Honestly, if a wiki got an award for most highlighted threads, this wiki would probably win :P

So I noticed that sometimes, we may want to get rid of our actors for whatever reason. I think we should have a few ways you can let go of your actor:

Adoption

I noticed there are a few actors who are up for adoption! I think we need to make this whole adoption process clearer/official. First off, I came up with a few rules we should have for putting actors up for adoption:

I also made this template that can go on the pages of actors who need a manager/are up for adoption:
 * Once you put your actor up for adoption, you are no longer responsible for them.
 * The actor also cannot recieve any more acting jobs than it already has because the actor is manager-less.
 * If an actor currently is not working on any Wiki Channel projects (like, isn't on a show) and is manager-less for two months, they will have to leave Wiki Channel.
 * You cannot have more than 5 actors up for adoption (this is to limit the amount of actors up for adoption on the wiki since adoption may not be too common).

The template is called "Adoption."

Leaving Wiki Channel

I also realized that some users may not want their actors to continue on the channel, they just want to get rid of them. In this case, I think the actor should simply leave Wiki Channel. Whenever a user just doesn't want their actor here anymore, they just put this template on their page:

The template is called "Left." This could apply to many actors, for example, actors who are apart of ended shows. Maybe after Kitty ends, Lisha Jane wants to go on to different things. So then you'd put this template on her page. See what I mean? She couldn't be adopted so making her leave Wiki Channel would work best. Here are some rules I came up with regarding making your actors leave Wiki Channel.


 * Once an actor leaves Wiki Channel, they cannot participate in any upcoming projects.
 * Actors who left cannot be adopted. If someone wants to adopt them, they'll have to ask the user who created the actor to put them up for adoption.
 * You cannot make your actor leave Wiki Channel when they're in the middle of a show or movie. You'll have to talk to the show/movie creator and work out something before you make them go.
 * Once actors leave Wiki Channel, their look-a-likes are now free for use of another actor. (I know this one is probably a bit iffy but we can't have an actor who isn't part of the channel anymore hold onto a look-a-like, right?)

Deletion

This is my last way for how we should allow users to get rid of their actors. This idea is: simply deleting their page and pretending as if they never existed. :P I mean, think about it, maybe one day I make an actor named Hannah Carson. Let's say I have her for two months, but she doesn't get ANY jobs on or with Wiki Channel. So then I want to get rid of her. Why keep her page and say she left the Wiki Channel when she was never even on it? So I think this way should apply to those who just want to scrap their actors. Here are my rules for this:

So that's it! Deletion could also work with when you make an actor but suddenly, a day or so later, realize you don't want them anymore! :P I hope you like these ideas! I know it's a lot :P Tell me what you think below!
 * You must request for the actor to be deleted on the actors board.
 * You cannot delete an actor who is currently taking part or took part in a project with/on Wiki Channel. You must either make them leave Wiki Channel or set them up for adoption.

I also have a suggestion. I think we should expand the number of actors you can have to 7 boys and 7 girls. I mean with the adopting actors going on and all of the shows and movies that need to be casted, we'll need some more spots for users to have actors! Maybe we could even do 8 boys, 8 girls! Tell me what you think! :)
