Leader Plankton! Ownership Dispute

The '''Leader Plankton! Ownership Dispute '''is a spin-off rights issue that began on July 28, 2016 and is still ongoing, with a ceasefire between April 25, 2017 and January 26, 2018. It is considered a proxy of the larger dispute between ex-bureaucrat The Terrible Travis and the longest-currently-serving bureaucrat.

First Wave
On July 28, 2016, Kelpy G created a proposal requesting for the ownership rights of the Pineapple Entertainment series Leader Plankton!. The proposal passed on August 5, 2016 with 83% support from the community. Leader Plankton! creator The Terrible Travis and Gavin the Otter were the only two users to oppose Kelpy G's acquirement of the series.

Since then, Kelpy G has claimed several times that he is the owner of Leader Plankton!. Travis has refuted this claim, stating that the Kelpy G's proposal to attain control of the series was invalid, pointing out that rule #5 of the Wiki Policy states that users must receive permission before editing another user's spin-off. In response, Kelpy G has pointed out that rule #5 does not explicitly state that one must receive permission from the owner and that he's received permission from the community.

On April 10, 2017, Kelpy G announced that he was reviving the series for a fifth season and released the episode " The Exile. "  However, Travis quickly deleted the "The Exile" page, claiming once again that he was the owner of the show, not Kelpy G. On April 15, 2017, Kelpy G announced that he was going to continue through with Season 5 of the series no matter what Travis said. In response, Travis created a proposal that would add a new rule to the Proposal Policy stating that community consensus doesn't apply to fanon works. This proposal would be applied retroactively, meaning that all previous successful requests for adoption would be overturned, including Kelpy G's one for Leader Plankton!. This proposal is currently at 66% support.

On the same day, Kelpy G introduced a proposal of his own to establish that community consensus did in fact apply to spin-offs. This proposal failed.

Second Wave
On January 26, 2018, a proposal containing a provision that would overturn Travis' proposal was passed, causing a 180 to be pulled, and Kelpy G accepted ''Leader Plankton! ''in the following hours. Despite leaving the wiki just a week earlier, The Terrible Travis came back to fight for his show. He announced a demotion request for Kelpy G would come soon.

In this wave, support for Kelpy G's control over ''Leader Plankton! ''has increased, with swathes of the Anti-Travis League joining the organization because of a position in the series.

Just one day later, on January 27, 2018, Kelpy G renounced his ownership of ''Leader Plankton! ''and transferred the franchise back to The Terrible Travis.

Third Wave
Just four days after transferring ownership to Travis, Kelpy G regretted his decision to hand over Leader Plankton!, stating that he should've never "pandered to travis like hillary pandered to minorities". He also promised that he will put SBFW: After Hours in his hands. On January 31, 2018, Kelpy G launched a proposal that would let him get all of Pineapple Entertainment''. ''Unlike his previous attempts, he singled out Travis' show, saying that the legislation preventing fanon works to be adopted via community consensus would apply to everything else. Also, this time he would get the entire company. He also created the precedent of "bypassing," which would create an exception to the rule. He introduced this precedent because many users opposed his adoption request for ''Leader Plankton! ''due to the fear of new users' spin-off's being adopted. Another significant aspect of this proposal is that it would restrict Travis from counteracting, as the proposal would deny his right to vote and start a proposal. The proposal is currently at 100% support.
