[edit] If has the question to need to assist

Cannot understand English, how only understands Chinese to seek the assistance?--黑底屍找我) 05:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Zeyi will be able to help you. You can also email us in any language here and someone will try to help. Angela@Wikia (talk) 10:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks your direction, is quite big to my help, thanks.--黑底屍找我) 08:10, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Dear Angela, nice to meet you. Just to notify you I am a newly appointed administrator of zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com and I will be the main contact point of zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com. I am able to write and read English, and I am being appointed because of this. --Leeyc0 13:43, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Serious vandalism in EVCHK

Dear Angela,

I am writing to report someone who pretend to be my user-name to vandalize in EVCHK (The Encyclopedia of Virtual Communities in Hong Kong). Please delete these accounts as below:

As the vandalism in EVCHK become worst, I want to ask for investigation in this issue.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Tcshek (Tommy Shek)

--Tcshek 05:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

While we cant delete the accounts, they have been blocked permanently, and we have taken steps to prevent more of the same from happening. There is only so much we can do to prevent dedicated vandals without disrupting access for others. --Uberfuzzy 07:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] request

Hi Angela, my username is Dragonfly95 on Wikipedia.org, and I was wondering if you would be able to change it to Oxford1984. My eternal thanks if you could, as I am pretty sure you're a beaureaucrat. Thanks, Dragonfly95220.253.18.85 06:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but Wikipedia has a strict policy for changing names, so you need to follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Changing username. Since you have only 3 edits there, I would suggest you simply create the other name and start using it instead of going through the rename process. Angela@Wikia (talk) 07:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hello, I've got a question. What staff is responsible for French? I'd like to tell him some things, whose should be done, e.g. help pages, templates like MediaWiki:Edittools and so on, whose are missing in every French wiki. Or can I create them by my own for the French wikis? Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 22:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I've replied here. Angela@Wikia (talk) 01:05, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks and yes, I'd like to manage a French Central Wiki, like the German. I may become helper, you may know, if Avatar aksed you on thursady. It's in your hands. I'd really like to run a French Central Wiki. If you crate one, I'll work on it alredy tis evening. I saw you undestand a little bit of German? Funny, because I am German. ^^ Greeds, Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 10:17, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Can you do the request? I can't, because of I can't start a wiki with the name starting with a language code. Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 17:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
This now exists at w:c:fr. Angela@Wikia (talk) 06:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 07:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I've got a problem: The link redirects to Central Wikia when I press it. Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 07:33, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for not noticing that! I've reported the problem and hopefully it can get fixed today. Angela@Wikia (talk) 07:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, once more ^^ Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 07:55, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't want to disturb you annymore with this, but it still doesn't work. Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 13:37, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
It's finally working! Sorry for the delay. Angela@Wikia (talk) 10:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
No problem, I want to ask you: how do you like the skin, I made for it? Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 10:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advertise

Hello,

I have really many, many advertises on my wiki. Much more than on other wiki? How for have less? It's big windows on every pages. Is it possible to have advertises only on the right, in a column or something like that?

Thanks.

http://tory.wikia.com

It ought to have no more ads than normal. If you're logged in, you will only see one ad on the home page and none anywhere else if you're using the standard monaco skin. Please let me know if you're seeing more than that. Angela@Wikia (talk) 06:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ask besides Zeyi

If has Chinese Wikia question to seek help, but also who can look for? Zeyi had already been missing, is nearly may the evaporation describe.--黑底屍找我) 03:04, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Zeyi is unable to enable the Wikia website member for a long time to contact with him, obviously he is not suitable the contact person who holds the post of the Wikia Chinese.--黑底屍找我) 03:09, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but Zeyi is away at a conference right now. Is there anything I can help you with? Angela@Wikia (talk) 10:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Because my English ability is not good, some conditions are unable to express correctly accurately by English, therefore needs a Chinese contact person. If may, I whether can recommend a friend to replace KJ or Zeyi role?--黑底屍☎找我☎ ) 04:22, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need To Revoke Admin Status

Hi, my name is Laura (aka Spike's Girl). My wiki is http://thatguywiththeglasses.wikia.com/wiki/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses_Wiki.

