Adoption requests 86 -Eighty Six-

What is your username? Lolitazz - https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User:Lolitazz

Please link to the wiki here: https://86-eighty-six.fandom.com/wiki/86_-_Eighty_Six_-_Wiki

How many edits have you made on that wiki? I've contributed roughly 52 edits since joining the wiki on May 5th. I've been maintaining the wiki and adding more relevant information regarding the series.

How many days/months have you been editing there? One month.

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Sulina - Last edit: 12:42, March 17, 2019. Over 60 days of inactivity.

Any other information: I'm a big fan of this particular light novel series (anime) and I'd really like to have the ability to contribute to this community further by administering it and fully dedicating myself to the development of this wiki for the better. Looking to be able to actively take care of this wiki, as there's no active admin.

Edit: Updated information.

Hey there! While your edits to date qualify you for adoption, the wiki isn't actually adoptable.
Yes, there hasn't been admin editing in the last 60 days. But a couple of other users have been around, each with edit counts similar to yours. That means it's an active wiki, and so you'll need to start some sort of on-wiki conversation, inviting all recently-active users to join you in that conversation. Since Sulina hasn't been gone that long, you should probably also give them an invitation to join you in this discussion. You may find that they respond quickly, and then they grant you admin rights.
Fandom will always prefer that local wikis take care of their own promotions. Since Sulina has only been gone a few months, there's a reasonable chance that they'll be pretty easy to bring back to the community via a simple note on their Message Wall.
In any event, it's community consent that you need now, not adoption. Yeah, it may take you some extra time to do this outreach, but it'll also help you pull together a community after you get admin rights. For the long term survivability of a wiki, it's best to spend a little time on the social side of things, gathering together several active editors in your common cause.
Hope that makes sense!
