Adminship request
Hey there. Can I become an Admin on this wikia? Deathgleaner 01:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

RE
I've had admin experience with two wikis I've created ( and ). Is that a good reason?

To make me an admin, go to Special:Userrights, type in my username "Deathgleaner", then select Sysop (and Bureaucrat). Hope this helps!

 * Thank you for making me an admin! I will help out with this wiki as much as I can, even though I'm always busy. 22:55, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Main Page remodel
I just remodeled the Main Page somewhat... could you help me add on to it?

 * Improvements are constantly being made to the main page! Keep checking, because I JUST edited the sections to make them bordered and colorful. Deathgleaner 15:26, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Icon
The icon looks too small on my skin. Perhaps it is for monobook only? Where did you make this icon? Deathgleaner 19:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

List pages?
A page that automatically updates as articles are created is Special:Allpages. Deathgleaner 00:51, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous IP request
An anonymous IP requested that we should have a Featured Idea for every day. Deathgleaner 15:27, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

From IP's talk page:

Welcome to Idea Wiki. There is a way to have a random featured article for each day.

What we do is use magic words. For example: 28 produces 28, which is the day of the month. It will automatically update itself tomorrow and so on. Thus, one can go about and create a page like Idea Wiki:Featured Idea/August/28, which would, today, bring "Idea Wiki:Featured Idea/2024/August/28. All one has to do now is put content on every month and day that this will go on for.

New logo requested
Hello, Swerty, I requested a modification of the current logo here. Check it out! Deathgleaner 00:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The new logo request has been completed. Check it out!

IP edits; new logo
First of all, I've seen a lot of edits from IPs. Are those you, because they keep going back to the same three pages.

Secondly, our wiki has a new logo! Feel free to improve it or revert it if you absolutely hate it.

Get a twitter
Our wikia should get a twitter account at http://ideawiki.twitter.com (if not taken already). Will you consider?

Hi Swerty, Is the "Top Referrers" Widget working ?

Been watching it and there seems have been been just one outside referral in the last 2 weeks.

Hi Swerty,

Are you out there ?

No response to my "talk" post a week or so back.

Suggest try clearing the site cache to re-initialize referral widget.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

all the best,

Hi Swerty, Looks like referrers working again.

Pages for deletion
Hi Swerty, I just want to let you know, that there are several pages awaiting deletion. -- Weas-El  Talk|Contribs  21:54, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

There's a lot of articles which aren't ideas.
I'm all for people using their imagination to come up with new cartoon characters, like Kingdom Hearts Galaxy characters, but I'm going to try and stay true to the idea of the "idea wiki" where any kind of ideas can be posted. I hope in the future we can clean this site up a bit to help make sure that all the wiki-articles are ideas and not just copy-pasting from elsewhere. --Edmiidz 00:47, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Swerty,

I have been tracking the essay

"Instabilities in Oil Price and Volatility in US Elections"

One July 31 2011 it had 1651 visits and as of today Aug 20 2011 it has 1652. An increase of one.

On the other hand "History" for  "Instabilities in Oil Price and Volatility in US Elections" records more than 50 editing visits since July 31 2011.

I'm curious as to how the counter for the "most visited pages" page works.

Best wishes

Tom

Hi Swerty

The "most visited pages" counter on "Instabilities in Oil Price and Volatility in US Elections" jumped 9 yesterday after my msg. Thanks for unjamming this.

I notice a similar issue with the counter on "Volatility in the Price of Oil since Hubbert's Peak and Investment Risk" which has stayed essentially unchanged for a month, but edit counts suggest otherwise.

Can you pls see if this can be unjammed as well ?

Having accurate data is very helpful - I appreciate your efforts looking into this.

Best wishes,

Tom

Hi Swerty,

As you can probably tell from my wikis I like data. One reason is that I'm trying to figure out whether there is sufficient interest to publish my stories in another format. These numbers could be very useful in getting the support of a publisher for example.

I'd therefore like to get the data on page visit numbers the for the "Instabilities in Oil Price and Volatility in US Elections" and "Volatility in the Price of Oil since Hubbert's Peak and Investment Risk" wikis.

Please let me know how to do this.

Tx and best wishes,

Tom
