Phineas and Ferb Wiki in Spanish
Hi, I want to do the background to Phineas and Ferb Wiki in Spanish only have to enter the flag of Spain. Greetings. AndePhineas


 * (Deliberately left this at the top of my page as a reminder that it still needs to be done.)

German wiki
Hey,

I saw your answer on a blog which reminded me that you wanted to give us access to the files, too some months ago :D I just kept forgetting it, I had (and have) a lot to do and ave rarely time for the wiki. But access to the pictures would help me a lot. We also need to get the "new" design, especially from the main page with the episode rotatinator xD Shall I make you and Ferbot Admin on the wiki, too, btw? --Shego123 17:41, February 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, that will be needed in order to make the changes. I have decided to get back to cleaning up the pictures, so that will take a bit of time. If I share the files now, that means cleanup on both wikis (three, counting the Dutch wiki). Let me get back to you on the files, but the design changes can be put in fairly quickly. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 21:03, February 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, you two are admins, now. Thanks --Shego123 21:16, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Administrator need to be a few seconds to see the style of this wiki.&#123;&#123;SUBST:Usuario:Phineas10/Mi_Firma}} 20:13, February 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I need to wait until after March 1st to work on this. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:41, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Still to be done. I haven't forgotten about this. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:33, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Request for P&F wiki Vietnamese
Hi, Rabbit, I was going to request to you but until now. Can you give permission to me to make a P&F wiki another languge??? It's Vietnamese P&F wiki??? Can you??

I have view all look all your templates, you and PFStrikeMuffin are great template editor in P&F. You create some templates that I have learned more from you! And I have copied them to my some wikis in wikia site. (Sorry If you mad)

Before I was going to request for Chinese P&F for my country China and Chinese but now Vietnamese has easier to make.

If you accept, how can I create??? I know how create new wiki with English but create a new wiki other language available are out my permission. Can you show me???

Xiao Qiao (talk page), Beijing China GMT:+8:00 12:35 pm


 * Templates are free to you. Anyone can create a P&F wiki in any language. To make it officially connected to this wiki, there are some extra steps that have to be taken. Once those are are done, we can copy all of our pages to your wiki and all of our pictures are usable on your wiki. Then you start translating them from English to your own language.


 * I have been trying to work on getting the pictures cleaned up, so once that is much further along, we can look at getting this going for you. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:00, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Can you tell me how to creat that other language??? Click at "Creat you own wiki" right??? And fill in the ULR: Phineas and Ferb Việt Nam wiki right??? Can you tell me how! It's not familiar to me!

I will check here in the twilight (late afternoon)

Thanks,

Xiao Qiao, 1:20pm China

I have creat Vietnamese Phineas and Ferb wiki! Now can you help me about pictures, can you send them to Bách Khoa Toàn Thư về Phineas và Ferb Việt Nam (Phineas và Ferb Việt Nam wiki)??? About templates, I can care about it! (Oh, Vietnamese is not my language, I'm Chinese)

Can you give me the wiki background??? The triangle??? I remember the old-version of P&F wiki, I can save it easily but now hard to find that fife.

About wiki workmark??? Are you have idea for It, I have but I don't know how to create one.

Xiao Qiao 04:36, April 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * After the next newsletter is done, I can start helping you with this. What we will work on first is updating the look of the wiki. To do that, you will need to make me an administrator on the wiki.


 * Later on, User:Ferbot will need to also be added as an administrator and we will have to send in a request to Wikia to grant it Bot status on your wiki. This will need to be done to help with the translation. For example, if "Tip of the Day" is called something different, Ferbot can update all links automatically.


 * For the pages, there is an easy way to copy all of them from one wiki to another, and we will get to that later. For the pictures, I have to send a message to Wikia. They make an adjustment, and all of our pictures are usable on your wiki. You use them just like they were all uploaded to your wiki. I have to look up again how that works because edits to the picture pages feed back through all the wikis where they are being shared.


 * One of my projects has been to get our pictures cleaned up, so while that is being worked on, you would be able to translate other pages on the wiki. I will try to find my list of what has to be translated. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:22, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, allright, I will make you RRabbit42 and Ferbot be sysops on the wiki! All right, I have tour around wikis sister and see two of you many times, fanon, german... You are experience than me. I hope to work with you. And can you tell me how to create pages fast??? En P&F more than 1000 articles and a wonderful hidden special, category and templates system. That's great. About wiki workmark and triangle swatch, I wonder how do you make it easily???

