Community Central talk:Adoption requests

Picture
Can someone explain the picture to me, it just seems a bit random? -- Semaj draehs - Talk page 19:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's blueprints, cause you're building a wiki. It's a metaphor. (In other words: The best that we could come up with at the moment. :) ) -- Danny (talk ) 23:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Is there any discussion on changing those set requirements for adopting a wiki
mainly 'the original admin hasn't edited in 60 days', if an admin hasn't edited in 30 days, but only edited for one day in the first place, isn't that just as worthy for adoption as lets say an admin who edits for a year then has abandend for 60 days?

I'm not sure if these standards were a community descion, but I do believe they are a bit obstructing. -- Semaj draehs - Talk page 19:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * In general, there shouldn't be a huge rush to become an admin somewhere. You don't need to be an admin in order to contribute to a wiki, and help build it up. If the admin hasn't edited for 30 days, then leave them a talk page message, or try sending an e-mail.


 * Meanwhile, work on adding content for a while. There's tons to do on a new wiki -- building up articles, adding images and creating a category structure. You don't need to be an admin to do that stuff.


 * By the time you've made 100 pages of content, it'll be 60 days, and you'll be able to request adminship then. For now, your focus should be on building the content. How does that sound? -- Danny (talk ) 21:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Requests in other languages
Is Wikia management happy to have each established Central Wikia in another language run its own parallel procedure for adoption? See, for example, adoptions.

If so, should there be some way to ensure that nobody can be granted adoption rights in respect of more than one wiki at a time, irrespective of which language/s they use and which Central Wikia they apply through? Any other safeguards come to mind?
