 * Username: IAmCauseStillYou (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I want to adopt this page to expand my worldbuilding ideas.


 * This conversation was directed to and is currently taking place on my talk page, and a permalink to the actionable conclusion will be provided when it's complete. --Raidarr (talk) 13:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * In light of an odd 14 days without further reply ^ seeking better rationale for why a relatively personal wiki is being 'adopted' by someone who is uninvolved, I mark this as until/unless such followup is posted. --Raidarr (talk) 13:14, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Username: Darthseltor (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I'm the one that created this wiki and really want to work on this project!
 * You are actually a bureaucrat on that wiki, thus, you can reopen it yourself by unchecking the "closed" box on this page. — Arcversin (talk) 21:30, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, didn't know that. Thanks! Darthseltor (talk) 13:55, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Marking as ✅ per above. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:09, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki: mncn.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: MNCN (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: We would like to continue building the wiki once we are back up and running after the pandemic..
 * This wiki was deleted and it's database dropped on 2 November, 2021. As such, Stewards can't reopen this wiki. Please request a new wiki (in your requesting reason, make sure to be specific and describe the wiki's purpose in 2-3 sentences. Requests that just talk about an old wiki being restored are usually declined.) and then file a Phabricator task asking for the contents of the old wiki to be imported onto this new wiki.

ChromaticPixels (talk) 18:17, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Username: ChromaticPixels (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I was one of the more active editors (specifically in the TrappedSMP section), and I'd like to preserve the history recorded there.

 * Wiki: needforspeed.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Burninrubber0 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I would like to adopt this wiki to expand on its content and make it a hub of information on the Need for Speed series (it is currently very barebones).
 * Burninrubber0, ✅. Rights below  can be requested at stewards' noticeboard if local administrators aren't recently active. Rights   and above require you to hold a prominently advertised local election. See also: this page. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 06:44, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

wikipuc.miraheze.org
Perropappa (talk) 17:37, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: wikipuc.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Perropappa (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I want to bring WikiPUC back to life, and it would be a shame to lose all the content. At least I want to be able to backup the information it contained, if it may be possible. If the database were dropped, is there anything I can do to recover the info? Thank you.
 * unfortunately, for this process I must mark because it seems the database of the wiki has already been dropped. Dropped databases are uploaded in clusters onto archive.org; unfortunately these tend to be big files on a slow server connection with many databases to eventually extract the one, and you'd need an idea of when the wiki was last available to know which dump would be correct. The 'dump' includes an XML file of the wiki (assuming it was public; if it was private, I'm afraid it is truly lost). Any images I'm afraid would not be available, but if it was public the text should be preserved if you can locate it. I will cc, a senior fellow Steward to see if he has any further details I may have missed on this. --Raidarr (talk) 01:22, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

BrushYourCats (talk) 18:53, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: smn.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: BrushYourCats (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I helped set up this wiki and added most of the templates so it would be a shame to have it all go to waste, I would like finish adding what the original creator never got around to adding
 * ✅ by reasonable request. If you would like further rights in light of the original creator's absence, I have an adoption process essay on the matter to help further realize the wiki's technical vision, if you wish. --Raidarr (talk) 23:27, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki: hsffl.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Connor Rozee (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * This wiki was deleted and dropped due to inactivity on 20 November, 2021. Please note that all wikis on Miraheze are subject to the Content Policy which states that wikis that lack activity are closed in 2 months and later deleted some time after 6 months of the last sign of activity. If you wish to restore this wiki, please re-request it normally via Special:RequestWiki (if you request a wiki, make sure to provide a detailed reason for requesting a wiki. Providing a one sentence response such as "my old wiki was deleted" or "I was told to re-request a wiki" are almost always declined.) and then head to Phabricator and request that a systems administrator restore the latest backup on hand of this wiki. Thanks. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 06:02, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai: Can you kindly give me an update on progress to restore the latest backup to my hsffl wiki? Connor Rozee (talk) 00:25, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Have you made a request on Phabricator yet? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai Yes, Phabricator request made 12th March: T8922 Connor Rozee (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I just saw it, thanks. All progress is logged in the task and as you can see, there is currently no progress on it. It will be processed shortly. Apologies for the delay. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:50, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki: Viileäpedia.miraheze.org (On wiki: ManageWiki • ManageWiki log • Recent Changes - On Meta: Wiki request • ManageWiki/core)
 * Username: Istambul Psycho (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: will create new articles there
 * This request is and was badly malformed. I corrected the basic formatting on this attempt, but what you're requesting does not seem to exist, nor was it clear to another volunteer the last time. If you can provide a valid link of what you're looking at, it would be much appreciated. As far as I'm aware what you are referencing by name does not exist (not even with a base name, ie, ' '). Please advise. --Raidarr (talk) 09:48, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

unwatchablesports.miraheze.org
FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 03:48, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki: unwatchablesports.miraheze.org
 * Username: FatBurn0000 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki has more potential than I initially thought.
 * FatBurn0000, you have made only 1 edit to . When you say it has "more potential than [you] initially thought," do you mean you have previously contributed to this wiki, under a prior account (locked or unlocked)? Otherwise, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Secondarily, the other concern I have is that you seem to be requesting, whether at requests for reopening wikis or stewards' noticeboard, to be requesting to adopt/reopen quite a lot of wikis, some of which you've made few or no contributions to. Please note that per Dormancy Policy, a user may not request to adopt or otherwise have reopened every wiki (which includes, in Stewards' discretion, a large number of wikis). So I would need a clearer reason for wanting this wiki to be reopened. Dmehus (talk) 03:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I initially thought the wiki was a bad idea because you can't really create good pages about why sports are bad and it's not fair to criticise people for being bad at sports. However, I then realised that the wiki could also be used to talk about teams and individuals that are known for not playing fairly, along with bad moments in sport history. Also, I'm not necessarily going to adopt it - but I would like to contribute. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 10:01, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * FatBurn0000, okay, thank you for the added information. I'll consider reopening this wiki for you tomorrow, provided that you can you confirm that you do not intend to request to have any and all closed Reception-style wikis reopened merely to save them from deletion per Dormancy Policy. Dmehus (talk) 04:08, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that. I will only request for a wiki to be reopened if I am actually going to contribute. FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 09:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Username: Matttest (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am bureaucrat on the Chinese Gyaanipedia. Hopefully, I understand the commission of Gyaanipedia’s projects and I’m active too on Chinese Gyaanipedia. I hope I can save the Ganda language version of Gyaanipedia. I will keep it open and will contribute to this language further if you can reopen the wiki.
