From Jobs Wiki
Hi -- we are excited to have you as part of the Wikia community!
Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!
- Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
- We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
- If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ
If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.
Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!
Best wishes, CatherineMunro
[edit] Reply to your email
Hi, we got your email, but there was no reply address, so I'll reply here. Sorry about the name being wrong above, a glitch in our wiki creation program. I've fixed the message.
You ask about "sections", do you mean "categories"? You can add them just by typing [[Category:Whatever]] in the article. That will add the "Whatever" category. You can edit the category page by following the red link at the bottom of the saved article. When you edit that category page, you can add it to higher categories in the same way: by typing [[Category:Whatever higher]]. There are also useful pages in the Special:Specialpages section, including a Category tree
Hope that helps!

For logo help, please see http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Logo
All you need to do, is make an image of the right size, and upload it here! Let me know if there is anything on that page you don't understand -- sannse

[edit] Logo
Thanks ... I figured out the sections.
For the Logo, your page: http://jobs.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Starting_this_wiki says someone at Wikia will help design or create a logo ... so I'm asking for help here - I'm no artist.
Thanks, Sandra
- Sure. One of the Wikia helpers can do that for you (or someone else from the community. I added the request to the page at Wikia:Forum:Logo creation campaign, if you have any more specific ideas on what you would like, please drop in there and add your comments :) -- sannse

Hey Sharimo1, I saw your request on the Logo creation campaign page, so I made and uploaded a logo (as you can see). I hope you like it. If you want to make any changes to it, or if you need any other images made for the wiki, just leave a message on my talk page. Cheers. JoePlay (talk) 17:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
