If a wiki has no active stewards, admins or bureaucrats, we will give you the option to adopt the wiki. Adoption will grant the adopting user steward and admin rights on the wiki.

Criteria for adoption

Wiki criteria

  • You must be the only active user on the wiki.
    • If there is more than one active user on the wiki, you must discuss the adoption and who gets user rights with the other user(s) and link to the discussion.
  • There must have been no active users making edits for the past 30 days.
  • Note: Spambots and staff deleting spambot edits are exempt from these rules.

User criteria

  • The adopting user must not have adopted a wiki in the last 30 days.
  • The adopting user must have made at least 100 constructive mainspace edits.
  • The adopting user must have shown an obvious interest in the wiki's topic.

Adopting a wiki

To adopt a wiki, simply fill out the below details, formatting it in the same way:

Name of wiki

  • Link to wiki: (Format like this: [[s:w:wiki subdomain|Name of the wiki]])
  • Username on wiki:
  • Link to your contributions page:
  • Reason for adoption: ~~~~

Other notes

ShoutWiki staff have the final decision over who adopts a wiki. Even if both the wiki and the user fulfill all the criteria listed above, ShoutWiki staff can refuse to give out user rights to the user at the staff member's discretion. If you fill in the adoption details incorrectly, ShoutWiki staff can refuse you any user rights.