I accidentally granted admin access to someone who I thought was a member of the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses website. His username is 2girls3acrowd. I caught him using his admin powers to block myself and the other admins off the site, as well as unblock a user who had vandalized one of the pages yesterday.

I have currently banned him, but would still prefer to have him off my admin list. Could you please look into this? Thanks.

Hi, I've removed his admin rights -- sannse@Wikia (talk) 17:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Backup Link

Dear Angie,

When I first set up my wiki and told you it was a back up, you stated that you could copy the pages of the most current version of the original to wikia. Is it possible to make that link constant and have the ability to break it if something goes wrong. This would instantly take any updates from the original and add it to the wikia here and would save alot of copy and pasting. Isd it possible? - Xanadu1 12:28 (GMT) 29th October 2008

I'll leave you a message on the lyoko wiki about this. Angela@Wikia (talk) 13:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting the closing/move of yuriba.wikia.com

Hello Angela. The admins and I at the Yuriban Encyclopedia intend to close our wikia. Please contact us with information on how to go about this?

[edit] Wikia

I believe I sent you an e-mail regarding creating new accounts. I'll just say it here. I'm an admin from a wikia, and I was just wondering why new user accounts are disables. Is there a problem going on? I have my account from a while ago, but other people cannot create accounts. It complains that it cannot register "at this time". Could this be something you could fix?--☆Tavisource-The smart boy with the power to stop you! 06:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How to

How do i make a person sysop? My wiki about ACDC has a person worthy. FxC is the users name. How do i make the user sysop? Respond on my talk page. Thanks!ZZ Top 13:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I am FeathertailxCrowfeather 4ever. FxC is a nick name, I thought you might need the full username...--FxC **The Waterfall** 13:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

If you are a bureaucrat on the wiki, you can make someone else a sysop by going to Special:UserRights, putting in their name, and checking the sysop box, and hitting save (entering a log message if you want to). --Uberfuzzy 15:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TT Wiki

I've noticed the content has moved. I've also noticed my username, which was "I Lion Heart I" on that wiki, is listed as "Zeldapedia-I Lion Heart I" in pagehistory. I find that funny... --I Lion Heart I 16:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi ILHI. I've sent you an email about this. Angela@Wikia (talk) 21:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder

Because Zeyi is unable to enable us to trust entrusts, therefore we will look for a familiar English voluntarily the friend will hold the post with the Wikia contacting contact person.--黑底屍☎找我☎ ) 07:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IRC issue

As you may have been told, the Star Wars Fanon IRC channel (#swfanon) recently had a bit of a problem. One of the other SWF Administrators told me that on #swfanon IRC, all of the Operators had their flags removed so they could do nothing but basic operator commands, not being able to add to the Op list or anything else. This happened four days ago, within the same hour. The only ones who were not affected by this were the users Manticore, Jack Phoenix, you and possibly one other person. I'm told that Wikia and Freenode are clearing it out and should be fine by tomorrow, and that they won't be able to do it again, but if at all possible I would appreciate it if you would be able to tell me who did this so we can deal with this matter in accordance with our IRC policies. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:03, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I don't know who did this, but JSharp is going to sort out the problem and re-add the admins. Angela@Wikia (talk) 22:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll send him a message to see if he knows. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hitman Wiki

I am wondering if you may promote me to bureaucrat and/or sysop of Hitman Wiki. As of now there are no bureaucrats or sysops on Hitman Wiki. Also, recent vandalism/spam happened there. I understand if you are not willing to promote me as I have not been very active there lately. Personally, I would like those powers because times may call for those abilities.Y462 (TalkContributions ) 03:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

You may disregard these messages on your talk page. I did not notice the template on the top of the talk page. I apologize for any inconvinience I may have caused. Y462 (TalkContributions ) 03:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Configure interwiki code in Uncyclopediae hosted by Wikia

Dear Angela, I have just received my first support request from Chinese Uncycloedia and need your help. May you help us to configure interwiki code for the following new Uncyclopediae to all Uncyclopediae hosted by Wikia?

