pl.starwars
You mentioned making some edits to pl.starwars: however, that wiki seems to be inactive. Biblioteka Ossus seems to be more popular right now, but there have been some conflicts about this. Perhaps as a neutral party, you could shed some light on the subject? I'd like the Polish Star Wars fan community to unite at one wiki, but it's impossible for me to figure out how that could be done without speaking any Polish.

Imagemap bug
Unfortunately this evening I discovered the imagemap bug that I noticed you already found that does not allow for variables. Is there a link to the bug report I can click? Thanks. --LordTBT Talk! 04:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

...
Well, it's a good thing then that I didn't understand what you meant, because like I said, I am not familiar with coding or internet slang. In fact, I don't even remember what you said. :D So all is forgiven. But, if you really want to grant me a request, I would only like it if you could find a qualified user to be the admin at the Red vs. Blue Wiki because we do not have one or they are inactive. --Caboose

Interlanguage links
Please add interlanguage links between swfanon, de.swfanon, es.swfanon and sv.swfanon. Thank you. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * These are done -- sannse (talk) 09:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Great, thanks TOR. :)

Rename namespaces and interlanguage links
Please rename namespaces "Обсуждение Википалантир" → "Обсуждение Википалантира" (namespace=5) on ru.lotr

And also rename "Forum" → "Форум" and "Forum talk" → "Обсуждение форума" on ru.lotr and ru.chemistry

And Please add interlanguage links between chemistry, es.quimica and ru.chemistry. Thanks! --exlex 23:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The interlanguage links are done -- sannse (talk) 09:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Central interlanguage links
And it'd be nice to have (proper) interlanguage links between de.wikia, fi.wikia and ru.wikia (when someone fixes ru.wikia, that it). Thanks. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

phpBB-Wiki
Hi. I was looking at inside.Wikia.com, and I REALLY likedsd the forum. Catherine told me if I wanted to beta-test it, to ask you to install it on Therian.Wikia. I Would LOVE to. Therian needs a nice board, and I don't want to put it on proboards or something. so, rathar than I continue trying to write up my own WikiMarkup forum, I would like to have phpBB set up for Therian. I will then report in whatever manner you specify, any feedback I may have on it. Thanks! ~
 * ok... now here's the thing.  Catherine thought that I should be like your main tester, as I know how to work phpBB and forums in general, and can do alot of the  coding you will encounter...  But as a mod, I can only tamper with and break so much...  so...  Get it to me as soon as you can, and then I can start doing alot of the things I was thinking of with Catherine.  Make it better and more ready to be released.  thanks...  ~

Creating New Polls
Dear TOR;

Catherine suggested since you are working on the "poll problem" that I ask you:

If a new poll is created, will the results be negated if the old ones are restored?--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 23:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, the way the polls worked before was sufficient. We were completely satisfied with the simple radio buttons and however it counted, so there is no need to make it tally answers or track who answered what any differently than it did before.  Thank You.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 01:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing the poll problem.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 15:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, previous poll results restored and new ones working. Only a quirk with Firefox showing [edit] (non-active) at the beginning of each question.--Pro-Lick 16:27, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind. Looks like the problem is that we had HTML markup inside the poll.--Pro-Lick 02:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't think that was the problem, regardless, a new problem has reared its ugly head, please help. --WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

SITENAME
Hi TOR, I'm admin of the Lord of the Rings Wiki. Would it possible to change the tag? If so can you change our wikis from "The Lord of the Rings Wiki" to "The One Wiki to Rule Them All". Also would this show up on the parts of the statistics page that isn't editable? Thanks a lot.-- 22:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I need this in the worst way. There are just some things I did for eq2i.com that are not gonna work right for eq2.wikia.com until I have them.

Russian-language version for eq2.wikia.com
I have a Russian player of EQ2 interested in creating ru.eq2.wikia.com and he wants to know if it is possible to initialize his DB with a dump of ours? If so, can be added to the bottom of every page moved? He would then begin the task of translating the pages and moving them to the Russian spelling. the en tag should maintain the link back to eq2.wikia.com... --Florence Sopher of Lucan D'Lere (talk/contribs/my templates) 16:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

CGI:IRC page...
I have a question regarding this page. Could you add ##ghostrecon on the scroll bar for the CGI:IRC page? ##ghostrecon is a channel that I registered for Ghost Recon Wiki, but I cannot seem to access it here. Many people have asked me to go to xchat or java, but Xchat and Java don't work on my computer. Could you help me add ##ghostrecon on the scrollbar? thanx! =D --User: Blemo

moved wiki and wiki.png
Timeline:
 * 1) wiki.png is uploaded to cthulhu.wikia.com (at this time, Russian)
 * 2) cthulhu.wikia.com is moved to ru.cthlhulu.wikia.com
 * 3) en.cthulhu.wikia.com is moved to cthulhu.wikia.com
 * 4) At this point in time, cthulhu.wikia.com has no wiki logo at all.
 * 5) wiki.png is uploaded to cthulhu.wikia.com (now the English site)

Result:
 * 1) The logo on cthulhu.wikia.com (currently english) is the Image:wiki.png from the Russian wiki.
 * 2) The logo on the Russian site is blank.

