Any other information: We are current being attacked by a cross-wiki vandal who uses VPNs and I'm getting the support of other users for my adoption of the wiki, but that will take hours. If a VSTF member sees this then please keep watch over the wiki and block their accounts for us. We only have 3 or 4 active users and can't keep up the fight full time.

 * Moviejunk2009 agreed to co-admin for the wikis betterment and I edited him in. Zane T 69 (talk) 17:41, February 23, 2019 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'd also like to get admin and bureaucrat powers for the sake of the wiki. The vandal is now continuing his rampage on Adventure Time Wiki: [//adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Squiddy6001 https://adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Squiddy6001] Moviejunkie2009 (talk) 18:17, February 23, 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you can't have two people adopting the same wiki at the same time. However, if one of you have the rights (after successfully adopting the wiki), you are freely give the other person the bureaucrat and admin rights. Otherwise, good luck!

Well, theoretically it's possible. Two years ago I and FortressMaximus both got admin and crat rights on Transformers Wiki following my adoption request: Adoption:Teletraan_I:_The_Transformers_Wiki, [//transformers.fandom.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&hide_patrol_log=1 https://transformers.fandom.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&hide_patrol_log=1]

I have now created a central discussion for the adoption: [//zoids.fandom.com/wiki/Forum:Adoption https://zoids.fandom.com/wiki/Forum:Adoption]

As you both can’t adopt the wiki at the same time one of you will receive rights first then you can give the rights to the other person and that was 2 years ago as the guidelines are different.

The guidelines two years ago were not that different: https://community.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Adoption_description?oldid=2070245 I have been on FANDOM for more than six years and I have never experienced a time when it was impossible for two users to adopt a wiki together. So it is unlikely to have changed.

 * Hello. Two users are allowed to adopt a wiki as long as they have discussed it, and they both meet the guidelines. After being inactive for a month, I see that you both resumed editing a couple of days ago. To meet the guidelines, you must be currently contributing to the wiki nearly every day for about a week. So please edit for a few more days, then contact me on my message wall, and I'll be happy to complete your adoption.

Alright. I'll message you on February the 29th then. Zane T 69 (talk) 22:58, February 25, 2019 (UTC)

Heh, that won't work because February 29 doesn't exist this year! Only every 4 years!


 * I would just like to point out that, as the current admin, I am still active. My lack of edits stemmed from there simply not being a pressing need for edits between November and the issues a few days ago. I will admit that the other admins have been inactive for some years now. I was not made aware of this request until just now. Sylvanelite (talk) 06:34, February 26, 2019 (UTC)

By Wikias definition you were inactive or at least inactive enough to count for them. A single user was able to make thousands of bad edits; false categorization, biassed categorization, and redundant categorization. I ended up cleaning that up and I dismissed it as a lapse on your part, but recently you were inactive again and I accepted that you just aren't able to do the job alone. You're one person responsible for over 900 pages and the wiki may become popular soon and then the wiki will be very understaffed and defended. Even if you are back, then you still need help. I'm not trying to insult, belittle, or usurp you; you genuinely need help and two regular users can't adequately defend the wiki and halt vandals and incorrigible users who just want their way no matter what (like the anon who abuses categories).
