If they could do that, then it would make even less sense that they can't retroactively give the tag. I would guess the reason they can't grant the tag retroactively is that they can't change the founder id. I got in touch with the staff, and the person who responded said they were "physically unable" to change the Founder status of the wiki, even when I provided direct evidence that I was the rightful founder. Interesting. Then that supports the logic behind why they can't retroactively give the tag. However, it also implies that the founder id for your wiki was always 0. Looking at a few random wikis, it seems that a lot of older wikis have the founder id set to 0. One exception I found was large wikis like the marvel and dc databases; both of which list Jamie as the founder.
