Admin Forum:Whose wiki needs editors?

Hey guys! So we’ve been receiving a bunch of requests lately of how to attract more editors to their wikis. Meighan and I have decided to create this thread where founders and admins can promote their wikis and seek out new editors.

Please post here if you are looking for editors to help you on wiki, or are offering your help to get new wikis started! Also, please remember to include a link to your wiki so everyone can find it! Thanks! ^^ --Trellar http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:48, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi everyone, this is a great list! I'll be writing a Staff blog post that will go live on Friday about the new changes & the 4 new buckets on Admin Forum. I'll also be highlighting specific threads, and this thread, Whose Wiki Needs Editors will be one of them. :) --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:22, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Kuroshitsuji wiki
The Kuroshitsuji wiki could use some editors. Most of our editors only come by about once a month when new content is released. SereneChaos 16:54, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Ben 10 Wiki

Calvan and Hobbes Fanon
I run the Calvin and Hobbes Fanon Wiki, where anyone can write their own fake bit of Calvin and Hobbes. It's recently made, but it's all customized with colors and easy funcionality, and it's ready to get out there. ROADS! Roads! (Don't forget it!) 13:11, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Crysis Wiki
Like the Crysis series? Then you should come edit on Crysis Wiki with us! We haven't a lot of editors and we sure could use some help if you own any of the games. Thanks, Shotrocket6 (T/C/E) 10:31, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

WikiSein
Did you enjoy watching Seinfeld in the '90s? Well, everybody did. The wiki needs some serious help, and it seems the users have left. The Wiki is starting to grow fast, and WikiSein can use all of the help it can get  DaRanger  |  Talk to Me  |  What I've Done  |  16:45,8/22/

The Flash Player Wiki
No Wiki needs more people than this one. It's me, JUST ME. Also note that it's not a wiki about flash player, it's a random wiki. Contribute or you will get banned from life! :D RandomWikiaUser1680 18:26, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

The Looney Tunes Show Wiki
Hello everyone. I'm an admin on The Looney Tunes Show Wiki and decided to make a blog here so more people can check it out and come there. It's currently pretty small and sometimes deserted, but has a lot of high quality images ready to be added to pages and tons of content for character pages. It'll be real helpful if you join the Wiki and start editing. XoTulleMorXo is the head of the Wiki currently and if you make at least 100-250 edits there, you'll probably be promoted to rollback. It's pretty easy to make edits currently there, as there's lots of things that need to be done, such as adding more to character summaries, adding more images to pages, fixing grammar, adding quotes to character and episode pages, adding a plot section for episodes and finally improving stubs. The link to the Wiki is here. . -- Webkinz Mania  Talk  Blogs  Contributions  Editcount  18:48, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Men in Black Wiki
As the only internet database that covers not only the films, but the original comics and animated series, it could always use more editors. With a new film coming out in the coming year, content will be flying in fast.  DaRanger  |  Talk to Me  | <font face="Friz Quadrata">  What I've Done  | 19:01,8/22/2011

Ninja Gaiden Wiki
I am looking for some regular editors over at Ninja Gaiden Wiki. I am the only regular and we have one or two periodic editors. There is a lot to do so I would love some help.--

GnomeTown Wiki
GnomeTown Wiki definitely needs help, since it's new. I've gotten a head start on everything, but I definitely need some help creating new or updating templates. You don't need to know about the Facebook game; skilled template making is greatly appreciated! :) • <font color="458CFF">Bermuda • <font color="8AAABF">Contact Me!  • 00:30, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

MarioWiki
As the heading suggests, this is a request for users for MarioWiki. You'd be surprised that a wiki based on the widespread Mario Universe is as inactive as it is. We have some 6 or 7 active users (Users who edit at least semi-daily) and even then, they don't do all that much each day. Compared to what one would think, we don't even have 3,000 articles yet! We need good editors and could use some help, y'know. &mdash; The   Puzzle   Master  01:05, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Roller Coaster Wiki
Roller Coaster Wiki, also known as Coasterpedia, is the only active wiki about the fascinating topic of roller coasters. You can find tons of statistics, pictures, and videos of all types of roller coasters from around the world! The wiki, however, has been lacking in consistent editors since its creation. I hope you will check it out and become a part of the project! MontagnaMagica|Talk 01:57, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Flat Ride Wiki
Flat Ride Wiki is a sister project to Roller Coaster Wiki. It is relatively new, and needs some people who know about these fun rides! So far, information on Flat Rides (theme park and fair rides that aren't roller coasters) is scattered throughout the internet. It would be great to see one great source for all flat rides! Please help make this happen! MontagnaMagica|Talk 01:57, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Mawaru-Penguindrum Station
The Mawaru-Penguindrum Wiki is relatively new, about two months old. I've had about two stragglers make an edit, but otherwise... yeah. The templates are all basically set up. Um, you can check out the anime series, it's new too (as of this post there have been 6 episodes released so far). But according to the main page poll at least 150 people have checked out the wiki. It just lacks content... So, check out the show (Google is your friend) and maybe add information. :D

