Unblock me on Club Penguin Wiki PLZ!!!
I'm the good editor there. But I was inactive for a while (September 2008-May 2010). But there is a user called 356556, and he did something bad and make an administrator (Seahorseruler), rangeblocked my country (Thailand) for 1 month. (He said he's from Cambodia, but living in Thailand) As I live in Thailand, so I get blocked too. And I usually edit as an IP, or it will be very slow. I'm just a normal user on Club Penguin Wiki, I can't unblocked, so I asked some admins to help him, and no one help him. But Seahorseruler brock me for 3 months on June 22, 2010, claimed I'm 356556's sockpuppet. I said this is original Teesam, and I've contacted Wikia, I contact you to contact in many ways, and please reply at User talk:Teesam (or simply click THAILAND in my signature.

How can i use tr.yenisehir.wikia for another independent web site
Hi! Angela

We have the biggest turkish wikia. :-)

We have a problem.

http://tr.yenisehir.wikia.com web site is much longer domain name.

How can i use tr.yenisehir.wikia for another independent web site such as http://www.yeniwiki.com domain name.

I have seen a wikia site such as http://www.wowwiki.com

We want to be like that.

Thanks in advance.

-- Kartal (Talk) 07:33, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if Wikia will set up wikis on other dmains. Having your wiki end in .wikia.com helps identify the wiki as being hosted by Wikia, which allows users to realise that they can use their shared login, and other cross-wikia featrues. You could register a domain name (such as yeniwiki.com) and forward it to tr.yenisehir.wikia.com. -- Random Time  09:05, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but this isn't an option anymore. WoWWiki is an exception since it has millions of monthly visitors. However, you are welcome to redirect a domain that you buy to the Wikia site. marveldatabase.com is one example of this. Angela (talk | help forum) 12:31, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Posting Criminal History
Hi Angela, I have noticed some users posting criminal and felony history on anwwers.wikia.com ... these questions are simply the person's name; in the body of the question, the criminal history is given. At the present moment I am dealing with this as if they are not a question. However, I suspect such action is possibly a violation of the terms of agreement, and or, violation of privacy law in California. In my recall, all of these are about criminals in California, USA. -- Whiteguru  ( Talk ) 04:28, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oasis complaint
I would to complain about the new Oasis skin's poor quality and non-deisgn for any web browser.

On The Sims Wiki, there is a blog 'decidated' to not allowing it. This is now driving people off Wikia. On Combine OverWiki, signs overlap and it looks too much like Facebook.

It shouldn't be made mandatory.

I know users who are switching Wiki provider to other MediaWiki providers.

Skins
Hi Angela. I'm hoping you can help me out with something. I see you came out with a new "Skin" for wiki's. At Mafia Wars Wikia we were comfortable with using the "Monaco" skin, but it seems to have disappeared. Can you help us out with this? Thanks. ₩ind razor 00:44, November 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Have you seen the posts about it on the staff blog? You might also find that the FAQ answers any questions you have about the new look. Angela (talk | help forum) 10:14, November 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes I've read that. But at the time the Monaco skin was still available. The big concern is that it messes up some of our templates and formats changing the page in a way we don't want it to appear. The option of choosing between the 3 were great.

Issue with the Animal Crossing Wikia
Dear Angela,

I remember you from back when the Animal Crossing Wikia was hosted on WikiCities. I'm the user that sent in the original request for a wiki. There is an issue with the wiki.

I logged in today, 11/20/2010, for the first time in about a year. There were posts about the content being moved to another site. I found out because a message was left on my talkpage by another user. The message was inflammatory, so I blocked the user. I noticed he was listed as an admin, so I revoked administrative privelages and blocked other admins that had participate in flaming over time. Many assumed I wouldn't read the inflamattory messages because of my inactivity. I had posted that the fact that the wiki did not have a style guide or code of conduct and the wiki was not being written in a nonbiased and mature manner.

I also demoted other administrators who had been given administrative privelages for little listed reason. It's obvious that it was based on nonmeritorial factors. Also, those users were not using their admin rights. They were not inflammatory editors and thus wre not blocked.

I logged back in this afternoon and I've been blocked. The inflamattory content is back. All users have been unblocked and given their privelages back.

I am unable to revoke any other administrative privelages.

What should I do?

Currently, the solution I see is revoking administrative rights from everyone except myself and Stumpers. Neither of us are very active, but we're currently not involved with the flaming or the move to another site.

Inflammatory material can be found on my talk page on the wiki, as well as http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Minifig-me/A_swift_kick in the comments section. "Queen" references to stuff from when I was like, 15 or something. Stuff nobody took seriously nor was meant to.

