How many edits have you made on that wiki? 7,271 (at the time of form submission)

How many days/months have you been editing there? Since September 1, 2019

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? I can't find anything. When I go to the User List on Special Pages, the program says it's loading, but it never displays any results.

Any other information: Seven business days ago (6/29/20) I submitted an adoption request to be administrator for the TV series Caprica. I've been updating that one since summer of 2017. It was my first wiki to update and I learned a lot (self taught). It was abandoned not long after the series was cancelled in 2011. Much later I learned that what I did was called "adopting" a wiki. Later after that, I learned I could be an administrator. I've made thousands of edits to both Caprica and Bewitched for a long time.

In my Caprica adoption request I asked if I could be made an administrator for Bewitched as well, and at the same time. There's been sustained spam and vandalism lately on the Bewitched wiki and I'm doing my best to clean it up. It's hard to keep up. I cannot delete spam pages. I've asked the VSTF twice for help with that. The first time DeXart removed it (6/19/20) and blocked the user for 2 weeks. Now there's spam and vandalism again and I have another request to DeXart to help, but I haven't heard back yet. There's so much vandalism and spam that, unless I can get admin privileges, I'm thinking about giving up and abandoning it. I haven't decided yet. It's a difficult decision because I've put a lot of work into adding pages and files. I have added over 260 cast bios alone.

I've read there has to be 90 days between admin requests. I wonder if an exception can be made in my case since I've edited both of them for so long.

In the Caprica request I said if I can only be administrator for one right now, I pick Caprica, because I've invested far more time and effort into it. Yet, there's very little traffic on it and no spam in over a year.

I did similar work in my career (I'm retired now). I did records management. My top priority was keeping records as current as possible with the best and most thorough information. I strive for the highest professionalism in my work on these wikis.
