Thank you

Thanks for making this, everyone. I've just finished watching a box set of all eight films and this wiki has really helped me get the hang of who does what and why. Fadzrina Sappayani June 5,2015

Misspelling

The latest (as I type) "Did You Know" on the Main Page includes the word "favorite". This violates this wiki's language policy, which is that articles must be in British English. An admin needs to change it to "favourite". — RobertATfm (talk) 05:06, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Good catch. I fixed it, thanks! ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:06, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations

Just realised, we now have 11,000 pages on this wiki! --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:10, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

Featured Poll

I really think we should change the featured poll. It's there 4 such a long time, and watever ppl vote on it's still Prongs. Change it to something like, oh I dunno, something about the 4 houses or something. Arya Drottning (talk) 07:29, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

New Wiki

I've just (under ten hours ago as I type) created a Cormoran Strike Wiki and would like this added to the Other Wikis section if this is OK. I also need plenty of editors to get the ball rolling (pun not intended)! — RobertATfm (talk) 14:57, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Now that the new CS novel, Silkworm is due out the day after tomorrow, how about the CS wiki being linked to from the Main Page, as the TCV wiki is? And how about a few people heading over there to help? — RobertATfm (talk) 14:37, June 17, 2014 (UTC)

Strike the above. I'm merging both the JKR wikis I founded into a new one, The J. K. Rowling Adult Fiction Wiki. — RobertATfm (talk) 18:34, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

Czech HP Wiki

cs.harry-potter.wikia.com

Hi everyone, I'm the creator of this page and I would like to make it as a oficial Czech wikia page. I don't know who is the creator of cs.harrypotter.wikia.com, but the page is disaster. Can you please make my page oficial czech HP wikia on your page?

New film series: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Anyone care to add this to the site news? --xensyria^T 14:30, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Reference Error on Main Page

Hey guys, there seems to be a referencing error on the Main Page. I looked at the page source but sadly could not find the source of the error. It may be also be coming from the transcluded templates being used on the Main Page. Anyways, just was passing by and thought you should know this. On another note, I must say you guys have a terrific Main Page.--Spartacus ^{[ Talk • Central ]} 16:25, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

That comes from the "On This Day" section. Anytime the dates listed are referenced in the original date article, the reference is carried over to the current date template. But since the Main Page doesn't include the References list the date article does, it shows up as an error. - Nick O'Demus 16:29, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

If this bugs you, you could add a hidden reflist, like this:

<span style="display:none;">{{reflist}}</span>

Put on its own line at the end of the page (or at least after the references appear) and reference tags like this^[1] won't give an error. Otherwise, you could add a visible reflist (maybe inside a scrolling list to reduce the impact) to the bottom of "On This Day". --xensyria^T 18:20, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

That got it. Thanks! - Nick O'Demus 19:06, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

New page layout

What do people think of the new look? I personally find the fact that the only search option is at the top, above the adds disturbing, and the need to specify whether or not the searcher wishes to search only this wiki annoying at best, and very dissapointing at worst. I'm all for fixing things that are broken, and for changing things up now and again, but this feels like the opposite of improving the user interface, and I for one greatly dislike it. What does everyone else think about it? Dr. Galenos (talk) 18:48, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Uh... I see no problems. Everything here seems to be fine to me - everything is where it should be. Though, admittedly, it will take a while for me to get used to the new look. I approve of it, Admins - you did good. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 19:29, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Junk Edit

Someone is doing junk edits. The admins need to revert the changes and ban the editor.Cloudtheavenger (talk) 07:50, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

==Take some pride==

Seriously? Don't you admins come here often to ensure junk edits don't happen? It's part of the responsbilities of an admin of a wikia.Cloudtheavenger (talk) 08:51, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

The last contributor to the page was an admin, and before that was a member of Wikia staff helping redesign. Either way, I fail to see where these "junk edits" are affecting. If you feel there's something wrong with the page, could you please point out where on the page is being affected? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 11:11, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

