Secrets wiki
Hello!

First of all thank you for providing this wonderful opportunity and offering to provide help with aesthetic and organization to those who are less proficient with it. I'm an admin and founder on the Secrets wiki (we're a roleplay wikia with content that doesn't stem from any particular pop culture source) and I can't code to save my life.

I was therefore excited to note that our wikia fits your criteria for submission and I have discussed it with the other admins. Unanimously we decided to submit the wikia for consideration, hoping that you can help with the design and clarity of the wikia in general. We have some ideas but we're open to as much or as little input as your team feels comfortable with.

We would be delighted and grateful for your help!

Thank you for taking our submission into consideration.

Best wishes,

Hi, the Roswell wiki is in need of a complete re-skin. The orange is getting old. It needs a new color scheme primarily, I was thinking Blue and White, what do you recommend? The wiki will need help with these things; -- Original Authority (talk) 19:38, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

The Originals Wiki
It's The Originals Wiki (again). This time I need help with an infobox. I'd like to use the same design of The Secret Circle Wiki's character infobox, but I want it go nicely with my wiki with red coloring instead of the green. I already prepared the template on The Originals Wiki, but it's the basic Wikia one so all it needs is to be modified to look like The Secret Circle Wiki's one (with the changes I mentioned of course).

And if it's not too much trouble, I was wondering if the CDT could create headers that I can use for the main page. I'm not exactly sure on what sizes I want them to be, but I'll go with whatever you think is best. They should look something like the official logo, but with different wording of course.



Here's the headers I want the CDT to create:


 * Welcome
 * Books
 * Episodes
 * Characters
 * Cast
 * News
 * Social Media
 * Blogs
 * Affiliates
 * Policies
 * Polls
 * Bureaucrats
 * Admins
 * Rollbacks
 * Chat Mods
 * Featured User
 * Featured Article
 * Featured Media

Thanks in advance for your effort!

"Upload a photo" Problem
Hello, there seems to be a problem with the upload a photo module on the Game Creators Universe Wiki. The problem is that some pictures I upload do not come out with the original dimensions. Instead, they appear stretched out. Here's what I have to go through to even try to get  anything close to the original dimensions and still not have it come out right:



If you can look into this and see if there's anyway you can fix this problem, that'd be great. Thanks

Happy Feet Wiki... Again
Hi there, this is your admin NewMarioFan65 from the Happy Feet Wiki. I know that the background is like 4 years old and it need to be new since 2011. To be sure that put Mumble (on the top left), Baby Mumble (on the top right), Gloria (on the center left), Baby Gloria (on the center right), Ramon and Lovelace (on the down left) and Erik and Atticus (on the down right). And make the characters at least smaller like it is shown as a preview.

Gran Turismo Wiki - Main Page
Hi, I'm Gp75motorsports, the founder of Gran Turismo Wiki, and I'd like for our main page to be redesigned into something like what TESWiki has.

Requirements
'''The requester should either be an admin or link to a discussion with an admin agreeing to the help being requested. If there are multiple active admins, they should all be in agreement with the help being requested.''' I am the founder and therefore an admin.

The wiki should have at least one active admin, meaning he or she has made at least one edit in the last 7 days. That's me!

The wiki should have at least 50 content pages. Several hundred times over.

'''The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins or any other upheavals. It should be a stable, friendly place.''' The last "major upheaval" we had was in 2009 when we elected a bunch of (now inactive) admins. Ever since then, the waters have been calm.

The wiki should be using the welcome tool, signed by the admin(s) (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin). It's set to "@admin."

The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. We have strict, if implicit, policies about uploading obscene content. Anything found offensive would likely be removed immediately and result in a very long ban for the editor/uploader.

Design
Like I said, the design should be the same as TESWiki's, however for the tab bar below the main slider, the background color of the active tab should be red, and if it's possible, its borders should be slanted to the right. The first tab (all the way to the left) would include our "My Home" feature, the tab to its right would ink to the Forum, and then the final two would be "Affiliates" and "Notifications," where we would post notifications to our users, which would replace the yellow text we currently use to send out important messages. Of course, you're free to add any extra stuff you think would make the main page better.

