Lost password
I know this is the wrong forum to ask, but is there a MediaWiki user level that allows viewing of user's passwords? If so, this user has emailed me and talked tom me in person about how he made a typo in his password (and didn't type his email in), thus not allowing him to log in to Wikia. Would it be possible to get his password back somehow? If so, pleave me a message so I can give you his email. Chrismessage me 03:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Re:Reply
Thanks very much for replying to my concerns over the image problem. I was beginning to think it was unsolvable, that other users had realized this and that they were consequently ignoring it. Just out of curiousity, what other wikis are experiencing this problem? Could you give an example, please? --Mulder 10:14, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * dnd.wikia.com is one with the same problem. sannse was making a list of all affected wikis. Angela talk 10:50, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Admining James Bond wiki
I was wondering if you could make me an admin at the James Bond wiki as there isn't a community there and there has been very few visitors in 30 days! I'm 009 over there. --Mulder 11:56, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem. Good luck relaunching that wiki. Angela talk 15:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for making an admin there. I was wondering if it's possible to delete the site's entire database as so much of the content has just been copied from Wikipedia, constitutes vandalism or is written about the novels and written stories when I would really like to start anew and make it the James Bond movie wiki with articles written from an "in-universe" point of view, not unlike Memory Alpha, rather than the factual perspective that Wikipedia uses. The only thing that should be kept is the main page, but to remove all the rest of the content is extremely time consuming and possibly unneeded (if the entire database can be deleted). --Mulder 14:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I've replied at w:c:jamesbond:User talk:009


 * Sorry for my deletions; I was just trying to "relaunch" the site, as it receives hardly any visitors and I thought a movie wiki would prove more popular. Also, I don't see the point of copying wikipedia articles to that site (or any other, in fact) as, obviously, that info is already available on wikipedia and copying them means adding links that have nothing to do with any James Bond releases. I've requested a James Bond movie wiki, but as I am unable to use e-mail, I didn't include it in my request; is it essential? --Mulder 15:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It usually is essential since whoever makes the wiki will contact you first about your request. In this case, I think it will be est to start the content on the existing wiki. Angela talk 05:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid that's impossible - the narrative of the books and that of the films were never meant to be artificially fused together; their events and overall timeline is so completely different that, when attempting to push them together, they don't make any sense in any sort of fictional sense. Therefore, it is highly probable that every article written on the "Double-0-Wiki" site will be written from a factual perspective. It would do no good to litter the site with "in-universe" information as it wouldn't make sense with other areas of the site and (if concerning a subject that appears both in the novels and films) it would contradict even itself. --009 11:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The books and films are so entirely different, in my opinion, that it would be best to use the Double-0-Wiki for either information from the books or from the movies, and to create another site that deals with the other media. Both would present the information from an "in-universe" perspective, as factual information regarding the different topics is already available on wikipedia (as established above). --009 12:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * How about having a separate namespace for the books? It doesn't look like many people want to add info on the books there anyway, so it's fine for the main focus of the existing wiki to be on the films. Angela talk 06:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you so very much for coming up with that solution and for again eliminating vandalism on the X-Files Wiki. :) --Mulder 10:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Just out of curiousity, is it possible to delete an entire wiki's database and, if so, how possible? Could a vandal manage to do it somehow or are the databases secure enough? --009 19:53, 20 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm reasonably sure a vandal couldn't do that. I'm not aware of any bugs that severe in MediaWiki ever, and smaller issues than that are fixed pretty fast. Even if they could, we have offsite backups now since we have two colos, so there's no need to be concerned. Angela talk 01:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Stats
Hi, maybe you will be interested in this table. Szoferka 01:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link. --Angela talk 11:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Big project
Hi Angela, I'd like to show you This project, and ask you for some advice. Is something like that possible? Do you know how I could start such a project? Should I do it or is it better to keep every wikia's things on that wikia? Answer on the project's talk page if you can. Thank you and Ciao! --Let&#39;s 14:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry for asking you this, with all the things that you have to do... I'll go to the forum. --Let&#39;s 20:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


 * No need to apologise. I just didn't have a chance to comment on it yet. The forum is a better place to get feedback though. Angela talk 06:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Math
The math wikitext doesn't work for me. Why? Example: $$1+1=2$$ Thank you --blogadmin 17:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Inez has just fixed this. Angela talk 08:51, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Interwiki for the Inciclopedia
Hi Angela! I'm a user of Incicolpedia: the spanish Uncyclopedia.

