User talk:Retro7

Hi Retro7 -- we are excited to have Fairy Tail 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, Angela Beesley

Hello
Hi Retro7. I'm Wendy, a helper at wikia. It's good to see you starting to work on this wiki - I love your main page image. Don't forget to categorize the pages you create to help keep them organized! If you have any questions, or I can help with anything, please let me know on my talk page! -- Wendy (talk ) 23:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there
Hello, this is Haru Mclean Namikaze, telling you that if you want to make a person a sysop, go to Special:UserRights, and check off the boxes of the searched person name to give them different status'. I'm pretty sure only Bureaucrats can do it. Good luck. The One and Only Haru Mclean Namikaze HaruElie | NaruHina | Kanji: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn

Hello...?
Hello, you're the admin of this wikia, right? I know you may be busy, but how much do you actually come on this anymore?

So you edit here often eh...?
You know, the other Wikia you started has faithful editors. I'm just here to say that could you possibly look into making some of them beauracrats. You've got peeps here ready to help out, man.

Dude, you're the only sysop/bureaucrat on this one too?! WTH!

Sorry!
I'm new to this wikia. Actually, I've never created a wiki account before, so I didn't know the rules and created a bunch of new articles.

Here are the ones I created: Kana Alberona| Magic and Abilities (I edited this one heavily to make it more broad... sorry! The Dragon Slayer page still exists, though!)| Ice-Magic| Oracion Seis| Light Team|

I don't even know if this is the right place to tell you all this... Again, I apologize for messing up.

I don't even know if this is considered the forum...

Its a discussion page actully though it pretty close to it. All the articles created on the wikia have one. But as for missing up. It's alright, nothing that can't be fixed later. We all usually misinterpret the information of the series. Just correct it when you find your mistake. No fuss no muss. Keep up the good work dude. Oh and for future ref, when on the discussion page each each mess with a (Retro7 02:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)) This will tell me who you are and when the message was posted. K? Have any other question just tell me here Retro7 02:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay.. Thanks for understanding. Er, I don't know how to end my message with the time/date that I posted (is there an automatic thing to type, or do you have to type it all out manually?), but I do know how to end with my name =D User:Baithin

Ah sorry that came out wrong. Basically just type this--->(~) four times at the end of your messages and the site will the rest.Retro7 17:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Retro, COME ON d00d
You have a whole 'nother wiki that you're leading. Could you please come and look into what they're saying? Me and http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/User:Mastermarth4 Mastermarth4] want to take some of your load off. Could you make us bureaucrats? A Wiki staff member left the instructions on your userpage or talk page. Mastermarth has nearly 350~ edits, and I've made close to 750~ edits. I think we're way more than qualified. The community's spoken out, and they like us too! So could you please pay a little more attention to your other commitment? Navyblack15 02:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I know I know, am still trying to figure out how though (damn Wikia pretty vague on the instructions). Please have patience with me, once I do you two will be the first one I contact.Retro7 02:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

There I think that did it. If it hasn't, please message me again and I'll check into it. Retro7 17:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to bother everyone
I figured here would be one of the most visited discussion pages, so I have a question for everyone. For the Fairy Tail Guild page, where it lists all the members, I'm trying to get at least pictures, if not separate pages, for all of the minor characters. I'm trying to find all the guild cards and putting them next to their names. If it's not too much trouble, can someone else help me get some pictures to add, as well as all the members who aren't up there yet? User:Baithin

Nevermind... I think I got everybody :O If anyone notices a Guild Member that I missed, please let me know. User:Baithin

great work on the FT page im leaving to train right now but i will check if someone is missing tomorrow =). User:Gray_CS

I'm going to get started on creating the Ur page. If there are any mistakes that anyone notices, please fix them!^^ Baithin 19:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Hitman reborn
Hey Retro7, whats up? We, Navyblack15 and I would like to become admins of the Reborn Wiki and take a load off your shoulders. Since he and I have joined, the pages on this site have tripled in number. We can help maintain the site while you are off doing whatever you do. With admin privileges, we can delete the unneeded pages and organize the site (you would be surprised at how much organization the site needs). You don't have to do it all, your not god, we don't expect you to, we expect to take into consideration the well-being of the Reborn! wiki and help us help you. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon, rather than in another month, I don't think I would last...

Your fellow wiki-er, Mastermarth4

Need Some Help?
Hey you're in charge here right? I have helped build this site for awhile and I wanted to know how I fix the names sometimes. I know Fairy Tail has issues still with the names a lot so when I learn a real name/surname of a character, how do I fix said character's page?

I offer my services to help clean the site up (I pretty much do it for D Grayman wiki)

Ah sure thing Retro7 23:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

"Your[sic] not god"

 * I'm just back again to say that I see you're still the only sysop/bureaucrat. Maybe you should do one or two promotions to admin? It seems like you've got a team just as committed as your other one. See ya for now. Navyblack15 03:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Problem
how do you add other title in magic and abiltys

Upgrade Time
Hello Retro7, I am User Talk:Shock Dragoon (The guy who created the Charbox/Quote/Synopsises/Episode List), and I have noticed that were going to have to upgrade soon with the anime coming out. People always mess uo the Charbox on me.

How do I become an administrator so I can protect the template pages? I am an administrator at ravemaster.wikia if it means anything. I basically helped build the site.

Also, shouldn't we upgrade the site to include the names given in the english manga (I know this has been debated to death) but it does say that those are the offical translation. You know, Lluvia is actually Juvia and Gazille is actually Gajeel and such. We're going to have to make this jump sooner or later and it will be easier to do it now before the anime comes out.

Fairy Tail will be popular and more people will visit the site and we're going to have to moderate it like me and GohanRULEZ at ravemaster.wikia which is technically our sibling site.

Thanks
