Administrator rights on Parkour wiki
Hello, I am the president of umass parkour (http://www.umassparkour.com) and I'm looking to edit your parkour wiki, its in pretty bad shape. I've started adding a lot of new articles and cleaning up the ones that are there. I was wondering if I could be granted admin rights plainly because there seems to be no one leading it.

French Uncyclopedia
Hi Sarah, can you explain why you have erased a user page on Desencyclopédie yesterday (User:Ducteur Duschmoll) ? Have you recieved a specific request ? Thx. 08:49, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, yes there was a request by a user who said it contained personal information they did not want on the wiki and they were no longer interested in participating in the wiki. Thanks, Sarah (talk 17:24, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

hi how change the wikia logo to a personal picture ? --Kdevismes 00:19, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, You can learn how to upload a logo here. If it is for the wiki, its best to have a logo that fits the wiki topic. Personal pictures are best for your user profile. Best, Sarah (talk 17:29, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Warrior cats fan clans Wiki
warriorcatsfanclans.wikia.com is using a copyrighted image without permission. It's only supposed to be used on Warriors Wiki. Could you please do something about that? Thanks, Sparrowsong 04:29, March 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Have you spoken to the users there and asked them to remove the copied content? If you could send us an email at Special:contact with links and discussion, we can look into it further. Best, Sarah (talk 17:36, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding my email.
I sent Wikia an email asking to delete my wiki (Make Your Own Car Wiki). You replied and said you closed it. Thank you. You also said to talk to you about the wiki adoption. I am wanting to adopt Droon Wiki so I could make it so much better and an active community. The only problem is, I created a wiki a couple of days ago and I didn't even want it after I made it. So, would you either be able to make me a bureaucrat on Droon Wiki or lift the 60 day thing? I try my best to make any wiki I visit better whether it is 1 edit or 100 edits, I think I would be a good leader of Droon Wiki. Please answer on my talk page ASAP, Will k.

Hello, What do you think I should do to create an Arabic Wikia like this. because there are many wikias in other languages like french, italian... and i didnt know how. --Achraf94 17:44, March 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, You can create a new wiki here, and choose Arabic as the language. Please not that some tools that you see on English wikis may not be available there yet, since they are in the process of being translated. Best of luck and let me know if you have any questions. Best, Sarah (talk 20:30, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Nancy Drew wikia
Hello,

Thank you so much for the welcome letter for my contribution to the nancy drew wikia page. This wikia looks really run down, neglected, and abandoned. I was really wanted to help with creating the whole thing and getting it back on its feet, but i am extremely new to wikia editing, designing and all of that. Is there a page on the help wiki that i should check out, i was also wondering if there is anything that i would not be able to do without special status or something like that. (i don't even know if wikia's have special statuses.) I just really want to help this wikia become a central hub of information for nancy drew fans and a site that they can trust to have reliable facts.

Any help would be very much appreciated!


 * Hey! For starters, you should check out the links on Help:Getting started for basics, and see this page for information on being an admin. However, I highly recommend editing first before asking for admin privileges. -- 04:45, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

As Charitwo mentioned, there are some basic help pages that can assist you in editing here. Once you get the hang of it, definitely apply to adopt it if there is not other active community there. Let me know here if you have any other specific questions. Best, Sarah (talk 20:23, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hi... need your help, please x)
Hi, as the big words in black already say, need some help, rsrs.

So, I was trying to set a wikia in portuguese about a game, I made some articles, etc, but then, the administrator cut the contact whith me and he didn't give some administrator rights... x( And everyone abandoned the wikia D: No one edits it anymore, don't even acess it, I think...

Then, I created a new wikia, about the same thing (I know, i know, I could have contacted you guys and asked the administrator rights, but, about 6 weeks ago I was a newbie in this wikia thing so... forgive me... please? rsrs x) and until now it's getting awesome, some people are helping, we have 50 articles already, new monaco theme, I loved it, 5 hours to make it, tough (just the monaco theme, not the entire wikia, rsrs). But, going back to what I was explaining...