Important: I would like you to set up the new main page on our test wiki first so we can work together with you guys to hammer out any bugs and give the users the opportunity to test things out before we roll the new MP out. Once setup is done I'll import some images to make sure they don't overflow any divs and to make sure things look nice and then post a poll asking users which main page they prefer. If they respond favorably to the new MP, we can begin rollout on the main wiki. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 20:02, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Edgeworld Wiki
Hello, is there a way to put background files on the Special and other namespaces? I'd like to put the ambient OGG under WikiActivity and other files of the admin's choosing in other pages. Alysdexia (talk) 22:34, September 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Alysdexia. I'm pretty sure it's possible to load an OGG audio file on any specific page using JavaScript. That said, I'm not fluent enough with JS to write the code myself, so I would suggest asking for help on the Getting Technical forum section here at Community Central.

Pokemon Wiki
Hello. We were wondering if the Development Team could make us a new background image, as well as a new logo. It is the fact that a new game is coming in several weeks, so we want the site to look more than good. E n e r g y X ∞ 18:08, September 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * Heya Energy X! Thanks much for writing in! We stand ready to assist, and share with you the important goal of having a bit of a cleanup before the new game arrives. However, it's important to us here at Wikia that we get the new theme right. That, to us, means that we take the pulse of the community and get some ideas churning the creative waters. So I've added this section to the forum session you started last week. I've also reopened that discussion, to hopefully get a sense of how best to proceed over the weekend. If you could please rally your troops to provide opinions, that would be extremely helpful!


 * Also, I want to thank you for the extremely community-minded way you've handled yourself so far in that discussion. It's an awesome example of the right way to get the community involved in a request of your Wikia Community Development team! 19:03: Thu 02 Oct 2014

Well, the deal is most, if not all, users lack experience in the design, so we thought asking the experts to do that. E n e r g y X ∞ 13:03, October 4, 2014 (UTC)

Adding images ontop of each other or buttons
Hi, I'm from Ellie Goulding Wiki. I'm just asking but this has always been troubling me. I don't know how to place images or formatting on each other. Take this website for example: http://www.troyesivan.com/, if you hover 'itunes' or 'store', it's a separate formatting from the image. How exactly do you do this? Is there a way because instead of using the formatting for the button obviously you can replace it with an image representing the exact same square with words inside of it.

Another good example is the first slider of http://hilaryduff.com/. See the 'hilary duff' logo? It's separate from the map and every other picture in every slide. How do your overlap the images and choose the position.

Thanks! :) --Azending (talk) 04:58, October 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Easily done, Azending! I'll communicate with you about this at w:c:elliegoulding in the coming days. Thanks for using our handy li'l request system! 18:31: Thu 02 Oct 2014

Elder Scrolls Roleplaying Wiki
Hello. We are currently in need of a clean-up in the Mainspace of our wiki. There are currently too much uncategorized categories, images, etc. that require clean-up.

GTA Liberty
Hey, it's me, AwesomeBoy. Now let's get to the point. There is a template named Template:InsertName. It works, when a user enters a userpage, the user's name is written on Top like 'Hi, ! How are you?'  Like this. But it doesn't work. So could you come to my wikia and fix this? gta-liberty.wikia.com
 * Unfortunately, this is custom javascript that you will find is maintained locally on a per-wiki basis, rather than by Wikia globally. Now, that's not a huge problem — obviously the whole point of this page is to ask for custom, per-wiki assistance. The big problem with that code is that it doesn't work at all in some aspects of the Wikia experience, such as our mobile skin. As such, we currently don't offer support for it. However, you may find people in the "Getting Technical" forum here at Community Central who would be willing to help. 19:16: Thu 02 Oct 2014

Constantine Wiki
Background request:


 * I'd like this image to be used as the background for the Constantine Wiki . The current background simply inadequate for the wiki's style and makes an abunance of the pages on the wiki look unclean and ultimately, unprofessional.


