 * Hi. Awesome job bringing people onto the wiki. Your contributions look great too. Since there are so many other people there as well, we’ll need to see that there’s a consensus amongst the community members that you should be the new admin. Please begin a discussion on the wiki about your adoption request so the other users can help decide the next admin as well. This should be in public and on the wiki, meaning not on Chat. Once there’s a decision, let us know here. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:51, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hiya Brandon, we are currently haveing a discussion at the wiki, I have some questions, when I became an admin at the fantasy university wiki the admin asked me and another contributor to become admins too to help him with the growing wiki, how does this work, can there be more than one admin ? does the adoption request mean becoming an admin like I was on the fantasy university wiki or a bureaucrat? and can we have more than one admin? what are the guidelines? thanks in advance --FMF 15:42, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * There certainly can be more than one admin! :) Several users can use the ability to help the wiki in order of it being clean. To make another user an admin, YOU need to be a bureaucrat, and edit the user contributions by going under "user rights managment." From there, you can choose the user group you want that user to be. Also, there can be as many admin as you want, though, it's not always best to make "friends" an admin right away. You need to promote users who are fit--who have a good contribution, a good attitude, ect. KillFeedz OG 06:37, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * The usersthat participated in the discussion in the wiki have agreed that I'll become the new admin, you can read the discussion at Wild West Town Wiki forums. I'd also like an answer to my previous question. Thanks in advance --FMF 06:27, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there any news concerning this adoption request? also I would like to become a bureaucrat so in due time it'll be possible to promote a contributer to admin status. Thanks in advance --FMF 16:36, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * someone's started vandalising the wiki!! I cannt do anything about it - example:


 * Hi. I apologize for the long delay in getting back to your request. Thanks for starting the blog -- I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights.


 * I hadn't seen your questions previously but it looks like KillFeedz answered them. Hopefully you reported the vandalism to the Volunteer Spam Task Force or to Special:contact!


 * Good luck with the wiki! -- Wendy (talk ) 04:18, July 29, 2012 (UTC)