Xiao Qiao 10:47, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

I have make RRabbit42 and Ferbot to be admins, can you help wiki theme???, triangle??? About wiki, can you tell me how I must Vietnamese all of them??? I change some wiki word to Vietnamese, example: Template page to Bản mẫu, Category to Thể loại, Wikiactivity: Hoạt động của wiki......???Can you tell me???


 * I will go into the Theme Designer shortly and double-check everything. I'm fighting a cold right now, I may not do much beyond that for a few days. But when we get started on this, what will happen is that I will take all the pages in a specific category like the Characters and send them to your wiki at one time. Then they will be translated into Vietnamese. Other adjustments like changing "Template" to "Bản mẫu" will be handled separately.


 * Also, just so I understand correctly, which language do you speak? Chinese or Vietnamese? —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 23:36, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I have make a theme design, it look like familiar to this wiki (I have make some different). Can you search for my Vietnamese's flag??? I don't know what it is.

About Bản mẫu (Template), Thể loại (category), Chỉnh sửa (Edit)..., I have request to staff since the day VN wiki born, now I'm patient.

I told you, I was going to make a Chinese P&F wiki for my 1.5 billion persons (largest population in the Earth) country but it's impossible, I can't do it alone without help. Some day I will request to you to create it (wait for me grow up). Vietnamese is just one of languages I finish learned. It is so familiar to me. Just that.

Other thing, why P&F wiki don't have a sister name French P&F wiki??? English, German, ..., Espanol. Why don't have French???

(Xiao Qiao, Beijing China 8:20am)

Sister wikis
Hi Rab42, can you tell me how the vi P&F wiki be a sister wiki??? Are there rules or some thing I don't know? Please tell me about this, thanks, Rab42.


 * I am still working on cleaning up the pictures, so please read our page on Affiliated Wikis to get an idea of what will be done. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:22, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Page Creation Portal
Im a administrator of polish wikia about phineas and ferb and I have question :

How did you do tepmlate for songs episodes etc. in page creation portal? I copied template spacer but its only for one page, but if i click on my wikia "new episode" it make blank page how to make it work? MaLiN2223 08:18, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * There are some other templates that the Portal uses. It bypasses the "create a new page" function that the wikis have because we have several different layouts that we use. Now that the work on the blogs is done, I will get back to helping you with this. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:51, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Dutch Phineas and Ferb Wiki
Hi,

Here I am, DonnaxNL. Can you place the Phineas and Ferb layout to the Dutch Wiki?

And can you again sync the pages (like new episodes). I update some names of the newest episodes and songs here.

I hope I gonna hear more from you. DonnaxNL 19:38, April 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * We definitely need to get the newest versions of the pages sent over. I have been trying to work on the pictures as much as I can so that I don't have to change the links to them more than one time. I know it's slow going, but please just bear with me for a bit more. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:55, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Help me some things!
Hi Rab, can you tell me, in this wiki, when I click on "Add a page", a layout choosing window appear, how can it contain: "Do not use this form for making new pages. Click on the X in the upper-right corner to cancel this window, then go up to the "Community".......", how, can you show me?

Do you have a list of MediaWiki: page?? Can you give me this list?

Help me this:

When I fill video the code of this video, example: uoV2adaRBWU, why the video does not work???

I add the tag    in oder to make easier to fill, just fill code youtube, make the fit size with my wiki infobox, and avoiding the problem when edit infobox character

Do you know this problem that I said??? When you edit character page's infobox, WYSIWYG mode, you check the infobox, you will see the parameter "Video" will be miss some thing,    change into  youtube width=200 height=150  (miss <, >), that is the problem, when members click save, the video doesn't appear after, they become vandalism although they don't want, can you check that??? You re-edit again by re-adding <, >, preview, It's okay but If you check that infobox again, the problem still be it, missing <, >!

Please help me about all of this, thank Rabb42

Xiao Qiao ( talk page ) 10:04, April 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * All of the MediaWiki pages are found in Special:AllMessages, listed as "System messages" in the "Wiki data and tools" area of the Special Pages. The page you're looking for to put in that message is MediaWiki:createpage-dialog-message1. If you want to have blank lines, you have to use line breaks.


