 * Wiki: easalerts.miraheze.org
 * Username: HibiscusCrown20 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I saw this wiki getting created a while ago and it piqued my interest as someone who takes interest in the Emergency Alert System and similar warning systems, but it sadly never got any activity as far as I can tell, and it seems as though the founder has unfortunately abandoned it. I'm requesting to adopt this wiki because I think the wiki's concept of the kinds of alerts that can be issued through the EAS (and maybe even other emergency warning systems from around the world) has a decent amount of potential to work with.


 * I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 04:41, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * HibiscusCrown20 Apologies for the delay in responding, but this LGTM, as the wiki was not locally manually closed. So I've ✅ the wiki. Over the next couple of weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed, quantitatively as well as qualitatively, to help to ensure you will be a suitable caretaker of this wiki. At that point, bureaucrat and sysop rights may be added to your account at that time. Dmehus (talk) 04:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

&mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 18:18, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: windows.miraheze.org
 * Username: Lakelimbo (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This wiki is essentially inactive and I wish I could adopt to reset everything and start from scratch. While right now it's not under the 'inactivity period', it was for almost 40 days, then someone made a small edit on the wiki, resetting the timer. If needed, I can try contacting the original creator of the wiki (which is not interested on Miraheze anymore, as far as I know) to confirm the adoption for this specific circumstance.


 * The ideal/standard process for this is to host a local wiki election; as you noted on discord this could result in zero replies, and as Agent replied it would be an easy election, and given an odd 7 days to see it through properly, I think it might have been the faster route to take in the first place. --Raidarr (talk) 18:51, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I'm a bit unsure about that, especially considering that the wiki is pretty much lacking any namespaces or anything aside from some random fractured pages. But in any case, I actually contacted the bureaucrat of the wiki now, and they seem to be ok with that. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 19:38, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Excellent, so they should perform the transfer of power themselves. Otherwise the evidence still needs to be here to take action, and spending time to officially say you should get it is time they should just offer the transfer as it would be likely much quicker than this process. --Raidarr (talk) 19:46, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: I started the local election, as suggested. I'll wait some days to see the results (if there's any). &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 20:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 04:38, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Election update on the Stewards' noticeboard. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 18:42, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Lakelimbo This has since been ✅. Thanks! :) Dmehus (talk) 04:03, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I think with some management of this wiki, it would make a great wiki. in the meantime, I have some interest in this area, and I hope you will let me take over this wiki!

Is anyone else here to answer my question?--城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 12:38, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately the main Steward presiding over these requests, has been very busy. He should be catching up and available to follow up on this soon. --Raidarr (talk) 13:26, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm not going be importing anything, I'm starting the hundreds of levels from scratch. There's a basic introduction at thebackrooms.com. Sheep42 (talk) 23:11, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: backrooms.miraheze.org
 * Username: Sheep42 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I wanted to create this backrooms wiki, since the admins at the FANDOM wiki have no idea what they're doing, and the one at wikidot is private. I want a fully public and fully committed wiki to this project.

TigerBlazer (talk) 17:32, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: thenewreceptionwiki.miraheze.org
 * Username: TigerBlazer (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Was shut down without any community consensus, and I plan to adopt it, with a vote being made to either continue it with new leadership or to merge it with my wiki.


 * Given the highly unusual nature of the wiki's closure, the usual adoption process does not apply and I think you'd have been better off keeping this on the Stewards' noticeboard. Especially since quite frankly this is less kept up with regularly than the noticeboard. --Raidarr (talk) 19:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Also I just wanted to say, I think that considering that TNRW is older than TCP, TCP should probably be merged into TNRW, not the other way around. FatBurn0000 (talk) 21:08, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Reopening was refused on the Stewards' noticeboard, so I expect it will be refused here officially in due course as well. Raidarr (talk) 22:15, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Considering that TNRW was abandoned and TCP is still active (And the fact I am still interested in working on it), merging with TCP would be a better option. TigerBlazer (talk) 21:18, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The merits either way are a discussion to be had locally upon reopening, I think. There are merits to either approach, or letting them exist independently. Though TNRW still requires the question of its identity to be addressed in any case, as this was a core issue with how it worked before. --Raidarr (talk) 22:10, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't really think that's a reason to merge a wiki into a newer wiki. FatBurn0000 (talk) 21:24, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Since this was procedurally refused via Stewards' noticeboard, I'm marking it accordingly as . --Raidarr (talk) 08:55, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Username: HalfOfAKebab (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Yes
 * Reason: Sorry, I'm a bureaucrat for this wiki, but I don't what I'm meant to do on the Special:ManageWiki, I don't see anything relating to ownership. How can we remove all of MrRhino683's permissions so that they are just a regular user?
 * Hello, you need to go to Special:UserRights on your wiki and type the username of the user whose permissions you want to remove and untick the permissions you want to remove and hit save. For the future reference, these type of questions go to Community noticeboard not here as this page is only meant to request the adoption of closed wikis. Thank you.

