If you want to pose yourself (or someone else) as candidate for taking over, do so below (don't forget the motivation!), and make sure you:

1. Have enough time to work on it.
2. Have at least created a few pages.
3. Have helped others with problems (through talk pages).
4. Know at least the basic Wiki syntax (the more the better).
5. Admin experience is a plus but not a requirement (its not THAT hard ;) )

@MoltenAsh: If you ever read this: I hope you see yourself that you have been pretty inactive lately. We don't want you to leave, but we need to do what's the best for the wiki. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 17:57, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think i should adopt because im kinda knew at the prof layton thing. I dont even have a game of prof layton but i started liking the prof layton story when my friend told me. Though i do have much experience in other wiki's i work on. - AdventureWriter28 09:30, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

I've seen you already asked to adopt another Wiki, and you can only adopt one a month regardless. ;) - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 18:17, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Since MoltenAsh is now back (at least for now), adoption won't be needed. We should still add some Admins though. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 09:46, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

Candidates

• User:Tjcool007 (T / C) - I know a lot about the wiki syntax, have been an admin on various wikis before and am prepared to edit a lot.
• User:SophiaDena13 (T / C) - As you can see, I have improved most of the major pages of this wiki, and have found loads of images and photos. I am prepared to spend a lot of time on this if necessary.
• User:Trace Barkley (T / C) - After looking through my contributions, you may notice that most are not mainspace but structural. I'm mainly here to make this site look great, but to do so I need Administrative rights. (Especially with the new wiki setup.) With Administrative rights, I'll make sure this wiki will look better than any wiki before it!

• Mewgeta: I know I am the Admin from the german Wiki. But I have asked you to make me an admin, you said no. I am asking now again. Many pages here makes not sense
  • -> [[Game Manual of Style]] It's a project site so => [[Professor Layton Wiki:Game Manual of Style]]
  • -> [[Featured Articles]] What is that? A Template? then please => [[Template:Featured Articles]]
  • -> [[Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - Puzzle 001: Party Crasher]] Isn't it a little bit to big? => <code><nowiki>[[Party Crasher]]</code> is okay!
  • -> [[PUKEY RULES]] WHAT IS THAT!? I added the delete tag but no admin has deleted this "article".

These are examples, but you know what I mean! So I am asking you now again, could you make me and the other 2 guys up before me, too? Thanx :P --Mewgeta 00:51, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

To Mewgeta

• Game manual of style: Yeah, should be moved.
• Featured Articles: Nope, that's no template. A template is supposed to be used on Multiple pages. This page is only transcluded to the Main Page. It could be made a subpage of the Main Page I guess though.
• The long puzzle name, see here.
• The Pukey thing isn't removed due inactive Admin. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 10:29, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Still back

Heyy guys, still here, and i'm gonna reply on all of your posts on here in the following days. All right, let's see... The admins. Umm, i've no idea how to make someone an admin, which shows exactly how inexperienced i am. I understand that we need more admins to keep this wiki healthy. If someone could just tell me how, then i can help. MoltenAsh 17:29, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

@MoltenAsh: To make someone an admin, just go to this link (http://layton.wikia.com/wiki/Special:UserRights) AdventureWriter28 02:14, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Since it's a wiki page you can also link it normally: Special:UserRights ;). MoltenAsh: If you don't know how to do something, visit The Help Wikia. It even helped me :P - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 10:34, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

All right, so I'll just have to enter someone's username and edit their userrights. Well, sounds simple, thanks! But I'm not sure who we want as extra admins. Of course I've seen some people who would like to try it, which includes you, if i recall correctly. (Not being able to search the wiki while posting is annoying >.<) Also, about the Help Wikia: There's a lot it doesn't explain, which makes it so I don't use it much. Oh well, i'll give it a try again the next time I'm confused. MoltenAsh 21:10, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

If the Help wiki isn't enough, try wikipedia:Help:Contents or mw:Help:Contents, those contain even more help than the help Wiki, though not Wikia specific help. As for who, I dunno, take the ones you think would do best. Personally, I'm not someone who wants to just "try" it, I know very well how Sysop rights work and what I would do with them ;). (My first action would be to change the logo to the one I posted below if you like it :P). - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 21:33, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

OK

I've been given Admin rights by Sannse, a Wikia staff member :) I've made Trace an Admin so he'll be able to mess a bit with the theme & stuff. I'll promote the rest later (little busy atm ;) ) @MoltenAsh, don't worry, you're still in charge, I'm just taking some difficult jobs aways from ya ;) - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 16:52, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

