 * Zeartul is a now a bureaucrat there, so he is able to make other users into admins using Special:Makesysop. Angela (talk) 08:24, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Possible Copyright Issue
We have might have a copyright issue or not, in the Activism Wiki. As far as I know, the author of the article is probably okay with it. It's just lacking explicit permission at present. We've had some discussion on the Talk Page. I was wondering if you could provide some further guidance on it.


 * I've replied there. Angela (talk) 08:24, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I need sysop status on tokipona.wikicities (urgently)
Hello Angela,

On tokipona.wikicities there was a big vandalism attack, and I want to fix everything (I have to delete pages to be able to move some pages back to the original place; want to block vandals in future)! Could you give me sysop status there? I am one of those (few ;-) who are observing and editing the wiki quite often there, by the way. Additionally I am sysop on de.wikt and als.wikipedia, so I already know the jobs and tasks of an admin ;-) --- Best regards, Melancholie 03:11, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Done. Thanks for looking after that wiki. Angela 05:38, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Meta tags like other wikis
Hi, is it possible for you to include  in deleted pages like the Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, etc.? It might be a small difference in MediaWiki versions etc. I couldn't find who to ask, so I thought I'd write it here. Thanks, Oh, by the way, can you rename me User:Water Bottle? -- WB 01:09, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * The meta tag change should be possible. I've requested it at 210. We don't currently have a renameuser feature so I suggest you just make a new account and start using that one instead. Angela 05:38, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Oh, is Wikicities running an older version of MediaWiki? It seems that the newer versions do that. Oh, can you remove my name from the Bugzilla? Paranoid problem of mine. haha. -- WB 06:36, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is, and the renameuser extension isn't part of the main MediaWiki code anyway. Your name doesn't seem to be in the bugzilla - just your username, which is obviously going to be recorded on the wikis anyway, even if you change it, since there is a "rename" log. Angela 21:33, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I was talking about the noindex, nofollow thing, and the username instead of my actual name. haha. -- WB 20:31, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope I'm not being too annoying, but is removing my handle from there impossible? The bug report seems pretty unnecessary if Wikicities is going to be updated with new version of MediaWiki soon though. -- WB 02:30, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know if that's possible. Bugzilla isn't editable like a wiki. Since it's not your real name, does it matter? If it really does, please contact Jason since he's the only one who would be able to do this, if it is possible. Angela (talk) 02:39, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not that important, but I contacted him anyways. Thanks. -- WB 08:48, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Um... He doesn't seem to be active. -- WB 08:44, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Did you try emailing him? Angela (talk) 15:37, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea! Thanks. -- WB 00:01, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Wikicity logos
How do you change the logo for a Wikicity? Having the normal logo for a dedicated Wikicity makes it a bit basic, and I want to make the logo better. Can you tell me how please. Thankyou.--M Johnson 02:49, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * You have to upload your image to Image:Wiki.png; and don't forget to protect this image/page! --- Best regards, Melancholie 04:30, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Wookieepedia user(s) of question
User:General Grievous is clearly stated as multiple users on one account, with the intent of using a membership system on Wookieepedia. I find this very odd, and as they mentioned fees for membership, illegal on this site. Your insight is appreciated. [NOTE: I originally posted this on January 2, however was reverted due to a vandal just before me.] -- Riffsyphon1024 05:15, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... I'm not sure if there trolling, being silly, or are seriously trying to do something. I'd just watch it for now and see if they start doing anything bannable. A shared account is pointless since anyone could change the password, which would not then be recoverable (and I'm not willing to reset the password to something else for an account like that if it does get changed). Angela (talk) 12:46, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Knitwiki
I got an email from you notifying my that my new wiki (knitwiki) was available, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. I get a 403 forbidden error when I visit knitwiki.wikicities.com, and it isn't listed in the list of wikicities. Let me know what I need to do to get started.

Thanks!

Rlankenau


 * There was a change after I made this wiki. It is now at http://knitting.wikicities.com/ since we're trying to avoid having "wiki" in the wiki name. Knitwiki will redirect there, but isn't working for the main page for some reason, but does for pages like http://knitwiki.wikicities.com/wiki/A. Angela (talk) 12:46, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Some "noob admin" questions ...
Hi Angela,

thanks for your welcome message. I have recieved the wiki notification email with "Subject: Re: Request for a new Wikicity - clean." on 2005 dec 27th. If that's the one you were referring to, I don't know why it appeared bouncing to you.

May I ask you about a few difficulties that I cannot resolve by myself?


