Hi. Sorry you felt I was being unhelpful, however I'm not allowed to grant rights on wikis that have active admins. That's made clear in the adoption guidelines at the top of Community Central:Adoption requests. Unfortunately, a staff member will tell you the same thing.

The best we can advise is for you to bring this up to the community. You don't have to take it straight to the admins, but you can set up a request for adminship&mdash;and a request for removal of user rights, if you'd like to see the inactive admin's rights removed&mdash;in the wiki's forum. That way, the community can decide.

Unfortunately, if the community chooses not to elect a new admin or remove the rights from an existing one, we can't help you there. Sorry.
