Administration

In 2009, the governance of Amtwiki was given to Linden Tul. She employed a number of admins under her, who together kept up with the process of relocating content and improving the project. In 2014, the title of Head Admin (now affectionately called "the Linden") was betrothed to Crispin, who brought on many new admins to continue the work that needed to be done. He resigned in January 2017, leaving the work to Black Bart who will continue it until the Circle of Monarchs deems otherwise.
