 * Wiki: worsttvnetworks.miraheze.org
 * Username: Blubabluba9990
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki has potential, and since Waldo already has a pending adoption request for its sister wiki (Terrific TV Networks Wiki), I decided to make an adoption request for this one.


 * I need it to be re-opened though so that I can make some edits. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What is the difference between this wiki and the other wiki? 20:08, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Terrific TV Networks Wiki is about good television networks, while Worst TV Networks Wiki is about bad television networks. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:13, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oops, yes, apologies for not noticing that earlier. A Steward will get to this request soon. 20:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:23, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Blubabluba9990 This ✅ as the wiki was not manually closed by a local, so the wiki has been reopened for you to contribute actively over the next week or two, after which a steward will assess your activity and conclude this request accordingly. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. There is still one problem though. Turns out the network wikis will be merged with the larger Terrible TV Shows wiki and Best TV Shows Wiki as a rebrand for the Reception Wikis, so until then I can keep this wiki up. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 12:58, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Blubabluba9990 I looked through your contributions thus far, and, other than some improvements to the Main Page, I'm not seeing very many edits. Please advise if you are still working on this wiki and interested in adopting it. Pro tip: Writing a few full content pages would be very helpful to a successful adoption. Dmehus (talk) 23:04, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah the wiki is probably getting merged with Terrible TV Shows Wiki as part of a rebrand they are doing there so that is why. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 12:52, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

bestepisodes.miraheze.org
SpongeBobFan99 (talk) 19:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: bestepisodes.miraheze.org
 * Username: SpongeBobFan99
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: It's inactive.
 * Hi could you please share a better reason? Thank you. :)  19:50, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Though I share R4356th's concern above, This ✅ as the wiki was not manually closed by a local, so the wiki has been reopened for you to contribute actively over the next week or two, after which a steward will assess your activity and conclude this request accordingly. Please ensure you make an edit to the wiki before of the end of the day to prevent it being reclosed. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 19:54, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Aw, man, I didn't see that. SpongeBobFan99 (talk) 20:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * SpongeBobFan99 Okay, I'll reopen this wiki again, since you missed the message, but I have my doubts as to whether you will generate sufficient contributions on both this wiki and the SpongeBob wiki (see below). Since users should generally not adopt every wiki, please decide which wiki you're most interested in adopting (this one or the one below), and reply in the thread for the wiki you're most interested in adopting. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:09, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Closing this as ❌ since SpongeBobFan99 has been granted local user rights on the below wiki by the local bureaucrat. Please advise if any interest still in this request. Dmehus (talk) 22:17, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

hbcpraise.miraheze.org
Hbcpraise (talk) 22:00, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: hbcpraise.miraheze.org
 * Username: Hbcpraise
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No answer given
 * Reason: I am the bureaucrat, but when I got Special:ManageWiki everything is greyed out and I cannot uncheck "closed"


 * Hbcpraise I've ✅ the wiki for you. Looking at this special page, it looks like Jim-ng is the only  on the wiki. I noted you are a   on the wiki, which usually indicates a private wiki. It looks like it was a private wiki until this log action made by the local wiki bureaucrat made the wiki public. So, my question would be mainly for Jim-ng as the wiki bureaucrat, did you guys want all users to view your wiki's pages? With private wikis, if you want users to be able to view pages, you just need to add the   group to the user(s) you want to have access. So, clarification there would be helpful. In addition, do you still want to adopt the wiki, by contributing to the wiki over the next several weeks in order to obtain   and   rights on the wiki, or did you just want it reopened? If the latter, this is now ✅. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hbcpraise Though you've made significant contributions to this wiki prior to your requesting adoption, I haven't seen any contributions since the wiki was reopened. As well, seeing as Jim-ng is again active on the wiki, I'm closing this as ❌. Please reach out to Jim-ng to request  rights on the wiki or, failing that, to holding a local election, which a Steward can assess in absence of locally active bureaucrats. Thanks.

alternatehistory.miraheze.org
Emperore (talk) 22:09, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: alternatehistory.miraheze.org
 * Username: Emperore
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The website's administrators are very inactive and permissions on the website are limiting. You cannot add/edit templates, create your own user page, or even edit the sandbox. I want to adopt the website to improve it and fuel activity since it seems that the strict permissions are a deterrent and there are many missing templates that are necessary for an alternate history wiki.


 * Emperore It looks like Sapphire Williams, the only (sort of) recently active  on this wiki has protected certain namespaces on   at  . So, while this wiki isn't eligible for adoption, you have a couple of options, which I'll itemize in turn:
 * Request  permissions from Sapphire Williams on their local user talk page. If they don't reply after a few days to week, then you can either return to this thread or message me in some other venue (i.e., at User talk:Dmehus or stewards' noticeboard) requesting the   permission be granted in lieu of local administration; or,
 * Hold a local election for the position(s) you require, whether  and/or , following the tips and best practices at User:Dmehus/local election.
 * Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 16:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Emperore See my reply on Sapphire Williams' user talk page on that wiki. While I could grant you  permissions in lieu of locally active administration, as you only need one more edit on that wiki, the very act of you replying to my reply on that user talk page will make you  . Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:03, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

uesrpg.miraheze.org
Dawnstar (talk) 13:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: uesrpg.miraheze.org
 * Username: Dawnstar
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: interested in preserving and updating the information
 * Dawnstar 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  and   user groups may be added to your account at that time. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:22, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Dawnstar No activity since the wiki was reopened more than two weeks ago, so I'm closing this as ❌. In any case, wiki is active and open, so you can always hold a local election on the local wiki, and request a Steward to assess your election in absence of locally active bureaucrats.

fantastictoys.miraheze.org
DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:06, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: fantastictoys.miraheze.org
 * Username: DarkMatterMan4500
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No.
 * Reason: The reason why I am making this request is basically 2 things: For 1, it has been entirely inactive with no local sysop to take care of the wiki, and as for reason #2, I figured this wiki would have much potential for a revival, and a new look for it. So, I'd like you to consider my adoption request in advance. Thanks.


