Hi. I'm so sorry you are dealing with this type of situation right after taking on adminship!

We allow multiple wikis on the same topic. And with some limitations, it is ok to copy content from one wiki to the other. However, the content has to be attributed per our terms of use, and has to be used to form the basis of a different wiki. In other words, you can't just make a direct copy of a wiki, even with attribution; but you can copy a bunch of pages on, for example, glee characters, attribute them with links back to the original wiki, and then use them as the basis for a glee fanon wiki. Does that make sense?

The way to handle this is to send a report to Special:Contact. Include a list of the copied pages or if it is all of the users contributions on the 2nd wiki, then a link to the user and a few examples of the copied pages.

If the user is ever threatening or harassing within the Wikia network, please let us know about that as well through Special:Contact as it is against our terms of use. The only blocks you can put on an account are chatbans and blocks against editing; there is no way to prevent somebody viewing the content. Disabling the account would be for a terms of use violation; for copying content we usually give people a chance to fix the problem first.

In terms of restricting editing by anonymous users; yes this is possible but we do discourage it as it can limit a wiki's growth. If you really wish to pursue it as an option you would need to request through Special:Contact (we need to have a record of it) and then start a community discussion including the information we give in the response; if the community agrees then we can restrict it.

Did that answer all your questions? You may also want to visit our founder and adin area here on central as you can find advice and help from other admins there....
