Re: New theme
Hi, Seth! I saw MinorStoops request because of the orange colour for the admins. You can change them here:  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  15:25, June 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki:Recentchangestext.


 * Oh, I understand. That you find here:
 * MediaWiki:Wikia.css


 * Begins with: /* Recent Change Colors For User Groups

When adding new users put them in alpha order */ /* BUREAUCRATS */


 *  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  18:06, June 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, that I didn't know. It does not change anything when you change this colour line?
 * { font-weight: bold !important; color:#800080 !important; }
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 07:21, July 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think I now know why that doesn't work with the admin colour. When I look in the MediaWiki:Wikia.css of my wiki there is this code:


 * /* Color admin links differently (Orange) */
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"] {
 * font-weight: bold;
 * color:#FF7F00;
 * }


 * This code I don't find here. Perhaps anymore? Perhaps it works when you change orange to purple and #FF7F00 to purple and then put this code onto this MediaWiki-page here.
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 17:11, July 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, everywhere you could read my name these lines must repeated with the names of all the admins. Here an example of Hunnie Bunn's Potter Dictionary Wiki:


 * /* Color admin links differently (Orange) */
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Alyncia"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Alyncia"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Alyncia"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Hunnie Bunn"] {
 * font-weight: bold;
 * color:#FF7F00;
 * }
 * <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 17:43, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

When you look here: Special.CSS Potter Dictionary Wiki you can see that user names with two names are written this way:


 * ul.special li a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Harry granger"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Harry_granger"],
 * ul.special li a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * table.mw-enhanced-rc td a[title="User:Hunnie Bunn"],
 * ul.activityfeed li cite a[href="/wiki/User:Hunnie_Bunn"]


 * First line: Without this sign: _ Example: Harry granger
 * Second line: Without this sign: _ Example: Harry granger
 * Third line: With this sign: _ Example:Harry_granger

When you look at the lines in your css they are written:

All three with the sign: _

I suggest that's the problem. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 12:11, July 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Great! I've seen it works now. Wonderful! Now you must change the MediaWiki:Recentchangestext back! <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 20:17, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

Harry Potter Food Fiction
Hey, Rick! Thanks again for helping us promote the wikia spiff stuff. I'm reaching out to you again because we were hoping to do a Harry Potter food fiction this month! Examples of food fiction we've done on other wikias can be found here: Recipes Wiki. We generally have submission blogs on the respective wikia and then a voting blog after the submissions period! The categories we have in mind are


 * Hogwart's Main Dishes
 * Desserts
 * Drinks
 * Favorite Jokeshop Treats (Zonkos, Honeydukes)
 * Magical Delights (potions or magical foods)

Is there an alternative category that you or any admin think would be better than one of the categories above? Something we've done before is like on Adventure Time we had a category for people good enough to eat since there are characters in the Candy Kingdom. Let me know what you think and if it would be alright for us to host the program here and promote it on the main page! Grace (profile)•(talk) 19:25, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome! I also love those other categories :D I guess what we will do now for categories (since this is for Harry Potter's birthday bash) is the following:
 * Locale for Party
 * "Host" of the Party
 * Hogwart's Main Dishes
 * Desserts
 * Drinks
 * Favorite Jokeshop Treats (Zonkos, Honeydukes)
 * Magical Delights (potions or magical foods)

And then "Grossest Food" sounds kind of fun so maybe we'll throw that in. I'll keep you updated! Grace (profile)•(talk) 21:02, July 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello! The Food Fiction blog is up :D Click here to check it out! Could you help us promote it on this wikia too? Also, would you mind if we put the banner that is on the blog on the Harry Potter character page so more people will know we're doing programming for his birthday? Let me know, thanks!

Book of Potions
A walkthrough of Wonderbook: book of Potions was uploaded on youtube.

Could you help creating articles?

Audio clips/Quidditch matches
I had a look on the audio clip forum and it seems that there are no objections so far. Do you know how to add the feature?

Also, I´ve thought about qudditch match articles and infoboxes again and think that it would be best to start creatinmg them after the 2014 QWC is over. What do you think?

