Hi Tatzelwyrm! I'm Brandon, a Community Manager on Wikia's Community Support team. First and foremost, I just wanted to say that you, the rest of the admins, and your entire community here have done an amazing job with this wiki. You may not know it, but this wiki is one of our fastest growing wikis of 2012. That's a huge achievement and I hope you and your community are very proud of that&mdash;because you should be!

One of my roles as a Community Manager here at Wikia is admin support, and I've been working to revamp our Admin Support Team into a better working program that can provide the most amount of value to the admins here at Wikia. We're preparing to roll out our revamp of this called the Admin Mentor Program, where the volunteer members of the program work as mentors to admins who sign up to participate. The mentorship allows these admins to gain more knowledge in wiki building and management skills that they would like to learn.

As one of our fastest growers, I would like to extend an offer to you and the rest of your admin team to be part of the inaugural group of wikis that are mentored in the new program. This inaugural group is our trial period where we get a sense of how the program will work in practice and allow us to better tweak the program to suit the needs of admins across Wikia. At the end we'll be able to collect feedback from the admins who participate so we can provide the best program possible.

Would this be something you and your admins would be interested in? The best way to think about it is if there are things that you and the other admins would like to gain a greater understanding of, because, if there is, that will help the mentors if you do choose to be part of the program. If so, I'd love to hear from you and hear what you would like to learn. I look forward to hearing back from you!
