 * Wiki:
 * Username: Gabyp112 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: A long time ago I was a constant editor on this wiki, but due to personal problems I had to leave the wiki for a while. Now that I have more free time I wanted to edit on this wiki, but apparently the owners of this wiki have not wanted to give much importance to it, to the point of not having edited for 60 days. That's why I want to be the new owner of this wiki, because I think I can create more pages and run this wiki better.
 * ✅. Please note that the wiki cannot necessarily be 'owned'; you need to request management access via a local election, the general idea I cover in this essay. In the waiting time you can go ahead and start tweaking things/making pages and as long as nothing special appears/the management has truly left, the rights will likely be granted. --Raidarr (talk) 12:52, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: LegoSteve55 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: the Earth 98 Wiki was a fun wiki to visit, but sadly it has been abandoned by its owners. Hence, I would like to adopt the wiki and preserve it, maybe even help expand on it.
 * ✅. If you would like to 'adopt" in terms of getting advanced rights, please see the linked essay as it's slightly involved. --Raidarr (talk) 01:19, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: LisafBia (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I want to have this wiki. I held a local election, but nobody voted.
 * In that case, you should state where you held the local election and request the permissions at Stewards' noticeboard. Then, a steward will examine the election. Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 13:31, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Matt is correct and this does appear to have been taken to the SN, where I intend to address it... probably tomorrow given the late time for me here. --Raidarr (talk) 01:45, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Volpit (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I need that page because I lost its content (I didn't have a backup). Also I wanted to modify somethings regarding the info shown there. Thanks
 * Hi, your wiki was permanently deleted on 28 February 2021, so it cannot be 'adopted' since it no longer exists. However, it's likely that I still have a backup for your wiki. I would suggest re-requesting a wiki (mentioning that you want to recreate your old wiki) and then opening a task on Phabricator requesting that the backup is restored.

 * Wiki:
 * Username: BumbleBee2 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): I’m the founder, but I can’t access Special:ManageWiki/core because it’s closed.
 * Reason: I have been inactive on this wiki for quite a while do you taking an hiatus from writing. That hiatus has ended. I was not aware of the dormancy policy and this wiki hold sentimental value to me.
 * unfortunately (assuming there is no issue in the domain name) the wiki appears not only to have been deleted, I can't find the database - so, per above, it has likely already been dropped. I will cc to confirm that the above advice of re-requesting the wiki and getting it imported with Phabricator still applies. Unfortunately if the wiki was private, this will not be possible. --Raidarr (talk) 01:36, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * My wiki was private. What I find strange is the day I entered the request I could find some traces of the wiki. In my Global Account information I found see my wiki listed. I while before I wrote the request I couldn’t access the Special:ManageWiki, later that day I could. Strangely I couldn’t edit anything and the closed and deleted boxes where not checked out. But the next day both where gone. This may mean to permanently deleted the day after I requested it back.
 * The wiki was just deleted two days ago unfortunately, but you're in luck as there's still an XML dump available. Please re-request a wiki and then request that the backup is restored on Phabricator. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:13, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Yes
 * Reason: I didn't know how to manage a wiki on mobile, besides having few users and ideas, but now, I have new ideas and know how to manage a wiki on mobile.
 * Hi there, you can restore the wiki by going to your local ManageWiki core page and unticking 'Closed'. --Raidarr (talk) 01:32, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: It's deleted - I'm hoping still recoverable.
 * unfortunately it is . But I believe the advice in above sections, including to re-request the wiki and open a task on Phabricator to restore a remaining backup should be possible. cc to confirm this. --Raidarr (talk) 11:57, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Chuchewie (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: I would like to edit something on the wiki
 * Hello, the wiki is not closed and thus cannot be reopened. I would advise you to check out the Dormancy Policy about the process of reopening wikis. Also, this wiki is set as private, so even it is closed, it cannot be undertaken unless you are part of the “members” user group. I am not so comfortable marking this as not done on my own since I am not a steward, so pinging Raidarr (a steward) for further confirmation. Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 14:03, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Marking as ❌ per above. The wiki isn't closed, only privated. Please contact local administrators for help. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:21, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: JackiusMaximus (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: I have another version on wikia and wanna keep one on this site as a backup
 * Unfortunately the wiki is gone and there is no database on server to recover. While we could possibly pull from a backup, if you're just trying to make an authorized mirror from Fandom and if there wasn't much there then I would recommend re-requesting the wiki. Let me know if you want us to look into the backups (which should exist as long as the wiki was public). --Raidarr (talk) 12:06, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Jonathan123 and I would like to improve the wiki.
 * This is unfortunate since both and  should have been aware of your request for this and could have done it without global intervention. In any case it's been ✅. I'd recommend getting in contact to transfer rights if you're interested in operating the wiki since it is clear their priorities are elsewhere. --Raidarr (talk) 12:11, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay here. I'll give ZeusDeGoose the admin rights immediately. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:18, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki 1:
 * Wiki 2:
 * Username: KENNY STEWART 6284
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: "no edits or log actions made within the last 60 days" is rubbish. I made a new page 3 weeks ago, some new edits are shown like YouTube (View History)
 * The wiki is closed manually by consensus of the qualitipedia community. It can only be reopened if the websites wikis are reformed, cleaned up, and new rules are developed to prevent previous issues with the website wikis from happening. (Per closer’s advise of the RfC). -Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 04:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Per above the wikis have been manually closed. I understand that the default close message is not helpful and maybe the sitenotice I added is not prominent enough. It's something that should be adjusted at a Miraheze level (specifying closure reason) or perhaps manually changed short-term. I encourage you to comment on this through the talk page of the RfC if you have commentary, suggestions etc that would change things. --Raidarr (talk) 12:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Reason: I'm the founder of this wiki. The last edit was more than 60 days ago. Due to my other work, I failed to make another edit since then. I tried to go to Special:ManageWiki/core, but couldn't uncheck the boxes. This is one of my only options.
