Help talk:Introduction
Wikia - creating communities
Is it possible to configure the "Editing help (opens in new window)" link on a wikicity to link directly to here? Moreover, I would think this should be the default for new wikicities, since many seem to still have blank ones and I consider this a UI flaw. --Gherald 14:35, 19 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- In general hard redirects are discouraged -- and cross-wiki ones could be especially confusing. However, you could give links (soft redirects) suggesting that the user go here and to the sandbox. And I agree that it would be a good idea to set up new wikicities with a few pages like this aleady set-up with good defaults.
- This one Help:Editing could include a link to this Central Wikicity's tutorial and to the source wiki's sandbox, maybe also to an explanation of GFDL and copyrights? --CocoaZen 19:46, 19 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Using the slash (/)
I'm noticing that some versions of MediaWiki enable something like subdirectories when creating pages like this:
Base Page/Sub Page
This creates the top of 'Sub Page' looking like
<-- [[Base Page]]
But it doesn't seem to quite work right. What am I missing?

- Actually, it works only for some namespaces. For instance you can create a subpage for User pages like User:Athyndmion de LaCité/Oh oh subpage
[edit] Sitemap XML file
Is there a way of uploading a sitemap.xml file to a MediaWiki? -- Careax 17:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
I'll assume by the lack of responses to my post that the answer is no. --Careax 03:50, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User Control
1. Is it possible to control registration of new users by asking them to submit the request, and the administrators would be those who decide on approval of new accounts?
2. Is it possible to lock some pages to prevent unregistered users to see private data of the community?

[edit] Phrase unclear
At the beginning of this help article is:
Each MediaWiki installation ("project"), except that Wikia operates on a shared-login system with common preference settings.
which is a not a sentence in the first place. I have no idea what is intended in the first phrase.

- Thanks, I fixed it. It was due to a mistake or vandalism in December (!).--Pat 08:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Making a Wiki's Logo
My wiki page doesn't have a logo. I created one but I have no idea how to add it. The Wiki page is www.reboot.wikia.com --User:Preator 16:07 January 11, 2008 (CST)