 * If it's possible, I'd like for the red 'Constantine' text to fit in the center of the page (regardless of screen resolution, if possible).



Cheers, OmegaWulfgar (talk) 16:06, October 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hiya :) Thanks for using our handy-dandy requests system! I'm a little confused about your request, because you've linked to the same page twice. Could you please clarify by providing another link to your desired image? Thanks :) 00:43: Fri 10 Oct 2014
 * By the way, you have a couple of easily correctable faults with your application.
 * As stated here, you have to be using the welcome tool, and it looks like you're just allowing to coast on its default values right now. Please try to come up with a more custom welcome for your wikia. Think of the points that you'd like to make to all new users about your wikia, and then write those into your welcome. You'll also likely want to change w:c:constantine:MediaWiki:Welcome-user away from @latest (which could allow Wikia Staff to sign) and towards @sysop, which would allow the local admin who's edited most recently to sign.
 * You've got too many stubs. We here at ComDev define a stub as any page shorter than 200 bytes. And we only allow 20% of your articles to be stubs. Your stubs currently account for 24% of your total articles. Just flesh out three or four of your shortest articles and you should be fine.
 * Please don't let any of this discourage you; it shouldn't take you very long at all to eradicate these two li'l problems. Thanks :) 01:04: Fri 10 Oct 2014


 * Hmm, I was completely unaware that the welcome tool wasn't set, thank you for the notice. As for the abundance of article stubs, the movie, which the wiki was founded from, did not give coherent enough information for most articles to be filled, and, the majority of the stub pages are pages for the TV which has not aired yet. Therefore, I can't make up for the bountiful number of article stubs until the show airs..OmegaWulfgar (talk) 11:47, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

 * I need a custom logo and favicon for this wiki and I don't know how to make one. I would prefer a wordmark which adopts the same font as the official logo, if possible


 * Uploading pictures, I would like to have the Icewind Dale wikia adopt the same system for uploading photos as the Baldur's Gate wiki.


 * Url change, because the wiki is not found on the first page of search results on some search engines, for example google currently.


 * Categories not displaying the number of pages to which the specific category is added to.

New Tricks Wiki
For nearly 8 months now I have been working around the clock to create a rich and vibrant place for fans of New Tricks. I am a huge fan of the BBC show, however I simply do not have the man power to do everything myself within an appropriate time frame. There is 97 episodes (as of 20th Oct 2014) chalk full of info and there is only so much I can do that does not compromise my university studies. Granted, I have learned A LOT since February, and I do not just mean wiki markup, and I am proud of what I have achieved since then. To be honest all I want is more people to help turn the wiki into one that looks professional, has consistent policies and feels vibrant for anyone who wants to learn more about New Tricks.

In short, I am requesting someone to have a look at my wiki and see what I can do to improve it - some admins would be nice! XD

Thank You, Scott Davidson - Founder and Admin of the New Tricks Wiki

U.S.S. Starchaser Wiki
Hello, I have 2 little projects, one is simple and the other complex.

I'm looking to add a category tree like this one one on Templates wiki but i can't figure out how to reuse it. I plan to use it here ...

The complex thing includes a Game Item Icon, with a rarity overlay image, and a popup on mouseover. This is depicted perfectly right here [and conveniently for the same game].

Edit: *flails* omg! JoePlay! It's YOU!!! <3 *goes FanGirl*

Meghan Trainor Wiki
http://meghan-trainer.wikia.com/wiki/Meghan_Trainer_Wiki

Hi! I was wondering if you could help with a new theme for Meghan's new album "Title", not the EP just the Album.

 * Hi Clawdeen Ghoul. To be approved for design help, Meghan Trainor Wiki must have at least 50 pages. When it reaches that point, and meets the rest of the best practices criteria linked at the top of the page (which it currently does), please reply here to let me know, and I'll be happy to add Meghan Trainor Wiki to the approved list.

