Adoption requests →

What is your username? Golfer Mario

Please link to the wiki here: https://gang-beasts.wikia.com

How many edits have you made on that wiki? I have made 43 edits in total (plus other ones that I did on occasions where I forgot to log in into my account, therefore they count as A FANDOM USER's edits)

How many days/months have you been editing there? I have been editing pages on the Gang Beasts Wikia since July 21 of this year.

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? August 1 2015 (the only admin and creator of the Wiki has worked on content for the Wiki exclusively on the day he created it, all further edits have been made by other users)

Any other information: The main reason for why I'd like to apply as an administrator on the Gang Beasts Wikia is primarly because of a mix of low activity from the users and mostly really small and made up/incorrect information about the game (specifically on the vast majority of the information gave from the Wiki's creator, which has been inactive for a while). I have tried removing eventual unneeded pages (such as a "Ring 2" page that described a different version of the Ring stage, while every page describing a stage could easily contain information on all versions of said stage on a single page instead to avoid cluttering the WIki with extremely similar pages) but that only created pointless extra redirects. I am asking for an Administrator role for my love of the game and my desire to polish its Wiki; the articles I created on my own so far, "Beasts" and "Notable Beasts" (the latter was an edited version of a useless page as a way to "remove it"), are by far the longest and most in-depth of the Wiki and I wanna use the ability to remove/rename pages to get rid of unneded pages (such as the accidentals redirects I created) and generally polish the Wiki up. At the moment I also already created pages for missing stages (stages present in the game who didn't have a Wiki page yet) that I will fill with information in the future.

Hello. I took a look at your contributions, and they are not OK behaviour for an admin. All you are doing is vandalizing pages, messing around and not improving the wiki. codenamed: the  great tanline666 18:25, August 10, 2018 (UTC)

EDIT/RESPONSE BY GOLFER MARIO:

I haven't vandalised any page, all the recent pages I created are there for filling the content in later (currently making all the pages' text one by one on text files so that I can fill them in all at the same time, reason for why I created the empty pages, so that I can just look at what I still need to do), the edits I did weren't vandalisations but rather fixes or removal of wrong information (one of the information the original creator of the Wiki was that the buoy in the Buoy stage was used for "an oil rig", which is completely made up information as the developers never mentioned any oil rig in any of their messages). Some of the issues might stem from the fact that most of the information about Gang Beasts I got is from personal chats with the developers (I am a Forum veteran on Gang Beasts' Steam Forums and I am part of Gang Beasts' official Discord server where users frequently take part in discussing coming and current content with the development team, meaning that I do have A LOT of info to put there)

The reason for the randomly-named pages (like "Whallala" or "Delete this") were made as an attempt to remove useless pages (like Ring 2, which is completely unneeded since there already is a Ring page we can use, no need to make a page for each update of the stage, listing all its versions in a single page is a better; reason for why I decided to turn it into a page that discusses the characters of the game, as that was completely missing) however it seems like I had issue with renaming the page as at every attempt to rename it it'd create a new page, and those new pages are the ones with the nonsensical names, however my attempt were't malicious as I care deeply about the game and I wanna contribute to the Wiki. My idea was to later remove the randomly-names pages (again, the ones supposed to be actual pages for stages, mechanics and such were created so that I could fill them in later, I have text files where I'm typing the entire content of the pages, I just wanted to "make them all first" and copy-paste the text in them once I was done writing them all)

Can I at least have a tutorial on how to utilise the Wiki tools for editing without having to resort to sloppily-edited/created pages like I did now? The main issue is that I was desperately trying to remove the useless "Ring 2" page (again, having all the versions a stage in a single page for that stage would be much more practical), that was the only thing causing the issues.

In case you might need proof that I'm not a troll, here's a link to my Steam account page:

Currently changed the name to "Demon Marge" and as such the avatar, but you can check that "Golfer Mario", my current FANDOM name, was the one I previously used for my account; in my post history you can find a lot of post about the game, many of which can be considered quite informative. I do not want to vandalise the Wikia at all, I simply wanna attempt to improve it the best that I can, the only real issue has been caused by my trying to remove the pointless Ring 2 page (which has unintentionally made me create extra pages, again, a tutorial on how modifying/creating pages works would be great...).

Again, I feel good as an admin because of the deep knowledge I have of the game, being able to fully edit articles and put in all said knowledge is the reason why I wanna become and Admin: easier and more effective way to add content to the Wiki (while, again, removing wrong or obsolete information or useless pages like the Ring 2 page that I "transformed" into a page for another topic)

And, finally, the Wiki is basically almost dead and no admin is working on it, I feel like I could be a good one for it as I love the game a ton.

SECOND EDIT:

Specifically this is the page I edited before my edit (take note there already was another "Ring" page where this other version of the stage could have been added): https://gang-beasts.wikia.com/wiki/Notable_Beasts?oldid=167

This is what I turned this page into: https://gang-beasts.wikia.com/wiki/Notable_Beasts

I mean, I get that it still needs pictures and such but how is this "vandalizing" the page?


 * Hello. The only pages where you've actually added real content are Beasts and Notable Beats which were created in July. To meet the guidelines, please contribute good content to more pages and/or create new pages nearly every day for about a week. Once you've done that, contact me on my message wall, and I'll be happy to complete your adoption.
