Help:Founders

A "founder" of a Wikia is simply the person who first proposed the wiki be created. Founders do not have any authority within the wiki to overrule the communities that form there, and they do not own the wiki that they founded.

Founders are automatically given administrator and bureaucrat access to their wiki, but the purpose of this is to allow them to clean up vandalism more easily, not to give them control over the content. Any other regular editor of the wiki can also become an admin, either by asking the founder, or by adopting the wiki if the founder has since become inactive.

How do I contact a wiki's founder?
To determine who the founder is, and whether they are active, visit Special:ListUsers and search for "Administrators" and "Bureaucrats". On small wikis, the founder is usually the only person with both admin and bureaucrat powers. The founder will also often still have a wiki-creation welcome message from Wikia on their talk page.

You can click the link to the founder's user page, then click "discussion" and leave a public message.

If you are logged in and have a valid email address in your preferences, you may be able to send a private message to the founder of a wiki by using email this user. This link is found by clicking the avatar/user icon on their user page, or in the sidebar on older skins. This will only work if the user has checked "Enable e-mail from other users" in their preferences.
