TTG Wiki
Hey. It's a new season of the series and I've always been kicking myself for the main page on my Wiki. You guys were nice enough to help with the background awhile back and that was lovely. The main page just needs a total revamp. I was hoping for something more organized and pleasant to look at. It's basically your guy's clay to do whatever you think. I have nothing strict in mind. I did a sandbox to get a feel for it but hopefully you can help when time allows. I also have a new character portal on my wish list. I don't like the current one. Thanks for the consideration.

Fairy Tail Fanon Wiki
Hello, I'm one of the admins of the Fairy Tail Fanon Wiki, and I'm coming here again to request the creation of a few backgrounds for the wiki. It would be greatly appreciated if these three images (1 ,2 ,3 ) could be converted into backgrounds in a style similar to the one we have now (like this one ), basically, a background where the middle is taken out. Thanks in advance to whoever approves and takes up this request, it is, as I've said before, much appreciated (BTW, I've been lazy with my sig stuff, so here's a link to my talk page on the community wiki and on the FTF ). 22:37:21 Mon

Dev Wiki
Hi, it's been brought up that Dev Wiki is somewhat stuck in the past. The current main page is a relic of the past dating from when Wikia used MediaWiki 1.16 (which was the latest version at the time!) so obviously it could use some updating. I realise that we don't fulfil all of the criteria, notably page categorisation, but a lot of those issues are down to the nature of Dev Wiki as a showcase for user scripts.

Essentially, we'd like a main page redesign which reflects what's actually going on at Dev Wiki: Let me know what you guys think :)
 * A resource for Wikia specific code, e.g. Nirvana. A lot of this is unfinished, but as Dev Wiki is linked from Wikia's GitHub it seems prudent to keep this available.
 * A showcase of user scripts. We have a couple of hub pages for these scripts, but it's be nice to list a few of the more popular ones if there's any way to detect that. Maybe do some sort of 'grep' on a database dump of Community Central looking for global.js imports?
 * A documentation resource for Lua and the home of global modules. Whilst the latter hasn't taken off that much yet, hopefully it will in the future.
 * The VolDev programme is documented there too, so maybe the code review parts of the current main page could evolve to be part of that?


 * Replied on your talk page. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  17:08, August 14, 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Background
For the Game Shakers Wiki, I would like to request a wiki-background. Please make the background have this image as it's background and please use an IPad to place their picture and name overlapping the image. Here is the ipad:. Below is the names and the pictures of the characters. Also add the font Arial below and use a black color for the font. Please position it just as the BUNK'D Wiki's wiki background. Thankyou so much!


 * Kenzie
 * Babe
 * Hudson
 * Triple G
 * Double G

Wiki Wordmark
Can you also please make a wiki-wordmark? The logo will be on the left and the characters will be on the right. Please make the logo bigger and transparent. Here is the link for the characters to place on the right Can you please crop the characters and make sure they are fitted on the right? And here is the logo which is on the left. Thankyou. Also make the wiki-word mark transparent. Thankyou!

Henry Danger wiki background and cursor
We have put a new design for our wiki, but are having issues with our new design. We used to have a red background, but Now changed it to what we have now. We have users saying that they can't see it or looks little blurry.

Design blogs In the comments we have the several tests we went through be for uploading and one of our users issues with the new background.
 * test design for the wiki[]
 * File to background
 * Blog announcing Change

We still would like to keep the theme the same concept. We want to do something with shows characters or a theme from the show. Our new Home page is going to have the colors of the shows logo as headings as well as the feature section. Characters we want to include Henry Hart/Kid Danger Captain Man/Ray Manchester Jasper Dunlop Piper Hart Charlotte
 * Pics for characters



As for as the Cursor. I can get it working to some extent, but not working everywhere like on explorer or some other computers. Also when I go to click on a link it turns into the regular mouse. Any advice on this. .

We would also like to have a theme on the menu bar as well as some of the buttons like on the this wiki, but having ours blue and red like the shows logo. ThanksChecker Fred (talk) 14:52, August 12, 2015 (UTC) Since the disabling of the media wikia can we get one create for the Henry Danger twitter to link up to the homepage.

American Horror Story Wiki
Hey, team. In October, American Horror Story kicks off a new season, "Hotel". The theme is art deco, Los Angeles glamour. We're making incremental changes to our Main page and will have a logo contest for the new year, but we will need a great background skin. There's not a lot of key art to work with (two official posters so far), but I was hoping you could help out. Thanks! FishTank (wall/email) 04:19, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

There's a ton of work to be done, so we'd really like to start attracting new contributors. It'd be really great if we could get some help creating a new background and improving the main page.

