Hunter.wikia.com
Can you change this wikia's name into Hunterpedia instead of granny wikia? It is a dead wikia that i want to adopt Kouseki 22:57, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Also can you delete all the articles on it, theres only two. Kouseki 22:59, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Or, can u just change the wikias name intoo hunterpedia instead of granny wikia, and can you delete pages when your admin. if so, i will become admin.Kouseki 13:01, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Kouseki -- I've changed the wiki's sitename for you. To become an admin, just continue creating new pages and editing the wiki to show you're committed to the project, and leave a request at Adoption requests, and we'll take care of it right away! — Catherine (talk) 17:41, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi chaterine, how are you

do you like me, i like you


 * Hello Muhammad, thanks for the nice words, I like all the kind editors at Wikia! It looks like you are new here -- we have a lot of wikis so I hope that you have found something fun to work on editing! — Catherine (talk) 17:41, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Forum
I am Ramsey Collier and am on the Parks and recreation wiki. First off, let me say thank you for your very polite offer to help new Wiki users. second, when I was visiting Zeldapedia they had a forum, should Parks and recreation have one? Also there is an article on a band in the wiki and there is an official website that has its music but I read it was bad form to put an exernal link in an article should I put it in. Ramsey 07:42, January 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * The wiki has a forum at http://parksandrecreation.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Index -- it's even linked in the sidebar menu -- but it appears no one has been using it. Please feel free to start some discussion topics and invite others to participate!


 * What external links are acceptable in a wiki depends on the community, but in general, Wikia wikis are much more accepting of a variety of external links -- no one wants spam, but on-topic helpful links are usually welcomed. Each community can decide for itself what links are "on-topic" and which ones aren't. — Catherine (talk) 04:38, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Delete
How do I delete a wikia? I want to delete the wiki at. Anti-Twilight-Angel 02:21, January 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am adopting the wikia at that adress, so you don't need to delete it now. VampiricAphrodite


 * We usually prefer not to delete wikis once they're created, since other interested users like Aphrodite can come along and begin editing and earn admin rights. We do sometimes close wikis that have been inactive for a long time, especially if they cover the same topics as much more active wikis. If a user has a strong argument for closing a wiki, especially one they founded, they can send their request to us via Special:Contact. However, in general there's little harm in letting an empty wiki lie. Thanks for asking! — Catherine (talk) 04:42, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Adding people as admins on TDMTDM wiki
How do I do it? --MTDM (talk) 18:36, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Go to Special:UserRights in your wiki to become an user into an administrator. 04:41, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Admin?
May I PLEASE be the admin of The Nanny Wiki? I know everything about the show!


 * You'll want to request adminship for inactive wikis on the adoption page (incidentally I'm watching that show right now) heh. -- 04:37, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Howdy
Howdy Catherine!

Thanks for the welcome! the link in the message you sent me to your talk page was broken,though. :-(

You might want to look into it.

Have fun playing RPGs, if you're not having fun, you aren't playing, and might as well be working!

ttyl,

--Alendril-- 06:49, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * The link that was left at your talk page on darkrunescape was from a bot which automatically welcomes new users. Because that wiki has no active administrators, Catherine's name was used to sign the message because she's a staff member. And because Catherine doesn't edit that wiki in-specific, she has no talk page there, which is why the link is red! Have fun contributing to that wiki! Cheers, Joey (talk) 06:58, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * What he said! But seriously, glad to have you aboard, Alendril, and hope you'll have fun editing our many wikis -- we're sure to have more than one about things you care about! — Catherine (talk) 04:44, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Major Problems
Catherine, Joe has apologized, but he still will not unblock me because he thinks I threatened his "accomplice". Seriously, I do not threaten users. I was mad at AK because he lied about the block.That Turtle guy 14:46, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Mekkai -- your community needs to work these things out between you. We can provide some help when arguments get hot, but staff members can't arbitrate every personal dispute on every wiki; all of you need to learn to act more maturely and politely towards each other. If a user is abusing their admin rights, then discuss it with other users and see if there is a consensus to remove those rights. If so, you can use Special:Contact to provide us with a link to the discussion and we can implement the community's wishes. Otherwise, either keep trying to work this out with each other, or work on different wikis -- there's plenty of room at Wikia for everyone to work on things they love. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 04:50, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Duplicate Wiki
A duplicate wiki, the Plants Vs. Zombies Wiki, has been created. It has no content, unlike the other one. Thank you for your time.--Swampert rox 18:17, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Swampert -- we've learned that we can't predict which wikis and founders will thrive, and which will be abandoned, so we try to give everyone a chance to start their own wiki and see what they will do. Smaller duplicate wikis don't harm larger communities, and can be closed and redirected in the future if they fail to grow.


