 * Wiki: venkon.miraheze.org
 * Username: Samanaslietuvas
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki has been closed due to inactivity and I wish to revitalize it. Also, a question in case this request does get approved - would it be possible to remove bureaucrat rights from the old bureaucrats of the wiki, considering the fact that they haven't frequented the wiki in a long time?
 * ❌ as I'm afraid this has been superceded by the wiki being reopened, and thus not eligible for adoption, and now ✅. Additionally, I was also not satisfied with your reason provided for wanting to adopt what appears to be a personal wiki of the wiki's sole contributor. Feel free to request a new wiki, though, taking care to define a clear purpose, scope, and topic(s) for your wiki. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 23:28, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

meme.miraheze.org
Wiki JS 19:32, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: meme.miraheze.org
 * Username: WikiJS
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The wiki never even got edited, and I really like memes, so this wiki will not be inactive for a very long time.
 * WikiJS Looking at this wiki, it looks like more of a good-faith idea that never really got off the ground. As well, I note the wiki uses the WikiBase extension, which suggests it is intended to be more of a meme database repository than an encyclopedic wiki with written prose. Additionally, the original wiki request was a bit vague and unclear. Please note that the wiki adoption process is not a quick process, and does typically take several weeks to assess quantity and quality of your contributions, so if you could please advise if you wish to proceed with this adoption request, or if you wish to request a similar wiki with a different subdomain, taking care to define a clear purpose, scope, and topic(s) for your wiki, that'd be much appreciated.

 * I will request a similar wiki instead. Thanks for the help!  Wiki JS  19:53, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please make sure you define a clear purpose, scope, and topic(s) for your wiki. Please define clearly all topics your broad wiki will propose to write about and what sort of sourcing policies your wiki will have. Dmehus (talk) 19:57, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you link me to my wiki request? I forgot to change the category to humor/satire. Wiki JS  19:58, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * WikiJS I've already approved the wiki, so it's been sent to our  server. Once it's created, you can change your wiki's category in Special:ManageWiki on your wiki. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 20:01, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh alright, thanks again! :) Wiki JS  20:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem again. I've messaged Reception123 to pause an import to  temporarily and execute the   maintenance script on   to clear the heavy job backlog. Once that's done, your wiki should be created. Dmehus (talk) 20:04, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

crazypedia.miraheze.org

 * Wiki: crazypedia.miraheze.org
 * Username: TheNino
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: This wiki I want because it is good, the owner abandoned it, its last edition was October 2020.

I would ask for a new wiki, but that name is already good for me TheNino (talk) 17:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * TheNino This wiki does not seem to have more than a handful of content pages, and I'm not even certain it was approved with a clear enough purpose and scope for the wiki. Nevertheless, setting that aside, the requests for adoption is not a quick process as it does typically take several weeks to assess the requestor's contributions to the wiki. Your better option would be to request a new wiki, taking care to articulate a clear purpose for your wiki, define its scope, and describe the type of content/topic(s) your wiki will contain. When this wiki is deleted per Dormancy Policy and the database dropped, you can then file a Phabricator request to rename your wiki's database name and subdomain (see above similar request). Please advise if you still prefer to adopt this wiki, or will go that route. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 17:12, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
