Comments/Reasons for adoption: I looked up the https://thronerush.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Community page to see the admins, and although there are two admins defined as users, this page says that there are no admins on this wiki. I have been the only person editing this wiki for over a year. The wiki is horribly out of date because nobody has changed it as the game it is representing has updated without the wiki changing to accommodate those changes. I am trying to get the wiki to match the game and have been working with the support team of Nexters, the game developer, to get the data and images needed.

This is my second attempt to adopt this wiki. I don't really want to take this wiki away from anybody, I just need admin rights to be able to update certain portions that I don't have access rights to. Without an admin to request unlocking or an upgrade in privileges, I have no recourse to be able to edit these VERY out of date pages. I also can't add a world clock to one of our pages, using the JavaScript TZClock method because I don't have admin rights. I'd like to let people who play the game know when the daily reset is for their time zone. I'd like this wiki to be robust and up to date, but my hands are currently tied.

It is hard for me to edit pages every day for a week because I have a day job as a software architect for Oracle and I have a wife and three kids, plus a slew of other responsibilities. I can't be required to edit every single day for a week and the fact that I am the ONLY person editing the wiki, and have been making consistently high-value contributions to this wiki for the better part of a year should qualify me because NOBODY ELSE is editing the wiki and NOBODY ELSE is around to ask for privileges or help. I edit this wiki consistently and regularly. I just got a bunch of data from Nexters that I am using to update pages. I can't edit the Elf page because it is locked. I can't edit the drop down menu entries that need updating because it is locked for me.

People are still playing this game in the 100's of 1000's and this is the ONLY wiki to come to for information. It would be nice if the data was accurate so they would come to the site more.

This shouldn't be this hard. I need help.


 * Hey there! I'm sorry you feel the adoption process is hard or cumbersome. It's not our intent to make the process super bureaucratic or anything like that. The reason we have such specific guidelines, is to help weed out bad requests from those that are worthwhile. The role of admin is unfortunately often seen as a sort of "power" within the wiki rather than just an extra tool, which I believe is one factor that leads to us receiving many requests on a daily basis. To make sure we can trust the users making request and still address each request on a timely manner, is by checking things like quality of edits or a consistent activity.


 * That being said, some of the requirements are just guidelines - it's ideal for us if there's a full week of edits, but we also do understand that users have a life outside of the wiki and it may not be possible for it to be exactly the whole week. In cases such as yours, it's abundantly clear that you've put in a lot of work and have been there recently, and other requirements by the wiki are met, so it's no problem for me to grant you bureaucrat and admin rights there. Good luck with the wiki! ReverieCode 07:49, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
