Mass deletion?

Ok, this is what I've observed with 20 minutes of investigation:

  • User:Hedley founded this wikia almost a year ago
    • However, Hedley had only edited for about a week, and made few edits in the last year.
  • User:Hedley most likely felt it was under site policy to delete all those pages per the policy on real wrestlers and deletion policy. This edit was only clarification as the same information is stated in the section below.
    • However, noted in the deletion policy "As eWE grows, this policy is subject to change.". As Hedley has not been around much in almost year, the rules could be considered to have changed. No one person owns a Wikia, the community does (in theory anyway).
  • Some of those pages may have violated the rules.
    • However, certain other actions such as deleting MediaWiki messages, Hedley's own user page (Delete using 1337 powers), and possibly content that was not in violation makes the whole affair seem rogue.

Please make any other facts known. All contributors are invited to discuss opinions as well (please keep separate from facts) on what should be done, especially the founder Hedley who Angela has temporarily desysopped.

There seems to exist a major personal misunderstanding on the side of Hedley, that he is the "owner" of this wiki, and that he could decide, if this wiki is active or not (unregarded if there are other active users, who do contribute), see also this edit.
The general wording of the policy also sounds a bit, hmm, rough …
Anyway, Hedley is no longer a sysop [1], the pages he has deleted are restored (of course, they can be deleted again, if someone gives a good reason). So what to do now? --rieke 03:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, it's a pity, that nobody of the other contributers can tell us … please note, that you don't have any sysop on eWrestling now. If someone's interested, please get in contact. Greetings --rieke 07:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Unable to add federations/characters!

Hey, if anyone reads this, is it possible to even add federations and characters? I can't manage to find out how to add them seeing as you can't edit the pages to add characters. Help? --User:Adamaniac

You should be able to edit any page here. What happens when you try? Do you see any error message. To create a new page, just add a link to it from an existing page and then follow that red link, or use this box:
I find that the best way to create something new is this: add a link to it elsewhere (like, say, for a fed, the "About E-Wrestling" page), and then click on the red-link that follows. Then, when you get to that "Nothing is here" screen, create the wiki. That's pretty much how I do it (World Wildzone Wrestling, my wrestler's page) - Edible
