Hi Kyoo Moo -- we are excited to have Fictional Species Wiki as part of the Wikia community!
Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!
- Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
- We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
- If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ
If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.
Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!
Best wishes, Angela 
[edit] RE: Logo
Hey Kyoo. I saw your request for cleaning up the logos for this wiki (and Fictional Characters). Both logos look quite smooth to me. Is there something in particular about them that you feel looks "choppy" (the text or the design or both)? I'd be glad to help out, so let me know how you're wanting the logos to look, and I'll see if I can help.
By the way, I tweaked the logo a bit (added a slight glow and shadow) and uploaded 
Take a look and see if you like it. I think it may look a little "smoother" on the skins that have a white background behind the logo, but on the other skins (Slate, Brick, and Gaming) the 'species' doesn't look good. Please put any future messages on my talk page. Thanks. JoePlay (talk) 22:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Glad you like it. Transferring those effects to the Fictional Characters logo was easy thanks to Photoshop. I also tweaked the inner and outer edge of the bottom part of the oval on the top of the hat (to make it a little more symetrical). As for your saying that you drew these logos with just a mouse, I'd say you did a heck of a job, especially on the species design. =) If there's anything else I can do, just let me know. Cheers.

- Nice catch on the text shadow getting clipped. I fixed it (on both logos). About the text glow appearing strange only in the actual logo area... I saw it happen at FicChar too while I was re-uploading the logo. I've never seen that happen before, but then, it could have something to do with this new version of Monaco skin. Anyway, when I cleared the browser cahche while refreshing the page (Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox), the logo seemed to display properly. Weird. JoePlay (talk) 00:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
