Hey guys! I'm an admin for the Drive Ahead wiki, and also its primary editor. (Y'all should check it out sometime!)

However, I'm not the creator. That's no big deal, really. The creator of the wiki wants nothing to do with it anymore, which is ok with me, but before they left last time, they promoted me and another guy to admin, which is great. The wiki has been functioning decently since then and has really started growing over the past few days as I've fully embraced my admin powers, and I'm slowly learning how to code more and more advanced things.

Now, as the wiki expands, we're having newer people come and help. I've had one user who's done almost as much work over the past few days as I have, and I really want to thank them for the huge content boost they've added to the Wiki. They've been on the Wiki for some time, so I know they're trustable, so I decided to promote them to admin. I read up the whole process on this same central Wiki, and tried it out. However, I ran into a problem which this same wiki talked about (I know, right?). As it turns out, if you're just an admin, you can't promote someone else to be an admin. You need to be a bureaucrat also. The problem is, our Wiki creator is the only bureaucrat.

I've already posted a message on his wall on our wiki and the other wiki he edits on, but the worrying thing is that he barely goes to either one. I'm afraid that the Wiki creator may have just quit Wikia.

So what do I do if the creator never responds? How do I achieve Bureacrat status to help our Wiki continue forward and to give other editors admin status to help out with the Wiki?

Any help would be awesome, thanks guys!
