Welcome, and a question
Hi Meighan, welcome to Wikia. I have a question that sort of fits your job description so I'm hoping you can answer it.

A couple of months back I started the Shawshank Redemption Wiki. There's a limited amount of information that can be added about a 17 year old movie, but it's going to be my summer wiki project, as it were. I'm fairly experienced with MediaWiki and Wikia, so I don't really need much help when it comes to technical things, but I'm new to wiki-founding. My problem lies in trying to create an interested userbase around the project to help build great content. Two million people like the movie on Facebook, so it's definitely popular, but I'm having trouble finding extant communities about the subject. The wiki is still very much in the planning and growth stages, so I'm not worried as much about traffic as I am about finding people willing to contribute regularly. My question is, do you have any advice on seeking out people or groups that are interested in a cult classic like this? I don't even need people who are familiar with wiki markup. Right now I'm sort of at the point of cold-calling people who mention the movie on their userpages.

Thanks for the time,

 * See Help:Ways to promote your wiki. Keep in mind that you'll probably have to work alone for a while before you get more people.

Hello!
Hello, and congrats for becoming a staff member!

I don't really know which staff member handles what (there's no easy-to-find list as far as I can tell), but I have an issue with the acheivements on a Wikia, so could you direct me to the person in charge of that sort of thing? Thanks in advance...

 * Hi Rookie, can you be more specific on what kind of issues you are having? Thanks! --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:01, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Well, for a long time, the Wikia hasn't used acheivements at all, but not too long ago, they were activated to encourage more edits. I already had maybe 700 edits, and after a few more, I got the achievement normally obtained after five edits. So now, though I nearly 800 edits, I still haven't even earned the acheievement for 100 edits. Others are also having this problem. Is there a way to fix it? Ʀооⱪιε 00:12, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
