BeyondVoting
When I loggedin this morning it got all screwed up again. Same faulty look. Was fine until I logged in to thi spage. Also, note that someone had been attacking BeyondVoting having deleted its home page 3 times the past day. Perhaps there's a relationship.

Halopedia
Greetings, I am Spartan 1138 of Halopedia. I was looking over the anti-vandal items that was presented by you guys. I disagree with them but that isn't what I am here to talk about. In my opinion the page for the Anit Vandal Coalition doesn't encourage the act of vandalism. I think it is the people who go on the vandal's talk page and say stuff like 'you vandals are all dumb and you're going down'. Another user and I have brainstormed some ideas on how to make the AVC more in line with Central's ideas. Here is the idea page: http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Ideas_for_the_preservation_of_the_AVC&t=20070404222635

I would value your opinions and would love any ideas you may have--Spartan 1138 00:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Half-Life Needs Help
Do you remember me from places like Halopedia and House? If not, ohh well. Anyways, i wanted to contact you about giving me Bureaucrat access to the (en) Half-Life wikia. It's currently dead, 11 articles, no sysops, almost no editors. I saw it today and i would like to fix it up. I'm sure i could get people like RR to help me. I already know how to be an admin, as I'm an admin of the Halo Fanon Wikia. I'm a great member and editor of Halopedia, just ask anyone there, I'm even their Halopedian of the Month. Within two months of my joining of Halopedia, i have almost 3000 edits. I've played the Half-Life games, i know there's a big following for the game, the people just don't know about the Half-Life wikia. So, can you help me out?

Actually, i do have one question though. How can i get the Half-Life Wiki Logo changed? Right now it's just the central wiki logo, i'd like to make it something a little more Half-Life(ish).

PS: I'll get working on the game listing right away.

Hey, i hate to keep bothering you like this, but i have one more issue. How can I remove a user's admin power? And if i can't, could you do it for me? I made RR an admin of the Half-Life because he said he'd work on the MediaWiki templates, etc. He has yet to really do anything overthere. I'd like to take back his admin powers, he isn't doing anything other than average user stuff, he doesn't need admin there. I'm afraid he may just have wanted the title of being an "admin" of another wiki. Could you help me out? There are other users there that deserve admin powers more than RR.

Quick Help in the ER Wiki
Hello again, Catherine!

The worst of my out-of-wiki responsibilities have passed, so I'm returning to spending more time working on my server's community and the Earthen Ring wiki.

One problem that has always irritated is in the biobox template. The box is, by coding, 250px wide, and all images inserted into the info box are resized to fit into it properly; however, text does not wrap in the box, sometimes grossly distorting its width. Is there a way to automatically wrap text within the box?

Thanks for the help!

--Lilithia 16:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help, Catherine! That should help immensely.  (Now I just have to remove the line breaks from the old Biobox pages.)


 * As a note, the Infobox Biography is the older template for the same function. All new pages are created with the Biobox.  In time, we're going to move all character pages to the Biobox and phase out the old format, entirely.  The change is one of the first goals for the new character page sysops, who will be brought in over the next week or so with the rest of the staff reformation.


 * By the way, I forget: Was a way to place a background image into tables ever discovered for use in the new Storyhead template?

Orionsarm
I think you misunderstood what Orion's Arm is. Orion's Arm already has a lot of content and does not need a wiki. I was requesting a wiki for projects related to Orion's Arm, but I will try on Novelas first. Eyu100 18:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Licenses
The Earthen Ring Wiki is currently protected by the GNU FDL, just like many of the Wikia wikis. However, after reviewing the document I feel that it may not entirely protect the works of our users as well as they could be. The GNU site suggested the Free Art License for artworks. I feel it may more adequately protect the content on our wiki, the majority of which being comprised of original works and not really fitting the spirit of the GNU Free Document License.

What do you think about this? Would this cause us more complications, or better protect the creative works of our users? Would there be a way to protect our site with the FAL, and make that apparent in the same way as the FDL is placed on other wikis?

