Q: "I'm new, what can I do to help?"

A: We have a to-do list at our Community Portal that list some of the things we are currently working on. You can also view a list of wanted pages here or view articles that need expanded here.

Q: "How do I create new pages?"

A: First of all make sure the page doesn't already exist under another name. If it doesn't exist then the easiest way would be to type the title into the search bar. It will tell you that there is no page with this title and you can click on create this page.

Q: "How do I create a redirect?"

A: Create a new page with the title that you are trying to redirect. On the new page type #REDIRECT [[Target Page]].

Q: "How do you upload an image of transformice into your article?"

A: You can upload your file here or click on Upload file in the toolbox on the left. Then type [[File:Filename.png]] to add it on the page. You can also add in some more information to that

A picture of a mouse

I did this by typing [[File:Mouserone.png|thumb|100px|right|A picture of a mouse]]{{clear}} notice how everything is separated with a vertical bar | 100px is size, right aligns it right you can also use center and left, the text is a caption. {{clear}} forces all text below your image. You don't always need that. Try it with and without and see what looks best. --Mouserone 04:38, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Q: "Should we have a list of hackers? Because on the playermade levels, I keep on seeing stuff like the sticky ball, Heavy ball, and bait." -The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.121.75.237 (talk). 21:32, 26 August 2010

A: As explained on this page, those levels aren't actually hacked so much as "exploited". As it is, the creators of the game have expressed no displeasure in levels using these hidden objects. Regardless, having a list of "known hackers" on a site like this is just asking for trouble. While you're more than welcome to keep a personal list, but there will never be a public list of hacker usernames on this site. Jessica U. Ingmann (Feedback/Edits) 22:21, 26 August 2010

Q:"How do i get a picture of my mice in here?" The preceding comment was unsigned

A:First, make a screenshot of your mouse. Then edit it in paint and save the image of your mouse. Now you can upload it, as described in a previous question. - Cirkel 28-12-2010

Q:"I am trying to upload screen shots of different totems but I got this error: "Error creating thumbnail: sh: /usr/bin/convert: Permission denied". How do I fix this?" - Sum 23:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

A:Unfortunately, this is not something that I have the power to fix, this is a web-hosting issue. Hopefully this will be resolved in the near future. --Spindle 01:53, 27 February 2011 (EST)

Q:"How can I publish my record in map29??? I made a record that would take the 4th place and i dont know how to publish it."

A:Please read Help:Speed records. If you are still unsure or need help, visit the Discussion page. --Spindle 01:53, 27 February 2011 (EST)

Q:"Could there be a list of the codes to all the original maps for the map editor?"

A: Producing codes for the original maps will mean figuring out the approximate placement of the map objects. Perhaps in the future we will have these for all maps. --Spindle 01:53, 27 February 2011 (EST)

Q: What are the available templates to which we can use? --Bareno 02:02, 12 April 2011 (EDT)

A: Depends on what you want to do. Most of the templates can be found in the Template Category and sub-categories, or by doing a search for "Template:".

Q: "How do I Unignore people?"

A: There is no command to do that as of right now but if you disconnect and then reconnect to the server (just refresh) it does not save who you have ignored. --Mouserone 04:38, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Q: Why is the USA dating system used? When: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_by_country Really? And why is it only the USA flag hat that was made a purchasable item? Seems awful nationalistic.

A: We cannot answer this question, because we aren't game developers. Demonical Monk 22:31, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Q: How can you find out who the regulars are in rooms?

A: Play in the room for a bit, get to know the players. You'll notice many recurring players stay in the same room. You can always ask! --Spindle 01:53, 27 February 2011 (EST)

Q: Can I get my account unbanned? It was perma banned.

A: It is possible to have an account unbanned, but it's not guaranteed. You'll have to message the moderator who banned you, or another moderator either in game or on the [forum.transformice.com Transformice forums]. --Spindle 01:53, 27 February 2011 (EST)

Virtually, no. I think only about 2 or 3 total permanently banned's ever got unbanned, but it was through very extensive ways, such as bribing, tricking them into unbanning, etc. Cool12309^(T|C) 19:39, 20 May 2011 (EDT)

I forgot the email to change my password. What do I do? 07:79, 23 July 2011

If you forgot your email for the wiki, you have to try to contact the site admin User:Mpcovcd. On the other hand if you forgot your Transformice email, you have to contact their admins: look here[1] or here[2], or whisper in game /c cfmbot modlist to find out online mods.

When I signed up, I gave no email address. Now, I want to add an email to this account. How do I do that? Also, does adding an email get rid of the CAPTCHAs that appear on every edit? Gotol 00:33, 30 July 2011 (CDT)

Can I add a humorous page? Something not to be taken seriously? Pweeeeasee??? Cjquines 03:50, 10 November 2011 (CST)
