Starting New Wikis
Hey Catherine. How long does it take for a request for a wiki open request to get evaluated and approved/closed? Thanks! Mazzara 19:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

User Abilities
Hi Catherine! Just wondering, how would I be able to promote a user? For instance, if I want to grant another user Administration abilities, how would I do that? Thanks! Aeods 08:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Need help with logo and favicon
If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate help making a wide logo, a regular logo, and a favicon. I have no idea how I can make the logos and the favicon so that it doesn't look terrible, you know? If you can do it, I would totally appreciate it! —Ellia • Talk to me • Please sign! 01:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Feature request
I was just told to ask you in regards to a feature request for Wookieepedia. Rather, a feature removal request.

[10:05]  Question for the group: Who do I ask to get a feature turned off? [10:11]  Short answer, staff. Longer answer requires which feature. [10:12]  Tagging. We decided months ago to have it turned off but nobody has ever asked Wikia to do so. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Mofferences/Log/2007_September_9 [10:12]  message Catherine on wikia central [10:13]  http://wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:CatherineMunro

Anyway, as indicated by the chat log, we decided to have image tagging turned off back at our last IRC conference (toward the bottom, around 3:34) but nobody ever made any move toward actually doing it. We decided to replace both tagging and galleries with categories like Memory Alpha. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

ru starter and i18n
ru.starter.wikia.com is ready. Please rename namespace "Forum" to "Форум" on new wikis and if possible on existing. And I want to translate all interface to russian, may you give me sysop rights on internationalization wikia for this --exlex 00:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Active Users?
How many edits do you have to do to be an 'active' user?Ryoung122 07:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I meant just edits on the 'Gerontology Wiki'. I note other users (Ben Meyers, Statistician, and myself) but we see only 1 'active user' listed. Also, I corrected the spelling of 'gerontology' on the main page but it's not showing up?Ryoung122 07:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Syntax highlighting
Hello! Thanks for creating the Borland Pascal Wiki! But before it can start it needs syntax highlighting. An extension for this is avalabile at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. Could you implement this extension into my wiki? Thank you anticipated, PetruD mesaj  15:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The Jag Base
I am wondering, is it possible to get a quick move of Wikipedia's templates, over to my new wikia, The Jag Base ( http://jag.wikia.com )

Otherwise this will require hours of work transferring over the required templates, that have other templates inbedded in them and so on and so forth.

Wallace and Gromit Wiki
Thank you for setting up the Wallace and Gromit Wiki, I am very excited to get going on the project however when I try to save any edits or start any pages I get an error saying: Wikia Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "efUpdateCheckUserData". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wallaceandgromit.cu_changes' doesn't exist (216.151.156.9)". What's the problem? And what can be done so I can start working on the wiki? Thanks.

Login problems
Catherine- Thanks for allowing me to join.

Biggest question/problem I have is continually having to re-log in inorder to do almost anything. Each new screen thinks I'm not logged in.

On new MacBook OS X 10.5 using FireFox or Safari I keep having to login. During edit process, upload a photo, trying to email you, trying to join help chat. Often times I'm in an endless loop spending literally hours trying to move forward.

Yes I have cookies on in both browsers. I'm blocking popup's but allowing all cookies (and have many) from Wikia. I must be missing that one clue/checkbox that would allow me to move forward with dexterity.

Also I get this error when I try to join the Wikia Help chat "Communication socket already exists" Thanks appreciate contact thru email as I can barely get around Wikia resources without getting caught in login loops.

Do you know whats wrong with it?

Yahoo map extension
Hi Catherine! I want to ask you to add a Yahoo map extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:YahooMaps) for http://bucuresti.wikia.com

We need this extension because we have articles for streets and we hope that maps will bring us more contributors. Thank you and have a nice day, --Adela 09:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Extension request for the Critical Mass Wikia
Hi Catherine, I have asked for a extension in the Help Forum but I don't know if this was the right place for such a request. So I would like to try it now here. Is it possible to get the GoogleMaps Extension installed on the Critcial Mass Wikia? I'm only a user there but I think it would be a nice feature because of the many city pages in this wiki. Thanks and best wishes, --Diamant talk 18:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I would have blocked User:Beano64 for longer than 3 days. Did you look at the long list of offensive edits?

The boy scout image issue
Hi Catherine, we have settled the debate on our wiki by introducing a new image policy and deleting all images that violated the new policy. Is it okay for you if we now remove the lock on ? Spankart 17:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Rename Wiki?
I started the Two Pints Wiki about a week ago, and I really want to rename it. It is currently called "Two Pints and Grownups Wiki" but the Grownups part is too different to Two Pints. Would it be possible to rename it to just "Two Pints Wiki"? --Twopintsfan 09:55, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Requesting wikis
My request for a Jade Cocoon wiki was rejected... by you... "for now"... so I was just gonna wait for a while before speaking up, but there's *another* wiki I'd like to request too... (rofl) so I must know: how long is "for now"? You see, I recently started watching my collection of Blakes 7, and realized it didn't have a wiki... yeah. ^_^ Kthx!