 * How to address the sitenotice in the css? I'd like to give it a distinct background color. Simply adding them to #sidenotice {...} doesn't seem to have any effect.
 * Also, I'd like to have a border around the white "Welcome to Clean City ..." box at the main page, but how to do this? At least, I have found and copied the responsible shared Template:MainStyle1, so I can try to customize it. Unfortunately, inside the style="..." tag, a border specification seems to be ignored?
 * Yet another problem: I have uploaded the Clean City search logo, but as it is shown in the search box it still points to www.wikicities.com. I suppose I have to create/edit a MediaWiki page to let the logo link to the Clean City main page - but humm, which one?

Last, but not least: Which is the best place to ask such questions? I do read around in the documentation and help pages quite a lot, but sometimes I just don't happen to find an answer there. Recently I have bothered Jasonr with some issues, this time I am asking you. However, I'd rather not keep you both busy by personal talk about every little problem I encounter. I am quite sure that many users out there come up with similar questions. Are there more "community driven" talk pages where people from various wikicities share their experience and give support to each other?

Thank in advance you for any help

zooloo


 * Yes, that was the email I meant. I guess it was a temporary bounce and the mail still got through eventually.
 * I just tried editing the sitenotice styles, but I can't see what's wrong. You could try asking on the Community portal to see if anyone else can help.
 * zooloo: Thanks for trying to fix it. This is the first time I have to concern myself with css in detail. Apparently, the !important rule made the difference (to the sitenotice). Unfortunately, distinct coloring didn't turn out to look all that well. Sorry about involving you in dead end work. I've learned something useful thereby anyway, not only for the case of important announcements.
 * Perhaps if you put a div with a style around the white box, you could give it a border?
 * I don't know if there's a way to change where the search logo links to. Can you check with Jason about that?
 * It's fine to ask me or Jason. Other places you might find useful to ask are the Community portal, the Mailing list and the IRC channel.
 * zooloo: I could easily come up with half a dozen new questions already, most of which are technical ones, though. Your pointer to the the community portal certainly will prove helpful, but I might also have to keep bugging Jason for a while. (I am confident the frequency of issues will decrease drastically, once the initial work is done.)
 * Please check your style changes in another browser. I just looked at it in Internet Explorer, and the whole sidebar is missing, so something must be wrong.
 * zooloo: Thanks for telling. I did check in Opera 8.5, IE 5.0 and FF 1.07, with some slight flaws in IE remaining - nothing like a missing sidebar, though. Which IE version are you referring to?
 * Angela (talk) 13:15, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, it looks fine now in IE. Angela (talk) 12:32, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

"Wiki tips" page
Hi Angela: Hey, I'm tickled that you guys liked our "wiki tips" page enough to bring it to the central city. That's very cool; I hope it's helpful for other wikis! We're having a really good time on the Muppet Wiki, this is so much fun. Thanks for setting up such a great service! -- Danny Toughpigs 04:10, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Logo contest
Heh i hate to bother you, because I know you're busy and other people have already bothered you, but when do you think the Logo contest winner will be decided? Thanks :) Also I went on a Slashdot friend adding spree and added you along with a bunch of other people, in case you wonder who the new fan is. --Insertwackynamehere 05:31, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but we're waiting on the lawyers for this since there are copyright & trademark issues to sort out. I hope it'll be possible to announce the winner this week. Angela (talk) 12:32, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * The lawyers apologize for it taking so long. --BradP 16:38, 10 Jan 2006 (UTC)

