 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I would like to continue slowly building the content of this wiki and hopefully encourage other members of the community to contribute also. Unfortunately we have lost touch with the previous admin / bureaucrat, so this would be a good opportunity for somebody slightly more active to adopt the wiki. Thank you for your consideration.

fantastictoys.miraheze.org
TheAnimeLover (talk) 12:16, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: fantastictoys.miraheze.org
 * Username: TheAnimeLover (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This wiki has been closed 2 months ago and no one wanted to adopt it since the creator left miraheze, I want to adopt it because I want to create more articles and this wiki has a lot of potential


 * Mentioning as the member who presided over the closure. Per the means of the wiki's closure, the wiki may be adopted normally or by simply by messaging a QP leader despite having been manually closed. Thus this should be able to be reopened for you perhaps without even requiring a Steward to engage, although these terms were set under the understanding the adopting user would receive "admincrat" rights as well - this would be DMM's discretion or would have to be done with a local election. For consistency I will ask you  do you wish to also adopt the Upsetting Toys Wiki, as the second of a 'matching pair' for consistency? If you only have article ideas/see potential in the one though, it's not necessary. --Raidarr (talk) 16:32, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tag. And I think I could assess this re-opening of the wiki, but will not be part of the Qualitipedia Network, but will be close by. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:37, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * just like the character reception wikis, the wiki should be reopened while at the same time it will be no longer part of the qualitypedias. TheAnimeLover (talk) 14:51, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Naturally, there is no obligation to be part of QP. There's nothing on the front page or elsewhere to imply that anyway. I'm assuming by the response above that Upsetting Toys is not desired at this time, so no action is needed there. --Raidarr (talk) 14:56, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * how is this (reopening the wiki, primarily) coming along? --Raidarr (talk) Raidarr (talk) 23:28, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll reopen the wiki now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:26, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * from a Steward perspective. The wiki is marked as private and the requesting user does not have read-rights per dormancy policy. Given above shows an active discussion between users with rights on the wiki, I will leave this to be resolved by said users rather than make an exception to policy.

 * Username: Superjig (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: We have the contents of the wiki, except it's in a google docs as of right now. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qVt71ph649Ws4VbQzwLi6SsX2CksxwkGRBiKiw8zJiY/edit?usp=sharing. The bureaucrat, Teatime has sadly gone terminally offline with no trace. I'd like to gain bureaucrat status in their absence and adopt the wiki.


 * Could you explain what you mean by "Teatime has sadly gone terminally offline with no trace"? Per the Recent Changes, they promoted you to temporary bureaucrat 2 days ago. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:52, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai they came back after a two month hiatus the day after I made the request.. I apologize for not mentioning this when I got promoted.
 * This has been resolved and can be closed. Thank you and have a pleasant day. Superjig (talk) 19:41, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am aware this wiki is not closed, but it was closed when I originally tried to adopt it. Dmehus later reopened it for me, but nothing was said afterwards, and it was wrongfully archived.
 * I've marked this as ❌ because if the wiki is not closed, then there is nothing for a Steward to do here and the previous adoption request is immaterial as well. All this process does is reopen the wiki. If you would like local permissions, you can get them by setting up a local election and putting the results on the Stewards' noticeboard for assessment if the reopening bureaucrat does not respond. --Raidarr (talk) 20:09, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

 * TylerMagee, it looks like this has been ✅, though local administration is not very active. I would, therefore, suggest making a few constructive contributions to the wiki, then requesting permissions somewhere prominently (i.e., a noticeboard, a page in  namespace), and then returning to stewards' noticeboard to request a Steward assess your local election request.