Prince of Persia Wiki administratorship
Hi, I have a request. I would like to ask if I can be an administrator of the Prince of Persia Wiki. The current admin seems inactive, that's why I'm asking you. I have quite a big experience with wikis, I have been on WoWWiki for about an year and I'm also interested in the Prince of Persia universe. I've started editing the wiki already and if I become an administrator, I'll try to promote it so it becomes more famous. Thanks for the attention.Dakovski 13:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. :)  — Catherine (talk) 20:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much :DDakovski 20:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Starter wiki
I was working on the new Blakes 7 Wiki, and I got around to some of the articles shoved there from starter, and I noticed a couple things. Firstly, c:starter:Help:Starting this wiki needs some links fixed... in section 2, the muppet, bioshock, and lost links all need a w: before them to work. Secondly, everyone I've spoken with on the subject seems to prefer this kind of front page to this kind, and I've used that main page on several wikis (Pfhorpedia, the Military wiki, Code-Snippets, Blakes 7, probably a few others) and they all love it, so you might want to think about changing it... or something. /me goes to edit Blakes 7 Wiki some moar  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  03:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * !bAH, no, they've got a w: before them... they need a c: after the w: before the rest of them. >_<  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  21:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Question
Why there is no page for http://fa.wikia.com here at central wikia.--BlueDevil Talk 01:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC) There should be the link to Persian(Farsi) Wikia here --BlueDevil Talk 01:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It.Soggettopedia
Catherine, you told me that it will be difficult to keep this wikia active, and that nobody will participate. But, like I told in my request, we already are a group of people, that will increase as the time goes on (we will talk about this with our friends). Moreover, we have in mind 20 and more pages that should be done, and completed in some time. I also saw that there are a lot of wikias with only 2 pages or only 2 users, so I think that we should have a chance with our work, because the number of people and pages concerned will be higher than 2... The number of users (participants) and the contents in our project won't be a problem... Of course, the original tone of friendly humour will be mantained, and if it isn't, we will try to make the article again, in a better way... --Ace91 17:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Referral Orders wikia
Hi, I'm slowly blundering my way aroung this site and mistakenly left a query on my userpage.ie "I didn't register your message in my brain cells with the hullaballoo at Wikipedia, but RHaworth helped me out with the transfer. http://referralorders.wikia.com/wiki/Glossary Which gives rise to a major problem ie.the overall size. The transferred Glossary is 25407 bytes, but I've only defined up to E2E. How can I make it all fit please? I basically need to set up a layout like the Help contents A-Z http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Contents Can you help me please ? Also, I added text to the Glossary beyond E2E, but it isn't showing.

Help on unprotecting
Hi,

I've made some edits lately on main page and the sysop there, who doesn't understand a word of english by the way, has reverted them without any good reason and then he has protected the page.

This is the diff of what i made. The guy said that what i have done broken the page and that the images at the bottom we're not showing. It not true :.

All i ask is that the main page be unprotected. I will talk with him (french is my main language) before making any other edit to HIS wiki. He doesn't understand one bit the wiki code nor how does templates works; he mostly do copy paste of things. I hope i could help him learn thoses things.

That wont be easy it seems. If i fail, i wont do single more edit on that wikia because i have others things to do.

Thanks. — TulipVorlax 06:51, 14 February 2008 (EST)

Thank you Catherine on such a wonderful opportunity for me and my organization. Wonderful origins can now come to the knowledge of the clan.

"Donation Counter" Widget at the Mike Gravel Wiki
Hi Catherine. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a widget for the Main Page of the Mike Gravel Wiki that would function as Donation Counter for the Gravel campaign. Perhaps it could tally information from various sources like:
 * Official Gravel '08 site
 * Act Blue
 * Gravel Resolution
 * or any other source of donation info

Would something like this be possible? Jaywin 16:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I also other DC Character like Batman, Superman, Wonder Women, Batgirl Cassandra Cain, and Spoiler Stephian Brown all have wiki pages why can't the Green Arrow have one.

For granting me admin rights on the Fashion wiki. I'll do my best to bring the wiki up to standards. For now, I have a few questions.

1. Is it acceptable for me to import images from Wikipedia as well as text, and if so, how should I tag the images?

2. Could you or another user help me copy some template code (such as the infobox code) to the wiki? I tried doing this on my own and had trouble.

3. Is their any way we could get this wiki to rank higher on google search. Right now it doesn't even make the first page when I search "fashion wikia".

4. On some articles, when I add "Template:Wikipedia", the Wikipedia logo image shows up as a link to the image. Can you help me fix this.

5. Can you please help show me how to change the top content (e.g. the "editor's pick")?--SGK 17:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll check out the new server wiki this weekend. As for the RPGstarter, we're looking at working on it this weekend, as well.

Help in renaming wiki...
Hello! I've just started a new wiki and have a little trouble there. You see, i've just realised that the name i've chosen... is wrong :(. It just doesn't fit russian (and any as far as i know) language, that's my fault. There should be one word changed, "cartographying"(on russian) instead of "cartography". How do i rename it? I've checked the forum and it seems here is the place to ask.

Thanks for your assistance. --Darhark 30 March 2008

Alarming
Hello there Catherine. I just looked at the Burnout Paradise wiki today and saw something wasn't right. I am not an editor there but happen to have it open in a tab. User:Glacier Wolf had blocked the founder (User:The parkster) for 13 years, after posting this forum topic (which from my point of view was complaining about how he was wiki-illiterate, a ridiculous reason if there ever was one). The block reason said: "Is this how old you are? Please stop messing around, and remember why you created this wiki: for information about Burnout Paradise". I replied to the forum topic asking Glacier Wolf to reconsider the block. However, I'm not sure whether to take this seriously as it was (in my time zone) very close to April Fools Day, but it seems serious. I see this as an abuse of powers.

To add on to this, I believe that no responsible Wikia Staff/Community Team member (I think it was one of those Glacier Wolf was going for) would block someone for that reason, and there is no excuse to do that. Glacier Wolf could have at least waited for community consensus.

Just thought I'd let you know ;). --Ryan T <font color="#C3B091">. 02:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

wikia genealogy
Hi Catherine, Can i ask for your help? i am pleased to see that wikia has devoted a section to family history and genealogy.