LOTR could use an active sysop
Please see my self-nomination at http://lotr.wikicities.com/wiki/LOTR:Requests_for_adminship - there's still a lot of mindless blanking from 6 January to be reverted, and we get spam now and then. Our founder FireBird disappeared without trace shortly after setting up. Robin Patterson 05:37, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * I've made you an bureaucrat. Good luck clearing up the wiki. Angela (talk) 12:32, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Articles not appearing in Category list
I'm having a strange problem with categories on the GameBlender 4 Ever Wikicity. I'm trying to add an article to a category using a template, in a similar manner to the userboxes on Wikipedia. When you look at the article Creating A Health Bar it appears to be in Category:Tutorials by goldentaiji, but when you look at the actual category page the article doesn't appear in the list. The template I'm using to add the article is. I know the tags don't work in 1.4 so I haven't used them. I don't understand why the article isn't appearing in the list. Is it a limitation of 1.4? Should I subst: it instead? Would you mind having a look when you get a chance? Cheers. &mdash;Gorgan almighty 11:36, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * replied at w:c:gameblender:User talk:Gorgan almighty. Angela (talk) 13:12, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Site Name
It's me again. I've got the logo down, but I need help with two more things, which are
 * Changing the name of Project pages from ""The Simpsons Wiki"" to ""Wikisimpsons"". Because it was originally created at The Simpsons Wiki, I want to change it. Is this possible? Also;
 * The name of my main page. I've changed it to ""Wikisimpsons Central"" but it stil says Main Page in the top navigation bar. Please help, it will be much appreciated.--M Johnson 08:16, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Account only editing/deletion of accounts and IPs
Is it possible to delete an account or an IP address from a wikicities wiki? If not, is it possible to make it so that only user with account can edit? Kumarhk 12:48, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * The software of Wikicities does not allow accounts or IPs to be deleted. Wikicities are for everyone, both registered and anon. contributors. So I'm afraid that the answer of your second question will be negative. --DCLXVI 13:02, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with DCLXVI. Is there a particular problem your wiki has that leads you to want this? Perhaps there's an alternative solution. Angela (talk) 15:37, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * While it is true, one can go extreme by going to the MySQL and deleting the account there... -- WB 00:02, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * This wouldn't work, since the account will be linked to from page histories. If you just delete it from the database, someone else can wrongly claim credit for those edits. Angela (talk) 00:08, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for fixing some of the spam on the NeoPets Guilds site! --RJ 02:42, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Recommended block
212.100.250.208 hit us this morning. Light & fixable, but annoying. Chadlupkes 15:16, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * I've blocked the URL they were spamming since that's usually more effective than blocking one IP when they can easily come back with a new IP. Angela (talk) 15:59, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly :-)
''The Wikicities:Protection says to only resort to this if there is persistant vandalism. There are alternatives to keep the main page free from vandalism, like moving the content to template pages instead of locking the whole page. There should be enough admins here than a couple of bits of vandalism aren't really a problem.'' Knowledge Is Self | talk. 17:13, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

My Page dosnt exist?
My page was made by you a few days ago so why is it not on the list? Whopper 22:46, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * The list isn't up to date since each wiki needs to be added manually. You can add yours at Template:List of Wikicities if you like, but I'm hoping we will have an automatic list of these in future. Angela (talk) 23:05, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Spam
Thanks for helping out with the recent spam at AIDS Dissent. I'm still the main guy holding down the fort, and I was gone at a conference this past week and wasn't able to do daily checks/upkeep. Thanks! Revolver 01:21, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Danny Phantom
I want my own Danny Phantom wiki because I do not have control over the Nickelodeon wiki!Jake the Croboy 22:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * You can not have control over a wiki on Wikicities. Please see Ownership. If there are problems on the Nickelodeon wiki, please work with the others there to improve it. Angela (talk) 23:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I want to be an admin automatically. Plus, the Nick wiki sucks anyway.63.19.138.109 00:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Being an admin doesn't give you any special rights over the wiki. It is just a way you can clear up vandalism more easily. If the nick wiki "sucks", perhaps we can think of ways to improve it. Have you discussed the problems with the people who edit there? Angela (talk) 03:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * C'mon, I WANT A DANNY PHANTOM WIKI!!!63.19.198.13 04:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * If you are unable to work within a community, such as that at the Nick wiki, perhaps you would be happier with your own wiki where you could prevent other people editing. There are various options for that sort of thing listed at Wikibooks. Angela (talk) 04:12, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

AmaZone wikicity under attack
Dear Angela:

The AmaZone wikicity has been suffering repeated attacks from different IPs: some insert links to porn addresses; others insert long lists of garbage. Is there anything to be done? Thanks. --200.165.233.48 00:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * An automatic clean up script has been written to deal with this. More info soon... Angela (talk) 15:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Wookieepedia.org
Hey Angela, just thought I'd mention that the domain www.wookieepedia.org expires on January 24, if you're still interested in hosting us. Oh, and it'd be great if you could reply to the discussion you started regarding our logo (link) --Imp 15:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Spam Cleanup Script
I see a number of pages that were spammed have been reverted ... with "Spam Cleanup Script" as the User name. Is this something Wikicities has implemented? This is a good thing, yes? ;) http://peace.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Spam%20cleanup%20script

Thanks 16:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * It is something new to cleanup pages that contain URLs that are in the Spam Blacklist. I've asked Tim Starling to post to the mailing list with details about it. Angela (talk) 15:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


 * well alrighty then.
 * I see it didn't seem to work on one page at PeaceWiki, but that you reverted it yourself.
 * And SpamScript just reverted it again. I now see why, and replaced a cjb.net link with one from TinyURL. Thanks. -ts-
 * I thought it might. I hadn't read Spam cleanup script then though. Now you've replaced the cjb.net link, it shouldn't happen again. Angela (talk) 17:06, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Moving away
Hi, Angela,