I was wondering if you could change the interwiki link to Valenciclopedia, because it appears as "catalá" but I would like it to appear as "Valencià"

Thanks for your attention--[Fer] 20:00, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It's not something I can change myself, but I'll add it to the list of things the technical team are doing. Another Inciclopedia bug was recently fixed though, and that wiki now appears on the wiki stats. Angela talk 05:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks to the tech team for fixing the bug!--Rataube 15:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Namespace name on pl.wikia
How about changing name of pl.wikia.com from "Wikia Poland" to "Wikia Polska"? "Polska" is "Poland" in Polish and it will be easier to find in google nad more familiar to people. If you say yes, it should be: Wikia Poland -> Wikia Polska Dyskusja Wikia Poland -> Dyskusja Wikii The second choice to to avoid full name, but it could be also "Dyskusja Wikii Polska" if it's needed. Szoferka 01:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Memory Alpha issue
Angela, you may already be aware of this discussion on Memory Alpha, but if not, I thought it might be of interest to you. The condensed version is that someone want a page about them on MA deleted and potentially blocked from being recreated. I don't know if there are any potential legal ramifications pertaining this issue, but the consensus of the community is that the information is 1. minimal 2. publicly available from a number of other sources 3. pertinent to our stated goals and mission, and therefore 4. should not be deleted. It also leads to a larger discussion about what to do if someone doesn't want (for whatever reason) to have an article about them on MA (or any other wiki, for that matter). I'd be interested in both your personal and Wikia's official opinions on this. Thanks! -- Renegade54 14:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC) (MA admin)


 * I think the way WikiFur handles this is very good. See w:c:furry:WikiFur:Personal exclusion. Angela talk 06:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Job Queue
Hello Angela, Esemono from Halopedia here. Our Job Queue doesn't seem to be updating with our maintence backed up since Oct, 17. Looking at this page Help:Job_queue it says you can run the job queue manually by running maintenance/runJobs.php is this something we can do or something you can do? -- Esemono 13:07, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * John said that it's something only the tech staff can do. The issues is related to them being in the middle of transfering the cron jobs between colos. We've hired a network consultant who will be able to help with this next week. Angela talk 15:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks good to know its being taken care of -- Esemono 01:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

"Wikia messages"
I'd like to point out that the logo to the Wikiality Wikia includes the Wikipedia logo, which is copyrighten. While I'm not sure about fair use/parody, it is technically copyright infringement. -- Zanimum 18:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it's fair use since it's a parody, but I've pointed Jimmy to your message so he can decide if the Foundation cares about this. Angela talk 02:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * And he's passing it on to Brad. Angela talk 03:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Blocking IP
Hi, Angela! On Oct, 13 04:43 you block IP's class numbers 213.76.96.0/20 on Nonsensopedia for one week. It's not fair, because this IP's are dynamic dialup adresses (see: ). I can't edit this Uncyclopedia :( Please, unblock this IP's class numbers.

BTW: Why new URL's containing "wikia.com" are suspected for spam??? It is absurd! :) Sorry for my bad English. 213.76.98.74 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Wookieepedia Userpage

 * Hello Angela. FYI, a template fetch or something like that failed on your Wookieepedia userpage. I'm no techie, so you probably have a better understanding. P.S. I once mistook a different Angela on Wikia for you. Oops. I go by Atarumaster88 on Wookieepedia.


 * Thanks for pointing it out. It's a bug with shared templates that is often fixable by purging the page. Angela talk 02:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

To many user names
Every time I type out my wikia user name. I have a new user page. How can I put them all on one page or is it not possible?


 * What do you mean? Are you getting the capitalization right? Or do you mean you have to make a new page for each wiki? Angela talk 02:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Ban problem at STExpanded
Thanks for the help. I didn't know what to do. --Kevin W. 13:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Blocked?
heya, I'd like to know why i'v been blocked, seeing that iv not even begun posting here. thanks~


 * Since you just posted here, you're not blocked on this wiki... Could you give me some more details about where you think you're blocked? It's most likely because you share an IP with someone who is blocked. --Angela talk 10:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Sysop
Can I get a sysop and how can I get a sysop to the Futurama Wiki? --Bender Bending Rodriguez 17:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
