On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Former admin Providence-carrier made her last five edits on March 10, 2019, all consisting of talk and messaging. (Her last article edit was on January 12, 2019.)

Any other information: This wiki's title, TV Show Heroes, suggests that it was meant to cover articles about heroic figures from a wide spectrum of TV franchises (in other words, hundreds if not thousands of TV shows), using verified sources like officially-licensed books, official blogs, and news (in addition to the TV shows themselves). It was also meant to be a complement to the TV Show Villains Wiki, which covers articles about villainous figures from the same spectrum of TV franchises.

Unfortunately, the wiki's original founder (or perhaps its prior adopter, not sure about this), a well-known abusive user named GeneralGrievousHero4Life (owner of 110+ sockpuppet accounts, in clear violation of FANDOM's terms of use), and his sister, Providence-carrier (installed by him as administrator of the wiki), prevented the wiki's growth by keeping the number of TV shows covered by this wiki to a bare minimum of just a scant few TV shows (which, coincidentally, happened to be the two siblings' favorite shows); and even so, the facts about certain characters from one single franchise (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the dominant franchise in the wiki) were intentionally misstated (even widely-known villains were being added by the same two admin siblings to this wiki as heroes), effectively turning the wiki into a fanon wiki rather than a canon wiki.

If a new editor came in to add a hero character from a different TV show, or if an editor wanted to make factual corrections to an existing character on the wiki (and providing canonical source references to support the corrections), he/she was usually met with a full block (under the false assertion that the edits amounted to spam or vandalism and that the official sources supporting the edits were biased and thus not worth attention; and no provision was given for the blocked users to even contact the admin at her message wall).

These one-sided actions by the founder/&#x200b;adopter and his admin sister (especially the edit warring and the unjustified full user blocks) prevented the wiki in question from growing. And now that he is globally blocked from the FANDOM network (for sockpuppetry and for spilling out to other wikis like Fictional Characters Wiki and TV Show Villains Wiki to push false information on them; see these three archived/&#x200b;permalinked VSTF reports for reference: 1, 2, &amp; 3) and she was demoted from administratorship of this wiki (by reason of user rights abuse; see this discussion for details), there is no admin right now to run this wiki, restore order to it, delete spam content created there (that should have never been there in the first place), prevent future vandalism there (especially from long-term abusers), and most importantly, grow the wiki beyond just a few TV franchises.

I recently added to the wiki heroic characters from the Masters of the Universe franchise (more famous and more popular than many of the other fee TV series mentioned on the wiki) and plan to expand the wiki beyond just Star Wars stuff (after all, this is TV Show Heroes Wiki, not just Star Wars TV Show Heroes Wiki). Some other recent editors have also started to do their math by adding characters from other TV shows (especially the most popular and thus most recognizable ones, although any TV show is still welcome no matter how notorious or obscure it is, as long as its references are verifiable and/or official). Thus, why RRabbit42 and I are presenting this joint request to adopt this wiki (RRabbit42 has more experience on this wiki than I have and therefore I strongly consider him a valuable asset, thus why I bring him along here for co-adoption).

Thankee!
