Question/Answer format vs. Formal Headings
Recently, Elocina has been changing the headings on help pages away from the question and answer format. Personally, I preferred the question answer format because it seemed easier to understand when there was something you needed help with. Thoughts? The 888th Avatar (Talk) 13:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikia on History List
This isn't a question regarding Wikia per se, but one related to it; I was wondering if anyone familiar with how the site's pages are set up to an advanced web language level could answer this. Why does it seem that Wikia pages seem to have such a hard time sticking to a web browser's History list? --DanMat6288 20:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * We are not exactly sure what you mean - you can't find pages you've visited on Wikia in your browser's history? This isn't an issue we've come across before. What browser are you using? Kirkburn (talk) 13:37, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Formatting
Hello, I am Robobrain. Recently I was working on formatting on some pages of the Submachine wiki through the use of columns, but the default dimensions were not the formatting I was going for. Is there a way to specify the dimensions of a column, and if there is, could you please tell me how to code it? Thank you very much. Robobrain 23:35, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Something like ? For example:

Where can I find the Text Animation Section?
The title says it all.--Akamia(Talk)(Look what I've been doing!) 00:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Text animation? If you mean stuff like marquees and blinking text - I'm sorry, I can't help you out. You really should avoid text animation. Kirkburn (talk) 11:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Special pages guide
Would be useful. I'm trying to find the template page that gets automatically posted whenever a new user makes a contribution, but I'm having a poor time actually locating it. Suggestions to this would be welcome 08:52, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Ads issue
Could someone please dump those HORRENDOUSLY irritating boxing ads? I've been turning my attention to anwywhere-but-here more lately because of it and I prefer wowwiki. They must be stopped! Knock those SOBs out!!!!!!!! My husband feels even more strongly. It has become a place where I may still come but I leave ASAP because it's so annoying to be in game with all that NOISE coming from wowwiki in the background. Enough!!!!!
 * Hi, you should take this issue to wowwiki administrators here is a wiki that gets the content translcuded in other wikis like wowwiki so that they dont need to have to create help pages and can depend on a pool that will benefit 9000+ wikis.
 * On another note, if you create an account here at wikia, you can enjoy the advantages of surfing any wikia wiki ad-less and you dont even have to supply an email (the advantage of putting your emails is if you lose the password it can be email you

Wiki Logo
I dont know how to change the logo on my site. I read the help on how to do it and it didnt really help because it didnt work. can you explain how to do this? ~ Mali-chan - AnythingAsian


 * You read and followed Help:Logo? Logos can sometimes take a few minutes to appear - where were you trying this? Kirkburn (talk) 15:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * after i upload it where do i put it? that page isnt helping me. ~ Mali-chan - AnythingAsian
 * With the logo, as long as it's at the correct location (File:Wiki.png), then you don't need to go anything else. For the anythingasian wiki, that means uploading the logo to http://anythingasian.wikia.com/wiki/File:Wiki.png Kirkburn (talk) 14:57, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * thank you so much. :D ~ Mali-chan AnythingAsian

User List
When a new user joing they dont show up on the Local User List on my Wikia. Does that mean there is something wrong? Or what? ~ Mali-chan AnythingAsian


 * The default settings for the user list is to show only users that have edited 5 or more time. You can change this via a dropdown option on the listusers page. Kirkburn (talk) 13:56, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello
My name is Óðinn-Hermoðr de Warenghien, aka Gwyonbach writer of Rouen in Normandy. I need your help to change the map (Territories and voyages of the Vikings) who turns out to be false on the Viking sites and L'Anse aux Meadows in Dutch, and Norwegian (bokmål). For the correction and / or administrator of the site Laaknor too blunt and obvious lack of knowledge on historical and geographical Normandy (my country), blocking my messages. If you could be kind enough to intervene with Laaknor by Norsk (bokmål) and ask him to compare his bad card, with those found in french, English, German or Israeli, who have had the intelligence to m listen and change their erroneous map for a more accurate, I would be grateful. If only for the seriousness, which claims to Wikipedia. Thank you in advance!

What links here?
I'm starting to get a little bit concerned that useful wikia tools like "What links here?" are being replaced by uninformative features like blogs. I mean, if blogs help, fine, but do we have to make it harder to edit the actual wikis? Glorious  CHAOS!  08:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Check article footers for whatlinkshere now. We're not removing anything, just organising stuff into more sensible locations. Kirkburn (talk) 17:50, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That makes sense then. I always forget there's stuff down there, thanks. Glorious  CHAOS!  19:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Name Change
Hello, I've looked everywhere on this site for any advice on how to successfully change my Username. Not give it a nickname or anything, but change the username itself. If you have any idea on how to do this, please tell me. --User:Ramsey 05:58, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not an option. What you can do is redirect your user pages to a new account.--AB 13:37, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Need some template help
Hello everyone! I have been looking all over in the help and other wiki's for information on how to do what I am looking to do. Basically I have created three templates, Skills tableheader, Skills tabledata and Skills tableclose. The tableheader and tableclose work as intended. The tabledata template is where I am having issues. What I would like to appear is more like what is shown with the "weapon" having a link to a Category page if the value sent to tabledata for weapon is "any". The section of the template showing what I have tried is. Basically I have tried:

Anyone have any ideas of can point me in a direction? Thanks ahead of time. --Pintodragon 19:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
