I saw the issues related to Crasspedia recently, and how one of the Bureaucrat admins ended up removing everyone else as a sysop and Bureaucrat so he could delete everything on the wiki.  I was slightly worried about that myself when I used a farmer wiki, and it's a very serious issue here in any rare circumstances when it occurs since this wiki hosting service does not have global logins and administrator privileges, which would allow a Wikkii staff member to desysop any rouge admins.

To prevent this sort of thing, is there any way that a special creator group with full wiki privileges and cannot be removed could be created, and added to the first user of a wiki?

Thank you for the suggestion. What you say makes sense.

It is something we will need to look into in future.

Maybe it doesn't work this way at all, but would this work?

I've had that haopen to me once. My wiki used to be called onRacing

Does anyone know anything about whether or not this would be possible under the current farmer system?  I think that all the farmer wikis share a database, but they don't seem to share users, as far as I can tell.
