Comments/Reasons for adoption: The wiki has not had an admin since 2013 and could use a few tweaks.


 * Hello. You’re active on the wiki, but I'm a little confused at some of the contributions you’ve been making. Looks like you're copying a lot of templates and project pages from Wikipedia, some of which don't really seem to fit into the wiki, and link to Wikipedia pages/projects.


 * For example, I was looking at this page, where a lot of the links still lead to Wikipedia - it doesn't really make sense to me for there to be a "maintenance category" used for "maintenance of the Wikipedia project" in a wiki that isn't Wikipedia. It seems (to me at least) that this would've been copied and pasted without much thought.


 * We see sometimes that users use content or templates from Wikipedia. This is totally fair, it's the biggest wiki available online, and can be a wonderful reference for editors/admins. But attempting to "remake Wikipedia" in a smaller wiki and bringing over all their templates, projects and organizative methods isn't really something we advise at all - and much of what they have in Wikipedia is operated by super large groups of people and many admins. A smaller wiki's local userbase may find it overcomplicated to use.


 * If you shift from those templates/pages to focus more on making edits on actual content pages relating to the topic of the wiki, you can still adopt it. If you choose to do that, contact me on my message wall, and then I'll be happy to complete your adoption. ReverieCode 18:17, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
