What is your username? MovieFan1999

Please link to the wiki here: http://antagonists.wikia.com/wiki/Antagonists_Wiki

How many edits have you made on that wiki? 40 but increasing.

How many days/months have you been editing there? A day but by the time the request is checked it will likely be a week.

On the Special Pages → Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? There is not one listed that I can see.

Any other information: Here is the blog post: http://antagonists.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:MovieFan1999/Adopting_the_wiki!?title=User_blog%3AMovieFan1999%2FAdopting_the_wiki%21&cb=6649.

Hey, the last editing admin was Dripen, though their last edit was on February 12, 2012 (the creation of the wiki).

I created a blog back in May after being contacted by Tycio when he/she noticed that there were two wikis called the "Antagonists Wiki". The wordmark on both was originally "Villains Wiki" because Dripen wanted to create his own versions of the actual Villains Wiki (villains.wikia.com), but I was able to get someone from the design team to fix the wordmarks so it was more accurate.

In the blog, I pointed out that the other Antagonists Wiki without an S at the end (antagonist.wikia.com) is bigger, so it would make sense to move the content there, then get the second site forwarded into the first. As of today, the counts are 1114 pages versus 264.

I have noticed for several weeks that the same people are editing the same pages on both wikis, duplicating efforts (and a few edit wars as well), so three days ago, I gave it a nudge by creating a template that would mark when everything in a page had been added to the first wiki.

MovieFan1999, if you want to shift your editing over to the first/larger wiki, that would be the better one to adopt, and then I think you'd be in a position to make the request to have antagonists.wikia.com forward into antagonist.wikia.com (without a second s). I'm not really interested in adopting either one, but would have done so at some time in the future if only to get the content of the two merged together and forwarded. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 08:19, November 5, 2014 (UTC)
