Trollpasta Wiki:User blog:GodzillaFan1/The History of Trollpasta Wiki: Difference between revisions

On July 21st, 2012, [[User:Dronian|Dronain]] founded Trollpasta Wiki. Creepypasta Wiki only allowed [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Troll_Pasta a handful of trollpastas on their site], so Trollpasta Wiki was created in order to feature all kinds of trollpastas (even ones that weren't funny.) Trollastas ranged from being ALL CAPS poorly written garbage about random things (these were the most common in the early days of the site), to making fun of creepypastas, and eventually from Creepypasta Wiki started getting uploaded to the site. Dronian was the only one running the site, that is up until June 20th, 2012 where he made [[User:Furbearingbrick|Furbearingbrick]] (Fur) an admin. 4 months later, [[User:LOLSKELTONSLOLSKELETONS|LOLSKELETONS]] (Skelly) joined the wiki, and started helping out. Fur took notice of Skelly, and told him to apply for adminship. So he did just that, and [[User talk;Dronian#Admin_2|asked Dronian if he could be an admin]]. Dronain agreed, and made Skelly an admin on November 13th, 2012. Together, Fur and Skelly helped the site out with category organization, and blocked people who didn't update the list within 24 minutes. However, problems started accruing in January 2013 with anonymous editing.

An anon [[User talk:Furbearingbrick/Talk Archive 1#Duplicate images|started harassing Fur]] [[User talk:Furbearingbrick/Talk Archive 1#Blocked, (Not Raging)|on her talk page]], making threats, and ranting about how "corrupt" she and the other Creepypasta Wiki staff were. Fur went to Dronian about this, and proposed that anonymous editing should be disabled. Skelly and a user by the name "[[User:TheShadyNerd|TheShadyNerd]]" supported this decision. However, it never really went anywhere. A few days later, [[User talk:Dronian#HELP|Fur went to Dronian once again in a crisis]]. She suggested that anonymous editing should once again be disabled due to the anon vandalizing pages and switching IPs, and also suggested that TheShadyNerd should be an admin to help combat these problems. While anonymous editing didn't get disabled, the issues with the troublesome anon eventually got resolved.

On February 7th, 2013, TheShadyNerd [[User talk:Dronian|applied for adminship]]. Dronian agreed, and made him an admin on the same day. 1 month later on March 13th, 2013, Skelly [[User talk:Dronian#LOLSKELETONS' Application for Bureaucrat |applied for bureaucrat rights]], stating that "the wiki has become too big for only five admins and one bureaucrat." Despite the app gaining a lot of support, Dronain wasn't so sure about it. A few weeks go by, and Skelly asks again if he can be a bureaucrat. Dronain finally agreed, and made him a bureaucrat on March 26th, 2013.Dronain has since become inactive.
