Please add new messages to the end of the page.

#wikia-halo
You registered #wikia-halo for us, 27 weeks ago... shortly after, cchristianTP registered #halopedia, and that's what the community chose to use officially, so now #halo-wikia is just sitting there with no visitors, and nothing telling them to go to #halopedia. Because of that, you're the only person on the access list, so there's nothing that can be done to get people to the right place, apart from sitting in there waiting for visitors... so when you get the time, can you please set mode's +if #halopedia? Thanks! =D -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 21:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


 * After poking around a bit, I noticed that #wikia-halo is also in the list of channels accessible from CGI:IRC, and is the first channel listed at http://irc.wikia.com/halo/, instead of #halopedia. If you could fix that while you're at it, it would be *much* appreciated. Thanks! =D -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 03:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Same with Halo-Fanon. Please add #Halo-Fanon on the list and take away wikia-halofanon. Thanks, H*bad (talk)

Help!
Hi Angela,

I need help on two wikis

On egamia is there a way to make a bot to auto categorize specific gaming platforms on game pages which is determined by the categories in the section "platforms =" on the infobox template? I know there is probably a way because wikipedia is well categorized.

On egamia we use to have a bot which counts the all the games we had on the site. Is there a way to count the games

On orchids wiki I also have a similar problem. Counting the links under Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Infobox would solve the problem. Is there any wiki text that does this?

Happy holidays,

Burnout Paradise wiki
Hi i am the parkster and i have requested a new wiki for the new game; Burnout paradise. It said that the wiki, if accepted, would be made in two days since the request was first posted but now, it has been about four days since the request started and i have had no feedback on the subject at all (to do with it's sound creation) and so i don't know what step to take next as it is too risky for me to advertise and prepare, if i don't know whether the wiki will actually be accepted. Can you please message me on what is going to happen so i am clear about my next phase of action. Thank you: ''' The Parkster "I'm all ears" "my stuff" "Something else to say?" 21:01, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The wiki is now at burnoutparadise.wikia.com. Sorry for the delay in making this. A lot of people were away over Christmas. Angela (talk)

My IP has been blocked
Hi, Angela! When I try to edit some pages, appears a message which says that my IP has been blocked because user:For great justice and epic LULZ used it for vandalize. It's very extrange because it only appears in existing pages, and it show my an IP that it's not mine ( 10.10.20.183, and my IP actually is 79.146.124.103) --Graimito Discusión 15:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * This was due to users being assigned a Wikia IP instead of their own and has now been fixed, so you should be able to edit normally. Please let me know if you can't. Angela (talk)


 * Thanks --Graimito Discusión/Talk 11:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Move from Scratchpad
How can I move pages from our mini wiki over to the new full wiki? Thanks Pb30 05:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I've done this. Angela (talk)

CreatePage
Hi Angela, not sure if it's already on the burner, but the buzztown wiki reminded me to inquire that Wikifactory script needs adjusted to remove the deprecated Special:Createpage from MediaWiki:Navlinks. -- 06:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've removed it from the starter wiki which is what gets imported to new wikis. Angela (talk) 11:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Broadcasting Wikia name
I don't want the name changed from "Radio-TV Broadcast History" to something else. I want it changed to that form. Currently it comes up as "Radio-TV broadcast history" (small "b" and small "h"). I want it to be "Radio-TV Broadcast History" (capital "B" and capital "H"). Is this clearer now? --- BruceG 14:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I hadn't thought about the project namespace, but I think the answer is yes, change it to Broadcasting. -- BruceG 15:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

pl.mightandmagic
Thank you very much for your help, but one thing is incorrect. In the Wikia's name, the genitive ("Mocy i Magii" - of Might and Magic, Might and Magic's) is used incorrectly there. Nominative ("Moc i Magia" - Might and Magic) should be used. But as it is understandable for Poles, it's not very important case, so I'd be pleased if you simply do this if you have really more time to spend in work ;) Michał 15:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

