I may not edit here all that frequently, but I lurk around enough to know when a situation is being mishandled. Recently a forum went up about preventing people from adopting OCs from inactive users (Which tbh if you're inactive for 6 months or longer, your rights are effectively killed), however this isn't the issue I have. This is a general issue when it comes to those who make Multi-Fandom OCs. It seems that there's been a major problem in regards to inactive user Multi-Fandom OCs getting adopted, only for that inactive user, who is still using the same character somewhere else, to find that someone has taken up ownership of their treasured OC on another wiki. Since these OCs will obviously never be given up by the owners, I suggest that these OCs be kept on the the User Page, or User Subpage to keep it off the random script, and impossible to find unless the owner specifically gives the link to the person willing to adopt it. This gives the owner more control in making sure their OCs aren't taken by new users because they've been inactive for a long time, and can greatly reduce the fights and arguments that occur otherwise.

I would also propose this be done with all OCs, but this may make things hard to manage due to the lack of any Wiki specific OCs being found on the random script, and can in turn make quality management difficult, which is why I propose just moving Multi-Fandom OCs to subpages to prevent any fights or arguments that occur.