I made a test, typed the name of my wikia in Google, just to see if people who were searching for the topic that i'm writing about were finding my wikia, and then, the old wikia, the one who bugged and everyone abandoned, was showing up on the results of Google, and the one I'm making now isn't showing. T-T

So I'm here, asking for your help: What can we (or me, or you, rsrs) make to vanish with the old wikia, and put mine on the google results, i thought in erasing it, but, as I said, big newbie in this wikia thing so... Help, please? rsrs. Any solution is welcomed, and, full cooperation here too =)

Here's the links:

Old wikia: http://pt.assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/P%C3%A1gina_principal

New wikia: http://pt.assassinscreedbr.wikia.com/wiki/P%C3%A1gina_principal

Apreciate your help^^

PS.: I'm from Brasil and I don't get to talk to much in english, and sorry for any mistake on the typing, or anything that you can't understand, getting used to it tough... Always moving on^^

oops, the first time I forgot the signature (?) So here it is: --BrunaaAa 23:29, March 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * No one answered me yet... rsrs, 4 days, is there a problem os something? sorry for bothering =x --BrunaaAa 11:16, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Sorry to have taken a while, but we are very busy here at Wikia! There isn't a way for us to control what is searched in google, but you can make changes to your wiki to help it climb ahead on the search ranking. Please read through out advice page here: Advice on Raising your Google Rank The more content and people you have, the better your chances in rising. So keep it up and have fun. Best, Sarah (talk 20:19, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, no prob, it's fine since you answered^^ Thanks for the help, but, there isn't a way to erase the old wikia? <--Bothering you again, haha. Thanks for the answer =) --BrunaaAa 20:26, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Wikis are community spaces, so we do not delete them if is there are community members there. Best, Sarah (talk 20:32, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know if there's people editing, there's no reason to erase, but, there's no one there... The only editing made there was made by me, putting redirects to my new wikia, you can check the records... But thanks for the help, I understand and I'll see what I can do to raise my own wikia on Google, thanks for the help Sarah, have a nice week =) --BrunaaAa 21:01, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Admin on vtmb wikia
Goodmorning Sarah,

Thanks you for removing that page on vtmb. As you suggested in your email I am requesting admin rights for the vtmb wikia.

Problema con usuario
Perdón por escribir en español, ya sé que esta wikia es en inglés, pero he decidido contactar con el staff por un usuario (Andrés Bonilla 196) que abusa de sus poderes de administrador y burócrata. En DialgaPedia todo iba muy bien hasta que llegó él. Resulta que creó el equipo de comunidad de Dialgapedia. Eso me parece perfecto. En el menú de inicio puso una lista con el equipo de comunidad. No me molestó en absoluto. Yo puse una lista con los administradores, y entonces él me dijo que no se podía y la borró. Le pedí una explicación de por qué él podía poner una lista con el equipo de comunidad y yo no podía poner una con los administradores y no me la dio, por lo que volví a poner la lista. Por hacerlo, me bloqueó durante un día. Les pido por favor que hagan algo con este usuario, ya que abusa de sus poderes de administrador y burócrata. Gracias por su atención.

 * Please work together to build community and consensus there. You may want to come up with some guidelines for admin rights, behaviors and policies. There are a lot of good examples of this across Wikia, so take a look around. You may also want to re-read the Admin how to guide. Best, Sarah (talk 16:34, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Lost Wiki
Hello, I just want to inform you that you may have looked over Station7's adoption request for LOST wiki. I know this was unintentional, so I suggest you or another one of the adoption request moderators check it out. The reason why I think his request was looked over is that there are several requests that were posted after his, and they have been accepted or denied.

If I am wrong, and you have noticed his request and is in the process of accepting it, then I apologize for bothering you with this message. Thank you for taking the time to read this. :) - Bluethunder Contact 02:30, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

