Is there a list or something on wetpaint where I can find other wikis to join? (Are they called pages? I'm kind of confused about the difference between pages and wikis on this site...) I just would like to join wikis for shows, games, bands, etc. I'm a fan of, I don't really know how to do that...

There are a couple of ways to find other wikis on Wetpaint. Here are some useful links for you to read through.
1. Wetpaint Promotional Ads. A wiki created so others could advertise their wikis. WPADS has many wikis listed.
http://wpads.wetpaint.com/
2. Splats2 wiki lists and search criteria. Helps find wikis in the different categories available on Wetpaint.
http://splats2.wetpaint.com/page/Wiki+Lists
Copy and paste the links into your browser's address window.

"I have noticed over time that people have tiny print that hangs in the air next to the larger world, though I was wondering how they got that there?" There are two ways of accomplishing what you are looking for. 1. Utilizing the Character Map in Windows. This is found in All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map. Find the small characters or special characters and copy and paste them to your page or thread or wherever. e.g. 1 ²³ 4 5 ۞۞۞ ᴀᴃᴄᴅABCD ᴥᴥᴥ 2. Go to Messletters and select from the various designs they have. http://www.messletters.com/en/

I can't seem to find a whole lot of information on the whole adopting-a-site deal, but from what I understand, if no moderator or administrator has been active on the site for more than six months, the site is eligible for adoption. Is this correct? Are there any other requirements?
Also, if I were to adopt a site, what are the steps I would have to take to do it?
Thank you very much to anyone who responds. xx

I have a library wiki that has been blocking children's librarians from accessing the site while at work; when I get the abuse message on my work computer, I've e-mailed the given address 3 times and still haven't heard any word back (it has been about a month). This is a really important tool for us as children's librarians, and the fact that we haven't been able to use it is causing some real problems. Please, someone let me know what I need to do about this.

It could also be happening because pages with information are being added to quickly and the site sees it as spamming. Everyone using the site needs to be aware not to overload the pages or any photos too quickly. Please pm walrusworldstudios with the IP number and let him know whats happening. He can arrange to have the threshold lifted.

Embeddable Chat Widgits

Thread started: Monday, 11:14 AM EDT

I have been searching for weeks for any chats that can be used on Wetpaint.
99chats is the main one I used to use, but they are having too many issues and I can no longer use them.
Chatango, I understand that you did work around for it, and I do use chatango, but I need something else.
Xat, xat is a pain because it often erases messages and is not customiseable.
With Wetpaint not allowing script codes, it pretty much renders all other option void.
With all the supposed changes and updates that Wetpaint are doing, would there be a Script / iFrame server available so we can use other codings ect.
I would like something similar o 99chats with the ability to customise the layout and the unlimited list of fonts and colours available but even on similarsites.com there is nothing.
The Meebo thing you have a tab for in the widgits is no longer an option, or I cannot see how that is workable chat...
So any ideas?

Hi UnderlineMe,
Wetpaint is only making hardware upgrades to their servers by implementing better hardware to improve server speed. In the next update, Wetpaint will not be adding new features to the wiki platform, so it is very doubtful that they will add support for Javascript widgets in the next update. With that being said, Wetpaint currently supports iFrame coding, so if you follow the instructions below, you will be able to add a script chatroom widget to your site.
In order to start this process, you need to determine which scriot embedded chatroom you prefer. Once you decide which chatroom you want to use, paste the embedded code of the chatroom in a Notepad document. After doing this, you need to save this Notepad document to your computer. When upu save the document, you can name it whatever you want, but make sure that you attach .html at the end of its title. You also need to change the File Type to include "All Files" rather than solely "Text Files". Now that the document is saved to your computer, you need to upload it to your site as an attachment. To do this, you need to go to any page on your wiki, select "More Tools", and add the Notepad document to your site. Open the attachment and find out what its URL is. Once you've attached the file, edit the page and paste the following code with the appropriate details into the "Other Widget".
<iframe name="desired name of iFrame" src="link of the attachment from above" width="desired width" height="desired height" scrolling="yes or no">
The above piece of code is the iFrame coding that is compatible with Wetpaint. Once you have pasted the proper code to the "Other Widget" and saved the page, the chatroom will appear on the page. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reply with a post that explains them.

Are there still active mods there you can talk to? If he is still there and doesn't want anyone to add to his site there is nothing you can do about it. Might be best to find another site to join.

Hey tawust,
If you want the individual history of the entire homepage to be deleted, you will have to go through each version of the homepag and manually delete them from the history of the homepage. To do this, you must be a moderator or an administrator. Since you do not have that status on the wiki at the present moment, I suggest that you ignore this method and resolve your issue with the following solution. There is a way for Wetpaint to delete your site from its server. This will not only remove its presence from the server, but it will also delete its existence on Google. If you want your site deleted by Wetpaint, please send me a message with the following information: your username, the site's web address, and the reason you want the site to be deleted. Once you give me this information, I will pass it along to our contact at Wetpaint, who will delete your site as soon as possible.
If you have anymore questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reply with a post that explains them.

