Hey Pinkachu,

To give you a bit of the backstory I took over as admin/bureaucrat when TERA went free to play as TERA:Rising at that time all of the admins from before were already gone and so it was just me and six others who started doing new edits and pages as tera was making its transition into the free to play world; While Talking among ourselves we found it very hard to deal with some of the vandals and not having access to things like editing the navigation and so we looked into what options we could take to improve our situation.

Our findings pointed to making an adoption request to put one of us as a bureaucrat to enable the others more ease of use on the site, at the time all of those users agreed to put me in that position as they felt I had a slightly better understanding of the admin tools and also did well with engaging new editors and talking with the current ones and while admittedly my skills with templates and proofing was lackluster they trusted that I could enable them to excel at those things.

Life happened for those users and whether it was school, work, relationships, medical or something else they all ended up being pulled away from the wiki and while I have been recruiting anyone who has made an edit they have for the most part declared themselves not fit or not interested in being part of the project.

In that regard I have been disheartened myself without having anyone to work along with me becoming a mere bot cleaning up spam and giving messages to new editors with a task looming over my head of how massively incomplete the wiki was and is even before I came on.

So while I have been diligent with removing spam and greeting new users I myself have not been doing any editing but recently however a couple users have been making edits, http://tera.wikia.com/wiki/User:SaioTV has shown a nack for templates and gave a complete needed redesign of the item layout and a couple of users from the same ips I have been noticing doing some edits so I still have some hope in this wiki.

With that said if you are really offering to help after hearing my story I would really love any assistance another person can offer both to recharge me and to also bring life back into this wiki that so many people have invested countless hours into.

Yours Humbly, Jay Sanless