--Rodolphus (talk) 10:20, July 7, 2014 (UTC)

Have you thoght about it?--Rodolphus (talk) 13:42, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Wikia's Comic-Con Team
Hey, Rick! Sorry to bother you again, but I'm sure you already saw that one of our Wikia staff members posted this blog asking for Wikians going to the San Diego Comic-Con to be a part of our Wikia team! We are hoping to get a bunch of people involved so I was wondering if we could add it somewhere on the main page or link to it from the Community Messages section? Let me know what you think, thanks! Grace (profile)•(talk) 19:57, July 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Great! I'll add it to News and Community Section then. Thanks for responding so quickly :D Grace (profile)•(talk) 20:54, July 8, 2014 (UTC)

Template:Daily Prophet individual infobox
Hi, Seth! Something is wrong with this above mentioned template. It seems to be the signature which breaks the template. Examples: Rita Skeeter and Ginevra Weasley. In the article of Bozo the template works correct. Perhaps you can have a look on it. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 15:38, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * What's going on here? The Template:Gryffindor individual infobox is also broken? It seems all infobox templates with signature are broken.  <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;">Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 15:43, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * When you look on the lion at the bottom of my user page you can see the file looks strange as the files of the signatures do. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 15:52, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you. I now know that it was a bug because Community Central has made an update and then it happened and is already fixed.

New question
In Pottermore - New from J.K. Rowling: Daily Prophet ("Dumbledore's Army Returns", 8 July 2014) was mentioned from Rita Skeeter that Hannah Longbottom has retrained as a healer. Shall we put Healer in the infobox as second job? And Hermione Granger is called Granger despite her marriage. In the infobox you can read Hermione Jean Weasley, née Granger. But is that really correct when she is already called Granger in 2014? <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 14:39, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just to add on to what Harry granger said about Hermione, actor's comments have been taken as canon before and Emma Watson specifically says Hermione kept her name; Rowling does not contradict her. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 12:49, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hi Seth Cooper!

I'm reaching out today to see if it's okay if we set up a "Parent Page" on the Harry Potter Wiki. Also, if you are okay with it, do you and the other admins have any interest in helping us fill it out?

Here is a Parent Page example from The Hunger Games Wiki to give you an idea of what the page entails. Essentially, it's a guide for parents about the age range for different wikis.

Let me know if you have any questions! We are planning to start setting up the pages over the next week or so. Thanks so much!

Best, Asnow89 @ (profile)•(talk) 23:02, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Two things.
One: we should put a notice on the front page that Krum was victorious in the Quidditch World Cup?! (YAY! I AM CRYING! THERE ARE TEARS AND ME SQUEALING AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN PUNCHING THE AIR AND SCREAMING AND EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!)

Two: Can we, after the July 8th article, state that Teddy is a half-werewolf half metamorphmagus? I know Skeeter stated it, but J.K. Rowling wrote the article for Pottermore. Thus, that makes it the highest tier of canon; Teddy is a half-werewolf half metamorphmagus. Shall I add it? It is, technically, canon. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 20:54, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, put that in. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 23:44, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Wizarding schools
Hi.

Watching the walkthrough I mentioned above, I noticed that several wizarding schools are mentioned:


 * A Russian wizarding school (Can you understand the name? I hear it as "Coldoseras")
 * An african wizarding school. Unfortunately, I couldn´t understand the name and where in Africa it is located.
 * The Japanse school we already knew of is also shown.

Can you create articles on those schools? Maybe we should create articles about each individual champion?

Also, what about crating articles on the potions championship comentator and the unidentified Hogwarts librarian at the start of the game?

--Rodolphus (talk) 13:26, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Can you understand where the African school is located? I think the commentator says something like hailing from ... in Africa.--Rodolphus (talk) 22:25, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Of course.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6W3FZULBtU&list=PLu-YMfPspAuGcYXaC2J1A2gb-0Zp34GI3&index=18

It´s at minute 1:45. Personally, I understand it as "Weikedu School of Magic" from somewehere in Afriva. What do you think? Perhaps yoz could also help me taking images of the champions.--Rodolphus (talk) 23:00, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

What are the chances of the Houe Points Game being restarted? I think it's really fun, but now that it's been discontinued, well I guess I'm just kind of disappointed. Allsevenbooks (talk) 03:54, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Marital status/actor comments
Firstly, I wondered if the fact that a female adult character does not wear a wedding ring could be a basis for adding perhaps a BTS note or a "Unmarried (possibly)" in the infobox for that character. Dolores Umbridge and Rita Skeeter are the first ones that come to mind not wearing rings, and neither one is mentioned to have a husband (both characters are so despicable that it wouldn't surprise me if they're unmarried). That would, of course, be only a possibly if anything.

Secondly, I noticed that on this page, actor's comments were considered canon with the length and history of the wand; why, then, can Watson's comments on Hermione's name and marital status not be considered canon? (I know Hermione's page has already been changed to reflect her maiden name, but I wanted to get the canon policy figured out). Thanks!--Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:48, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
