Adoption:Moshi Monsters Answers Wiki

Adoption requests →

What is your username? Luke the Mac Lover

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

How many edits have you made on that wiki? 13

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

On the Special Pages → Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Oza123456 09:50, 19 December 2010

Any other information: I haven't been actively editing in a while, but I plan on starting later. By the time a staff member sees this I will be actively editing. The homepage needs a huge revamp. It needs renamed to Moshi Monsters Answers rather than Moshi monsters Answers. Administration rights would help me perform both these actions.

Have you made at least one new page yet? - IvyLover  ( talk  |  contribs ) 18:21, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Hello! You'll want to make sure you're active everyday, from now until Merry responds. You'll also want to make at least 1 new page, this could be asking a question. As long as you do those two things, and you're not blocked on any wikis, you should get the Admin spot! AwesomeOrange89 (talk)

If you're blocked on another wiki, you can explain your block. Being blocked on other wikis doesn't affect an adoption, as long as you can explain why you shouldn't have been blocked. I got blocked on a few wikis by enemies, like the PGBC Wiki by AbercrombieFizzwidget (AKA under-aged sockpuppet of ThatJarofJam, who I believe isn't under-aged NOW), even though I had good edits and wasn't violating the rules, though he only blocks me because I'm his enemy. I also got blocked on wikis because I was accused of being under-aged, and it all started at the Gravity Falls wiki. If you explain your block, staff will check your contributions and come to a conclusion on whether you can adopt or not. I also got blocked on the Awkward Wiki and the block reason is completely false. I am not under-aged, I was innocent at first and always wanted to stay in that position, but other users had to make ME the bad guy. Anyway, this is not a place to discuss blocks we all had on Wikia. But, being blocked on a wiki doesn't mean you can't adopt, as long as there's not a very good reason for the block, and you can explain it to staff. - IvyLover  ( talk  |  contribs ) 18:49, October 12, 2014 (UTC) Well, just for final clarification, Merrystar has stated that she reviews all current blocks, and their details. So, if you are blocked on a wiki, just give a brief explanation of the situation.

I think making a page on an answers wiki implies you want to know something, but I know everything I want to know about the topic.


 * With that being an answers wiki and you knowing everything you need to know about the topic, I believe Staff can open an exception in this case. (The Great Lord David (talk) 20:19, October 12, 2014 (UTC))


 * I know on WikiAnswers, you can make a answer even if you already know the answer. They do that because you have to get 15 questions (something like that) to be a Supervisor (admin in this case). AwesomeOrange89 (talk)


 * Some answers wikis really don't like people asking questions just to answer them themselves, but you can probably make a page in a different namespace which counts towards the "new page" total. The adoption guidelines don't specify mainspace pages! Have you created any category pages (to link categories into the category tree) or any template pages? They're easy ones to make, but contribute a lot to the structure and organisation of a wiki. 02:28, October 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've definitely have created many templates and categories in my time. I've always thought of you having to create mainspace pages, but maybe not. Joe is definitely the Adoption master here, so whatever he says normally is the right answer. AwesomeOrange89 (talk)


 * Hello. For adoption we are interested in having people create content pages, not just templates or categories.  Luke, you have made a good start to editing but will need to keep at it for at least a few more days in order to be eligible to adopt.  There are plenty of un-answered questions to work on, and there is no problem with asking a question and answering it if you feel it is something people may want to know.  I will put this request on hold. Please remind me on my wall to check again early next week. -- Wendy  (talk ) 17:12, October 17, 2014 (UTC)
