How many edits have you made on that wiki? 54

How many days/months have you been editing there? Two days. However, I am the site admin for a different wiki of the very same topic, and I've been active there for 1+ year, having made over 5k edits in that time, with an addition 20k made by my bot whose task was to transfer, upload, and translate content.

Given my relative familiarity with Mediawiki, I've been brought on board by the sole active member, 車魔射手, of the (Traditional Chinese) Guildwars Wiki that I'm requesting to adopt.

The following motivates my application for adoption:

The "Edit" button on this wiki will not produce the Visual Editor and will cause the wiki to hang each time that that button is pressed. We've identified a javascript file as the source of the problem (see: http://zh-tw.guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:TemplateTools.js, where "debugDiv.style.display" will attempt to access a null value which, when accessed, will cause the webpage to fail). We need to change that piece of code to remove the error.

Unfortunately, 車魔射手 has indicated that he cannot alter .js files despite being sysop. Furthermore, he is unable to change my privileges through the page: http://zh-tw.guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A:%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A%E9%A0%81%E9%9D%A2.

The current site owner of this wiki is "PanSola", and we've noted our dilemma on his talk page. However, given that he's been away for the past 9 years and that he returned last month only to marvel at the continued existence of this wiki, we doubt very much that our message will ever reach him within a reasonable timeframe.

Therefore, I'm requesting to adopt the wiki, but it would also be sufficient to grant me just enough privileges to alter our site javascript. Some changes would be required since I would also need access to the css files to update the appearance of the wiki.

Thank you.

Response to Unofficial Response
Would staff from the Chinese community require any action from the staff here to complete the transfer of ownership?

 * No, Chinese staff should have the global rights needed to promote you. You can post on c:zh.community:领养维基申請頁面 but you can also wait for English staff to see this request. Maybe they will do it after all. Henstepl (talk) 09:53, September 1, 2018 (UTC)


 * Endercat was correct - the request should be made on the chinese-language requests page; however if there is any problem with that then please leave me a message on my wall or send a message to Special:Contact to let us know. -- Wendy (talk ) 17:31, September 1, 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok I will make a separate request there and apply here again if necessary. -- Editsgame (talk) 20:40, September 1, 2018 (UTC)

Each community has their own required staff, and staff all throughout the wikis have the same amount of power. You shouldn’t have to worry about them giving you rights. It just depends how much you contributed etc. I suggest making sure you added pages, started clean up etc. Make sure the admin/bureaucrat has been inactive for 60 days and over. If not, try and contact them to see. Hope it works out for you!
