Alright, fair enough. I'm not going to try to persuade you -- just choose what you think is best, just want to add a bit of extra explanation.

On the first point I gotta say that maybe when you keep it active and some other admins are added, each of those admins may have their own preferred animals, and thus it would balance itself out. The reason I pop in the animals wiki occasionally is in fact because I boosted up the Dutch one recently (w:c:nl.animals). It had 8 pages, about 5 of which were about spiders, and then one was the homepage. If that person were an admin on animals wiki with you (won't be the case, since Dutch and inactive, but still if), those interests fill each other out. I think it's the same on other wikis: one person like gameplay and guides more, the other likes lore more.

As for guides -- if you're the admin, you decide how to fill in this wiki. You could do blogs about various elements of keeping for instance lizards at home, or you could make a section within the article dedicated to that. Articles of animals which aren't usually kept as pets, just won't have that section then; simple as that. You could even add a forum dedicated to how to keep various animals, where people can share their tips and tricks. Just a couple of ideas P:

Then for vandalism and spam / deleting / all that: yeah, I know where you're coming from. I myself started on w:c:RP when it was 10 articles big, pushed it to 100 in my first month, and then we ended at 1000 after another because of a merge. I am still cleaning up badly written articles, and it's an annoying task. But at least there's something to read on our wiki, and new editors who pass by will know what they can help out with. And if there's vandals with a lot of edits, you can always contact VSTF to help clean them up, as they have the tools for it.

Cheers!
