How many edits have you made on that wiki?

None, at the minute, however, I am considering a planned move of another Regular Car Reviews wiki from MediaWiki due to a lack of administration - see AoI.

How many days/months have you been editing there?

I've only just signed up to Wikia, so unfortunately, none, but if you count account contributions made over on MediaWiki: http://regularwiki.com/Special:Contributions/Hullian111

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

Last edit was made on the 23rd of February 2015 by M517604 - only 6 pages on a wikia of 21 contributors exists.

Any other information:

I am aiming to adopt regularcars.wikia because the previous Regular Car Reviews wiki - regularwiki.com - has suffered from a lack of major administration ever since it was introduced. I have mostly acted as the only contributor to the wiki, but my confidence and patience with the MediaWiki set-up is dwinding due to a lack of administrative privileges because of spambots creating pages advertising all manner of things. I have previously contacted the orignal owner of the wiki through Reddit and a PM on the site, but he has not responded - and as such, I consider that he has abandoned the wiki.

I know as a fresh user that this won't be looked on too well, but I'm hoping to make major headway with this new wiki in the form of easier-to-use tools to combat spam and moderate the wiki, and with easier means of formatting the transcripts that I will upload there. I was limited in my options to edit fine details on the Regular Wiki due to MediaWiki's difficult-to-grasp UI, administrative priveleges that I do not have, and lately, a lack of understanding of how to restart on MediaWiki from scratch.

I hope that this will be accepted. As of now, I am seriously considering throwing out my role on the Regular Wiki and starting afresh, but in that case, I would need an (almost) fresh start to go along with. Besides, regularcars.wikia is poorly formatted and lacks the significant touches that a Wikia should have, and I think that due to my previous experience in editing a wiki such as regularwiki.com, I think I am the best man for the job in that part.

EDIT: In retrospective, I know that barging in with a fresh account and claiming to be the saviour of a wiki isn't the best start for an account, but I'm hoping with the previous experience I have over on MediaWiki, that the contributions I did there will help your consideration.
