Hello!

Thank you so much for responding to my adoption request. As far as long term goals for the wiki goes, I would love to see the inactive Hairspray Musical Wiki eventually merge with the larger Hairspray Movie Wiki to become just Hairspray Wiki. The Hairspray Musical Wiki was abandoned shortly after its creation and mostly just duplicates information that already exists on the Hairspray Movie Wiki. Meanwhile, the Hairspray Movie wiki, while founded to cover the two Hairspray films, quickly branched out to cover the musicals as well. The Hairspray musical was based on the 1988 film. It in turn inspired the 2007 film, which is a musical, unlike its predecessor. As such, it is difficult to discuss the movies without discussing the impacts of the musical. I think that a merger would make information easier to find for those using the wiki.

However, a merger is not the purpose of my adoption request. Even if that never happens, I would still want to continue to grow and improve the wiki. Currently, multiple pages are locked by past admins, but need to be edited. Because there was no active admin, vandalism pages were not being deleted. Eventually, they were renamed and the pages were turned into something useful, but the old problematic redirects remain. I would like to update the menu and main page so the site is easier to navigate. I would also like to work on promoting the Wiki and building the community so we have a larger active team of both contributors and moderators.

Thank you for your time.
