Adoption Request -- User:Merrystar to KingLinkTiger
M: I'm glad you are excited about sprucing up the Full Metal Alchemist wiki, and you certainly have done a lot of hard work here. However you do need to edit for 2 weeks as we say on the adoption page. You also need to have a welcome template and welcome other contributors to the wiki, which I don't see you doing in your recent changes. Also, there appears to be some activity on the site, it would be good to create a page stating that you are working to adopt the wiki and invite comment from any other users. I can help you put up a sitenotice about it. You can work on your custom skin by creating it at User:KingLinkTiger/monaco.css. If you have a logo, please upload it as a regular file and let me know; I will be happy to move it for you. And if there are other issues, such as page deletions or blocking vandals I can help with those also; just leave a note on my talk page. Good luck, and ask us again in a couple of weeks! -- Wendy (talk ) 01:50, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

KLT: Thanks for all of your help. I have not been working as much because I have school then after school sports so I get home late. But I atempt to do small edits that I can before school. Also Thanks for telling me how to create a skin. I would love to change it. Thanks for all your help. ~ KingLinkTiger ~

KLT: Oh and by the way I have already created a Welcome Template. I created it on Nov 30. And it was in my recent changes.

Hey,Thanks I am really glad that somebody is actually trying to Improve the FMA wiki,Well I hope I can contribute-- 07:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Administration
Well, I guess I'd first ask, for what reason? All an administrator is, is someone with access rights who use those permissions to carry out things the community needs done. With that as the case, it really doesn't matter who has those powers, as long as there is someone. That being said, there is little community to do an election (and unless you're a real huge community with lots of admins, it never really fits), so being the one to just hand out powers doesn't fit that.

Really, I'm not am "Administrator" of the wiki, I got some rights when one of the past administrators was thinking of joining Wikia ACG. I basically have powers on a wide number of Animanga wiki, I'm not an accepted admin on most of them, but if someone pokes me I'm always willing to show up and help out with what permissions I have. ~Dantman -local (talk) Dec 6, 2008 @ 07:24 (UTC)

Hey You have been doing very good at this wiki good luck for to be an admin -- 18:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

That would be a common mistake you made there. I do not "Own" the wiki, no admin "owns" the wiki. Administration of a wiki is the exact opposite of ownership. Becoming an admin merely gives you permissions to carry out things normal users can't do, on behalf of the community. A wiki is owned by the community as a whole, not the admins. If a community starts up, and finds that an admin and that admin is using their permissions to go against what the wiki wants, then the community has every right to ask Wikia staff to demote that admin, and promote a new one. ~Dantman -local (talk) Dec 6, 2008 @ 22:04 (UTC)

Ok
Hey I actually copied somethings From Wikipedia and I will stop but I thought If I copied now(which I wont do) othes users may contribute so even on that copied article after some time will not actually be ""copied"" Anyway I will not copy from wikipedia-- 19:04, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I dont know that much about coding Anyway you could always contact Dantman-- 20:20, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

the other admin
M: Hi. Dantman, as he stated, was sort of overseeing a whole bunch of anime wikis which is why he had the admin powers. You did exactly right to ask him, but since he doesn't apparently care one way or the other it won't affect your adoption request. You've been doing a great job around here and I think you'll make a good admin.

M: Also I noticed User:Sk Nator asked Dantman about uploading a new logo (Image:Fma logo.jpg). Did you want that logo also? I can upload it for you guys. -- Wendy (talk ) 19:05, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

adoption
M: Hi -- you should be all set as admin. Let me know if you need any more help, and don't forget to keep welcoming other users! -- Wendy (talk ) 00:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Main Page
Hello,Congratulations!! on being an admin.I really liked the Main page setup, it looks great in IE but the new banner seems to be on top of the other in Firefox as well in Safari(not sure how it looks in Opera though)-- 07:50, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Wait I am uploading-- 15:10, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Ckick the following images,Sorry for the delay=

Well good-- 15:27, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Well now the poll is a little over the old banner-- 15:32, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Again Sorry for the delay anyway the Main page looks great now and you might want to delete the images I uploaded-- 16:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Favicon
I saw that FMA wiki was lacking a favicon could you design one(maybe a human Transmutation circle)-- 06:45, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

