Adoption:Backrooms Wiki (5)

Adoption requests →

What is your username? Chaosraider98

Please link to the wiki here: [//backrooms.fandom.com/wiki/Backrooms_Wiki Backrooms]

How many edits have you made on that wiki? It says 40 at the moment, but I will be doing more as time continues.

How many days/months have you been editing there? Around 2 I think

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? I can't find this list, so I don't think this page has ever been edited by an admin. In fact, I don't think there are and admins or mods for this page.

Any other information: This community is a pretty interesting one originating from 4Chan and spread to Reddit (if I recall). At the moment, this Backrooms wiki is made based on the subreddit and its lore, but there are a number of people breaking lore as well as rampantly trolling the pages, such as a page named "Cum" and similar. There has been snuff and gore posted as well.

I would like to adopt this community as, though I am not super active on the wiki or the subreddit, I am involved with the community on Discord and have discussed a lot of this stuff with some of the more prominent figures in the community, including u/Bart0nius from Reddit who has spearheaded much of the creative expansion of this wiki page and wants me to take up some sort of moderator/administrator position on the wiki so that I can help him control the community.

This wiki was almost turned into a full on troll page, with even the front page being edited to basically encourage trolling at one point. However, since, I have done some editing to try and bring everything back in line, and I'm currently as I write this keeping tabs on the wiki to try and make sure there is no further trolling, as well as looking for some troll pages I may have previously missed.

I hope this is enough to convince you to allow me to take control of this wiki. I really do enjoy this community and I hate to see it die as many have been saying it is.
 * There have been five requests for this wiki since June. And it's still true to say that it's still a wiki that isn't 60 days old. That alone makes the wiki not eligible for adoption.


 * But the bigger thing is that if there have been five separate requests, obviously there is no community agreement on who should lead this wiki. And, indeed, the wiki is very active with other editors. That, too, makes it ineligible for adoption.


 * I know that someone put up a notice on the main page that this wiki was adoptable, but that was never the case, and so I have removed that message.


 * I have reached out to the founder to try to get them involved in the process, since ultimately it's better if someone familiar with the subject material figures out local user rights.


 * But there's nothing wrong with also creating a discussion somewhere on the wiki to talk about how to proceed. The founder, Cicicicity, should be invited as well, since it will help them make a decision. And if the founder never returns, a discussion like that — to which everyone is personally invited — is the only way that we on Fandom staff will be able to award rights — should that prove necessary.
