Adoption:Xenosaga Wiki (2)

Adoption requests →

'''What is your username? '''

Abearhead, but I believe Brevantes should get admin status as well even though he doesn't meet the adoption guideline requirements for activity.

Please link to the wiki here:

http://xenosaga.wikia.com

How many edits have you made on that wiki?

48

How many days/months have you been editing there?

A few days, but I've been lurking there for months.

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it?

Shockstorm, who last editted 23:49, September 21, 2016. There are a number of other admins who are years idle.

Any other information:

So this wiki is undergoing quite the crisis right now. There are only two active contributors left: myself, and AlexShepherd. The problem is that AlexShepherd drove off every other active contributor by constantly arguing edits, harassing users, refusing to stop when asked, and so on. Shockstorm had banned him, but the ban appears to have expired since then, and Shockstorm hasn't been seen since.

The two other active users of the wiki are not contributors anymore. Brevantes, and Tanyuu; Tanyuu absolutely doesn't want to be admin, for instance, and Brevantes might consider it.

An attempt at a public discussion was started, but so far yielded no results, and has been hijacked by AlexShepherd here in clear defiance of the established rules of the discussion: http://xenosaga.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:10739

Another problem is that AlexShepherd is a user with a long history of bans on multiple Wikias. You may recall the great Silent Hill Wiki meltdown which earned him a global ban, which seems to have expired since. Not factoring this, a number of the edits he's made on the Xenosaga Wiki contain material that shouldn't be there, and we're having a very hard time fixing it without him starting edit wars. He has a tendency to slip political and religious views into articles, and it's going to take us a very long time to screen his thousands of edits to find all of the wrongdoings.

Worst of all, he's taken to harassing users on their walls and not stopping when asked. He's done this to four walls so far, mine included.

... to make a long story short, the most active contributor has turned the wiki into a hellscape, and we have no active admins to help moderate the situation. The only person to mention interest in the job so far is me, and if I'm being totally honest, I don't really WANT it, but someone needs to get admin rights to try and resolve this situation before the only recourse is to give up and close shop.

EDIT: Putting this on hold for now at the request of Brevantes who wants to poll what little users we have to see what happens.
