21. When considering to work on a What-If? Death Battle already owned, consider these:
 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is incomplete, you can freely create your own version of the battle without having to ask the owner for permission, HOWEVER, it is required to give a notice to the user (via Message Wall) before doing anything to the page
 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is complete, the same process as above will apply
 * If a fight is owned by an INACTIVE (Has not contributed to the wiki for at least 6 months) user, then you are eligible to remove their category if you so desire.
 * Lastly, it is NOT acceptable for users to create their own version of another user’s battle just so that they can prove them wrong and openly mock them for making a particular character win/lose a fight in order to try to convince said user to change the outcome of their battle. If any evidence is found of users trying to do this their battle will either be deleted on sight (if they have already completed their own version of the battle or are in the process of completing it) and they will be given a Warning OR the user will be sent a message by a member of staff telling them that they cannot create their own version of said battle (if said user hasn’t gotten round to asking/notifying the owner if they can create/will be creating their own version of the battle).

Actually One Stick, according to the updated version of Rule 21 (the fight adoption rule) you no longer need to ask for permission to make your own version of a incomplete or complete battle but just notify the owner of said battle that you are going to be making your own version of their fight. Since you have messaged Redgrave about the battle by asking to make your own version of it this counts as notifying Redgrave that you are going to be making your own version of said battle, so can make your own version of it.

Just wanted to help you out regarding this situation.

Kind Regards
