Please link to the wiki here: [//xwing-miniatures.wikia.com/wiki/X-Wing_Miniatures_Wiki http://xwing-miniatures.wikia.com/wiki/X-Wing_Miniatures_Wiki]

'''How many edits have you made on that wiki? '''67+

'''How many days/months have you been editing there? '''First edits a full year ago. Then came back to it recently.

'''On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? '''EmpireStrategy (the founder) last contributed in September of 2013.

Any other information: The information in the wiki is mostly complete. I mainly want admin rights so I can add links to the navigation, which hasn't been updated with any of the (very many) new releases since September 2013.

As I look more closely at the wiki, a lot of the sections could use a serious overhaul to bring the content up to date with the current state of the game.

I posted a comment about the adoption request here: [//xwing-miniatures.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:X-Wing_Miniatures_Wiki http://xwing-miniatures.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:X-Wing_Miniatures_Wiki]

Hello - there appears to be several other contributors at this wiki. According to the adoption guidelines, it is required that the adopting user make a blog/forum post/announcement of some sort explaining their intentions to adopt on an active wiki, so other users on the wiki can give their input, and comment. Be sure to link it when you are done, and let it run for 1 week. If there is a consensus amongst the users for you to receive the rights, then you'll be eligible to adopt. Also, in order to adopt the wiki, you will need to edit there regularly, every day or two for at least a week. Try to edit from now on, and by the time this request is viewed by Staff, you should meet the requirement.


 * Hello. Your contributions look good, and thanks for the link to the discussion on the wall. However, you have really only edited on about 3 days, instead of the week needed to qualify for an adoption. Please continue editing on the wikia for a few more days and then leave me a message on my wall to check back again. -- Wendy (talk ) 03:34, March 20, 2015 (UTC)

Update: Request to change ownership

Hi, I'm Wazat, the only admin left on the wiki who is active. I'd like to transfer ownership to myself since the owner of the wiki doesn't visit anymore, and we can't seem to contact him. (I couldn't make another adoption request so I'm editing this one, even though it's from 4 years ago). Once I gain ownership, I can declare other good contributors to be admins (if anyone is interested), and even pass the mantle when it's time for me to leave.

Most people (including me) have moved to the Second Edition Wiki, but we want to keep first edition around for people who are still playing it and for anyone in 2E who is interested in how the game has changed. I'm happy to remain admin just so we have someone available to answer questions, fight vandalism, etc, and eventually we'll want to add other admins. I don't have the ability to do that at this time because the only person with those powers hasn't been around in years.

I want to note, this is a special request because we haven't been updating the wiki much lately, and that's an oddity for your rules. I answer questions almost as soon as they're asked, but first edition isn't changing much so I haven't been editing it often. Instead all that effort goes into the 2nd edition wiki, which I and others contribute to pretty well (though questions have been slow lately). I could do some edits every day for a week just to meet the requirement, but I'm already the most active person there in terms of answering questions etc.

Let me know!
