 * Wiki: FortheEmpire
 * Username: Sluggish3725
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Lost access to wiki, had to make new account
 * ✅ I reopened the wiki and from now on you can contribute to it, once you've been contributing enough time on the wiki, you can ask the stewards to grant you administrator permissions. Regards. —Alvaro Molina (✉  - ✔ ) 14:34, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Black Desert Online RP (Status: Done)
Darbi Rue (talk) 00:14, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Wiki: Black Desert Online RP
 * Username: Darbi Rue
 * Are you a bureaucrat? No
 * Reason: It seems that whoever created this terrific Wiki has decided to move on from the game, leaving this behind in their wake. I think it's a great place as a repository for characters and other roleplay-related things, so I don't want to see it disappear. I'd rather take responsibility for it and revive it. Thank you for your consideration.
 * Wiki is now reopened. You will need to show that you are active there before we transfer the rights. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 00:24, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Darbii: Totally understand. You can see my largest post here: https://bdorp.miraheze.org/wiki/Emlyn_Rue

Darbii: Are there any updates on this?
 * I don't see any activity from you since the wiki was reopened. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Darbii: That's because there hasn't been any. There have been VERY few posters on there, because it wasn't properly advertised. My goal, once I have it in my hands, is to begin the advertising of it. But truth-be-told, if this cannot be turned over to me until we have active posters, then I'm just going to let it to go to the wayside again and you guys can delete it. I don't wish to pour tons of effort into something on my own accord, if I'm not able to do what I need to do on there.

The purpose of this particular wiki is a repository for characters in a roleplay sense. My hope is to bring it back up to date with the RP community. But those who run the Black Desert Roleplay site are waiting to see if I can obtain this Wiki, before we start bringing it back to the public. They want to be sure it's worth it first, and that it's not going to just up and disappear on them again. The last guy who ran it, made it look great, but didn't give the proper people authority over it, so that is why it went to the wayside. He quit and just let it stagnate.

Please consider my appeal. I don't want to see all of these stories that people have written just disappear, but at the same time, I'm only going to fight for it to a point. If this cannot be done, we will find another option.

Thank you again, for your consideration.

P.S. Part of the problem that I see is that there is no obvious "Create a Page" links available, thus people are probably confused as to how to add any content to it in the first place.


 * No, it is not obvious under MediaWiki that you create pages by calling up a nonexistent title and clicking the link that you meant to create it. This is not a problem for Miraheze system administrators but for the Admins of your own website; hint, that means your own website needs people functioning as Admins, and you don't need Admin powers to solve this particular problem.  An example of a way to show readers how to become creators is in the bottom of the right column of the Front Page of TheMirror.  But do please stop hinting that you won't go to the wall for this wiki, as though, if you quit trying, that will be their fault too.   16:03 3-Dec-2017


 * I've assigned temporary sysop. If you actively maintain the wiki, I'll extend it permanently. -- Void  Whispers 20:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Given that admin expired with no use, you will have to make a new request if you'd like the tools back. -- Void  Whispers 23:51, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

KAI (Status: Done)
Lionel (talk) 22:47, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Wiki: KAI
 * Username: Lionel
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Replace this with yes if you are a bureaucrat on the wiki
 * Reason: I would like to enable local file links on my wiki, but was told (for security reasons) that it would only be done if the wiki was private. Since I want to maintain the main wiki as public, I'd like to create a new (private) wiki just for the pages that I want to put local file links on. "KAI" is the name that I would like to use, and it looks like this one wasn't edited since creation. I would like to change the Korean to English and make this wiki private. Thanks! -Lionel
 * ❌ invalid venue, please use Special:RequestWiki Zppix (talk) 22:52, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ kai.miraheze.org exists, and therefore must be transferred by a request for adoption. -- Void  Whispers 23:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

The Memory Fold (https://memoryfold.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (Status: Done)
Babylon Rocker (talk) 18:54, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Wiki: The Memory Fold (https://memoryfold.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page)
 * Username: Babylon Rocker
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I created/own the wiki, but didn't log in for 60 days, so I lost access.
 * You can do this by using Special:ManageWiki on your wiki and unchecking the "closed" option. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:42, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It says that I must be a bureaucrat to do that, and I am not a bureaucrat. Babylon Rocker (talk) 17:50, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * According to this link (visible only to System Administrators and Stewards) and ths link (visible only to users that can add or remove rights on your wiki) you still have Bureaucrat access. If you go to this link on your wiki, you should be able to unclose the wiki yourself. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 18:31, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, the linked worked and wiki reopened. Babylon Rocker (talk) 21:30, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
