Help!
Could you put my wikis on wikia? Please! Because nobody ever visits them! Thanks, --Bigman602 03:31, December 21, 2009 (UTC)Bigman602!


 * Yes - please can you send me links to them? Angela (talk) 03:33, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

They are Penguins of Madagasgar & Avatar The Last Airbender! Thanks, --Bigman602 15:56, December 21, 2009 (UTC)Bigman602!


 * I thought you meant you wanted to move a wiki to Wikia. Can you explain what you mean by "put my wikis on wikia" please? Do you mean spotlights? Angela (talk) 21:04, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Ya. I did mean the spotlights. When you said move your wiki to wikia I ment the spotlights. Thanks, --Bigman602 01:28, December 22, 2009 (UTC)Bigman602!


 * Ok, well check out the rules for spotlights on that page and then just add your request when you're ready. Angela (talk) 01:32, December 22, 2009 (UTC)`

Are you a admin? Thanks, --Bigman602 01:38, December 22, 2009 (UTC)!


 * Angela co-founded the website. Saebjorn 05:07, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think they can be spotlighted, as they need to have minimum 100 articles. One has 9 and the other 11. -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  15:55, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Wikia iPhone Version
Hi Angela, will there be a Wikia version for an iPhone or Blackberry? I have an iPod Touch, and whenever I enter a wiki, it is a mess, no background, words everywhere, etc. I think that you should do a version for an iPhone, as I'am not the only person with that problem, I guess. -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  03:36, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is a mobile skin in use now and plans to improve that next year. See the chick skin. Angela (talk) 03:40, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * There's also the useskin=wikiaphone version. Angela (talk) 00:34, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Futility
Look at my wiki, Futility! --Smittia (Nathan Whiskas) 16:50, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks like you've made a good start at dissolutesfutility.wikia.com. The next step is to add some text to the home page to tell people what the wiki is all about. Angela (talk) 00:23, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

New Messages
Hi Angela,

Everytime I look on Wikia, it says I have new messages, but when I look, I don't have any. Can you help me to get rid of this.

Greetings

--Croon 00:13, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry about this - it is a known bug for Dutch users. It might go away if you log out and then log in again. We hope to fix it this week. Angela (talk) 00:19, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

User Trouble
Dear Angela,

On the Sonic wiki there is a former admin named Launchballer who has created a template to use to intentionally crash other people's computers. This, in my opinion, is unethical. I request that he be banned wiki wide due to the fact that the beaurecrats on the wiki have given him many chances to take down the template and he did not respond to them.

Thank you,

The Chosen   One Of  Fire


 * Has the template been deleted now? He can be blocked sitewide if he does similar things on other wikis. Do you know if that has happened? If not, a block just on the sonic wiki should be enough - it may be worth extending the length of the block as this sort of thing is totally unacceptable. Angela (talk) 01:52, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * The template was directly aimed at vandals, so that whenever they try and load a page the window won't show and their browser will stop responding.-- 20:36, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * That is unacceptable. If a vandal is a problem, they get blocked from editing, taking measures to harm their browser or computer is not a solution. -- 21:42, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's to stop them from editing again. If I cannot access their IP address and rangeblock them, if they use too many ranges or are too big (/16 range blocks 65,536 users in one blow) I'll have to find other ways in order avoid excessive collateral damage.-- 09:46, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Editthis.info
Perhaps you should apologize. Editthis.info isn't dead anymore. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 04:08, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Some of their wikis have actually not come back up, but I've sent an email to Rob about it. There's nothing to take down - I think he's just talking about the npfit wiki which was already deleted after a demo wiki was set up for the owner of it to review. Angela (talk) 12:52, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright. Thanks. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 16:08, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Chinese website group needs a Chinese contact person
Leaves job after KJ, Chinese website group becomes to the Wikia contact demand very difficult. Although has probationer Ziyi, but he very busy is unable to contact promptly frequently, causes some technical demand nobody to be possible to instruct perhaps assists to contact processing.

