D. Gray Man Wiki

Hi there, I'm an admin at the D.Gray Man Wikia and i was wondering if someone could create an background image. I tried to create some but all of them failed. I hope that you can create one, I already thank you for your time. ProGamerP9 ^{(Userpage ⁝ Talk)} 10:54, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hi ProGamerP9. The wiki looks to be in great shape. I've added it to the approved list and will follow up with you at your wiki. JoePlay (talk) 22:39, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Shrek wiki

I run the Shrek wiki and would like to be able to request a spotlight by the time the next movie comes out after Christmas. We have around 240 pages, but about 75 stubs, so we need to fill up another 20-30 pages before we request. —Preceding signed comment added by Airhogs777 (talk • contribs • WP) 19:19, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Jell-O Wiki

I would love to revamp the Jell-O Wiki's homepage. I need something to entice users to edit. Mr. Grille (talk page) 19:04, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Grille. Please look at the best practices that we require wikis to meet in order to be approved for help. Once the Jell-O Wiki has met the requirements, come back and leave another message, and I'll be glad to help improve the wiki's appearance. JoePlay (talk) 20:41, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Prototype wiki

I recently adopted the Prototype wiki and wanted to request a new background. I couldn't find quality images of the two main characters of the game. I recently found this image on the prototype 2 website. I tried to add Mercer (right side) to the image but it didn't turn out well. Can anyone help us with a new background? I'm also open to any changes/suggestions about organizing the main page (since I haven't completed the contents section). Thank you. Vatsa 11:33, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Vasta. Great work you've done so far on the Prototype Wiki! I've added it to the approved list and will start working on your request ASAP. JoePlay (talk) 20:50, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Done! JoePlay (talk) 05:00, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

The World of Cars Online Wiki

Hello, I'm an admin at The World of Cars Wiki and I like what you have at the D.Gray-man wiki. I would like to have a I kind of "line of fire" under the header where it is written wikia, start a wiki, etc. Like the Grayman wiki, which I mentioned, there is a picture of a guy right near the wiki activity button. So i would like the "fire" to be like that but right under the header. And it would not cover the whole area, but only a line right under the header. I know this sounds wierd, but you might have understood by now. So could you please do this in the World of Cars Wiki?

Hi Mcharshy. The only thing The World of Cars Online Wiki needs in order to meet the best practices is to put these uncategorized pages into one or more appropriate categories. Once that has been done, leave a message here stating so, and I'll add the wiki to the approved list. JoePlay (talk) 21:01, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there, I've done all the categorizing. And because the data is cached it isn't updated for me. So I had to double check it all. Some of them also had to be deleted because they weren't related to the game and stuff. So it's all done.

Update:Oh, I forgot to tell you. I don't want a new bg as the existing background is perfectly fine.

-- Mcharshy My Talk[[Special:Editcount/Mcharshy|Special:Editcount/Mcharshy Edits In this Wiki]]Email Me 04:47, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Good job getting those pages categorized so quickly! I've added World of Cars Online Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay (talk) 18:19, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Ao no Exorcist Wiki

Hello, I would like to request a theme for the Ao no Exorcist Wiki. With THIS image as background tile. Also could you make it with THIS image as the background on the left side. Or with THIS image. but I think it would look better if you put the image below with another one which I can't find. Which is with the other character like in the first picture. I will try to find it if I can.DSM144 19:00, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

This one on the right side (without the texts).

Hi DSM144. Be sure to read the best practices criteria. There are a few things the Ao no Exorcist Wiki needs to do in order to be approved, such as making sure there are no uncategorizes pages, reducing the amount of stubs (short, incomplete articles), and reaching the 100 article milestone - only 10 more to go! When these things have been completed, come back and leave a new message, and I'll add Ao no Exorcist Wiki to the approved list. JoePlay (talk) 21:18, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Survivor Wiki

Hi! I have been the new admin of the Survivor.wikia site, thanks to Ohmyn0. The 100kb thing is so limiting, so I kinda need somebody like you to help me make my wiki makeover. Since April, I'm trying to save the site from bad edits, unecessary pages and fanfics that have been placed there as articles. I am halfway over from making over the articles, finishing the first eleven seasons and currently working at the twelfth.

Our current wallpaper is the Survivor 10th anniversary buff, and i'm getting tired of it. I kinda want to have a darkly-wallpaper with Jeff Probst (preferably a picture probably taken by sunset). The Main page i think needed some overhaul. If there some disconnect, The wiki logo needed some change to fit the new wallpaper. Thanks. Iankevinsevilla 23:46, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Iankevinsevilla. The only thing Survivor Wiki needs in order to meet the best practices is to put these uncategorized pages into one or more appropriate categories. Once that has been done, leave a message here stating that it's been done, and I'll add the wiki to the approved list. JoePlay (talk) 22:27, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Pandora Hearts Background

Ok, I'll work hard on filling the requirements on Ao no Exorcist Wiki. I wanted to ask if it is possible to make a background for the Pandora Hearts Wiki. It has 100+ pages and I think that it'll fill the requirements. DSM144 18:34, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