 * I have ❌ this request as locally handled as has reopened the wiki and granted you   and   rights. Good luck with this wiki! :)  07:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

ith.miraheze.org
IdleDiscovery (talk) 13:59, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: ith.miraheze.org
 * Username: IdleDiscovery
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no yes
 * Reason: I wish to adopt the ith. I was the original creator of that wiki, and ended up being inactive on it. I wish to try again.
 * IdleDiscovery As you are a  on this wiki, can you please go into Special:ManageWiki, uncheck "inactive" and "closed", so your wiki will be reopened? When that's done, I'll update this request's status. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:12, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I am so very new at this, that I was not able to find Special:ManageWiki at first. I have now unchecked the "inactive" and "closed" boxes as per your instructions, and submitted that. IdleDiscovery (talk) 15:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * IdleDiscovery ✅, and that's no problem at all. I've now marked this as locally handled. You can learn more about ManageWiki at ManageWiki. You may also find FAQ helpful. You can ask specific questions on either Discord, IRC, or community noticeboard, and someone should be able to answer them. Dmehus (talk) 15:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thenk you very much for the help IdleDiscovery (talk) 15:44, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. :) Dmehus (talk) 15:46, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

protoromana.miraheze.org
Flaviu (talk) 16:11, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: protoromana.miraheze.org
 * Username: Flaviu
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: My own site
 * Hi, your reasons says "My own site" but the only bureaucrat/sysop on the wiki is User:Saturnian. Is that an alternate account of yours? If so, please use that one to log in and and then you can go to Special:ManageWiki and uncheck the "closed" box to reopen it. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 16:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, you are right. I will solve it. Thank you, Flaviu (talk) 14:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ by the requestor. Dmehus (talk) 19:23, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

undictionary.miraheze.org
$10^2$ 4279  計算過程  09:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: undictionary.miraheze.org
 * Username: TEntEn4279
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Undictionary is one of the three sister wikis of Chinese Uncyclopedia that have been closed due to being inactive. For Undictionary, I would like to give it a try and save the wiki from its deletion.

arda.miraheze.org
Dread (talk) 16:56, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: arda.miraheze.org
 * Username: Dread
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I would like to repurpose the wiki for a possible world-building community project.
 * Dread ❌ as the purpose of requests for adoption is to take over management and administration of existing wikis, not usurp another wiki's subdomain. This wiki has not been edited in approximately five months, and should be deleted in a little over a month from now. So, I'd suggest either (a) waiting until then and requesting a wiki or, if you cannot wait, (b) requesting a wiki with a different subdomain, then monitoring for when this wiki's database is dropped, and then filing a task on Phabricator to rename your wiki. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:18, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

pokemon.miraheze.org
PokeMyth (talk) 12:28, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: pokemon.miraheze.org
 * Username: PokeMyth
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: It's abandoned without ever being used and I would like to make something of it.
 * PokeMyth 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  and   user groups may be added to your account at that time. Dmehus (talk) 14:44, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you unlock the main page for edition for now? If possible. PokeMyth (talk) 16:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * PokeMyth This is a reasonable request, so I've lowered the edit protection level of Main Page on the given wiki to  as a Steward action on a wiki without any active administrators (and bureaucrats, for that matter). Additionally, so you don't have to make at least ten (10) edits and wait four (4) calendar days, I've ✅ you temporary   permissions on the wiki, so you can edit the main page. Dmehus (talk) 17:07, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

terriblenicheaudienceshows.miraheze.org
SpongeBobFan99 (talk) 23:07, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: terriblenicheaudienceshows.miraheze.org
 * Username: SpongeBobFan99
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Recently, niche audience shows were banned on TTSW. I found this wiki and made a few edits there.
 * ❌ as the wiki is not closed. Please see my response here. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 23:19, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, I have no idea what I am doing. I'll just follow your guidelines. I am running for bureaucrat, the candidates are me, and, now, I'm so confused, SpongeBobFan99 (talk) 23:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

foodsharinghamburg.miraheze.org
Foodsaver1 (talk) 23:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: foodsharinghamburg.miraheze.org
 * Username: Foodsaver1
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: We're a large community and I'm one of the editors of this wiki. Unfortunately there were no logs in the last 2 months, so it was closed. We need to reopen it.
 * Foodsaver1 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  and   user groups may be added to your account at that time. Dmehus (talk) 23:29, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

MarijusV (talk) 10:20, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: veg.miraheze.org
 * Username: MarijusV
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * MarijusV I think you made a typographical error in this request as  has never existed on Miraheze, based on my searches. You have, however, requested and created , which is both open and active. Can you please visit that wiki and let me know if you're able to access it? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 13:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
