[edit] Menus

Hi -- you can change the menus by editing Mediawiki:Monaco-sidebar. I added the two categories you wanted so you can see how to do it. There's a slight delay between when you edit the page and when it appears in the sidebar. -- Wendy (talk) 01:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other Users

Unfortunately there's no surefire way to get other contributors. You can (and presumably, from what you wrote have) post about the wiki on forums and newsgroups for the show, and ask any websites you know if they would post a link. But the only thing that really seems to draw people is a lot of good content, which I know can be hard to keep creating on your own. Sorry I don't have a better answer! -- Wendy (talk) 01:01, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Work in Progress

Do you mean that the subject of the article hasn't been finished (eg. an upcoming DVD)? Or that you are in the middle of editing the article right now and thus don't want anyone else to edit it)? Or one that says simply that there is ongoing work on the article but people are welcome to help?? -- Wendy (talk) 14:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi -- Ok. You can type {{WIP}} to put This template onto pages. Is that ok? Or did you have something else in mind? -- Wendy (talk) 05:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Movie and Robber

Hi. I found a picture of the DVD cover and uploaded it but I wasn't sure where you wanted to put it. I have no idea who Robber is and there's no page for him/her.... so it's hard to find an image. -- Wendy (talk) 01:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

Hi. You already have a stub template, here. To use it type {{stub}} in the article. I also created a cleanup template for you -- to use it type {{cleanup}}. -- Wendy (talk) 19:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] favicon, categories, etc.

Hi -- I found an image for Club Otis, but I couldn't find one for the Justice Brood yet. I also made a favicon which should show up shortly.

For categories, you just add a tag, [[Category:Characters]] at the bottom of the page, and the pages go in that category. I added a tag to Cowman and Ratboy (episode) so you could see. If you add a new category [[Category:Justice Brood Members]], it will show up as a redlink. Click the link, and then edit the page like a normal article -- either enter some text, or another category tag or both -- and then save the page. Voila, a new category :).

Templates, are a bit more complicated to create, but fairly easy to use. What would you like a template for? -- Wendy (talk) 02:53, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tomorrow

Hi again. I just uploaded a new logo for you in the smaller format at Image:Wiki.png. Starting tomorrow there are going to be some changes to the Monaco skin layout, and it will use that image instead of the wider one I created before. I'm not sure when you'll see the change, but I wanted to have the image ready for you, and I hope it's ok. If you're curious, you can see the general layout (and many cute cats) at Community Test Wiki. You shouldn't have to worry about the change; if all goes well it'll happen auto-magically :). -- Wendy (talk) 02:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner; I was not online earlier today. To answer your question about the screencaps/recaps, I've never really seen Back at the Barnyard, so it would be very hard to write recaps. There are some short ones on wikipedia wikipedia:List_of_Back_at_the_Barnyard_Episodes that you can copy to get started if that helps. Similarly I don't know how to get screencaps; there seems to be relatively little imagery on the web for this show. If you know of somewhere that has images I'm happy to help you get them uploaded onto the wiki, but right now I don't know where to get them. Sorry I can't help more this time... -- Wendy (talk) 01:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Hi again. I uploaded some images. I'm sorry they aren't better quality, but I had trouble finding those characters. I hope they are better than nothing though! -- Wendy (talk) 00:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

I can certainly help you with a logo. Did you have any ideas for what you wanted it to look like? -- Wendy (talk) 21:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I couldn't find a shot with a lot of the characters that was horizontal enough to use (the logo is quite short and wide) so I used one of just Otis. What do you think? Instead I added a group shot to the front page. -- Wendy (talk) 01:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hi, I'm Wendy, a helper with wikia. You've made a good start adding content to this wiki, and setting up links to make more content (equally important). I added some simple category tags to your pages -- category structure helps keep things organized and easy to find on a wiki. If there's anything I can help you set up (a logo, infoboxes) or figure out, or if you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page -- I'm happy to help! -- Wendy (talk) 02:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome

You're welcome I'm pleased to help. Unlike most Nicktoons today, I think Back at the Barnyard is actually good. I'd like to see more people help us out though.

[edit] Hello There!

Hi Elbutler!

I'm Jonathan (a.k.a JewntansOath) and I go around to various new wikis and help out whereever I can, even if it's just reverting small bits of spam or welcoming new users. I am working on becoming a Wikia Helper for the Entertainment Hub and I guess I'll need all of the practice I can get. I just stopped by here to say hi and see if I could help out with anything. Just go ahead and drop me a line on my tak page or email me and I'll get back to you whenever I can.

Thanks,

--JewntansOath ^{My talk page / My contributions / Send me an email} 02:24, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me help out! I'll put it on my Wiki To Do List and I'll get to working on it. --JewntansOath ^{My talk page / My contributions / Send me an email} 04:22, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Spotlight Request

Hi -- It's good to see people adding content to Wikibarn! However while you have 99 articles, at least 10-15 of them are 1-2 sentence stubs (see Short Pages), and we need you to have 100 non-stub articles for a spotlight. Also, over half of them are uncategorized (you can see the list here). Please work on increasing the article lengths and categorizing your pages per the spotlight criteria. Let me know when you are done and I will be happy to add your wiki to the spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 18:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ...

Please delete the page AimanFurtwrangler(not my user page) because I've done a mistake. I'm terribly sorry.--AimanFurtwrangler 15:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Better Logo...

Don't you want a better logo than the current logo?--AimanFurtwrangler 15:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