Language code Link
km http://km.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/$1
lo http://lo.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/$1
oc http://oisquipedia.org/wiki/$1

Also, we would also like to have these ISO639-3 codes as an "Alias" of the following existing interwiki. (The original interwiki code still need to be kept, don't delete them)

ISO639-3 Current interwiki code Link
cmn zh-tw (Min Nan) http://uncyclopedia.tw/wiki/$1
yue zh-hk (Cantonese) http://uncyclopedia.hk/wiki/$1

Thank you very much. --Leeyc0 14:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear Angela, what's the status about this? --Leeyc0 12:05, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello. This hasn't been done yet, but will hopefully start working within the next week. Angela@Wikia (talk) 06:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi :) I just wanted to let you know that I've just made sure everything was added to the interwiki list and it should start working shortly -- JSharp (talk) @Wikia 17:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Dear Angela/JSharp, the link is still not working. You may see this for example. --Leeyc0 06:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User levels

Well since you have been watching The Elder Scrolls Fanon Wiki, I suppose you know what this wiki is. Anyway recently I must say that the Golden Age of the Wiki has begun. To boost the Golden Age's effects and to encourage her too, I need you to install these User Levels. The User Levels are points that a user gains by editing. I believe that this will encourage the new users to edit, and others to joing the community. George Skywalker 20:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Demotion please.

A user from the Usertendo Wikia has resigned as the founder and given control to me and another user, and he requested demotion to a normal user. If you don't believe me, please don't hesitate to ask him yourself. Max2

[edit] http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com is blocked in China

Dear Angela, here is our comments about the situation of http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com. As you may already know, there is an extensive internet censorship in People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau), which is nicknamed "Great Firewall" (a portemanteau of "Great Wall" and "firewall"). http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com is one of the victim under the Great Firewall. However, which seems strange and self-contraditing, another Chinese Uncyclopedia (non-wikia, http://uncyclopedia.tw) is not blocked. Without the contribution of Uncyclopedians from PRC, Chinese Uncyclopedia would never be complete.

As a result, we believe that http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com can be unblocked by Chinese goverment through negotiation. We believe that the unblocked request is best filed by the domain owner, i.e., Wikia. If you need assistance about the procedures of filing such request, you may contact me. (However, all of the Chinese Uncyclopedia administrators probably doesn't know much how to file such request either, including me. Anyway, we can seek for resources if necessary.) --Leeyc0 13:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello. We have gone through these procedures, and Jimmy Wales has also been to China to meet with officials there, but so far we have not had any success in getting Wikia or Uncyclopedia unblocked. It is something which we will keep working on though. Angela@Wikia (talk) 17:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Changing nick

Hi there. I have made a lot of contributions using this nick. But I do not like it anymore. I registered a new nick: *David*. I think I could use that, but I would lose my edit count. So, I want to know if I can change this Davichito nick to *David* or just David, in case it is available. David 01:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Artificial pancreas algorithm project pages

Hi Angela,

Thanks for your help resurecting and editing my wiki project. I'm begun working again, and you will see more progress now.

I'm having an issue with the word-wrapping inside of an editing page screen, which is making editing difficult. Can you help me with this?

Thanks, Mbbradford 21:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Replied at Artificial Pancreas Algorithm. --CharitwoTalk 21:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image help needed at Wrestling Wiki

Can someone help out with images at the Wrestling wiki: [1], a majority of the images uploaded are just taken from a German site. I don't know German, so I havent bothered to go to the site. I'm not sure if the site knows the user is doing it, or if the site even has permission to use those photos in the first place. From the looks of it, the editor just wants the Wrestling Wiki to have images right away: so he just takes them from the site. I've suggested using ones from Wikipedia (which are usually fine), but he refuses to listen. I don't know much about images and the policies about them, so I need some help. RobJ1981 08:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

If we're talking about cagematch.net, the footer states "Eine Übernahme der Inhalte ist ohne Genehmigung des Webmasters untersagt." ("Usage of images without permission from the webmaster is prohibited.") --Avatar@Wikia 11:11, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Creative Commons

Hi,

Sorry to take up your time, because I know you're one of the top people at Wikia, but I was wondering if Wikia would let projects switch to Creative Commons licenses? And by that, I mean the freest of licenses, no NC junk.

I started a Wikia wiki a few weeks back, and have purposely not told anyone about it yet, to build up a structure for the site, so when I let the community of people interested in the topic know, there isn't utter anarchy, but controlled anarchy.