podpedia.miraheze.org
YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 04:02, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: podpedia.miraheze.org
 * Username: YellowFrogger (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Yes I know the wiki is not closed or inactive but completely abandoned with the last change being months ago (by a user who doesn't control the site, and mostly by a welcome extension bot with spambots being created on the site), you can even see them here in the recent changes. This wiki is important because it currently maintains 3K articles and doesn't deserve a deletion. With it abandoned, he runs the risk of suffering vandalism and other types of actions of bad faith and me perhaps being his administrator who would check or even contribute would be important for his continuation and would not be thrown out for once although I not edited it (or edited it a few times). And I know I have to do a local election, but I have to confirm it to you guys first here. If the owner (CooliCoister) of the site is alive, speak here, if he is alive and still accept that I control the site, I appreciate it. Also remember that I'm not robbing the site to make drastic changes to it, if it gets accepted I'll just be doing maintenance on it and contributing to more articles (although I haven't done anything there). Even if the author makes a few visits (if he is), he is unedited, that is, abandoned and done. Thanks for reading.
 * I am performing a user close of this request because the exclusive function of this page is to reopen a wiki that you cannot contribute to, and as you stated the wiki is open to contributing. You mentioned that there was an owner; while he has not contributed since well over a year ago (and nobody else appears to have substantively edited at all since July), he has been recently active on Miraheze. For full diligence you can contact him via talk page. The place has a surprising number of bureaucrats, but no recent activity of any kind. If he does not reply at all, you could perform a local election as-is since nothing in local policies (not that I found any) precludes it and the activity gap will have been sufficiently large (though the fact he founded the place, is still active and probably controls the domain are all good incentives to ensure a response). But if you contact and he offers you the rights himself, so much the better. Otherwise this is a topic strictly to be made and addressed on the Stewards' noticeboard, as it is essentially out of scope here. I do however intend to inform a particular Steward to check over recent entries here today, since a small backlog has been collected. If my observations are off I am sure he will comment so. --Raidarr (talk) 11:19, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * As discussed in private, you could probably stage an local election pursuant to global convention and be elected by acclamation should you run uncontested. As per Raidarr's comment, this ❌ under current global policy. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 17:02, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * and Thanks for the quick response, I would really love to adopt this wiki, however, can you tell how I would hold this local election? When making the election, would I wait a week or a few days? - this is my question about the time of the election, and if no have vote against and not against, would I still have a chance? And another question, I didn't do no edits on the wiki, does that take away my chances of adopting it? Although this is because I would be more happy to edit only after becoming a bureaucrat. Unfortunately, it looks like his answer for me will be a little difficult, he hasn't edited for 1 year and three months, meaning it's been a while, as he seems to be busy. The issue of the wiki being inactive, it's bad because the wiki doesn't seem to hold just bullshit and a little taste that I have for podcasts. YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 17:34, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Your chances do improve if you contribute as well as give an idea what you'd be contributing by doing so, although you don't strictly have to. It is not a formal process, indeed it's largely discretionary. It helps to be willing to edit without having powers in the first place as administration is ideally a more janitorial function and enhancer on top of what you are already doing. I wrote a piece that covers common pointers here that hopefully offers a usable gist. --Raidarr (talk) 18:58, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It would be one more chance to contribute to the project, but my fear here is that if I edit something inactive and it turns out it's not worth it at all? Given the inactivity of the editors, I think, the enthusiasm would be better if I edited with sysop rights already, because I think it would be more "worth it" and would have a better direction. Anyway, a while ago I looked at this wiki and didn't see any changes as usual, just spambots being created on the wiki and the welcome extension. There has already been a vandalism of the main page (in February 2021), which has been reversed by a global sysop, showing the inactivity of the wiki bureaucrats. YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 19:19, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Anyway, Agent Isai asked me to talk to CoolieCoister and he told me to wait at least 1 (one) week to get an answer. If he doesn't respond, then I do the local election. Is this correct (or do you agree) given your inactivity? YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 19:22, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * 1 week is a standard length to wait for input, and 1 week is also a standard length for the local election to run. So overall, giving this 2 weeks to play out makes sense to me yes, and would provide the Stewards with something solid to review. --Raidarr (talk) 20:05, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No thank you. I would wait fewer weeks as a result of Coolister inactivity, and since Doug is active now, he has experience to handle this case, so I'll tag him: YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 20:23, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * As mentioned initially, Coolster is available on Miraheze. He last edited within the week. Local elections presided by Stewards exist to offer a wiki administration where none is accessible. While they are not indeed present on the wiki, there has been no effort through the wiki itself (perhaps he has global notifications on and would get a message on his talk page right on the wiki?) or wider Miraheze (where he is demonstratively present) to get in contact. Being aware that they have been present in the last week and skipping straight to the election on a wiki he founded and probably is the actual domain owner for would be derelict, imo. But indeed I leave further discussion and discretion to Dmehus. --Raidarr (talk) 20:29, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

In addition to what's been said above, while a local election could be held, in cases like this with long aged wikis, I'd probably courtesy ping CoolieCoolster to assess the local election request locally, given their somewhat recent global activity and long tenure within the community. If the wiki suffers from spam, unreverted vandalism, the proper place to report this is either (a) stewards' noticeboard or, so we can take care of it. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 20:42, 19 December 2021 (UTC)