Videospiel Zeitschriften Wiki
Hi, the tables in my Wiki would require (via CSS) an increase of the "fluid width" reserved for text/tables/images which by Wikia standard is only 704px out of the "absolute width" of 1066px. Thanks in advance for your aid. Maniacfan (talk) 20:22, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Example: The table at http://de.videospielzeitschriften.wikia.com/wiki/MANIAC does not fully display and requires scrolling if the "fluid width" is not increased.


 * Hi Maniacfan. Even on Desktop XL, the widest breakpoint layout, the main part of the content area is 858 pixels wide, which is still too narrow to display the table without a scrollbar. The solution is to adjust the width of the table or use a different method of displaying the information. If you need more assistance, please use one of the forms at Special:Contact.

Best Friends Whenever Wiki
Hello JoePlay. Users have been complaining about the wiki-background and I think that we should change it. Can you please put this background and take the characters off. Use the background which is the first layer and is with the yellow and white stripes background. Also use the characters and position them as left, right and such. The characters' names are below and the pictures. Please put the character images on the photo frames in the last wiki-background. Also add text underneath the photo just like last time with the same font.

Characters

 * Shelby
 * Cyd
 * Barry
 * Naldo
 * Chet
 * Bret

New Wiki-Wordmark
I then have to finish up by making a new wiki-word mark. Please use this image still but please increase the size of the characters just like the Girl Meets World Wiki word mark. But instead of putting that set of characters, please remove them and use these characters instead and do not remove the yellow and white background because I want to keep it there for the word mark.. Also make the wiki logo bigger just like the GMW Wiki. The wiki word mark must be transparent.

Banner (Announcement)
Can you also please make a banner with an announcment? Just like "Best Friends Whenever fan fest" at the top. Can you also add this picture at the left and write the text (32px) in Bebas Font right. It would appear at the homepage so I want that to happen. SunshineCutiePie 23:26, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

Melanie Martinez Wiki and FKA twigs Wiki
Hi I would like two different designs for both of these wikis, for the Melanie one  I would like a Cry Baby theme, also could you be able to change the logo to 'Melanie Martinez' in blue and a higher quality of the balloons? Could you also find a teardrop transparent for the favicon? For the FKA twigs Wiki I would like an MXLL155X theme with the album cover on the right part of the wiki and black on the left and a new faviocn with the wiki?

Thank you so much!

Zip Zip Wiki Request
Hello,

I have been working to provide a stable wiki for the recently-debuted Zip Zip children's TV series by GO-N Productions  and would like to know if you could add patroller and image controller positions to keep the articles in good condition (I've had issues with a recurring vandal from Vietnam within the past 6 days). Another Zip Zip Wiki request concerns the addition of a custom 404 page on the Zip Zip Wiki. Of course, I can't do it myself due to the recent shutdown of certain MediaWiki features. This is the template I would like added to the "MediaWiki:Noarticletext" page.

The series certainly maintains a decent following (especially on its official Facebook page ) as it now broadcasts in 6 continents. This week, I took a milestone by surpassing the 50-page request eligibility requirement (67 articles as of now) and have provided in-depth articles for the current 52 episode installment, including episode information, character appearences, and even some title cards that have surfaced for select episodes (for the others, I created a "TBA" title card done in the style of the show's own versions). I hope something can be worked out soon and will be priviledged to have assistance from the Development Team.

Many thanks,

BUNK'D Wiki
Hey JoePlay, now that I have found a better wallpaper for the wiki background, I want to request a new background, wiki header, and a poster for BUNK'D. Also, I would like to make some changes to the heading template.

Wiki Background
Can you please use this background, but remove the characters. Please put the current background, without the wood patterned background and keep the characters on it. Now, can you put the image that I just linked and put the current characters on it. If it was confusing, feel free to ask me.

Wiki Header
I would want to request a wiki header for the wiki. I would like to use this image. and keep the background. Can I please have it long enough so it can reach the first level of the wiki navigation bar. Also, please keep the background so that it will match with the background I requested. Also, have the logo fit and on the left of the header.

Wiki Poster
I would like to have a poster similar to this. I would want to ave the poster on this image. I also want the word "WIKI" right next to the logo with the same font and a slightly smaller font size. Te size should be the same as the example I gave you.

