Another Wikia Gaming Blog prospect?
I'm interested in getting the MU*Wiki added to the gaming blog. What criteria does a gaming Wikia need to meet for that? --Stamp 03:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The blogs are being trialed at the moment. Once the current issues are fixed, we'll launch them more widely and add all of the gaming wikis to the gaming blog. Angela talk


 * Sounds great. I really hope to see the blogs getting more use! It's a great feature. Stamp 05:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Sysop rights on es.beekeeping
Hi Angela! I would like to ask you to give me sysop rights for the es.beekeeping wikia, because I have to do a lot of cleaning and the local beaureaucrat is not present for the moment to ask him. He also needs help with the system messages, because he doesn't know much about Media Wiki. Greetings, --Adela 13:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Bot
Sorry for giving you a lot of work, but is it possible to give w:c:stad:Gebruiker:Staatsbot a bot status? Thank you, 15:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Adopting the Astronomy Wiki
I have began editing the (Apparently) inactive Wiki Astronomy. I would like to get Administrator access to this wiki to prevent vandalism and replace the logo on the wiki. I think this wiki has great potentiall on Wikia. If you can, please reply here.

French Uncyclopedia URL redirection broken
Hi Angela

http://desencyclopedie.com doesn't seem to work anymore. it used to point to http://desencyclopedie.wikia.com but now leads to Wikia's home page since a week. Could you help us out on this ? Thank you very much.

--Thaumasnot 09:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This is listed to be fixed. Angela talk

css
Hey Angela, I already asked Catherine this, but I decided to ask you as well since your online ATM. Do you know how to change the background color of the sidebar and TOC using css? I've tried to do it in my monobook on another wiki, but with no luck. Thanks, Pinky49
 * It worked for the sidebar, but the toc isn't working. Do you have any idea why? Thanks again, Pinky49|Talk
 * It worked! Thanks. Also, could you delete it now? I have no need for it on this wiki. -Pinky

IRC request
Hi Angela, if you've got a sec could you come on IRC? I have a sockpuppet problem and was wondering if a checkuser could be run. Don't worry if you're busy, it's nothing urgent.  Scott ch  22:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

New traffic feature on Psychology Wiki
We are interested in all forms of user feedback here, but couldnt make out what the stats represented, as there were no headings on the columns. Are these users or pages accessed. From our Google Analytics returns we get about 5000 user a week accessing 15,000 pages, so I am assuming they are pages. What do the increase percentages relate to? Why aren't there numbers for every day? etc etc. Happy to work with you to get this sorted as it should be useful and a convenient check against GADr Joe Kiff 19:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

GunZ Wikia...again
Angela, can you make me admin there? I really wanted to delete some pages here and there...--Gravity 09:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Stats data request
Greetings Angela,

Would it be possible to find out how much visitor traffic scratchpad.wikia.com is receiving from www.hongfire.com? And/or general traffic data on articles in w:c:scratchpad:Category:IllusionGames? Many of the IllusionGame mini-wiki's editors are anons, and the nature of the mini-wiki probably gives it an even more skewed reader-to-contributor ration I believe. So it's quite hard to estimate how much of the Illusion games player community is using the miniwiki. Thanks. -Afker 14:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fantendo
Yes, we are having quite a perdicimint with Fantendo. If you could, could you please fix the monobook? They have worked their best, But, its still a greenish black colour. LOLOMG 15:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Logging In!
For some reason, neither Internet Explorer nor Mozilla Firefox are showing the "captcha" image that's meant to appear for verification on the "create an account" page on wikia! Is there some way I can get past this problem so that I can still create an account? --84.64.67.13 18:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Please email me at angela@wikia.com with the username you want and I can create it for you. Angela talk 18:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyright?
What's the copyright restrictions in regards to wikis? Can users upload music tracks/images/quoted interview excerpts? --Creation 19:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of the interview excerpts wouldn't be from other websites, but magazines. I don't understand what the deal is with uploading music tracks! Memory Alpha uses music tracks to demonstrate theme tunes of the various Star Trek series. I know that MA is operating under a different licence, but it would seem to make sense for the music wikis here to demonstrate what tracks sound like by including a few excerpts! Can you see any sense in that? --Creation 19:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've just read that Wikipedia uses the same licence as wikia. Doesn't that mean that musical excerpts are allowed on wikis, as they are on Wikipedia?!? --Creation 20:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Bots for Halpedia
One of Halopedia's admin, Ed, has asked me for help, and one of his issues concerns bots and making them. I'd like to request permissions to create bots, i believe the permission is botcheck. We're just trying to improve Halopedia a little bit more. If you have more questions feel free to ask me or Ed. Thank you.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 00:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Ohh. Sorry, i know that some networks require it to be a user permission. I assumed this to be true here too. Can you tell how to create bots, or where to learn?
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 18:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

wikis
hey. I just wanted to know how long before I get any info if I am allowed to create the pendragon wiki. but I still haven't gotten anything so Idk if anyone even checks them or something. Stryker.


