As I saw yesterday, an inactive bureaucrat returned from hiatus and, on a sudden, gave you adminship. As we both know, that's not the way things work around here. You posted there more than a year ago, and the reasons for your rejection are in Night's reply to you. You could not post in this thread because it was closed, of course, because we have no need for new admins. One can assume that Takoto didn't know about this thread and the methodology we've used for promoting admins since she ceased regular activity a long time ago, and that is the subject here. One cannot simply attain adminship on a sudden, without the prior knowledge of the wiki at large, and the current admins especially.

You're active, you're helpful enough, but still, you lack the qualifications for a proper admin, for much the same reasons as before. Takoto likely used your recent spate of activity as a quick, spur-of-the-moment stimulus, and here we are now. While Night and I aren't the most active admins, we keep an eye on the wiki, both of us coming on at least a few times every day, often throughout the day, to check on recent changes, and are here to do what needs to be done, when it is needed. While your enthusiasm in gaining the higher position and aiding the wiki is appreciated, you still require the knowledge and proper understanding of the responsibility this position entails. Knowledge is the chief field you could use work in. One day, a new admin will be needed, the thread will be reopened, and your request can be resubmitted and summarily approved there. Until then, you're likely to receive demotion, most likely to a rollback. The reasoning is worth repeating, and, in a nutshell, it is because an inactive bureaucrat simply has no business coming back on and choosing users to be admins at random.

Further, as I've just seen, even a Wikia star and a member of the VSTF deems your ascension unnecessary. I'm sorry, but if you aren't even wise to the conditions that must be met to adopt a wiki, you're certainly not fit to run one yourself. Most of my edits have gone to my user page, yes, but that's primarily because of a lack of time and energy for any sort of large-scale edits on the wiki. I'm not going to call myself a super-active admin, but I do my duties where necessary, as I've said above. I can't skim through things like I used to, but I watch for vandalism et al and remove it, and it's mostly been kept to a minimum. Certainly, the wiki's current admins have not gone so cold that an adoption request was necessary, let alone a sudden promotion by an even more suddenly resurrected bureaucrat.
