 * Wiki: kids.miraheze.org
 * Username: Krishnaheda
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:


 * Unfortunately, this is ❌ as for multiple reasons. Firstly, the wiki is not closed, so is not eligible for adoption. Secondly, it is a private wiki, so is not eligible for adoption. Your best bet would be to go Special:RequestWikiQueue on Meta, enter  in the database name field, then contact that requestor, as, presumably, the still current   on the wiki, and ask them to appoint you as   and  . Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 16:24, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Reason:
 * If you don't give info of which wiki you want to adopt, we can't help you, ❌ HeartsDo (Talk || Global || Wiki Creator) 14:32, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To add to what said,, I have fixed your request, but this wiki database name ❌, so this simply ❌. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:02, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

isv.miraheze.org
Asank (talk) 16:20, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: isv.miraheze.org
 * Username: Asank
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: The wiki is closed - reason no editing within 60 days. That's sadly not true because the last user was on 1 november and the last edit on 30 October. The wiki is still useful, mainly the Vikisbornik part, there are new texts added in the Sbornik:Negotove teksty article, as a repository of Interslavic texts.
 * It's possible new user accounts being attached to a wiki aren't counted as eligible activity, depending on if all or most Special:RecentChanges activity counts. Nevertheless, I do see recent page creations as at 15 October 2020 on this wiki, so I will file a Phabricator task. There's something broken in the code. Dmehus (talk) 17:21, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm going to close this as ❌ as this wiki should not have been closed, and have requested a steward manually reopen the wiki for you. You can track this on Phabricator at T6434. Thanks Dmehus (talk) 17:27, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * has reopened this wiki for you. 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) 17:44, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

isv.miraheze.org
Vogand (talk) 18:58, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: isv.miraheze.org
 * 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)
 * so I don't have to do anything? --Vogand (talk) 11:02, 13 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)

athas.miraheze.org
Avengium (talk) 13:55, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: athas.miraheze.org
 * Username: Avengium
 * 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).

batman.miraheze.org
R4356th (talk) 14:40, 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)

 * Reason: Want to change some things of organization of the wiki and also fix links, categories, etc.

After that, you'll have at least a week to contribute to the wiki, after which the steward will review your activity and grant rights if successful. Dmehus (talk) 11:48, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, the wiki has now been reopened. -- Void  Whispers 02:01, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Wiki: marveloustvshowepisodes.miraheze.org
 * Username: Waldo
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I want to revive the wiki so that anyone can share episodes from television shows they like, in a friendly manner. I know some people may want to use a wiki like this at some point. I will add pages and edit existing ones if my request is accepted.
 * Thank you for your valid adoption request. 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. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 13:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I and others often used this wiki, and I want to use this wiki more.

 * Username: Superjig
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I'm an assistant developer of the mod and this wiki is needed for documentation purposes
 * 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.

IvanTheGreat (talk) 19:49, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: pokemon.miraheze.org
 * Username: IvanTheGreat
 * Are you a bureaucrat: no
 * Reason: The original owner was compromised/hacked, and I wanna own the wiki myself
 * ❌ The wiki is still opened and therefore not eligible to adoption.HeartsDo (Talk || Global || Wiki Creator) 19:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * But the guy was hacked... How rude IvanTheGreat (talk) 20:00, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * If you really want rights on the wiki, you can always hold a local election on it and ask to steward on Stewards' noticeboard after 7 days minimum. But, you can't adopt it because there are not closed. :( HeartsDo (Talk || Global || Wiki Creator) 20:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you for requesting to adopt this wiki. I will ping to this thread to reopen the wiki, allowing you to constructively edit the wiki for at least a week. 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.

After at least a week of constructive edits,  will review your edits and grant rights per a successful adoption. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 03:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

LeoKids (talk) 19:27, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: fantendo.miraheze.org
 * Username: LeoKids
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason:
 * Unfortunately, this is ❌ per steward convention that manually closed wikis are ineligible for adoption. Thus, you will need to reach out to, and see if they will reopen this wiki for you, perhaps granting you local rights on the wiki in keeping with the wiki's locally and community established policies. As to  this cannot be undertaken as the wiki does not exist, so I've assumed it was a typographical error and a duplication of this request, and have removed it. Please advise if in error. Thanks.