Can you correct this and, if possible, tell me how I managed to do it in the first place? Thanks. :) Kylu 04:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

IRC switcharoo
I spoke to Lord_Oblivion about Freenode's guidelines regarding channel names, so Gearspedia's IRC channel is no longer #gearsofwar, but is now #gearspedia. I told him I'd ask for that to be changed while he set up the channel, but I asked sannse who said to ask Angela, and I forgot to do that, and Dantman said that you're probably in charge of that... so could you change the channel on the list to #gearspedia?

global.css and how to fix it
i figured it out!

the software is trying to load http://origin-www.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Uberfuzzy/global.css&amp;action=raw&amp;ctype=text/css&amp;smaxage=18000 but that url does not return a raw css stream http://origin-www.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Uberfuzzy/global.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000 does tho

what ever is making that line that loads User:USERNAME/global.css and also MediaWiki:Global.css from central (its line 73 for my view source) needs to NOT urlencode the &'s and also be wrapped in a /*<![CDATA[*/ /*]]>*/  block like the skin css calls below.

god i hope this works, i really miss having wikia wide css settings

CSS styling dilemma?
Jack Phoenix suggested I give you a "poke". Over on stexpanded.wikia.com, the CSS doesn't appear to be working... all of the styling is gone. I know the files haven't been changed, and the Monobook.css appears to be loaded in the page source, yet things do not look as they're supposed to. For example, on this page (hey, how about that--another Tor, what a coincidence), the sidebar is supposed to be red/yellow/black. All I get is an unstyled sidebar. Any help? Can you fix this or tell me what to do about this? We have a lot of templates, tables, sidebars and such, that depend on the CSS parameters. Thanks in advance, -- Sasoriza 16:13, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

New forums
Hi TOR. I've been told that you are the person to talk to to get the new style forums installed on individual Wikia. I think the new forums on inside.wikia.com are really good and would be great over on WikiJET. Could you get them installed there at all? Cheers, Bobo12345 15:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for setting them up! I'm sure they will be popular with our visitors who are more used to those type of forums than the MediaWiki style ones. In terms of the structure, please could we have three forums with the titles and bylines as follows:


 * Japan and JET - For all things Japan and JET related
 * Any Other Business - For discussion of any other topics
 * WikiJET related - For comments, suggestions and discussion of WikiJET itself


 * And would it be possible to have a paragraph of text just above the forums, explaining the usage guidelines and linking to the help pages? Cheers, Bobo12345 18:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, I don't know if this is related to the new forums being installed but the feature doesn't seem to be working anymore! Bobo12345 18:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all your efforts with the forum - much appreciated! Could you change the skin so that it matches the one in use on the rest of the jet.wikia? We're using Sapphire. And could you update the logo as well? Cheers, Bobo12345 10:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

need help
It seems that the Hebrew interface doesn't fully support Hebrew - The Hebrew interface of Wikia still contains the english language although it is turned to work properly from right to left. is there anyway to fix that ? Barak4u 19:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, if you are logged in, the language you see the interface in depends on your personal settings. You currently are set to see all wikis in English.  If you would prefer Hebrew, just change it at Special:Preferences.  If you see English on a Hebrew wiki while you are logged out, then there is a mistake in the wiki settings.

problems in arabic uncyclopedia
hi TOR, I have been adviced to ask your help, the ads on the arabic uncyclopedia are poorly adjusted they are overlaping on the articles, we can't read the articles because of that , also the GNU FDL banner that supposed to be at the end of the gage , is at the middle there. thanks for your help and time Classic 971 11:10, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

ProblemReports doesn't work very well when you try to toggle the status. The problem I've encountered is that the buttons to toggle status do not appear, and when you do find the invisible space to toggle them, the log says "marked problem as Object" or something like that. This is for Egamia btw, but I'm sure other sites are experiencing this issue as well. Here's hopes to it being fixed :) -- 23:51, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello there TOR, Can you please add #Starwars-roleplay to the CGI gateway? It's the channel for the Star Wars role-playing wiki and it will be used for meetings and to roleplay. Some of the users use CGI:IRC and people that roleplay in other star wars channels (like #Wookieepedia) are already being sent to this channel, but most of them can't get in there because the channel is not on the CGI list.

Also, I take it FFXIclopedia and the rest of Wikia share the same userdb, as I can log in there with this username and password... but it doesn't share the same cookies, as I had to log in there, rather than it doing it automatically like the rest of Wikia. Is that on purpose or a bug and/or due to the URL?  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  22:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