Hey ObserverOriginal, If you have edited the code properly and still cannot get your Grooveshark Playlist to work, there is another workaround you can use that will work if you do it right. If you have already created your Grooveshark Playlist, you need to copy and paste the original, not modified, embedded code to a Notepad document. As long as you are using a Windows computer, you will be able to find Notepad by searching through your computer's files. Once you've pasted the original embedded code of the playlist to Notepad, save the document. When saving the document, you can name it whatever you want, but make sure that you attach .html to the end of the file's name. Make sure you change the "File Type" of the document from "Text" to "All Files". Once you've completed all these steps, you need to attach this Notepad document to your site. The attachment tool is located in the "More Tools" editing section. Once you've attached the file to one of your pages, open the attached file and copy the URL of the attachment. Now that you have the URL of your Notepad document, which contains your playlist, you need to plug the required information into the following equation: <iframe name="desired name of iFrame" src="link of the attachment from above" width="desired width" height="desired height" scrolling="yes or no"> Once you've filled out this form with the appropriate information, paste the entire form into the "Other Widget". If you have done all the steps above correctly, you will be able to see your newly created Grooveshark playlist. This method requires you to use an iFrame to add the playlist to the site, so if you need further information concerning the use of iFrames, click on the following link: Using iFrames: http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Including+HTML+Pages-Matt

"the owner was last online april 22 and the other admins haven't been on in a bit either. That admin is a bit hot headed so i doubt she'll do anything about it." Hey ArdenAurelius, Although this is a betrayal of trust from an administrator, there is nothing that the Staff Members of this site can do to remedy the situation. Even though Vanessa, our contact at Wetpaint, works on certain custom requests, this request would not qualify as an appropriate request that she would complete. The most that you can do to remedy this situation is ask any currently active moderator or administrator to delete your IP address from the page or the thread post. These kinds of issues must be worked out diplomatically because, as I stated above, the Staff on Wetpaint Central cannot help you fix the issue. It's worth noting that moderators and administrators have the ability to see your IP address if you post anonymously, so if they are the only ones that have access to it, they are not overstepping their bounds. However, if they posted your IP address in the view of the public, they are overstepping their bounds, and you will have to handle the issue diplomatically with one of the currently active Staff Members. -Matt

"thx" Hey Joe, As CryingDove explained above, a year ago, Wetpaint installed an automatic IP banning system to hinder spammers from doing too much damage to a site. After a certain number of contributions within a given interval of time, the system will activate and automatically ban the IP responsible for this sudden surge in activity. In this case, OtisBDriftwood added too many photos and edited too many pages within a small span of time, which triggered the system to ban his IP. The advice that CryingDove posted above should be passed onto OtisBDriftwood, as it is good advice. However, I passed Otis's IP onto Wetpaint and asked them to increase the threshold at which the IP banning system is activated for his IP. I expect that his IP limit will be increased in the next few days. However, even with an increased threshold, OtisBDriftwood could still be banned if he contributed to a wiki too frequently; therefore, it is best to ask OtisBDriftwood to edit the pages at a less frequent pace. If you have anymore questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reply with a post that explains them. -Matt

RE: Site's robots.txt issue?
By: ,
May 14 2013, 9:11 AM EDT
Google recently changed their search algorithm to eliminate spam websites. There are two ways of stopping search engines from crawling a wiki.
meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"
The robots meta tag in the above example instructs all search engine not to show the page
in search results.
Noindex = Do not show this page in search results and do not show a "Cached" link in search results.
Nofollow = Do not follow the links on this page
There is also a "robots.txt" file that can be used that will allow or disallow certain crawlers.
After the robots.txt file (or the absence of one) has given permission to crawl a page, by default pages are treated as
crawlable, indexable, archivable, and their content is approved for use in snippets that show up in the search results,
unless permission is specifically denied in a robots meta tag or X-Robots-Tag
Neither of the two are available for end-user modifications The meta tag code cannot be modified nor can the creation of a robots.txt file be performed from the user side. It is under Wetpaint's control.
Google new algorithm is geared to showing the most popular sites. So many sites will not be displayed in the results pages and their rankings will drop dramatically.
You may want to visit Google's Webmaster Guidelines to see what/whatnot to do that will effect your wiki in a Google search.
Your wiki has not changed, but Google's algorithm has.
I will try to get a better feel for why WP wikis are being effected. This thread will be made available to pass along to WP to see if they can provide an answer from the server side of Wikis by Wetpaint.