--Aeryka 02:26, November 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Aeryka. If there is cleanup needed, then perhaps the VSTF can help you with that. It's possible that some users will need their bureaucrat access removed since otherwise it's possible for them to give themselves their adminship back. If this is needed, please could you send a message to staff using special:contact with links to the problems. Thanks, Angela (talk | help forum) 22:50, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, Angela.

I was able to revoke most rights, reblock users, and unblock myself.

However, because of this, I've been flamed on their new wiki and forum. I've asked for them to stop here:

http://animalcrossingwiki.me/forum/showthread.php?tid=114

To no avail.

How can I get the inflammatory content they've posted on a non-Wikia site deleted? I don't want this to keep showing up when one searches for my username on Google. I know Wikia has no control over this, but what do you advise as a netizen?

Thanks,

--Aeryka 22:31, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Edit:

Also, death threats to myself and Sannse have been made, here:

I knew you were there.
Wikia has not treated me, my wiki, and its editors fairly. If you had problems with my wiki, you should have contacted me. I suppose that you will continue to pretend that I do not exist.

— Ŭalabio‽ 00:38, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think Sarah Manley has contacted you and others on the wiki about this and another member of staff is working on creating a dump of the content of the wiki for you. Angela (talk | help forum) 04:11, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sarah Manley never contacted me. I did hear about Sarah Manley from Mister Van Lewis. He complained about getting into a fight with Sarah Manley in October. I told Mister Van Lewis not to fight with Wikia-Staff because Wikia-Staff could always win the argument by  harsh means.  That was the last I heard about it.


 * I never received any messages from Wikia. On 2010-12-17, I received an email from Sigi reporting that the wiki is gone. I never received any contact from Wikia. I tried to contact Wikia, but your reply above on 2011-01-07 is the first contact from Wikia.


 * Over the course of that weekend, I pieced together that Mister Van Lewis got into another fight with Sarah Manley and the parents of Him-Who-Must-Not-Be-named. I had to piece this together myself, because none in Wikia contacted me.


 * So none on Wikia contacted me. I probably could have diffused the situation. I might have had to temporarily block Mister Van Lewis until he becomes come again, but I probably could have diffused the situation.


 * None on Wikia has told me what I have to do to get the wiki back. This is not surprising since your comment above is the first contact from Wikia in 3 weeks of ignoring me. ¿What mustI do?


 * If Sarah Manley told you that she contacted me, she lies. As someone making an accusation, the burden of proof is on me. ¿Where is my proof? ¡Your logs!:


 * If you check your logs, you will find that Sarah Manley never contacted me. This is the first contact from the staff since you wrote me back telling me that you are on maternity-leave and that I should contact someone else about the run in between Mister Van Lewis and Sarah Manley back on 2010-11-02:


 * In November and December, Mister Van Lewis did not complain about and conflict and Wikia never contacted me, so I was surprised when Sigi inquired about the wiki being closed. This all could have been avoided. Wikia did not treat me, my wiki, editors, and its readers fairly.


 * ¿Could you investigate Sarah Manley? it seems that she let things escalate to the point that you have unhappy customers (yours truly and the users of my wiki) and a potential lawsuit (the parents of Him-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named). She really screwed up royally.


 * — Ŭalabio‽ 07:03, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the contact with you was not direct, but the wiki was warned many times about this sort of inappropriate content. However, if we can, we will help you to move the wiki to a new location. Angela (talk | help forum) 08:41, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * You dropped the ball. You evaded me for 3 weeks. Those are the facts. Your further evasion does not make you look good.


 * — Ŭalabio‽ 08:56, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * For the record, a dump of the wiki's content has been sent. Angela (talk | help forum) 08:24, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

ru.wow.wikia.com
Hi,

Please explain, because I can not understand why you give a bureaucrat unknown user AchievRU, who have not made any contribution to ru.wow.wikia.com or any site of wikia, after 4 hours, as this user has been registered? Already changed the background, not having anything to do with the game. I spent two years on this wiki, and you do not even ask existing administrators and bureaucrats. This is very sad and causes confusion.

Why do you allow such things?

My feeling and suspicions are that a growing number of non-English questions are actually Malaysian. http://translate.google.com sometimes suggests this, and at other times, google translate gets it wrong and I spot a malay word here and there. Can you have one of the community create my.answers.wikia.com for the Malaya questions? There are some wikia, but I don't think any of these are general Malaysian q and a wikis. Kind regards,--Whiteguru 07:40, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Page Deletion
I would like to know why someone took the liberty of deleted my page. It appears that the person doesn't even exist as their own page is blank as well making my deletion hypocritical.

