Subject: Quiz Adoption!

Posted by: Thesuperyoshi
Date: Aug 30 23

I just adopted my first quiz, which is a quiz about one of my favorite games, Minecraft! I'm so excited as it's my first time adopting a quiz. Based on the information entered it's VERY outdated, so I'll try to refresh it and add information about some of the stuff that were added to Minecraft over the years.

Some of the 'Minecraft' quizzes that've gone online over the years-- lemme tell you-- they need help. More 'Minecraft' quizzes are pulled offline in VG than any other topic because of time-sensitivity. This coupled with super repetitive contents makes them a good selection for elevation in any way.

Is it permissible to change the category of an adopted quiz, e.g. from Literature to Movies?

This is something to discuss with an editor in the original category, but my first instinct is that a movement like that is too drastic. I think you could possibly get away with switching subcategories within the same main category, but switching from one medium to another is a pretty big leap.

That said, changing quiz formats is completely acceptable. For example, if an adopted quiz could benefit from becoming a photo quiz or a match quiz, then we generally encourage authors to use their creativity and go for it.

I would never say never on it. We don't want people claiming an Adopted quiz just to use that template and up their numbers willy-nilly with a topic that had nothing to do with the original prompt. That said, someone could take a quiz about 'Logging Practices in Utah' and turn it into a quiz about 'National Parks in Utah' and it would probably help it become more accessible.

I have changed the category of an adopted quiz a couple of times. Both quizzes were originally in Geography, but the existing questions were on a variety of topics, so I moved both of them to General/Mixed Countries - which is not so dramatically different from Geography.