It appears the dissidents have secured some funding from a donor and have set up their own servers using MediaWiki software. So, I've transferred all the data from the aidsmyth wikicity over to this new (privately-operated, open-source) wiki, and the wikicity will now be inactive. But, the wikicities was invaluable as a place to start! And I appreciate all the time you put in helping me and getting us started! Thanks. (p.s. I don't know if the wikicity should be deleted or just left; if the latter, would it be possible to just post a link to the new wiki, I suppose I could do that on the main page.) Revolver 23:37, 26 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. If you've moved the content away from there, it would proably be best to close the wiki since it's not a topic likely to thrive if its small community have gone elsewhere. Angela (talk) 01:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Alright, you can close it then. All the data is transferred, so nothing will be lost. Revolver 18:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Memory Alpha bot status
Hello Angela! I am User:Alan Del Beccio, a mod on Memory Alpha, and I just created User:DelBeccio-bot (with the assistance of Cid Highwind) and through him I learned that I should see you to get that profile bot status (so that it works invisibly and so forth).

Can I get help with the wikidescription for Right Wing? I'm not sure how to collect the information for the interwiki links.

Deletions of my pages
Two things:First, on Wikicomedy it is mentioned that comedic works are allowed on Wikicomedy. It is not irrelevant to this wiki,

Also, if you continue to jerk and not restore ALL OF those, you have to give their content, because I have not saved pages such as "House of Crab" on anything.

GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU DELETED BACK!!


 * Deja vu. Also Deja vu too. Angela: Beware, if this is Ryan (pretty sure it is) he is 120% clueless. Splarka 23:21, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Carlow Crab is not relevant to any Wikicity. Please stop spamming. You've dumped this stuff on at least 5 Wikicities as well as Wikipedia. It is not acceptable. If you want a copy of the old content, you can get that from the database download. Angela (talk) 23:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Two things. First:Who is Ryan, Splaka? Also, Angela, you changed the whole idea of Wikicomedy. It was originally a place to put comedy material, but you rewrote the main page and messed up someone else's wiki. Damn you. I DEMAND YOU TO RESTORE EVERYTHING, NOW!!! I worked a long time to create what I put there so you BETTER restore it.


 * The wiki is not a place for random stories about crabs. If you want your content, please find another wiki (not one on Wikicities) and I will help you to move your content there. Angela (talk) 03:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Wikicomedy, before you changed the point of it, was for comedy material, which, whether you find it "funny" or not, is still what The Carlow Crab is. Anyway I have a Wiki called "Dannypedia", sponsored by [editthis.info Edit This] where you could put these things. (also, only an inconsiderate jerk would delete all that hard work.Jake the Croboy 03:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Since that's MediaWiki, I suggest you just get the database download and import it there. Angela (talk) 03:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe YOU should do it yourself. If YOU do the work of deleting perfectly relevant material than YOU should do this too!


 * I might have done had you not moved all the pages to junk titles in a crazed vandalism spree. I will report this to your ISP if you try anything like that again. Using open proxies isn't helping you here. Angela (talk) 05:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That was Willy on Wheels doing that. NOW COPY THOSE TO MY WIKI!!Jake the Croboy 23:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That's an amazing coincidence that someone other than you would trash the wiki and write pages like "I wrote half the content of this wiki" at the same time you're complaining about it here. Angela (talk) 00:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about??Barnesthecroboy 02:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Please stop creating sockpuppet accounts or you should consider yourself banned from all Wikicities sites. Angela (talk) 02:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

No username given for Wiki creation
Hello, I just sent the form to create a wiki two days ago. The title of my wiki is "schmeii" but I didn't have username so you sent me a mail and I answered you with saying my username but you didn't aswer although you were active on wikicity.

Haven't heard back regarding new wikicity request, just confirmed my email
Hi there,

Around 1 or 2 weeks ago I submitted the form to request a new wikicity, but haven't heard back yet, and I don't see it on the rejection list either. I just realized that I had not confirmed my email address (which now has been remedied), which might have been what was preventing you from getting in touch with me if you needed more information. Anyways, you can email me or catch me on my talk page. Hope to hear from you soon! --Afker 21:03, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I've sent you an email about this. Let me know if you don't get it. Angela (talk) 00:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for setting it up (-: I'm trying to setup the main page using the subst:wikicities:Main template, however I'm getting an error saying "Table 'alicesoft.transcache' doesn't exist" when I try to use interwiki templates.  So I was going to just copy the template manually, but then the template uses more templates (and which seem to be missing), blah. -Afker 06:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Also is it possible to change the SITENAME to something else? It feels quite awkward to use exactly the company's name (minus the space).  Perhaps change it to "AliceSoftWiki" or "Alice Soft Games"?  Sorry for the trouble. -Afker 07:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Wookieepedia needs
I thought I would let you know the ideas that we had in response to your suggested topic of software changes that Wookieepedia would like. I really appreciate your asking and being proactive in that way. We appreciate your support and your hosting of our community.

