I've got some tips for you here:
I've got some tips for you here:
* '''Main Page protection''' – Wikia has a general policy of not protecting the Main Page unless it is the target of recurring heavy vandalism. For more info, check out [[w:c:help:help:Main page|Help:Main page]] on [[w:c:help|Wikia Help]].
* '''Main Page protection''' – Wikia has a general policy of not protecting the Main Page unless it is the target of recurring heavy vandalism. For more info, check out Help:Main page on Wikia Help.
* '''Main Page title''' – You will notice that the Main Page of your wiki (the page that appears when you click on your wiki's logo) will be "<subject> Wiki". This is to improve your wiki's Google rank, so it is recommended that you do not change the name of that page. For more info, check out [[w:c:help:Advice:Raising your wiki's Google ranking|Advice:Raising your wiki's Google ranking]] at [[w:c:help|Wikia Help]].

* '''Logo''' - If you need help making logos for your wiki, you can ask for help [[w:Forum:Logo creation campaign|at this forum thread]]. For the [[w:c:help:Help:Skins|Monaco]] and [[w:c:help:Help:Skins|Monobook skin]] you can upload a 135 x 155 pixels image to [[:Image:Wiki.png]].

* '''[[User:Craiga2124|Your user page]]''' – Use your [[Help:User page|user page]] to introduce yourself to other new visitors, so the wiki has a more personal feeling to it and luring visitors to stay and become involved. People without a userpage do not get listed in the "[[Special:Top/community|Featured users]]" listing no matter how active they are, so make sure you add something to your user page to appear in there!

* '''Wikia Gaming IRC''' – There is a Wikia gaming IRC channel, #wikia-gaming, where you can hop on, ask for help from users of other gaming wikis, or offer your own experiences. You can access it from http://irc.wikia.com/gaming, or connect to it by your own client at irc://irc.freenode.net/wikia-gaming. Different people may be on sporadically, though you're free to ask them for any help.
