Eligibility to become an adopter
Though anyone can sign up for adoption, not every user is eligible to become an adopter. Before you sign up to be an adopter, make sure you meet the following criteria:
 * Adopters should be active.
 * Adopters should have a minimum of 750 mainspace edits.
 * Adopters should not have had blocks/caused vandalism in the last three months.
 * Adopters should not be current adoptees.

Note: Adopters should only take on as many adoptees as they can practically cope with. No user should have more than three adoptees at any given time.

If you meet the above criteria and would like to become an adopter, sign your name in the sign up list with the following format: *YOUR USERNAME

Final approval (for now) rests with Stryker117. Once an adopter has been approved, his/her name will be moved from the sign up list to the list of available adopters. Once your name has been moved to the table, feel free to fill in your own personal information.

Further information
After being approved as an eligible adopter, check the list of users seeking adoption. Once you find a user you would be willing to adopt, you can send them an adoption offer with the following template:

While new users can always contact adopters to request adoption, they will most likely feel more comfortable if they were to be contacted first. Therefore, please make an effort to actively seek out potential adoptees.

Once a potential adoptee has either accepted or declined your offer, please notify Stryker117.

Responsibilities
As an adopter, make sure you constantly check your talk page for requests from your adoptees. Also, you might consider occasionally checking up on your adoptees' contributions to make sure their edits are of high quality and conforming to Halopedia's standards. If you notice something that the user needs to fix, please inform them in a calm and friendly way—remember, everyone was new once. This will help new users improve at a much faster rate than if they were to edit alone.