Neopets Wiki
The Neopets wiki is one of the oldest active wiki's. It was founded in 2004 and I, Ji Robinson, took the reigns on it 2 months ago. I've been fixing up the existing pages but I cant do it alone with my schedule. I need more editors! More importantly, I need consistent editors. Please come by and help out. Get involved and see what's going on at the neopets wiki right[http://neopets.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Ji_Robinson/Wikia_Rules! here ].

Kuroko no Basuke Wiki
I doubt that this will atract new editors, but heck. I've adopted the wiki a month ago and have added 137 pages, over 300 files and over 2750 edits. I think it's really something to be proud of, but when I look at the recent changes, set it to last 500 edits in the last 30 days and hide my own edits... 6 edits. For a wiki this size and whatnot, this is sad. Kuroko no Basuke (or Kuroko no Basket) is a fairly popular manga, so I really don't get why nobody edits the wiki. I could always need some help and would really like someone to work with on this wiki. 17:42, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Modern Wiki
The Modern wikia is all about everything modern and present in the world from the years of 1980 to the present. From Modern defense and military, to modern structures, from modern periods of time, to modern technology and inventions and even more!!! We have created a updated the css of the skin on June 20, 2011 and Andrew Reno is currently seeking contributors and users who have a passion for the modern society dating from 1980 to the present time and are willing to help out our community by editing and creating articles and reaching our top goal of 10,000 articles! Sure the requests for Admin and Bureau rights are tough to get but we want people who are willing to demonstrate that they can stay and help out not leave and forget about us. We also have some cool features like an awsome community portal, a toolbar, news, chat, and much more!


 * Hi there, thanks for sharing your wiki -- if you could please leave a link so people can check it out that would be super helpful. Also, be sure to sign your name! ;) --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:50, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

Top Shot Wiki
Hello. As of now, I am the only contributor to Top Shot Wiki, and it is getting very difficult to update articles related to topics in a currently airing season. --

The Dark Tower Wiki
Hile, I'm the admin at The Dark Tower Wiki, a wiki devoted to Stephen King's epic series. We have quadrupled in size over the last 3 months, mostly because of my efforts as well as my fellow admin Tomrowley. We could use more editors though because it is almost entirely us working on it. Now is a great time to hop aboard because the Dark Tower graphic novels are still being released and there is a chance of a movie over the next few years. Long days and pleasant nights. --Rolliemoon "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" -T.S. Eliot 21:27, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

How's It Going?
We've seen a lot of admins ask for help with editing in this forum, which is awesome! It's exactly what we've hoped for. So thank you for coming and posting here -- and please continue to post. I'm curious though, have you seen the help you need? Have newer editors come through? Or have you checked out other wikis? Is there something else Trella and I can do to help you guys here? Tell us your experience so far by responding below this thread. --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:14, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * On the wikis I have posted here, I have recieved absolutely no new users (except for one that was a passerby).
 * Well, that's good to know you had at least one person check out your wiki, I wouldn't categorize that as absolutely no one! MIB looks amazing btw. I bet it may seem a little daunting to some new users as it's all shiny and sleek. ;) What are some of the things you do to encourage new users or keep existing ones, DaRanger? --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:33, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have yet to figure out a way to keep a user on a wiki. I try to leave a welcoming message on new users pages, which will keep them there for a while. However, I have yet to find something that sticks.
 * Yes, that is something that alludes even the most veteran wikian! What makes people stay? I started a thread in the Watercooler forum asking for users to post what they do to attract users AND what has attracted them to stay on wikis that they visit...maybe we'll see some good stuff in there. ;) --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:46, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
