Is your email address confirmed? If it is, you can directly email other users through Wikia, as long as their email is also confirmed.

Is it not confirmed? Go to your user preferences, make sure the email address is typed correctly, and click the link to send your confirmation email. Go to your main inbox, and click the link in the email from Wikia to confirm it.

In the old Wikia site layout called Monaco, changed to this one (Oasis) two years ago, there was a direct button for this. Now it's gone, but the function is still there. You can still email users by going to Special:EmailUser.

However, I made a template for easy access. Type  anywhere in your profile to add a quick and easy button for emailing the user. It also "secretly" adds the profile to the Email category, a list of all users with this button.

Let me know what you think. :)

Note: This isn't a massive wiki-changing thing, like, say, the forums. :P This is only for user profiles for easy private communication without directly asking them for their email address.
