Community Central:Report a problem

Lost
 * See also: Talk:MediaWiki 1.5 for problems related on the January 17th upgrade, and Uncyclopedia problems.

This page explains how to report a problem relating to any Wikia.

Copyright violations
If you are the owner of content that is being used on Wikia without your permission, then please see designated agent for details on how to request the removal of this.

If you merely suspect that content on a particular page contains a copyright infringement, then you may replace the text with the boilerplate copyright infringement notice text such as the one found at Template:Copyvio. Informal queries or requests relating to copyright matters can be sent to Wikia using this contact form.

Article content
Everyone can edit articles and other pages on Wikia. If you see something incorrect with a page just use the edit link and correct it. To talk about ways to improve a page further, or to report a problem on a protected page, use the discussion tab displayed when you are viewing that page, and then add a comment there.

Software problems
To submit bug reports and feature requests, please use our bugzilla bug tracker. If the problem is generally with MediaWiki, rather than with the Wikia set up, you should use the bug tracker at bugzilla.wikimedia.org instead.

You can also contact Jason Richey directly, or ask a question on the technical support page.

If the site is completely down, please see the off-site status page at openfacts.berlios.de.

Other problems
Other problems with the wiki, content, or with another user, should be dealt with by the community on that wiki. Many Wikia will have a central community area, such as the community portal where you can report a problem. If not, it is traditional to use Talk:Main Page of the wiki in question to talk to the community.

To talk to an individual user, go to their user page and follow the discussion link (page top) to leave a public message, or e-mail this user link (page left) to send them private e-mail.

If you find the problem is not solved after you have contacted the community, you can address your problem to the wider Wikia community at talk:community portal.

Contact details
If you can not solve the problem using the above means, you can contact Wikia using the Special:Contact page on any Wikia.

"Jump to: navigation, search" shown on tokipona.wikia
"Jump to: navigation, search" is shown on tokipona: below h1.firstHeading! --84.156.123.181 20:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Furthermore there is  on the left side (below toolbox, under "wikia"); see Main_Page e.g. (Note: on Special:Recentchanges it's OK) --84.156.123.181 20:22, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

IP addresses are not always correct
My address is wrong on: http://www.wikia.com/index.php?title=Talk%3AWikicities_relaunches_as_Wikia&diff=30241&oldid=30240

The correct one is 84.156.123.181 (#Wiki footer), and the wrong one is 84.40.25.240 (#Search.wikia). How does this come? --84.156.123.181 01:25, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Favicon not shown in Opera browser
The favicons of (all?) wikia are not shown when using Opera (the icon on the left side of the URL address bar of the browser). It works with Firefox, but Opera seems to has its problems with the favicon redirection, see www.wikia.com/favicon.ico. At the given URL there maybe should be a copy of the favicon, then it would work with Opera, too. Or is there a different kind of redirection (the favicon of the central wikia is stored at http://www.wikia.com/images/6/64/Favicon.ico)? Is this a bug of MediaWiki or a bug of Opera 8.5x? --84.156.94.54 20:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * BTW: Opera shows me some kind of an error message: "302 Found"; Firefox redirects me to the image automatically! --84.156.94.54 20:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * is the redirect that is being used. It is technically an http status message, meaning the location of the document is currently elsewhere. Opera doesn't seem to support it for favicons. I don't think it is a bug, just a hack that isn't 100% Splarka 04:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
