From Home Wiki

Hi CocoaZen -- we are excited to have Home 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, CatherineMunro

[edit] Logos

Hey CocoaZen, thought you might be able to use these: Image:Homelogo_wide.png, and Image:Homelogo_monobook.png. If not feel free to delete them. :) -- Phillip (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey again, I added the source for the house image on each of the image description pages; if you'd like an .ico version of the house icon for a favicon, let me know. -- Phillip (talk) 17:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

The ico version is located at Image:Homewikifavicon.ico -- Phillip (talk) 17:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the welcome! --Robin 16:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cross links

Hey CocoaZen! I saw that you posted about cross links for "crib" on Symbolism Wiki. I was just wondering what you exactly meant about that. Also, thanks A MILLION for starting to categorize articles! That is one thing I always seem to forget to do. :P Anyway, I think I'll start to help out here, because it seems like a neat wiki! Have a nice day. Swannie - (talk) 20:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Thanks

Hey CocoaZen! I'm glad to help! If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. swannie 11:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

In regards to the goal of 5 new participants, I have set up a Home Wiki lens. Look here for more info. I hope this helps! swannie 12:44, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi! :)

Hi CocoaZen! Things are going pretty good for me, I hope the same for you! I miss being on Wikia too, hopefully I'll be able to work on here more as it gets closer to summer! Thanks for helping out with Symbolism Wiki and any others you may be helping out with, I really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll be able to help get things running more on those wikis soon (it's not soon enough!) Well, have a nice day, and thanks for sending me the message!

[edit] spotlight request

Hi -- Home Wiki looks really nice and I've added you guys to the spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 19:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

it will be removed from the box here when the spotlight is put up. To answer your question though, it hasn't been spotlighted yet. -- Wendy (talk) 01:45, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Monaco

Hello. I saw File:Favicon.ico had been auto-replaced by the Wikia "W". I reverted it back. The bricks I found are PD and I cropped them and when tiled appear near flawless. So, after its finished, what do you want to do? Tangeled Web Weaver 00:13, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Whenever you want it to be your main skin, just copy it over whenever, make sure you copy it entirely, leaving out the header note of course :o) and add in the summary something like "copied from User:Tangeled Web Weaver/monaco.css with user's permission". You could always make more tweaks. About the Adminship, I could either way. Tangeled Web Weaver 03:43, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

I'll try to add the css to transform the user name and other links on top white so they are easier to read.

Here, add this

}

#header_username a {
	color: #FFF;
}

#wikia_header a {
	color: #FFF;
}

To the Monaco.css. Preferably above #wikia header. It will change the top links to white. Also, to change the Wikia logo, see Help:Customizing Monaco#Wikia Logo. If you don't want to do it, I'll be happy to. Tangeled Web Weaver 22:24, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, yeah, that wouldn't look right with the shingles. Try Help:Color and see what you like, or just keep the black, whatever you'd like :o) Tangeled Web Weaver 00:28, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Did you decide what you want the logo to be yet? If you don't want to do it, I'd be more than happy to Tangeled Web Weaver 02:35, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, sure. Also, tell me what color you'd like the logo to be. The logo can be any image as long as it has the same dimensions and of course, some variation of the wikia logo :P Tangeled Web Weaver 03:50, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
