Re: Wiki Adoption
Hey there!

Thanks for contributing! It's great to hear you have an interest in adopting the wiki, but I'm not so sure if you'd be qualified. You joined last September, and only came back yesterday. You've made a lot of edits the last two days, but most are minor and only correcting typos.

When someone adopts a wiki, it's usually someone who has been editing for a while and made some worthwhile contributions. I can tell you've got a big interest, but there's not much to show for it yet. Don't take it to heart, I've tried adopting wikis myself and it's hard to do unless you're an active user and frequent contributor.

I'd say keep editing, I wish you all the best from there!

No problem! I'll say again, you seem really interested in this - motivation matters. Most "newcomers" (which isn't really true for you, it's awesome that you joined way back when) who petition for admin rights do it for the sake of being an admin. But in all my years you're one of the few I've seen who are genuine and want to help a wiki. Plus you've got a plan too, which is great.

I'm just a rollback, I have been for almost a decade, and while I don't really edit here or have much authority I truly do wish you all the best. I'm active on my own wiki, so if you ever need anything or have questions do message me!

Hi Toa Kopaka Nuva,

I'm not personally an admin (although I have made some significant changes to various pages over the past few years), so I have no real authority or say in what happens to this wiki page.

That being said, looking at your proposed list of changes I have a few comments.

- First, I wouldn't change the background image to be of the reboot era, this site is primarily dedicated to the original Bionicle Story, so if you were to gain access to the wiki, my suggestion would be to change it to something related to years 01 - 10.

- Second, The current colour design of the site reflects what I mentioned above, heavily evoking a similar style to the Glatorian theme of 2009-2010. Keeping it in-line with the classic story would probably be better.

- Third, While locking certain pages may seem like a good idea, it's usually better to leave them open, unless an editing war happens... those are really annoying. You never know when someone honest will come along with a interesting tidbit of information to add that everyone else missed.

Again, I have no actual control over the logistics of the Bionicle Wiki, but that's just my 2 cents.

Re: Adoption
Like the others said. If you want to adopt this wiki, you have to edit a lot and help this wiki out. :)

Idk about the other admins on me allowing certain users to become new admins (as I haven't use my full rights as admin in very very long time) and kinda forgot the basics of wiki coding.

Admin Toa Panakalego should be around though I know he been busy with real life. Turaga Kazi retired a long time ago (i think), but he pops up once in awhile.

If you need advices on how things used to run around here or need help finding missing info. Just message me, I might not be on as often as I used to, but I will reply back. :)

I admire your commitment, but man, I don't know if at this point in this wiki's life you can realistically reach 1500 edits as a next-to-new user. I've been on the site for 3 years now, and I only have about 300 edits. Like, idk, you don't want to try to edit things that don't need it.

I will think about it. Good luck on the editing count. I notice we have a chatroom box. Maybe we could use it to chat whenever either of us are online. --Knowledge can be anything or something you know about. (talk) 19:44, March 31, 2020 (UTC)

That would be helpful then me breaking everything while learning. lol XD Knowledge can be anything or something you know about. (talk) 22:17, March 31, 2020 (UTC)

Re: Update
It's all looking awesome man! Love the perfect blend of old and new in the background.

Great to hear you got in touch with Amanda, nice to know there are still admins floating around here. Looking forward to where things go!