As such, I'm the only contributor to the wiki (aside from a Wikia staff member that deleted some auto-created pages) and I'd like to change the wiki to CC-BY-2.5-CA (Creative Commons Attribution License 2.5, Canada). (The Canada part is because the wiki is about Canada's Wonderland, a theme park, and 99% of contributors to the wiki and readers of the wiki would be Canadian anyway. Would such a license be allowed, seeing that it still supports the free culture movement? -- CWikister 20:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I've replied here. Angela@Wikia (talk) 21:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Widgets translation

Dear Angela! Where can I translate the text of widgets above? I can't find them in Special:Allmessages. --blogadmin vita 12:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

which widgets are you looking to translate. --Uberfuzzy 12:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Box

Hello, can I have a box like the one that you use on your user pages, even though I'm not a staffer/helper? Dancing Penguin (Talk to me! I dare you!) 22:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, of course. Feel free to copy it and maybe even improve it! Angela@Wikia (talk) 23:04, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Thank you! -- Dancing Penguin

[edit] Please Help!!

I need you to help me on Martha Speaks wiki, there's this really bad admin who keeps deleting his, and every else's, user talk page. And he keeps deleting articles and replacing them with his sloppy versions. I need you to either talk to him or give me admin abilities. (P.S. his name is Brandon101) Elbutler 13:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CheckUser issue

I'd much appreciate it if you could take a look at this discussion and comment. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:56, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I've replied there, thanks -- sannse@Wikia (talk) 18:31, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed wiki

I proposed an Inkheart Trilogy wiki a few weeks ago, and have not gotten a reply. Would you please reply to it, because I have put together all my research for it already. Thanks, FxC 15:53, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

The only request by you on requests.wikia.com that i see, Inkheart or otherwise was made today. Please wait a few days for the Wiki request team to look at your request. --Uberfuzzy 22:36, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IP Issue

Wikia is possibly messed up, and is mistaking my IP (98.226.32.129) for another IP. Here are the images.

image 1

image 2

Can you fix this, please? 98.226.32.129 09:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

This is a known server level problem. Our technical staff is working on a fix for this. You can avoid this problem by creating an account and logging in before making your edits, then you contributions will be attributed to your name, and not your IP. You can find links for these in the upper right corner of the screen. --Uberfuzzy 22:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adopting a wiki

I found [2] and would like to adopty it as the founder is... missing in action. I;v made it known on gamefaq and i would like to adopt it since i found it and all.--Jakezing2 03:28, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Please make adoption requests at Wiki adoption requests, many people other then just Angela make choices now. --Uberfuzzy 22:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rights removal

At Star Wars Fanon, the members have overwhelmingly vote to remove administrative rights from Jack Phoenix. I'm going to assume that Wikia would want to make sure we were absolutely positive about this, and the answer is that we are. The current administrators are agreed upon this, as are over a dozen members (the total support for the removal of rights is 18 votes, with 1 neutral and 0 opposition). Therefore, if you could please remove administrative rights from Jack at Star Wars Fanon, that would be appreciated. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ads on Runescape Wiki

I would like some ads to be removed from the RuneScape Wikia. The ads in question are against what our Wiki stands for - they advertise cheats, hacks, and offer faux guides that require giving out personal details. For those reasons, I ask that those ads be replaced with others that are not damaging to our Wiki.

The ads lead to the following adresses:

  • runescapehacks.info
  • pagead2.googlesyndicate.com
  • extremegpguide.com
  • Advanced-runescape.com

Thanks!

Doucher4000 02:53, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation at Chinese Uncyclopedia

Dear Angela, we found that Chinese Uncyclopedia is being copied by 疯狂百科 (translated as "Crazy Encyclopedia") with unknown copyright status. Our site uses CC-by-nc-sa copyright. One of our adminsitrators contacted the site admin of "Crazy Encyclopedia", however we got unfriendly feedback from that site (blocked us), and even attempted to bring up a flame war and vandalize the pages at Chinese Uncyclopedia (and Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia, which is not under the umbrella of Wikia). Our administrators had to apply a site-wide block for anonymous users during nights (UTC+8).

You may already know that Copyright violation is extreamly common in PR China. One of our administrators believe that this is the consequences of PR China imposing information censorship (including blocking Chinese Uncyclopedia), and he makes the following request to Wikia:

The point we wish to raise here is, not the vandalism happened, but rather the copyright violation issue. We wish Wikia to report to Chinese officials about copyright violation of "Crazy Encyclopedia" as a side effect of blocking Chinese Uncyclopedia.

