 * Hi. Unfortunately, this wiki isn't eligible for adoption quite yet, as there were admins active as recently as April 22nd. Feel free to re-open this request after June 22nd, provided the admins don't edit again before then. You're welcome to report any vandalism to the Spam Task Force as well, and they can give you a hand. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:53, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Well I tried messaging the last remaining admin on the wiki and asking if he could make me admin, he said he was quitting and that I should try contacting you guys for adopting it. I messaged him back showing him the tutorial but I don't think he's going to be logging back in. I haven't tried speaking to the other admin who has logged on in the past year because his last log in was in August.

So yeah, here I am again. - Mattroks101 (talk) 18:49, October 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Since there has been an active administrator editing and a few active users, you would have to start a community discussion about appointing a new bureaucrat and nominate yourself. If there is a community agreement after 1 week, we can add rights at that time. Please leave links here to any discussion that takes place. Rappy 17:51, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * So I just go into the community portal and start a page on voting for new admins right? - Mattroks101 (talk) 17:55, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can start a blog (if enabled) or a forum post and encourage users to respond to it either by adding a link to the main page or user's talk pages. We don't want to promote someone with no rights straight to bureaucrat when there are already other active admins. Also, this gives users the choice as to who would be the best person to give the rights to. Rappy 17:58, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you Rappy, I understand. Unfortunately the main page is locked so spreading the forum post through user pages seems like it will be the only option. Here is the forum post http://abridgedseries.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:New_Admins
 * let's see what happens after a week. - Mattroks101 (talk) 20:06, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Well it has been a week. I started the forum post as requested, and I recieved 5 nominations by other users of the wiki for me to be admin. No one else besides me was nominated. - Mattroks101 (talk) 13:33, October 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for starting the forum. I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights. Good luck with the wiki! -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:56, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