New hubs
Hello. It has been quite a few days since the new hubs were released. While I like the images at the top, and the improved layout, the link to the list of all wikis in the hub still isn't there – have you got a time frame for when this link will be added? It's not optional, it's vital; how else are less popular wikis going to get any visitors? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I would have thought it's a fairly simple operation to add a "See more wikis" button to these pages. As you can see on your blog post, it's a feature several people called for. I apologise for chasing you over this (!), but I feel it's pretty important. Thanks, Bethel23 (talk) 11:07, March 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * While I'm certainly not an authority on the subject, I can guess that there are plenty of reasons why Wikia would not acquiesce immediately to something like this. It's not the small technical stuff involved in adding a link to the hubs that takes time. It's the decision of whether to do so, and exploring all possible options (and looking for the best one), that takes time. This is especially true of a suggestion like this, assuming Wikia has considered it. For example: Do the hubs on Community Central provide good lists of wikis? (Certainly not.) Would providing an automated list on the corporate wiki be better than the always-out-of-date manual lists on Central? (Probably.) Is it practical to provide a list of several thousand wikis at once, for a listed total of 90,000 wikis, and making it automatically update constantly whenever a new wiki is made? (Probably not, that's why they stopped updating the old list on Central.) As you can see, no simple operation, even if their line of reasoning is drastically different to mine, which it probably is. :P I understand the frustration of not having a wiki listed somewhere official, and obviously, Wikia can improve in regard to surfacing good wikis, but I personally don't think another list, or at least a big "full list", is the way to go. Sorry about the wall of text! The 888th Avatar   (talk)  12:17, March 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the detailed and quick response, The 888th Avatar. I agree the Hubs on Community Central aren't perfect, but I think they're reasonable, as they list the wikis which people have actually bothered to put on that page – so this eliminates the many thousands of wikis with sort of 1 article. An automated list would probably be better, though, I agree. We don't want thousands of wikis listed, obviously. My suggestion would be to have an automated list of all wikis in that hub with edits in the last month. That should avoid the majority of the wikis which don't have anything useful on. However, I can see your point about Wikia's decision. I do think, though, that somewhere, somehow there should be a list of (active) smaller wikis, for people to browse through. One of the many reasons for this is the search on Wikia's main page. I was told it is a "cross-wiki search", but what it actually does is search for individual pages on wikis – so the text in the box "Find a wiki" is not true, it should be "Find a page". For instance, searching Children's Books comes up with results from Fallout, Star Wars and Lost – just because these wikis have pages with "book" in the page title. So, apart from searching it in Google, there's no way anybody's going to find Children's Books Wiki. Sorry for another wall of text :) Bethel23 (talk) 12:48, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Bethel23 and The 888th Avatar, thanks for your messages. We are alway working on ways to improve how we surface, new/active/small wikis. I have shared your feedback with the product team, and hopefully in the future, we will have better ways of surfacing all the great content out there. Thanks for all your work here and love of your wikis! Cheers, Sarah (talk 22:47, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Your response on the help wiki
Thanks for your response to my inquiry on Help talk:User access levels. The reason I asked is because I've started a wiki on roleplaying on Livejournal-based websites due to the already-existing wiki on the subject, right here, being nothing more than a cesspit of articles such as this. While I know dedicated trolls would still be able to log in to make problematic edits, it's been my experience that in the Livejournal RP "culture" users are less likely to be trolls if they know someone is actively watching them. (For example, a popular anonymous discussion community saw a drastic reduction in trolling when the maintainer turned on IP logging, even though there wasn't really anything that could be done with the IP addresses gathered.)

This is the reason I wanted to be able to disable logged-out editing on the wiki I started; if there is a negative effect on community growth, personally I see that as an acceptable tradeoff.

Sorry to be a bother; Shiftnoise 21:46, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, as I mentioned we can enable this, but generally don't until there is significant vandalism. If this happens, let us know. You many also want to promote active users to admins, so they can help if fighting an initial spam. Best of luck, Sarah (talk 17:51, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Spongebob Fanon Wiki
Hi. I don't want to sound rude or something, but...

