At that point, you will have at least a week to constructively contribute to the temporarily reopened wiki, so that a steward can assess your adoption request and, if satisfied, grant you  rights on the wiki.

After that, Void will assess your editing and, assuming you've made sufficient content improvements or additions to the wiki, grant you   and   rights on the wiki. Regarding your   wiki, since it's essentially the same thing as   wiki, my preference would be to see this adoption through, but am not opposed to creating that wiki instead.

 * Wiki: geopolitik.miraheze.org
 * Username: Isle
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No.
 * Reason: The person who made this wiki is no longer affiliated with the wiki and has stepped down. We are starting it back up again and would like to get it adopted
 * First, thank you for your adoption request. However, it was somewhat malformed. Please note that the Miraheze subdomain, not the custom domain should be used for adoption requests, and, additionally, there is no need to add an additional section header. Second, regarding your request, thank you for your valid adoption request, assuming this was the intended wiki. A steward will review your request within the next week or so, after which they will reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for one or more weeks. Within several weeks, they will review your contributions, and grant you  rights on the local wiki if successful.  If that was not the correct wiki, please do advise of the correct wiki. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 20:07, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Username: 日本連邦
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I and others often used this wiki, and I want to use this wiki more.
 * This request seems fine to me. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks, reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for at least one week, and then assess your contributions to the wiki and grant rights if successful. Dmehus (talk) 14:53, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Username: Vogand
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Interslavic Wiki has been closed due to inactivity in the last 60 days and it would be a pity if it were lost completely.


 * This request seems fine to me. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks, reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for at least one week, and then assess your contributions to the wiki and grant rights if successful. Dmehus (talk) 19:10, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright. How many edits should I do? --Vogand (talk) 19:18, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You'll have to wait until a steward reopens the wiki (they'll ping you when they do). There's not really a set number, but I would think creating a few pages, categorizing appropriately some other pages, and copyediting some others would be sufficient. Dmehus (talk) 19:19, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay. --Vogand (talk) 19:21, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I will mark this as ❌ because of this. HeartsDo (Talk || Global || Wiki Creator) 17:43, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes, as wiki has been reopened as it was because it was not inactive and you can continue to contribute on it. HeartsDo (Talk || Global || Wiki Creator) 11:54, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It was reopened after another guy's request but thank you, I will start next week. --Vogand (talk) 19:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

 * This request seems fine to me. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks, reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for at least one week, and then assess your contributions to the wiki and grant rights if successful. Dmehus (talk) 14:01, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

 * There the a glitch that caused the same message to be sent twice sorry about that Ice cake 2543 (talk) 21:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅! I have struck your duplicate message. Thanks for the head's up. Dmehus (talk) 22:19, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for taking so long to get to your request. The wiki has now been reopened. -- Void  Whispers 22:13, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So I did some edits and there is this message, so are stewards on this wiki? The message says pending review my edit is sent to moderation so are you one of the mods? Ice cake 2543 (talk) 00:23, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I feel like it is something I should know because I am thinking about making a new page for this wiki Ice cake 2543 (talk) 00:27, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay, it looks like that wiki is using Extension:Moderation, so if there are no active bureaucrats, a steward will have to either (a) disable the extension, (b) approve your edits, which would be quite tedious, or (c) add you to the  group. I will ping  to this thread to decide on which course of action to take, since you do need to be able to edit the wiki in order to have your adoption request assessed. I personally would probably favour either of option A or option C. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmehus (talk • contribs) 01:18, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here and just adding the automoderated and moderator groups. This makes it possible for the user to be able to contribute to the wiki, and also allow others to contribute. Just be sure to keep an eye on goodsoftware:Special:Moderation. -- Void  Whispers 01:40, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and thanks for adding unsigned for what is, quite likely, my first unsigned post. I'm not sure if you were directing the last sentence to Ice cake 2543 or to both of us, but if the latter, that special page isn't viewable to me. Dmehus (talk) 01:47, 4 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Related discussion moved from wrong section
 * Thank you Ice cake 2543 (talk) 22:55, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wait I tried to edit and it says to wait to be approved by mods does it mean the mod for this wiki because I am not sure if they are active Ice cake 2543 (talk) 23:30, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Hmm? This appears to be the wrong section? The wiki listed here (minecraftwiki) does not have any mechanisms in place to hold edits for review. -- Void  Whispers 01:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Good point. I was a bit confused as I noticed replied to you thanking you, and yet RealKnockout was the user that requested adopting this wiki. So perhaps it's just the other wiki then. Dmehus (talk) 01:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It is the other wiki I mixed up this section with the good software section I think the Extension moderation should be gone which is why I chose option A Ice cake 2543 (talk) 02:50, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry of the confusion Ice cake 2543 (talk) 02:51, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, well once your adoption request is successful and you have  rights, you can choose to disable the Moderation extension, if you wish. In the meantime, Void has added   for you on the wiki while you edit. You can also moderate others' edits on the wiki using the above special page. Dmehus (talk) 03:08, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Wiki: athas.miraheze.org