Heading Template
Last but not least is the heading template. Could you have it as same font as the logo please? Thanks.

Hello, I am the admin of the Medaka Box Wiki.

Then, can you please put these set of stripes underneath the logo? (Take the two characters off) and use the stripes. That is the only thing I want for the wordmark. Can you also please make a favicon using the sky whale logo: thank you. Take the stuff out and only include the narwhal. Also, I would like to use a new heading by using the same font as the logo.

I also want you to do the same infoboxes for the Pairing & Cast also infobox? Below are the characters for the wiki-background (Please position left, right and such). Also can you please make a transparent picture of the Talia in the Kitchen logo? Only the Talia In the Kitchen logo (with transparent background). Please give me that image of the transparent logo.

The Respawnables Wiki
Hello, I am a member of The Respawnables Wiki. I have gone through the requirements page and our wiki meets all the requirements. After detailed discussions with 3 Admins on the wiki( I even ran a poll ) and so I assume that all members of the wiki are positive on the decision. We want to have an app of our own on the play store and app store. Kindly go through the wiki and please let me know if there are any further requirements that must be met before we can have an app. If in case there is anything we must do, here is the link to my message wall. I am also leaving a link for 2 of our Admins, namely Darkangel (he's a bureaucrat too) and Osmarien. You can contact them if there is something that I cannot be contacted for. Another thing, if you are making the app, please add an option to edit the pages so that it is easy for the editors to edit the pages and hence make the most of the app.

I would also like to ask you to help with a template we a working on. It is proving to be very tricky. Here's the unfinished template. Thank you!

Munkapedia
I'm looking to get updated again. Due to Wikia ditching fluid, I've been waiting to see if the background behavior was going to change and since it doesn't appear so, here I am (the content area did expand slightly). Some of the edits made to the background as a result of fluid will need to be reverted.

All the necessary images are, none are the same images on the most recent background. They will need to be resized as needed (the top right is from one of the original background files so likely won't need to be, the bottom left is similar to the original image but is not the same). The files are positioned on the linked file in the area as they would in the background. The feet and heads should align across the screen (you might remember I'm a stickler on this). The images, likely just on the right, will need to be moved out slightly. The background color and fade will remain the same. DEmersonJMFM 21:28, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

Austin & Ally Wiki
Hi! It's Jessie1010 here and I'd like to request a new background design for the Austin &amp; Ally Wiki. We want to give the wiki a whole new look as it heads into its final episodes, something that will match the current and final season's theme song intro which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaLjg4_7irs Our background will try to include aspects from the intro. I have a basic idea for how I want the background to look but it's not final so I was thinking you guys could make one based off what I give you here and then we could build on it over at the wiki (usual process). I want the background to feature these pictures of each of the four cast members cut out going down the background left and right:



After these characters would be a cut out of this sign from the intro:

I would like the characters and the sign to be in front of a yellow and blue spiral background styled just like this picture (no logo just the spiral):



Then for a second option I would like the four and the sign to be in front of a yellow and orange polka dot background styled just like this picture (again no logo):



Thank you so much! I believe our wiki is in compliance to all of the requirements. The staff development team always does a good job on these so I look forward to working with you guys again. :) ~JESSIE1010 AKA      the matt chatter       CREATED BY DAZZLING1998

Jedipedia
Hey, I'm one of three active admins of the Jedipedia, the largest German Star-Wars-Wikia, and I politely request your help with some of our technical issues. Andrea, the German Community manager, redirected me to this page, so I hope that this is the right place to do so. After the separation of the Expanded Universe into Canon and Legends, we have to divide our entire database. One of our former Admins already developed a template, but since he doesn't have time anymore, his work is still incomplete and he won't continue any time soon. It was close to being perfect, but there are still some annoying bugs remaining unsolved. A few months ago we requested help from the German Wikia technician and he presented us a functionating suggestion, but unfortunately this was somehow different than we imagined it. Now we would like to get a second opinion since he told us that our expectations of the template couldn't be realized. Another Wikia user however stated that those issues could be solved with JS/HTML.

In the following I'm going to list the current problems:
 * the reference tags don't work; the reference tags summary can only be used once, but we need it twice
 * same problem with the table of contents: we need it twice, but it's only there once


 * → Example


 * it doesn't work in the mobile view - my suggestion would be to automatically redirect all users to the desktop version

We're looking forward to your answer. Thanks in advance. - Ben Braden (talk) 20:52, October 3, 2015 (UTC)
