Forum:AR:Adoption request for Haven and Hearth Wiki

Forums: Index &rarr; Adoption requests &rarr;

What is your username? Fuebar

Please link to the wiki here: http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/

How many edits have you made on that wiki? Two.

How many days/months have you been editing there? An hour or so, by now.

On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? 09:08, September 15, 2010 by Darkrenn

Any other information:

Yes, I've only made two edits, and have only been registered for an hour or so, but I only made this account with the intention of redirecting all users of the Haven and Hearth Wikia to the better-maintained RingofBrodgar wiki, http://www.ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Main_Page

I'm not entirely sure on this, but I believe that the RingofBrodgar wiki might actually be a part of the Wikia community. Certain links redirect to the main Wikia page, on pages created by the 'Default' user. The wiki is run on MediaWiki and SemanticWiki. Almost all pages on this wiki have been copy-pasted from RingofBrodgar. Is it possible to have the HavenandHearth wiki simply redirect to RingofBrodgar? That's assuming it's part of the Wikia Community at all, which I would be surprised to learn of. Either way, this is my petition to be made administrator of the HavenandHearth wiki. Merging the communities of the two and preventing misleading information from the poorly-run Wikia community would be in the benefit of both groups.

 * Hi. RingofBrodgar is not a part of Wikia.  It is in fact a forked wiki; basically a user exported the Wikia wiki and imported it on the external site around January 11-12th 2011. You can easily see that the two wikis were originally one by comparing file histories (on, for eg, Category:Containers, or the main page itself) which match exactly prior to that date and checking the import log on the two wikis shows that the import happened on the non-wikia site.


 * It is not possible to have a Wikia wiki redirect to an external wiki.


 * Furthermore, we do not allow people to constantly redirect new users of wikis to external sites; that is, effectively, spamming, and against our Terms of Use. So please do not do so.


 * I am closing this request as your interest in this wiki appears to center on redirecting it. -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:46, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