Hello

 * Hello, Angela, I'am Nightfall. I have never actually made a request here, so I beg your pardon if I do it wrong, or sound too demanding. There is a user on a wiki that I have been given the rights to that has bureacrat status. I strongly feel that she is not ready to handle these rights, and I was wondering if you could please remove them? -

http://clansoftheancients.wikia.com/wiki/User:Frostyness. Thanks again, 22:46, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think you need to talk to Agent_WindFire about that. It seems that the user was a founder of the wiki. It does no harm to allow inactive users to keep these sorts of rights. Angela 13:33, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I talked to Nightfall about this. We know the user from another wiki, and she started flaming us when we told her some positions weren't open. We don't think she's ready for bureacrat rights now, as much as she used to be. ~ Agent WindFire
 * Ok, I have removed their bureaucrat access. Angela 22:30, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! ~ Agent WindFire

Deletion
I'm sorry to have bothered you. First of all, I was told to contact the author who deleted the web page which I did. She never got back to me, then I was told to contact an administrator, its very clear, right here: ok, so don't blame me they gave me the WRONG information so I beg YOUR pardon.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The REASON I chose you is because you had the most edits, I'm only human, and I do apoligize. If you people didn't have everything so half backwards on this site, I would have been able to contact the correct person from the beginning. I'm a creature of habit so I am sure the more time I spend on here, the more I will get the hang of it, but please be patient and give ppl a chance before snapping at them! They didn't answer my message because the person who deleted my page doesn't exist. I am truly sorry for bothering you. Thanks for your help. Kqvmfm


 * I'm not sure what was deleted. The best thing to do is contact staff using special:contact but please make sure you send links so they can see what is going on. Angela 13:33, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism

 * On DoraWiki, there is pages I tagged for deletion there and I am going to keep watch on that wiki and I want to become a sysop there so I can help delete vandalism. Thanks.


 * I deleted the vandalism page. You are also not eligible to adopt a wiki. -- 21:04, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Sponsor links
Do Sponser Links make my wiki appear on the around wikias network? And if so, how long does it last? Please put you're answer on my talk page on my wiki. The link is here. Tell me please.AnyGuy 21:09, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, those are spotlights. Angela 23:40, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * That is good to know. I've read the spotlights page, and it doesn't seem to make much sense. This wiki had a spotlight for a while (that is how I found it), and it had less then 100 pages, and it still does. explain this please, but thanks for the help.AnyGuy 00:12, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sometimes the Content Team make exceptions as they might spotlight a wiki they want to promote, for example. Angela 05:23, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Star Trek help
Hi Angela, I have kind of a strange situation here on Memory Beta - http://startrek.wikia.com

I'm the only active bureaucrat, and I've made some efforts to nominate a support staff of admins over the past year or two as the original bureaucrats moved on to other projects, but so far we have only one or two other active admins, and they do not focus on personal issues...

Meanwhile, I've been the subject of many personal attacks -- in the interest of openness, I've avoided bans and blocks in most cases as I can take a little heat if it means keeping the wiki running, but I've had my moments trying to defend myself.

However, I discovered a forum elsewhere online where several current and former Wikia users were planning these attacks as part of a grudge against me. I remain mostly in the Wikia site I use, so I certainly don't know how to approach this, but I find it very disturbing, as I found a post where a user mentioned they they objected to my admin nomination in 2006 and has been planning, with others, actions to undermine my authority since then.

I value my position being able to make sysop changes to the site data and it is very important to me that I keep up my work cataloguing link lists of Trek topics. However, I find myself unprepared to take a leadership role in the light of the hostility being planned and perpetrated.

I've contacted you before for technical issues but I don't know where else on Wikia to go for help of this nature, so I appreciate any time and guidance you might have to protect the MB wiki. Thank you and sorry to trouble you with this. -- Captain MKB 08:23, February 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * It might be better to use special:contact for this. Please could you send some links so I can try to better understand the situation? Thanks, Angela 10:00, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe I've read some of the very stuff here at Community Central. I took the remarks in comments/talk pages as people trying to sell an agenda against wikia, but sounds like some of them are having a blast over there. If you get attacked with random article deletions, don't hesitate to call me over there to help undo vandal edits. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  12:36, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal
I have "rolled back" to a previous version of Help:Edit. I am a member of borderlands wiki and seen the page wipes of nik224 on the page http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity. I do not know how to report this officially on this wiki. Just thought you would like to know. 06:34, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

I am saying that I will cease vandalism and discontinue use of all sock puppets but for my actual account, this one. I will continue to edit, should you give me that privilege.