 * This time I didn't know it was active on a Miraheze wiki. Glad you quoted this wiki. So I have to wait a few days and I'll try to get in touch on one of those wikis he's recently edited. The site maintains its own domain, so it must pay for the maintenance of the site (although it doesn't even edit there). Either way, leaving me as a podpedia user with rights would be relevant so there are no edits on the site, and I would try to somehow edit it. If he doesn't want me there, then I won't be able to do anything. <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 20:44, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * He probably wouldn't accept me as a user with rights there, for the simple reason that I haven't actively contributed to the site, so chances are lower that he'll accept. If he accepts (definitely believing me) he's very nice and I'm grateful to him for giving me a chance to edit and keep the site down, in addition to my fondness for podcasts. <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 20:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * YellowFrogger, I would recommend contributing to the wiki in some fashion, even if it's just undoing or reverting vandalism, tagging vandalism or spam pages for deletion, and the like. As a constructive contributor to the wiki, you can request certain minor permissions (i.e.,,  , and  ) from local administrators. If local administrators are not recently active, you can request a Steward to perform this function, but do be sure to point out the wiki's local user permissions granting policies. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 20:52, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You should have messaged me sooner; I've granted you administrator rights on Podpedia to make whichever changes you believe would improve it from its current state. I admit the lack of readership the wiki had led me to lose interest, so if you have an idea of how to improve Podpedia to make it interesting beyond the few pages that currently appear on search engines, feel free to implement changes! While I still have much to work on in regards to my current wiki, if you have any questions regarding the format of Podpedia, feel free to message me again. CoolieCoolster (talk) 21:50, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for granting administrator rights on the wiki, although I would like to be a bureaucrat (sorry for the bold question) to make changes especially on the outdated theme which makes it difficult to see the history, or the edit button which is hidden, to add some important extensions to avoid Lua module errors (and also I don't have a lot of time, but that was my request). His complaint in saying that "few pages show up in search engines" is primarily due to Miraheze's not-so-good SEO (because you build your own SEO using WikiSEO, this extension is disabled on the wiki) and according to some content is copied from Wikipedia. Search engines do not like duplicate content and always try to use original content that you create yourself. There are a lot of podcast pages that don't exist on Wikipedia - and this is a chance for us to create original content instead of duplicating Wikipedia's, because, in addition to being unoriginal, it gets in the way of search engines. Also, wiki hits aren't that bad, according to MatomoAnalytics, around 1,500 hits for an outdated site - I've seen worse. I will try to use the limited little knowledge in some podcasts to maybe create a little bit of content on this wiki and probably raise "even a little bit" it, as podcasting is the fad at the moment and English language wikis achieve something else. Of course, without copying the content from Wikipedia and activating WikiSeo for us to see something. <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 22:23, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Yes
 * Reason:
 * Per your CentralAuth, you seem to be local bureaucrat of the wiki. As a bureaucrat, you yourself can reopen your wiki. To do so, go to Special:ManageWiki/core (direct link to your wiki) on your wiki and uncheck the "Closed" checkbox. If you need anything else, let us know. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 08:22, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Agent Isai Note that the user is not required to add the  suffix. Special:ManageWiki will suffice. The   suffix is really for ManageWiki interwiki changes that Stewards perform from time to time from Meta Wiki. Dmehus (talk) 16:13, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Raintwinkleworkouttie, ✅ per your request. Though, as Agent Isai suggested above, you could've done this yourself, like you even did previously back in September 2020. Nevertheless, whether you had the technical means to do or so not does not preclude me from guiding you, by way of demonstration, on how to reopen your wiki. Should this occur again, just go to here, untick any 'closed' and/or 'inactive' boxes, enter a brief log summary, and hit 'save'. Thanks. :) Dmehus (talk) 16:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Reason: While I don't know anything about the subject and I don't have any interest in becoming its new owner, the wiki has every right to exist and there are some things I could improve on. FatBurn0000 (talk) 02:57, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * FatBurn0000, with apologies for the delayed response, but given that this wiki has only two or three pages, which propose to highlight "good" and "bad" qualities, none of which are cited reliably, this wiki was likely questionably approved, at best. Given the high potential for Content Policy issues, this would need a local wiki administration team that is not only active and fully familiar with all of our global policies, but also incredibly well versed in the subject matter of the wiki in question. By your own admission, you have no knowledge of the wiki and have no interest in maintaining it as a local bureaucrat/administrator, so the mere fact you just want to add a page or two is not sufficient to warrant reopening this wiki. Moreover, Dormancy Policy even prescribes that wikis may exist, so long as they have active editors willing to maintain them, and I believe to reopen the wiki, so you can make a few edits, would be upending the spirit, if not the letter, of Dormancy Policy. Accordingly, I'm marking this as ❌, but should you later desire to learn more about the subject, you can request a wiki for wiki creators to review, provided you take care to define a clear purpose and scope for your wiki, and clearly describe (a) the type of content it will contain and (b) not run afoul of our global policies.

 * Just for curiousity: why do you want to adopt a wiki with so few edits? Wouldn't it be easier to request a new wiki? --LilyLilyu - smile.svg talk and I will listen · Lilypond Wiki 19:24, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Although it has few edits/articles, the wiki already has an old positioning (improves in searches) and already has some articles ready. A new wiki has to request and wait to be accepted, and start all over again: page, etc. There are reasons for him to adopt an old wiki --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 19:30, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * At first I asked for a Detective Conan Wiki (here) and they told me there was already one and to check it out, but I saw that the current bureaucrat I was not active so I am applying for the position of bureaucrat on the wiki, I am waiting for an answer.

