Adoption:Requests

Is the wiki inactive?

• No sustained editing by other users. If there are other users please start a blog post or other public discussion of new leadership before making your request and allow users at least a week to respond.
• Admins have been inactive for 60 days or more
• Note: if you're an existing admin looking to gain bureaucrat rights, get approval from the other active admins, then let us know in your request

Is the wiki’s topic duplicative?

• If you request to adopt a wiki that is duplicative, we will likely deny the adoption request — and encourage you to edit on the most popular of wikis about the topic.
• We may close such wikis, and/or explore a merger of the two wikis.

Are you eligible to adopt?

• You may adopt a wiki only if 90 days have passed since you were made an admin on any other wiki, whether by appointment or adoption.
• You are not currently blocked on another FANDOM project

Are you contributing to the wiki's content?

• You have principally edited content pages on the wiki for at least a week (the more the better)
• You have created at least one new page in the main namespace (the more the better)
• You are currently editing the main namespace

Are you building the community?

• You make an effort to talk to other users -- you've left friendly and encouraging messages on user talk pages and responded to questions on article talk pages, forums, or blogs.
• You keep the wiki looking well-tended and up to date -- update news sections, add new pictures and videos related to the topic, etc.

Does the wiki's topic have a natural audience?

• We don't allow the adoption of personal or sandbox wikis.
• If the topic is exceedingly obscure, and page view statistics suggest a very small audience, we'll probably deny the request. As explained in our Community Creation Policy, we may even fully close such wikis.
