'''On the wiki you wish to adopt, please go to Special:ListAdmins. Then, list here the last time an admin edited and who it was.''' CBeebies_Productions, never logged a single edit since the site was created in July 2019. (squatting maybe?)

Any other information:
 * I am the primary contributor to the Macromedia Wiki and would like to adopt it to get access to analytics to focus on what visitors are looking for. Additional access for filename corrections and theme improvements would be appreciated too. It took a while to find the founding bureaucrat because the account would not show up by default on w:c:macromedia:Special:ListAdmins because no edits were ever logged by the user since the site URL was registered on July 8, 2019. I've worked on trying to improve traffic, so I hope it's not deleted.
 * I received a surprise admin appointment at the Photoshop Wiki on May 11, 2020 after making a request back in 2019, so I waited the required 90 days.
 * I received an unsolicited bureaucrat promotion at the Apple Wiki on June 14, 2020, but hopefully that doesn't count as I was already the active administrator there. I've since requested others to refrain from giving me additional admin appointments so I don't spread myself thin.

 * As I've already noted on your Message Wall, any additional rights you've gained on a wiki in the last 90 days prevent further rights on a new wiki until those 90 days have expired. This isn't to be mean or arbitrary. It's to ensure that you think about what's the best use of your time.


 * In this case, it's particularly important, since you're essentially wanting to resurrect information about a company that hasn't independently existed since around 2005 — and in a way that might not meet the expectations of your readers.


 * Of course, you can self-demote on Apple Wiki, reject the unexpected promotion, and then resubmit this request. But you might want to consider which is better for your time: being a bureaucrat on the larger and more vibrant Apple and Adobe wikis, or pursuing a wiki about a long-dead brand.


 * You'll also definitely want to consider whether you think, as a leader of the Adobe community, pushing this info out onto its own, largely dead, wiki is better than trying to expand the scope of the Adobe Wiki. Since that would be tantamount to a merger — indeed, in such a case, we'd want to make macromedia.fandom.com redirect to adobe.fandom.com — you wouldn't need to adopt anything. Instead, that would be taken care of by sending in a note to our Customer Support team at https://fandom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Then you'd Special:Export the pages from Macromedia and Special:Import them to Adobe.


 * Integrating the Macromedia info on the Adobe wiki might well make further sense, since https://macromedia.com redirects to https://adobe.com these days. Thus, the wikis could emulate the real life, modern behaviour of the company itself — something your readers might well expect. And your articles about each product could be on a single page that would take them from the old Macromedia days right up to the modern Creative Cloud platform.