You can check out a summary or a of the meeting.

Ideas

 * Changing the look of the site. I assumed the best way to do this is coming up with our own skin?
 * Adding hyperlinks to join meetings. IRC links are currently enabled, but I haven't heard anything yet on the request you submitted for the XMPP link.
 * We will try IRC for the next meeting instead of Jabber
 * Turning the misspellings maintenance page back on
 * Turning the stats page back on

Thanks again for all your help! WhiteBoy 16:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

New Wikicity SciFiTV
Hi Angela, I submitted a request to start a new Science Fiction TV Wiki called SciFiTV but haven't heard back from anyone yet. Just wondering if you could help me out with that. I'm new to Wikicities but one of the major conributors to the Muppet Wiki is my cousin and has been helping me along. I've already contributed to a few pages. Please let me know. User name: Cheetah111 Thanks.


 * Since the TV has not been very successful yet, I suggest you add your content there for now rather than trying to make a new one which would be more specific than that. Angela (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Just a quick thank you note to the darling Angela for her efforts in Valdal-whacking on the Snicklet WikiCity! Thank you our Angel of Wikimedia... --Celestianpower hablamé 14:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

MainStyle1 and Left box / Right box broken?
Hi Angela!

You seem to be the box expert, and I don't understand them; I just use them.

But I was very happy with my use of colored templates MainStyle1, Left box, and Right box on the petdiabetes wiki page here:

http://petdiabetes.wikicities.com/wiki/Curve

Since the side-by-side bordered boxes seem to have stopped working recently, I checked back through my own page's history and found that it hasn't changed at all. I looked through the templates I'm using and they don't seem to have changed much since November either (and my page is newer). Even the very first versions of my page are broken, and I know they were ok then.

All I can think of is that maybe the port to 1.5 has broken the template syntax. Can you please check what's happening when you have a chance, and perhaps let me know on my talk page?

http://petdiabetes.wikicities.com/wiki/User_talk:Steve_and_Jock

Thanks, Steve


 * Shared templates are not working properly since the upgrade, and it might be a few weeks before this is fixed. A quick fix is to copy the templates to your wiki instead of using them from this wiki, which is what I've just done. You type instead of  now. Angela (talk) 10:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! --Steve and Jock

Petdiabetes wiki
This wiki is now fairly mature, is getting good reviews from those who know, and I'm wondering about its place in wikicities. It doesn't seem to be in any categories, or mentioned on the main wikicities page at all. I suppose it could go under Pets and under Health.

It's relevant to human health too, since it has a more comprehensive and up-to-date list of commercially-available insulins (human and veterinary) than anywhere else on the web. There are over 110 insulins listed, with action profiles, links between similar ones, manufacturer warnings, release and discontinuation dates, etc. Since diabetes is still a growing concern among an increasing number of humans, this resource could be helpful.

 * I've put it in Category:Health and Category:Biology. There aren't enough pet-related wikis to start a new pets category just yet. Feel free to add it to the active wikis section of the main page if you like. Angela (talk) 21:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks again! And excuse my thick-headedness.  It never occurred to me to just add it myself!  One of these days I'll learn what a wiki is!  :)  --Steve

Renaming a Wiki
Is it possible to rename a wiki? Some of the users on the BnG forums want to change the name of Wiki Bob and George. Is there something I can do to rename it? --Travis O 17:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I meant the title bar and project namespace. Is there a MediaWiki for them? --Travis O 21:57, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Can you change the title to Bob and George: The Wiki, and the project namespace to Wikibng? --Travis O 03:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * This is done now. Angela (talk) 05:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

New
Make my new wiki I sent in quick! --User:The thing 12:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * See my email about that. Angela (talk) 13:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Search page is borked
Thanks for changing the name, but now that it's changed the search page is different. It doesn't have a prompt to create an article and I can't find the mediawiki to add one. Sorry to be calling on you for tech support. --Travis O 18:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * A new search engine was launched yesterday. See Help:Searching for details. Unfortunately, it doesn't give a red link for the search term, but you can use an inputbox to do that instead.


 * Just type

on a page. It will produce this box:

Please get rid of the ads by google on my wiki. -- 19:23, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
