Hi. Sorry das ich Störe aber ich habe ein Problem. Wie kann ich eine gesamtes Wiki löschen, sodass die Adresse wieder freiwird? MfG 9f1

Hi

Um welches Wiki handelt es sich denn überhaupt und warum möchtest du es löschen?

Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ)  talk  G E SHelper @ Wikia  13:55, 13. April 2009 (UTC)

Ok ich glaub ich hab falsch angefangen. Eigentlich will ich es garnicht löschen, aber mir konnte in verschiedenen Foren keiner helfen. Also hier erstmal das Wiki. http://de.gymnasium-sarstedt.wikia.com/ Das Problem ist, das ich ausversehen bei Name Gymnasium-Sarstedt- eingegeben hab, und nun überall Gymnasium-Sarstedt- Wiki steht. Mit der Leertaste dazwischen. Am besten wäre es natürlich wenn es nur Gymnasium-Sarstedt Wiki heißen würde. Kann man da was machen?

Klar kann man da was machen. Ich gebe das weiter, dann wird sich ein Angestellter mit Zugriff auf das entsprechende Tool darum kümmern. Ich kann dir leider keine genaue Zeitangabe machen, denn einmal ist heute Feiertag und Morgen ist viel nachzuarbeiten, es kann also sein, dass es mehrere Tage dauert, aber es wird geändert.

Ok, danke für die Hilfe:)

[edit] Hey

Hay ich bin ein Administrator der deutschen Grand-Theft-Auto Wiki. Ich habe seit heute ein neues Projekt: die Tom Clancy Wiki und leider gibt es diverse Probleme im Quellcode. Zu meinem Anliegen:

1. Die Lizenzbausteine gliedern sich nicht in das Lizenfenster beim Hochladen ein.
2. Ich habe eine Tabelle die jedoch nicht angezeigt wird auf der Hauptseite.
3. Die Wiki läuft stellenweise einfach nicht

• falls du MSN hast wäre es sehr gut wenn du mich unter marlon_93@hotmail.de adden könntest.

liebe grüße und schönen Tag. Gta psp player ^Diskussion 14:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

MSN hab ich nicht, aber wie du siehst, Skype.

1. Wie genau meinst du - da ist es wichtig zu wissen, wo (in Dateiinfo oder unter Lizenz) (ggf. Link)
2. Hast du mir einen Link dort hin? (wenn im Quellcode, sag mir wo ungefähr/mach einen Screenshot)
3. Ich müsste die Links haben, da ich sonst wenig machen kann.

Schönen Abend ebenfalls. Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper @ Wikia (Talk) 19:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

also, die ganzen probleme dort haben sich aufgehoben. nun wollte ich fragen wie es mit der adresse ausieht. ich kann meine wiki nur unter www.de.tomclancy.wikia.com erreichen. bsw. in der gta wiki, geht dies auch mit www.gtawiki.de. ist es möglich das meine wiki unter www.tomclancywiki.de erreichbar ist ? Gta psp player ^Diskussion 14:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Schön, wenn die Probleme weg sind. Zu deinem weiteren Anliegen: Ich werde prüfen, ob die url verfügbar ist und wenn es geht, wird Avatar die Weiterleitung einrichten. Im positiven wie negativen Sinne werde ich dich dann benachrichtigen. Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper @ Wikia (Talk) 16:06, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Bei den gennaten Domain-Wünschen handelt es sich nicht um Subdomain (unter der Domain wikia.com), sondern um eigene Domains. Solche bieten wir bei Wikia nicht an - es steht dir aber natürlich (wie bei gtawiki.de) frei, dir irgendwo eine passende Domain (z.B. tomclancywiki.de) zu besorgen und auf dein Wiki umzuleiten. --Avatar 09:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] about Chinese starter

hi MtaÄ！ thanks for your invitation. I'm now busy in graduate dissertation,so I'm sorry that it's hard for me to handle another site now.Besides, the technique of wiki（template etc.）is not what I am good at.In fact,now there are few people work in zh.wikia.（and the visitor are also not many）It's not easy to find reliable user to build another site.I'm not fully understand the starter now. Is it possible to make the content or function of starter directly built in zh.wikia.com？--Ffaarr 01:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you autoplay youtube videos on a userpage/article? If so how? User:Kalindrum 10:49, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

No, sorry, there is no way. I've asked for it but no one knows how to do that, I'm sorry. Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper @ Wikia (Talk) 12:42, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the help

Hi Marc,

Since you've helped me so much on the Starter Wiki, and also on Help and Central Wiki's, I'd like to give you a Silver Taskstar (). It isn't much, but just a little thanks for the work you did. Mark (Tedjuh10) - ^Talk 20:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Great thanks! And I really enjoy working with you. So if I can help you - just drop a message on my talk page. Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 20:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Some "freak" has recently created a wiki that is sort of been defamatory toward the french wikipedia and it's users.

