Religion
allright. I will move all of my religous content into the religion area if you tell me how to move it.Tyluthan 22:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

81.77.17.119
I've had to revert a couple javascript vandalisms done by this IP so far. Once on theDemocracy wiki, and again on the Email wiki. And I think Mindspillage had to revert the same thing earlier before I could figure out how to get around it. The javascript creates a message box claiming that Democracy is Gay. Having caught it on a second wiki, I'm thinking it might be worth checking on where else the IP has struck.--Kirk 00:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting this. The only wiki he still had unreverted edits on was dragonball. Angela (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

OSSwiki Namespaces
Hi, could you please change the project namespace of both de.oss and oss to OSSwiki for a consistent look. The current namespace for de.oss (Free and Open Source Software Wiki) is a little too long. -- Muffin 09:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Addition: Having an extra Glossary(en) / Glossar(de) namespace for explaining technical terms like FTP might also be useful. -- Muffin 15:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll reply at w:c:de.oss:Benutzer Diskussion:Muffin. Angela (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

News box
Hey. I've translated MediaWiki:News box into Polish, but the Polish version it's viewable only here and on pages where default langauge is not Polish. On all wikis in Polish newsbox is still in English. Do you know what's wrong? Szoferka 03:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll have a look later today. Last time this happened it was just a caching issue and it started working by itself after a few hours, so maybe that'll happen again. Angela (talk) 03:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not cache, I've transalted it a 12 day ago and still nothing. Szoferka 03:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. I've reopened 161. Angela (talk) 02:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Bureaucrat at Stargate Wikia
Hi Angela! I'm an admin at the Stargate Wikia and wants to make Marco Polo an admin as well. He has earned it, but somehow I don't have the priviligies to make him an admin. Since the "leader" of Stargate Wikia is nowhere to be seen, I wonder if you could make me a bureaucrat so that I can make Marco Polo an admin? Thanks in advance for anything you can help me out with. All blessings! Peter R 09:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC) (Answer at my Stargate talk page)
 * Hey Angela, thanks for helping out by setting Peter R's status to beaurocrat. However, Peter said he would be on vacation and I don't think he'll be around for a while. So can you sysop me directly? —Marco Polo 20:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure. I'll do that now. Angela (talk) 01:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Shorthand subdomain
How can I create a shorthand subdomain for stargate.wikia.com like sg.wikia.com? I know it can be done, because w:c:ff redirects to w:c:frequentflier.


 * ff only redirects because the wiki was originally at ff but later moved to frequentflier (ff should actually have been reserved for a wiki in Fula). We usually try to avoid using language codes as the subdomain since we're saving those to be translations for the Central Wikia. For example, the Polish Wikia base is pl.wikia.com. It's possible we'll want the Sango version at sg.wikia.com one day. Also, redirects are only added when necessary (like when a wiki has moved) and not just to make a shorter URL since it can be confusing both for readers and search engines to have multiple locations for the wiki.

Image Uploading
Hello Blipo. This is the Central Wikia, so I don't think images like Image:Gather.png are relevant here. Did you mean to upload these to a different wiki? Perhaps you could find where you're meant to be from the List of Wikia. Let me know if you need any help. Angela (talk) 05:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well damn. I don't know what I'm doing here! My friends said, "make a wiki for us!" So I did. I have no idea what I'm doing; I found an image upload function and uploaded my images. Could you explain what I did wrong, and what I should do? I made a wiki page on the Scratchpad, |here.

How do you use in Wikia?
I am customizing my wiki and seem to have hit a wall when I try to add the add character box on the bottom of Wikipedia's edit page to mine by copying MediaWiki:Edittools from Wikipedia to my wiki. The edit box uses scriptlets embedded using a  This confirms that without special provision, the only extensions allowed are: 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', and 'ogg'. It also mentions php coding, so I know that only people with access to the database, like [ staff], can do the necessary adjustments. What do you think? —Marco Polo 12:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I've replied at D'ni. Angela (talk) 12:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, the site is very old and in at least GDFL, if not PD. But I guess it would just be best if I linked to the site instead of uploading it myself. Thanks! —Marco Polo 13:01, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