SophiaDena13 made Admin - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 09:19, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, can i ask for at least Rollback Rights so that if there's any vandalism, we can fight against it. AdventureWriter28-Leave Message Anytime 10:51, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

There isn't really any vandalism atm. (And we're active enough to face them). But if there is more vandalism, you'll get the rights. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 18:50, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

Wattz2000

Wattz2000 wishes to become an Admin on this wiki. Before I give him the rights, I wanted the input from the other Admins first. (We're a community, so nobody does anything alone here). Anyone else can comment as well of course. As for me, I don't really have a problem with it, but let's not make it a habit to make every active user an Admin. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 14:47, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

I really think I could make an excellent addition as I have increased about 90% of the caracter's articles by adding in puzzle sections and other infor about them. I have also made new sections in other articles such as St.Mystere, Dimitri Allen, and Folsense Museum. I hope you'll make the right decision. Vale. Wattz 15:24, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Well, even though i'm not an admin, i do have experience in other wiki's. I checked through Wattz edits in the history page and he really does add a lot of info. I agree with hime that he should be and admin. AdventureWriter28-Hiya! :)(X_X)(0_0)(^_^) 03:44, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I think he/she should be an admin as well, but you really need to work on spellings, or I'm going to have to chase you through the pages you edit.

SophiaDena13 07:21, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

If the other Admins can't be bothered to reply I'll make the change later today. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 10:13, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

(unindent).... Well, that was to be expected. Anyway, your first task as an Admin is to update the Site news :P - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 20:08, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thank You!! I think I just did that. It is on there right? Wattz 20:38, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

You did, though with a small error I corrected. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 20:57, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

I'm fine with the chang- oh. Welcome to adminship! May great work follow. =Trace Barkley|GFX 03:22, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

Bureaucrat

Umm. I was now wondering if I can become a bureaucrat on this wiki. I have contributed several times and am on most of the day. I think I can handle the responsibilities of a bureaucrat so...can I be one? Wattz2000 20:44, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't reply to this as the spotlight prevented us from making Admin changes. I also have to be careful when taking bureaucrats, as they can not be demoted if they're unsuitable. Either way I support this, but we need more input. I hope that if you're made bureaucrat, you'll wait for enough input as well, instead of just making changes after 1 person approves. - Tjcool007 ^(Talk) 09:36, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Banana Split

Hi, I wanted to request sysop rights here. I've made a good number of edits on the wiki, and I've been a sysop on other wikis before, so I know how to work the tools.
I've been working more with images lately (like the Parrot game images and character art), and there's been a couple times (and more that I've been avoiding) where I needed to ask someone to delete/move files. Having the sysop right would make that easier to do also. -Banana Split 21:26, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hrmm. I have indeed witnessed your helpful edits. Not being rude, but a lot of your edits have been small, but look at me, 4900 or so of my edits are with images. Those redirects are very helpful, although they don't seem so, they are a necessity. Anyway, I would love to give you some rights, but as a regular system operator, I can't give admin rights and that's sort of annoying. I put a post saying I wanted Bureaucratic rights, but nothing happened with that and it gets worse with Tj not being here as much anymore. Oh, I'm rambling again; to be an admin you must contact Tjcool007 (Our "active" Bureaucratic) or MoltenAsh (Our "inactive", but central Bureaucratic). I guess what I'm saying is, one of those people will give the rights, and other admins (Sophia and Trace) will post here as well, giving our input. PS: You have my support. --The Puzzle Master 02:15, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

You can see your actual edit count at Special:WikiStats/breakdown. It took you quite a while to catch me up Wattz (Even when your edit count was 2000 more than mine, you were still listed below me :P). I may not make as much edits anymore, but I'm still active daily... I even coded us a new subnavigation thingy yesterday (yep, custom coded by me, so we're the only ones to have it on the entire Wikia). As for this request, I support it, but we need more input. - Tjcool007 ^(Talk) 09:36, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

I see nothing wrong with you becoming a sysop. It seems like the Admin to user ratio is a little bit off, but each time the candidate is real deserving of the title. Overall, I did note that a lot of your edits were those puzzle redirects, but I also noticed that you're taking the whole of the puzzle project by the horns with Wattz. Reading over the shenanigans, sysop rights could have saved you and your project quite a bit of heartache. So again, I support the move. =Trace Barkley|GFX 19:35, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
