If you are a Bureaucrat, which Founders are unless stripped of the right by staff or themselves, then you may promote your successor to at least Bureaucrat. Often Admin too, but they can do that themselves if they wish.

Optionally you may then remove your own Bureaucrat status. *I* recommend you don't do that. At least not for a period of time, allowing for a "probation" to ensure the successor handles things correctly. You can always strip yourself of the Rights later. Like 6 months or so down the line. If you are not leaving Wikia completely, considering how hard it is to strip a bad choice of Bureaucrat Rights, only Staff can do that, you may want to consider only making them an Admin, if they are not already, for the probationary period before making them a 'crat.

Sannse will likely add that if there is an active community on that wiki, their opinion could/should be sought about who their new administration should be, especially if the successor is not already an Admin, and that it should be done by means of a Blog or Forum with at least 7 days to provide all the opportunity to comment, if they will.

Personal: What is the wiki? It sounds like you have a successor in mind, but if not, I may be open to volunteering my services.