General I80 (talk) 01:51, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: publictransport.miraheze.org
 * Username: General I80
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: I see that this wiki is not in use, and I feel like rebooting it.
 * Thank you for your request for adoption. A steward should review your request in the next week or two, and re-open the wiki. 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. Dmehus (talk) 03:43, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, the wiki has now been reopened. -- Void  Whispers 01:58, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for taking so long to get back to this, is there still interest in this request? -- Void  Whispers 22:04, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I'm closing this as ❌ as looking at contributions on the local wiki, I see only two (2) edits, creating two sub-stub pages consisting of a single sentence each. Thus, I'm not satisfied with the activity on the wiki to date. Please reply to this thread if it hasn't been archived yet if there's still interest in adoption; otherwise, feel free to submit a new request. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, I'm closing this as ❌ as looking at contributions on the local wiki, I see only one (1) edit, creating a single category page. Thus, I'm not satisfied with the activity on the wiki to date.

 * Wiki: templates.miraheze.org
 * Username: Zcook1052
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Want to change some things of organization of the wiki and also fix links, categories, etc.


 * There is no wiki at templates.miraheze.org. Did you mean template.miraheze.org? R4356th (talk) 19:41, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * As R4356th articulated above, this wiki does not exist. If you mean Miraheze Template Wiki, this wiki is ineligible for adoption as it has been exempted to the policy as one of the main Miraheze community wikis. If there's a specific thing you need, please let me know on my local user talk page on that wiki. If it's a matter of needing a specific user right added to a minor local user group that can be granted, that can likely be undertaken in one of my local capacities.

rainwatercollab.miraheze.org

 * Wiki: rainwatercollab.miraheze.org
 * Username: Ianvangiesen
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: Attempting to revive my own wiki-page, with hopes of making this somewhat of a companion to the wikiversity section on rainwater harvesting I am also working on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianvangiesen (talk • contribs) 20:36, 20 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, it looks like you have locally reopened the wiki so I have changed this request's status to "Locally handled". You can do this on any wiki you are a bureaucrat on. Thank you. R4356th (talk) 20:52, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * If your wiki has a sufficient number of content pages, and on looking at Special:AllPages on your wiki, it appears that it does, and you have a need for an exemption to Dormancy Policy, you can make a request at Stewards' noticeboard, and a Steward will review your request (usually fairly quickly) and action it accordingly. Dmehus (talk) 21:42, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

template.miraheze.org
This is the right wiki (template.miraheze.org). Zcook1052 (talk) 23:07, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: template.miraheze.org
 * Username: Zcook1052
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Want to change some things of organization of the wiki and also fix links, categories, etc.


 * Right, and I get that, but as in my comments above, this cannot be undertaken as the wiki is (a) not closed per Dormancy Policy and (b) not eligible for adoption. I invite you instead to message me either (a) here or (b) here on what it is you're looking to do specifically on Miraheze Template Wiki. If it's a matter of needing to move pages or templates without leaving a redirect or import templates, I can grant you local permissions in my local capacities.

