=='''Introducing Wikia's new look:'''==
+
==Deleted Images==
−
Greetings! As many of you have already seen, Wikia is undergoing some major changes to their site layout. As of Wednesday, October 6th, the change will affect both the appearance and how things are done on several wikis, and come October 20th these changes will effect all Wikia sites. These changes are mandatory as this is not simply a new skin option, it’s actually an upgraded version of the core Mediawiki platform itself. Check out "[http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Susan_Taylor/Experience_the_new_Wikia Experience the new Wikia]" for a look at some wikis using the new look, [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/The_new_look FAQ] and the [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Transition_guide Transition guide].
+
*Any particular reason you found it necessary to delete some of the images that I upload, because now I can't re-upload them no matter what I do. You admins are not making it easy for us to contribute. An image is an image, and NONE of us own any of these images, so you can't say that anyone stole an image, since anyone can just Print Screen an image from a video or comic. And even if someone decides to give it the proper license tag, it's impossible now, since the image was deleted and can't be re-uploaded. --[[User:Kid Sonic|Kid Sonic]] 00:13, 4 January 2013 (EST)

**Solar routinely deletes all images that are not currently being used on a page, so that would be the reason. --[[User:Nick97|'''<font color=darkorange>Nick97</font>''']] <sup>([[User talk:Nick97|<font color=peach>'''talk'''</font>]] ~ [[Special:Contributions/Nick97|<font color=turquoise>'''contribs'''</font>]])</sup>  01:46, 4 January 2013 (EST)

***Firstly this is my bot account. Thank you for leaving me a message here as it means I now have to log in to my bot account and read this again just to use my bot again. Secondly, I delete all images that are unused if I feel that they won't be used at all. I kept the best images of the Octuplets and deleted the others as we don't need all the other images. We don't need unused images on the wiki. Wikisimpsons is not an image uploading site. Wikisimpsons is a wiki. We don't want hundreds of unused pointless images. If you want to upload pictures to the Internet, I suggest you use Flickr or Photobucket or something.

We know you’ve put a lot of work into making your wikis look great in Monaco, so we’ve worked on our end to minimize the amount of effort needed for you to move to the new look. Still, there are some things you’ll want to do in order for your wiki to look its best in the new skin. We strongly encourage you to use our [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Transition_guide Wiki Transition Guide] to make this process as smooth and seamless as possible.

Our new theme designer tool will be available to everyone during the first stage of sitewide roll-out on October 6th. This gives you time to experiment with different themes and chat with your community about what looks best before all visitors see your wiki in the new look.

We know that many of you are Wikia experts, and have a ton of experience to share with newer users, who may need more help with the transition. To tap all your knowledge, we will soon be setting up a page where users can request and provide help on the transition.

I don't understand the concept behind [[Special:Diff/676737|this edit]]. IMHO the visible text ''50 Cent as Himself'' would be more standard. --[[User:2F13|2F13]] ([[User talk:2F13|talk]]) 09:47, December 18, 2016 (EST)

==='''Timeline'''===

The next step is to slowly but surely move all wikis over to the new skin. While there may be some tweaks, the projected schedule is below so that you know what to expect over the coming weeks.

==='''Discontinued features'''===
 
−
*The widget dashboard and all widgets are to be discontinued as they were deemed to be underused.
 
−
*"Report a Problem" links will also be discontinued with the new skin as they were not used as intended.
 
−
*"Email a user" link is gone.
 
−
*Page ratings are gone.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==='''New features'''===
 
−
*New, customizable toolbar that is anchored at the bottom of the screen (Watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVRg8oNaX7I the demo video] to see how it  works.) You will need to learn to use this. (requires JavaScript)
 
−
*New tool for customizing the colour scheme/theme, including default themes.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==='''Other changes'''===
 
−
*The new look uses a fixed width layout, we are not permitted to change, which might influence the layout of articles quite a bit.
 
−
*Wiki logo is replaced with "Wordmark", which admins can customize by adjusting the text & color, or by uploading an image in the theme designer.
 
−
*Site notice is no longer on every page. It is now located in the Community Corner and users will receive a notification bubble each time it is updated.
 