The wiki is in good shape, so I just added Pandora Hearts Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay (talk) 18:37, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Over at the OgreLair.org Member Wiki we had a redesign pre-Oasis and its mostly still okay, but we were hoping for some talent at sprucing it up a bit now that Oasis is here. Any help would be much appreciated.   Hooper   talk    contribs    email   20:23, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Tak and the Power of Juju Wiki

Hello. I would like to post this request for the Tak and the Power of Juju Wiki. I adopted the wiki many months ago, and I created my own background and wordmark. While they work, they are not that great. The wiki is starting to get more users, and I think a good looking Wiki would attract more. We meet all criteria, but if you do cannot except our request, that is fine. Thanks. {{SUBST:User:DaRanger/autosig}} 14:17, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hi DaRanger. I see by the recent changes that you've been adding categories to articles. As I write this, there are still 10 that are uncategorized. I'm sure you can and will quickly take care of those, so I've added Tak and the Power of Juju Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay (talk) 17:22, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

The 07 Ghost Wiki

Hello, I'd like to request a background for the 07 Ghost wiki . I adopted the wiki a few months ago and have worked very hard on making it look nice, it has about four active editors at the moment so help is appreciated, and I believe it follows the requirements. If you can't accept the request, that's alright, and I'll try to improve it. BlahBlahBlahLOL 19:06, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

The inFamous Wiki

Hello there good sir! I am War Clown, active bureaucrat of the inFamous Wiki, here to make a request. After running several tests for some background images at the wiki (which all ended with either failed or mediocre results), me and some colleagues thought it was best that we leave it to your awesomeness. I'm pretty sure the wiki has met the pre-requisites for a request so, I hope you can help us with the background design. Design the BG with what you think is best, though several colleagues have this image in mind as a suggestion for you to use. Thank you for your time sir. --WarClown ^{Frequency: 149.94} 10:53, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hi WarClown. The inFamous Wiki is in good shape, so I have added it to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay (talk) 22:28, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Hello again sir. I'd just like to show this other pic recently uploaded by an editor at the wiki. Thought that it would also suit the wiki well. Anyways, again, please create what you think is best for the wiki. And that is all. Thank you for your time sir. :) --WarClown ^{Frequency: 149.94} 12:56, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Harry Potter Fanfic Wiki

Hello! I'm the founder of this wiki and we have been wanting to request from here for a long while. As we are a very small wiki, it has taken us ages to get 100 pages, but now, finally we have! We have a few short articles, but we are working hard to try to extend them. I think everybody over there agrees that it would be great to get this wiki looking new so as to try and attract new contributors. I really hope that you can help us!

Hi Zangetsukakashi. The Toriko Wiki looks good for the most part, and I see that you have been very busy improving it. The only thing left to meet the best practices criteria is to add these uncategorized pages to one or more appropriate categories.

Deadman Wonderland Wiki background

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to make a background for the Deadman Wonderland Wiki. The wiki has improved a lot and the only thing that's still bothering me, is the poor background.

Hi! I'm an Admin. on Pokemon Answers Wiki and I'm requesting you to shape up and make the skin, backgrounds and homepage look quite attractive, because its a bit messed up :D.

John Carter of Mars wiki

Hello, I would like some help getting barsoom.wikia.com into shape! The subject matter of the wiki is the connected universe of Edgar Rice Burroughs mars, venus, pellucidar, and tarzan series. But the emphasis is on the mars series. John Carter of mars is likely to see a huge boom soon, as there are two ongoing comic series, with two more series on the way (one in july and the other in september!). and it isnt just comics, the first three books of the series are being reprinted (a princess of mars, gods of mars, and warlord of mars) with rather attractive covers. Now here is the most important parts! There is a movie based on the books coming out in less than a year, it is being made by Disney and rumors are abound that there will be a trailer released during comic-con. So I really want to get the wiki in shape! ralok 21:06, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hi ralok. What specifically did you want help with? This page is for requesting design work, such as the skin (logo and/or background image) and main page layout. Did you want help with either of those areas? JoePlay (talk) 21:25, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

YES, the main page of the wiki, and the four portals for the specific "worlds" of Edgar rice Burroughs. It needs to look nice, and be functional! ralok 22:01, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

A new background would be nice too I think . . . I just sort of want to rediesign the aesthetics and functionality! The front page in particular ralok 22:23, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I've added Encyclodpedia Barsoomia Wiki to the approved list and will follow up with you there. JoePlay (talk) 22:33, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Can we have a background for the Looney Tunes Show Wiki? An idea is having Bugs Bunny to the left and Daffy Duck to the right (with a background), possibly like the Glee Wiki? Thanks! -- Webkinz ManiaTalkBlogsContributionsEditcount 17:45, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

In addition, any other advice or guidance in a genera visual "overhaul" of the wiki would be appreciated.

portals john carter wiki

okay . . . I once again . . . sadly need help. Every day the trailer for the film "John Carter" gets closer and closer. People are going to be asking, "who is john carter" it will be a mystery to many people . . . Naturally for many people the reflex is to type in (namehere).wikia.com to learn more. Johncarter.wikia.com has a wonderful front page I think (curtesy of joeplay, bless that man) but the individual portals need to be redesigned! http://barsoom.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:The_Martian_Tales this is the most I have been able to do, there are four other portals . . . . . . any help would be greatly appreciated. ralok 19:16, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
