No, I don't want to take over this wiki. I want to become an admin in the absence of an active admin. I did not request this behind your back, but I followed Fandom's correct procedure for adopting a wiki as described at https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Adoption:Requests. You have been mostly inactive since 08/08/2020, and 100% inactive for more than two months, despite having previously edited the wiki almost every day. This gave me the impression that you had disappeared or had lost interest in the wiki.
A temporary drop in user numbers is expected during a pandemic when travel is impossible or severely curtailed. But that does not mean that we should stop updating the wiki or fixing its many problems, because travel will resume when the pandemic is over, just as it did after acts of aviation-related terrorism in 2001 and 2006, and even after the 1918 influenza pandemic.
I agree that we have different focuses. Your focus is adding new content, which I applaud, and my focus is correcting the many errors in this useful resource. I suggest that my focus is closer to the remit of an admin. As co-admins with different focuses and different time availability, we would help to perfect the wiki.
You mention the mobile home page. I see no point in a separate mobile home page, given that the main desktop home page is responsive and displays optimally on mobile devices.
I see no purpose in trimming down the wiki. We should aim to cover every country and territory, even with just a stub page for some countries to which others can contribute. In the absence of a stub page, casual contributors won't bother to add information about a non-covered country. Casual contributors don't want the hassle of creating a new page. An example is the Syria page which I recently added as a stub. I am sure that many thousands of Syrian refugees have used this wiki, but they were unable to easily contribute any information about their own country because the Syria page had been deleted.
I disagree that I have created conflicts. I draw your attention to Fandom's comments at https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:MisterWoodhouse/Introducing_the_Wiki_Rules_and_Blocking_Policy that "Wikis ultimately belong to their communities, not any one admin, bureaucrat, or even the founder. An admin has many additional user rights on the wiki platform, but not the right to bully other community members with their local authority or even exclude them entirely for no good reason".
We can work together as admins in order to bring this wiki up to the same standards as Wikipedia and Wikitravel, which it currently falls significantly below.
