Forum:Wikia requests

OK so every so often an issue might come up that might require us to contact Wikia, or it might just be something we have a preference for. So this is just a thread of any suggestions we might like to ask Wikia in the future and debate them.

So some things to throw out there.
 * Disabling visual editor.
 * Visual editor is likely responsible for the category duplication glitch (or it could just be editing in general on Oasis).
 * It is what causes people to add links like John instead of John and other html onto pages and not use the HS and other MSPA link templates.
 * Infoboxes/navboxes/tables disable visual editor causing an inconsistent editing experience, while this is lessened here due most instances of these being transcluded I'll get to that in the next point.
 * Templates are near unworkable in visual editor and work in some stupid pop-up way.


 * Disable read more.
 * I personally have nothing against read more, I am just listing the fact that it can be disable if anyone does have something against it.
 * The read more pages usually aren't related, unless they are character pages in which case they are just listing other random characters.
 * They usually mangle the images they display, especially images with transparency are given a black background which just clashes with lots of images, especially characters with black hair, e.g. most characters.
 * We can actually disable this ourselves with a script, however from what I've heard Wikia likes to keep track of which wikis have it enable or disabled.


 * Image uploaded by.
 * On Oasis, when viewing an image as a thumbnail on a page it unnecessarily credits the uploader in a completely irrelevant and unneeded place.
 * OK Wikia won't disable this, but that doesn't mean I can't want it.
 * We can disable it ourselves with a script, but that is against Wikia's Terms of Service.
 * We can however add the disable script to your own personal scripts' page. And make a page of useful scripts listing it and encouraging users to add it to their accounts.
 * Fuck I hate this thing.


 * Expand powers of rollback users a bit more? We did it once before, if we have another power we want to give them we should have it listed somewhere.

Well that is all I have. - The Light6 (talk) 14:44, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