 * Your message on Gargantuar's talk page was not very civil -- we would much rather see a positive message inviting users to "come play with you" than an insulting and discouraging one that is much more likely to drive them away from Wikia altogether than to get them to work on your wiki or voluntarily merge theirs with yours.


 * Plants vs. Zombies is an entertaining game that has a growing wiki; please help us keep it fun for everyone. — Catherine (talk) 04:55, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Something fishy's going on
I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I recall you stopping by the Dragon Quest Wiki some months back in order to establish a new administrator. I am a contributor to that wiki, albeit an infrequent one, but was somewhat confused when I found out I had been blocked, apparently earlier this very day.

Now, looking at the block log and deletion log shows that BigCubby, the administrator, might have some big plans in mind, possibly an overhaul, and didn't want any of the other contributors interfering with his edits. Still, this is all just speculation, and there are some things that come off as unsettling, like how he blanked his user page and concentrated his account blocking on those who contributed a decent-to-large amount of info. I would've left him a message to get the reason from him, but I can't even do that.

I apologize if this is all trivial, but it's really caught me off guard and got me worrying. Would you be able to contact BigCubby and obtain some answers from him, especially in regards to blocking those particular users? PantheonSasuke 02:00, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, we've taken care of the problem -- thanks for letting us know! — Catherine (talk) 04:56, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Skies of Arcadia Wiki
Hi! I'm Sonicrox14, beaurecrat of the Sonic News Network. I and my friend Kagimizu would like to adopt the Skies of Arcadia Wiki, because there is currently almost no adminship there, and the only edits currently being done are by I, Kagimizu, and IP Addresses. Thank you! --Sonicrox14 06:55, January 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * To adopt a new wiki, it's best to place a new request on the adoption request page –Fingernails.png 12:32, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Prison Break Wikia
Hello CatherineMunro. I have a question. Could you make me Administrator on The Prison Break Wikia? I have 3 reasons for that, why I want to be an Adminstrator on this Wikia:
 * 1. Nobody from the Wikia Staff there is on that site.
 * 2. The Wikia need a real clean-up, it looks really bad.
 * 3. There is sometimes vandalism and since nobody of the Prison Break Staff online is, nobody could do it. And then I mean really nobody from the Adminstrator a.k.a. Prison Break Staff.

I hope you understand me, since English is not my first language. I hope you will me make me an Adminstrator, that will make my day, but it's your choice. --Station7 13:46, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see you placed a request on the adoption request page. Don't worry, someone will reply shortly. –http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/f/f9/Fingernails.png (talk) 23:53, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

yes,some thing bad happend on tamagotchi wikia
Amigop blocked it,can you help?


 * It appears that you were blocked on that wiki for inserting false information and messing up pages, Pichu70; please don't do that again, and you won't risk further blocks. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 04:59, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Promoting a wiki
Can you help people come to my wiki: winniepedia.wikia.com. It is a Winnie the Pooh Wiki. I just started it 3 days ago and it has almost 30 good articles. I want peple to help edit. Do you have any tips? Please respond!Paul 19:58, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * The best way to attract readers and editors is to keep building pages -- the longer and more interesting your pages are, and the more links they have to each other, the better your wiki will rank in search engines and the more likely that people interested in your topic will be able to find you.


 * Once you have 200 pages you can qualify for a Wikia Spotlight, to advertise your wiki on similar Wikia sites -- see Spotlights for details.


 * For other ideas on promoting your project, see http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Advice -- good luck! — Catherine (talk) 05:01, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Why is this page locked?
http://veelancer.wikia.com/wiki/Crossfire According to the history the article has been locked for violating the Terms of Use. While I can see how it was breaking rules, is there any reason for the page to be completey locked? Giggilyomeromicon 23:39, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Giggily -- I protected it to prevent it from being re-created.


