Can the person who created a wiki delete it? I'm asking this because I wanted to know if on a large wiki the "owner" decides to delete the wiki against the wishes of the other administrators

How to politely tell a user to stop doing something as an administrator of a wiki?

Lately a wiki I moderate has had a lot of bots appearing, making pages to promote a person (usually a singer) and then leaving. I’ve blocked them and deleted the content but this has been happening over and over with different bots. Is there any way I can prevent this happening? Or do I just need to keep blocking them after they’ve made the spam content.

I am an administrator + bureaucrat of the Bloxd.io Wiki. Before the wiki was created, the admins (who are mostly inactive nowadays) actually owned another wiki named the Bloxd Wiki, which they abandoned to create the first wiki mentioned above. They even stated that they will be abandoning it on the main page. As of the moment, the Bloxd Wiki is just an inactive wiki sitting there without any administrators.

I would like to ask how to close a wiki if you are not the administrator of it?

I found this out by the User Activity feature, and it has made me wonder something since I hand't known about this before.

My question revolves around the "Founder" role. (Shown in the image below, and mentioned in the title)

Since that marks you as the creator of the wiki, shouldn't the "Founder" be able to demote other Bureaucrats they appoint? I know this was likely asked before, but I want to address it more directly.

The Founder role (as shown above) supposedly puts them above Bureaucrats, and I believe that should put them in position to demote them as well, without the need of Fandom Staff assistance. This would be extremely important if that was the case as it allows for quick handling in case of mod abuse or otherwise stated, instead of having to wait on Fandom Staff to handle it for you, which could take hours at most depending on timing, and that can be devastating in the case of mod abuse. Not only that, with how I see the system, promoting someone to Bcrat as the Founder will practically put them at the same level of power you have, which I do not find optimal nor appropriate given circumstances regarding various scenarios that could occur, including in general.

I am just asking this question out of pure curiosity and addressing some concerns I have with regard to it. I'm still new to the Community Central, and I want to hear feedback in relation to some of my thoughts so I can get various points of view and see how others think of this

(Sorry if I put this in the wrong category ;w;)

Thank you!

Hallo! I have a query regarding something that appears to be a bug clogging up one of our special pages over at mario64hacks.fandom, where I'm an admin and bureaucrat.

In the page Special:BrokenRedirects, I have this:

Help:Forums (edit/delete) → Help:Wiki-style forums

Both the links take me straight to community central, as does clicking edit/delete. My question is: how do I get this out of our special page? As far as I can tell, this should only be in community central's special pages, I don't understand why it's taking up a space in ours. What makes it stranger is that when I check which pages in my wiki link to Help:Forums, there aren't any.

I've also got a similar problem with Special:WantedPages. By far, the most requested pages are Help:Getting Started and Help:Contents. Both of these link straight to community central, and I can't remove the requests for these pages because they were all generated by a Fandom bot years ago with automated welcome messages- I can't edit bot messages. There's loads more wanted pages like those, including a ton of Thread:1234 requests (these don't even seem broken, they do just take me to the thread) and module requests.

I know this is pretty long, I'm mostly interested in the redirect hanging around since it's the biggest mystery to me. If anyone knows anything/has any theories/knows any fixes, or even just wants to tell me a cool fact about a bug, I'd love to hear from someone.

Thanks,

Hello... it's me again. It's been a long time. As you know, I'm an admin on the Virtual Idol Wiki, and I want to add an automatic welcome message that would appear on the Message Walls of new users... how do you do that?

Recently, I have seen someone add a page that doesn't go well with the content my wiki focuses on, and that made me realize that.

I am an administrator for a wiki, and I made someone a mod for an experiment. but how to I change her back into a regular wikian?

Back again with more questions! Not long ago, I heard from some wiki/out of some conversation that sometimes admins will delete all of a user’s posts if the user requests it. I assumed this would only be in certain situations where it was actually mandatory such as if a user had revealed more personal information on the platform throughout their entire posts and would like to completely remove themselves from Fandom/the wikis they were on, etc.

It seems like such a big thing, and I couldn’t find any articles explaining whether admins/moderators should be considering “could you delete all my posts/comments?” sort of requests to reach a conclusion of whether the user’s request should be validated and complied with.

What I mean is, when/if a user might ask for all their posts/comments to be deleted, should admins/moderators . . .

• Comply with their request without needing reason

• Need a reason that IS valid to perform the action

• Be fluid—aka neither of the above options may independently apply to all communities, but rather it is completely based on the judgement and request handling style of each wiki’s staff team

I hope this wasn’t too confusing! All thoughts and direction and appreciated! Thankyou for reading.

I have a wiki that I don’t want to use anymore how do I delete it

Simple question

How to get a wiki on google search results? (or any webbrowser)

I'm an admin on the Orientation Wiki, and one of the Wiki Tasks is to "Upload A Wordmark". I can't figure out what the wordmark is meant to be/where to upload it, and the Help page for it redirects to Help:Theme Designer, which doesn't actually have a section for the Wordmark (as far as I could find). Can anyone help?
