Adoption:Amphibia Wiki

Adoption requests →

{|  ! Note before reading: I got a little carried away with some info, but I feel those parts fit better as a continuation of the topic they're in. They're not as important as the rest of the info, so I kinda separated them by coloring them with purple. Purple text can be ignored the first time you read this, and be read later.

'''What is your username?
Like in most places, my username is PrismastebanZ, though people usually call me just Prism.

Please link to the wiki here:

 * Main Page
 * My userpage (full of useful links)
 * Characters (one of the best-looking pages at the moment)
 * Hop Pop (one of the best character pages for now, though it still needs a lot of work)
 * Images (Most of them uploaded by me)

How many edits have you made on that wiki?
As of the time I'm writing this, I have edited mainspace 142 times, added 123 files, and edited/created templates 43 times (I got the numbers typing PrismastebanZ in Amphibia Wiki's Special:Editcount.

If I'm correct, the wiki had around 6 pages when I arrived, and right now it has exactly 34 (most of them added by me, though a lot of them are stubs, and will be more complete once my friend has the time to start helping me, he even created a fandom account to do so. He might not know much of WikiText, but he's pretty good with redaction, which I'm not good at and it's an important part that most articles are missing).

How many days/months have you been editing there?
I started editing on July 14, one or two days later after I finished watching all Amphibia episodes that were available until then. Amphibia is a pretty good show, I love it (almost a little too much, I finished watching those 16 episodes the day I started), and I'd love to help manage a wiki about it.

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it?
The only staff member is Butterfly2015, and the last and only day she edited the wiki was on April 28, the day said wiki was created.

Dedicated time
When I started editing said wiki, I was a bit busy, so the first days I didn't add that much, but once I got time I started editing as much as I could because the show entered on hiatus (no episodes for now) so I'll spend it adding of the already existing info, before new episodes with new info come.

Audience/Community
The majority of the current edits were made by me. However, I'm not doing this alone. I'm the one that knows the most about coding, so I'm the one building the basic part of the articles and templates, but I have some friends that are helping me rewatch the episodes and get screenshots, names and clarify words and sentences I didn't understand myself; they tell me the info or give me the pictures and I upload them. And I'm also part of Amphibia's subreddit and Discord, and there's plenty of nice people there that help me when I need to... Once I clean up more the wiki (at least when I have most episode's pages made and with infoboxes, right now I'm focusing on the characters' info), I'll ask if I'm allowed to advertise the wiki so more people have a look at it.

Though Amphibia premiered not even two months ago, so the community is still small

Response
Hello, there is another Amphibia Wiki, which is more active. Have you thought about merging the two wikis? It's always better for SEO. Let me know what you think of it :) Hypsoline (talk) 14:35, July 29, 2019 (UTC)

About merging
I did saw that there were like four of them: The first empty; the second being the one I want to adopt; and other two that had more content than the others (the one you linked and this one), so I was gonna pick one of those two, but I explored the forums and asked on the Amphibia Discord, and I noticed there were some conflicts between those two (like people copying and pasting info from one to another) and that one of them had the idea to merge but never got to an agreement, so I chose the one that had the "perfect" name (just Amphibia, not -pedia, -series or anything) instead because I didn't want to get involved and stuff.

Around a week later I read about "adopting" a wiki, and I guessed that all the other ones existed because the one with the perfect name was "abandoned" for the only staff member (one of the main reasons I want to be the new owner, so I could have access to the MediaWiki and wiki's style stuff) and couldn't be adopted until around 24 hours ago (60 days since admins' last edit), so I wanted to build the place at least enough to be decent when it was available for adoption.

I do still want to adopt the wiki, and while I am willing to accept a merging with the other wikis, I'm not sure if the staff of those wikis would want to, since both (Amphibiapedia and Amphibia-series) had trouble with the same topic before (though I haven't checked their forums in a while). But if they both do get to an agreement, being that in a week, a month or a year, I'll gladly accept the merging (as soon as they're fine with the "Character Portraits", coloring descriptions and other important changes I made). Though I still haven't read much about merging so I guess I'd have to at least read the fandom article before.