New forums at ChristianMusic
I saw someone changed that link you mentioned at c:ChristianMusic:MediaWiki:Navlinks. I did not know that page existed until then. Thanks. Other changes I asked for have not been made yet. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Are there any problems remaining other than the favicon? Angela (talk) 10:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Several.
 * I have no access to the Music forum. All I see on that page is "You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum."
 * I asked for some changes via e-mail that weren't implemented:
 * New/Renamed forums:
 * Problems and Suggestions group would become "Administration".
 * Problems and Suggestions forum would become "Announcements" and would keep the existing topic. That forum would be read only to everyone but me.
 * New forum: "Forum Sandbox" -- Would work like a normal Wiki sandbox. All posts need to be automatically deleted after 1 day.
 * New forum: "Problems"
 * New forum: "Suggestions"
 * Forum Descriptions:
 * Administration:
 * Announcements: "All the latest news on the Christian Music Wiki"
 * Problems: "Got a problem with the Christian Music Wiki or its forums? Discuss it here."
 * Suggestions: "Did you come up with a way to make the Christian Music Wiki look or function better? Perhaps you have an idea how to attract new editors and/or visitors.  Bring it up here.  Details will tend to be appreciated, but all suggestions will be considered."
 * Forum Sandbox: "Learn how to post in these forums here. All posts will be deleted after 24 hours."

Double toolbar patch
Hi!. As you know, on MW1.12 wikias, on Monobook there's a double edit toolbar. I don't know when it will get fixed (as it isn't an emergency) but if you think is good, there's a code that can be put in MediaWiki:Global.js to patch it until it gets fixed. It also prevents the MiniUpload button to appear, since it's broken. If no, there's no problem, I'll put it in the forum so individual wikis could patch it if they want, just wanted to have a more global solution and the patch could be removed also globally when gets fixed. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 20:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Gruntipedia IRC channel
Hi, many of the users on Gruntipedia have been asking for our IRC channel, #gruntipedia, to be put on CGI:IRC. Could you help out? Also, I am the founder of the wiki, but did not register the channel, so could you make me the channel contact please? The current contact is Manticore.

Thanks, Simon rjh

two things
Coming across some vandalism on NSider wiki I noticed that the licensing information on edit pages had a link error: "You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION! Once you submit materials to the NSider Wiki, they are released under this license."

There is no active admin on that wiki, so I was wondering if you could fix the link?

Search
Also, after some chat with the community on #searchwikia and the approval from Jimbo, it would be best that ConfirmEdit for new external links be added to search.wikia to help filter spambots from real people creating mini articles. If you would find some time to turn that on.

Thanks a lot! :) -- 07:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: OggHandler
I'm afraid that the example use of OggHandler here doesn't seem to work. - Greenpickle(talk)

It still doesn't work. I know my computer has the appropriate plugins, as it works for me at Wikipedia. The error given is  Not allowed http://images.wikia.com/genealogy/images/b/b1/%27s_Kitchen1.2.ogg , so there must be some installation error. - Greenpickle(talk)


 * If I may add here, IE 7, as well as Firefox, with Windows Vista and the Quicktime player that is installable from the link, works superbly. However, the advised Java player still gives the same message as Greenpickle mentioned.--Prezintenden(talk) 14:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

My Latest Wiki Request
Hi Angela

I recently suggested a wiki that would be for the purpose of helping new users see the benefits of learning and using wiki software. I called it "Wikia Testimonials". To be honest this is not what I would spend my valuable time maintaining but I thought it was a good way to get some of you interested. If you see my point regarding spreading the word. A large number of new users are quite puzzled by what goes on here. Myself included. But I like the way the software handles so much that I wanted to encourage you to consider adding a testimonials link. I know this is open source and the word Testimonials is often associated with commercial products so maybe there is a better way. In the meantime I truly believe the timing is right for this idea now that some poor reviews have surfaced.

Hiya, me again
I was hoping for a while now that someone else would step up to being an admin for WikiStates, but that's apparently not going to happen. I didn't want to seem annoying (I've already requested a position of adminship on two Wikias), but now I really need to ask again. If administrating three Wikia sites is too much, in your opinion, I can easily give up adminship on one or both of them, since they don't get a whole lot of traffic anyway.

Administrator on Search Wikia
I would serve as an administrator on Search Wikia, if you will have me. Fred Bauder 21:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