 * There is quite a lot on that wiki that is hateful and full of profanity. I would suggest that you and your fellow users work on changing the tone of the wiki to ensure it is within our terms of use, or consider moving it to another wiki host -- you can download backups of the content at http://veelancer.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics if that's what you choose.
 * Thanks for contacting me — Catherine (talk) 05:07, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. I was just worried it had been locked at someone's request - a guy's been going around on every single website we're vaguely present on claiming we're infringing his copyrights somehow, and so far has gotten our group completely banned from several for no reason. Giggilyomeromicon 12:49, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Adoption
How long, roughly, does it take for an adoption request to be declined or accepted?--Vault4 20:43, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you don't mind, I will answer this. It could take 2 or 3 days until you're accepted to Administrator or Bureucat or both.--Station7 10:54, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Vault; I granted one request and put the other on hold for now. Adopting a wiki and building it up to the point where it attracts a community takes a fair amount of work, so it's better not to try to do two at the same time.  Good luck with the Rap wiki!  — Catherine (talk) 21:27, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

BlueFrackle
I wondered could you also grant this user admin rights--Owen1983 22:53, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Owen -- that's up to Somarinoa now; she has the tools to promote people. The community should work out a fair way to nominate and elect new admins for the future.

adoption request or i want to be an admin?
Since I cannot contact anyone nor the administrator, I want to adopt Saiyuki wiki. Ever since that time, I am the one who edit the wiki and I cannot find the administrator. I want to protect some pages (specialy the main page) because some people are putting information without any basis.and also I want to delete some files and articles coz they are not needed in the wiki...

If it is alright to you people....

thanks....

I need the reply as soon as possible, pls contact me in my talk page for this request....

thank you again...

Saiyukisama 05:58, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Saiyukisama -- you need to leave a request at Adoption requests. Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 21:27, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Problem
Hi Catherine, I don't know if you remember my last request on Special:Contact (that was yesterday, actually XD, about the fanon blending). Apparently, there are some changes, that I asked Angela to solve (you can see her talk page). The problems are that in My Home, when you comment it appears User blog comment:Mithdraz/Bueaty of Pandora and Avatar/Anon2154-20100130012812, instead of just Bueaty of Pandora, very very large! Also, we had about 250 articles yestarday, now 144, but no one was deleted, maybe some problem in the MediaWiki? Also, when Wikia welcomes someone, it appears in My Homw, something that never happened before. Maybe it was from the configuration changes? Users are complaining about all those things as they are annoying, and I don't know what to do as an admin. Could you please help me? -- Shadow Na'vi ~  Talk  03:43, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Matias -- I'm happy to help, but this sort of problem needs to be sent through Special:Contact, or by replying to my previous response to you about the fanon wiki merge, so that we can document the problems for our tech team to investigate. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 21:27, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, I am matias's second admin, he left just this morning for about 20 days, so I'm gonna be picking up where he left off, I have a lesser amount of knowledge around outside of the Avatar Wiki than he does, but I'll be doing my best, and I'll be sending a message though that link you provided. Thanks - JayBO

Renaming Articles
Hello, I have been editing alot on a wiki that has been inactive, and I made a page that the name is spelled wrong. I am not the admin, so is there any way I can re-name the page? Thank you.
 * I'm in no position to answer this as this is not my talk page but my i suggest pressing the Move Button that is on the same colored striped that Edit this Page is on. Than change the spelling and click Move Page. You don't have to be an admin to do this. --KiumaruHamachi 18:24, February 1, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Non-admins are restricted to a certain amount of page-moves, though, so you won't be able to move a lot of them at one time. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:42, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Still, you can move the page. --KiumaruHamachi 19:02, February 1, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Thanks! I'm the one who asked! Magma-Man 19:32, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. --KiumaruHamachi 19:33, February 1, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Thanks for helping Magma-Man out, everyone! — Catherine (talk) 21:27, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

MAG Wiki
I'm a relatively new user to the MAG wiki, but the founder appears to have been inactive since May of 2009, and there are no other admins. Do you have the ability to grant administrator powers?

This might be a bit peremptory, but thanks for the help.

-CarpeJugulum


 * Hi Jugulum, peremptory's not a problem (and you're being quite polite in any case), but the place you're looking for is Adoption requests. Please make sure you have helpful edits on the wiki first, then leave a request there, and we'll be happy to take a look.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 02:11, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
