Note: We've traced down a bug that was causing this blog post
announcement to be mailed multiple times to a number of our users.
We apologize for the error, but the mails should now be
stopped. A year ago, Wikia introduced a new user group across our network
called “Moderators”. The purpose of this new group was to aid
administrators by enabling and designating more trusted users to
keep track of the conversations happening across different Wikia
features, like Forum and Message Wall. Since then,… Hey Wikians. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of a
brand new initiative here at Wikia, one that fans like you will be
given the opportunity to sign up for: the Fan Contributor
Program. Wikia fans possess a special talent: a knowledge of and mastery
over the pop culture landscape. Now, you can take your
contributions on Wikia to the next level with this editorial
training program. Being part of the Fan Contributor Program will
allow participants to share their unique voices and perspect… Throughout 2015, Wikia has been hard at work improving the world
of templates. Templates are a huge component in creating and
sharing content on Wikia and have literally hundreds of purposes
and designs. We have tried to accomplish two things with templates this year.
First and foremost, we've tried to make them more portable.
Portability means that you can read content easily on any device,
whether it's desktop, mobile web, mobile apps, or other second
screen experiences. Tools to help with thi… Hello, Ducksoup speaking! A couple months back, I wrote a very long (but relevant and
interesting!) blog entitled Why Wikia Evolves, in which I explained
why Wikia can't sit still and why we're always trying to stay ahead
of technological changes. As part of that effort, we released a new markup for infoboxes a
couple months ago. The TL;DR there: half of your traffic is coming
from mobile devices these days, and fans who use them should have
the best possible experience when they visit. The first …

Greetings Wikians! I’m very excited to announce a new feature
today - Curated Main Pages on mobile devices. For most communities the main page is its single most viewed
page. Four out of the top five pages on Wikia are main pages, in
fact, and that makes sense — a search for “Star Wars wiki” is very
likely to return the main page as the first result. Main pages on desktop are typically a large collection of
content, galleries, templates, and design elements, representing
each community very well.… Howdy howdy howdy, Wikians! Today we’re (choo-choo!) hopping on the mobile train. We have
mobile app news and features to share. And oh my goodness these
apps are incredibly popular. Wikia released the first five Community Apps in November of
2013. Simple premise: Wikians produce high-quality, engaging
content, and apps are a good way collect and organize content for
viewers. Since then, we’ve released over 100 iOS apps and more than
80 Android apps, with no end in sight. Combined, these apps
surp… Hello Wikians! This week you’ll start to see something new at
the top of article pages — buttons for sharing your community’s
work via social media. These options will make it easier for both editors and readers
to get your wikia’s expertly-crafted content out into the wider fan
universe for your topic. Comments, likes, reblogs, and retweets can
indicate how useful and relevant a page is for others. Some of
those readers might even come visit and make some contributions of
their own!
The logged-in user experience offers a number of benefits on Wikia.
Registered accounts have features like Notifications, Chat, and the
ability to follow articles and discussions, just to name a few. In
the coming months we’ll be working to highlight these benefits more
and see what we can do to drive more readers and anonymous editors
to create accounts. With more motivations and prompts to return to
a community, a user with an account is much more likely to become
an active contributor and d…

Chat Skins Wikia Hello everyone, It's been a while since I posted on Community
Central for promotion, but I've finally come back once again. I am
here to raise awareness of the World War II Wiki and its German
expansion. Both are wikis that very much need your contributions
and both suffer from the same problem of not being able to reach
possible contributors. I know there are many people who are fans of
World War II gaming or war movies for example, so I urge you that
if you are a fan of either, please visit o… Hello, I am Akamichi, an international speaker of 3
different languages and English. So, I've edited many different
Wikis, learned about some, their editing style, and all sorts of
things. But today, or whatever day it is for you; I decided I would
show some good things to do for helping out with editing and
perfecting a good International Wiki. So, let's get started! So, the first thing everyone starts with when creating their
international wiki is... where does this person start? If you're
maki…
Did you know I've already been making chat skins for more than one
year? And did you know I've always published them here on Community
Central first? You may know that because you've been here as well
for more than a year. But now it's time to get bigger and therefore
I've been making a new place for my chat skins.
I've made a wiki for all my chat skins: Chat Skins Wikia. From now on I'll post new
chat skins there first. Though I stay posting skins here, so don't
worry. On the wik…

Are you always searching for messages of your friends in the chat?
Or do you miss a lot messages? Or do you never see your friends are
already in the chat room? Then this script will help you a lot. It
makes the messages of your friends better visible. It also
highlights the names in the right rail.
Just copy and paste what you need from the following boxes. You
only need to add your or your friend's names on the place(s) of the
(red) username.
