Besides, Problems with being controlled by members: -Wiki's can be deleted -Random editing abuse

That is why it is controlled by the admins, so that the items listed above, do not take place.

And I'd have to say, The Admins have done a good job editing the wiki to make it a good environment for Robloxians to search people, places, and things. Thanks Admins! Wikis on Wikia are owned by their communities and decisions should be taken by consensus. And that is actually enforced by Wikia's creation policy and terms of use (see https://www.wikia.com/Wiki_Creation_Policy#Public_editing).

Wikis cannot be deleted. They can only be closed, and only Wikia employees can close a wiki. They will almost never do so, even at the request of the founder/admins/the community. They will usually just leave the wiki open to adoption, or merge it with another wiki. The only case where they usually delete or close wikis is when they were just created, have no community yet, and barely have any content.

Random editing abuse happens on every wiki regardless of who owns or controls it, and the only way to prevent it completely is to not allow user registration, which pretty much ruins the entire point of it being a wiki.
