A very active wikia for the game wizard 101 is being removed by the current admins. They don't care for the new format, and are moving the site. Most of it is now gone. If you attempt to look at the history, you can't even view the pages. People are still posting info to this wiki, and the admin are either using it for new wiki, or removing the info. I thought wikis belonged to everyone? If the community would still like to, and are using it, why should we have to deal with admin who have basically taken over owership to it? Any way to get their admin rights removed, and to locate the history pages? The wiki I am referring to is located here... http://wizard101.wikia.com/wiki/Wizard101_Wiki DeathKat 18:11, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

An admin would be able to go in and undelete those pages. Wikia will soon step in an run the wiki themselves--God (Pray) 18:13, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

They are probably doing the right thing (moving) but they are probably doing it the wrong way.

Was there any discussion about the move? Is there any such discussion still available?

The deletion log is at [http://wizard101.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/delete delete log and it can be easily reverted by wikia or some new administrator.

My advice to you is to ask the person who did the deletes about the reason for the deletion and the move.

A wiki with 8000 + pages listed does look like its been stripped to me (after checking a few random pages histories). Some pages relating to new material appears to have been removed by User:Nebrie and other pages by User:ErinEmeraldflame a few days ago, but a lot of the other deletions by admins look more like house keeping & only a few page appear to have been locked recently (based on a quick scan of the deletion log). You can also use special:RecentChanges to look what pages have been changed and when. Report specific pages with problems to wikiastaff if you cannot get a local admin to reinstate the 'lost' pages. If admins are leaving & vandalising wikia will de-admin them. I can understand them wanting to Fork following the new skin and other changes but antagonising the remaining community is wrong. -   BulldozerD11   talk    contribs    email   22:13, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
