This is a minor complaint, but it's still bugging me a bit: The icon on the top right hand side and the icon on the user page are two completely different icons. I can't tell if this is a glitch or not, because it never happened to me before.
Hi. Are they both icons you have used at some point? Did you update your icon recently? Which one is supposed to be the current one? And which one shows up on your wall posts?
Okay, my friend, Sboy21 was globally disabled on Wikia of his underage. He, right now, is twelve. He will be thirteen in sixteen days! Will you be able to unblock him then? Because he has a remarkable contribution on the Regular Show Wiki, with a lot of edits and being an administrator. Because I know many people who as been unblocked globally when they hit thirteen. Will you please unblock him when he turns thirteen? Thanks.
Hi. As I already said, we cannot discuss details of users blocks (or disabling) with other users. Sboy21 needs to contact us directly himself with any questions.
Hello, Sannse. Two users, Pops Maellard 300 and Sboy21 has both been blocked globally by Wikia. You can find them at the Regular Show Wiki, though, I have no idea what happened. Can you please look into this and find out what happened to my friends? Thanks.
ONE DAY I TRIED TO BLOCK YOU IN MY WIKI JAIMETENDO, REG, and block OTHER STAFF BUT CAN NOT ALREADY KNOW, SORRY FOR TRYING TO WALK AI BLOQUAR STAFF now regretted descuple, SORRY, I DO AND MANY SUCKPUPETS to protect my identity. Descuple the hassle here, because of me
Haha, I found my old infobox template in wikia central. I think I was the first to develop the infobox template. Is the current default infobox template a development of this old template? I ask this because I see that the parameters and also the instructions of the current default infobox template are still the same as my old infobox template, only with a newer look.
Hi. I saw your message and just wanted to make a quick reply. I'm not familiar with the entire history of the infobox development, so I can't say for sure how they did it. The infobox on central is a little different from the ones on most of the other wikis; but they do all seem to work from the same basic idea.
Admins are generally allowed to manage their wikis in the ways they deem most appropriate, and staff generally doesn't intervene in user disputes. However, if you feel that someone is violating our Terms of Use in an extreme way, please reach us at Special:Contact with more detail.
Hi. Have you talked to the local admins about changing it for something more appropriate? They would be the best ones to handle this type of change. However if they are not responding and you are truly concerned about a copyright issue, please make a report at Special:Contact.
Suddenly I can edit on this library computer, I hope things will be OK back at home but I don't know yet. I'll do as much of my admin duties as I can before this library session ends. Proxima Centauri 14:56, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
I'm now OK with both computers at home. It's taken me a large part of today to rid this computer of cookies so I can edit with both computers and without advice from PC World I couldn't have done it. I fear other users who aren't computer savvy and who can't get expert help may have the same problem as I did. Proxima Centauri 15:44, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for letting us know you had to clean up your cookies to sort out the issue -- hopefully if other user have the same issue we will be able to help them sort out their cookies as well.
Firebolt is correct -- there was maintance on the chat servers earlier today. If you have further problems with the chat window now, please let us know at Special:Contact!
I'm Proxima Centauri and I usually edit a great many wikis, you know me. I'm also an administrator on several wikis.
For nearly a week I haven't been able to edit, each time I press the edit button I get a message saying, ‘loading editor’, this message just carries on indefinitely and I never get to edit. I’m not blocked and I can rollback where I have that right. I’ve tried to log out but I can’t do that either. I’ve seen in RecentChanges that other users are editing.I have my preferences set so I use the Wikipedia style editing and don’t use rich text.Is there a glitch affecting those who avoid rich text? Please sort this out as I can’t do my duties as an admin.
At the moment I’m on a library computer and I’m not logged in, that’s the only way I can contact you. If you reply here I can read your reply at home but I’ll have to return to the library to write anything more. Proxima Centauri
Hello, I've been encountering some problems since the Wiki Chat has been updated. I can get on, but it won't let me say anything. I've tried using a different computer, different account, and waiting before getting back on, but nothing changes. I would appreciate it if the Wiki Staff could fix this soon.
Hrm. Let me try to find out if this is a known bug or not. Have you tried a different browser by any chance? You can, if you like, also send a bug report to Special:Contact.