Clean up
Hello, it's my first time doing this, so I don't really know what I'm doing or if the staff can do this or not. I have this Wiki called Fanon Fairies. So it's quite messed up, so I thought can you clear up all the pages, images, templates and MediaWiki? I'd like to totally start again. Clear the main page too. Thank you so much. You guys rock! One thing more, please do not remove the background and wordmark. 11:14, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

Survivor Wiki
Hi, this is Ian, bureaucrat of the Survivor Wiki. I would like to request for a background image rehash for our site. To give a more ominous, darker feel to the wiki, here is my proposed wallpaper. Feasible? IAmNothing712 (talk) 14:35, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

Auslly & Raura Fan Wiki
Hi, this request is from NikkiSarah. I am the founder/bureaucrat from the Auslly & Raura Fan Wiki. I need a background for my wiki. The old background is not fancy and very boring. The one other thing I need a wiki wordmark. The current one is very unspecific and outdated. I want the background to be bright and have a happy, relaxed feel to it. The wordmark I want it to have the wiki's name "Auslly Raura Fan Wiki" on it, the background would have to be transparent because I have a header behind it, I also don't want the letters to be too big.

NikkiSarah (talk) 11:00, November 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi NikkiSarah. To be approved, please categorize these uncategorized pages. Once that's been done, reply here to let me know, and I'll be happy to add Auslly & Raura Fan Wiki to the list.

The Bin Weevils Wiki
Hello! I reprsent the Bin Weevils Wiki, available in 6 languages and growing fast. Unfortunatley, we are dealing with the by-products of growth. We would like you to help us clean up and be orgonised again, I have tried to but I'm just not good enough. Please help, as altjhough we fill a niche market, we have suprising number of competors and we don't want to fall behind! Kerry Stapleton (talk) 17:28, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

Girl Meets World
Hello! I was hoping you could help me with making some christmas-themed pictures. I've requested here before (this and this) and as explained above we'd like if you could help us make those two pictures more christmasly? I have some ideas. This is the background. Maybe you could add some gingerbreads to the background, add some wreaths or christmas hats to the characters or something like that? If you could, it'd be great if you could change the paper plane all the characters is in, to presents? Like, christmas presents. Also, could you change the background from wallbricks to something christmas-themed? And then also again, could you change the blue on all the characters names (Cory, Maya, Riley, Lucas etc.) to this red color: #C21F1F ? :-)

Then the header. This is the header. Is it possible for you to change the size so it fits the nav bar without touching the nav bar so it doesn't get cut. If that doesn't work, could you use this and change it to something christmas-themed? I'm thinking you use the same background as the background you use in the background, if that's okay with you. Maybe you can add wreaths or christmas hats on their heads or something like that?

Also, on both of these headers. Is it possible that you change the blue in Girl and World to a red christmas color and the purple around Meets to a green christmas color? I'm talking about the logo.

Thanky so much if you want to do this. Sorry for writing this so silly! :P We'd really appreciate this! :D

New logo for TESFanon redesign
Hey! I'm the active administrator of TESFanon. I'm currently giving the wiki a much-needed lift, and would really appreciate a revamped wordmark to accommodate the new colors (I lack the photo editing skill, however). The image I'd like to have converted into the site's new wordmark is File:Eso-logo-flat.png. If I could have the word "Online" replaced with "Fanon" in the exact same style where it looks as though it belongs, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! --Pikapi (talk) 23:29, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Every Witch Way Wiki (again)
Hi, I was wondering if you could make a mainpage for the wiki as the one that we currently have is kind of boring. I'd like for it to be like the Shake It Up Wiki but without the slideshow and the allied wikis. If possible, I would also like the mainpage to have links at the top like the House of Anubis Wiki but in a similar font to the logo. Thanks!