Renaming question
A couple users on Bully Wiki (http://bullygame.wikia.com) have started a vote on whether to have the wiki moved to http://bully.wikia.com which currently redirects to bullygame.wikia.com. I decided to ask you if that was even possible because if it isn't, the vote is pointless. I don't have an opinion yet and I'm not asking you to take sides. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 20:32, March 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * yes, it's possible to change the URL for this wiki to bully.wikia.com. Just send a message to staff using special:contact to request that. Angela 04:09, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

New Wikia Question
Hi, i'm a new user so I'm just asking this question, please don't blame me if I've asked something very wrong beacause I'm really Isolated from Society and so. Is it possible to create a privert Wiki for a group work purpose? As you can see, wiki pages can update people like which pages and been changed and so. I need to find site that can do that so I can share my ideas for the project easily. So please tell me if I can create a privert wiki with this site OR any other site. (IsolatedSilverWind 16:53, March 13, 2011 (UTC))


 * Sorry, but Wikia does not currently offer private wikis. Our wikis are designed to be publicly viewable and editable. You can find alternatives at WikiMatrix. Angela 04:21, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Resistance Fanon
Thank you for moving my wiki!! :D

I wanted to move it so it would pop up in Google search engines, but it hasn't yet without googling the whole title. I was surprised at how quickly you responded and I did not know you had a baby! I wish you and your child many wishes!!!


 * Google can sometimes take a while to update. It will happen, but I can't say exactly when since it's not something we have control over. Angela 11:14, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Rangeblock question
Hi. I'm from the Bully and Bully Fanon wikis. I know you've fielded a couple checkuser requests from me and the other bureaucrat on Bully Wikis lately, and I was wondering if it would be possible to get some kind of rangeblock. Our problem user Kingofawosmeness777 continues to make socks, and after the last one got caught he made a troll/vandal account, User:I slept with your mother last night. I can't apply a rangeblock because as a non-checkuser I can't see what IPs he's editing from - is it possible to appeal to Wikia staff for a rangeblock to be placed? McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 23:14, March 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've added 2 range blocks on both wikis which might help. Angela 03:46, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Oh... When I logged on Wikia I didn't have an email address, so that's why it might not be working. I don't know specificly what the problem with the Rich Text editor is, but all I know is that it dosen't load properly, therefore meaning I can't edit anything with the Rich Text editor. Hedgeidna97

Thanks for helping me. Hedgeidna97

Sonic News Network
Hello Angela. I feel that I deserved to be a rollback on the Sonic wiki. But I was denied. I need the rollback position for all the bad contributors I deal with! Most of them just said no out of hatred, just because I'm new when I wasn't. I left my other account because I hated that email address! I truly feel I should have become a rollback. I edit everyday! I know you are probably not allowed to make me a rollback but do you have any suggestions?

 Bullet Francisco ''' Don't be a jerk to the Bullet! ' 19:42, March 23, 2011 (UTC)''

Maybe try asking as kindly as possible, if they say no, I'd suggest for you to report to them of spam and vandalism that may need deleting/reverting that you may come around to. If they don't pay attention, you can always contact the VSTF.

Eglinton talk  21:08, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. But as of now I think I need help from Angela because the VSTF won't help me.  Hey! Bullet!  The Easter Bunny is Here!  00:31, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is up to the community on that wiki. It might be best for you to continue to be involved as a regular editor for longer first, or ask the admins there if they have any suggestions for you. You can still revert vandalism without rollback rights so this doesn't prevent you from being involved. Angela 04:34, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. thanks for the advice on everything.

Userpage deletion
Hi Angela,

Sorry bothering you, but is it possible to remove the content of my userpage (and of course also from Lars Washington from all the wikia projects. I started the process but I think there is more to it than just deleted the content. Thanks. Aesopos &#91;&#91;Afbeelding:Europese Unie.png&#124;18px&#93;&#93; 19:18, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Pokemon wiki
Oh and also, on the Pokemon wiki, there is one bureaucrat, Charitwo, and he is not active all the tome and no longer edits there much other than his talkpage. I believe there should be another bureaucrat and a Requests for Adminship page because the wiki is the number 1 wii gaming wiki and number 9 gaming wiki.  Hey! Bullet!  The Easter Bunny is Here!  19:06, March 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * You are not going to be an admin or a bureaucrat. Your behavior is not appropriate. If you continue bypassing local issues by funneling through staff (along with making up your own messages to appear like they came from staff), you will be blocked both here on central and locally on the Pokemon wiki. -- 19:49, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please excuse Charitwo he doesn't know what he is talking about right now, I never made up my own messages so they appeared from staff. And currently, I do not deserve to be an admin, my edit count is far too low. I was trying to make a suggestion to you because Charitwo won't listen to me and accuses me for stuff I did not do. Anyways, please ignore his message for it is entirely wrong. He has been threatening to block me because I undid his edit to his talkpage because he kept removing messages from it which is against the rules. And he is also threatening to block me because I'm going to you for answers.

