This page is where you can request administrator and/or bureaucrat rights on communities without an active admin and/or bureaucrat team. Communities can only be adopted by an active community member, though, so before you post your request please be sure you meet the Adoption guidelines listed below.
Existing admins may be removed only if they have been inactive for more than one year.
Please note:
- Fandom-branded wikis (e.g. Community Central, SOAP Wiki, etc...) are never eligible for adoption.
- Although you may apply to adopt a wiki bearing the Official Wiki logo, adoption of these wikis is done at Fandom’s sole discretion and may not follow the rules set forth here.
- If the wiki has a wiki representative (see the wiki's Special:Community page), you should contact them regarding elevated rights. Do not proceed with an adoption request.
- You are allowed to submit only one adoption request per 24 hour period. Please keep this in mind.
Please allow up to one week (7 business days) for a response to your adoption request. Requests are generally — but not always — reviewed in the order they were received.
We look forward to having you adopt one of our communities!

- ↑ An "admin" here means either an admin/sysop or a bureaucrat. Logically, a non-admin should not be able to adopt a wiki "out from under" an active admin who is not a bureaucrat. So you may not adopt any wiki where an admin of any kind is active — not, at least, without their permission.
- ↑ By "content pages" we generally mean normal articles in the main namespace. In other words, edits to talk pages or blogs or Discussions, amongst other things, may not count. We need to see that you have some command of the subject of the wiki.
- ↑ For clarity, we need to see that your interest in editing the wiki is both current and active. Since it may take some time for Fandom staff to review your application, please remember to keep editing every day while you're waiting.