Wiki change

I am closing down the The Casual Vacancy wiki. Could an admin please update that link to the new one, The J. K. Rowling Adult Fiction Wiki, which of course covers both the wikis I previously founded. — RobertATfm (talk) 18:31, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

Done - Nick O'Demus 04:09, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Done - Nick O'Demus 04:11, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Christmas theme

Does this Wikia have a Christmas theme during the Holidays or on the day itself? I swear I've seen it before. Gourgeist (talk) 05:56, September 11, 2014 (UTC)

No one? :[ Gourgeist (talk) 23:15, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, sometimes a Christmas theme is added by certain contributor(s) in the day or few before Christmas, if sufficient demand is given. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:30, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Here is a snapshot by the Web Archive of the Main Page of this wiki on 7 December 2012, showing the Christmas theme it had then. — RobertATfm (talk) 00:22, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks guys! ^____^ Gourgeist (talk) 17:53, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Films first, then books

Why are "Films" first and "Books" second on the main page, rather than the other way around? --Kritique (talk) 01:09, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

Custom cursor

I'm not good at working on wikia's so I probably posted this in the wrong section. Anyways, I had an idea. What do you all think of a custom cursor/mouse? (If you don't get what I mean, check the FNAF wiki, it has a custom cursor.) The cursor could simply be a wand, and if you want to be more creative you could make the wand glow on links. Well, that was my idea.

TheElementalPhoenix (talk) 04:28, January 8, 2015 (UTC)TheElementalPhoenix

If this idea is taken up, it should be done in such a way that users can opt out of it. I remember, several years back, being on a site which had a custom Hallowe'en cursor, and many users (including me) found it annoying; then it turned out that the cursor (provided by Comet Cursor) was spyware. — RobertATfm (talk) 18:02, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Ceiling fan vandal

Please block User:Mike D. Rosoft and delete the ceiling fan from all images that he had vandalized. (The user is also an impersonator of me.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 15:33, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

The vandalized files include:

And the user is at it again: User:NeilN90. (Could somebody protect the four images?) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 13:16, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

Gryffindor Edits

Hello.

I made some edits to the Gryffindor page, and due to the fact I'm new here, I did not follow the appropriate decorum and post here first. (Or at least I think I'm supposed to post here first? I am not certain.)

I added a definition of chivalry to the "behind the scenes" section of Gryffindor, and I also added a few house traits as well.

I have tweaked them a few times since putting them up, added a few punctuation marks, changed a word or two so it seemed to fit and flow better. I find that after reviewing my writing later I oftentimes find things I missed the first time around. I also changed the existing "strong of will" trait to "strength of will" as I felt that was worded more correctly.

My apologies for not posting here first. Also, if my edits are not needed or unnecessary I apologize for that as well.

--RoseMidnight26138 (talk) 09:39, June 21, 2015 (UTC)RoseMidnight26138

Seriously, don't worry. This is a wiki, after all, the point being that anybody can edit. If there's a problem with your edits, somebody will spot it and point it out (politely, right, folks! ;-) or maybe even simply fix it themselves, but you can pick it up as gradually as necessary. —Phil | Talk 13:13, June 22, 2015 (UTC)

Cascade Protection

Why is cascading protection being used on this page? This is causing the protection of templates that don't need to be protected in this manner, such as {{-}}, which makes it difficult for people to edit. Could the cascading protection be lifted? --Sa ju uk 12:49, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

The question arises of why you would want to edit {{-}}…do you have another example of something you cannot do because of the cascading protection? FYI {{-}} is itself protected so you wouldn't be able to edit it anyway! HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:49, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

Cascading protection should pretty much never be used, there is almost no instance of a reason to use that feature, because it protects other pages unintentionally.

