[edit] Language
How can I change the default language of my wiki? e.g. zh-tw to zh or zh-cn to zh? --虞海 (talk) 09:52, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure Staff can change the language for you. If you wish to request a language change, feel free to contact them. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 15:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Cross-Wiki Use
The introduction states that "Editing on the help namespace is restricted, because these Help: pages are shared between all ShoutWiki wikis." However, at least on my main wiki, the help files do not appear to show up. I've solved the issue (in the interim) by redirecting the page, but it would be nice to know if this has been noticed yet or not. 〆vonPreußen/talk
- This is a known bug (bug #18), which has been assigned to Skizzerz. --Jack Phoenix

[edit] Wikia's new skin is an opportunity for Shoutwiki
As the staff of shoutwiki may know, wikia is changing over to a mandatory new skin, on November 3rd. This has the community in an uproar. A new forum has begun which gives editors alternatives on where they can transfer their wikis. Shoutwiki is prominently mentioned as an alternative a lot in this forum.
This is a great opportunity for shoutwiki to acquire hundreds of dedicated editors. Would your site consider creating a temporary page for the next month to two months, touting the benefits of shoutwiki compared to wikia, how easy it is to transfer, and how great the assistance will be from the staff? We could then link to this page, and actively advertise it on wikia.
thank you for your time. 800poundgorilla (talk) 20:10, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- As someone who just moved his wiki from Wikia to ShoutWiki after seeing said references, I'd offer to help to build and circulate such a page if the staff are up for it. 〆vonPreußen/talk