• http://fr.forumcitoyen.wikia.com/wiki/FORUM_CITOYEN_Wiki

The main page is a copy of his talk page on of fr.wikipédia where he got banned. If you think this is a serious matter, you can warn the staff about it. Thanks. — TulipVorlax 02:17, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Can i also suggest the guy for sitewide parma ban ?

He insult us using that word while is the one acting like it.

— TulipVorlax 06:06, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Lol, i found another wiki he created with the same purpose :

• http://fr.forumcitoyenlibre.wikia.com/wiki/FORUM_CITOYEN_Bis_Wiki

Now i see that this might be serious enough, i'll alert staff myself pointing them here.

— TulipVorlax 06:25, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, otherwise I could handle that. Did you already inform the staff? Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 09:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

You can delete wikis ?

Yes, the staff has taken care of it all.

The two wikis are closed (but content is available for download, lol). — TulipVorlax 02:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Heh, funny. By now I cannot close/delete wikis, but I can pass it quickly to someone who can do that. I'm quite often online, and because of that you'll find most often quick replies/reactions from me. Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 09:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Translation of my user template

Thanks for correcting the mistakes! Just ask me if I can do something for you ;). Mark (Tedjuh10) - ^Talk 14:42, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, there is one thing: Could you give me this (Auf den Internetseiten Ich spiele RuneScape und Habbo ) in English? I'd like to fix it but I don't know what you mean due to the translation machine :) Cheers, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 14:44, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

That would be;( On the internet I play RuneScape and Habbo ). Habbo & RuneScape are online RPG's. It should be something like Auf die internet spiele ich Link und Link. Tedjuh10 14:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

"Ich spiele die Online-RPGs [link1] und [link2]" Would be a suitable translation. Not exactly the same but in German you don't play on the internet, you just play online. Online RPGs but you need to buy the game first? (I've never played one by now) Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 15:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Habbo & RuneScape are both free and don't require any downloads. Habbo is rather a meet-up community site, whilst RuneScape is a real MMORPG. Tedjuh10 15:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, good to know. If I ever find some time, I'll may take a break and try them :) Thanks for the info! Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 15:10, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Anything for you ;). Also, RuneScape and Habbo are both available in German. Tedjuh10 15:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki Adoption problem

You recently added user Eliskuya2 as a Sysop on the Rosario + Vampire wiki, since you aren't the usual person who does this I'm wonder if you checked to see if they had been block on other wikis?

It appears that the main reason this user wanted to be a Sysop, was to block other contributors and delete the pages and files they worked on. He has also blanked another Users Page and Talk page. None of the blocked users have vandalized the wiki in any fashion. He is not working with the community, instead he is treating it as his own personal site.

I confronted him with this and instead of answering he just blanked his own talk page.

UPDATE- And now he just deleted his own talk page, as if to try to hide it.

Please rectify this situation.--Sxerks 22:07, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I passed it. Sorry, I cannot remove the rights, that's up to Wikia Staff. Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 08:22, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Being (im)mature.

Hi there.

I feel the need to express concern in regards to the way you behave on wikis. German isn't a language I'm particularly strong at, but does this basically mean "Why does the English version of this Wiki need 500 pages to have a link to our site?", or something to that effect?

I'm asking because I consider using a humor site (it's a German UnAnswers, right?) to express annoyance at other Wikia contributors to be very immature, and far from the attitude I expect from someone granted Administrator privileges across all of Wikia.

If you want to ask me about decisions of mine, then please do so, I'll help you with any questions you have. As I said already, I'm not strong at German, and thus I would not keep track of the German Wiki's progress. If it died and was never heard of again before it even got 100 pages, I wouldn't know.

My decision was also influenced by Angela. Would you mind explaining how the two situations are different? Would you care to tell me if you think I went similar questions about Answers@Wikia because of her decision?