And yes, I already know it's protected by itself, but cascading protection is always a bad idea due to the ease of being able to lock down pages by mistake, simply because they're transcluded onto the main page. I am simply requesting the cascading protection be removed, so that other templates aren't being protected needlessly. --Sa ju uk 18:25, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

New canon information from J. Rowling

Please where is a complete list of all canon information released by J.Rowling since the last of her 7 books came out? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:40, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

-:You have it the wrong way around. The original British title (hence the title throughout nearly all the English-speaking world, including Canada from what I've heard) is "Philosopher's Stone", because that's how one of the two main goals of alchemy has always traditionally been known, which in turn is because up to and including Isaac Newton's time what we now call "science" and what we now call "the occult" were lumped together under the heading of "philosophy" (literally "love of wisdom"; nowadays "philosophy" refers to metaphysical rather than practical pursuits); but Scholastic felt that this wouldn't be understood by the Americans which make up its market, so they insisted on the change to "Sorceror's" (or "Sorcerer's", I'm not sure which is the correct spelling) for that market. — [[User:RobertATfm|RobertATfm]] ([[User_talk:RobertATfm|talk]]) 14:23, June 17, 2014 (UTC)

-== Dates ==
+==Take some pride==
-I believe that all the dates used in this wikia are one year late. I beleve this because the way to find the dates in The Harry Potter Series are based upon the year that James and Lilly Potter died. To find the date you add however old Harry is to the date they died and you have the date. When actually Harry was 1 year old at the time of his parents' deaths, so you must subtract one year from the date. I have evidence in the article on [[Sybill Trelawney]] in the "Behind the scenes" section: it states that, "Trelawney told Lavender Brown that the worst thing for her will come true on Friday, October 16th . However, October 16th, 1993 was a Saturday,"; but on October 16th, 1992 is, however, a Friday. I rest my case.

-:Actually, the dates are based upon [[Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington]]'s 500th Deathday party in the second book. As Nick is stated to have died on October 31, 1492, that sets the time of [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]] as the 1992-1993 school year.

-==Changes==
-Are you making some changes to the wiki? {{Unsigned|219.89.129.62}}
-== A Very Potter Musical/Sequel ==
-You may or may not know what that is. For those of you who don't, the short version is that it's a parody of Harry Potter, a musical, run by a group that calls themselves Team Starkid.
-So, I noticed there was a page for Potter Puppet Pals, and I was wondering if it would be okay to make a page for A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel.

-Hello, I am Tucayo, new member of the place. I wanted to ask, by mere curiosity, what does this wiki's admins think about the new Wikia skin? [[User:TheRealTucayo|TheRealTucayo]] 02:55, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
-== Hermione ==
-Wasn't Hermione already a featured article before? {{Unsigned|Mochlum}}
-:Yes. The Wikia Entertainment staff made some temporary changes to our Main Page for the duration of the [[Wizarding World Giveaway]] contest. Once the contest is over, we'll resume our regular Featured content. - [[User:Nick O'Demus|<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus</font>]] 07:30, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
-== The Triwizard Tournament ==
-As you know, Alastor Moody (Barty Crouch Jr.) tried to get Harry to the triwazard cup first, as it was a portkey leading to the Dark Lord. Throughout the book and movie, Igor Karkaroff is trying to get Viktor Krum to win the tournament. But wouldn't Igor know, as a Death Eater that Harry was supposed to finish first?

-:See [http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2007/0730-bloomsbury-chat.html/ this JK Rowling interview], in which she says: "''No, ''[Narcissa]'' never had the Dark Mark and was never a fully paid-up member.

