[edit] Welcome

Welcome, Joeyaa, to the Central Wikia!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. For finding a helper or a staff, speaking your language, see the page Staff and Helpers by language. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help revert spam and vandalism.

Enjoy! --Balistic Pve (T/C/E) 03:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your anti-spam edits! Angela (talk) 08:18, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem. ;) ~Joey~ ^Talk^ 08:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot Expert Required

Hi Joey,Thanks for popping in the other day. Sorry about the Avatar, I badly needed to step back and have put efforts in elsewhere, I did anyway - but upped the ante so to speak. I'm hoping I'll be back sooner rather than later. (I'm a sad old Avatar fan who misses scrutinizing the episodes)
888 is actually helping me with a wiki thats in been through the wars, is in the dog house and is playing dead. I have asked Zeroo2001 also. If that's a team you can work with :) let me know and we can let the bots loose. 100 pages 90% bad 50% minimum stubs (mostly one line), duplicates and I stopped counting at 400 needed pages/red links. I'm trying to adopt it before it ends up in the Battersea Dogs Home :)). It badly needs trusted users. Piandao ^Talk 20:05, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

You get free fish and the action! Anyhow, I may return to editing that CSS if you really can't fix it. :) иιƒкч? 10:48, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki name change

Hi, Joeyaa. There was something I wanted to ask you. I have a wiki called the [roadtripadventure.wikia.com Road Trip Adventure wiki] and it is about a driving game. The game is part of a series of games called the "Choro Q series", and as a wiki - to increase stats and users - we decided to expand the wiki for it to cover the whole series not just one game. Problem is, we have to start with a name change first and foremost, and I was wondering if you knew anyone on Wikia that is staff or a helper, and could change the name of our wiki and also help us change the wiki as well. Thanks. Tigernose (Talk) 17:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Yup, that can be easily done, just a change in the configuration setting of its MediaWiki I believe (or something silly in Wikifactory). Just make a request via Special:Contact and it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck with your wiki! ~Joey~ ^Talk^ 18:02, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Problems

This vote thing is causing problems.. Users are fighting over who wins and are taking this way too seriously.. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 17:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

and surprisingly, its not the nominees, its the voters taking it too seriously.. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 17:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome tool and blog comments

Regarding this report - Forum:New features on Wednesday, March 18th#WWT doesn.27t like blog comments - are you still seeing the issue? If so, can you throw me an example? Thanks! Kirkburn  talk  contr    14:42, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Actually yes, take note that somebody with only one edit which was a blog comment creation was not welcomed. Hope this helps, ~Joey~ ^Talk^ 00:37, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! We'll look into it. Kirkburn  talk  contr    13:31, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Latest update: it appears to be working, but welcomes can be delayed a short while if the servers are lagged (which they shouldn't be, of course!), which could be giving the impression of them being missed. Kirkburn  talk  contr    18:24, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Great! Thanks for the support, although you're probably going to want to look at 6 hour server lag o-o ~Joey~ ^Talk^ 02:10, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Madness?!

Deprecated madness?! I am the Prince of MADNESS! MUAHAHAHAHA! Lol, I laughed at your "Use CSS, not HTML" comment. CSS sucks. ^T 01:42, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
