Hello. I am going to create the Boss Battle wiki, which showcase video game bosses and how to beat them. However, three words: I. Need. Admins. Where would I go about getting admins?
What's on your mind?

Hello! I am having trouble sending out announcements! It says that "the expire cannot be undone" when I want to expire an announcement to do another announcement. Any way this could be solved?
Recently, me and a few others in the Official Super Smash Bros. Crusade discord have been trying to make much needed changed to the game's wiki page (https://projectcrusade.fandom.com/wiki/Project_Crusade_Wiki). But one user in particular, @PKbrickboy , has been getting in the way. For over a year, they have created multiple pages for characters that have never been made for the fangame nor have any proof of said characters being in development. They are going against the first rule listed in the wiki:
"Unless you are an admin, DO NOT make a page. There are some dangerous people out there and we want to make sure that pages stay secure from the moment they're made. We also want to make sure that they meet the content standards set by other pages.If you would like to volunteer to make a page, join the forum and PM one of the wiki's admins with the information that would be displayed on the page."
Whenever other people deleted the pages for them, PK has consistently added back onto them. In addition, they have constantly made pages for newly released characters without filling any crucial information about the characters themselves. At the same time, various character pages haven't been updated in months.
There have been no active administrators on the wiki, while the owner themselves have not been active since 2012.
Is there any way that new administrators can be appointed without needing the owner to be active? I feel that, if other people can be given the role, the wiki can be given its much needed improvement.
(I can provide screenshots if need be)
Sincerely, Joey S.
There are tons of categories I need to add on my wiki but I don't know how
Im @Jaydenylyma alt account and i'm making a game in a wiki that have fans and for see news of my game i mention them, but today, fandom stop notify and today all the users say that fandom didn't notify them. This is not a big problem because they can enter to the wiki and see the posts but if a post is lost with other posts then the post gonna lost and my fans cant see.
The main problem here is today fandom stop notifing my fans.
So an admin on the Fanfiction corner wiki was trashing the wiki, so we blocked him. But we forgot to block his alts, so he used those to unblock himself and block us! If anyone can help, I would love help! Please block him and his alts!
What should I do with it?

A bad idea when I was real new to FANDOM
The wiki in question was Antisocial.wikia.com, or perhaps fandom.com. It had a lot of important archival information that I'd like back. I don't believe I deleted it, so I assume it was removed by mods. There definitely wasn't anything against the rules.
Thanks!

Right off the bat on the main page, I see vandalism. There ae plenty of admins and the most recent edit by one was on 12/17/2020 so it's probably vandalism by the admins. If you check the pages out you can see fanon and vandalism. I am sad to see a childhood show of mine was treated so harshly on it's wiki.
Hello, I cannot remove user rights as a Bureacrat from Pepsibro159. I am the owner of the wiki, however, I have learned that telling fandom staff to do so will work. Here is the wiki:

Remove user rights from @Pepsibro159 .
Thank you for helping.
I’m questioning this
Hello! There are a couple users on the Berenstain Bears Wiki who uploaded a large amount of non-wiki related images. What is the fastest way to delete these images?
I make this account for help but in my main account I have a wiki that is not too big but have admins, well, an admin bureaucrat was good but later for a reason he started to block everybody and do bas things, i removed the admin of him but he still having bureaucrat and i cannot remove it, why i cannot remove it and does not expire the bureaucrat so he now is blocking everybody for no reason an i hate fandom for not making able to remove bureaucrat, some help please
I'm one of the admins of the Friday Night Funkin' wiki. The admin that gave me admin rights, PicosSchool, does not seem willing to allow many changes on one specific character page on the wiki, Pico. On more than one occasion, when I created several edits to the page, his only decision is to simply revert everything and undo what I changed. According to him, he likes the page as it is and doesn't see any reason for it to be changed. Essentially, he wants to keep it the way he wants it to. No change, no improvements, nothing.
I find this overprotective behavior for this one character page contestable. It isn't too difficult to see that he has a deep fondness for the character, but I believe that this obsession is denying me any chance of making edits without the fear of it being all undone by him for unfounded reasons. This isn't a case of vandalism. Most character pages are currently protected due to this daily problem, but as an admin, I have access to edit protected pages, and I wouldn't have it if all I did were ruin pages with nonsense. However, out of all the pages currently in the wiki, he will not loosen his grip over this specific page and what revisions get made or not. He essentially owns it.
I don't think his excuse that "all other pages can be edited" is entirely valid. As an admin, I should be allowed to edit any pages. However, my conversations with him over this matter has not convinced him to look past his attachment and allow me to do much.
I absolutely do not want PicosScool's admin privileges revoked or modified in any way. His actions were never in bad faith. He has done a lot for the wiki and moderating it, even to the point of breaking down due to never having to experience hate from so many people online at once before. He suffered enough and I do not want him to suffer more because of me. He chose me to help on the wiki because I have some experience, am fairly active, and made many edits (none of which could be considered vandalism which was a huge issue when I arrived). He trusts me and I do not want to "turn on him" over what could be seen to many as a trivial matter, but I need to know if there is anything that can be done to convince someone like him to allow the edits I made on the page. As it stands, he is more content with full reverts because he likes the way the page is currently, meaning he does not want changes unless he decides there to be. In my eyes, this is very controlling and not an ideal behavior of any admins, even if for a single page out of dozens of others. I admit that I have had a bit of trouble in the past with accepting changes and undoing many edits that "broke consistency" but I have never gone out of my way to actively or passively discourage editing by anyone who genuinely cares or even those that just made a simple mistake or two.
Can anything be done by staff associated with FANDOM to aid me in resolving this problem? I feel like my words cannot reach him, so I'm asking if someone with authority could try to reason with him on my behalf. Or will I need to continue gritting my teeth and bear it until he suddenly decides to change his mind one day?
Hi, I made an old comment sometime back I regret making, but it seems the option to delete said comment has for some reason expired. Is there anyway to delete this comment or have an admin do it for me?
It's the second one on this page.

Please let me know if this is a good idea.
If you encounter an underage user, do you ban them until they turn 13 or forever?
