Any other information:

OC: The wiki is for Drawception, which is an online game with its own community. The wiki was used to help inform new players on old players, how to play, and some of the in-jokes. Within the past year, some people, both anonymous and not decided that would ruin the wiki by replacing whole articles with spam text, changing links, and removing titles, making the wiki a mess. This is because the iwki is open to anyone to edit and is not moderated at all. We in the Drawception community wish to improve the wiki to help others, and to do that we need someone to moderate in some capacity, and prevent the trolls from even getting through. I would be happy to answer more questions if needed.

Hello. According to the Adoption Guidelines, you have to have edited for a week or more, which you have not done. I presume staff will get to you at a later time when you have edited everyday for a week. I wish you luck in adopting the wiki! - Solace


 * Hello. Solace is correct - in order to adopt the wiki you will need to edit there regularly, every day or two for at least a week, and create at least one new content page. You will also need to create a blog or discussion post to let the other contributors on the wiki know that you plan to adopt it, and leave it up for about a week. Please keep editing and let me know on my wall to check back again when you have done those things.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 06:43, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

Joe HF: I'm a long-standing, if intermittent editor, and have recently been appointed as a moderator on the Drawception website itself. Considering my commitment to the main site, my content editing on the wiki will be fairly minimal, although I would like to keep the wiki in good condition and a good representation of the site; and thus will deal with removing trolling and bad-faith edits. I'll be letting the other editors (often also only occasional editors, including the previous requester ObsessiveCompulsive and my co-requestor Hippo986) take the lead on content and day-to-day administration, but would like to adopt the wiki to be able to manage permissions to make this possible.

There is a blog post discussing the adoption at https://drawception.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Hippo986/Are_y%27all_okay_with_me_adopting_this_wiki%3F which has been in place on the wiki for over a week with no objections.

 * Hello. The most recent edits for you both are reverts, but considering the vandalous situation, I've given you and Hippo986 admin and bureaucrat rights. JoePlay https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/e/e5/FandomStaff.png (talk)  21:21, August 15, 2018 (UTC)