−
*The wiki navigation that is now on the left sidebar, is moving to the top of the screen. It will have 4 drop down menus, with 7 links each. This is substantially less than we currently have. (requires JavaScript)
 
−
*"My Home" becomes "Wiki Activity" and contains a link to recent changes
 
−
*There is a new sidebar area on the right that takes about 1/3 of each page's width, where the recent activity and other "modules" will sit. More "modules" are being developed for it, but there are currently no plans for user-developed modules.
 
−
*Moved the most recent editor’s name from the bottom of the page to the top, added an avatar, and a new mini-history dropdown menu, which contains the link to the full history. (Supposed to make it more obvious to new users that anyone can edit a wiki.) (requires JavaScript)
 
−
*Two of the categories are listed at top as well the full list at the bottom. Apparently the two chosen will be the categories containing the most pages. There is a blacklist to keep out typical maintenance categories, but it is not wiki specific (atm).
 
−
*Edit and talk buttons will be used instead of written links.
 
−
*The name of the user who uploaded a picture will be listed underneath the image caption on articles.
 
−
*The "Terms of Use" are changed so that we will only have very limited options on what we may change on the new layout that is visible to all users.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==='''Terms of Use'''===
 
−
In keeping with the goals of the new look, our w:c:wikia:Terms_Of_Use|Terms of Use have been updated as well. Admins will no longer be able to completely remove core features for all users by using custom CSS or JavaScript. This is to protect the universal layout and functionality of every wiki on Wikia and ensure that users have access to all of the features available in the new design. Remember, these new terms only apply to the CSS of the wiki as a whole -- they don’t apply to your personal pages.
 
−
 
 
−
To give a few practical examples of what this means: It’s not permitted to remove the right sidebar modules, blogs, and image attribution or add a banner that shifts the entire content area down the page, or alter the fixed width. You can still personalize your wiki with different colors and themes, add large, standout images to the wiki background, create styled templates and tables within the content area. There are plenty of ways to be creative! While these terms will limit what you can do to the overall layout, creativity is still an essential part of Wikia.

Bot edits[edit]

The edits the bot makes are not marked as "bot edits". Why? — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 15:39, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

I made it today and requested it straight after. It will take a while for Wikia to add the Bot rights to the account. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 15:41, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
But still, pretty cool eh? It took me over an hour to get it working though. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 15:42, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, it is. Also, I would have posted this on User blog:Solar Dragon/SolarBot|your blog about the bot, but I saw it after I hid the minor edits in the recent changes (since the bot edits are all minor, they disappeared). — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 15:50, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
Well, it is now tagged as a bot and I am currently moving categories. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 18:46, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Images[edit]

  • Any particular reason you found it necessary to delete some of the images that I upload, because now I can't re-upload them no matter what I do. You admins are not making it easy for us to contribute. An image is an image, and NONE of us own any of these images, so you can't say that anyone stole an image, since anyone can just Print Screen an image from a video or comic. And even if someone decides to give it the proper license tag, it's impossible now, since the image was deleted and can't be re-uploaded. --Kid Sonic 00:13, 4 January 2013 (EST)
    • Solar routinely deletes all images that are not currently being used on a page, so that would be the reason. --Nick97 (talk ~ contribs) 01:46, 4 January 2013 (EST)
      • Firstly this is my bot account. Thank you for leaving me a message here as it means I now have to log in to my bot account and read this again just to use my bot again. Secondly, I delete all images that are unused if I feel that they won't be used at all. I kept the best images of the Octuplets and deleted the others as we don't need all the other images. We don't need unused images on the wiki. Wikisimpsons is not an image uploading site. Wikisimpsons is a wiki. We don't want hundreds of unused pointless images. If you want to upload pictures to the Internet, I suggest you use Flickr or Photobucket or something. Thanks, Solar Dragon (Talk • Contribs.) 02:22, 4 January 2013 (EST)

Question on the Fat and the Furriest...[edit]

What was it that Homer initially got for a Mother's Day present that was the same as Bart's? I missed that. --Spare-tire (talk) 01:45, December 25, 2013 (EST)

It was a bad home made cup that said "Mommy" on. /AleWi (talk) 04:01, December 25, 2013 (EST)

Deleted "Himself"[edit]

I don't understand the concept behind this edit. IMHO the visible text 50 Cent as Himself would be more standard. --2F13 (talk) 09:47, December 18, 2016 (EST)
