 * Wiki: senkan.miraheze.org
 * Username: Stinky The Skunk
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: I'd like to adopt the wiki page Senkan, as the owner of the page has left it entirely unused and dormant 2 times now, and has no intentions of returning to it. It's a project me and my friends much enjoyed and we wish to continue it Stinky The Skunk (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Stinky The Skunk Apologies for the delay in responding. This LGTM, as the wiki was not manually closed by a local bureaucrat, so I've ✅ in lieu of locally active bureaucrats. After several weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed by Stewards, and the  user group may be added to your account at that time. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:31, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ Zero local contributions in more than a week since the wiki was reopened. Nevertheless, the wiki has been reopened, so users can edit it again. Dmehus (talk) 15:27, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: duovision.miraheze.org
 * Username: DreamWeaver7
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am a member of the community that started the wiki, but unfortunately it was abandoned. I would like to revive this wiki, contribute to it and share it to my community that is still very much active.
 * DreamWeaver7 This LGTM, as the wiki was not manually closed by a local bureaucrat, so I've ✅ in lieu of locally active bureaucrats. After several weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed by Stewards, and the  user group may be added to your account at that time. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 13:40, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * DreamWeaver7 Looking though your local contributions to this wiki since it was reopened, you have already made the single most editing contributions to the wiki in both number of edits and page byte size, I'm thus satisfied of your commitment level to continue contributing to the wiki and to serving as its custodian/caretaker, so this LGTM and is thus ✅, with  and   rights added to your account. As a helpful reminder, local wikis are run according locally developed guidelines, rules, and other practices developed by the consensus formed from local wikis' communities.

Sophiebun (talk) 14:41, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: mymelopedia.miraheze.org
 * Username: Sophiebun
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: Soon after starting up work on the wiki, I suffered a hard drive failure, leaving me unable to really get started. Since recovering from it, attempts to access my existing account have been fruitless - as I was not aware that I had to enable password reset emails, and my password was lost as it was saved to my laptop's hard drive. I now wish and intend to go all in on this wiki now that I'm back in a position to do so. Thank you.
 * Sophiebun This LGTM, as the wiki was not manually closed by a local bureaucrat, so I've ✅ in lieu of locally active bureaucrats. After several weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed by Stewards, and the  user group may be added to your account at that time. Thanks.
 * As an alternative to the above, you may wish to create a local election page somewhere on the wiki, following the guidelines in the linked page, and then after 5-7 calendar days, ping me here to assess your election. The process is usually procedurally much quicker than an adoption process. Dmehus (talk) 15:59, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Sophiebun Looking though your local contributions to this wiki since it was reopened, you have already made the most editing contributions to the wiki in both number of edits and likely by page byte size as well. Additionally, the user with the second most contributions is your stated, though unconfirmed, original account. While we cannot use that for the purposes of restoring access to your original account, I also have no reason to doubt you, either, so on that basis, it could also be said you're likely the only contributor to this wiki. In any case, I'm thus satisfied of your commitment level to continue contributing to the wiki and to serving as its custodian/caretaker, so this LGTM and is thus ✅, with  and   rights added to your account. As a helpful reminder, local wikis are run according locally developed guidelines, rules, and other practices developed by the consensus formed from local wikis' communities.

 * Wiki: myshc.miraheze.org
 * Username: Pdr0011
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki is no longer being edited. I want to adopt this wiki.
 * Pdr0011 This LGTM, as the wiki was not manually closed by a local bureaucrat, so I've ✅ in lieu of locally active bureaucrats. After several weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed by Stewards, and the  user group may be added to your account at that time. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:48, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Pdr0011 Looking though your local contributions to this wiki since it was reopened, though quite minor, you have already made the second most editing contributions to the wiki in terms of number of edits. Additionally, this is a non-English language wiki. I'm thus satisfied of your commitment level to continue contributing to the wiki and to serving as its custodian/caretaker, so this LGTM and is thus ✅, with  and   rights added to your account. As a helpful reminder, local wikis are run according locally developed guidelines, rules, and other practices developed by the consensus formed from local wikis' communities. Dmehus (talk) 16:27, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello... I accidentally removed the bureaucrat rating while checking the settings. Could you make a bureaucrat group again? Pdr0011 (talk) 14:53, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Pdr0011 I see that you have deleted your  user group, but I also noted you removed the   flag from the existing bureaucrat & sysop, Csam10398, and blocked that user for no apparent reason. As I did provide you a helpful reminder above that local wikis are not owned by any one person, and are run according to the consensus will of the local wiki community, I'm not seeing any sort of consensus of the community to proceed with those changes. Moreover, there can always be more than one bureaucrat on a wiki, and, indeed, this is a recommended best practice. Another recommended best practice which is strongly encouraged is to leave the ManageWiki permissions such that only Stewards can remove the   bit from users (requested at stewards' noticeboard). I'll recreate your   group following the default permissions for the group, but will you commit to keeping in place that recommended best practice and to unblocking that user and restoring their   bit should they return? Dmehus (talk) 17:22, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well noted. Then I will commit those items. Well... could you recreate the bureaucrat group? Pdr0011 (talk) 23:49, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Additionally, Csam10398 