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No, I'm not bureaucrat on that wiki
 * Reason: I want to manage the wiki and add pages. For example Avangion is a creature in Athas I could add. Is not yet included in the wiki.
 * a steward should review your request as soon as they can. However, LGTM. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 13:59, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This wiki is not yet closed, so cannot yet be adopted per Dormancy Policy as it is only inactive. So, while I'm closing this as ❌, you have a couple options. First, you can wait until it is closed, then rerequest at requests for adoption. Or, second, you can add that page for that character, which should prevent the wiki's closure, and hold a local election on the wiki. Since it seems like this wiki has no active bureaucrats, I would recommend you hold a local election, taking care to take into account the local wiki's permissions elections policies. Assuming your wiki has no local permissions request policies or other election rules, you would follow global customs and conventions for such requests, which see you create an election page on that wiki, on a prominent page, stating the number and type of position(s) you're running for (i.e., administrator, bureaucrat), the name(s) of the candidate(s) running, how long the election shall run for (best practice for 5-7 calendar days), the minimum support ratio required for a successful election, and whether an election can be declared successful after the minimum timeframe if no one expresses a view (i.e., election by acclamation). Once your process has concluded (recommended to last for at least 5-7 calendar days), return to stewards' noticeboard and, in a new thread, state the wiki address, local location of the election, and a steward will assess your local election in absence of a local bureaucrat. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:57, 20 November 2020 (UTC).

 * Wiki: batman.miraheze.org
 * Username: R4356th
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki is closed per Dormancy Policy and I am interested in adopting it to be able to add more content to it.
 * This appears to have been closed in error, possibly a lingering result of the recent technical issue. When I look at Special:Log/managewiki, I can see that reopened the wiki on 25 October 2020, so it should not be eligible for adoption. You can instead requests rights on that wiki, and either a local   will grant or a steward can be engaged where the bureaucrat is not active after a reasonable period of time. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:57, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I see. Does that mean that I am allowed to make a request for adopting it after two months? Thank you. R4356th (talk) 16:19, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, if the wiki becomes closed again per Dormancy Policy, absolutely; however, if you look in the history, this wiki has a habit of going dormant and then being reopened by the local  eventually, so it may not/never happen. Thus, you can contribute to the local wiki and then request local rights on the wiki, sharing joint bureaucrat rights with the existing bureaucrats. Please see the advice I gave to Avengium in the above request on holding a local permissions election, too. Dmehus (talk) 16:24, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thank you very much for your suggestion. It also looks like John reopened the wiki, a huge thank you to him for this. R4356th (talk) 18:15, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yep, it was somewhat technical in nature, so John was able to just reopen the wiki in absence of the local . So you can now contribute to the wiki. If you wish to request additional tools on that wiki, you can talk to any   on the local wiki. Dmehus (talk) 18:20, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Interesting and good choice for a wiki to adopt, given the circumstances and events of 2020. This request seems fine to me, as this wiki was not manually closed, and I couldn't find any recent changes in the past 60 days. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks (quite possibly sooner), reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for at least one week, and then assess your contributions to the wiki and grant rights if successful.
