Horticulture and Soil Science Wiki
Edit
I have founded a wiki. Been working on it for little more than a week now. I have done editing on several wikis before but this is the first time I am an admin/founder. I am not a very technical person and would like some help sprucing up my wiki and making it presentable. I also need some help recruiting other admins and editors. Thanks.

DragonVale Wiki
Edit
Working to finally get cleaned up. We're hitting some snags while trying to figure out a good balance between basic functionality and aesthetics and would like assistance cleaning the front page to something suitable for an iOS app, and dealing with templates. Those are our main issues currently, and perhaps suggestions for slimming information for more user-friendly navigation.

Total Drama Roleplay Wiki
Edit
I really need help with the front page of this wiki. For some reason, one of the headers looks odd; the "Recent News" header looks fine but the "Random Quote" header is all crammed up to the right. I'm not sure how to fix this because each time I increase the width of the headers, the only thing that changes is the "Recent News" bar, which gets longer.
I don't really understand too much coding; all I'm wondering is if there's any way I can make it look better. I've also tried adding a middle column but there's no luck there, either. If you could ask someone to help me out, or if you'd like to do it yourself, that would be great. If there's no possible way to increase the second header or add a middle column, do you know if anyone has any ideas to make the front page look better? --TDIFan13 02:08, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

One Piece Wiki Italia
Edit
Hello, this is my wiki: One Piece Wiki Italia. I need some help and suggestions:
- We have users who prefer monobook, so I'd like to know what should I do to improve the compatibility between skins and if there are useful JS for monobook users. I'd like to have some example of monobook CSS-theme/customizations to improve the overall looks with that skin as well, any informations will be useful.
- I'd like to hear some opinions on my home page design and theme: thoughts, opinions, critics and suggestions, anything is appreciated.
- How can I create a drop-down menu template with CSS only? Something simple, just like the wiki navigation but only with one main menu and only first level sub-elements, for example:
- Menu
- Element
- Element
- Element
- Menu
- Now a thorny matter: attract new users. Well, until today I tried to: improving hot content, increasing our SEO, regularly submitting page to crawlers, applying for spotlights, adding interwiki links on the English version, creating a manga/anime cross wiki template navigation, creating a facebook page (131 likes), creating a wiki answers site (which basically is full of back-links to the wiki), but over more than a year I didn't get any sensible results, we are only two daily editors (we admins) and some passer bys which didn't edit in ages. I know, that you cannot really help me on this, but do you think I miss or didn't try something? I think our main problem is that One Piece in Italy is very popular (that's not really a problem!) hence there are tons of forums and sites on One Piece, but since the wiki was born a little late the fan community is already divided and addicted to other sites. Any suggestions on how I can attract those user on my wiki? Because I will only be treated like a spammer if I go there to advertise my wiki. Just wanted to hear other opinions on this.
Thank you. leviathan

Death Note Wiki
Edit
Hello. Death Note wiki has been flourishing over the past few months, with better organization, more positive contributions and general teamwork. However, our main page is pretty bland and not exceedingly helpful to people when they arrive there. We need some help at making the main page both informative and interesting to look at. I'm a pretty big fan of Bleach wiki's main page, but I don't know how to do that, and I don't want DN wiki's main page to be a copycat of theirs. Is there any way you guys can help? Thank you, MarleneZ. 05:27, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Sims3pets Wiki
Edit
I am not sure if you can do this, but please can you give me back my wiki. I have been absent from the wiki for a few months due to family matters and now I am back. In my e - mail from the wikia support team, it said I can return to normal anytime I like. I haven't done anything wrong, so that is not on, just blocking people like that. Please help me with this. Even though you may think that stolen wiki is a small little thing, it is not because you're showing wiki theifs that they can do what they like. You do something about vandalism, but a whole wiki being stolen is even worse. Please help me!!! :( :(

Game Ideas wiki
Edit
I don't need massive amounts of help in specific areas, but want some feedback for the things that I have done. The Game ideas wiki has the highest (best? most impressive?) SEO rank if anyone should google video game ideas wiki, despite two other wikis of that name. I'm also the one to change the text in the link description. I've created a new main page layout, navigation technique template and a bunch of other stuff. I've asked the community what they think of the changes, but they would use the wiki no matter what it looks like. If you could provide pointers if i've missed anything, or tips on how to improve, that'd be great. And hopefully, you can use the interface that I designed to navigate the first part of the wiki.
This wiki may be one of the biggest (at least thus far) who are asking for help. But no matter. It's new enough. I am the most active admin, checking every day, and really the only active admin at the moment. And I need 100 edits? How about 100 short of 2k?

All Birds
Edit
http://allbirdsoftheworld.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
Hi. I need help. I was wondering if there was a way to remove the "On the Wiki" on the navbar. I want to be able to add this:
- category:Passeriformes|Passerines
- category:Acanthisitti|NZ Wrens
- category:Tyranni|Suboscines
- category:Passeri|Songbirds
[truncated due to the sheer numbers of passerines]
However; it appears there's already five main things on it. I wanted to add a fifth because 60% of birds are passerines and I figured a separate first level would be appropriate.
If not, then that's okay. I'm just a bit ticked/frustrated that I can't add a sixth.