 * There is no need to adopt this wiki as you are a  on this wiki. Please go into Special:ManageWiki on your wiki, uncheck "closed," and hit "submit," entering an optional summary. When done, return to requests for adoption, and update me here that it is been reopened, so I can update the status. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 05:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Username: Chabi
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): YES
 * Reason:
 * Hello, you can go to Special:ManageWiki on your wiki to reopen this wiki by unchecking "Closed" yourself since you are a bureaucrat. I hope this helps. Thank you. R4356th (talk) 12:10, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Please advise when you have gone back into ManageWiki and unchecked the closed box. While I can do this for you as a steward, as it is clearly a request from the local wiki to do so, I believe that it is better to give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime, and have you do it, so you will know how to do this in the future. Dmehus (talk) 15:33, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Wiki: crappypasta.miraheze.org
 * Username: Tali64³
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: The founder of the wiki hasn't made a single contribution to it, and I want to start it up.
 * ❌ Wiki is opened, you should engage a local election if you need rights HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 17:56, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * As HeartsDo mentioned above, I'll just add the following helpful instructions. 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) 17:59, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * There aren't any active users on the wiki, other than me. Tali64³ (talk) 20:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, can you create a local election page on the wiki, like this one? Leave it open for at least seven (7) calendar days, then report your local election to Stewards via Stewards' noticeboard and, after several more days, it can be closed by a Steward in absence of a locally active bureaucrat.

 * It was originally closed for numerous violations of the Code of Conduct and breached the Content Policy after numerous warnings from sysops and stewards to stop with their misbehavior. If you wish to learn more about why it happened, feel free to contact a steward or sysop. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:39, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * How do you know what is even on that wiki? You have no local user groups on that wiki, unless you have a prior account. If that's the case, and that's completely fine, I would just remind you to read user accounts policy and to adhere to it.

 * 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)

 * I'm not sure if is your legitimate alternate account or not, so perhaps you could clarify, ideally with confirmations from both accounts, whether this is the case or not. Apologies for the delay in assessing your adoption request. Anyway, I trust you're still interested in this request, but, presumably, were just busy during the Christmas holiday period. While the edits made were fairly minor, you certainly compensate in terms of quantity of edits. Crucially, you've been an active contributing member of this community going back a full year or more. Accordingly, this LGTM, and so this is ✅, with   and   rights added to your account. As a helpful reminder, local wikis are run according locally developed guidelines, rules, and other practices developed by the consensus formed from local wikis' communities.

 * This ✅ also, as the wiki was not manually closed by a local  (indeed, it was barely even edited, if at all). Though a user should not request to adopt every wiki, as far as I'm aware, you have not successfully adopted any wiki yet. Plus, since this and the above wiki are related, broadly, to the topic of free and open source software for which this wiki will include a focus on women software programmers, it would make sense for you to potentially adopt and build out both wikis, 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.

 * SpongeBobFan99 Make sure you request local rights at here. Dmehus (talk) 19:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

SpongeBobFan99 I have granted you admin and if you do a good job I will promote you to crate, I will also try to work on the wiki this week as well, so we do got a lot of work to do!

 * Wiki: abysmalthetoptennersandlists.miraheze.org
 * Username: KalloFox34
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I believe that the wiki has genuine potential, and it's probably for the best that it gets a new owner instead of dying off.
 * I'm going to mark this request as ❌, mainly because this wiki has essentially zero content, and its sole contributors, essentially, deleted/anonymized users. Moreover, from a procedural standpoint, given how near this wiki is to deletion per Dormancy Policy, you would be better off requesting a wiki, taking care to define a clear purpose and scope for your wiki. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:15, 29 January 2021 (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)

 * 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)

 * I'm not satisfied with the level of the activity on this wiki since it was reopened in nearly two months. There's been little more than 10 edits, all of which have been very minor. Additionally, while may not be active on that wiki, they are active on other Miraheze wikis, so I'd perhaps suggest reaching out to them at User talk:Space0720 and/or User talk:DuchessTheSponge locally. You may also wish to hold a local election on the local wiki, which local bureaucrat(s) or Stewards, in their stead, can assess. Accordingly, I'm making this is ❌ to finalize this adoption request.

 * 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)

 * DuchessTheSponge Oh, that's great, thanks for your reply. Ice cake 2543 has been fairly active on that wiki, mainly with small-ish WikiGnome-type edits. Expressing my personal opinion as a community member, they could likely due well to have  and , as those tools may help with their editing contributions and reverting vandalism.

 * 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)

So, I'd like you to consider my adoption request in advance. Thanks.

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  .

 * 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.

 * 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.