Heroes Wiki -- Thank you
Catherine, I wanted to thank you for your comments at User talk:75.80.137.192. I'm an administrator at heroeswiki.com, and many of our users were appalled at the vandalism for which one of our members was responsible. I replied to your comments and echo your sentiments. If you have any questions, you can contact me at this link. Thanks! Ryangibsonstewart 08:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Landing page
I liked your idea for a Landing page on the community test wiki. I fixed the IE glitch there which caused the searchbox to be thrown to the right. It reminds me of wanting to make something that looked nice as a portal for the 4 corners of the WGEP whenever the WGEP got a home wiki above the other wiki in the project. But I liked that idea there enough that I think I'm going to borrow that page and combine it with the PD help from MediaWiki.org which is on the Animepedia to make a nice new Help page. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 24, 2007 @ 06:59 (UTC)

Musicality wiki
Thanks for the comments re Musicality. I have posted a note about this on http://r3ok.myforum365.com/index.php?topic=970.0 and will see whether there is further interest. I can help anyway, though whether this community will want its own wiki or be interested in taking over/helping out with this one I can't say at this stage. I'll wait a few more days before making the decision for them!

MediaWiki on Half-life Wiki
I noticed the other day that images weren't showing up when you click on them on the Half-Life, i checked some other wikis, like this one, and the images are there. Would you have any idea how to fix this? Or if you could look into it for me, as you have greater access than i. Thanks.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 02:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes i am. Did you actually clicl on the images. Because once you click the image it takes you to that image's page, however, the image appears as a tiny black dot.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ]

I'm sorry if i'm annoying you, but i just don't know who else to contact. So, did you get a chance to look at the images yet? I saw you took a quick look through, but you need to click on the images to see the problem. If you clcik on the image itself, it takes to to that image's page, once there, the image appears as a black dot. Several other issues involving images are also occuring, such as the Search Icon. Jack P. already checked it and said i did everything correct, but for some reason it wasn't working.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ]

Thank you for looking into it. Sorry again if i'm bothering you, but RR said he too was having the same issue with the images. I'll ask some others if they have problems. At any rate, thanks.

Hey there!! Sorry. =S
Dear Mrs. Munro,

I sent you an email, not sure if you've gotten it. I was informed recently that I'll be away during the 3-day weekend and will be back on Wikia only on Tuesday. Then, I thought...Hey, if I told Catherine on IRC that I could meet with her on the weekends, and I don't show up...Special:Regexblock is a veeeeery un-nice thingie to face from the Cabal. (the cabal part was *cough*not*cough* joking, but the rest is true) ;-) Yeah, I won't be on during the weekend. Tonight (like sometime now-ish before my parents send me off to bed ;D) or anytime after Tuesday morning would work for me! Later! Sorry for bothering you again! ;-)

Tools
Thanks for giving me some insight into tools which are available within Wikia. Have we got one which will enable a page to be displayed in reverse chronological order under user control? What I'm thinking of is a news page where items are put on in date order, with the latest at the top. Some users might want to read that way, while others might want the page display in the date order. This would just be one example of page where formatting would be somewhat under the control of the end user. There are many such which could be potentially very useful.

Help for Skyrates wiki
This is Kiwalesti over at the Skybrary. Thank you very much for the compliments and the interest. Skyrates may be just an online game, but we're all very passionate about it.

Changing default skin
I do have one question, one that I posted on the main Wikia site's forum but never got a satisfactory response. I'm trying to make Monobook the default skin for all users and visitors (so that everyone sees the same thing, regardless of whether they are a logged-in user or just visiting). I like Monobook because it's simple and classic - the new Slate skin is okay but it really doesn't suit this wiki.

