User blog comment:Harrypotterexpert101/Potential Adoption: Community Discussion!/@comment-26339491-20190617183601

2 cents from Fandom staff here:

There's not necessarily a need to vote for an admin right this instant. If the only argument Harrypotterexpert101 has against him is that he's new, he could continue editing the wiki as a regular user for another month, showing he is not just qualified but also dedicated to this specific community, and then a vote could be held.

Another thought: With another book and movie coming out, this wiki will likely see a revival, because there will be new information to add. Right now, only Discussions is really active here, and most users there are largely unaware of how wiki editing works or what is going on on the wiki side of things. Many of those users might become more involved down the road and turn into editors, though, so I'd give them a chance to weigh in, too. The choice of admin will affect them, too.

Perhaps the ultimate vote could be conducted there, with links to this blog post and any related forum discussion, and an announcement to the whole community (I can help set this up)? There can be a rule stated at the beginning that your vote only counts if you have edited the wiki before and/or at least contributed 15 Discussions posts.

This is just a suggestion - you guys can decide how you want to proceed.
