Any other information:

Since the wiki has been abandoned by its creator, the wiki is in a precarious position with anonymous editors and vandals. There is an active discussion tab on the wiki, but only a few regular editors. I've discussed my attempt to adopt the wiki with the community here, asking them what I could bring to the wiki and if they approved of the proposition.

The Candidates for Deletion category has grown to 29 pages, more than a tenth of the wiki's total page count. It's become so desperate that people have attempted to start admin elections on the wiki, as mentioned here and here.

While I understand that there are active editors on the wiki, making in ineligible for adoption by some measures, we really need someone to adopt the wiki, else it decays any further. I'd hope to adopt the wiki myself to work on delete redundant/wasteful pages, streamline the format of pages, and build on what has already been established through months of work from countless helpful members of the Westbound community.

I often receive the same response from the adoption team regarding this wiki, but I do hope that someone is able to adopt the wiki and bring it back into presentable shape.


 * Hi there! Thanks for your interest in adoption.


 * Examining the wiki, it's pretty clear that here are several other active users over there, so the wiki is not adoptable, by our guidelines.


 * You'll need community consent, which happens by creating a conversation somewhere on the wiki and inviting everyone who's edited in the last 6-8 weeks to participate in it.  To be fair to these editors, you'll need to actually go around to their message walls or talk pages, give them a link to the discussion and personally invite them to attend the conversations.


 * In this discussion, You should think of yourself as applying for a job, where you say, "I'd really like to become the admin of the wiki, and here's why." Then you say what, specifically, you want to do and invite people to comment. The notion is that you're building a conversation. That's why it's important to personally invite recent editors.


 * After over a week has passed — and provided no one has objected — you can come back here and start a brand new request, called ‘’’ (2)’’’, linking to this discussion.  Then we can properly evaluate the situation and go from there. Oh, and make sure that you keep editing throughout, so that you don't otherwise lose your eligibility!


 * Best of luck!
