Oh, that is probably what you meant. Sorry, didn't read that correctly.

Just as Fubuki said, you can contact him here or any other wiki he frequents, but be aware not to spam him. If he doesn't respond, I would wait a short period before trying again. If he refuses to respond over a month period, I would assume he has no intention of speaking with you and simply move on.

Should he respond, stay cordial, stay calm, and stay collected. Do not get angry, do not accuse, and do not try to shift the blame to other parties. Simply accept responsibility for misbehavior or try to reasonably argue why your ban was incorrect, but do so in a tone that isn't "You're plain wrong". Since this admin is the gatekeeper, you have to impress him with your statements to allow him to let you pass back to the wiki. There is a big difference between

"What I said wasn't intended to sound racist, and I apologize if it did. I won't do it again now that I know that is wrong"

Vs

"That wasn't racist. Let me back because I wasn't being racist"

It may not seem like much, but admitting you won't do it again and being polite about it is much better than being curt and dismissive of the charges. Remember: You want to get back in, he doesn't have to let you back in, so you have to convince him. Your goal is to prove that you won't do it again, or that it was a misunderstanding.

If the admin denies your appeal, then it's up to you whether you continue asking or not. A general rule of thumb for some wiki's is to wait 1 year, then contact the admin who blocked you and ask to be allowed back in. If said admin is no longer an admin, or has left the community after the year period, contact a new admin on the wiki and ask to be unbanned. Like before, cordial, calm, and collected. Do not bash the admin as being unfair or 'dumb'. The new admins may have liked that admin, or maybe that admin didn't leave, but is on vacation, and now you'll be in for it when they tell him what you said.

Do not do what this user, Apro did, or what other users did that have been here, where they jump on CC, demand the admin to be removed due to a variety of reasons, and get angry at this admin in rather spiteful ways. It doesn't help your case, it only damages it more. It makes you look like you have a serious anger problem when on the wiki, or that you're very spiteful, a quality nobody wants to deal with online. Remember: Admins are not paid to do their job, they're volunteer. They do it because they like to, not because they have to. When you work a cashier job, you are being paid to be polite and nice, and failing to do so results in losing a job. On wikia, there is no such requirement. As long as he isn't being racist and violating the ToU, he can be as "mean" as he wants to be. Many times what people can "mean", "rude", or "stubborn" can be interchanged with "blunt", "straightforward", or just plain "strict". A lot of times these admins you complain about will find these threads, and are allowed to factor in whether they will allow you back or not based on your statements and posts in these threads. Thus, as a rule, don't make threads demanding a user be removed.

If it truly IS that bad, then, yes, contact wikia via Special:Contact, but do so after taking available channels. Remember, this is for ToU violations

If the admin is destroying the community by being so incredibly bad that he's taking the wiki down with him, then it's time for a vote. Contact members of the community, have them hold a public vote on your wall here on CC where they each vote by posting an agreement or disagreement (no polls) whether they want said user dropped down from their rights. If the vote is unanimous, then the user will be demoted. Realize this is not as easy as it sounds, and requires the community to get heavily involved.