Ongoing Vandalism
Hey Angela, first I would again like to thank you for blocking users earlier on the Mass Effect Wiki, however the problem is that the user still keeps coming back, and frankly, in my opinion, it is getting out of control. I know you already did a range block on IPs, but I was wondering if there is anything more you can do. Also the attacks are starting to get personal, the latest user name was Jack's the name, Lancer, deal with it. I have a few suspicions about why this is happening, mainly the ME Wiki’s speculation policy, but again is there anything more that can be done, or with your message on your talk page, can you point me in the right direction? Lancer1289 18:37, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * If this is still happening, please could you send a note to special:contact? Thanks, Angela 07:21, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism?
Hello, my username is Platypus09. It has come to my attention that you have recently banned a user named Jake R for vandalism across of wikia. Jake is a primary contributor to a wiki of which I am currently administrating, the |TDI Camps Wiki. If it is possible, I would like to know the circumstances of this ban and from where it has originated. Thank you. Amazing Race 18,  and Survivor: 21,   and Pokemon Black and White, oh my!  03:33, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Jake R isn't blocked. He was renamed today and there would have been a temporary automatic block in place whilst the rename was happening. This prevents the accidental use of the account before the rename is complete which can cause problems. It is complete now so he should be able to edit again. Angela 07:21, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Rangeblock request
So, one of Wikipedia's most determined vandals stalked me to Bully Wiki... I'd just as soon not mention the guy by name because he's obsessed with his block logs and blocked accounts. Anyway I'd like to request a block on the range that the following users came from.

SmashWiki
Hi. As you may have heard, the popular Smashwiki moved a while ago to another host site named Wikia. The community moved with it and copied the articles down there. We hope you respect this move, as we had conflicts with wikia before. However, wikia staff has refused to delete the SmashWiki here on wikia, despite the fact that the only users remaining are either one-time minor editors, vandals, or a handful of users (including me) that are community members who are just sticking by to stop the vandals. Even worse, User: DaNASCAT is blocking some of the vandal reverters only because we are notifying new users about the move. He has also made it clear that he is fiercly opposed to us turning the wiki into a more useful source (like a proposed Fanon wiki). He is doing this even though he has not contributed to the wiki at all. WE repeatedly try to get him to discuss this, rather than merely censor our opinions, but he has not responded. We hope you can talk to him about this and respect our wishes to have control of our site. Mr. Anon 04:45, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that you've chosen to leave, but it doesn't mean SmashWiki at Wikia will be closing down. Angela 04:54, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't about closing down Smashwiki at wikia, we are actually planning to change it into a fanon wiki. The point is, DaNASCAT is abusing his power there, and we would like some help. Mr. Anon 04:58, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikia is supposed to be about letting us create our own wikis. Well, the people who added most of the content (this includes me and the user DaNASCAT blocked) are trying to do what we want here. DaNASCAT is not trying to preserve the "community". No, the community is long gone and the only editors left are vandals and one-time editors. We are trying to direct them to the wiki where the usual editors are, so that talents can be combined. As the only opposition to our wishes comes from DaNASCAT, we wish that you prevent him from harming the already messed up Smashwikia. Mr. Anon 05:08, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand that you may be busy, but the situation at SmashWikia has gotten worse. Could you please stop DaNASCAT from obstructing us? Mr. Anon 21:15, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please stop leaving messages about this. There is no problem with DaNASCAT's actions. Angela 01:54, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please elaborate. I have provided plenty of "problems". Mr. Anon 22:35, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please see sannse's reply to this issue on her talk page. You're not going to get a different answer here. Angela
 * Sannse refuses to address any of my points, really just boiling things down to "I can block you because I can". Seems you are no different. Go on, keeping censoring, refusing to discuss. You guys really have no arguments, do you? Mr. Anon 23:25, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Installing a Wiki
Hello Angela,