He believes that if let the situation being unsettled, the others Wikia sites will be losers of copyright violation. Sorry for being a little bit tough, becasue our administrator felt that the situation cannot be tolerated any more. --Leeyc0 12:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello. What's the status about this issue? The administrators on Chinese Uncyloedia is still awaiting a reply. --Leeyc0 13:40, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello Leeyc0. Wikia does not own the copyright to any of the content, so it is not legal for us to send a take-down notice. That needs to be sent by the authors of the content. If the site itself will not respond, could you try writing to the company that hosts their site? Angela@Wikia (talk) 14:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
In fact, we already talked to the site administrator, but what we get return is a block at his site and vadalism to Chinese Uncyclopediae (Both wikia and non-wikia one). Thank you very much anyway. --Leeyc0 14:16, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikia Spotlight

Hello Angela,its kinda cool I am talking to someone who started it all. Anyway,can you help I,Zeno Panthakree,make a wikia spotlight for Zombiepedia?

[edit] Blacklist problem

Dear Angela! We wrote az article in the Hungarian Spamwiki (http://hu.spam.wikia.com) about a spamware product, X.R.u.m.e.r (without dots, I transformed the word because the spam filter blocked it). The article borned in Dec 31. 2007.

I want to write new information to this article, but I can't save it, because the spam filter blocks the name of this software (see on top without dots). How can we solve this problem? --blogadmin vita 18:39, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but that text and page title are on multiple anti-spam systems due to repeated constant spamming of the product. You can try talking about it by another name in the article on a different pagename. --Uberfuzzy 15:59, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there,

Can i please have forum admin status on the runescape wikia

I really think they need another forum admin.

I would love it if you would reply on my runescape wiki talk page which is User talk:sigmaker29

When you are done please notify me on the talk page given above on the runescape wiki

Thanks

User:Sigmaker29

Hi Sigmaker, that wiki has an active community with active bureaucrats, so they would need to give consensus for such a promotion. Please see the relevant community page for gaining such a status. Good luck :) --CharitwoTalk 23:49, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh man! I just remembered that wasnt the right wikia!

The right wikia is The skatoony wikia As i am the founder on it i think it is fair to have forum admin rights.

It was actually c0ngratz406 who made it but i use this account for all wikia's now.

[edit] Find an admin

Hello,

I need help to figure out how to contact the administration of the Psychoactives wikia

Thanks,

Matthew

  • Go to Special:ListUsers on this wiki - you'll see the admin.
  • Click on his name and you'll be send to his user page (well, he has no content on it).
  • Try to send him a mail:
    • Click on "E-mail this user" (uh, he has not entered an email address or don't want to receive mails)
  • Leave him a public message:
    • Click on "Discussion"
    • Enter your message and save it.
Hope I could help. --Avatar@Wikia 07:30, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks --Cizagna (Talk) 03:26, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I think Turkish just never got started which is why they have a bad main page right now. I will try to get someone to adopt the French one and fix the problems there. The Russian one seemed to exist by accident, so I've removed it from the list for now, but if any Russian speakers want to start that, I can reopen it. Angela@Wikia (talk) 04:34, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Mmmm I sort of see i got confuse at the Turkish with the 2 main pages w:c:tr.Dofus:Ana sayfa and w:c:tr.Dofus:Ana Sayfa (this is the one that got deleted and recreate see logs) and the links direct to a forum that can only be access if you're register --Cizagna (Talk) 21:12, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Delete Revisions

Hello Angela. Could you please delete and restore a page where a user made edits and then reverted it. For example he makes an edit, reverts it, and then continues editing it again. Or can you just delete both edits (edit and the revert) from the history? Please let me know. Thanks. --Balistic Pve (T/C/E) 05:26, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Where? --Uberfuzzy 05:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
At fringewiki. The Main Page and also Season One page. --Balistic Pve (T/C/E) 06:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Also could you please delete the following pages/files : this, this, this, this, this, and this. Please and Thank You! --Balistic Pve (T/C/E) 16:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Done (for most of them), and i've replied in detail on my talk page where you also posted this. --Uberfuzzy 14:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Club Penguin Laws

