Right well that got confusing
As some of you may be aware, due to commentary by the community, I decided to finally get around to filing a request for adoption to give me the power to delete spam and sweary comments. While I didn’t meet the new 1-edit-a-day-for-a-week, I bid that as I had a over 2 year over 200 edit history and was regularly responding to comments I should be granted admin rights anyway.

CzechOut agreed with this (thank-you!) and completed my request by saying he would grant me rights on the wiki. Except a day later I still hadn’t received the rights. So I started a thread on CzechOut’s message wall to ask if it was a bug. Then I looked at recent changes and realised what had happened.

Instead of granting rights to me (who had filed the adoption request), he granted rights to GFreaksOut (who was supporting the adoption request). Now GFreaksOut is a wonderful person who has done a great deal of good for the wiki but Wikia’s administration tools aren’t always straight forwards and I don’t want to burden him with learning them while being an only active admin.

Fortunately, CzechOut saw my message on his wall and fixed the misunderstanding so I am now admin.

So where to next?
So what am I planning on doing with the power? You would never understand you foolish mortal, mu-wa-ha-ha! 🧙‍♂️ But seriously though, what am I going to do with it:


 * Remove spam comments - over the course of today and possibly tomorrow I will remove all comments containing swear works on no meaningful content from the wiki.
 * Consider reappointing GFreaksOut as an admin - it’s good to have another admin as I won’t be very active and may disappear entirely.
 * Edit top-navigation - the wiki will (finally) become easy to navigate.
 * Change various features an add ons - I have already removed blog posts (if you want to write a blog post, just post it on your own message wall like this one) and have added in message walls.
 * Better design - the logo is changing and possibly a few other things. The wiki will likely end up looking like an open book, not having a dragon head tiled behind it.
 * And a lot of other cool stuff besides.

So stay bear with me 🐻 as we make this wiki more awesomer!
