Theatre.wikia.com
Thank you for your note left in theatre.wikia.com

Yes, I would be interested in being an administrator, not for "theatre" but for "musical theatre", because my expertise and interest is limited to musical theatre. When I applied for a wikia group, I asked for "musical theatre", but was directed to "theatre", and told to start a category "musical theatre" under "theatre". I am happy for this to continue, although my preference is to have a separate site dedicated to "musical theatre". Would this be possible? Thank you, Music 15:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll discuss this with the others of the team and leave you a note then. Maybe Angela or Sannse know more about this :-) --rieke 01:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rieke,

I am writing to inform you that after quite a long time, Marcus Hanson (Marcus Han), the originator of theatre.wikia.com has finally given me the following reply:

Feb 13, 2007 10:12 AM Re: Theatre.wikia.com

Hi Ken, Due to many complications, I am not able to continue with theatre.wikia.com, so if you would let me know what is needed for me to do, if anything, I would like to let others take the lead. Thanks, Marcus"

Therefore, Rieke, I wonder if you would allow me to be one of the administrators for theatre.wikia.com?

Also, I would like to ask if it were possible to have "musical theatre" separated from "theatre". You can see that 99% of the entries for theatre.wikia.com are about musical theatre.

Finally, I would like to ask why Google cannot search the entries inside theatre.wikia.com?

Thanks, Music 12:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC) 21 Feb 2007


 * Hi Music, I've made you admin and bureaucrat on theatre.wikia now, and noted the "adoption" on Theatre. So you can adapt the wiki in many ways now (see the Administrators' how-to guide for help), and you are also able now to grant admin rights to other interested users (e.g. Auspuppetguy) by going to Special:Makesysop on the wiki. We might start a musical theatre wiki in addition soon … still in discussion. Greetings --rieke 13:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Rieke! And cheers! 218.186.10.12 13:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Micronations wiki
Hi again, Rieke!

Now that Hikipedia thing is cleared out, I've got another request for you: can you make me an admin of Finnish Micronations Wikia, Mikropedia? It seems that the creator of that Wikia, Icepenguin (Jääpingviini in Finnish and as an user of Fi-Wikipedia), abandoned that Wikia. I sent him an e-mail, but I think that was pretty useless since his last contribution to Finnish Wikipedia was on 15th of December, 2006.

It seems to be a Wikia about a good subject. It just hasn't gotten the attention it needed. I've already added a link to the "Mikrovaltio" (Micronation) page of Finnish Wikipedia. :)

Thanks in advance! --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Icepenguin was faster :-) --rieke 13:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Frage!
Ich wollte eine Test-Wiki gestalten. Ich habe eine Website über Star Wars die eher zum Spaß dient als das sie eine große Community ist. Trotzdem würde ich gerne eine Art Star Wars Lexikon darauf betreiben. Ich habe auch schon User gefunden die mir dabei helfen würden. Mir ist klar das es mit der Anzahl an Member kaum an Jedipedia oder ähnliches herankommen wird. Und ganau da liegt mein Problem. Ich kann nämlich alle diese "Fragen" mit "ja" beantworten. Doch zum Thema Star Wars gibt es bereits eine sehr große Wiki-Seite. Das Projekt gilt eher dem Spaß als einem wirklichen Ziel. Nun eben ist meine Frage ob ich trotzdem eine Mini-Wiki erstellen kann.

Es wäre außerdem gut wenn die Antwort an maro1993 /an/ gmx.de geschickt werden würde! Danke!

bug
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "Article::insertOn". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry '6-Rizzo.jpg' for key 2 (216.224.121.137)". -- Muppets101 21:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Muppets101, where did you get this error? Is this still an issue? --rieke 13:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Seiten definitiv löschen
Hallo Rieke Ich habe mit "zwei Mal eckige Klammer 'xy' zwei Mal eckige Klammer" eine neue Seite erstellt, diese dann mit Inhalt gefüllt und später - wegen Nichtgebrauchs - wieder gelöscht. Nun stelle ich fest, dass es die Seite "xy" weithin gibt und demzufolge im "Mini Wikia" unter "Alle Seiten (A-Z)" erscheint. Wie können solche Seiten definitiv gelöscht werden? Besten Dank für Deine Antwort. NOllUX 14:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hallo, löschen können Administratoren. Du kannst im Mini-Wikia einfach  in die jeweiligen Seiten schreiben. --rieke 14:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Why is Google unable to search articles inside Wikia.com?
Hi Rieke,

I have asked this question in another posting to you, but I thought it deserved a separate entry. I note that this question has also been asked in the wikia forums, but no satisfactory answer has been given.

Why is Google unable to search for articles within wikia.com?

What can we do to enable our articles to become searchable?

Thanks, Music 13:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC) 21 Feb 2007


 * Hm, this link should work in general. Normally, very new articles need some time (2-3 weeks) to get indexed by google (often longer by other search engines).
 * But the main reason for search engines not finding an article is, that the article is not linked to from anywhere (search robots are following links, but ignore special pages like Recentchanges or Allpages). Internal links within the wiki (between articles) are very important therefore. You can use Special:Lonelypages on every wiki to find such "orphaned pages". So the easiest way to make most articles on theatre.wikia browsable by search engines is to create a page where you list all existing articles, maybe sorted by genre, by year or author, or so (this page should be linked from the Main Page) - the better way would be to work on more links between articles. I hope this helps :-) --rieke 13:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars Fanfiction!
Danke für die Rückmeldung! Dein Vorschlag das ganze unter "swfanon" und dem Projektnamen "Starwars-fanfiction" zu gestalten ist tatsächlich besser da es allgemeiner ist. Jawanet.de.tl ist übrigens meine Homepage. Den Namen habe ich gewählt da die Idee aus meiner Homepage heraus entstand. Allerdings ist das zu spezialisiert und ein Allgemeiner Begriff wie Starwars-Fanfiction ist besser. Danke --SkywalkerXl


