On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Cameko-mmd, January 30th, 2016

Any other information: Please pay close attention to what I'm about to say. I know I don't seem very eligible because I haven't been active or because I haven't made enough edits, but there is a very good reason for that.

The DAGames Wikia is in shambles right now. There's only a handful of pages, half the DAGames members aren't listed anywhere (myself included), the categories are confusing and inconsistently applied, the Navigation bar is practically empty, there's so many things wrong with the basic structure of the Wikia page that I need to fix before I can worry about simple edits.

If I'm going to bring this page back to life I want to be able to do it from the ground up. I want to start with the Navigation bar first, THEN move to categories, THEN fill in all the blanks by creating all the pages with the missing information in a systematic and structured order. I am very particular when it comes to things like this, so if you're wondering why I haven't made many edits or been very active yet, that's why.

The original creator of the DAGames Wikia was a fan of ours who disappeared off the face of the earth. We had been trying to contact them since April to no avail. I hope you can help us.


 * Customizing the navigation bar is the only thing you have mentioned that you can't do. You are still able to organize categories and add content without any special right, and I don't think that wanting to work "from the ground up" is a good reason to skip the first phase of adoption process (contributing regularly with constructive edits). However, this is just an unofficial response: Staff might answer you in a different way. --

Reply: Yeah, after writing this I figured I might as well put some work in anyway. It seemed like it would be a massive headache without the navigation bar, but it's been manageableso far. I've gone from a mere 12 edits to now over 50 edits, and added three new pages since posting this, and I'm gonna keep working at it until I receive some kind of official response. -- OblivionFall 00:01, September 24 2017 CST
