 * Reason: Had writer's block for a while. Will continue to add content.
 * ❌ As you are bureaucrat of this wiki, you can reopen it manually at Special:ManageWiki/core (direct link to page) by unmarking "Closed".  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:32, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Agent Isai Talk to me! 01:14, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: clubpenguin.miraheze.org
 * Username: Agent Isai
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I want to use this wiki to mirror the Club Penguin Wiki
 * Agent Isai Unfortunately, this can't ❌ because the wiki is not closed in accordance with Dormancy Policy. Even if it were closed in accordance with Dormancy Policy, as this would mark a significant departure from this wiki's approved purpose and scope in that it would be completely repurposed as a backup wiki for another Club Penguin wiki you maintain, I'd be inclined only to reopen the wiki and require a community discussion with the wiki's community in order to make this change. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 21:12, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

bestepisodes.miraheze.org
Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: bestepisodes.miraheze.org
 * Username: Blubabluba9990
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki is close to being closed, and until I can get unblocked from Qualitipedia I can continue to work on the wiki. Also, all three of the admins on the wiki are globally locked.


 * Specifically, since this wiki has not been merged yet with Best Shows & Episodes Wiki, I can contribute to the wiki until I get unblocked on Qualitipedia. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:40, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm going to mark this as ❌ for a couple reasons, one of which is similar to the above request by Agent Isai. As you noted, the wiki's users are all globally locked, two of which were self-requested locks, if I'm remembering correctly, and one of which was a Terms of Use ban by Trust and Safety's predecessor, Site Reliability Engineering. That, though, is not one of the reasons for declining this request. For one thing, this wiki has been moribund since mid February 2021 and is slated to be marked for deletion in the next two weeks. With less than five content pages on this wiki, I do not see a compelling reason to depart somewhat from the Dormancy Policy established process in what feels like a bit of a hail Mary attempt to stave off deletion of a wiki which attracted no interest in nearly the entire time. If there's interest in this, then you can either (a) request a wiki with a different subdomain, defining a clear purpose and scope for the wiki in accordance with Content Policy and then request on Phabricator to rename the wiki when this subdomain is available in few weeks or (b) wait a few weeks until the wiki's subdomain is available after the wiki's database is dropped. Finally, by your own admission, Best TV Shows and Episodes Wiki is in the process of being merged, so it's not clear why we should upend that local community process, at least not without discussing it with that wiki's local community)? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:23, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was saying that Best Episodes Wiki was not merged and is not in the process of merging with Best Shows & Episodes Wiki. Best Episodes Wiki has not been discovered by the admins at Best Shows & Episodes Wiki and the former seems to be, like you said, abandoned and forgotten about. Additionally, I am blocked on Best Shows & Episodes Wiki for reasons discussed on Steward's noticeboard. And yes, two of the global locks were self-requested.

Pogdog (talk) 22:55, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: con.miraheze.org
 * Username: Pogdog
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The Wiki is out of date and no longer maintained, which is a shame as the community is still growing. As a long time member of the community, I would love to help contribute to keeping it alive. Thank you for your consideration.


 * I am glad to see your interest in this wiki however I see you made 0 edits made any edits. I would suggest editing the wiki for a week then reapplying for adoption (: --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 03:27, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Please note that the wiki is closed and that, as a result, Pogdog cannot edit. Accordingly, I have marked it In Progress again. Thank you! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:35, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: destruipedia.miraheze.org
 * Username: Pérola Maniaco
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Eu desejo adotar essa Wiki. E também se possivel, solicito o meu desbanimento naquela Wiki, aplicado pelo JPLSilva que, aplicou um banimento em mim sem uma justificativa plausivo e com o meu histórico sem nenhum tipo de vandalismo nesse Site. // English: I want to adopt this Wiki . And also if possible, I request my unban on that Wiki, applied by JPLSilva who, applied a ban on me without a plausible justification and with my history without any type of vandalism on this Site.


 * ❌ This wiki is currently not eligible for adoption as it is only marked as inactive. Please wait another 15 days and it will be marked as closed and eligible for adoption. Thank you!  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The reason is that there is so many bad videos and some really bad you tubers who have very bad reputation that needs to go on here.


 * I CLOSED that wiki 2 months ago. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:09, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ As noted by DarkMatterMan4500, this wiki was closed by him manually. Per steward convention, this decision will not be overridden and this adoption cannot go through. Sorry for the inconvenience.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:26, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

abhidcruez.miraheze.org
Tali64³ (talk) 23:38, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: abhidcruez.miraheze.org
 * Username: Tali64³
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I stumbled upon this wiki through WikiDiscover, and it seems like a neat idea. I want to continue it.
 * Hi there, I'm confused on why you'd like to adopt this wiki. This wiki seems to have been made for self-promotion and would in fact be in violation of our Content Policy as it has only one article which is self-promotory. If you wish to request a wiki yourself, you may do so here. Thank you. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:41, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that it could be repurposed as a wiki about people. The name would have to be changed, of course, but I think it could work. Also, it would save a little bit of time over requesting a new wiki. Tali64³ (talk) 23:44, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, the wiki could be repurposed to any topic, on second thought. Tali64³ (talk) 23:45, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, wikis cannot be used for a purpose against their initial request purpose. This wiki's request reason was "I am a blogger" and the wiki cannot be used for anything other than that. Plus, adoption actually takes longer than creating a wiki. If you want, you could request a wiki and I (or another wiki creator) can approve it (provided it follows the Content Policy). Thanks. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:53, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think requesting a new wiki would be easier and quicker. With a clear scope you're almost certain to get it, and the name change for the purpose you'd want is easy. Not to mention you would lose no work with the change. --Raidarr (talk) 12:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

