Please link to the wiki here: http://redstone.wikia.com/wiki/RedStone

How many edits have you made on that wiki? One, to alert anyone still there of my intentions.

How many days/months have you been editing there? One day, but I've been editing MinecraftWiki's Redstone section for over a year, now.

On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? 2008-09-06 at 10:34:22 by JoeSchmoe3

Any other information: This wiki is about a product which was in production when the wiki was made (2008), but never was actually made. The owner seems to have abandoned it, and I wish to repurpose it to be about the intricacies of Redstone in Minecraft. My purpose for this wiki is already both relevant and extensive, something which its current topic is not. My idea would help potential thousands of people, and his, it seems, has sadly helped none. It hurts me to see a wiki go to waste, as it has happened to me, but I think this wiki has to be closed and its domain reused for something which is more relevant, useful, and extensive.

My plans for a Minecraft Redstone wiki would include many series topics ("series" meaning "sets of pages", such as Wikipedia's series on Video Games), such as basic information about Redstone, basic Redstone circuitry, advanced Redstone circuitry, Redstone-related mods, Redstone Quirks, etc.

I have been an admin of multiple wikis and have made tens of thousands of edits to wikis. Redstone needs a wiki because it's so complex, and (as you can see if you look through the linked articles) there is so much known and unknown that trying to fit it all into an article, or even a category on a wiki, forces too much information into too little of a space, and it is hard to manage unless it has its own wiki.

Normally, if I want to make a wiki and the domain is already taken, I choose a new domain and start from there. However, in this case, I saw that this wiki is nearly empty, anyway, and think this is a great chance to breathe life into a dead wiki. If you think this is outrageous, please give me alternatives; I'm not unreasonable and will consider all suggestions.
