Welcome[]

Welcome to Wikia!

Welcome to Central Wikia, Kangaroopower!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Community Central Forum. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

Stay informed of Wikia news and events by following the Staff Blog.

You can get live help from community members in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- Charitwo (Talk) 21:07, June 11, 2011

RE: How long..?[]

That depends on several factors, such as how many other spotlight requests there are at the moment, and whether you've provided info on your wiki's eligibility for a spotlight. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 19:12, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight Requests[]

Hi. I try to answer the spotlight requests about once a week. If you are waiting on a request you can speed things up by making sure your wiki meets all of the spotlight criteria, so when I do answer you will be approved quickly. You can check for uncategorized pages at Special:UncategorizedPages and stubs are pages shorter than about 300bytes in your Special:ShortPages list on your wiki. -- Wendy (talk) 01:30, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

The special pages should update roughly once a day. But if there's only 2 in there I'd probably click through on them anyhow and see they were categorized. -- Wendy (talk) 02:11, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Patroller vs. Rollback[]

Patrollers can mark new pages (from Special:NewPages) and diffs (from Special:RecentChanges) as "patrolled". Unpatrolled new pages will have a different background color in NewPages and unpatrolled diffs will usually have "!" before the page link in RecentChanges.

Rollback users have the ability to go the History of a page and roll back all the edits from the most recent editor to the previous editor. This function is almost always used for fighting spam and vandalism.

These types of user groups should work the same at both WoWWiki and Wowpedia (which has been down for awhile :-( )-- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 24 Jun 2011 2:26 PM Pacific

Spotlights[]

Hi. It is usually about 2-4 weeks after they are approved that the spotlights are put up. -- Wendy (talk) 03:24, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Coding request[]

It's best to make help requests at Forum:Community Central Forum. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 24 Jun 2011 8:38 PM Pacific

Could you give me a link to the minor edits? TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 17:45, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


Make the minor edits, then give me a link on the edits, so i can decide to keep them or not. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 17:49, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


Everything is good as it is now, do not edit it anymore. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 17:59, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Please do not edit much, we like it this way, if you continue to make bigger edits, i'll protect the main page. TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 18:03, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

More Admins![]

Hey Kangaroopower!

I saw your post on the Admin forum, and wanted to make sure you were aware of our Wiki promotion thread over at Founder and Admin Central: http://on.wikia.com/promote :)--Trellar WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:47, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Your js[]

How did i help you with it? I saw your edit just before. Apparently these days, i help users with out even knowing it, eg:Spike. See ya! TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 02:32, September 17, 2011 (UTC)


Hi there, thanks for your response on my talk page. I think if you'll check with wikia staff you'll find that whenever any bureaucrat feels they no longer wish to maintain a wiki and don't have any viable members who want to take over the wiki, you can request a wiki be deleted. I on the other hand have asked the members if they'd like to step forward to volunteering to run it, and if we get someone who's willing to undertake the effort and shows that they are an active participant on it, then I'm more than willing to turn it over to them. Otherwise as I clearly stated, it meets the criteria for removal as even the staff periodically clears old wiki's out that are not being maintained. Regardless of what either I or you think, if in fact it can't be done, I'm sure the wikia staff folks will be the first to let me know :) Thanks and take care.  Councellor  Talk  Contribs  Retributions Blade  06:28,10/4/2011 

On the contrary, Wikia generally only closes wikis that break the Terms of Use, and normally keeps wikis with any sort of content at all, even if there are no editors there -- RandomTime 06:33, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
Well actually I'm happy to say our discussion is a mute point anyways as we have an extremely experienced individual who's stepped forward to take over those wikis. Which ultimately was the initial focus for the issue. Thanks for discussing this with me. Look forward to an even better wiki in the coming days.

Hi[]

Here you voted 4 times, max is 3, just to let you know ;) Vĕģą-Ďāґķ 20:50, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Ajax undo[]

See if this is what you're after. Cheers, grunny:~$ 10:32, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Making the JS shut down if the wiki's stillg ot the module[]

var version = $('#WikiaRail .WikiaPagesOnWiki').html();
&& version.length != 0

The variable goes in front of the if and the new condition just needs to be appended to the existing list. Cheers! TK999 18:57, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Variables may not contain @ in JS.  Monchoman45  Talk  Contribs  Skystone  19:08,11/24/2011 
Thank you for pointing that out! Fixed now. Thanks again! TK999 19:14, November 24, 2011 (UTC)
