Shrek wiki
I run the Shrek wiki and would like to be able to request a spotlight by the time the next movie comes out after Christmas.

Prototype wiki
I recently adopted the Prototype wiki and wanted to request a new background. I couldn't find quality images of the two main characters of the game. I recently found on the prototype 2 website. I tried to add Mercer (right side) to the image but it didn't turn out well. Can anyone help us with a new background? I'm also open to any changes/suggestions about organizing the main page (since I haven't completed the contents section). Thank you. Vatsa  11:33, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

The World of Cars Online Wiki
Hello, I'm an admin at The World of Cars Wiki and I like what you have at the D.Gray-man wiki. I would like to have a I kind of "line of fire" under the header where it is written wikia, start a wiki, etc. Like the Grayman wiki, which I mentioned, there is a picture of a guy right near the wiki activity button. So i would like the "fire" to be like that but right under the header. And it would not cover the whole area, but only a line right under the header. I know this sounds wierd, but you might have understood by now. So could you please do this in the World of Cars Wiki?

 * Hi Mcharshy. The only thing The World of Cars Online Wiki needs in order to meet the best practices is to put these uncategorized pages into one or more appropriate categories. Once that has been done, leave a message here stating so, and I'll add the wiki to the approved list.

 * Hey there, I've done all the categorizing. And because the data is cached it isn't updated for me. So I had to double check it all. Some of them also had to be deleted because they weren't related to the game and stuff. So it's all done.


 * Update:Oh, I forgot to tell you. I don't want a new bg as the existing background is perfectly fine.

Ao no Exorcist Wiki
Hello, I would like to request a theme for the Ao no Exorcist Wiki. With image as background tile. Also could you make it with image as the background on the left side. Or with THIS image. but I think it would look better if you put the image below with another one which I can't find. Which is with the other character like in the first picture. I will try to find it if I can.DSM144 19:00, May 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi DSM144. Be sure to read the best practices criteria. There are a few things the Ao no Exorcist Wiki needs to do in order to be approved, such as making sure there are no uncategorizes pages, reducing the amount of stubs (short, incomplete articles), and reaching the 100 article milestone - only 10 more to go! When these things have been completed, come back and leave a new message, and I'll add Ao no Exorcist Wiki to the approved list.

Survivor Wiki
Hi! I have been the new admin of the Survivor.wikia site, thanks to Ohmyn0. The 100kb thing is so limiting, so I kinda need somebody like you to help me make my wiki makeover. Since April, I'm trying to save the site from bad edits, unecessary pages and fanfics that have been placed there as articles. I am halfway over from making over the articles, finishing the first eleven seasons and currently working at the twelfth.

Our current wallpaper is the Survivor 10th anniversary buff, and i'm getting tired of it. I kinda want to have a darkly-wallpaper with Jeff Probst (preferably a picture probably taken by sunset). The Main page i think needed some overhaul. If there some disconnect, The wiki logo needed some change to fit the new wallpaper. Thanks. Iankevinsevilla 23:46, May 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Iankevinsevilla. The only thing Survivor Wiki needs in order to meet the best practices is to put these uncategorized pages into one or more appropriate categories.

Hello. I would like to post this request for the Tak and the Power of Juju Wiki. I adopted the wiki many months ago, and I created my own background and wordmark.

The inFamous Wiki
Hello there good sir! I am War Clown, active bureaucrat of the inFamous Wiki, here to make a request. After running several tests for some background images at the wiki (which all ended with either failed or mediocre results), me and some colleagues thought it was best that we leave it to your awesomeness. I'm pretty sure the wiki has met the pre-requisites for a request so, I hope you can help us with the background design. Design the BG with what you think is best, though several colleagues have this image in mind as a suggestion for you to use.

John Carter of Mars wiki
Hello, I would like some help getting barsoom.wikia.com into shape! The subject matter of the wiki is the connected universe of Edgar Rice Burroughs mars, venus, pellucidar, and tarzan series. But the emphasis is on the mars series. John Carter of mars is likely to see a huge boom soon, as there are two ongoing comic series, with two more series on the way (one in july and the other in september!). and it isnt just comics, the first three books of the series are being reprinted (a princess of mars, gods of mars, and warlord of mars) with rather attractive covers. Now here is the most important parts! There is a movie based on the books coming out in less than a year, it is being made by Disney and rumors are abound that there will be a trailer released during comic-con. So I really want to get the wiki in shape! ralok 21:06, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