 * Super. Das Wiki richte ich gleich ein :-) --rieke 21:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

SW-Fanfiction Titel
Also du hast mir ja diese Frage in meine Diskussionsseite gestellt, welchen Namen das Fanfiction Wiki haben soll. Ich bevorzuge würde "StarWars-Fanfiction!". Oder auch Star Wars-Fanfiction wenn das trotz Leerzeichen gehen würde! mfg -- SkywalkerXL


 * Siehe jetzt de.swfanon.wikia.com :-) --rieke 18:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry!
Entschuldige das ich schon wieder nerve. Aber ich wollte wissen wie man es macht das der User

eingeben kann und dann eine Solche Tabelle erhält. Ich habe bei Jedipedia geschaut wie die es gemacht haben und es ist sehr umständlich. Gibt es irgendeine Anleitung oder eine Vorlage oder so? Cade Skywalker 20:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hallo, solche Vorlagen muss man immer zuerst anlegen, damit sie dann vielfach eingesetzt werden können. Ein ganz frisches, neues Wiki kann – abgesehen von allgemein und oft verwendeten Dingen – solche Vorlagen nicht „von Haus aus mitbringen“, da sie viel zu speziell sind; es gibt schließlich abertausende Vorlagen für Bibeltexte, Fußballclubs, Verwaltungsgliederungen oder sonstwas ;-) Aber ich helf Dir mal mit einem Beispiel. Das ist eigentlich nicht schwierig, wenn man's einmal verstanden hat :-) --rieke 22:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Genau so meinte ich das. Das Prinzip ist ja zum Glück relativ einfach gehalten. Vielen Dank! SkywalkerXL 15:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Danke
Hallo Rieke, danke für die nette Begrüßung. Ich habe sie eben erst gefunden, da ich mich nur sehr selten hierher verirre. Herzliche Grüße aus Göttingen --Frank Schulenburg 16:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

WarWiki again
Hello, Rieke!

So, first of all, thanks again for giving me sysop status on WarWiki. Now, I was wondering that could I also recieve bureaucrat status on WarWiki? The project is (unfortunately) inactive, and just in case if some adminship-worthy users pop in, I'd like to be able to make sysops.

According to this page, the founder, Bigpimpn0706, became inactive and as I've seen, he hasn't been that much around...

What other places you think would be good for advertising that Wikia than newsbox and English-language Wikipedia?

Sorry to bother you again. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * done. There are some good tips at Forum:Attracting Contributors. --rieke 13:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Seeing as the WarWiki has a (very inactive) mailing list, I'd like to know could I administrate it? On the bottom of a page it says "War-l list run by bigpimpn0706 at yahoo.com, beesley at gmail.com". Well, the second is obviously Angela's email, but seeing as Bigpimpn0706 is not active...or should I ask this from Angela and not you? :) Thanks! --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I could change this easily. Could you send me a mail with the e-mail address that you want to use for the mailing list? --rieke 13:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd like to use wikia.jack@gmail.com for the mailing list as I created that account for Wikia use. And thanks for the bureaucrat status and everything! =) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * And for your information, I didn't send an e-mail because I want that address above to be registered for the mailing list (and even possibly get that list up and running one day...). :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yap, did you get the password for the mailing list then? --rieke 16:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I got two mails from the mailing list, the confirmation code and a welcome message that included the password I chose for myself. Nothing else. Or what part am I not getting now? :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Everything's ok then :-) I just asked to be sure. --rieke 17:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay then. Forgive me, as I've never ever worked with newsgroups or mailing lists of any sort. Only MediaWiki and normal web pages. I was just asking because war-l list says "Authorization failed." whenever I try to log as a list administrator and there's Bigpimpn0706's address as a list admin. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Please try again. Does it work now? --rieke 22:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, my name shows up there as the list admin. I feel myself very important or something. :)
 * But the admin interface just doesn't want to let me in. I've triple-checked that I spelled the password correctly, as I did and the pressed "Let me in..." but it still informs me that "Authorization failed.". Strange. And I'm terribly sorry to be such a bugger for a minor thing as this, but I hope that one day that WarWiki has at least 20 contributors (seems a bit hard to achieve, but I'll try to do my best at promoting it). =) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'm glad that you're so committed :-) Hm, now please check your e-mails again. There should be a new admin password for you (that you could/should change afterwards). --rieke 22:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay then. :) I checked wikia.jack@gmail.com and nothing else except two previous war-l list mails (confirmation&info) and a Gmail welcome mail. Nothing in the spam folder either. I've never (before) experienced any problems with Gmail, but some of my friends have said that Gmail tends to lose messages. I'll check back later, but now I've gotta go to get some sleep as it's 0:44 in Finland. Well past midnight...;) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I'm pretty sure you can log in – in the morning ;-) I've found another way *g* --rieke 22:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Everything works now as planned. Thank you once again! ^^ --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Neues Wiki?
Hallo, ich möchte gerne ein neues Wiki erstellen. Ich halte bloß von dem Mini-Wikia nicht sehr viel und wollte fragen ob ich eine richtiges wiki bekomme. Thema: rund um Musik. Ich habe schon 5 Autoren die gerne mitmachen möchten(dauerhaft).
