Any other information: I work for HandCircus (creators of the Seabeard game, for which this Wiki was created). The Wiki was originally created by a User called Bane_Cane (https://seabeard-game.fandom.com/wiki/User:Bane_Cane) who was an employee of BackFlip - the original publishers of the game.

Unfortunately Backflip and Bane abandoned the Wiki in around 2015 (which is when he last edited the Wiki) and the Wiki has since only been updated occasionally by some regular members of the community.

In mid 2019, HandCircus regained 100% contractual ownership of the Seabeard IP (which was temporarily shared with Backflip) and began working full time on the game once again.

Towards the end of 2019, Backflip sadly went into receivership.

Today, the Wiki gets a lot of traffic from players however a lot of the content is very out of date and key new content is missing. However, there is no member of either the active community or employees of HandCircus that have admin rights to update the wiki properly.

In response to many direct requests from the community, we would therefore like to formally adopt the wiki to bring it up to date and facilitate it being a fully functional resource for players.

If you have any additional questions you can contact me at kate@handcircus.com.

Thanks for your time! : )

Hey there! In order to adopt a wiki, you must be editing every day for at least a week, as well as creating 1 new article in the mainspace. Unfortunately, you current do not meet the requirements. Don't forget to keep editing while your request is processed, since adoptions are based on your current contribution history. As well, I see that there are some active members. As such, you must create a blog or a discussion post stating your intention to adopt. Please wait for an official Fandom staff to respond. Cheers!

Hi there

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, as the Wiki is so out of date, its very hard to prioritise where to start updating - we need to do quite a lot of re-organising (e.g. some features of the game don't exist any more and some bits are completely missing, however the current structure isn't set up to accomodate them).

In the meantime, I have posted in Wiki forum to make sure anyone not on our Discord but that does use the Wiki is made aware that we've made this application: https://seabeard-game.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:7513

Thanks.


 * I confirmed that this person is an employee at HandCircus, makers of Seabeard, so I approved the adoption and left a message at the wiki. JoePlay https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/e/e5/FandomStaff.png (talk)  18:52, March 27, 2020 (UTC)