Given your involvement in Wikia, MediaWiki, and the Wikimedia Foundation, you are the first person I thought of. This isn't relevant to Wikia per say, so perhaps you are not at liberty to discuss this on this forum. I'm a former sysop of the RuneScape Wiki and I'm a 'crat at the Stellar Dawn Wiki, both fansites designed for Jagex Games. Another fansite, Stellar Dawn Central, and official affiliate of Jagex has requested my help, which is why I come to you. They are looking to install a wiki on their website. Being a member of the Wikia community, I have no idea how to install a wiki on a site not hosted by Wikia. My question's are.. how do you do this? or can Wikia work with the existing Stellar Dawn Wiki to offer support the their website, or formulate a merger? Jagex is a large multi-million dollar company whose heavily interested in both fansites. Is their something we can offer? Bonzi 18:22, April 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Bonzi. We're happy to offer free hosting to the Stellar Dawn Wiki (or paid hosting if you prefer an ad-free site). Did you know there is already a wiki at stellardawn.wikia.com? We can either merge your wiki with this, or host it on an alternate subdomain of wikia.com. Alternatively, if you did want to host it yourself, Wikia is based on the MediaWiki software which is freely downloadable from mediawiki.org. The default install doesn't include Wikia's skin or many of Wikia's own features. Those can generally be downloaded from svn.wikia-inc.com but we're not able to provide support for those on non-Wikia sies. If you want any help moving a wiki to Wikia, or merging with an existing wiki here, just let me know. Angela 12:01, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply Angela. Yes, I am aware of the current Stellar Dawn Wiki on Wikia. I am their b'crat. The other website is currently working on their own details and plans, and are interested in what a Wiki can do for their website and if a wiki would be compatible with their current design. Once they have gathered a few questions, I'll return in the hopes you can provide some answers. Thank you kindly, Bonzi 12:29, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is it possible for a website, such as Stellar Dawn Central, with it's own forums and design, to set up a wiki that will utilize the current IPB3 membership database? What are your ideas on using the Stellar Dawn Wiki as the primary host for the wiki purposes for the Stellar Dawn Central, and is it possible for people logging into Stellar Dawn Central to be logged into Wikia and it's wiki's with one log-in? Bonzi 12:39, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * It is possible, outside of Wikia, with sites such as ipbwiki.com. I don't know whether their software is keeping up to date with the latest MediaWiki releases though. It is possible to design a wiki to look like any site as long as you have people with design skills to do this. Looking at stellardawncentral.com, this ought to be mostly possible using Wikia's Theme Designer. I think there is more benefit to using Wikia or another up to date MediaWiki install than there is to tying the user database in with one from the forum. Angela 13:01, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Angela. Your answers are appreciated.

The LuxRender (3D rendering engine) has a Wiki on their website. You can check out their main site here: And the Wiki here: And their forums here:

Could something like this be created for Stellar Dawn Central that would utilize one database across both the forums and wiki, such as by using ipbwiki.com? Bonzi 20:11, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * They're probably using something like this extension. Similar things are available if you search the mediawiki.org site for ipb auth. You need to be careful to make sure the usual wiki features such as being able to block people still work once you're adding things that affect the user database. Angela 22:29, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Kingofawosmeness777/Deathwish Wiki
Hi Angela. I believe you've dealt with the ongoing issues with KOA and his having been banned from Bully Wiki and Bully Fanon Wiki, and even rangeblocked him for us.

He is a bureaucrat on Deathwish Wiki. Today he added this to his userpage there and followed up by a revenge block against myself and two other sysops whom he holds a grudge against. I don't know why, since I haven't mentioned him in a couple months and I've barely been active on Wikia lately.

Anyway, I don't particularly care about personal attacks, I'd have been content to just ignore those, and him. But, I do care about having a permanent block on my record anywhere, even if it's on a wiki I don't intend to ever edit. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 15:37, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I have since unblocked them and therfore I would like them to stop harassing me. Kingofawosmeness777 03:43, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Can you help me with a problem with another user?
Hi, I'm an admin on the http://potcoplayers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity. A user (http://theunitedalliance.wikia.com/wiki/User:Captain_Matthew_O%27malley) a while ago was promoted to a Burecrat by an Burecrat who went kind of crazy. The new guy then started deleting pages, demoting and banning the admins, banning users, promoted random people and cursing up a storm. One of the users he promoted turned against him. He returned the powers of the admins and we got the bad user blocked and demoted. After he was demoted he made a new wiki, a direct copy of the Players wiki. http://theunitedalliance.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity.

Also, if you look at my talk page on his wiki, you can see how mad he has been at me and how much he has been cursing at people. http://theunitedalliance.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Stpehen

He has since made a blog and started to impersonate me. He logged off his account and said he was me. He started cursing himself out basically. Of course I had to censor the post...

If you could take action about this, it would be great. He has been yelling at me for a long time and I just want him to stop. -Stpehen admin of the potcoplayers wiki.

Charmed Legacy Wiki
Hi Angela, can you please restore my bureaucrat status on my wiki - CharmedLegacy.wikia.com? There are currently no admins or bureaucrats on my wiki and I need to make changes to the main page, delete articles, blogs, etc but I can't do that without bureaucrat status. Sarah blocked me and removed the status but unblocked me on April 21 but she forgot to restore my bureaucrat status.

Thanks!

 * Below is translated message from Yard.

Sorry Angela for my previous post. I'm hard to write English. So far, I've used Google Translate to write English. From now on, I'll talk to you all in Japanese. First, please understand I was hard to write English. The correct meaning of my some previous contributions on this wiki was "Would you like to make me a member of helper group?". Although I've been helped by Tommy6 currently, I want to reduce burdens for him by doing such helps by myself. If possible, would you like to make me a helper? If you think some restrctions/qualifications are needed to adopt the right for me, I'll accept these. Thank you.

