Community Central:Adoption requests

Antiques Wiki
I found the Antiques Wiki (antiques.wikia.com) and it looks like nothing happened to it since it was started on January 9th, 2008 (and my edits). I'd like to adopt it. I can't edit the sidebar or anything like that without being an admin, and I'd need to do that in order to revive the wiki. There are no active admins in this wiki. It turns out there was already another wiki like the one I had requested, that was already established with quite a large user base. They contacted me about it, and instead of competing, we (the owner of that wiki and myself) decided to use that wiki instead of the Wikia-hosted wiki. The sidebar still contains "edit me!" content links, and the main page still had "The wiki about (topic)" on it before I edited it.

Thanks! I'd really appreciate adopting this wiki, or at least be given admin rights. -- Carbon Fiber Man 00:34, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! It looks like you're off to a great start!  I've promoted you to bureaucrat.  Keep it up!  --KyleH (talk) 00:44, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks! -- Carbon Fiber Man 00:46, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Chowder Fan Club
It is full of vandalism, and the admins haven't edited for days, and refuses to do something. Chowder wiki needs another admin. Elbutler 22:32, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Open source wiki Adoption
I would like to adopt the open source wiki on wikia. i think i can make it into a pretty big wiki and get many contributers as well as "Sprucing" it up. Sniper910 03:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi -- you appear to have lost interest in the wiki since making this request and have made very few edits. We like to see potential admins contributing to the wiki before adoption it.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 17:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

ACDC, if I am allowed to
I'm not sure if anons can adopt, but I would like to adopt the ACDC wiki. I just love ACDC! Sincerly, 68.112.191.89 17:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It's impossible to make an IP a sysop, so you need to create an account. --[[User:Yowuza|YOWUZA ]] TALK 2 ME! 17:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * That aside, I can't see that you've contributed to the wiki yet. We like to see people make some good contributions, customize a welcome template, and welcome other users before they adopt a wiki, per the guidelines on the top of this page.  It looks like there is a lot of anonymous activity on that wiki; it's hard to say if any of that is from regular contributors, but if it is, we'd also like to make sure they're on board with you being an admin.  ACDC Wiki could definitely use an admin -- I hope you create an account and start giving it some love.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll adopt it. I love ACDC more than anyone.ZZ Top 23:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! It looks like that wiki definitely needs some love.  I've made you a bureaucrat.  Have fun! --KyleH (talk) 00:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Zeldapedia
Hello, I'd like to adopt Zeldapedia. TriforceKnight 23:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Which version are you talking about? I hope you're not talking about the English version, since the English Zeldapedia is far from inaction and it has a ton of administrators and bureaucrats. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:45, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

No I mean any version that's avalible. your choice.TriforceKnight 21:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Tritem! It's great that you're excited about Zeldapedia, but there is already an active community there with several active administrators.  If you are interested in becoming an administrator there, you should spend some time there and help out.  Once you have been there a while and gained the community's trust, you can post a RfA.  But regardless, there are a lot of ways that you can help a wiki without being an admin.  If there is a non-English version of Zeldapedia that you're specifically interested in, let me know and we can look in to adopting that one a bit further.  --KyleH (talk) 22:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

SpongeBob SquarePants
Hello! I would like to adopt SpongeBob SquarePants Wiki. --ѕќ8яыύѕкат ( contribs |talk ) 23:51, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello. I'm glad you're excited about SpongeBob SquarePants, but that wiki has an active admin, User:AMK152.  You would have to talk to him about having any admin rights, and there is a lot you can do as a regular contributor.  Good luck! -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Teen Titans
Hello, um... I would like to adopt the Teen Titans wiki, its very underdeveloped and its been a victim of spamming for some time now, so if you could grant me adminship I would really appreciate it, if not could you at least give admin status to a responsible user on that wiki?