On Club Penguin wiki, a user disliked the current laws and has suggested new ones. Some sysops have threatened to ban because he is "a rebel" and "they don't like rebels". Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Please help.--Bot finder 01:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


Now I was just blocked because I disliked the "no mentioning pregnancy law". I was blocked with the reason "If he thinks Pregnacy is okay on a children's wiki, he doesn't know what a children's wiki is." Can you please do something? This was a total power abuse.--76.176.143.54 03:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Wikis

Hello Angela,

I just adopted the Left Behind Wiki awhile ago and I just came across another wiki that I think should be merged with mine. The wiki is called Left Behind Kids Wiki and it was supposed to contain information on a spin-off series of the Left Behind series, and the Left Behind series is what my wiki contains information about. The other wiki has been abandoned for quite awhile now, and I was really hoping that it could get merged. I don't know who to contact about merging wikis so I just came to you.

If the wiki is going to be able to be merged with mine, can I keep the URL of the old wiki and have it redirect to where I want to merge the wiki into mine, and then have the old wiki be totally erased?

Thanks in advance for your help,

--Founder of the Left Behind Wiki, Jonathan W. My talk page / My user page 00:41, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I have a page ready for the URL to redirect to. Happy 2009!! --Jonathan W. My talk page / My contributions / Send me an email 04:33, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] WoWWikians are extremely unhappy - we like our domain as it is, thanks

Angela, since it's holiday season and this is a highly time sensitive issue that a number of significant and valued community members are unhappy about, I'd like to point you at User talk:Gil#WoWWikians are extremely unhappy - we like our domain as it is, thanks / WoWWiki talk:Village pump#Domain name, in case Gil is not online or available right now. I've directed my complaint to the top, as there's insufficient time to re-escalate it, should a lower level not realise and correct the error of the proposed change. Thanks. --WoWWiki-Murph (talk) 00:12, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Would it help if we put back the date for making the change so it can be discussed more? Angela@Wikia (talk) 01:06, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, personally, I'm firmly in the "Stick with www.wowwiki.com" camp, and there are a number others in that camp (including some who are or have been major contributors over the years, and would be a highly damaging loss if they mean what they say about not being interested in continuing if the domain changes). I absolutely do not want to be accused of putting words in other people's mouths, so interpret the comments of others as you see fit, I'm just calling it as I see it, you have the links to form your own conclusions. Frankly, for those of us who abhor the change, I think time is unlikely to make much difference to our general opinions, although it might soothe some wounds sufficiently that they do not call it quits (who knows, it's not for me to say or predict, but I'd hate to see good long term people leave in protest).
For those on a more middle ground, some more time couldn't really hurt - the strong comments are already out there, time isn't going to make that much stronger. Where time would definitely help is for those who might be on holiday, busy with life, not paying attention, etc. If it could be pushed back to the end of January (i.e. approx 1 month to fully consider, with a clear deadline in place), there's considerably less chance of someone feeling left out, and far less scope for people to feel generally aggrieved at the timescale itself. From a UK perspective, roughly 20 Dec to 10 Jan is somewhat of an abnormal period where people are not following their normal routines, so pushing the whole thing from deadline announcement to completion within that period is far from optimal.
I know the concept has been floating around for several months, but it was not so obvious once the Village pump had rolled onwards to other topics, and things had largely dried up "until at least January". It came as somewhat of a surprise to learn than it was happening in 9/10 days time. Yes, it does not exactly contradict the previous statement, but it's still very sudden to go from effectively "sometime / maybe" to "imminent / now".
So, getting back to your question. For me, personally, additional time isn't really going to change things or my feelings on the matter. For some other WoWWikians, it may well help in a number of ways. For all WoWWikians, it sends us the message that Wikia has had adequate time to reconsider (even if the outcome is the same), while fully aware of the negative feeling at the highest level.

[edit] SERIOUS trouble at RuneScape Wiki

Hello, Angela; it's Stinkowing again. This is a VERY serious problem that only recently came up. One of our editors has found a site that is copying EVERYTHING on our wiki (and a few others) word-for-word, impersonating users, and claiming it's all their work.

