Adopt a Wiki Page
Hey Angela,

I already notified Catherine about this but have not gotten any kind of response in several days so I decided you were the best person to come to. The adopt a wiki page is developing quite a backup and hasn't gotten any attention since the 11th of February. If you wouldn't mind reviewing it, that would be great! Regards, Gaelen S.Talk • Contribs 04:01, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Catherine has edited that page today, so I'm sure she'll get to your request soon. Angela (talk) 10:59, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know and yes, she did get to it. I was following up here because I am interested in helping out across several wikis, this one included. If you have anything in particular that you feel could use an extra pair of hands here on the Community Wiki, I would be more than happy to help! - Regards, Gaelen S.Talk • Contribs 09:02, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Checkuser
I see the checkuser current not is activ, i would like checkuser acces. Thanks.  E r v i n [talk] 15:44, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * You've already been told about this. Checkuser rights typically aren't handed out to non-community team members. They're only given to wiki administrators and/or bureaucrats in extreme situations. If you feel there is an extreme case that warrants Checkuser rights for yourself, please send a request with your reasons for needing it to Special:Contact from the wiki in question. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:10, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

A problem
At Lostpedia a page has a problem. On this page:Ray (DHARMA_Initiative), he is accept as appearance in season 4. I have tried to remove it, but it didn't work. Later I was going to an Admin and he said that it was better if I was going to one of the supporters team. I hope you can fix the problem.--Station7 19:37, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what they mean by supporters team - you could try asking them about that. You might be able to get some help if you leave a message at Talk:Character appearances as that's the talk page of the article which would need to change. Angela (talk) 23:08, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * The best thing to do is ask on the adoption page. Angela (talk) 01:09, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Staffer
Hello! May I know how this user, with only 8 contributions part of helpers and staff, I with many contributions are no sysop and he 8 is already helper and Staffer: (At least the helper, that I am ashamed of myself already.'m admin on some bureaucrat in 7 projects and about 4. We have extensive experience. So if Staffer, even helper. Please to think a bit on this proposal. Many Thanks. Erwin(mesaje 09:28, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Misterr - staff are employed by Wikia i.e. they are paid by Wikia, and are not necessarily present on this wiki, Community Central, every day. They may not even edit regularly, or at all. Their job is not necessarily involvement in the Wikia community. Helpers are volunteer interns who were either invited/recruited by Wikia or hired as an unpaid position. As you can see, both flags are not just handed out arbitrarily. Edits and whatever have nothing to do with it. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 10:01, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I I could handle adoption requests, Catherine is not active for 5 days, this is a task I did not need money to help the community. Staffer If I would be more interested in the post than the other wikis. Erwin(mesaje 10:15, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * While Catherine does not edit every day, there isn't that big of a backlog in Adoption as far as I know - a week is nothing in inactivity terms. You can't just apply for a staff or helper position like this. My advice to you is to quiet down and keep editing - shouldn't you be busy enough being admin of that many wikis? Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 10:26, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Catherine not oblige to deal every day, but I think I would handle myself in her place when busy, and even so, test if you do not let me take you to the post, but even test. Thanks, Erwin(mesaje 10:47, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

No, Wikia doesn't give out "tests" of staff and help flags. With the staff flag, they give out powers that can be very dangerous, such as the ability to check user and oversight (delete revisions from history). I reiterate: just keep editing quietly. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 10:55, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sysop, bureaucrat and Checkuser here and

here:. There administrators oversight skills. But I still I will not use. Only user permissions, Checkuser, deleting vandalism etc. Erwin(mesaje 11:10, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Experience from the outside is irrelevant to the Wikia situation. No staff member would feel comfortable with just another community member having access to potentially dangerous tools, including Check user. I've emphasised again and again that Wikia does not appear to need help with Adoption, which is their job, not the community's. The community here also believes that we don't need some admin just to deal with vandalism. You don't need this. Your continued determination to grab any user rights is unjustified, so please, just desist and spend your time more productively. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 11:21, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wjxhuang is right (except that the helper flag is sometimes used for staff or paid contractors as well as for volunteers). Hiring is the place to look for jobs at Wikia. Angela (talk) 18:00, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I do not want money but to help the community. That's my wish, I do not care about money in a hobby like this, it is a pleasure. Erwin(mesaje 18:12, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome to help, but please do try to find some areas that don't require special rights which are only given to staff. Some examples of where you can help are:
 * Creating a Central Wikia in Romanian
 * Adding questions and answers to wikianswers or starting your own answers site
 * Checking wikis for spam and reporting any you find
 * Helping people to make logos
 * Angela (talk) 18:45, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * No with UserRights? Sorry. With make logos? I have the permition? Erwin(mesaje 18:51, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, on that wiki you can help people to design logos for their wikis. Ajraddatz Talk 18:58, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
