The wiki in question is the Mr. Robot wiki, and the admin in question is LeverageGuru. The wiki has no other active administrators, so the site is now run like a dictatorship. In the article for Whiterose, a character central to the plot and now a main cast member, there is drama in the talk section regarding what gender pronoun should be used for her character (who happens to be transgender). LeverageGuru uses "neopronouns" such as "Xe" and "Xyr". However, there is a major concensus that these pronouns reduce readability and go against what the character *should* be called by.

The admin has locked the article and locked the talk page for the article, all the while being the only person who wants to use these pronouns. If you try to discuss this issue on his wall, he bans you from the entire wiki. I was banned for a year for trying to discuss the issue with him. Regardless of which side I take on the pronoun issue, this is absolutely not the way a wiki should be run.

What's the protocol for dealing with this? It's been years since I've been an active wiki editor, but this is clearly in violation of some basic wiki rules of thumb. Mr. Robot is a very popular show and I don't think its wiki deserves to be run by this kind of person.