 * Anass ✅ for you. Should you require any permissions below, such as  ,  , and/or  , you can request this from Stewards in lieu of locally available administrators at stewards' noticeboard. Otherwise, please contribute to the wiki, then request permissions locally on your wiki. After a week or two, you can request a Steward assess your election in lieu of locally available bureaucrats. It's also recommended you request a local sitenotice for your permissions request, which you again can request from Stewards to implement. Alternatively, if you require any ManageWiki changes, Stewards can be requested to effect this too. :) Dmehus (talk) 15:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Reason: I was inactive for a while and now I am ready to get working back on this wiki the inactivity was due to IRL problems, so I want to claim back my wiki if you can please Lunar Spectrum (talk) 11:19, 24 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, you are already the bureaucrat on oureurovisioneshwiki. You can go to the Special:ManageWiki/core of your wiki (link) and uncheck the closed option to reopen your wiki. Thanks! Magogre (talk) 11:40, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Magogre, thank for your reply. Please do note that the  suffix is not needed to manage the core wiki functions on local wikis. This is only required when managing a wiki's core functions from Meta Wiki (because you have to add the wiki's database name following that). In other words, while it will still work, it is an unnecessary redundancy and extraneous text. Note that you can test this by going to Special:ManageWiki/blubabluba (note the   suffix, which does not exist anywhere in the ManageWiki codebase). I've also let Agent Isai know of this, too. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:20, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , oh. Thanks for the clarification. :) Magogre (talk) 09:55, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Lunar Spectrum, as Magogre indicated above, you can go into Special:ManageWiki, untick 'closed' and/or 'inactive', enter a brief log summary, and then hit 'save' to reopen your wiki. Nevertheless, I've ✅ for you this time. Dmehus (talk) 23:15, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: countryhumansru.miraheze.org
 * Username: ZoomBoom Artist (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: So the first thing is that I am a huge CountryHumans fan, I have been in the fandom for 3 years, so I know a lot about CountryHumans. Second, the creators/creators of the wiki for some reason made it private, which is why no one could read the wiki, edit and create new pages on the wiki, and I really want to get this wiki done. Please!
 * I'm not a steward or anything, but I'm fairly confident you can't adopt private wikis unless you're a member. You should probably ask a bureaucrat to give you member rights. FatBurn0000 (talk) 23:27, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If the wiki was closed without community consent and for the intention of making it impossible to adopt, I suggest making a case on the Stewards' noticeboard. Otherwise this is indeed not possible to do in accordance with policy. I've marked it not done as a user, since the wiki being set to private places it outside the process of this page. --Raidarr (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * ZoomBoom Artist Having reviewed the wiki, I can confirm that this wiki was normally closed in accordance with Dormancy Policy. Only its original requestor, MrBendy777, has local  permissions on the wiki, and there have been no log entries to the wiki's user rights log. The wiki was last edited 13 September 2021 so should be deleted around that time in March 2022. Unless you are the alternate account of MrBendy777, in which case, you will need to sign in to MrBendy777 to confirm this, you will, unfortunately, need to choose a new subdomain.

So until the group that began this comes together again, I hope to continue the work and expand the opportunity for developing its rich lore. Thank you.
 * Augustus, ✅ the wiki per your request. If you require any rights below  or if you require any ManageWiki changes, you can request these at stewards' noticeboard from a Steward in absence of locally available administration. Should you require additional permissions, such as   or , please hold a local election, following these guidelines, then request a Steward to assess your election after at least five (5) to (7) calendar days have passed. Additionally, it's strongly recommended you request a local sitenotice advertising your election from a Steward. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 16:08, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Reason: This wiki need to our project, so I want to take ownership of this wiki.
 * Onakin, thank you for your request to have this wiki reopened. While it looks to have closed automatically according to Dormancy Policy, I am familiar with this wiki, as it serves as a sort of central coordination wiki for a group of Japanese language wikis. As your account was only created a little over 24 hours ago, you are not a pre-existing contributor to this wiki's community, so I'm curious as to why you're wanting to have it reopened, given its limited purpose and scope outside of the group of Japanese language wikis? Have you used any prior Miraheze accounts and, if so, are you able to login from that account and reply here confirming the same? This would help me tremendously for the purposes of assessing your request. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 23:48, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Dmehus,thank you for your reply. I want to restart this wiki because I want to develop it project. This project does various things from Japanese dictionaries to railway encyclopedias. I like it, but this wiki that summarizes them has stopped. I was just a visitor, but I created an account to restart this wiki. This is the answer to your question. Thank you.
