Adoption:Requests

This page is where you can request administrator and/or bureaucrat rights on communities without an active admin and/or bureaucrat team. Before you post your request, please make sure you are active on the wiki and that you meet the guidelines listed below.

Following a successful adoption, you will receive administrator rights for 30 days. After this period, please reapply for permanent administrator and bureaucrat user rights with the "extend permissions" forum. A Wiki Specialist will review your request, which will be determined based on activity and rights usage.

Requests are generally — but not always — reviewed in the order they were received.

We look forward to having you adopt one of our communities!

Guidelines

You can adopt a wiki if...

The admins/bureaucrats have been inactive (not editing or engaging with the wiki) for at least 60 days.
You haven't gained rights or created another wiki in the past 60 days.
You are not blocked in another Fandom wiki.
You are contributing to the wiki regularly, and your interest in it is both current and active. This includes:
- Editing content pages on the wiki each day for at least a consecutive week prior to the time that your application is submitted. (Editing images, categories, or Discussion posts may not count, as we need to see that you have some command of the subject of the wiki.)
- You have created at least one new page in the main namespace (the more the better).
- Your edits are in good faith, and using the correct language for the wiki (i.e.: English for English wikis).
You make an effort to talk to other users, such as leaving friendly and encouraging messages on user talk pages and responding to questions on article talk pages, forums, or blogs.
You keep the wiki looking well-tended and up to date -- updating news sections, add new pictures and videos related to the topic, etc.
The wiki is not considered as a duplicate (a wiki about the exact same topic already covered by another, usually larger and more active wiki).

You cannot adopt a wiki if...

There are admins actively editing the wiki.
You became an admin or created a new wiki in the past 60 days.
You are blocked in another Fandom wiki.
You haven't been contributing to the wiki's content pages for at least a consecutive week.
The community is considered as a duplicate of a larger and more active wiki.
The wiki is not eligible for adoption for another reason. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Fandom-branded wikis (such as Community Central, SOAP Wiki, etc.)
- Personal or sandbox wikis.
- Wikis with a topic that is exceedingly obscure, and page view statistics suggest a very small audience. As explained in our Community Creation Policy, we may even fully close such wikis.

Other cases and notes

Before you submit a request

You may apply to adopt a wiki bearing the Official Wiki logo, but adoption of these wikis is done at Fandom's sole discretion and may not follow the rules set forth here.
You are allowed to submit only one adoption request per 24 hour period. Please keep this in mind.

Active communities

If there are no admins, but other users are very active, you would need to reach out to the users (if it's one or two) or to the whole community with a public discussion to ask if they agree with your adoption. You should provide a link to this discussion in your request.
- The discussion needs to be in the wiki (a discussion or blog post, not Discord or another site). Polls are not accepted as a way of voting.
- Users must have at least one week to respond. Requests typically are successful if the response is positive, or if no one answers.
If you're already an admin and want to request the bureaucrat role, all you need is approval from the other active admins.
Existing admin/bureaucrat rights may only be directly removed if the users have been inactive for more than one year.

Blocks

If you are blocked in another wiki, you could try to appeal and have the block lifted to be able to request an adoption. However, if you think the block is completely unfair (such as in cases of abuse of admin rights), you could mention this in your request. We also recommend checking how blocks should be appealed for advice.

Applying for permanent rights

After applying for temporary adoption, users may apply for permanent administrator and bureaucrat rights here.
For the next 30 days, please make sure you are consistently active and appropriately using your new user rights. Failure to do so will result in your request for permanent rights to be declined.
The 60 day limit for adoptions only applies to your initial temporary adoption. The clock will not reset when you receive permanent rights.

This form works best on a computer or tablet.
