 * Wiki: geopolitik.miraheze.org
 * Username: Isle
 * 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)
 * The wiki has been reopened. -- Void  Whispers 02:04, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (not sure which of you to ping). Is there still an interest in this request? -- Void  Whispers 22:10, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 06:09, 21 December 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.

Justarandomliberal (talk) 09:54, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: 2020.miraheze.org
 * Username: Justarandomliberal
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This is a wiki dedicated to an interesting year, to say the least, and I would like to maintain it.
 * Justarandomliberal Interesting and good choice for a wiki to adopt, given the circumstances and events of 2020. 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. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks (quite possibly sooner), 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) 16:07, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Justarandomliberal 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) 01:25, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

R4356th (talk) 12:42, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: foss.miraheze.org
 * Username: R4356th
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am a big fan of open source and would like to add content to this wiki. It currently one has one page (which is Main Page).
 * 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) 16:25, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for both this one and the following request! R4356th (talk) 16:38, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

womenintech.miraheze.org
R4356th (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: womenintech.miraheze.org
 * Username: R4356th
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am a feminist and would love to add content to this wiki. It does not have any page without Main Page (which has never even been edited) at the moment.
 * 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. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 16:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This wiki has apparently not been opened yet. R4356th (talk) 21:50, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Never mind. It appears to be a technical issue. I will report this on Discord. R4356th (talk) 21:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅, thanks to Void. R4356th (talk) 22:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Waldo (talk) 01:32, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: terrifictvnetworks.miraheze.org
 * Username: Waldo
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I think people may find this wiki good, so I think reopening it to be fine. I intend to be active in editing it.
 * The wiki has been reopened for you to actively contribute to the wiki over the next two weeks, after which a steward will assess your activity level quantitatively and qualitatively and grant rights if successful. Please make sure you make an edit on this wiki within the next hour or two, otherwise I will need to make an edit to prevent the wiki from being reclosed the next time the inactivity script is run. As a reminder, too, that per Dormancy Policy, you should not adopt every wiki, but seeing as this would only be your second adopted wiki because this would be a sister or brother wiki to your recently adopted wiki, it should be fine. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:43, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

llengobalear.miraheze.org
I have been quite busy recently but now I have more time to dedicate to this wiki. Chabi (talk) 12:00, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: llengobalear.miraheze.org
 * 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 has been reopened locally by Chabi. Therfore, I will mark this as ✅. HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 13:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Wiki: railrover.miraheze.org
 * Username: Alex40138
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: To take ownership of Wiki to prevent deletion
 * 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) 18:06, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Jigsaw Vernon (talk) 05:03, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: ideawiki.miraheze.org
 * Username: Jigsaw Vernon
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Yes
 * Reason: I am the creator of the wiki and I want to open it again
 * 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)
 * I already reopened it, thanks for the help Jigsaw Vernon (talk) 15:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem, and that's ✅ to hear. Dmehus (talk) 15:42, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Dominic DeVito (talk) 14:08, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: Spectrobes.miraheze.org
 * Username: Dominic DeVito
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * please complete the request format or else this won’t be done. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 14:39, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * While I agree with Zppix above that you should've also completed this adoption request for procedural expediency and efficiency, it would be rather bureaucratic to decline this request on that basis alone. As such, this ✅ as the wiki was not manually closed by a local bureaucrat, 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) 16:04, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I should of worded it better... i meant like for it to come off as a possibility. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 16:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi, you are bureaucrat on this wiki so you can reopen it by visiting Special:ManageWiki on your wiki. HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 13:07, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

crappypasta.miraheze.org
Tali64³ (talk) 16:07, 3 January 2021 (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.

Imperator Maximajorian (talk) 17:29, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: toxicfandomsandhatedoms.miraheze.org
 * Username: Imperator Maximajorian
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I would like to please adopt the Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms Wiki so that I can keep it from slipping into the ether.


 * 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)
 * this will not be done as its a steward closed wiki. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 18:06, 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. As a best practice, you should self-disclose all prior account(s) you may have had. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Reason: I was for a days inactive, but I'm using again this wiki
 * Hi, your wiki is not closed, just marked as inactive. As you are bureaucrat, you can go on Special:ManageWiki and uncheck "Inactive" for remove the notice. Therfore, I will mark this at ❌ HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 19:33, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

realtimefandubgameswiki.miraheze.org

 * Wiki: realtimefandubgameswiki.miraheze.org
 * Username: CostinTea
 * Are you a bureaucrat? No
 * Reason: The wiki has been locked as a result of inactivity, and I want to migrate material from there to the Wiki I own on FANDOM.

CostinTea (talk) 13:48, 6 January 2021 (UTC)


 * This request for adoption seems fine; however, since I note that you aim to migrate material to the Fandom fork wiki of the same name, if it is not your intent to adopt this wiki, would you prefer if I just generated you XML and and image dumps of this wiki that you can import into Fandom? Thanks Dmehus (talk) 15:01, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @Dmehus That's a swell alternative and I would appreciate that. Thank you very much for your quick response! CostinTea (talk) 15:08, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. I will generate the dumps now. Can you e-mail  and reference your wiki username CostinTea, so I know where to e-mail it? Actually, better yet, I'll upload them WeTransfer, and post the dump links here. Dmehus (talk) 15:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll send my email to you as soon as possible. CostinTea (talk) 15:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This is now ✅. Select that external hyperlink in order to download the wiki's XML and image dumps. I have verified the images in the image dump, and opened the XML file successfully in Notepad++. Dmehus (talk) 15:25, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have downloaded the files you provided. Thanks once again! @Dmehus CostinTea (talk) 10:48, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅, and no problem. The files will be automatically deleted after a week. Dmehus (talk) 15:52, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: community.miraheze.org
 * Username: Justarandomliberal
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Per my proposal at the Community noticeboard.


 * Justarandomliberal I do not think this can be adopted just yet. I however am not sure and am therefore leaving it for Stewards without making any status changes. Thank you. R4356th (talk) 15:18, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It's meant for when and if the proposal at the community noticeboard is accepted. Justarandomliberal (talk) 15:22, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Justarandomliberal In that case, I suggest you to wait for the community to share its opinion. R4356th (talk) 15:25, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll take your suggestion and put this adoption request on hold, nominator request. Justarandomliberal (talk) 15:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
