Welcome
Hi SpikeToronto. Welcome to Wikia Scratchpad Wiki Labs!

It's now really easy to make a new wiki. So, if you'd prefer a separate site for your content, just visit Special:CreateWiki and tell us the name of your wiki to get started. Having a separate wiki gives you lots more options, such as the ability to change the design of the wiki.

If you need help, you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki. You can also check our Staff blog to keep up-to-date with the latest news and events around Wikia.

Happy editing, Jenburton (help forum | blog)


 * Love it! — Spike  Toronto  20:13, March 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Awww. (: – Tm_T@Scratchpad:&#126;$ 19:20, March 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I loved the fact that I was just greeted on a wiki that, at that time, was being closed. That reminds me: better check that message! — Spike  Toronto  23:12, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Chat JS
Hi Spike. I decided to not go on with the chat JS things. The JS will not work for me (not sure if I am not importing the script page correctly or not), and I don't want to interfere with the other JS. However, until more information is noted on the JS, I will put it on hold. Though, I made adjustments to two MediaWiki pages, and added links to users who join. -- Plasma  ( Talk ) 00:03, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Categories for usergroups
Hi Spike! I would like to ask if I could create categories for administrators. May I? Thanks! -- Plasma  ( Talk ) 16:01, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you explain a bit more? You mean like  ? —  Spike  Toronto  02:41, April 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, we can add to our user pages for users to recognize us.  --  Plasma  ( Talk ) 17:47, April 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure. It’s going to be a heavily-populated category. :P — Spike  Toronto  23:42, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Block 75.168.85.121
Can you please block this wikia contributer known as 75.168.85.121? He/She keeps cause problems to me and other users by deleting contents on a page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.244.136.26 (talk • contribs), 16:27, May 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi 69.244.136.26! I appreciate that some editors can be difficult to work with. However, before we can block 75.168.85.121, I need you to give me specific examples of his/her editing that you consider disruptive. To do this, you have to provide me with links to specific diffs. (See Help:Page history for details.) Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:11, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

 UPDATE :   I went through your contribs to see what edits of the other person’s you were undoing. Unfortunately, those edits that you undid do not constitute disruptive editing. Wikis are collaborative environments. Anyone can edit any article. However, significant changes should indeed be explained ( Everyone : Use edit summaries!), and consensus sought.

Follow these steps to resolve the matter:
 * Start a discussion on the article’s talkpage.
 * Use a descriptive heading for the new talkpage discussion
 * This way, anyone looking at it knows immediately what it’s about
 * Ask politely:
 * Why the big change?
 * What was the goal, the intention?
 * Leave a message on his/her talkpage
 * Tell him/her what the discussion's about
 * Invite his/her participation
 * Provide him/her a link.
 * Always be POLITE.

Let me know how things are going. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:42, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism on another wiki
recently this wiki here has been vandalized by idiotic people i've been trying to remove their stupid edits & they just keep vandalizing can you help me get rid of those dumb pictures & help me be an admin to this wiki i believe i'm the only true user on that website: w:c:jayjay. — Skullzproductions 06:54, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Skullz! I took a look at the Jay Jay Wiki for you. The Founder is both the only Bureaucrat and the only Administrator on that wiki (verify). That person is User:Bulldog180. He has not edited on that wiki in three years (verify). While he still logs in at Wikia, he edits elsewhere.

To become an Administrator there, when there are no active Administrators, and no active Bureaucrats to promote you, you have to adopt the wiki. This is done by filing an adoption request at Forum:Adoption requests at the Community Central Wiki.

Hope this helps! Please, do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance. Thanks! —

 * ok thanks man Skullzproductions 08:50, June 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * You’re welcome. And, good luck! Let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:53, June 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * You're welcome & I was able to make that adoption thing here. Now all I have to do is wait Skullzproductions 08:57, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

user 37.128.194.108 on the Jay Jay wiki
just today that user told me the reason why they keep editing the wiki which was a big mistake for because this is what he said to me just because i "keep removing their fun"

"who even uses this wiki in a serious way tho other than you i mean we use it for satanic worship and fun but you use it for serious reasons"

i believe you already know that NO ONE uses a wiki for satanic stuff like that right? Skullzproductions 22:47, June 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * This just supports why the wiki needs an active admin, so that the IP can be blocked. You might want to add that diff to your adoption request. (The satanic comment, I am sure, was not serious.) — Spike  Toronto  19:27, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

I need help here
those guys on the Jay Jay wiki just won't back down & i can't wait any longer for the adoption to be complete can you help me talk to those satanic idiots for me? i'm getting really tired of doing all of this fixing myself Skullzproductions 03:45, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * They’re increasing their efforts because you are responding. It’s called “feeding the trolls”. (See wikipedia:WP:DENY.) I can ask the VSTF, but they only deal with spam. But, I’ll try. — Spike  Toronto  19:28, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 *  UPDATE :   Skullz, that IP is now blocked. You can look at the log here. —  Spike  Toronto  20:44, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * thanks also as admin i may need help on how to block though Skullzproductions 22:06, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep. Left a message in that regard on your talkpage at jayjay &rarr; w:c:jayjay:User talk:Skullzproductions — Spike  Toronto  22:09, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * thanks man also i think i may have it covered Skullzproductions 22:12, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, there are guidelines for blocking, protecting pages, etc., that you should follow. Ask anytime you have a question. :-) — Spike  Toronto  22:14, June 9, 2012 (UTC)
