IAmCauseStillYou (talk) 08:55, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: solace.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: IAmCauseStillYou (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I want to adopt this page to expand my worldbuilding ideas.


 * This conversation was directed to and is currently taking place on my talk page, and a permalink to the actionable conclusion will be provided when it's complete. --Raidarr (talk) 13:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * In light of an odd 14 days without further reply ^ seeking better rationale for why a relatively personal wiki is being 'adopted' by someone who is uninvolved, I mark this as until/unless such followup is posted. --Raidarr (talk) 13:14, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

hsffl.miraheze.org
Connor Rozee (talk) 05:55, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: hsffl.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Connor Rozee (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * This wiki was deleted and dropped due to inactivity on 20 November, 2021. Please note that all wikis on Miraheze are subject to the Content Policy which states that wikis that lack activity are closed in 2 months and later deleted some time after 6 months of the last sign of activity. If you wish to restore this wiki, please re-request it normally via Special:RequestWiki (if you request a wiki, make sure to provide a detailed reason for requesting a wiki. Providing a one sentence response such as "my old wiki was deleted" or "I was told to re-request a wiki" are almost always declined.) and then head to Phabricator and request that a systems administrator restore the latest backup on hand of this wiki. Thanks. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 06:02, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai: Can you kindly give me an update on progress to restore the latest backup to my hsffl wiki? Connor Rozee (talk) 00:25, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Have you made a request on Phabricator yet? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai Yes, Phabricator request made 12th March: T8922 Connor Rozee (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I just saw it, thanks. All progress is logged in the task and as you can see, there is currently no progress on it. It will be processed shortly. Apologies for the delay. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:50, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Viileäpedia.miraheze.org

 * Wiki: Viileäpedia.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Istambul Psycho (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: will create new articles there
 * This request is and was badly malformed. I corrected the basic formatting on this attempt, but what you're requesting does not seem to exist, nor was it clear to another volunteer the last time. If you can provide a valid link of what you're looking at, it would be much appreciated. As far as I'm aware what you are referencing by name does not exist (not even with a base name, ie, ' '). Please advise. --Raidarr (talk) 09:48, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

unwatchablesports.miraheze.org
FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 03:48, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: unwatchablesports.miraheze.org
 * Username: FatBurn0000 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki has more potential than I initially thought.
 * FatBurn0000, you have made only 1 edit to . When you say it has "more potential than [you] initially thought," do you mean you have previously contributed to this wiki, under a prior account (locked or unlocked)? Otherwise, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Secondarily, the other concern I have is that you seem to be requesting, whether at requests for reopening wikis or stewards' noticeboard, to be requesting to adopt/reopen quite a lot of wikis, some of which you've made few or no contributions to. Please note that per Dormancy Policy, a user may not request to adopt or otherwise have reopened every wiki (which includes, in Stewards' discretion, a large number of wikis). So I would need a clearer reason for wanting this wiki to be reopened. Dmehus (talk) 03:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I initially thought the wiki was a bad idea because you can't really create good pages about why sports are bad and it's not fair to criticise people for being bad at sports. However, I then realised that the wiki could also be used to talk about teams and individuals that are known for not playing fairly, along with bad moments in sport history. Also, I'm not necessarily going to adopt it - but I would like to contribute. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 10:01, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * FatBurn0000, okay, thank you for the added information. I'll consider reopening this wiki for you tomorrow, provided that you can you confirm that you do not intend to request to have any and all closed Reception-style wikis reopened merely to save them from deletion per Dormancy Policy. Dmehus (talk) 04:08, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that. I will only request for a wiki to be reopened if I am actually going to contribute. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 09:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

lggyaanipedia.miraheze.org
Matttest (talk) 03:38, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: lggyaanipedia.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Matttest (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am bureaucrat on the Chinese Gyaanipedia. Hopefully, I understand the commission of Gyaanipedia’s projects and I’m active too on Chinese Gyaanipedia. I hope I can save the Ganda language version of Gyaanipedia. I will keep it open and will contribute to this language further if you can reopen the wiki.
 * ✅, apologies for the delay. --Raidarr (talk) 17:37, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

wikirlevip.miraheze.org
Skarsna.meloviliju (talk) 21:21, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: wikirlevip.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Skarsna.meloviliju (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Fuji kyosuke
 * Reason: because Wikirlevip is the precious stock of sentences written by Lineparine.
 * ✅ the wiki. Please contribute there, and, if rights are required, you may request them locally, or engage with Stewards. A local election will be required, possibly accompanied by a local sitenotice, for  and   rights. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 21:28, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

runzeppelin.miraheze.org
Runzeppelin (talk) 07:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: runzeppelin.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Runzeppelin (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): ?
 * Reason: Hey! I can't uncheck the "Closed" checkbox for our site. My account should have rights, but there is no access to uncheck the box. I go to the page https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/core/runzeppelinwiki, but I can't change anything there. All fields are in read-only mode, although I am successfully logged in with my account (User:Runzeppelin).


