Wow, it's been a week and nobody has been voted, hmm.

This wiki is pretty inactive so there's going to be slim to none chance for any votes to come up.

It has a reason to be inactive, though.

The majority of the pages on this wiki have insanely bad quality, such as lacking key descriptions, bad grammar, confusing sentences, the occasional false information...

We all have to help to fix these pages. Maybe we can make it good enough to make a passing Wikia user actually edit here for a while.

But nobody really gives a big effort to make the pages on the wiki better.

I do see that you, Glitch555, have been doing quite a bit of edits.

Seeing what you actually do on those edits is strange.

It appears you don't seem to really do anything about the grammar and confusingness, but rather just fix a link or template.

At the time I'm writing this, a recent edit of yours is on the page "My New Shop".

Looking into the history, all you did was fix Stampy's broken link.

Nothing else.

Not clearing up sentences...

Not fixing grammar...

Not removing false information...

I know that you have to see the abyssmal quality of this page too. You had all the power in your hands to fix it, but you didn't.

Why?

It's almost as if that the main problems in the page are avoided because it would be too tedious to fix them.

I recently just rewrote the plot of Sleepy Stampy to a good quality and it took me only five minutes.

Five minutes.

Is this wiki so inactive that nobody can spend five minutes to just make a key improvement to the page?

What we need is more dedicated users to fix these pages and create their own quality pages.

And to attract more users, we need good pages.

So for now, we need to just fix as many pages as we can, and simultaneously attempt to attract new users.

Maybe I can't just say this and command the wiki, of course.

I'm no admin...

But you are.

Maybe you could put this into action officially.

Maybe we could make this wiki something that, in general, does not look terrible!

This could be a new day and age for the Stampylongnose Wiki!

...as proposed by the essentially powerless user who actually joined the same day he proposed this.

But that shouldn't stop this proposal from being ignored.

If we were mean to all of the new users, that would repel them from our wiki.

Which is the exact opposite of what we want to do.

So, if you accept this proposal, be sure to also encourage being friendly to other users, which will help us get many new great users!

I hope that you could make an official blog about this that will hopefully shape the wiki into what it was always meant to be:

Awesome.

But to help with this proposal, I might need...

Alright, this sounds very stupid considering I just joined, but I'll continue...

to be an admin.

For instance, maybe I would need to block a user that constantly vandalizes pages.

Or maybe rename a page that was incorrectly named (for instance, the "Tick Top Shop" is actually called the "Tick-Tock Clock Shop").

It would also allow me to edit a protected page that still needs polishing.

It would be a great help to have adminship if this proposal becomes official, but I could still help without it (although I would be limited).

But I would very much appreciate it if you were to fully consider this proposal and maybe make it official.

(Also, at a few points in this proposal, it may have offended you how I described the wiki, but I did not mean to offend you at all.)
