I can't log on
Help me! I have just created an account here but it won't let me start a new Wiki, it wants me to verify my E-Mail address first, but it hasn't sent a message despite requesting many verification e-mails. What can I do? Me-Is-Malaysian 06:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, sounds very nasty indeed. But as it's said on preferences page, "E-mail (optional): Enables others to contact you through your user or user talk page without needing to reveal your identity." so you can log in and edit without it, but you do need an e-mail for requesting a wiki, because your wiki is given a mailing list and the staff makes you, the requester, also the admin of the mailing list. But I'd suggest that you go and create a new e-mail account, like on Gmail and add that to your preferences. Other than that, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 06:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Jack! Question:If you delete my redirect to (User:Emily)from the request wikia, would it be possible for me to recreate a new account User:Emily? --Adela 18:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't delete it on requests as I'd need at least sysop powers for that, but you can ask a local admin or a staff member to do it. Anyway, you can create the new account even if that userpage exists. But I see no reason to create another account, that account name is very nice in my opinion. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, anyway the name doesn't matter, but please take a look here: http://beekeeping.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Recentchanges --Adela 20:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, so is User:Emily your account or...do you want to adopt the wiki? --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * User:Emily was just a redirect that I made. Because of that redirect I cannot create User:Emily, because I get the message: Username is already in use. And about the wiki: it's brand new, Angela made it lately. --Adela 21:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirects do not prevent you from creating an account, but username Emily is already taken by another user, sorry about that. Thanks to Datrio for clarification. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, in order to shorten the discussion and to solve the major problem, please do one thing for me. Write a message to a staff mebber and tell him or her to change the group membership for User:Adela from (none) to sysop, bureaucrat at the beekeeping wiki. I will also change the name entered on the request page (Adela instead of Emily) to avoid other problems. Thank you for being so helpful on this wiki! Greetings, --Adela 14:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've made this change, and fixed the problem of the wrong email address being set for the mailing list -- Sannse 16:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That's great, thanks a lot for you help, Sannse. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey there...
Dear J.P.,

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Guesty-Persony-Thingy_RfA <--Interesting...Dragonclaws will vote for someone with the 9th most article edits, but not someone with the 5th most article edits (and 1st most overall edits)? ;-)

Let's chat tommorrow, SUnday.

Cheers,

 * Sure, I'm on #wikia anyway for the most of the day, though I might be afk without being "away", so please, just wait, I'll come back eventually. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:08, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

How long...
...does it usually take for a new Wiki to be approved? Because my old clan wants to start a wiki for the clan and i said i'd do it for them. I can assure you that there will be many new users because of this, but i wanted to give them a timeframe of when it would be ready.

 * Usually about a week or so. You can poke a member of the Community Team if they seem to have forgotten about your request. Also, if the wiki doesn't yet get approved, you can always request it from me off-Wikia and maybe we'll get your wiki started (and later on perhaps moved to Wikia). :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Wiki
Hey Jack. I just wanted to ask, how did you create the site, http://wiki.jackphoenix.com? I'm asking because I didn't see it on the requests wikia, and was curious as to how it was formed. Brain40 19:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Heh, it's not a Wikia wiki. It's on my personal host, jackphoenix.com. It's kinda expensive, too, 70€ per year, but I have nicely space and ability to install a few MediaWiki installations there, too. Feel free to join there and post a confirmation here (as we've had some troubles with vandalism). :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah... Sorry. Well, anyway, thanks for the answer. Brain40 20:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Heh, no problem. Feel free to ask, I won't bite. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Why is Seattle EcoUrban Village Wikia page considered as Spam?
Hi Jack,

I noticed that you kept deleting my page then finally left a brief message as to why you were doing so. You said that the Seattle EcoUrban Village page is considered spam because it's not relevant to Wikia. But there is a list of cooperative residences page on Wikia, http://seattle.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_cooperative_residences, and Seattle EcoUrban Village definitely fits into that page.

I'm new to Wikia, obviously, so friendly guidance is appreciated. Thank you!


 * Hi, sorry if I was being a bit too harsh. :)


 * Anyway, to begin, this site, www.wikia.com is the Central Wikia - a place too coordinate other Wikia wikis (see List of Wikia for all wikis that Wikia hosts). SeattleWiki is a separate Wikia - yes, your addition indeed fits there, just not here. Please ask me if you need more guidance, I'll be happy to help. :)


 * Best regards, --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

cz 24 wiki (hp lock)
hi, thanks for your advice... i'm discuss about it presently with other fans from our club..

but you are right, site is now unlocked .-) (for reg. users.. is it ok?)

Good thing, I just wanted to fix a few small errors in the main page. Naturally, you may fully protect it in the future if it's being heavily vandalized. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a Bundle
Thanks for voting on HowTo:Set Up a Party at the Last Minute. I would give you a fancy template, but we're all out.- S i r Ljlego, CUNTalk


 * Heh, no problem at all. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Broken interwiki redirects
I'm guessing that it was you as an anon on MA/en that reverted the change to the talk page for this user. It's all nice and good to have a really large link on the page pointing them elsewhere... however, those interwiki links just don't work on Wikia, despite some of the Wikia staff using things that way (which isn't the smartest thing obviously...) since these broken redirects actually show up in the broken redirects page.

However, since you liked the big text, I've tried to make the link text really big in the middle of the page for you so that it's hard for people to miss. :) -- Sulfur 16:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it was me. I thought I was logged in, but apparently I wasn't as I had cleared my cookiees recently and forgot to log in again. Thanks for that. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Jack!
Thanks for the welcome. See you 'round the Wikia! -- TomakaLinus 03:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, see you too. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 04:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Creating a Wiki
Hey! This is Spartytime from Halopedia. Me and Blemo are planning on creating a Ghost Recon wiki. We would like to know how to start it.Thanx. 12:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi there. :)


 * So, firstly you need to go to Requests Wiki at requests.wikia.com . Enter the preferred subdomain name to the box (for example, Halopedia's subdomain is halo) and click "Continue". Then it's pretty much self-explanatory. Make sure that you answer to all of the questions. If you do, it's more likely that the wiki will be accepted. The actual request form has good instructions about how to request a wiki, so just follow them. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

How to change the look and make more templates like stub.
Thats the question

Well, you can change the site look by editing the file MediaWiki:Common.css on your wiki to change some things for all users. Have a look at Wookieepedia's Common.css or Wookieepedia's Monobook.css (which is deprecated, better to use Common.css now). They have changed the icon next to your name on Wookieepedia, added background and such - there are many things you can do with CSS tricks! :)

For stubs, I like to keep things simple, so have a look at WarWiki's stub template. It's relatively simple, the "expand this" link works everywhere and the template places any page with it to the category Stubs. Really simple and effective.

Anyway, I hope these help you a little and feel free to ask away if you have further questions, I'll be happy to help you. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I know
You said in my wikia request that a Yugioh wikia already exists. I am aware of this, but my wikia will be completely different. It's o.k. to have more than one wikia on the same topic. Example: there are MANY different Nintendo wikias. Thanks.