It's me who is doing nothing.
You've done much to help improve this site and I appreciate it. My time now is severely limited, due to preparing for college, 4 AP classes, and getting my Eagle Scout project done, so any help you are giving is great. I gave you bereaucrat status since you are the most active admin and can now use your powers to elevate equally competent admins (Merry Christmas) &lt;b&gt;&#91;&#91;User:Haloman333&#124;Haloman333&#93;&#93;&lt;/b&gt;-&#91;&#91;User talk:Haloman333&#124;&lt;font color=&quot;Green&quot;&gt;My Head Asploded!&lt;/font&gt;&#93;&#93;-&#91;http&#58;//fiction.wikia.com/wiki/A_Turkey_Story &#124;&lt;font color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;My Doomsday Theory&lt;/font&gt;&#93; 16:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Template
Thanks for that- 11:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Sidebar
Hi, with your admin abilities could you change the Recent Changes link (the one that's below Administrators/Moderators ,there is already a link for recent changes) to Contents.Just a suggestion might the Contents display Characters, Locations, Items, Episode guide, Video games.And also could you remove the Episodes display?-- 18:33, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey,Can FMA be a part of the Wiki ACG. Just asking because it would help with templates  and other stuff-- 19:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok, Thanks anyway:-)

ACG
One of the previous founders of the FMA wiki was interested in Wikia ACG. The wiki ended up with a small bit of integration. I'd like to know if you're interested or not, cause if not I'd like to clean out the pieces of integration left over. ~Dantman -local (talk) Dec 25, 2008 @ 04:35 (UTC)


 * Wikia ACG was designed to try and make it easier to work on animanga wiki. It includes a good repository of shared javascript, css, and a number of templates(12) which help with compatibility, and are better than most other templates you can find. The ideal was a unification of the animanga communities, sharing of content and technical stuff, and common policies. The only real shared policy right now is Anime:Jump start from Wikipedia. ~Dantman -local (talk) Dec 25, 2008 @ 23:14 (UTC)

Naming Question
Hello. I'm planning on making a bunch of events and conflict pages. I'm starting with the Ishtanbal Massacre/Civil War/Rebellion/etc. However, as I just implied and as I noticed while watching Season 1 back to back, there are a lot of names given officially by the military and characters in general. Which name is better fitting (I ask as you are the admin):
 * Ishtanbal Massacre
 * Ishtanbal Civil War
 * Eastern Rebellion
 * Ishtanbal Rebellion

— Excelsior,   The Flash  - ( Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay! ) 02:15, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'll try to get started on that soon.  The Flash  {talk} 20:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

It's never been Ishtanbal. Ever. The romanization of the region as spelled in the manga and in its visual appearances in the new anime series prove that the name is "Ishval", though FUNimation understandably translated the "v" as a "b" for the first anime series. As it was a Civil War, I've been prepping "Ishval Civil War" to be the main page, but you can make pages that say "Ishval War", "Ishval Rebellion", "Eastern Rebellion" and even some that use "IshBal", so that people looking for the FUNimation spelling don't just plain find nothing and then each of those other titles can be redirected to the one, official page with a redirect tag. Like, if you type "Mustang" into the search bar for this site, the page "Mustang" has a redirect tag in it so that it'll send you instantly to "Roy Mustang" instead of a blank page.

Article of the month
You probably get a lot of messages about this, but I was wondering a bit about the article of the month. Since people have been complaining about how it never changes, I tried to change it myself by altering the featuredarticle template...but even after I altered it no changes appeared on the front page. Why is that? I checked the code and saw tags. I don't know much about HTML, but surely that doesn't mean the site picks a featured article at random from a choice pool that only includes Edward Elric? Or is it because I haven't temporarily removed the edit lock on the front page? I checked the template's history and, since you're the one who created it, i was hoping you could provide some answers on how to make the feature change from month to month.

=Skin and Favicon= Please post your suggestions and comments in this area.

Ah. It took me a while to know what you were talking about because I had to do that "hold shift + reload" thing to see the new version. It looks cool. Seems like a bit of a drastic change, but not a bad one. I like the black and red motif; very eye-catching and cool. However, the text boxes and templates, like you said, are kind of off because of the change. The dark gray background makes it a bit difficult to read links that haven't been clicked yet and I've noticed that some of the infoboxes have the same color for background and text, making them impossible to read. i don't know much about web design, but In looking around i wonder if the darker tone of the gray text background is making some of the brighter, more cheerful pictures look out of place, as well. I can tell you worked really hard on it and I'm not just humoring you; it looks really badass. CorbeauKarasu 04:06, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