 * Hi there. First, I invite you to read User groups which explains what bureaucrats are on a wiki. Essentially, bureaucrats are the highest ranking users on a wiki which I can see you are on your own wiki.
 * Secondly, I'd like to point out that the Meta link you're trying to use is reserved for Stewards only. To reopen your own wiki, click here and uncheck the "Closed" checkbox. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:29, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Marking as ✅ per your reopening of the wiki in the linked log action. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:11, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

gundam.miraheze.org

 * Wiki: gundam.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Balofo2
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO(was)
 * Reason: I lost the phone that had the Google Authenticator app so I was locked out of my two wikis(the other is geass.miraheze.org) because there's no way to recover the 2FA code anymore. I still have the password for the original account: Balofo. Basically I need to be a bureaucrat again to fine tune the configurations since the wikis are still very WIP.

Balofo2 (talk) 01:00, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * For future reference, please make new requests by clicking the "Add Request" button as you copied the request at the very top, didn't remove the "not done" template from it and forgot to change some of the links from the wiki on the old request to this new request. Requests at the very top are often ignored as they're considered done so for your sake, please use the "Add Request" button next time. Now, while the wiki can be reopened, I would like to note that reopening a wiki does not equal you automatically gaining bureaucrat and sysop on the wiki. Once the wiki is reopened, you must stage a local election for the rights first and if no one contests it, you can be elected by acclamation. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, so what do I do now for reopening the gundam wiki? I will continue to edit the geass wiki. Balofo2 (talk) 05:04, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I've ✅ the wiki. In addition to Agent's advisement I intend to follow up with you on the account issues. You can either start a local election per above to regain rights in that way, or attempt to recover your account through alternate means - though, the first step for that is seeing if you have saved any of the one-time recovery codes you should have seen when first adding 2FA. If you lost those too, it's a good opportunity to advise you to save those somewhere else so you are not entirely dependent on your phone. --Raidarr (talk) 14:02, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, nope I don't have recovery codes(or remember if they were sent somewhere). Balofo2 (talk) 00:11, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Gabpull (talk) 01:03, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: cpi.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Gabpull (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: the page is not being managed and is out of date, I want to update the content
 * ✅. --Raidarr (talk) 13:07, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

arhet.miraheze.org
Mapping Expert (talk) 20:19, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: arhet.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Mapping Expert (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: I requested this wiki a long time ago, but due to lack of time I couldn't work on it. However, after making a request I was told that it is still active, but I cannot edit on it since my browser says it doesn't exist. So I want to open it again in order to work on it.
 * Mapping Expert, as the original, and current,  on this wiki, this has been ✅ for you. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 02:04, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Tannerzm (talk) 05:30, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki:
 * Username: Tannerzm (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:


 * Tannerzm, it looks like  was, unfortunately, closed, deleted, and dropped in this batch of deleted wikis in accordance with Dormancy Policy. As a   wiki, it would not be included in the publicly available Internet Archive backups that Reception123 does, but it may be in his private wiki backups. Your images won't be restorable, unfortunately, if you had any that is, as those aren't backed up. After ✅ your wiki, I have filed a Phabricator ticket, #T9005, for the XML import. Please follow along there. Dmehus (talk) 05:40, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Bimagv (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: im still writing
 * You’re a bureaucrat on this wiki so you can reopen this yourself. To do that, please click here and uncheck the "Closed" checkbox. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:44, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Huxtabl8 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason:
 * Why do you want this wiki reopened? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:44, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * So I can fix what the admin didn't do when it was open. Huxtabl8 (talk) 17:11, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Like what? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:12, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * A lot of pages were unfinished, the wiki was un-moderated so there was a lot of poorly written pages. Huxtabl8 (talk) 17:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