I was on Redwall Wars Wiki, but I tried to get on the chat here and on Warrior Cats Wiki and it did the same. I'm using my computer, which is a Mac Mini, at my house. We use AT&T as our Internet provider as we use DSL.
Thanks for the further info. I shared it with the technical team. If there is any change or you are able to get on, please let me know. Sorry for this issue!
Ok do you have any time this week where you can chat with one of our engineers on skype about the issue? He would like to ask you to go through a couple of steps and its easist to do that on skype. Please let me know what times may work (and what timezone you are in). Thanks in advance!
Hello Sannse; I'm in a bit of a situation at the moment. For the past two years, I've regularly gotten e-mails from Wikia when an article I've followed is changed. However, sometime last week (it was either Friday or Saturday), the e-mails stopped. I checked my personal settings and somehow my e-mail got unconfirmed. I've been trying twice a day since I noticed, trying to get my confirmation e-mail but I have yet to get it. Do you have any advice?
Hi. If you write in to special:contact using the email from your account we can re-confirm it for you. I'm sorry you are not getting the mails -- be sure to mention that because we can also check to be sure they are still being sent properly if we know the email address.
Hi. I'm Iphoneorange. I have taken interest in the wikia nes.wikia.com. I was wondering if you could help me adopt the wiki, since I don't think the original admin has logged on in a long time. Can you please help? Thanks!
Can you create for me on favicon with England or Royal Family of Great Britain and Please make another favicon Wiki Pottermore Information and the symbol for pottermore be with a P and the background is purple So please I really need the favicon 2 and 2 is for my wiki
Hi. Your English is fine, but I think Sannse says on her user page that she doesn't do favicons any more. I suggest you post a forum (possibly in the admin & founder area) asking for help and see if somebody can make your favicons for you. Good luck!
Hi! Only admins can change the background and other details of the wiki appearance. If there is no active admin on your wiki, you might wish to adopt it yourself :). Good luck!
Hello. On "Goat City Wiki" (Link on my User Facts), a User: "Pangur Ban" has vandalised the wiki. I suspect that the person is Hacking other persons accounts, more namely "User:Richie Cordelia". Please ban him. Globally. http://goatcity.wikia.com/wiki/User%3APangur_Ban
Hi. It looks like the vandalism has been reverted. If you suspect a user has hacked another account, or if you feel the admin is not responding to the vandalism properly please report the issue to Special:Contact so we can investigate the issue.
i'm so confused! some say you Can't add background music but some say you can. i want to add background music to me home page, but all i have are wav files, and mp3's. can i use those? i would like to also know how to.
Hi. I'm afraid I have never seen a wiki main page with background music. It is possible to use mp3s, but you need to write to Special:Contact to ask for them to be enabled; please let us know why you want to use them. For more information, you may want to read our help page on audio formats.
Since Merrystar suggested Special:Contact, I also urge you to take that way. This ensures that the music is correctly integrated into the page structure. Be sure to outline in the contact message why you need the music, with preferably a link to a community discussion (blog or forum about the change). As Sam Wang said, it is also possible with scripts, but Merrystar's comment seems to illegitimize that.
Oh I'm sorry -- I phrased that sort of poorly. I just meant that it's possible to ask for mp3 uploads on the wiki if there is a good reason (by default you can upload ogg files), not that it's possible to enable them to be played as background music in some direct way.
Hi. It is not explicitly against the Terms of Use unless it makes the page time out when loading or otherwise break. However it is likely to make the page load slower which is usually not a good choice for a website.
Was reading this forum in entirety and understand the discussion pretty much ended and was locked to prevent vandalism. The conclusion was that content was exported and hosted on AnimeOTK site.
Recently that server appears to have gone down due to financial difficulties. I am wondering if there's a place on Community which keeps track of non-Wikia free wiki-hosting websites similar to it but that would have accomodating policies. It appears that solution lasted ~3-4 years but now they're floating in the water again.
Hi. I'm afraid we don't keep lists of other wiki-hosting websites. However you can probably find the information you want about them by doing a google search.
I saw (link on Food's message) forum and was wondering if you can test it on Beyblade Wiki as well please. It seems like a cool feature, I already asked one of the admin and he said it was cool, and I do not believe the other admin will disagree. Thanks!
