User talk:CrocadoodleDoo!: Difference between revisions

== Hi there! ==

I'm [[User:Richard1990|Richard1990]]. I'm a [[w:Wikia Helper Group|Helper]] who specializes in [[w:c:gaming|Gaming Wikis]]. I want to cheer you on for having started a new gaming-related wiki, and see if there is anything I can help a fellow Wikian with. So if you need help with any thing, [[w:User talk:Richard1990|don't hesitate to ask]]!

I've got some tips for you here:

* '''Main Page protection''' – Wikia has a general policy of not protecting the Main Page unless it is the target of recurring heavy vandalism. For more info, check out [[w:c:help:help:Main page|Help:Main page]] on [[w:c:help|Wikia Help]].

* '''Logo''' - If you need help making logos for your wiki, you can ask for help [[w:Forum:Logo creation campaign|at this forum thread]]. For the [[w:c:help:Help:Skins|Monaco skin]], you can upload a 266 x 75 pixels image to [[Image:Wiki wide.png]]. For the [[w:c:help:Help:Skins|Monobook skin]] (Wikipedia skin), you can upload a 135 x 155 pixels image to [[Image:Wiki.png]].

* '''[[User:CrocadoodleDoo!|Your user page]]''' – Use your [[Help:User page|user page]] to introduce yourself to other new visitors, so the wiki has a more personal feeling to it and luring visitors to stay and become involved. People without a userpage do not get listed in the "[[Special:Top/community|Featured users]]" listing no matter how active they are, so make sure you add something to your user page to appear in there!

* '''Wikia Gaming IRC''' – There is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. You can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming, or connect to it by your own client at irc://irc.freenode.net/wikia-gaming. Different people may be on sporadically, though you're free to ask them for any help. There's also a weekly chat in the channel every Sunday to ask or answer questions or just to hang out. The admins of some of Wikia's biggest gaming wikis ([[w:c:worldofwarcraft|WoW]], [[w:c:halo|Halo]], [[w:c:runescape|RuneScape]], and others) often attend them. You can find the time for the next chat by following [[w:Template:Next gaming IRC chat|this link]]. I've also included a template below to show when the next chat will be. {{w:Next gaming IRC chat}}

Again, if you have any question for anything at all, [[w:User talk:Richard1990|don't hesitate to ask me]]!--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]] 23:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