 * When I worked on the Infoboxes a while back, I could not get it to accept just the video number. I had to use the full code, like this:  12345678 


 * What you describe about the being removed from the code is caused by the Rich Text Editor, the default editor for new users. It tries to do things "correctly" and often messes up code that is working fine. I have long since switched to the standard editor in my preferences.


 * Last time I checked your wiki, it looked like you were adding a lot of the pages and pictures yourself. There is an easy way to send the pages since they are all organized by category, and I mentioned previously that we can share our pictures with other wikis. I am still working on the pictures, so I'd like to get that a lot closer to being done before we share the pages and pictures, to save having to make changes on more than just the English wiki. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:09, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Episode layout
Hi RRabb42, about layout episode, how do you create it to the layout window??? I don't talk about the Phineas and Ferb Wiki:Create page, I talk about the layout window when click on "Add a page"! Can you tell me how, i will going to create it on vi wiki. Please help me know about it!

Xiao Qiao ( talk page ) 01:37, May 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a way to copy pages from one wiki to another pretty quickly, but I need to wait a bit before doing this. Part of updating the picture information is updating all the pages that use those pictures. So if I send the pages over to your wiki, I have to go back in and change the links more than once. It will get done. Just give me some time. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:46, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Some things!
Hi RRab42, can we add link a page to others affiliated wikis? Example that Candace Flynn, we should add link Candace Flynn on the De wiki, Br wiki, ..., Es wiki... that will make the people easy to know affiliated wikis and easy to find their own languages. Like wikia, in the bottom of the page, there: "More Languages: .... see more, we should do this thing, shouldn't we?

I see on Candace Flynn on wikipedia, they write at that she is a main antagonist? doesn't she?

Xiao Qiao ( talk page ) 14:52, May 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * The language links are an interesting idea. I will have to look into that later. As to Wikipedia, it is written in a more formal manner than this wiki is, so that's why Candace is labeled as an antagonist. We don't need that kind of detail here. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:30, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Interwikis link request
Here this is: Community Central:Interlanguage link requests! That is the pages that you will request language link later, you request for Official wikis, other members can request by themselves or you can request for all of community wikis.

What about Forum:Who can develop the community, make us bigger?? Have you read it yet? --- Xiao Qiao ( leave a message ) 07:36, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did read it. I am not eligible to adopt this wiki for a few months, so another person would need to do it. The admin asked for help a while back to make it an Affiliated Wiki, but I have not heard back from them since. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:10, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Chat on wiki directly, faster and easier
Hi RRab42, do you have news that Wikia has a new feature: Chat on wiki for these days? don't you? I think PF Official wiki should have this feature. You can request to staff. Some wikis have test it. It based on Special:Chat. Easy to find it, in My Home page, in User page, members just click on join the chat and will talk to all community! Please check this on central wikia!


 * --- Xiao Qiao ( leave a message ) 02:55, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Topher and I noticed that new chat feature, but I can't remember at the moment what we discussed about it. We already have an IRC channel, so we weren't sure if this would work better, worse or just differently. I will try to ask him next time I see him on the IRC channel. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:14, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Search engines
Can you help me this, how I can enable the wiki link to Google or Yahoo search that will make people come to the wiki site easier. I have seen that this Official wiki always have been the top of list search and have a navigation follow the link (ex: Episodes, Characters, List of songs, Across the 2nd Dimension, The Belly of the Beast, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Rollercoaster: The Musical!, Phineas Flynn..). How? Can you tell me! I need to add this to enable on Yahoo and Google Vietnamese that make Vietnamese fans can come to vi wiki! Can you help show me this? Now it is summer vacation and I need to build the wiki fast activities like summer activities of Phineas and Ferb at there backyard! Please help!


 * --- Xiao Qiao ( leave a message ) 11:53, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * The way this is done is by the web pages themselves. There are all sorts of formulas the search engines use to determine what pages to list first, but the simplest method is to count how many times a word is used. For example, having "Phineas" on a page 20 times. The better search engines also weigh how useful those words are and determine if they are just being thrown in on the page to boost search results.