Thanks- Sweatshirt Shiro 17:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi - I think it's great that you want to help out Teen Titans. I don't see any regular contributors there, but I also don't see that you have made any contributions.  There is a lot that you can clean up (Using "Undo" and  tags if nothing else) as a regular user, and many things you could do to spruce up the wiki and expand the content.  Please ask us again after you've done some of these things!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 18:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Pendragonpedia w:c:pendragonadventure
I'm not sure if this is the right page for this, so could someone please help me :). I have been trying to help with the Pendragon wiki's setup, but have been having difficulty because I am not an admin. I put a request there, but I don't know of anyone who visits it regularly, and the founder is currently inactive. Sorry if this was the wrong place to put this,  Blurrr (Talk)


 * This is the right place for your request. Per the guidelines on this page, could you please create a welcome template, or customize Template:Welcome and Template:WelcomeIP, and then welcome all other contributors in Recent Changes. We'd also need to know that you would continue to welcome new users...  Thanks!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 18:12, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You should be all set! -- Wendy  (talk ) 17:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I want to adopt the CAW Wikia
This may be the 2nd time that I did this, but case & point. If I'm not appointed, the CAW Wikia WILL keep getting vandalized. XtremeTony 10:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Xtremetony! It's great that you're excited about the CAW wiki, but it looks like there are a number of other contributors to the wiki who should have a say in who becomes an admin.  Can you post a message on the forum nominating yourself?  Let me know once you've done that and I'll link to it in the sitenotice. --KyleH (talk) 19:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Calvin and Hobbes Wiki
I would like to adopt the Calvin and Hobbes Wiki. I don't think there are any admins active there. I have good plans. There is one users. I'm going to get people from the Club Penguin Wiki. Thank you for your time. -- H a pp y f a c e 21:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. I think it's great that you want to improve the Calvin and Hobbes wiki.  However it's only been a couple of weeks since you were made a sysop on Rocket Science Wiki, and per our guidelines above, it should be at least 60 days since you were granted admin status on any other wiki before you adopt another.  Further, the founder of the Calvin and Hobbes wiki was active within the last month, so it has not been abandoned and your request for admin powers should be directed to him/her.  -- Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Lucky Star
Hey there. I just wanted to ask if I could adopt the Lucky Star Wiki. It was dead for a long time before I finally made some Articles, and the owner probably only came because he received an E-Mail of my new Articles. I am knowledgable in Lucky Star things, and wanted to adopt it. Thanks.


 * Hi. I think it's great that you want to work on the Lucky Star wiki.  Since the founder is active now (for whatever reason) please talk to him/her about being promoted to admin status.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:18, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

The Australian Rules Football Wiki (footy.wikia.com)
The Current Website Is Disappointing, It Doesn't Have Any Team Pages And I Know A LOT Of Facts On The Best Game In The World. Like The Highest Score, Highest Winning Margin, Best And Fairests etc. Thanks DX10
 * Hi DX10! It's great that you're interested in the Footy wiki, but I don't see that you have made many contributions yourself, plus one of the current admins has contributed within the past 30 days.  There are a lot of ways that you can help without being an admin though!  You can add those facts yourself now!  If the current admins are still inactive after 60 days, come back and we can evaluate the request again.  --KyleH (talk) 00:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Runescape Wiki Adoption Request
I would like to adopt the Runescape wiki as it is a great site and I do play Runescape. I have adequate knowledge about it. I guarantee that when the wiki is under me it will prosper to new heights. In fact, Runescape is a massive online multiplayer game and i want it to further progress. I want it to go to a new level. Please do allow me to adopt it. Thanks.