Request
Good, I am called Sasukeuzumaki. I would like to ask the position of Administrator in it is. H2o.wikia.com, since the current administratrix (Halliwell123456) does not do anything. Simply it limited itself to copying of another wiki the front page, but it did not do anything and already it takes time done the wiki. Because of it I would like to direct I the wiki.

If something goes badly written, pardon, peros is that I am Spanish and I used a translator.

Meep Sheep

 * Hey Angela, It's Artieandtinaforeva, an admin from the Glee Wiki. There is a user, by the name of Meepsheep that has vandalized templates and uploaded very graphic and disgusting photos that link to viruses. We keep banning her, but she changes her IP address and makes more accounts via nor. The Glee Wiki isn't the only wikis she has vandalized, she has also vandalized the Icarly Wiki, and the Sonic Wiki. Please Range-Block her. I am still a little hazy on this, so if you want very detailed things please contact Finchelfanno1, another admin on the Glee Wiki, who knows a lot about this.

I can not access my Wikia account
Hello. I have not been able to access my Wikia account, because I was hacked on the internet and all my passwords were changed. And it seems like my email was removed from my Wikia account, because whenever I try to log in it says "Your e-mail address is not yet authenticated. No e-mail will be sent for any of the following features.". I'm not completely sure what it means. 75.214.113.63 20:51, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

A familiar feature
Hi Angela, I think that you have known the familiar feature in wikipedia and other languages, the feature is download a page as a PDF, the page that readers like. I wish this will enable on wikia. More and more people all over the world visit wikis in wikia everyday, there are featured good articles that they love to read. Like wikipedia, this feature is easy to download as PDF when they click on the traditional navigation. That will let them easy to print and collect the page as a book. It is great, isn't it? The wikia should have this too but the PDF button should be put in the head of the page, I think more people will like it. But I have asked Charitwo and he said that this feature is hard to enable, is this true? Please let me know about it!

 * Uncyclopedia runs on a different domain than Wikia (it isn't on wikia.com, it has it's own url). So, just like WoWWiki, your account here doesn't exist, because Uncyclopedia and WoWWiki have separate user lists.

 * WoWWiki is on a different domain and need to log in separately because of the way login cookies are handled - however your user account here is the same one as on WoWWiki. Uncyclopedia is different in that it is on the wikia.com domain but the user database is not shared, so you need to make a separate user account there. Both of those wikis started outside of Wikia which is one reason why they are exceptions. Angela 04:05, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Question(s)
Hi Angela, I scavenged around every wiki project I could find, and according to this site, I need to contact you to make changes to Localsettings.php. I was hoping I could ask you three things.


 * First, to change the variable $wgDefaultSkin to Monobook.
 * Second, Is there some kind of way that I could access the other directories and files (i.e. files like localsettings.php, defaultsettings.php, $IP, etc.) of this wiki myself?
 * Third, I want to make this wiki look and feel identical to wikipedia, even possibly have a vector skin installed. How do I do that beyond Editing the Limited MediaWiki Directory.

Please reply as soon as possible. -B1K

<tt>I posted this question both here and here</tt>


 * 1. Not going to happen
 * 2. No
 * 3. Vector is not an option on wikia.--


 * Unfortunately, Oasis must be your default skin. Vector is installed on Wikia, although not supported. If you want your wiki to look and feel like Wikipedia, you'll have to do it with CSS and JS. Normal users are not allowed access to the PHP, although you can view the live source code on Wikia's Trac or SVN. You can have certain extensions enabled by asking via Special:Contact, although be aware that most of the extensions available are written by Wikia.


 * We don't use LocalSettings in this way. Instead, staff change wiki settings using an extension called WikiFactory. You can set your own skin to monobook in your preferences, but as Godisme said, it's not possible to set this as the default. You can find out more in the FAQ. We don't support Wikipedia's new skin, but you can make design changes using special:themedesigner or via the skin.css MediaWiki pages. Angela 22:06, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is it possible, then, to setup this and this? It says it's for bureaucrats, but it looks like the actual installing part is out of my ability. If you can't help me, could you please tell me who I should contact? -B1K 14:08, June 10, 2011 (PT)
 * That sort of extension is not available at Wikia, if you need an extension enabled, use Special:Contact from the wiki in question. -- 21:11, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

*0 Talk* and 0 Talk on wikianswers
Hi Angela,

hope things are travelling well for you with the baby!

I have noticed a few questions over on answers.wikia which begin with "0 Talk" as a Prefix

Are these from a new wikia or some sort of code among Filipino talking people or what?

