Change to central hubs logos
Hi There, I saw the changes you made to the central hubs logos, they look great! Thanks for the help. Cheers, --Sarah (talk 18:38, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi there. My apologies, I'm a month late to the party because I'm not active on Wikia Central.
 * I'd just like to thank you for so much for this particular edit as it means a lot to see that you chose our Logo.

Blue boxes
Hey. I had already seen that blog, actually, but thanks for showing me anyway. While it explains why the blue boxes are disappearing, it doesn't explain what I should do instead. -- Supermorff 13:49, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see - what Wikia says we should be doing instead is searching for wikis via the search bar, because it searches across wikis, negating the need for blue box pages. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 01:48, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, but that searches by page, meaning that you're far more likely to come across large and active wikis than small, inactive ones, which is what I used the blue boxes to look for. How am I supposed to find the small, inactive wikias that are duplicates of larger wikis and have little to no chance of standing up independently? -- Supermorff 08:54, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * That is a good question. I'm guessing that perhaps part of the reason Wikia did this in the first place was to keep the large, active wikis large and active. This pleases the majority of users who wanted to find the big one anyway. To find the small ones will now be a very difficult task. Why did you want to find the small wikis? Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 09:48, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, mostly to merge any info into the large ones and avoid duplication of effort. It's a shame when a knowledgeable user creates a wiki for a subject, not realising there's a big one (and this is now very easy to do, thanks to "Create a new wiki" button on top of every page). That wiki is doomed to be ignored, and their info is going to go to waste unless someone finds it and does something with it. Even worse, the lack of attention on their wiki will just demotivate them from adding more info elsewhere. I've seen it, I know it happens. -- Supermorff 09:54, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

I can see what you mean. I think this is interesting. I think the majority of well-meaning, knowledgeable users would try to see if there was an big wiki on the subject before trying to create their own. The minority who do create their own regardless usually want to do a better job than the existing wiki. The real minority, that you speak of, are the people who didn't think of searching before taking the plunge. The new changes make it very hard to find these people. You could perhaps suggest to Wikia staff to suggest to users using w:Special:CreateWiki that joining an exisiting wiki may be a better, more productive idea. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 10:03, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe, but that doesn't really help deal with the wikis that slip through the cracks. Another problem is when a user wants to set up a wiki, but there is already an existing wiki that's quite small. Using the search bar, they'd have little chance of finding it. What we really need is some way of searching wikis without searching the content of wikis... Hm. Anyway, how would you suggest I go about contacting the Wikia staff about this? -- Supermorff 20:19, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Special:Contact is the way to go, as usual. Maybe suggesting on the appropriate staff blog is good as well. Public comments always build up interest. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 05:59, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've sent a message to Wikia staff and I've commented at User_blog:KyleH/The_future_of_Central_Wikia. It would be nice if you could chip in with your own thoughts. -- Supermorff 12:06, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 12:23, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Supermorff 17:09, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Wjxhuang
Hello, Wjxhuang. This user page and talk page was recently vandalized. PLEASE rollback the edit and block the IP if you can and if not, contact another admin. Many thanks,  Tommy  talk page 00:35, February 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi there! I believe the page has been fixed by someone else. I apologise, but I'm not an admin here, so there's no real way I can help for these types of things. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 07:54, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

What's up?
Haven't seen you in a while, huh? I was checking out some discussions and saw your name, so I thought I'd just say hi. If you don't know who I am, don't feel bad; it's been a long time since I've last been over at Avatar Wiki. What with the great job you guys have done, I figured there wasn't much more that needed doing. Anyway, I thought it was cool to see you again, but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't remember me. Later, --Gaylesking Gaylessignature.png Talk. I will listen. 04:34, February 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Gaylesking! Of course I remember - I rarely forget users on wikis. Thank you for your comments about Avatar Wiki, and best wishes in any wiki endeavours you are currently seeking. :) Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 04:41, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

yes but how
ok a pattern design image, but how do i put it into the background what options do i use to put it in the background


 * This involves css. If you have a suitable pattern image, you can go to the MediaWiki:Monaco.css on your wiki. There are three areas that make up the background, and in css they are #wikia_header, #background_strip and #body. Therefore,

background: #FFFFFF url } }  background: #FFFFFF url }
 * 1) background_strip {
 * 1) body { background-image: url
 * 1) wikia_header {
 * However, I wouldn't advise changing the first one (background_strip), because that's where the logo is. If you need any more help, once again, Help:Customizing Monaco offers much more information that you can peruse at your own leisure.

Thanx...LunaBella 23:45, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * You haven't ticked the box under the signature field in your preferences, so "Custom signature" isn't enabled at the moment. Tick the box and it will fix. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 08:55, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

I know now.

It's just when i tried to earlier, it said it was not a right code or something.

But thank you.

Hello
When I message you, can you message on my talk page? I messaged you a while back about problems with a vandalized user page, it took me a while to find the message here. Sorry I didn't see it.  Tommy  talk page 22:23, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I find this easier then having to look at the talk page again. I sometimes forget to look there and by then it's covered up with other messages. Thank you again!  Tommy  talk page 23:19, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