Yours, --Öm Rëbèllïo™₧¿©¼ 08:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'm glad to hear you're excited about the Runescape Wiki; however, there are already a bunch of sysops on the English Ruenscape Wiki (I count 25 that have been active on the wiki in the last 30 days!).  You can do a bunch of work on the wiki without being a sysop though.  There are a bunch of projects and areas that need help listed on the Community Portal.  If there is a non-English version of the Runescape wiki that you're interested in adopting, let me know and I'll be happy to help. --KyleH (talk) 22:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

The Tiny Guide to Wikis and Wikipedia
I'd like to adopt this wikia because I can see its potential. Sure, there aren't 502,611,492,244 things to be written about, but it'd be good to have an active guide wiki to show people around a bit. when a wiki like this goes inactive, it doesn't just affest the wiki's traffic flow, it affects all of Wikia, so to me it's not only the chance to save a small community, it's the chance to help a larger community in whatever small way I can. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 16:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You should be set now. Keep up the good work!  --KyleH (talk) 00:55, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Pac-man
Could I please get admin rights to Pac-Man wiki, as you will be able to see, I've done more work on the site than anyone, and the site is desperately in need of more administrators as it is virtually empty. Please consider --Tomlamuse 09:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)tomlamuse.
 * Hi Tom! You're off to a great start, but one of the current admins has contributed in the last 30 days.  In order to adopt a wiki, the admin must have been inactive for at least 60 days.  But the wiki is just now getting started, and can use your help in a lot of other ways.  In the mean time, if you really want to be an admin, you may want to ask the most recently active admin to promote you. --KyleH (talk) 19:03, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Mariowiki
Hello, I want to adopt Mario wiki. I have been working alot as Luigi456 there so I thought I might as well adopt it.TriforceKnight 21:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Which one? Certainly not the english one. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 23:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Why not?TriforceKnight 22:08, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Tritem! Much like Zeldapedia, the Mario wiki has several active admins already.  Take a look at the adoption requirements at the top of this page: in order to adopt a wiki, none of the current admins may have contributed to the wiki within the last 60 days. --KyleH (talk) 22:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Is there any wikia that the admins havent contributed in 60 days?TriforceKnight 23:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So now you don't care about the Mario wiki? You just want to be in control of a wiki. Wikis need people to care for them, not to rule them. This isn't a page where free wikis are handed out to users. There are inactive wikis that need caring for, and this page is only for people willing to take good care of them. You got to be committed to these wikis. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 02:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ditto Michaeldsuarez. Also, there's lots of inactive wikis. See Category:Adopt this wiki. --<font face="Impact" color="5F9EA0">YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 16:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

listen you, I just want to help. If you want less helpers for wikias, then FINE!!!TriforceKnight 21:36, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Translation: I (Irontrooper, the spoker) would like to become the administrator of the articles in the above-mentioned Simpsons wiki. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 02:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hola Irontrooper. Ya existe un wiki de los simpons en español en es.simpsons.wikia.com muy activo, incluso con tres administradores. Te invito a editar en ese wiki y unirte a esa comunidad. Zuirdj (talk - mensajes) 02:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Request For Weather Wiki
I am here to request an adoption of the Weather Wiki. Currently in the wiki, hardly any edits have been made and the Wiki has no active Admin. --Abe123 16:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! You're off to a great start.  I've made you a bureaucrat; keep up the good work! --KyleH (talk) 00:56, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Abe123 11:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

ImagineWiki
Hello,

It now has been exactly 61 days since I created a wiki or adopted one. May I please adopt ImagineWiki now?

Thanks,

--Jklmcw 18:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Jklmcw! It looks like two of the current admins on ImagineWiki have contributed in the past 30 days.  In order to adopt a wiki, the current admins must have been inactive for the past 60 days.  If the existing admins become inactive again, let me know, but for now, your best bet is to talk to the existing community members if you are interested in helping out in that capacity. --KyleH (talk) 01:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Guitar Wiki
I would like to adopt the guitar wiki. I can play Ride The Lightning on my SG. ZZ Top 14:02, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! I just approved your request to adopt the ACDC wiki.  Adopting a wiki is a lot of work, so try focusing on that one for a while before taking on extra responsibility.  --KyleH (talk) 01:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Charmed
Hello there !

I'm quite an active user on the Charmed wiki along with the user, LeoandPiper, and we were both wondering if it would be possible to become admins. We have been there for a lengthly period of time, made countless categories, pages, redirects, editing the main page and even reverting edits by a vandal ! In the frequent user list, LeoandPiper is the top user, ahead of both admins and I am second,also ahead of both admins. To cut this long message short, could we become admins soon (Liutenant Ayala hasn't made any edits for almost 60 days and I believe Darlene4 for is gone for good). There seem to be no other frequently active users.