The problem is, everyone has told me that no matter what I do, I cannot change the default skin for all users/visitors. They've said that only logged-in users can change the skin. Now I'm confused, because I've visited several other Wikia sites (Halopedia, Memory Alpha, Wookieepedia, etc) and they all have custom skins that I can see regardless of whether I'm logged in or not. All I want to do is make a custom skin for the Skybrary - and I would be fine with it being just the standard Monobook.

Please let me if there's a way I can do this. Thank you!

Any way to delete user account?
One more thing! Here's a confusing situation: apparently somebody signed up for an account on the Skybrary and has not used it - but they used another player's "callsign" and he'd like to be able to use that same name. I'm wondering if there's any way to delete an unused account or if "Firefox" will have to use a different name. Obviously I would ask him to contact the user who had established the account, but that user has not contributed and has no contact information. I'm rather perplexed by the situation and looking to remedy it. Thank you! --Kiwalesti] 03:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

New skin
I do like Smoke better than Slate... if you could make that the default I'd be much obliged. I'm a bit disappointed that I can't have a custom skin for all visitors, but I understand why it's that way. Thank you for your help --Kiwalesti 02:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Wanted:
Hi Cat. please help me:

Add namespaces:

"Profile" and "Profile talk" unless you can translate the second

DO #wowiki-norge to one of the acepted Irc channels (:

sorry for short message

Namespaces and other stuff
So, regarding namespaces: Forum => Foorumi Forum talk => Keskustelu foorumista

On fi.starwars.

Apparently two new namespaces are needed on SW Fanon (Forum topic): HP (+the respective talk ns) and DL (+the respective talk).

If I recall correctly, the new namespaces should not have content before the namespace is created, so I guess it means moving 30+ articles with DL: prefix. :P

Anyway, thank you for your help, Catherine. :)

New Attacktix Wiki needs help
Greetings, this is jojomanzo. Our community is moving along quickly, but they would really like the anon/default skin to be MonoBook like the wikia site, and not Slate Gray. Some users say the slate loads slower... but overall they really dislike the style.

The help area said that only ComTeam can do it (IF they choose to) and it is not a guarantee, but we are REALLY hoping you can help us! Thanks!

 * Oops, also I forgot to ask, how do I add more links to my Navigation, Community, and help sections on the sidebar? -- Sonic80 22:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

A few questions
Hi, I'm the main person on the MTG Wiki and I was wondering a few things about the new skin. First of all, can you tell me how to change the ordering of the sidebar site-wide (not just personally). I think it would flow better if it went like so:
 * Main article box: this contains all the basic things and the fancy icons, which attracts visitors to contribute
 * Navigation: this will allow someone to jump to a few prominent pages
 * Search: having this under a few things instead of on top will prevent some people from going off the page without reading down it a bit and perhaps contributing to it. Having it under Navigation allows them to see if there already is a link to what they want to find before they start searching for it.
 * Expert Tools: Having this near the top makes it seem like the wiki values experts more than everybody else, when in fact every user is equally valued. The only time a user would use these is if they are confident enough to do more things than basic editing, and such users would normally scroll down through a page anyway.
 * Wikia Messages: Having these at the end will allow users to see what else the page/wiki they are viewing has anything to offer before they jump to another wiki.

Secondly, how would you add boxes and add stuff to boxes? Finally, in the main article box, I think it would be best if the plain text links (like "Leave message History Move Watch" in your talk page's case) would have some sort of separation between them, like perhaps a • to make it "Leave message • History • Move • Watch" instead (it helps to discern where one ends and another begins). Your help is greatly appreciated .--Skizzerz talk 23:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Browncoat Wiki
Hey Catherine!! Long time, no talk ;) I'm having a couple issues over at the Browncoat Wiki that I was hoping you might have time to look at. Firstly, the search box doesn't seem to be sized correctly for the new template (Smoke). It looked okay up until yesterday, so I'm not sure what happened. Secondly, our front page 'new articles' RSS feed broke somehow. Any help you can give us would be wonderful! Thanks!! - <font color="Green">Browncoat - Cheryl (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 14:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