What's the BIG problem, however, is not any of the previously-mentioned violations. No, the worst part is that this site endorses illegal activities, from making bots to play RuneScape for you (which are illegal, since they most often sell those bots for real life money) to endorsing "private servers" which are usually scams to steal players in-game passwords. In fact, from the looks of it, they MADE these bots and fske servers, which according to Jagex (the company that makes RuneScape) could land them in prison (not to mention get the players that use them enough blackmarks to have them banned nine times over).

I would like you to know that Charitwo and a few others on IRC tonight claimed the site was harmless (with Charitwo claiming that the site had the same "lisence" or whatnot), but obviously, the illegal activities (and the site in general) need to be eliminated. This is a VERY serious offence, and we as players AND editors are not taking this lightly.

Here is OUR wiki (the real deal: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape_Wiki
And the violating site is here: http://www.runescape.headwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page
For an example of the copying done, look up "User:Stinkowing" on both wikis (real and fake).

User:Dtm142 can help you with anything else you need to know, as he's the one who made the attempt to get this resolved on IRC. Thanks a ton! --{{Signatures/Stinkowing}} 00:57, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not involved in this, I was just making an observation. --CharitwoTalk 01:00, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Here's the thread from the RS Wiki forums. -Ilyas from RS Wiki (the signature template doesn't work here :\) 01:06, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Have you tried to make contact with the site? Recentchanges is dead for the last 30 days so maybe someone was just trying something out and then abandoned it and would be happy to take it down. You could try explaining to them that they're not adhering to the license but from the look of the site, I don't think that's going to matter. The hosting site has a contact form here or you could try emailing contact@headwiki.com. Angela@Wikia (talk) 01:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Club Penguin Wiki: Inactive sysop demotion + Archive namespace help.

Hi, is there a way that the Archive namespace which one of the bureaucrats requested for to be created by wikia staff be removed from appearing in Special:random?

Also, We have some 26 sysops and only about 430-40 articles. Were making a list of inactive ones and quitters, so can you please demote them when we're finished?

Thanks in advance, --4th hale (talk) 15:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Wikis Footer

Hi Angela,

I'm the founder of the Toronto Maple Leafs Wiki, and I was just curious as to how you select the wikis for the featured wikis footer at the bottom of the page. Do you select wikis that are in need of growth, or that are focused on a particularly relevant topic in society, or something else entirely? I ask only because I have been having a difficult time creating a community for the Leafs Wiki, as I have found little immediate response from communities such as forums or message boards. It might just take time, I am unsure, but I would be interested in any information you could give me on a better way to promote the wiki, aside from bringing it to the attention of online communities such as the ones listed above. Thanks in advance.

Hey Angela, can you get User:Kirby Fu, also known as User:Cube Game, and all his other sockpuppets to stop harrasing me? It's really getting annoying, he's going to every wiki, creating a talk of mine, and trying to insult me. Thanks, User:Super-Yoshi/sig

[edit] TSWiki namespace

Hi! I need to ask another favour. Back when the original admin created the wiki at editthis.info, the name he chose the wiki to have was "timesplitterswiki". This therefore meant the TSWiki namespace was called "Timesplitterswiki:". And as of the move to Wikia it still uses it of course. You probably guessed, the favour is: Is it possible to make the TSwiki namespace "TimeSplitters Wiki:"? It looks far less messy.  I Lion Heart I 21:00, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Super-Yoshi

Angela, can you block User: Super-Yoshi? who's swearing me, is doing pervy stuff on Userpedia. The proofs are on User talk: Kingbowser99 and in User talk: Scarecrow von Steuben. His IP range is 74.76.0.0 and he uses this IP here to do bad stuff like asking for people's photos http://userpedia.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:74.76.183.54

he also indirectly admitted that the 74.76.0.0 range is his.

Shady Koopa. 22:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry by these bad words below but this is a proof that User: Super-Yoshi is perverted, again sorry.

That's what he wrote for me because i'm reporting him everywhere.

" ...I still dont give a f***, go ahead block me ****ing dumbsh*t **** you suck my **** who do you think you are? your not worth making fun of because your comebacks srsly suck User:Super-Yoshi"

From his deleted talk on Narutopedia, deleted because of the heavy swearing.

Once again sorry by the bad words, I censored some because were really offensive.
