooper  talk    contribs    email   23:11, May 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, yes they will be able to be customized. You can see them in action now at the Glee Wiki, Iron Man Wiki and Red Dead Wiki. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:50, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Wrong category
Hello, Sarah. I am a bureaucrat and creator http://ru.jackass.wikia.com. According to my mistake, this wiki is in the wrong category of "humor". But its content assumes the category of "entertaiment". Is it possible to change the category? If yes, how?

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks. Black Label 18:51, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
