Importing
I only noticed this since I watched the RSS feeds here for spam. But you've been importing pages incorrectly. Especially if you're importing pages to be deleted, you should be importing the full page history of each page. The resulting pages have no to attribute the original page, and they don't attribute the people that actually worked to create the article in the page history itself. That's quite important for a page to be deleted because the contribution history won't even exist on Wikipedia anymore. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jul 12, 2010 @ 02:42 (UTC) 02:42, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to add the link to the Wikipedia article to every article I imported, as soon as I figure out how that's done. There should be a bot for it.  I posted on the proper help forum asking.  There is no way to import all the histories that I know of, other than getting every single file, one at a time, and hoping the total isn't above a certain file size.

 * Someone gave me an answer to one of my questions. Look at the top part saying where to find the original source of articles at.  That should do it.    D r e a m Focus  02:51, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * As per the full histories, you should be using Wikipedia's Special:Export. There is an option on the bottom to include the full histories, I'm not sure how you were doing to otherwise.--Sxerks 23:55, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That doesn't work. Wikia will not import any file above a certain size.  Some files have histories on their own too large to manage.  Others are only too large if I export them in batches.   D r e a m Focus  01:32, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Pedia-mess
I am wikipedia:User:I-20.

Anyway, are you importing deleted Wikipedia articles? (I'm not a sysop on Wikipedia) If so, how? Ω penBSDWiki 02:58, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I go to the list of all manga and anime articles currently nominated for deletion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Anime_and_manga I then save them, with their entire history, and the images that are found in them. If you want to import something that has already been deleted, you have to talk to an administrator and ask them on their talk page to usify it.  They'll restore it long enough to copy it to your user page, and you can export it from there.  The closing administrator was contacted on his talk page and then restored it, first by accident to the wrong user page, he then copied it over to the proper one.

 * Awesome. May I help? Ω penBSDWiki 04:39, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I already mass imported everything in the manga or manga related categories, bringing over thousands of articles that way. I discussed it on the Anime and Manga Wikiproject, and they stated there was no way for administrators to resurrect all deleted manga articles at one time for my to transwiki over, and weren't likely to do it with any large numbers anyway.  Asking for one once in awhile would work, but for the hundreds already lost, there is no salvation.  If you fill like helping, you can go to the manga articles over at Wikipedia, and save the images in them.  Then come here and find the same article, and click the red link where the image should go, and then load it up.  I think everything else that can be done, already has been. Everything I can think of.   D r e a m Focus  09:13, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Actually, I would suggest that if *you* need any help, you should feel free to ask *me* on my talk page. ;) (yeah, I realize that was an automated welcome message, but still figured I'd put it out there... =) ) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 21:22, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, its automatic. I'm not sure if there is even a way to turn it off.  It happens on all wikias.  Anyway, I see you have done some work on the troublesome template.  I did ask for help  and someone figured out what was wrong, but no one able to actually fix it.  Right now quite a number of articles are not loading up properly because of it.   D r e a m Focus  01:28, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I saw that discussion; that's what spurred me to have a look. Truth is, I have no idea why the template isn't working properly; other templates doing the exact same stuff in their code work on Wikia. This may be a case where a complete rewrite is necessary. However, I would disagree with the person who said Wikipedia templates are moving away from HTML; to the contrary, I like to stalk keep track of what a number of the really prolific template editors on Wikipedia are up to, and can say that in just about any case where tables + ParserFunctions are involved, HTML is generally preferred over wikimarkup. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 01:37, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

I miss you man! I wonder if they will put this user page up for deletion too. :) It is really nice to be able to edit without the bullies huh? Anno1404 16:33, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * oh, one more thing, DON'T use my old user name. I don't want the bullies following me here. Anno1404 16:37, October 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Welcome. Yes, Wikia is far nicer, most wikis I've been to rather pleasant.  I haven't figured out how to get all of the imported Wikipedia templates to work properly here, but overall, everything seems functional.  I imported over every single manga related category I came across at the Wikipedia and then some.  I just found out how to fix the Google search results this morning, so when people search for "manga wiki" hopefully it'll bring them here.  Previously it was mangawiki, one word, which no one was likely to search for.   D r e a m Focus  19:46, October 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I see that your name was taken from a game. http://anno1404.wikia.com/wiki/Anno_1404_Wiki What wikias do you regularly work on?  D r e a m Focus  19:49, October 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * If I might butt in, Anno, are you here from Wikipedia? That's the vibe I'm getting from your comment (though I don't mean to imply anything here; I'm simply curious is all =) ). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 03:19, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
I just want to show you, that I read your messages... My english isn't very good, so I edit only basic infos... xD

Finally editing Nana to Kaoru
It took me a while to come here and edit, I am not much of an editor but I came to think about the article and what happen to it since it was trans-wikied. I appreciate your perceptibility and greetings to the manga-wiki, very welcoming. Lordmetroid 22:59, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Problem regarding wiki templates
The page you told me was having "html problems" actually has none. Everything is definately properly formated and correct, at least in terms of the wiki code. The problem with this seems to be that this wiki not having the template for the "Graphic novel list/header". Thus, as an administrator, it is your job to make sure that it's installed properly. Be sure to consult some higher up for help on this matter, since I cannot do anything from this point onwards.

Also, I'm sorry to say, I made a mistake with the wikis. I ended up joining the wrong one - this one - so I don't think I will be lurking here anymore. The wiki I intended to join was a completely seperate entity on the wikia servers. Good luck with working on this one.

 * I did import all the necessary templates from Wikipedia.  Its just that some don't work on Wikia.  See the discussion at    D r e a m Focus  22:30, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki-wordmark
Hey, I saw the Wiki's logo here. I assume that's the Wiki-wordmark, but it's not in use. Could you set it up (using Theme Designer)?  *Bereisgreat  ( shout! ) 12:40, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * No. As discussed before its not something good to use.  The g doesn't look like a proper letter g, and the two letter a's are different than each other, the letter n is too large and misshapen, and no need for that.  Wiki-chan is the only thing I'd used, if wordmark allowed that dimension.    D r e a m Focus  15:08, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Oops
Sorry :3 Thank you for adding it for me. --Imanie 16:18, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Background Question
I don't know if you use the oasis background much, but I was wondering if you wanted any help on creating one or anything? I'm ok with css and creating templates, etc. :) Just message me back on my profile if it interests you. --Imanie 22:09, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought I responded to this. Sorry, didn't mean to ignore you like that.  I think the clear white background makes it easier to read things.   D r e a m Focus  22:36, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

You're Welcome!
You're welcome, Dream Focus! I'm really exited to be here!

P.S Were's the Chat??

 * I have no idea. The older boards didn't get the upgrades that the newer ones get.  We should have a forum somewhere around here.  Any suggestions to changing things, just do it here on my page.   D r e a m Focus  04:29, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * The forum's over there. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:11, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, now it is, at least. You need to delete MediaWiki:Common.css to allow default styles to be used, though (that page is only for CSS, so the notice you have there currently doesn't work). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:21, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

new manga
i just started to make it
 * Make it, make a site for it, then have an article for it and linking to it. That's fine.  Got to have one issue done first.   D r e a m Focus  04:32, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
