Any other information: I've actually had my eye on this Wiki for a few months, but it wasn't until I noticed the huge amount of problems with it did I finally decide to write an adoption request.

It may not seem that bad at first, but once you dig deep into the Wiki, you'll notice an overwhelming amount of issues.

First of all, this Wiki has suffered from intense vandalism, and there are no admins around to delete the pages or block the users. This Wiki needs admin assistance ASAP, as some of these pages have been around for quite a while.

Some examples include:
 * this
 * this
 * this
 * and this

And those are only a few examples. You'll find more if you check all the pages.

I have noticed that a couple users seemed to have planned to adopt this Wiki in the past, but they never did in the end. One of those users actually removed the content from those redundant and unnecessary pages, so all that needs to be done is for them to be deleted.

Another (and the most obvious) problem is that the design is messy and all over the place. The background image is so transparent that reading the text is an eyesore, and sometimes even near impossible without highlighting the text you want to read. The blue links also somewhat blend into the blue color of the Wiki, which isn't pleasant to look at. A Wiki's main purpose is for information, and that purpose is kind of ruined when you can't even read the information given.

The colors also contrast a bit too much. The Wiki shifts from a more golden-ish color due to the background, to blue and then purple. The Wiki needs a more consistent color scheme, as well as a better-quality background image. I've already worked on a new test design for the Wiki, giving the Wiki a more black and blue appearance. I've also worked on giving the Wiki a new logo, as well as a custom cursor that isn't final yet.

Here's a screenshot of the current test design.

For the information, I've noticed that all of the episode page summaries have been copied from Wikipedia, so they need to be rewritten. In fact, all of the pages need to be rewritten in some way.

The character pages also have redundant tabbers with very little information that could be changed/removed.

The navigation bar is a bit of a mess as well. There's two tabs named "Series" and "Franchise", which are pretty much the same thing. Having two of the same thing is unnecessary, so one of those tabs could be removed.

I've made a soundtrack page for the series, and I plan on making a page for the light novels since that hasn't been made yet even though it's on the nav bar. I also plan on making gallery pages for the characters and episodes, as well as adding quotes and any other information that I can think of.

I know I haven't edited there for a week or have that many edits, but my edit count will grow, and I will have edited for a week by the time Staff reviews this. I may have waited a bit longer before writing an adoption request if the Wiki wasn't in such bad shape. Hopefully you can understand why this Wiki really needs an active admin ASAP.

Since the Wiki seems to be viewed regularly, I made a blog asking for any other user's opinions, which can be viewed here.

Thanks.


 * Hello. Thanks for starting the blog - your contributions also look good. I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights.  Good luck cleaning up the wiki! -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:26, March 16, 2017 (UTC)
