How to Program Wiki
Hello Community Development Team. I'm Codyn329, an administrator at How to Program Wiki. I'm interested in receiving help with content creation and/or organization. We have around 57 pages, and although I've built very strong reference pages that I think should help users. I need help writing tutorials, and expanding them a bit more. It's hard for me because doing it alone, wouldn't make much progress. I, fortunately, know users who could help, and so I asked them, but unfortunately all of them are busy. I already know how to use HTML, CSS, and MediaWiki and Wiki related subjects. In fact, I've been practicing HTML for pretty much 19 months, MediaWiki for 19 months, and CSS for about 7 months. For the Wiki, I want to aim to teach these languages to other users and help out.


 * HTML / CSS
 * jQuery / JavaScript
 * HTML DOM
 * MediaWiki and Wikia Markup
 * PHP
 * Python
 * API
 * Ruby
 * XML and other Sub languages

Unfortunately, I don't know all of these subjects, and I still want to find users who do know these and create a huge community. Could you help in producing more traffic, in content creation and improvement, and also getting the users to stay?

Thanks again! Codyn329 (talk) 00:16, July 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Codyn. The wiki's organization is in good shape and that main page looks great! Besides wiki markup, which the wiki has covered quite well, the ComDev team doesn't have enough (or in some cases, any) knowledge on the other topics listed to be qualified to contribute tutorials and such. To help get inspiration for writing and structuring tutorials, I'd suggest looking at w3schools.com, which you're likely already familiar with. As for getting and keeping more users, there is some good tips and advice at Help:Attracting contributors.

La-Mulana Remake Wiki
Hello. I'm requesting community development help for the main page and/or style of the La-Mulana Remake Wiki. This is a wiki dedicated to a series of La-Mulana video games, particularly the newer remake versions.

I'm the founder and admin of the wiki, and the wiki has a lot of content as well as recent activity caused by yet another release of the game on Steam. The wiki could use help engaging new viewers, though, and I have yet to find another contributor who visits regularly enough to be another administrator.

--Statueofmike (talk) 04:27, July 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Statueofmike. The wiki is in good shape, so I added La-Mulana Remake Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  20:58, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Payphone Wiki
Please enable maps on the payphone wiki. Maps is a root of the wiki, pinpointing location. I've completed the category infrastructure of ZIP codes, area codes and cities, states. The next step is adding 14,000+ payphone article entries, and I'll need maps enabled before that. Payphone Wiki Administrator 19:08, July 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * What is this page about?


 * I have recently expanded the scope from a collection of payphone locations to a comprehensive Reverse Telephone Directory wiki. It's currently as originally planned but just in its infancy a WIKI database with over 200 ARTICLE entries - a collection of payphones indexed by telephone number. When maps is enabled and the ZIP codes, Area codes and cities, states categories are completed, then I'll begin converting records from http://payphone-project.com/numbers/ into articles on the wiki.


 * http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Thumbwrumbler82 : Thanks for asking. Your answer is in the title. Did you visit Payphone Wiki? If you did, you wouldn't have felt compelled to ask what the title answers - a wiki of payphones - or ask what the main page describes as well as how to create a detailed article. Please learn the difference between a wiki and a page, a record and an article.


 * Anyone who passes near a payphone is encouraged to grab its phone number and document it, stubs are welcome. Visit Payphone Wiki to learn how. Payphone Wiki Administrator 18:24, July 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi DisneyWizard. Sorry for the late response. The Maps extension is now enabled on Payphone Wiki. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  21:10, August 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks JoePlay, maps extension working better than expected, and I'm now incorporating them in the remaining categories of individual ZIP codes and Cities as well (10 days left on that infrastructure.) Thanks Wagnike2 for the http://payphone.wikia.com/wiki/File:Wikia-Visualization-Main.png image of an urban bank of payphones. [We can archive this payphone wiki discussion from Community Central talk - requests, having satisfied the assistance request.] Payphone Wiki Administrator 23:44, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi Ray. In order to meet the best practices criteria linked at the top of the page, there are two things on the wiki that need to be addressed. First, these few uncategorized pages need to be categorized. Second, the amount of "stubs" (short pages that are less than 200 bytes) can be no more than 20% of total pages. The wiki has 50 pages, so the number of stubs must be 10 or less. Once those things have been dealt with, reply here to let me know, and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved list.

Divergent Wiki
Hello Community Development Team. I'm requesting for a spruce up of Divergent Wiki's Main Page. I'm one of the admins of the wiki and another admin knows of my desire for a revamp of the page. The Wikia focues on the Divergent series by Veronica Roth as well as the upcoming movie. I was hoping that the Content Portal can be revamped, as well as adding the movie banner or image into it. Overall, the main page needs a better design to invite more readers.

I think the Wiki meets the criteria.

Glee Wiki
Hello, we were wondering if we could have a new skin for the Glee Wiki. We were promised a skin 1 year ago, but we never received that, and with the new season right around the corner, it would be nice if we recieved help from the staff to give the wiki a new look (background and colour scheme).

EDIT: I was thinking a main light blue background with yellow buttons sort of like this. For the backgrounds, in the past we've used character promo pictures, and the character pictures for this upcoming season were released not too long ago, so it'd be great if you could encorporate that into the new skin (we'd love it if it looked a little different from the skin we currently have).

Thank you!
