Creating a successful wiki is like climbing a mountain; it can be hard to do alone. At Wikia, we try to write blog posts with helpful tips and suggestions, but thought it might be useful to give you a roundup of the main help resources.

• Wikia Help
  • Whether you just want to get some general newbie information or you need to dive deep into the world of Wikia experts, the official help pages are a great place to start. Check out a full index of advice pages here.

• Content Team/Requests
  • Need help with a custom logo or wordmark? Want to make sure your wiki puts its best foot forward with a cool background? Check out our blog post on giving your wiki a makeover, and read the guidelines for requesting help on the Content Team/Requests page.
• Community Central Forum
  • Are you having trouble getting some of your questions answered? The Community Central Forum is an open page where you can post questions and get feedback from the community. You can also search the forums for specific topics, and help out other users by responding to their inquiries.
• Wikia Staff Blog
  • The Wikia Staff Blog has two great categories for help resources: Tips & Tricks and Advice for Founders & Admins. These blog posts will cover everything from ways to engage users to tips for promoting your wiki. Be sure to follow those specific blog category pages if you're interested in receiving updates on those topics.

These are the official places where you can find answers to your questions, but they aren’t the only help pages that exist. There are plenty of Wikia users out there willing to lend a hand with logos, backgrounds, or whatever else you might need. For example, the Logo Creation Wiki takes requests for help designing logos, themes, and shortcut icons.