 * Have you made a request for it on the requests wiki? You need to explain there how you would find people who would want to edit it. I'd suggest you make a mini wiki at scratchpad: first to see whether anyone else would help to create a wiki on that topic. Angela talk 20:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

changes in Help:Tutorial
Hi Angela there were a number of edits of this page http://peace.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Tutorial on 5 June, including reversing your edit. Would you take a look and see if the current version is the correct/official one? Thanks. -ts-talk 12:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Angela, I had a look on this and the page was vandalized by the "unknown" vandal. I reverted it for now. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:13, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Soy yo de vuelta.Mira, ya hice lo que me has dicho, y no funcionó, porque dice que puede ir perfectamente en un wiki de tv. Yo quiero hacer como esta wiki pero en español. --Agu$t¡n@ 23:42, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

oh! thank you, thank you, Angela --Agu$t¡n@ 00:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Lurking Vandal on iverilog Wiki
I noticed that you fixed a blanking out of the Icarus Verilog ABOUT page. Thanks for that. This is the second time that it happened and I'm enabling protection from that page to see if that prevents it, or at least drags the perpetrator out of anonymity. Is this something that is just "going around" or is there a software bug that is doing this?

IRC
We, Halopedia, seem to be having some trouble with our IRC... I sent you a message on IRC, but you weren't there, so here's the transcript:  a word, please  someone from Halopedia, Phil.e., a reasonably respected user, is trying to take over our IRC channel  cchristianTP is currently the channel contact for #halopedia, our IRC channel  Phil.e. doesn't like this, so he wants #halo-wikia to be our official IRC channel  currently he's #halo-wikia's channel contact, and he refuses to relinquish that...  he will undoubtedly ask you to make #halo-wikia accessable from irc.wikia.org  as a Halopedia bureaocrat, I must ask you not to do this; it seems merely an attempt on his part to gain power that is not rightly his Also, he refuses to believe that you said you're fine with just having access level 10 in our IRC channel... he insists on being channel contact, as well as giving people like GHe and Jack_Phoenix--people who don't even work for Wikia--the channel password, while the actual Halopedia admins are only level 30. So basically, please just keep #halopedia as the official channel that can be accessed from http://irc.wikia.com and tell him that you're fine with being 10. Thank you! g ü é ß Ł ¥ -π é Ґ <font color="#0000ff">∫ <font color="#0000cc">ø <font color="#000066">ñ <font color="#000000">¥ -<font color="#000000">† <font color="#007700">ħ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00ff00">И <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">¥  21:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Namespace help?
Can you add Guide and Guide Discussion into the namespace in GunZ Wikia? Thanks in advance. --Gravity 14:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

"Unknown" spam filter
It seems I'm unable to type the word "unknown" in the summary bar when editing a page, due to the spam filter. What's the reason for this, and is the filter something I can customize on my own wiki? --Proudhug 04:44, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikia Page Admin Response
I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you -- I hadn't checked the Wiki in a few weeks while on vacation. You asked me if I would like to be an Administrator of the page at http://hockeyarena.wikia.com. Just wanted to post here saying I was indeed interested, if the offer is still open. Thank you! --Griminald 05:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

New name for DHB Wiki
You were right about DHB Wiki's name. Its editors have said that the name has to be changed.

So... Is it somehow possible to change the name of DHB Wiki? If is, could you please change the name to Bioarkistot?

Regards, VezonThunder.


