Feedback

 * The Advanced tab of the Admin dashboard looks like it should just be the Special:SpecialPages page of the Healthy Recipes wiki. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Jul 2011 8:42 PM Pacific
 * If there are links for CreateRecipe and CreateIngredient, then why aren't there specialized links for things like CreateCharacter, CreateEpisode, CreateItem, CreateQuest, or CreateShow? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Jul 2011 8:42 PM Pacific
 * Could you explain a bit about what you're talking about? What's Healthy Recipes got to do with the dashboard? I haven't got access to the dashboard, so a screen would be nice.
 * I believe there are links to CreateRecipe and CreateIngredient on the Admin Dashboard, eventhough those pages only exist on the Healthy Recipes wiki. - Tjcool007 (Talk) 09:41, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * Add buttons for Special:NewFiles and Special:NewPages. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Jul 2011 8:42 PM Pacific
 * Add a section or page for useful Admin-oriented help pages. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Jul 2011 8:42 PM Pacific
 * Add buttons that go directly to Wikia Founders and Admins blog and Support Requests forum. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Jul 2011 8:42 PM Pacific