I look forward to your response, but I'll be honest - I'm not optimistic. A F K When Needed 22:12, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

This was just some kind of kidding... I know how to behave. And yes, it is unanswers. If I meant it for real, I'd have never written it. I'm not the kind of man writing such stuff, but in fact, I was tired, some kind of bored, and, I found a new bug. I could even have said "Why is Unanswers blue" or "Why does Unanswers look different to Answers". This means: I don't want to blame you, I don't want to make your side bad or anything like that. I've got a quiet special humor in such cases, which you can see at AfW8. Sorry, if I picked the wrong question, I'm really not the one writing questions, but I thought I could pose one.. and now I see, this was the wrong decition. I'll recall: "Better not to use any Wiki in any question if they may be upset of it, I don't want to do anything wrong." Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 08:17, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Spiroupédia

Thanks again for the promotion. Now could it be possible to change "Spirou Wiki" to "Spiroupédia"?... Klow 14:38, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it's possible and will happen soon. You're a native French speaker, aren't you? Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 14:45, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Indeed I am. ;-) Thanks for the name change. Klow 14:54, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. And since your a native French speaker, did you ever visit French Central Wiki or Wikiréponses (Wikianswers in French)? I'd be glad of seeing you there :) Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 14:57, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

I should have a look. It's actually my very first time in the French part of Wikia, being more active on English wikis. Btw, could you change "Accueil" to "Spiroupédia" as the link from the wiki's main logo?... Klow 16:27, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Done. If you have difficulties in viewing, you may change your uselang to French, if you haven't done by now. It's a pity, that you can't set the language by wiki... :( But now, we'd better go on. For any problems, I'm available. :) Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 18:07, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I saw the change. And for the wiki language, I also noticed that sadly the language applies to all wiki. But I'm sure it will be implemented one day or another! Klow 23:07, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] One message

Could you please add the following to w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Wikiavideo-category/nl on Messaging? This one isn't listed in Wikia international:

Thanks! Mark (Tedjuh10) - ^Talk 13:49, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I can. I just did it. I hope, it works fine now! :) Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) Helper (Talk) 16:08, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Problem!!!

Hello. My nick on wikia is Blue Tiger. I have got small problem, I don't know how to change logo on my wiki. My wiki adress is http://pl.eragon.wikia.com/wiki/Eragon_Wiki. Please, help. Thanks. —This unsigned comment is by Blue tiger (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!

[edit] Spiroupédia

Hi there. I can't change the left menu and the toolbox on http://fr.spirou.wikia.com/. I mean I can make changes, but they don't show. Why is that?... Klow 23:25, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Which uselang do you have selected? If you selected French, it should show up. If yu have something different, you just get the language default. If you add ?uselang=fr to the url each time, you can see your edits in French. Otherwise you could switch over to French (if you don't use it by now) to edit there. Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 08:07, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

But I heavily edit on other wikis in English, and I don't want to have to switch language all the time. Any other turnaround?... Klow 08:13, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

You can add {{:MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar}} into Monaco-sidebar/en, if you like to. This should work with every MediaWiki, but I just tried a few, including the one I mentioned above. Cheers, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 08:16, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Eeer I don't get it. What's that supposed to make?... Klow 08:18, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

It pastes the French (wiki default language) sidebar into the sidebar for users with English uselanguage. Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 08:23, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Ok then, I'll test that. Thanks. Your username really sounds like a spambot, BTW. :-P Klow 08:46, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Lol.. you're welcome :) Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 08:49, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

That works like a charm, thanks! One more thing: is that possible to remove the "Create a new article" and "Upload a new image"? It's kinda redundant, I prefer to have it in the toolbox. Wookieepedia doesn't have it, so I guess it's possible to remove it. Klow 14:13, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

#dynamic-links-write-article-row, #dynamic-links-add-image-row { display: none !important; }

May helps. If not, take a look here on top. Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 14:23, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry but where do I put or remove those?... And where is it in the link your provided me? Klow 14:38, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, you need to add it into Monaco.css (like in the link) - in the link, there's another version of it - right on top this body.ns stuff. Regards, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 14:41, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I put it in the CSS, but I don't see any changes. Did you forget something?... Klow 14:53, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so. Cache these times is slower than an escargot... if nothing happens until tomorrow, please contact me again. Yours sincerely, Marc-Philipp (MtaÄ) (Talk) 14:56, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I also noticed that. Too many random and duplicate wikis are created, and that saturates the network, that's why! I'll wait until tomorrow. Klow 15:39, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
