Being considerate of everyone has only ever lead to problems over the last 5 years I've been on wikia. It has killed wikis by being overly considerate of people. You can't make everyone happy, so it's best to just make sure you're wiki is of top quality and appearance to maintain a high reputation.

Also as I explained on discord, OCs that are so important shouldn't be on the main wiki. By putting those "multifandom" OCs on User Subpages you will keep them off the random script and can only be found if someone gives you the link, making it impossible to adopt such ocs without the user permission, because they'll be impossible to find without it. In fact, this should be the norm with all OCs if you want to keep OC Adoption a thing.

Secondly, if people touching other OCs cause so much drama, why is adopting a thing in the first place. All I ever see are people fighting and causing drama when someone even so much as looks at a page wrong. People who are overly stingy like this need to be taught that if they didn't want their stuff to be potentially stolen, they should've kept them private.

Third, say that Adoption is still around, you still need a time limit for when a page can remain an incomplete mess before deletion or giving it to someone else. 2 weeks is enough to get someone active to get their page together. 6 months for anyone inactive so that they can eventually get a notice and decide whether or not they cba. After the 6 month notice a timelimit of at most a month should be in place, though responses tend to happen within two weeks. With a no response, you cease ownership, delete/adopt, and be on with it. Managing the wiki's content is more often than not more important than keeping a paranoid inactive creator happy in the long term. Trying to make everyone happy results in poor quality standards, 0 expectations, and a rabid userbase that completely disregards the concept of rules. I also suggest that things get even tighter around here so no one has to go through what I've been through on wikia because of lack luster control over the community. No one should ever have to go through what I went through, and I'd hate to see the same result because of this mess of a system. Making far more complicated than it actually is.