 * Hi, Is or  not around to give access? If not, a Steward can soon. Regarding "not among us anymore", do you mean he has died?  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  12:51, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. Great! @Roselix probably will handle TradWiki. And, yes, unfortunately, Daniel has died. :-(
 * You can disregard my request for adoption. I'll talk to @roselix soon.
 * Best.

destruipedia.miraheze.org

 * Wiki: destruipedia.miraheze.org
 * Username: InternoPédia (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The wiki is also abandoned by the administrators and I'm just editing it here
 * Destruipédia does not exist. I think you meant "Destruipedia". However, this wiki is not closed. YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 02:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * It's not closed but the bureaucrats have abandoned it and I'm just editing here, if vandals come to attack this wiki, I won't be able to deal with them much. Can't I adopt or have already adopted this wiki? InternoPédia (talk) 03:28, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * , 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. Ma͡gogre (talk) 07:45, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * But how and where do I apply for this election? What should I do to get this election going?
 * InternoPédia (talk) 04:48, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , as I said above, you'll need to request bureaucratship (and/or adminship) on any prominent page like Community noticeboard or Project:Administrators' noticeboard on the wiki which you want to adopt (destruipedia in your case) and wait at least 5-6 calendar days and then leave a note for the Stewards on SN with thr link to the election page to gain the rights. If you don't get any votes, that is no problem but the actual need is only to hold a local election on the wiki (destruipedia). See this SN thread for example. --Magogre (talk) 07:03, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * But does this election have to be created on some special page on Destruipedia like a Forum, MediaWiki, Module? I'm sorry, but I have never requested the adoption of a wiki and I don't know how to do it, if I would have to create a vote like "Do you agree to approve the user InternoPedia for the Destruipedia administrator ( In this case, you would vote for the alternatives yes and no)? "Would the vote have to be taken in a poll? Would I have to order from MediaWiki first?
 * InternoPédia (talk) 22:37, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , it is ok if you create the election in Destruipédia namespace. Yeah, you should create a vote in which you should say about your contributions to the wiki and how will the wiki benefit if you became the bureaucrat. I am not sure, what you meant by order from MediaWiki. But there is no use of external things. You should request the the bureaucratship on Destruipédia's community portal creating a new section for you request here. If you still don't get it, I'd recommend joining IRC or Discord to get help from users in real time. Thank you. --Magogre (talk) 05:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * First of all, I would like to thank you for everything and also apologize for taking so long to answer, sometimes, I happen to be solving a lot and one of them is the adoption of Destruipedia. So I did a vote on the wiki I'm trying to adopt (Destroipedia) and I'll pass the link you see and talk to me because I would like to know if the special page in the form I edited is right and if something is missing or if I would even have to correct it this page, edit it or even create a new one, I'll give you its link here:

 * Why did you speak english on the wiki? No need. Also, this wiki I already edited in it, and apparently, you will take it back to you. I hope you don't change the name. YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 14:38, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , the request looks good to me. After few days (notably 5-7 days) place a request on SN and a steward will access your request and grant you the rights, if there was no opposition. Magogre (talk) 14:57, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I hope he doesn't change his name. It's okay for him to adopt, but the owner and the rollbacker keeps looking YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 15:08, 9 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Eu já tentei adotar a Destruipédia porque eu, não queria ver esse projeto morrer, mesmo que eu seja um usuário banido infinitamente por lá por motivos particulares do antigo burocrata. Para mim, eu apoio que o InternoPédia vire Burocrata, por está bem interessado nesse Site. Uma pena eu não poder, votar a favor na sua votação por lá. English: I've already tried to adopt Destruipedia because I didn't want to see this project die, even though I'm an infinitely banned user there for the private reasons of the former bureaucrat. For me, I support InternoPédia becoming a bureaucrat, as it is very interested in this site. Too bad I can't vote in favor of your vote there. Pérola Maniaco (talk) 20:29, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