have not edited this wiki for a long time, so I think he left the wiki for now. But I'm planning to wait for him coming back to wiki to give sysop bit and bureaucrat. Pdr0011 (talk) 23:49, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * That's a bit fair, but my preference would be to restore at least the  user group, then you could perhaps make a dummy log action to note that the user's   group would be restored once the user returns to the wiki. Dmehus (talk) 00:14, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * But I already removed the actual group 'bureaucrat', also I cannot access the ManageWiki screen which is available for bureaucrat. Pdr0011 (talk) 04:05, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll recreate the group, then if bureaucrat needs to be re-added, you can do that, and also unblock them. Dmehus (talk) 04:09, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * OK I wanna do bureaucrat again... Pdr0011 (talk) 04:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Pdr0011 ✅ (#1 and #2), with  re-added to you and Csam10398. You can now unblock Csam10398 locally. As a recommended best practice, I recommend not giving local bureaucrats the ability to remove the bureaucrat bit from other bureaucrats and instead request Stewards remove the bit. It's a really good security practice. Dmehus (talk) 04:19, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, I have unblocked Csam10398. And then I will wait for him coming back to this Wiki. Pdr0011 (talk) 04:33, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * For the  rights? Yeah, that sounds good. Thanks. :) Dmehus (talk) 04:34, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Penarc1 Your local contributions alone show me your commitment level to maintaining and serving as an important caretaker for ; however, your work on Lingua Franca Nova demonstrate you understand this wiki's scope and, combined with your impressive, well-documented cross-wiki contributions, further demonstrate you will be a trusted steward of and for this wiki. As such, this LGTM and is thus ✅, with   and   rights added to your account. As a helpful reminder, local wikis are run according locally developed guidelines, rules, and other practices developed by the consensus formed from local wikis' communities. Dmehus (talk) 18:17, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * As a side note, I was particularly impressed with the way in which you incorporated a link to a completely unaffiliated content page on another Miraheze-hosted wiki as you did here, as this is something rarely seen on Miraheze. Nicely done! Dmehus (talk) 18:17, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: minecraftenchantments.miraheze.org
 * Username: QuestionLite2
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I was dumb and locked myself out of my account QuestionLite so I'm here with my second account to be able to make administrative changes to the wiki as well as editing after it died
 * QuestionLite2 By locked yourself out, do you mean you just lost your two-factor authentication device and can otherwise recover your access to your account as you have a confirmed linked e-mail address on file, or do you mean you've forgotten your password and have no e-mail address on file? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 12:49, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I've forgotten my password and have no e-mail address on file.
 * QuestionLite2 (talk) 19:08, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * QuestionLite2 Okay, well, please let me know whether you wish to proceed with this adoption request, which will require you to contribute to the wiki with editing contributions over a couple weeks or so, or hold a local election, lasting at least five to seven calendar days and following these guidelines. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 23:23, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * QuestionLite2 I've ✅ this wiki for you to either hold a local election, following these guidelines, or contribute to the wiki over the next couple of weeks. Depending on your contributions or the approach taken, this request may be closed as either superceded by a successful local election, a successful adoption request, or not done. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 17:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm editing it right as we speak. However, I'm unable to upload files as I get an error.
 * QuestionLite2 (talk) 19:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * QuestionLite2 What error do you receive? Please paste it in a, enclosed in quotation marks as in that example. I can grant you temporary rights until the adoption request concludes, but users seem to have the needed upload rights. Dmehus (talk) 22:49, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * QuestionLite2 (talk) 07:24, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this might require a Phabricator task. —Bu kk it 16:15, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This should be fixed by Reception. —Bu kk it 16:41, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, great, thanks Bukkit and Reception123. So, QuestionLite2, continue editing the wiki, and I'll assess this in about a week. Dmehus (talk) 16:54, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: amongus.miraheze.org
 * Username: Zocktersrat
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: because I need to do something with this wiki and contribute to it so I could keep it educational.
 * Zocktersrat As I see that  is a wiki of Cocopuff2018, I've instead notified them to this request to locally reopen the wiki and consider granting you any rights you may require (i.e.,   and, potentially,  ) as this will be much quicker than proceeding with a full adoption request. If they've not reopened the wiki by tomorrow, I'll reopen it, and we can proceed with the adoption request. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:29, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello I have reopened and granted admin sorry for late reply --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 17:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Zocktersrat Per Cocopuff2018's reply, above, the wiki has been ✅ and you've been locally ✅  permissions on the wiki. As such, I'm closing this request as locally handled. Feel free to request any additional permissions you require locally. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 17:26, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: the wiki needs adoption, and I was thinking of improving it so that it doesn’t end up like Atrocious YouTubers Wiki.
 * I would like to point out that this wiki is not eligible for adoption because it was purposefully closed by its admins, see the ManageWiki log. As a result, it cannot be adopted. You can try talking to the local administration on the wiki and asking them for rights and to reopen the wiki. Thanks!  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 12:35, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