There is about 6300+ of these questions.

kind regards

Whiteguru 04:52, June 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would be trolls, copying a question, including the talk count and pasting it to a new question. I see it all the time on Bleach answers.--


 * That's odd. I do suspect copy and paste but I don't know people would be doing that so often. Maybe wanting to search for similar questions but pasting it into the ask box instead of the search box? Who knows. I'm going to mass-delete these. There are less than 200 on that page. Where are the 6300? Were they already deleted, or are they on another wiki? Angela 07:03, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Angela; I did a search and came up with 6300; I'll resolve this more accurately as the arabic number 0 is likely confusing search results.Whiteguru 23:39, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's probably worth it to use a bot and make a list of all pages with the prefix "talk" in the mainspace, and mass delete the list. Nothing more than a few API queries. See this, for example; or this if you have API highlimits.

New Bureaucrat Functions
Hey Angela, Please accept this request, can you let bureaucrats on just my wiki, just mine, Ben 10 wiki, remove bureaucrat rights? I'm only want it for my wiki, since I know there are trustworthy bureaucrats and they will not abuse this feature, whereas there might be people that might on other wikis, I'm currently a admin at that wiki and the current bureaucrat will not give bureaucrat rights to me since he has to make sure I'm fully trustworthy to the wiki, because I have only been a admin for about a month, but with the new feature on only my wiki, this will probably change his mind since if I'm not trustworthy he can take my rights away and if I am trustworthy then I can keep my bureaucrat rights, if he gives them to me. Please consider this and thanks! --TheBen10Mazter 01:41, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

PS: Can please respond to this on my Ben 10 talk page or this wiki's talk page, so it will give me a alert, because I might forget to check back here fro a answer. Thanks !

PS: Can you make me a bureaucrat then if you don't have the power to make my request? Please, consider it. Please don't make me go to the adoption page or Special:Contact, i really just want a straight forward answer. Sorry for the bolded and underlined words, just wanted you to know, and really im not really adopting the wiki, i just want bureacrat rights.

''' And could read all the bullets below so you can see all the great things i have done that gives me the right to be a bureaucrat. ''' Again, sorry for the bolded and underlined words, just really would like you to know.

And for proof that i am bureaucrat worthy:


 * Im already a admin at the Ben 10 wiki, ben10.wikia.com


 * I have 2880 edits there


 * There is only 1 current bureaucrat (another bureaucrat will return when new Ben 10 episodes come out but that is only 2 and alot of wikis i know have about 3-4)


 * Most wiki staff on the adoption pages make users admins and bureaucrats with only about 300-500 edits, (I have 2880 edits), and they only have to edit there for about a month, i have edited there for about 2 months already.


 * I am ranked there #5


 * And i request rollback rights for users to the current bureaucrat, it would be easier to do it myself


 * If i disobey my new rights, if im made a bureaucrat, then remove them at once, then ban me.
 * Plus some bureaucrats/admins at the wiki only have about 350 edits, remember i have 2880 edits, sorry to be so repeative (not sure if that is even a word) but i really want to have this right to improve the wiki.

So i hope you make me a bureaucrat, please consider it and thanks! TheBen10Mazter 02:51, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

PS:''' Please give me a respond to my talkpage on this wiki, not the Ben 10 one, because i want to keep less messages as possible on the Ben 10 on. Thanks! '''


 * Changes to the default user groups are not usually done and not without a real need. There's rarely a need for a bureaucrat to urgently remove that right from another bureaucrat, so there wouldn't be any advantage to adding this. If bureaucrat rights do need to be removed and the community agrees on this, then a request can be made to staff to do that. I can not make you a bureaucrat on ben10 because there are already at least 2 actively editing bureaucrats there, so it is up to them to do this if the community agrees. Angela 10:05, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for that reply, I really appreciate it that your explainig that to me! So bye and congrats on your baby! --TheBen10Mazter 12:57, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Namespace?
Hi Angela,

I'm working on a new wiki hosted by MediaWiki and I'm needing to add a namespace but I'm unable to find the LocalSettings.php to do so. I'm aware the Wikia requires staff to make these changes on wiki's, so I'm really at a lose myself on how to do this. Can you shed some light? Thanks,

 * Also, I am a B'Crat on this new wiki but I am unable to edit in the MediaWiki: namespace. How do I get permissions to do so? Bonziiznob 18:24, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia doesn't use LocalSettings.php, but you can contact Wikia staff to ask for namespaces to be added. You should be able to edit MediaWiki namespace pages if you have admin rights. If you send a message via special:contact with a link to the wiki, someone will be able to help you with that. Angela 23:19, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Please remove a Wikia
Excuse me, but there's a Wikia that claims to be official, but confuses the game continuity with the TV show and comic continuities. The Wikia is called SonicTheHedgehog Wikia. I'm afraid that people will read the content on this wikia and become confused with the Sonic media. I don't mean to sound rude, but please remove it. Also, the creator of the wikia is somewhat of a troll. I also asked the same of Miss Sannse. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master   True gamers lesbian the Scott Pilgrim series  00:52, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