Whether Wikia can give up Chinese website group?-- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 07:30, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * If there is another Chinese user that speaks English, I'd be happy for them to join Wikia as an intern. Do you know anyone that wants to do that? Angela (talk) 12:54, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. I did not know that which familiar English friend has, but User:Leeyc0 he is zh-hk Uncyclopedia duty assists our User, moreover his work is very busy is unable to have the unnecessary time to assist the transmit message.
 * Moreover by Chinese's disposition, I thought that very little has is willing to accept does not have the wage practice work good person.-- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 13:23, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Administrators Gone Wild!
Hey Angela, PLEASE, PLEASE bann or block Joeyaa, Omnibender, and The 888th Avatar are harrassing me and abusing thier powers. Joeyaa is always giving me mean comments and blocked me for sockpuppetry, just because I wasn't logged in! Omnibender is always giving me threats and blocked me for vandalism, just because I edited a page he loved! The 888th Avatar blocked 2 pages just because he didn't want me editing them! Now you see they all hate me! They all blocked, because they hate me except The 888th, he blocked 2 pages because he hates me! I'm getting real aggervated, annoyed, and irritated! I would really appreciate I if you would bann or block these 3. Thanks, --Bigman602 14:26, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, please stop asking that. Those are trusted users and they're doing nothing wrong. Angela (talk) 23:08, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Trying to Make a Wiki
Hello, Administrator Angela, I am Youngla0450 and I got a problem. I went to "Create a wiki", filled out the information, and it was supposed to create the wiki, but it said "Process not completed, error". I have tried about four times and the same message popped up every time. What do I do? I really want to create my own wiki. --Larry Young 19:06, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've replied on User talk:Youngla0450. Angela (talk) 23:08, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I have submitted the message for help to build the wiki and included the ideas you told me to include. Please respond to this and that message. --Larry Young 23:36, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

 * I've sent this using special:contact for you as huge requests like this can not be dealt with properly on user talk pages. Angela (talk) 00:36, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Is there...
Some kind of way to make text that admins can see but regular users can't? So a way for admins to talk without the notice of regular users about admin-related stuff? - W112  (Talk) 


 * You can't do that on the wiki, but you could make a private mailing list for admins using a tool such as Google Groups. Angela (talk) 02:07, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

UnMario demotions
so when the demotions will start ? The Hater in Wikia 03:13, December 23, 2009 (UTC) I just finished deleting endless useless pages a 'crat made -________-' The Hater in Wikia 03:13, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Pl Conlang
Im terribly sorry to bother you, but it seems that on the Polish Conlanger Wiki (http://pl.conlang.wikia.com) the only bureaucrat does not respond. I asked for the sysop and perhaps bureaucrat on this wiki for several reasons, beginning from greater involvment in wiki than in our forum (I had a lot of ideas that came true: numerating conlangs, conworlds, books, quotes, featured articles and more) ending with the fact that I was a root admin of the previous Conlanger Wiki server. Other users agreed on that. If you still don't trust me, just give bureaucrat to our active sysop Paweł Ciupak. Thank you. RWHÔ 08:07, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Deletions
How do I change a deletion reason ? The Hater in Wikia 14:41, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * If you mean an already deleted page, you can't. Unless you restore the page, and then delete it again. If you mean change the "default" reasons used to delete a page, you'd need to edit MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown on your wiki. -- 14:42, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Username Change
Hi Angela, is there a way that I can change my username without deleting my contributions? -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  18:42, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * No, sorry. Usernames aren't changed on Wikia due to the shared user database. -- 18:43, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

the "gif" image display is unusual
Uploads gif in the Wikia website the image to be unable the normal demonstration, please look at the example;

File:Imagesparis2iz.gif

This is originally the size.

How should such unusual circumstance solve?-- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 06:06, December 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought this was a bug, but it's not. The image is animated, so the thumbnail will only show one frame of that animation. The first frame lasts a long time and then changes and shows other images including the one you see in the thumbnail. Automatic thumbnailing does not usually work for animations on Wikia. Angela (talk) 07:26, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * But, before October uploads the picture is normal, after November started to be unusual, whether to invite the technical personnel checkout system. Because zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com needs to use dynamic gif frequently image Kuso. -- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 08:11, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Please look that this website page also has a dynamic gif image, when I attempt changes this image the size, the image will occur exceptionally, therefore please assist to deal with this issue.-- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 08:43, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * In late October it was coded so that it only shows the first frame when assigned dimensions. See http://trac.wikia-code.com/changeset/14382 It was obviously done to stop errors from occurring. Joey (talk) 10:05, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ask whether to have the means breaching of obstacles? Because the present hypothesis is not convenient, because Uncyclopedia is the lively Kuso website, and has half Uncyclopedia is uses Wikia the server. Therefore hoped that Wikia can understand Uncyclopedia the nature and the demand, assist the debug with every effort. -- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 11:00, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Main Page Transparency
Hi Angela, I wanted to know if there's a way that the main page is completely transaprent. In my wiki (http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar_Wiki) there's a starfield background, but I would like it to have no color, so it can show all the starfield. Right now it is transparent, but I want it completely transparent. Is there a way to do that? -- Shadow Na'vi  Talk    My Workload  16:04, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