 * This just shows that I really need to get the file pages updated. I know I keep saying this, but what I am trying to do is avoid giving you and the other wikis the pages, then having to go to all of those wikis and track down each and every broken picture and fix those. The idea is that I do it first here, then we can just concentrate on translating the pages into German, Spanish, and so forth. It will be much harder and take much longer if I don't make the fixes here first. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:14, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Affiliated Portuguese wiki and Interwiki links
Hi RRabbit, I have request Interwiki language links at Community Central:Interlanguage link requests (section Phineas and Ferb Wiki community!). Hope you and other member will do it soon, the staffs will check it easily! Just one click, one link between! 1 wiki, 6 clicks!

I have some thing to tell you. Please go to these 2 links: w:c:pt-br.phineaseferb and w:c:pt-br.phineasferb, these are Phineas and Ferb Portuguese wiki. The first one is an affiliated wiki, does the second one??? The first wiki's admin have been inactive since March 2011 and his last edit is February 2010, that mean the wiki have been not adopted by anyone til now, it is slow to rising. The second one has 3 admins active (I think everyday), the wiki look so great and colorful, although it has a number of pages less than the 1st one but it is developing now. Can you check about it? Thanks RRabb.

Japanese Phineas and Ferb Wiki
In addition after the Dutch,German and Spanish comes the Japanese Phineas and Ferb wiki which would be called "フィニアスとファーブ：ウィキ" —Pichu8boy 08:36, May 31, 2011 (UTC).

Ferbot with language links, admin right!
All of affiliated wikis must let Ferbot be an bot and an admin of them! This must success. Like wikipedia, there are many bots but our wikis just need Ferbot.

One way I have think before, like wikipedia way, the first thing need be done that members in here or Shego, Donnax, Malin, AndePhineas, and me must add other wiki language links to this wiki.

Example: I add  Perry, das Schnabeltier, Perry el Ornitorrinco, Perry het Vogelbekdier, Pepe Pan Dziobak, Thú mỏ vịt Perry  (Brazil later) to the page name Perry the Platypus in here. Ferbot must recognize each link, then Ferbot go to each affiliated wiki, and add these link to them.

Ferbot go to the link  Perry, das Schnabeltier  (Perry the Platypus in German) and add  Perry the Platypus, Perry el Ornitorrinco, Perry het Vogelbekdier, Pepe Pan Dziobak, Thú mỏ vịt Perry  to the page, then continue to es, nl, pl and vi wiki. That it is, Ferbot have automatic done the Perry the Platypus pages in all wikis!

But let this later, I will wait and be patient for you done your work, Shego and AndePhineas seem agree but I don't have any receive from Donnax and Malin, cause they are inactive now. You must call Topher, Ryan, Ardi and Flash help and share your activities.

About Brazil, I will call PeF001, he said that want to be affiliated wiki but he don't speak English? ? ?, if we will have two affiliated wikis in Brazilian but I just want 1, 2 wiki should be merge to 1, Special:Contact will be helpful, I have merge two wikis that with Dopp help (Dopp is a wikia staff). But at all, the problem here is PeF001 don't speak English. What I must do? Maybe I will try with other 2 admin at there.

About admin's right, you should convince them, example AndePhineas, I think Ande will let Ferbot and you be an sysop (the most important thing, they must know English), if they decline, they are suffer and get damage, not you, they will do all thing by themselves.

About French wiki, I know, 60 days and 60,... so long because you have been given admin right more time. Wait to August and leave best summer days ever? This is a not good idea! adopt.wikia.com is not the best place to request because they have rules, a wikia staff maybe helpful. You should contact staff, tell them you have been given admin right in affiliated wiki just for help and make wiki background, not contribute more, convince them, they will let you be an admin of French wiki, some kind will no rules! I think.

RRabbit, can I ask you something. Can you contact staff to enable wikia lab for this wiki?, you and 4 other admins will use it. This will include achievement board badge like Fanon. This wiki will have wiki badges, but I know, these badge is so boring, but please let it interest, you can change all of them to Fireside Girls Patches, some patches need your and 4 admins' creative. You will find interest at them! And this wiki will active than it be! Fireside Girls!

Hope luck for your good work, one day all thing will succeed! I believe!
