Wikkii Migration

This page details information about our move to ac.wikkii.net in October of 2010. For the year previous we were hosted by Wikia.com. Please feel free to edit this page to add information you think would be widely useful. For specific questions or issues please use the Talk Page.
Reason for the Move
Over the years we have moved hosting of the wiki a couple of times, each time because we had outgrown our host's ability to handle our usage. This time our move was for quite different reasons and had to do with Wikia's decision to seriously overhaul their default skin (which controls how the wiki is laid out and its appearance). Wikia also decided to make the skin mandatory and the major contributors to the wiki decided unanimously that the changes were fundamentally incompatible with the nature of our particular wiki. Wikia was always a gracious and helpful host and we wish them well in the new direction they have decided to take their site, and regret that we cannot accompany them.

User Names
I can't log in
User accounts have not been copied over from Wikia.
You will have to create a new account with the same name. All your contribution history is already here, you just need to create the account (email address is optional but recommended so you can recover your password and receive email from other users).
My username already exists
If someone else has used your username, and you would like to reclaim it, please follow these instructions:
- Log in to Wikia and send an email to Tlosk.
- Indicate that your name has been taken and you would like to reclaim it.
I don't like my username
Because Wikia had over 2 million users, many names were not available for use. We have already reverted names that had been changed to ASHERON-Name back to their original name. If you would like to use a different name than you were using on Wikia, register both your Wikia name and your new name here, then leave two posts here (one from each account) requesting that your contribution histories be merged (making clear which name you want to be your final name).
