'''Welcome to Baccano! Wikia'''

I'm Lady shift, the recent adopter-admin of this wikia. I'm currently fixing the overall look of this wiki (which might take a long time since no one has bothered to mess with it in ages) but I have some things in the way right now so it might take some time. Also feel free to correct any anomaly in any of the articles but please don't mess with the templates (in general, you can edit the info not the format) especially the character ones (it's unorganized as it is).

 Stuff that needs to be added -good quality profile pictures of all the characters [its set usally at 250px] -compilation of quotes from both the light novel and anime -concise but well written descriptions for the characters [physical appearance and personality] -summaries for each episode -gallery of official art -awards/badges

 Shift: Post script

I'm also looking for other good reliable people to become admin/editors of this wikia since it would take a good team to sort out over 337 pages worth of data. If you're interested, you would need to edit and contribute some pages, information and or medi and then contact me for I can review them for the promotion. (I'm really trying to make this more fun sounding but yeah...this is the best way I can put it @.@)

A post-post script Hello! I'm Publicdomain, the most recent adopter-admin of this wikia as of August 2015. I have no idea if Lady Shift plans on returning any time soon, but it seems she's been removed from the admin list, and she hasn't logged on in a while. I'm going to keep her message up as many of the things needed on this wikia still haven't been addressed, and I'd also like to add a couple things for future editors to take note of: 1. Be careful not to write with an overly "casual" tone, and please don't include your opinions in articles. 2. Baccano is a tricky series timeline wise, but in general summarize the story using the literary present tense. 3. Do NOT upload fan art, fan edits, or cosplay to the photo galleries. 4. Try to stick to light novel canon. For example, when it comes to summarizing the events of 1930, write that Firo is the one who brings the elixir of immortality to the party, not Isaac and Miria. Explain the differences between the light novels and the anime if need be. Preface any information coming only from the anime with that fact. This is just so the info on the wiki is consistent. Also, like Lady Shift, I'm seeking more admins/editors to improve this wiki. You can follow the process she's given above. Thank you!

A post-post-post script Greetings. I'm Revriley, and I was elevated to admin/bureaucrat status of this wiki in January 2016. Now that FarewellFire (formerly Publicdomain) has chosen to step down as admin I am the only active admin of this wiki at the present time, and I thought it would be prudent to write a message to the readership. There is still a lot to do on the wiki, and I intend at some point to create a to-do List and share it under the "Community Tab" as a helpful reference for those wondering what to do first. As it stands now, feel free to message me if you are lost or have an idea and want a second opinion. Though far from perfect, the wiki has grown a lot over the years, and you should feel proud for whatever you have contributed on your visits here. If you are not a contributor, I hope you have enjoyed what the wiki has to offer you at this time, and can assure you that I will continue working to fix older articles whilst creating new ones. Happy editing!
