Adoption:Undertale Wiki

Adoption requests →

Request: The Undertale forum needs administrators to deal with vandalism and promote a healthy community. The original founder, TechnicalIssues, has not made any changes and has not promoted anyone to bureaucrat or administrator, and has not been seen in a long, long time. Herein listed is a list of possible applicants for administrator/bureaucrat, as well as the usernames of the vandals in case they attempt to request admin privileges.

Candidates for Administration, shown to care about the community:

Velocity Chicken

BlitzerRyuusei

Cyrus Arc

and myself, among others.

The wiki simply needs some form of moderation, and if we had even one working bureaucrat, the community would have the help it needs. If not Chicken or myself, please consider the other two candidates. Thank you so much for your time!

Sincerely, MostlyCogent (Jennifer Ravasia) and all those on the Undertale Wiki

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it?

Velocity Chicken: The user "TechnicalIssues" made the wiki on June 13th, 2013, and has made no contributions since. There are no admins nor moderators other than this person, who seems to have made the blog, and then completely abandoned it.

Any other information:

Velocity Chicken: The wiki's somewhat active at this point, as the full version of Undertale was recently released. It's in dire neeed of moderation, as it's been subject to occasional vandalism, and whatnot. I've dicussed this with some other members of the wiki, and I know another user also applied to adopt the wiki, though she doesn't have as many credentials as I. Thank you for consitering my application.

MostlyCogent: Candidates for adminship that contribute often to the community include "Cyrus Arc" and "BlitzerRyuusei", both of whom reverted pages that were vandalized (along with other anonymous contributors).

The vandals' usernames were DoomGeek101 and Doomtoswag. They may submit requests for administrator privileges. The vandalism included several slurs and verbal abuse towards the reader.

While this is an isolated event, it shows the need for admins on the wiki- this event could have been cleared up much faster with the ability to ban individuals who vandalize the wiki.
