Thanks for your help with modifying the logo. The faded versions are great. Angela 20:27, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)

War Logo

 * Yes thank you very much. I can not get a new logo though. I think I can get one. Star Wars' Wiki 22:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Admin
Congratulations! You are now an administrator of the Central Wikicity. You might find the how-to guide useful. Angela (talk) 07:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Spammers beware... Splarka 10:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

You had put spamtest.int after the  tag in the blacklist, so it might not do whatever you were expecting it to do. Angela (talk) 00:57, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * My bad. Still worked though (at least for the blocking part). Splarka 02:45, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Welcome to "adminning"! --CocoaZen 02:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

hi i hav a question
do u allow copying of articles from wikipedia to the wikicity? Thanks 212.120.231.162 23:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, as long as you follow and abide the applicable licenses (GFDL in this case), and don't copy the pages for no sensible reason. If the page will remain on Wikipedia in much the same context, there is no reason to make a second soon-to-be-outdated copy when you could just link to it. If, however, you will be modifying it in a different direction than Wikipedia, feel free. Splarka 00:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the help on the category and admin stuff. You mentioned that it is pretty simple to get adminship on an inactive wiki...I think Activism qualifies, since there was only one (!) edit in the past month, until I came on board, on May 24. Sannse suggested that perhaps I and Mark Dilley (the other major contributor) should become admins there...a suggestion which I will pursue. Thanks again. –Nabarry 06:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Noprob. Just leave a note for Angela, or ask a staffer in the live chat http://irc.wikia.com/ . Splarka 07:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Uncyclopedias interwiki
Hi Splarka! I am an editor of Anegkyklopaideia (the greek uncyclopedia). There was a discussion some time ago concerning interwikis (interwiki map) but we still can't link to other uncyclopedias. Do you have any information on that? Cheers. --Dada 17:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, you should ask Carlb on his talk page here (or on Uncyclopedia) about that, as he is mostly the one arranging the interwiki map project. Splarka 21:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Um, "arranging" how? Anegkyklopaideia is Wikia and therefore does not have Special page to work with the interwiki table. Any changes to interwiki (or interlanguage) links therefore require table `interwiki` to be changed directly on each SQL database to list the current twenty-one language wikis for Uncyclomedia Foundation projects. I've tried raising the issue on Bugzilla and user talk:Jasonr ages ago but nothing's been done. Not much more that I can do from here, sorry. --carlb 17:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Check this out
Check out the WarWiki Main Page and check who did. It was Johnny the Vandal. Somebody needs to block him. General Eisenhower


 * You'll have to contact a staff member for that. --Splarka (talk) 23:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Google box
Hi Sparkla thanks for the note about the google box unfortunately my lack of computerese meant I dont understand what to do to get it back!! Could you spell it out for me more simply.. i am also interested in getting the google scholar box up there is that possible. What else can we get put up on the page on an individual basis? Thanks for your helpLifeartist 17:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the note was more for sannse. My suggestion requires edits to the html. --Splarka (talk) 20:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Inciclopedia's slander article
Our policies are almost the same as uncyc's (before uncyc's new 0 vanity policy). The reported article was deleted and the creator was banned as soon as an admin spoted it, three hours after its creation. We usually delete those articles inmidiatly. Most of our admins live in europe, so sometimes this kind of shit can survive a few hours if it's made at latinamerica's daylight time. I wonder why the guy didn't report it directly to us... Anyway, thanks, and If you get anymore complaints just let me the article's title on my talk page and I'll delete it if some other admin doesn't do so first.--Rataube 09:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Cheers ^_^ --Splarka (talk) 10:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Patrolled Edits
Just a hint: You can go to Special:Preferences to the Editing tab and select x Mark edits I make as patrolled. This will remove the little exclamation point from your edits on recent changes. Patrolled edits (when locked on admin only, such as on WikiFur) are a way of insuring that every edit will be viewed by at least one administrator. However, most administrators here don't need their own edits patrolled *grin*. See m:Help:Patrolled_edit for more general info. --Splarka (talk) 06:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, thank you. I was hoping I wouldn't have to click the little link up in the corner every time I edited. >.< Spaz Kitty 06:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh geeze, I saw my User stuff deleted and wondered what in the world was happening. XD Thanks. --SpazKitty


