'''How many edits have you made on that wiki? '''Over 3,800 edits.

'Have you edited there each'' day for the past seven days? '''Yes.

'''How many days/months have you been editing there? '''Since November 28th, 2020.

'''On the wiki you wish to adopt, please go to Special:ListAdmins. Then, list here the last time an admin edited and who it was. '''TheGreatEngine, latest edit was on July 11th, 2020.

Any other information: I made a discussion post asking other users if I should adopt the wiki, 18 voted yes, and 7 voted for no. I made multipile pages and has over 2,014 mainspace edits. I'm not blocked on any other wikis.


 * Although we do sometimes miss that there are local rules about giving admin rights, we try to enforce them when we see them. It's especially important when the community has taken the time to develop very specific and unique rules. That's clearly happened at Diary's RfA page.


 * My judgment, in light of those rules last edited by the community in late September, is that your discussion post flagrantly (if maybe unintentionally) violates the local procedures.


 * The rules at your wiki are exceedingly clear. Decisions shall not be made on admins on the basis of an up/down vote or majority rule. By using Discussions polls, that's the only thing that can occur. There's no scope to see why 7 people voted no, and that's important. Knowing that roughly 30% of people, so far, have voted no doesn't tell us much about why they're opposed. And that's a pretty hefty no vote, since on the Fandom side of the equation, we'd normally insist on (near-)unanimity.


 * Therefore, I'm going to respect the wishes of the community and require that you go through their formal RfA procedure.


 * You'll need to create an RfA according to the instructions on that page. Then you'll need to go around to the Message Walls of everyone who has edited within the last 2 months and point them to your RfA. You must include all bureaucrats and admin who have edited in any part of 2020. Yes, I know even Fandom has had a hard time getting them to respond, but — for the longterm health of your adminship — you've got to at least give them notice.


 * If no local bureaucrat has turned up to rule on your RfA, you can come back here, and we'll make a good-faith assessment of the results according to the local rules.


 * I know this is a bit of a drag, and not the result you were expecting. But, honestly, your first act on the wiki as admin cannot be to disregard the wiki's clear ruleset on becoming an admin.


 * Best of luck!
