TLDR: Undella, you or someone(s) got to repair the wikia.

I listed 4 specific areas that need attention. You might have do majority of repair work (or at least start them) though, such as unlocking Kazuma page and set the direction for the wikia.

Well, Undella, if you are wondering what happened to the contents, you can check the deletion logs from Feb 5, 2017: http://konosuba.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log?offset=20170205070119&type=delete&month=&year= I think there were other heavy content purges around then as well.

Most of the KonoSuba contents should come from the Light Novels, as the anime doesn't fully explain the key concepts, but I don't think the two new admins quite get that yet. They seemed to be more interested in showing off their skills (one of best wikia skills I have seen, to give them credits), but they don't seem to really appreciate or understand KonoSuba. They also seemed to be sharing their accounts with at least one other friend.

To repair the damages, I think you definitely have to step in and reverse some of the edits. May even require the new admins to step down: - Character navigation is the the most urgent issue now. You need to make sure character pages are easily accessible to and searchable for readers. Previous method used three groupings to organize the character lists: 1) Main/Supporting/Enemy characters, 2) Human/Monster, 3)Male/Female, while the character navigation template listed all the key characters and is listed on all the character pages. The new character organization is not as good as before and incomplete, but it is still workable and went into more detail group listing. However, you need to at least link the Category page in the Navigation menu (they can always switch the link, if they ever create a better page later), and tags all the character pages appropriately once you decided on organization methods. - You have to rebuild the four main character pages. Most of contents got striped and the pages were left incomplete. The skill sections are very important for Kazuma and Aqua pages. The personality sections are very important for Darkness and Aqua pages. Megumin's special trait is her explosion ability, but main section for her is actually the gallery section, due to her cuteness and likability. There are also many fun info in the old trivia sections. Except for Megumin pictures, older contents still exists in the history and salvagable. - Also, Chris and Eris pages must be separated. Anyone who read the light novels carefully should notice how the author set up the reveals throughout the different volumes and appreciate Chris' reaction when she was found out. The wikia originally had separate pages for them for good reasons. - As for the supporting character, you need plot sections (and probably relationship sections) to show who they are and what they do. Looks like majority of those sections got destroyed. I don't think you have the time to rebuild each pages on your own. So you really have to setup the character navigation, and hope active contributors can help finish the work. The old contents list the Light Novel Volume #s as a way to organize ideas and indict spoilers; you probably want a same or similar type of systems in place.

You won't see much activity during the off seasons, so you really want to keep an active admin if possible. However, you need to make sure the wikia is in the right direction before you go on break. Despite the higher MAL rating, the 2nd anime season is very inconsistent in quality, and half of it is actually not very good. So there may not be a 3rd anime season. If you remove all the relevant LN contents and interest/funny anecdotes, then barring and censoring contents they don't understand or like, it won't have the same KonoSuba feel anymore. The wikia contributors may just start their own wikia, that is centered more on Light Novel contents.