 * Merging histories can be spooky ^_^. --Splarka (talk) 23:31, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, not sure if you're the one to ask, but I was looking at Wikipedia's recent changes tools and wondered if they could be used on Wikia sites as well? --SK

Switch func broken
I have a rather extensive system set up involving the function on the D'ni Wiki, and it all seems to have come tumbling down when the function showed instead a Template:Switch:bla link, which obviously doesn't exist. Is this your or another staff member's doing, is this a php problem (?), or is this a side effect of moving to the function? (If it is the latter, hooray!) —Marco Polo 19:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The syntax of parser functions has changed (actually it changed soon after they were introduced, although Wikia was stuck with that particular version for a long while). Se ParserFunctions (however, they are still be broken temporarily while the upgrade is finalized). --Splarka (talk) 22:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * At the moment, though, I see that neither nor  work. Once these updates are complete, what am I to expect? Can I expect StringFunctions and DynamicFunctions as well? In fact, before, only expr, switch, and ifeq existed. Will we be getting if, ifexpr, and ifexist? Is it safe to proceed with #switch on the assumption that it will work once the update completes? —Marco Polo 23:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, they are all still broken. See Upgrade_bugs for updates. StringFunctions and DynamicFunctions are not official functions, but the author User:Algorithm has written them for Uncyclopedia, and several of his extensions have been adopted Wikia-wide (such as forum and choose), so it is possible. I'd hold off changing anything until the ParserFunctions start working properly. --Splarka (talk) 23:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Now that the parserfunctions are working normally, just use those ^_^.--Splarka (talk) 04:00, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Think again
This is darth shawdon the brother of darth mavoc he was the one who made up the other identidy what ever it was. So I don't know why your taking this out on me. If you don't belive you should get banned your self for being a bad administrater. So if you don't let me in i'm going to do every thing I can do to get me back in i've only vandalised once on my brothers (darth mavocs) page because he was pissing me off. And someone like Maulyoda or ewokfist will give me a fair tryal and will see the truth unlike you!


 * Making threats is not a productive way to request unbanning. --Splarka (talk) 10:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

David Lill
Please ignore my brother (above), he has no experience in diplomacy. Anyway, I came here to ask if you could unblock me. I would like to tell you what happened but Bobby might be watching. Ask Bub, he can tell you what I already told him.
 * I saw. --Splarka (talk) 23:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Saw what? Never mind, you still haven't answered my question, can you unblock me or not?

Sorry
Nothing to see... move along.... (problem that was here is now solved :) -- sannse (talk) 19:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

X-Files Wiki CSS
Thanks for trying to help out at the X-Files Wiki, but the tables at the left side looked even worse! The links at the top seemed better, though, so I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what parts of the stylesheet you changed to effect that section. --Mulder 15:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You can check the diff to see what I added. Readd all the stuff you just removed, except the .portlet li {} section. to just change the links. --Splarka (talk) 03:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I managed that, thanks very much for your help. :) --Mulder 17:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Article for Uncyclopedia
IP created article and described it as ''I tried to put this on Uncyclopedia. Please move it there. Thankyou.'' Could you please take a look a decide something, becouse maybe it was deleted from Uncyclopedia and then goes here? Szoferka 16:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, out-of date now. Szoferka 16:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

?
Splarka please tell me this at my talk page on swfanon, where you at the Haven editthis yesterday and did you or not ban those vandals? - DV
 * As I already said I've never been there. Thanks for the accusation. --Splarka (talk) 03:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Bad Timing
Ah, then the ad move and the vandalism was just a bad coincidence for me. Thanks for the info! --CocoaZen 01:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Adding Campaigns
I don't have plans to contribute much to the Campaigns Wikia at this time (but you never know...). However, I'd be happy to help keep an eye on it. --CocoaZen 20:53, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you know who came up with the term Wiki Walk? --CocoaZen 20:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * So, good thing you're only corrupting me partially ;-)
 * I'll keep an eye on Campaigns. No ballot box stuffing 'round here.  --CocoaZen 17:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Protection
A blocked vandal is flooding recent changes by vandalizing his talk page. Could you protect the page? Bub 20:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hi: I'm Onipsis, admin. of Inciclopedia. Ratabue, bureaucrat of the Inciclopedia said to me one day that if I had to block a range of IP directions, I should ask you for it. Now, I need to know how to do it so I would be grateful for you very much if you were explaining it to me. Please, forgive my low english level. --Onipsis 16:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I had answer already. Szoferka 17:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