-== Harry Potter! ==
-this may be off topic but I personalyy can't wait for July 15!!!!!! Anybody feel the same way? If so, join the conversation. Thanxs!
-== Trailer? ==
-I added the trailer to the site. I don't know if I wasn't supposed to, but it is from the Warner Bros. "Youtube" channel.
-I always love harry potter  it is my favorite movies of all it is the best movies   you should watch it
-== Suggested category ==
-I've used this wiki casually for some time. When I looked at the "Dennis Creevy" and "Peeves" articles today I wondered why there wasn't such a category as "Category:Characters_cut_from_the_movies" or something like that. I think it'd be helpful / interesting for all readers if it was created.
-Please note that I don't use this wiki a lot, the only Wiki I know its whole history is Ice Age Wiki. I dunno if this category actually existed before and was removed so in either case, I'd be glad if someone pointed out it was removed or never existed and approves of its creation. --'''[[User:TeshiKennedy117|TeshiKennedy]]''' ([[User talk:TeshiKennedy117|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/TeshiKennedy117|contributions]]) 18:30, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
-== New logo for Wiki? ==
-Here it is. Might need size adjustment.[[File:New_harry_potter_wiki_logo.png|thumb|300px|Here's a newer Harry potter wiki logo.]]
-== Wizarding Population ==
-If I were to guess on the wizarding population I would guess about 100 million or more, this is based on the information given on the Europe Potter Wiki page where it states that there are atleast 100.000 wizards and witches in Europe and 730.000.000 Muggles. The Wizard population in this area being 0.014% of it's muggle counter I felt it right to assume that the total Wizard population be the same .. so 0.014 x 6 775 235 700 = 94 853 299.8 [[User:Jackdd111|Jackdd111]] 19:48, September 2, 2011 (UTC)Jackdd111
-== Minerva McGonagall ==
-Minerva McGonagall was born in 1925 (which we can conclude through JK saying she was 70 during 1995... 1995-70= 1925 and through the information that she and Tom went to school together and Tom was born in 1926, also the page states she was a year older than him, which is true but that means that she wasn't born in 1935 does it?) That means the biographical information is wrong and such so someone needs to change it. I already changed the part in the paragraph form twice because someone changed it back after the first time, but it's pretty annoying when information is contradictory and then false because people see them and automatically change what is stated as true elsewhere...
-== Wiki Battle ==
-For some reason the Harry potter wiki is turning into an editing battle. Who ever is is incharge of the harry potter wiki should stop because i am finding it very annoying. [[Special:Contributions/86.30.202.147|86.30.202.147]] 18:12, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

-== Crosses in age brackets ==
-I thought the whole point of the "Died" parameter was to show that we know what month, day and/or year a character died. And if we know his/her age, put the age in brackets. For some reason, [[Phineas Nigellus Black| as seen here]], there is a cross in the bracket. Can someone please clarify that for me? Did I miss something? --[[User:KiumaruHamachi|KiumaruHamachi]] 21:39, December 27, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
-== Add the Pottermore Wiki! ==
-Could whoever's in charge of the home page add the [http://pottermore.wikia.com/wiki/Pottermore_Wiki Pottermore Wiki] to the list of Other Wikia under community links?

-Hey guys, there seems to be a referencing error on the Main Page. I looked at the page source but sadly could not find the source of the error. It may be also be coming from the transcluded templates being used on the Main Page. Anyways, just was passing by and thought you should know this. On another note, I must say you guys have a terrific Main Page.--[[w:c:Halo:User:Spartacus0898|<span style="color:#390">'''Spartacus'''</span>]] <sup>'''[ [[w:c:Halo:User talk:Spartacus0898|<span style="color:#F00">Talk</span>]] • [[w:c:Community:User:Spartacus0898|<span style="color:#F00">Central</span>]] ]'''</sup>  16:25, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
-:That comes from the "On This Day" section. Anytime the dates listed are referenced in the original date article, the reference is carried over to the current date template.

-== New page layout ==
-What do people think of the new look? I personally find the fact that the only search option is at the top, above the adds disturbing, and the need to specify whether or not the searcher wishes to search only this wiki annoying at best, and very dissapointing at worst. I'm all for fixing things that are broken, and for changing things up now and again, but this feels like the opposite of improving the user interface, and I for one greatly dislike it.
