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

How many edits have you made on that wiki? 111 (at the time of this posting)

How many days/months have you been editing there? 6 days

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? September 22nd 2017 by FishTank

Any other information: Even though I haven't technically been editing for a week it's clear The Orville Wiki has no active Staff or anyone to deal with it's large number of maintenance and content issues. It needs a Manuel of Style, a Chat, a Forum, well fleshed out pages, staff, etc. This can only be done if someone active there has Bureaucratic rights. Which unfortunately, no one currently does.

Hello. As you know you need to adopt the wiki if the bureaucrat or admin been inactive for 60 days or more. Or, you can ask on his talk page. Have a good day! 04:14, October 9, 2017 (UTC)

This is special case. This wiki was created by a staff member under the Adopt-a-Wiki program to be adopted. So the 60 days admin rule is waved (or at least I assume so, this is actually the wiki from that program I have seen adopted) but there are other users editing so a blog or discussions post will need to be made.

You should ask FishTank (Fandom staffer who created the wiki) directly to speed up the process. I helped him with the initial setup and I'm pretty sure he'd like to pass on the responsibility ASAP. Also, if the adoption succeeds, I'd like to make a better wordmark for it (I made the first one, but it got replaced), so contact me. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 11 Oct 2017 10:36 AM Pacific

I have noticed your great contributions, and hope they keep coming. I have, admittedly, been focused on some other communities, and I hope to devote more time to The Orville soon. At this time, I would suggest you continue to flesh out those pages and build a Manual of Style, as you mentioned (and to aid in that, I'm bumping you to Content Moderator). When you have contributed for more than a few days, I'd be more comfortable turning over admin responsibilities to you. In the meantime, I'll turn on Chat. Before you go activating Forums, keep in mind that Discussions is active and serves most of those needs. Thanks! FishTank (wall) 19:26, October 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. The "adopt a wiki" program was designed to work with the regular adoption process here, but Miiohau is correct; in order to adopt the wiki you need to create a community conversation about new admins - either a blog or discussion post. Keep editing, and let me know on my wall to check back again after it has been up for a week.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:06, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
