Hi there Bettydude100,

Just as an addon to Sarah's answer. As a founder of a wiki you have several options/features available to you that will allow you to promote your wiki and help build an active user base. Just remember, the key to a wiki's success is patience and tolerance!


 * Special:Promote will advertise your wiki on the Wikia hub along with other wikis.
 * You can request help from editors on this promotion page.
 * You can improve your wiki's SEO rating which will help readers and editors find your wiki on websites like Google or Bing.
 * When your wiki hits the requirements you can request help from wiki development service which improve the wiki appearance and help attract readers/editors.
 * And finally, once your wiki is big enough and you feel people will be interested, you can request a Spotlight. Spotlights are not a guarantee, so don't have high expectations that it will be selected.

Running a wiki is hard work and takes a lot of dedication. If you are truly dedicated to making your wiki successful, then it will happen - it just takes time. So patience is virtue. Just keep working hard at it and your work will soon be paid off.

Hope this helps :)
