Hi JoePlay, was thinking when wikis are adopted the founder title is removed. Removing the bureaucrat rights to place them in the hands of the adopter is A-okay, but can the creator of the site keep the founder title?

It is a part of the wiki history and a unique feature, not to mention it's just nice seeing the account that created the wiki. Also the different things like "Content Moderator" is lovely to see.

Presumably founder assets are on par with admin rights which are good to keep. For example the Banana Fish wiki is currently a case of an admin adopting the bureaucrat title to make use of everything on the site now and for the future. That can go full steam ahead though ideally the founder would also return at any point later since they were adding good content. However if all the titles are gone they may think “nothing left for me here, later!” Yet if they keep the founder/admin rights it may encourage them to take part once more which is important, and always pleasant for them.

So yes can the founder of a wiki keep the “FOUNDER” title for it’s significance to the history of a wiki and may the label be reinstated to the founder of the Maiden Rose and the Yaoi wikis. Also henceforth can the founder tag not be removed when a site is adopted simply because its unique and nice to see?
