Is there anything I can do to help move the wiki? Ldude893 01:08, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- Unless you are good with customising Monobook then, no. The ShoutWiki staff can move all content and images as well as user accounts to this wiki so we shouldn't need to do anything. Thanks for offering. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- Good for you, damn wikia shoving Oasis down our throats. I moved (am in the process of moving) my Stargate wikia to shout wiki. Escyos 04:16, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
User moving aricles
Hello, Solar. User Ashclaw has copied and pasted some articles from the Wikia Wikisimpsons to here. Should we allow him or tell him to wait for the database dump? — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 16:52, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- I noticed too. I don't mind. These are just copies and will all be moved over anyway. The quicker, the better in my opinion. I am still waiting for the new database dump though. :( ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:41, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello there Solar Dragon,
Actually, manually copy/pasting articles might be a problem because they could be copyright violations. That is why the complete article history has to be imported, to avoid issues with copyrights. And the manually copied articles may also clutter up the article history or cause other problems during the import process. --Jedimca0<staff/>(talk) 17:54, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- OK then. I will delete the article. How about the uploaded images? Will those affect anything? Thanks, ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:56, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Moving form wikia
Hello!
I am an admin on 2 wikas and I am thinking of moving away from it. Shoutwiki.com is one of 2 alternatives. Can you, please, tell me why did you choose Shoutwiki as a new server?

User page
Is the database dump going to bring in the user pages too or should I recreate mine? Bshardy 06:04, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Every page will be imported over, including user pages. However, I am not sure what will happen in the case of already made user pages, e.g. yours and mine. We will have to wait and see. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:09, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Bob's burgers
No doubt you have seen the commercials for "Bob's Burgers", the new Fox show. I have made a wiki regarding it and would like to suggest a partnership?
ShoutWiki
I think the dump's done. 178.111.41.7 18:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, but not completely. There is something wrong with around 1000 of the images. The staff have been notified. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:03, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Dude, where's my login?
Hi, Solar, Mythigator here. I'm on an IP because I can't log in. It says my account doesn't exist, but when I go to articles I've edited I can click on my account name in the history and immediately see my page. So what's up with logging into my account? Thanks, Geoff / Mythigator 64.122.207.197 22:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Actual accounts haven't moved. The user pages and talk pages have though. You have to make a new account and resume from there. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 22:12, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- No joy. "Login errorUsername entered already in use. Please choose a different name." -- 64.122.207.197 22:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- You don't need to create a new account — in fact, you cannot do so if you try to use your old Wikia username. Just go to Special:UserLogin and login with your Wikia credentials and you should be able to resume editing as if nothing had happened. This functionality is provided by a MediaWiki extension called MediaWikiAuth. If you encounter any bugs or have issues logging in, please contact me immediately. --Jack Phoenix <staff/> (contact) 22:31, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- I seem to be back in business. It looks like I'm going to have to re-upload my saltire avatar, but no big deal. Thanks, guys! -- Mythigator 23:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Concerning the color of the sidebar
I think the color of the sidebar doesn't really match with the wiki, it's too bright and "neon-ish" and it kind of repels the eyes. I think it would be better if it was another tone of yellow. What do you think? Additionally, in all the articles with the episode "tab" template, the sidebar is moved below the article.
Ldude893 10:03, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Someone has been working on this bug. You can see from recent changes. The colour is the same colour as the content area for me. Could you give me a screenshot of the bright yellow colour then. Is it the same as the colour of the box at the top of my talk page? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, it's yellow because I changed it yesterday (maybe you don't see it because of your cache, or something). I just thought the sidebar could use a different color, but you're right, it's too bright. — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 17:54, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Adding templates
How do we add templates to articles, such as adding the Location template to Dracula-la Land? I'm thinking there must be an easier way to do it than by manually typing the code in, but thus far I haven't seen any WYSIWYG interface for editing articles. Is this something that's in the works? Thanks ... -- Mythigator 14:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