CircleyverseFaneggdog (talk) 15:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: crummyscratchers.miraheze.org
 * Username: CircleyverseFaneggdog
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: The now-closed Crummy Scratchers Wiki, which is not a place that is made to gossip and talk bad about Scratchers. It is a place to help Scratchers improve. That's why Crummy Scratchers Wiki should come back.
 * Because this wiki was closed and deleted, you'll need to request this wiki again and ask for a sysadmin to import the old wikis contents again. As a result, this ❌. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

crappysoftware.miraheze.org
WindowsViennaFish2010 (talk) 05:48, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: crappysoftware.miraheze.org
 * Username: WindowsViennaFish2010
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I am trying improve this wiki.
 * ❌ because the wiki isn't closed. You can ask local bureaucrats for admin rights if you'd like to help better the wiki. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 06:03, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. WindowsViennaFish2010 (talk) 06:08, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The single local admin has no contributions noted since 2019 and I can't even get a CentralAuth query on him. In this case, you can create a local election page declaring your intention to become a new B-crat/Admin, letting it run for a while so other contributors may support, oppose or let it happen and bringing the results to a Steward. There seems to be no point in attempting contact given the state of the admin/bcrat list on the wiki. Note if you do this, you should make contact with anyone who has been editing recently so they for sure can have a say, such as Tali64³ and for legitimacy. --Raidarr (talk) 12:29, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

SPEEDYBEAVER ( talk ) 21:19, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: villains.miraheze.org
 * Username: SPEEDYBEAVER
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki has potential to be better than the Fandom version.
 * Why do you feel the need to ripoff a wiki from another site? I personally don't think that's fair. I'm not a steward or a manager or anything but if you think the FANDOM version has bad qualities, then you should contact the admins about improving the wiki. Musicismylife (talk) 07:31, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There are several wikis on Miraheze that exist because users don't care for the Fandom version, especially given Fandom's corporate background and decisions. I don't think it's very fair to blast him on that count. --Raidarr (talk) 15:23, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make it ok. Musicismylife (talk) 20:17, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Reason: I am just active editor. I am requesting to activate on this site.
 * Dot ❌ as the wiki is not closed per Dormancy Policy. You can, however, request any permissions you required locally. If bureaucrats are not active within a reasonable period of time (generally, a few weeks or more), you can attend stewards' noticeboard and request a steward's assistance. Thank you.

 * Reason: Reason: I am just active and frequent editor. I am requesting to activate on this site.


 * That's not going to be re-opened, and plus it's private, making this adoption request pretty pointless. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:37, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ per above comments. If the wiki is manually closed, it is not eligible for adoption. Additionally, it's also private, making it double-unadoptable. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:51, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:10, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: marveloustvshowepisodeswiki.miraheze.org
 * Username: Blubabluba9990
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Since this wiki is abandoned and has no content and my previous adoption request failed, I figured I would adopt this wiki since it has a similar concept, it was requested a while ago by a user who is not globally locked and since there is no content, it is literally a blank slate. Also since I will not be unblocked on the Reception Wikis anytime soon it is a good replacement for Best Shows & Episodes Wiki. Pretty much the same reason as my previous request for adoption for Best Episodes Wiki.
 * I'm pretty confident you're not allowed to use a different wiki just because you were blocked on the main wiki... Musicismylife (talk) 20:59, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If the content distinguishes itself, there isn't a 'main wiki' for the purposes of adoption. But making that distinction would probably be best for the figures reviewing the request. --Raidarr (talk) 03:13, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I may even withdraw this soon now that I messaged DarkMatterMan4500 about unblocking me. Thought that is not set in stone. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

 * ❌, as you are already bureaucrat on this wiki, so can grant your user account rights locally, as you were able to login with your original account within the past hour. Dmehus (talk) 00:15, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But I can't access my username on easypedia to give rights. Sperosdurell (talk) 00:22, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm ok on meta but easypedia I'm locked out. Sperosdurell (talk) 00:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think you're being in any way intentionally deceptive. Rather, I think part of the problem here is a cookie issue. Please go here and logout completely. Once that's done, delete all cookies for  and any wikis with custom domains, then go here, login with your new account and CentralAuth should auto-sign you in. To save you having to first login with your other account, I will grant rights locally for you. Dmehus (talk) 00:44, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ to your now confirmed alternate account, per your request. Dmehus (talk) 00:49, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