 * This is done now. Angela talk 15:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Judge Dredd Wiki
Hello Angela, long time no see. I noticed that the wiki is bare. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind changing it to "The 2000 AD Database Project" and making me an admin please --SGCommand 11:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it would be better if you made some edits there first. Angela talk 15:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Resident Evil Wikia
The 2 known admins, Res.evil guy and Warsman11 don't edit! Warsman11's las contribution was in September whilst Res.evil guy has never edited! Also i'd like to point out that i edit all the time on nearly every day for the last five months. since then most editers are unsigned IPs. Forerunner
 * Also i have made key edits. like adding in a timeline, a character, some enemies, a multimedia library, and i am planning on a walkthrough Guide. Forerunner
 * Also vandelism happens on short intervals. I also figured out that Warsman11 mustn't edit other wikias because he's have known if someone vandelised his user talk via wikia messaging. Forerunner
 * erm... You do realise what i mean do you? *cough* Admin??? Forerunner
 * Yes - I'll make you an admin there now. Angela talk 18:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Black Background
I made the Background on one of my wikias black, but the words didn't all change, like if i used a template the words that dont link 2 other stuff are in another shade of black. Do you have any knowlege of MediaWiki:Monobook.css? cos like loads of people ask you before the lower admins Forerunner


 * You need to set the font color whenever you set the background color. For example body {color:#FFFFFF} . Angela talk 15:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. Its just hard 2 find it Here

Super Ban
Is it true that if you vandelise Wikia you get banned easier and is it also true that you'd be automaticaly banned on every other wikia or is this just rumoUr spreading around the net? Forerunner


 * Getting bannded from the Central Wikia doesn't mean you're automatically banned on all wikis. However, there is a cross-wiki ban tool that can be used if someone is persistently vandalising many sites. Angela talk 15:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. Just clearing out rumoUrs Forerunner

Anarchy Wiki
Hello Angela:) Thanks for letting me know about you making Anarchy wiki. Have a nice week and God bless:)--Sir James Paul 14:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Zelda Wiki
On the Zelda Wiki, there's no b'crat. I was going to ask for adminship there but realized there's no point because of the no b'crat issue. Could you fix this somehow? Sorry for the bother.--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 01:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You could still apply on the requests for adminship page there and then one of the existing admins could become a bureaucrat or a staff member could make you an admin. Angela talk 17:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

RuneScape Wiki Wanted Pages
There seems to be an issue with wanted pages on RuneScape Wiki. Our wanted pages seem to go well over 500 and we are trying to remove many red links. However, some pages that appear in wanted pages do not have the red links when you go to edit them. I've uploaded one image as an example. When, for example, "Forum:Hyenaste's bank sale" is clicked on, there is a list of pages that the link supposededly exists on. However, when you go to edit any of those pages, the links don't exist (for example, User talk:Jdthegameboy). This isn't the only link that does this, but it had a shorter number of links so I believed it would be the best example. These links have been on wanted pages for several weeks now, and will not go away. I was told to ask you about what the problem may be. Do you have any suggestions for us? --Clv309


 * I'll try to get someone to fix the links table. Angela talk 17:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Greatly appreciated =] Clv309 18:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Some of these pages were mistakenly recreated in one user's attempt to remove them from wanted pages. As I'm not a sysop (and none are on at the moment), they have not been deleted yet. I'm just not sure if they will still give the same problem once they have been deleted again (if, for some reason, they do however, at least now we know one way to get rid of them). We'd still appreciate someone looking into why the issue appeared in the first place though. Thanks. Clv309

When i was on wanted pages, i crearted a page, doubled back and it was still red. So i wenrt back 4wards and then got onto the wanted pages via links (not using the go back button) and it worked. Try that. Forerunner
 * This issue has been (mostly) resolved by going to the page where the link supposedly was, clicking edit, then resaving the page without making any changes. However, we're still left with several pages on the list where, when we go to click on them, is says no pages link there. Some pages stay on the list for days, then (they seem to) eventually disappear and then other times they're removed when the list is purged. Not sure what to do about that. Clv309

Problem on Star Wars wiki
One of the adminstrators, Darth Culator, has been harassing and insulting me since I don't share his views on two articles. So far, he's called me a troll, idiot, moron, and thick skulled. It could escalate to even higher insults. Can you please talk to him?

Honorverse Wiki
Hi, I was wondering if you can help me. I would like to adopt the Honorverse Wiki. I have contacted the two admins but they havent responded. In fact, when I started to edit and add articles to the wiki, there was roughly nine articles since it was founded in 2005. I started to add articles two weeks ago. I added around roughly 80 articles, organized the articles, and went to different Honor Harrington forums to enlist help. I got one user, who has since added many articles since he started a few days ago. Between me and this new user, we have added up to an additional 90 articles. I have sent a contact form in but I havent gotten a reply. If you can help out, that would be a good step. --Farragut79 03:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