Also, we have all the necessary qualities for becoming so having welcomed users,made many edits, customised a slightly better welcome template and edited the main page trying to improve its appearences as well as possible. - <font face="Porky's">  2Anthony4  Talk  Contributions  21:29, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, leoandpiper here. I'd just like to tell you that we would really like to become admins and we await your reply. -Leoandpiper 09:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. You guys are doing a nice job on Charmed.  However we need to see you guys make/customize a welcome template and welcome all the other contributors on the wiki; there are quite a few of them in recent hanges.  And because there are so many contributors to the wiki, it would be good if you would make a post in the community portal or the forum about becoming administrators, and give people a chance to comment on it.  I can help you set up a site notice to attract people's attention.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:39, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

academic jobs film and media wiki 2008-2009
no one has updated last year's wiki on the film and media job search from 2007-2008. I think we need to set up a new one.
 * Can you provide a link to the wiki? I can't seem to find it myself.  If the wiki can just be updated for the new year, then you should try updating it yourself--you don't need to be an admin to add new info.  If you think that it wouldbe best to have a completely separate wiki, then you should request it at http://requests.wikia.com. --KyleH (talk) 01:09, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Runescape wiki
I would like to adopt the Runescape Wiki because i am very expirienced in Runescape and would serve it better than it is currently. Also the current owner has retired Steven4545 01:47, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'm glad to hear you're excited about the Runescape Wiki; however, there are already a bunch of sysops on the English Ruenscape Wiki (I count 25 that have been active on the wiki in the last 30 days!).  You can do a bunch of work on the wiki without being a sysop though.  There are a bunch of projects and areas that need help listed on the Community Portal.

i would like adopt the Knight Rider wiki because i know about the show and i would like to help people out on that wiki site and would serve it better and help it get bigger.--Wiezorek James 15:02, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Wiezorek, thanks for your interest in the Knight Rider wiki! I see you just showed up there a few days ago and have been making some helpful contributions. As you've so recently joined the community, I would suggest you spend some more time editing and welcoming new users. Please feel free to reference the list of criteria at the top of this page if you're unsure about how to proceed. Thanks! —Scott ( talk ) 17:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Oddopedia
Can I adopt it now? --Huge_bob 15:36, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi there! It looks like Oddopedia is mostly inactive; however, I don't see that you have contributed much yourself.  There are a lot of ways that you can help without being an admin--try helping out a bit first, and come back in a few weeks if you are still interested in adopting the wiki.  --KyleH (talk) 01:13, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, i have contributed actually! Look at the article CLIFF and senior tort! --Huge_bob 06:24, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

In September I requested adoption for the Dead Rising wiki, but got no response. Since then I have done much for the wiki and I hereby request adminship (again) for the Dead Rising wikia. Wikiar 22:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Heya! I'm sorry that I didn't see where you changed your request to just the Dead Rising wiki (instead of both).  It looks like you're doing really good work on there now, so I went ahead and made you a bureaucrat.  Keep up the good work. :) --KyleH (talk) 08:20, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Drug Education Wikia
I would like to adopt the wikia project http://drugeducation.wikia.com/wiki/Drug_Education I was planning on starting my own educational drug website. Although I was hoping not to have education in the URL title to avoid misinterpretation to readers. Druginformation would be much more suited.

This Wikia has one contributing member, who had done nothing other than create the wiki, since the creation he has done nothing. My plans for the wiki is fairly simple. I thought it would be beneficial to create a drug information wiki, in which accurate information and an assessment of the risks and effects associated with drug use of all drugs. The benefits would be rather than reading some stoner site which says "lol there are no long term effects of ice" or some government site which says "One recreational dose of Ecstasy can give you Parkinsons disease" It just provides accurate understandable information.

Such information can be found, just that often it is extremely bias and I want to reduce that to more accurate information.