Dear Wikia,

''Once from usual Spongebob Wikia I found this wikia. It seemed interesting and I started editing. As number of my edits started increasing, I created account, only for this wikia. I continued my editing, and currently, I am close to 1000 edits there. But at the same time - Spam started increasing, Admin left the wikia, other users started leaving, too, but I stayed. Despite of little comebacks, spam continued to grow. I am trying my best to keep, at least, my pages without spam. A while ago, I found this page. Today I, finally, decided to request adoption of this wikia. If I would become admin, I could protect this wikia from spam and get rid of already existing spam. Please, make me admin. Check out this wikia, too! SpongeWriter123 17:35, April 4, 2010 (UTC)''

''Can you check with the community first, to make sure they agree to you becoming admin? Then let us know here and we will be happy to give you the rights. Best, Sarah@Wikia (talk 21:27, April 5, 2010 (UTC) ''

''Okay, I posted question about this there. I'll let you know if they agree! SpongeWriter123 12:01, April 6, 2010 (UTC)''

''Well, there are those who agree. SpongeWriter123 15:49, April 6, 2010 (UTC)''

''Yes, they agree! SpongeWriter123 12:23, April 7, 2010 (UTC)''

''Is something wrong? SpongeWriter123 10:51, April 9, 2010 (UTC)''

''I am happy to help SpongeWriter, I think he needs the rights to change the logo and maintain the wiki from what I have heard. I even made a new logo for the wiki. User:Rswfan 09:15, April 10, 2010 (UTC)''

''He's absolutely right! Well, if you wanted to hear agreement, then you heard it! SpongeWriter123 13:22, April 10, 2010 (UTC)''

''It makes 8 agreements over wikis! SpongeWriter123 14:10, April 11, 2010 (UTC)''

''oh and... spongewriter is not only asking for admin rights, he is also asking for b'crat. right? Why is my name in green? i am not a admin! 17:03, April 11, 2010 (UTC)''

''Yes, that's right! I only don't get why I haven't got admin and b'crat right already? SpongeWriter123 18:00, April 11, 2010 (UTC)''

This request is at "Adoption Request" for the long time and it isn't answered. SpongeWriter123 16:05, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, it got lost in the mix for a bit. I have now given you admin rights there, so enjoy! Sarah (talk 21:14, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Too many wikis
Hello, I am the admin on the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki. At the moment, there are a number of duplicate wikis of it that have existed for months and yet have no content; in addition to not even having the correct name. If these could be deleted, especially as they all come up first on search pages (before my wiki), it would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Swampert rox 22:24, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * We have a lot of content, and there are many daily edits; yet it is one of the last search results. I did a search just now, and maybe 6 or 7 other wikis without content and a page about the game on another wiki came up before it. --Swampert rox 11:39, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * The wiki's may be older than yours. Which, in my experience, makes them show up first. I do think that continued editing and advertisement will cause it to rise on the list, I'm not too sure though. -Bluethunder Contact 16:34, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

It's happening again
This page here. On the SPPf wiki. I've reported it, but the status now says "closed", the article is still there, and the owner of the wiki hasn't been on the forums (SPPf) for a bit, so I thought I'd just post it here to get it deleted quickly. Oh, and there's a video on that article too, that I also want deleting.

I seriously am getting annoyed. Shiny hunter Reece 22:17, April 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, the page is looks deleted and protected now. In the future, its probably best to contact me directly, rather than reposting the inappropriate content here (which leads to a lot more people seeing it). Best, Sarah (talk 23:27, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Small problem i have.
Hello, you dont know me obviously but i know your a good Admin. So, somehow i was banned. During the month long ban period i just figured it was idiotic to do anything vandal-like and to just be a constructive person on Wikia. So, im on the Icarly wiki and im looking at a particular page, and on which there are links to fanfiction on Fanfiction.com that contain, at least to most ideas, Inapropriate content. So i leave a comment on the page telling them that such a link where children are like to find it is a bad idea. Well, one of the users (I believe the Page Creator Actually) comes and says that they do not believe me. So i simply copy an excerpt of the particular story and post it so that they could see it for themselves. A few days later i come back and lo and behold, im banned for writing inapropriate content. one even said "Save it for your own dirty stories."

So what i am angry about is that i specificaly stated that i was posting an excerpt of a story that they knew was there, i even put the title of the story from the list and yet they have come, deleted all of my reasoning, called me a sick person, and banned me for something that one of their raving horde probably wrote in the first place even when i simply want to help. So, im sorry if i am bothering you, but before i even ask for any kind of action, i just want your opinion on the deal.

So thanks if you read this, and im grateful for your time if you do reply. In the Service of Service, Tolas of Brand


 * Have you written to the admin who banned you to explain what happened? I think that is the best place to start. Sarah (talk 23:36, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
