  • Why was my question redirected here?
    answered 17 days ago by View user pageWhiteguru
    Answer

    Oops! Sorry - that's not a question we can answer!

    There are some questions that just can't be answered, but they still get asked a lot on Wikianswers.

    Typical questions like this include "who am I?", "how are you?", and "huh?". Questions like that get redirected here.

    These questions can't be answered because they are either specific just to the asker (and so how would WE know the answer?) or the questions don't actually make much sense.

    Sometimes the problem is that your question lacked enough detail for it to be understood. A question like "How to level?" doesn't make much sense, whereas "How do I go up a level in World of Warcraft?" is easy to understand. Also simply naming something (eg. "Honda Civic") is not the same as asking a question. Have a look at How can I get my question on Wikianswers answered more quickly? for some useful tips.

    If your question was redirected here, thanks for testing out Wikianswers! We hope you'll now ask some questions that can be collaboratively answered on a wiki, or perhaps try to answer one of the 440,023 questions we have here already.

    Unfortunately these sorts of questions are not likely to be helpful to other people who are searching for information. As a result we just redirect the page here to help you (and anyone else reading your question) understand why your question won't be kept. (It also prevents the same questions being asked over and over again.)

    If you try to add a new question containing bad words, it may also be redirected here automatically. In such cases, please reword your question to be more family-friendly.


    To turn a page into a redirect here, just replace all content with this: {{subst:red}}

    This redirection isn't for total junk questions like asjhsjdkd? but for things which might be asked repeatedly. For those junk questions and also for questions that are not appropriate to keep at all, you can list those for deletion using {{delete|reason for deletion}} - just type that on the page above the content so that it can be deleted.

  • What does summary on the editing screen?
    answered 20 days ago by View user pageAngela
    Answer
    You can fill that in to tell other users what your edit was. For example, you can type "added section on geography" or "corrected spelling". It means others can see quickly what you've done without having to look at the page. See Help:Edit summary.

    On Wikipedia, or any other MediaWiki site, you can add your signature to a talk page by typing ~~~~. You can customize your signature in your preferences.
  • Is there a way to make money from a wikia wiki like ads or something?

  • How do I make contests on a wiki?
    answered 37 minutes ago by View user pageAngela
    Answer
    You can create a page about a contest is the same way you would make a normal page (see Help:New page) and then promote that page on the wiki's home page or even in the Site notice.

  • How do I delete a Wikia page?
    answered 14 days ago by View user pageTedjuh10
    Answer
    If you're an admin on the wiki then look for the delete link at the top of the article you want to remove.

    If you're not an admin, you can propose a page for deletion by using the {{delete}} template.

    See Help:Deletion for more information.

  • How do I delete my wiki avatar?
    answered 20 days ago by View user pageAngela
    Answer
    Just select the blank space in the avatar selection space. If that doesn't work, ask an admin to help as they can use special:removeavatar. Remember that this removes your avatar from almost all wikis, not only the wiki you're on.
  • What do the bold green numbers in my watchlist mean E.g - +559?
    answered 20 days ago by View user pageAngela
    Answer
    The green number in your watchlist, and on recent changes, is the number of characters added in that edit. If it's a red number, it's the number of charatcers removed. It's an easy way to spot major edits or possible vandalism, like page blanking.