Naruto Wiki Italia, Round 2
Hello. I'd like a little help with infoboxes, because I think I found a way to simplify them, however the results are not quite as I expected. I don't think it'll take long, though there may be some other things (not that I recall anything of the sort at the moment). Many thanks.--Message Wall:JOA20 22:19, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

SNK Wiki
Greetings to the board! The SNK Wiki needs a graphic overhaul, especially regarding a background image. I was wondering if you could help us by creating one? I wanted the background to feature the following characters: Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, Ryo Sakazaki, Haohmaru, Marco Rossi, Iori Yagami, Kaede and Athena Asamiya. These last three are of somewhat lesser importance and not necessarily needed on the picture, but appreciated if their inclusion is possible. Thank you for your attention and service.

Writing and Roleplaying Guild Wiki
I'm quite certain our wiki meets the minimum requirements. With most of the users on the wiki either busy with life or more focused on actually writing and roleplaying things, I find I don't have the time I'd like to clean up and freshen up, and since we've gotten over 200 pages and growing and a spotlight, I'd really like to clean the look up.
 * 1) The problem with the following two "wish" items, is that because our wiki is such a broad topic, I have absolutely zero idea what to do for images
 * 2) Better logo maybe, same font style
 * 3) Better Background image
 * 4) Colour scheme (maybe keep browns and whites but add in something to contrast nicely)
 * 5) css/js clean up
 * 6) Top nav bar organisation

Thanks :)

New Tricks - Infobox help needed
http://ucos.wikia.com

Hi there,

For a while now I have been having issues with getting the infoboxes to display at the very top of an article - any tophats on the page would shunt the infobox downwards.

CzechOut was able to tell me why it was happening (something to do with max width and text-wrapping).

However, after lots of trial and error and looking at similar templates from other wikis, I still haven't managed to fix this - could you please help??

Thank you very much,

Scott

Austin & Ally Wiki
Hi Development Team! I have a very important (and slightly urgent) request for the Austin &amp; Ally Wiki. We would like to have a new background for the Holidays and we would like your help to do it. As far as I know, we fit the criteria (admins agree to this, Special:UncategorizedPages has just been cleared). We have two versions of a background that we'd like for you to try for us. :)

For the first version, we'd like for you to take the current background and add cute little Santa hats to the characters' heads. We'd like the background they are in front of to either be replaced or combined with something like this: http://www.roomwallpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Christmas-Red-Wallpaper.jpg It does not have to be exactly that, we just definitely want snowflakes scattered about the background behind the characters. Then, finally, we would like some tiny Christmas ornaments to be scattered about the background. :) Hopefully this isn't too much!

For the second version, we would like to have the same snowflakes with the red bricks as the promimnent background but instead of the characters in front of it, we'd like to have enlarged Christmas ornaments with pictures of the cast on them going down the background. The ornaments would look like this: http://www.clipartpal.com/_thumbs/pd/holiday/christmas/Christmas_tree_decorations_large_T.png (doesn't have to be exactly that, you can also make them silver and gold colored) And the pictures would be placed on much like how the pictures are placed on these ornaments:

I'd like you to use these pictures to put on the ornaments: Feel free to stop when it visually is too much. :)
 * ,, , (any cute image from this gif, maybe two),  (any image from this gif),  (any image from this gif), ,  (mainly just the logo), , ,  (if space allows, the bottom picture), , (if space allows),  (if space allows)

Thank you so much! This is pretty urgent as the Holidays are nearing and we need this background up for a good amount of time. Version two is the background that we're more leaning towards so it'd be great if you started with that. :) Sorry for the longevity of this, thank you for everything! :)

We wanted help changing our background. All the admins agree. See here for the agreement and the background. It would be great if you could use that background but we understand if you can't. 3cooldog92 (talk) 08:08, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

K.C. Undercover Wiki
Hey! First off, I would just like to thank you for even doing this kind of help for wiki's off all communities. I am here today because I need a little bit of help with a background and header design. You see, when it comes to designing backgrounds and headers, I am probably one of the worst people I know at doing that sort of thing.

Our Wiki is for a new Disney channel show, K.C. Undercover, starring popular Disney actress, singer, and dancer Zendaya. I would love to get a new background and header design sort of focusing on this image.

I believe our wikia if fulfilled of all the requirements.

Thank you!