DofusFr administrators
Hello, and thanks again for your explanation about the interwiki links ^^. The french Dofus Wikia was founded by Fenn, but he has been inactive for more than 4 months. On top of that, I cannot send him any e-mail and it seems that there is no other administrator or bureaucrat on this Wikia. I would like to become administrator (or bureaucrat) on this Wikia, could you please tell me who I should contact and what is the process to follow? Thanks. — Ethaniel 16:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll ask, keep editing ^_^. --Splarka (talk) 22:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much \o/ ! Don't worry, I think I'm rather responsible :p... — Ethaniel 08:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Move the Boxes at the left side
Is it possible to move f.x. the search-button at the buttom? If, how?

Fixing Psychology Main Page
Wow! thanks Splarka. Thats really good now, we've kept our formatting and can edit the pages too. The only thing I changed was that you'd left a big space between the headline and the first section, but i fixed that by removing the margin:2em part.

Thanks! Tom Michael Mostly Zen (talk ) 00:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Recent Changes page
Hi, it's Kwenn from the Pirates of the Caribbean wiki. First, I'd like to say a big thank-you for the work you've done with the Forum. Cheers! A quick question: how can I edit the Special:Recentchanges page? I assume it has a MediaWiki location, and I wanted to add a few Special page links to the top (i.e., New Pages, New Files etc for ease of use). Thanks - Kwenn 10:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

MA/en "wantedpages" list
Hi Splarka - I'm back ;) Thanks for your work on the wantedpages list over at MA/en. I did some changes to the CSS to avoid double "," showing up in case of hidden entries. Maybe you can re-use that on some other wikia. -- Cid Highwind 11:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

SWFAOL
Somebody has been vandalising with AOL. Now as i use Aol, i cant sign in or edit. Please use a specific ban, instead of a range ban. Thanks.


 * And who are you? --Splarka (talk) 00:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

range block on IP 61.88.131.188
yeah splarka, heres the story. my mate tumble-weed is trying to become an admin on swfanon. i cant elect him because there is a range block on our schools IP for "Vandal range" i am not the vandal nor is tumble-weed but there are other user at our scholl who do vandalise. please no more further range blocks please. thanks, Grandmaster Malak


 * Here is an idea: don't try to edit a wiki from a school, you'll just attract over-the-shoulder vandals. --Splarka (talk) 00:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Lou Franklin
I've read his Wikipedia history, so I know there is no reasoning with him. But because he threatened lawsuits against Wikipedia, I want to be sure that we have and follow a process before just banning him. That's why I called for a vote on the Category question, to force his hand. If (when) he changes the category on the same-sex marriage pages after the vote takes place, we'll be within our rights to ban him. Right now he's just expressing his opinion, which is what Campaigns is all about. If Wikia wants to take action before that, that's up to you guys. I'm just going to do what I feel is right. Chadlupkes 13:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * 3RR? Not sure what that is.  Chadlupkes 21:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

If you fixed my display size issue thang....
...then thanks, dude. If you didn't; well, that's weird, it appears to have fixed itself. Ahh, the internet would be a great thing if it didn't require all these stupid computers to run it. Codeine 12:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I did find the problem, and forced the devs to fix it, yes, after 2 or 3 more people reported it. Took a while as I had to find someone with a malfunctioning IE to test it on. --Splarka (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Template problem
Morning. Could you have a look at w:c:computing:Template:Infobox os if you have a moment? It's way beyond me, and something is wrong. Ta, -- sannse (talk) 18:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
