Memory Gamma:Policies and Guidelines/Story Adoption


 * Any Story is eligible for adoption if it meets any of the following criteria:
 * The original author has not made any edits to the story in the past 6 months (make sure to check page history)
 * The story does not have any chapters/episodes - basically, a summary
 * Contains incomplete chapters/episodes
 * There is no construction template


 * Once a Story is found eligible for adoption, admins will add the adopt template.
 * As a courtesy, any user wishing to adopt the Story must leave a message on the original author's message wall notifying them of the adoption.
 * If no discrepancy is received within 7 days, the user wishing to adopt may remove the adopt template and begin editing.
 * If the original author does not wish to have the Story adopted, they must place a construction template in place of the adoption template.


 * The original author may choose to put their Story up for adoption by adding the adopt template.
 * Any eligible Story created by an unknown/IP user does not need to follow these guidelines and can be adopted by any registered user.
