Was it too immature or was the staff bad? Can you please tell me.
What's on your mind?

I JUST MADE A WIKI AND PEOPLE ARE SPAMMING CLOWN EMOJIS AND GARBAGE AND TURNING IT INTO A WIKI PAGE. HOW DO I BAN THEM?
https://destroyeds-towers-of-hell.fandom.com/f
Over a year ago I have accidentally stumbled into a comment of a page of our wiki that didn't show up in Social Activity. I found it strange, but I didn't report it to Fandom. A half a year ago this happened again and now it happened again - now with multiple comments. Our wiki is small and seeing every comment is very important to me, so I know where to make improvements. It's really strange to me, because the comments show up in their "Activity" > "Comments". Below are screenshots.
Although you can't see that it's the 10th January, you can check it yourself or take my word for it.
I have found no relevant post about this issue. Is this a bug? I don't think it's a caching issue, because I have seen this bug happening after days as well. Should I report it to Fandom? I think I should.
Here is the link to our Social Activity: https://nonograms-katana.fandom.com/wiki/Special:SocialActivity
And the link to this user: https://nonograms-katana.fandom.com/wiki/Special:UserProfileActivity/3TripleS3?tab=comments
Edit: It would appear than even some comments from this user don't show in their Activity, but do appear in Social Activity. And earlier examples included different users. I can find the comments, but the Social Activity doesn't show that many days in the past, so it's not worth looking.
I'm trying to adopt the Animal Jam Fan Ideas Wiki, but for some reason it says "There were problems submitting your request." What's wrong? I've been editing for 7 days on that wiki, is there another problem why I can't adopt it?
So I'm on a wiki where the wiki owner and admins have not been active in a very long time, and I'm extremely frustrated with this because the wiki is a bit unorganized, but my main concern is that the environment on the discussion board is extremely toxic. Members have broken community guidelines several times and there's even been instances of vandalism which went mostly unpunished (one of the vandalizers did get his account banned, but he made an alternate account to join back, which breaks community guidelines).
Currently the wiki is mostly dead, the people that used to be active are not active as much anymore, but it's still kind of a mess and I can't do anything about it because I have no admin powers. I've tried to apply as one but like I said all staff are inactive. What do I do?
In the Community Creation Policy, there seems to be rules against creating wikis on non-notable people. While this mainly seems like a reasonable policy, it then goes on to include YouTubers and other social media personalities. I do not understand this, as being a YouTuber and/or social media personality is actually a career, and therefore can easily be notable people. This also confuses me as if this is a rule, how come there are such a large amount of wikis about YouTubers? Hell, there is even an entire [[wikia:youtube:YouTube Wiki|wiki]] dedicated to YouTubers and YouTube channels, and it has existed since 2006, meaning it has been around for a total of 16 years. So if this is a rule, not only is it a questionable one, but it is also by far one of the most ignored rules - not just by users - but very clearly to some extent by staff.
Hello, i had forgotten to ask this earlier. My question is, how can i create a user rights group?
After this exchange of him claiming to be 'unable to speak english', and speaking in the Hmong Daw language, he apparently 'unblocked' Homie Robot but then went on a highly suspicious alternate account with zero edits, zero chats, but with admin perms and blocked him again.
Context: My friend named Homie Robot was mysteriously banned from a fandom which he wasn't even in. The reason was: "Don't want them editing the wiki". Thoughts? He's completely uncooperative. Important to note that my previous message was mysteriously deleted from his message wall.
The messages he's been sending in Hmong are along the lines of:
"I don't speak English."
"I don't know what your talking about."
The funniest thing is that he's literally editing pages in English as he talks to me.
Do I have to NOT be banned from a wiki? I was banned unfairly after months of bad treatment from a wiki and If I appeal a block most likely, It would get declined. I was also banned on the Animal Jam Classic wiki from a bot, I want to adopt 2 of the following wikis:
And
Both wikis are extremely inactive, With Pet story’s last post begin well over months ago (2 months ago to what I remember.) and Tunnel Town’s last post begin around 2 days ago, And last updated post was well over a day ago.
None of the mods are inactive on both wikis, Is there any way I can adopt both of these wikis?
Also, Extra: Pet Story Wiki’s Moderators have not been active since the start of the Pet Story wiki. And Tunnel Town’s moderators were last active around 2017.
The users on my wiki are saying that it's somehow blocking users from adding pages, it's saying "no such special page" and "you have requested an invalid special page". But when I made a page with an alt account that was not an admin or mod, it worked. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
How do I make someone a mod on my wiki? I heard that you have to go to some kind of Special:UserRights page, but how do I get there?
Nobody is coming to my wiki, I don't wanna advertise at the moment but. I really need help with my wiki. My brother never helps with anything I create. And nobody is really helping on my wiki, what do I do?
Hi I’ve recently been blocked on a wiki that I didn’t even know about but the reason was this.
So I made a user into a bureaucrat in my wiki and I'm still not sure if I want to keep him from my team. How do I change him back into an editor.
There is a user who keeps criticizing our wiki and us and calling us immature what do we do about this?
I blocked an admin for spamming and creating uneccesary categories but then he told me on a different wiki that he could unblock himself. I'm not sure if he can or cannot unblock himself. Is it possible for him to unblock himself?
All wikis such as Mini World Wiki, Minecraft Wiki, Zelda Wiki, Terraria Wiki are belonged to Gamepedia. Can a wiki become Gamepedia's?
We can’t get rid of a certain user that has created numerous alternate accounts and continues to post nsfw content on a Roblox wiki. Our mod is inactive, so he can create as many alt accounts as he wants. If I fill out a SOAP form, she gets banned, create an alt, and keep posting nsfw content. Could a moderator step in to help us? We don’t want this wiki to get deleted because of a one determined user.
So maybe this has been asked before but, if a user reveals theyre age and it turns out they have been posting since before 13 but now they are older, there is no penalty?
Our community is under attack by minors posting nsfw content in the general chat. This is a Roblox fandom, and as such there are quite a bit of children on this site, and that is likely the motive of the attackers. Both moderators are (and have been) offline, so we cannot ban these users. If any staff see this post and wish to help, you can access the wiki at this link:
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
