 Request for Rights 

It is not permitted to provide any assistance to those filing RfRs. Applicants must follow every step in the instructions themselves. Doing so verifies a certain baseline skillset on the part of the applicant. Also, please do not edit untranscluded RfRs. They are assumed to still be in Draft form. — SpikeToronto (talk) 05:12, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

 * Do you use the Oasis skin? Tired of not knowing which links at Wikia.com you’ve already clicked on? Go to Visited links! — 06:26, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Once again JavaScript contained in Common.js  and  Wikia.js  is not loading with the Wikia default skin: Oasis. Whether you are impacted depends on your operating system/browser combo, mostly impacting users of Microsoft Internet Explorer. The issue is with an upstream file over which ATW has no control:  oasis_user_js.
 * If you experience this issue, please contact Wikia Staff via Special:Contact  as soon as possible, and consider adding a comment at  Forum:JavaScript not loading in Oasis . —  Spike  Toronto  06:59, July 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * The issue with MediaWiki:Common.js not loading in the Oasis skin — depending on one’s operating system/browser combo — appears to be resolved. 08:29, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * The all new Oasis editor has been activated here at ATW. It is still in beta testing, so not all the kinks are worked out yet. Report any issues here.
 * You may also feel free to begin a discussion on any issue regarding this new Oasis editor on our Noticeboard. Have fun with it! — Spike  Toronto  00:54, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * The issue with MediaWiki:Common.js not loading in the Oasis skin — depending on one’s operating system/browser combo — is still outstanding. — 08:31, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * There are currently Wikia-wide problems with the default Wikia Skin, Oasis, not properly loading the MediaWiki:Common.js file. Thus, any features contained therein will not load for users of Oasis (e.g., [show]/[hide] buttons). So far, this is not an issue for those using the Monobook skin. — 23:45, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 *  UPDATE : This problem does not seem to affect IP-only editors. For them, MediaWiki:Common.js is loading properly. — 07:42, June 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * The fully-protected edit box seen by Administrators has been changed to reflect that on various Wikimedia Foundation projects. See Admin Tools Wiki:Noticeboard for more information.
 * The protected titles system at ATW had been updated. Check it out at Admin Tools Wiki:Protected titles! — 21:56, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
