Requests for reopening wikis

magehands.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Al2der (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: Wiki was last edited in July 2022; We're presently trying to migrate this to paid hosting, but the wiki appears to be in a soft-deleted state (browsing to its subdomain gives a 404, but Special:ManageWiki/core/magehandswiki is still alive (although entirely greyed-out), and shows it as NOT Closed and NOT Inactive). The most recent backup we have access to locally is from ~2½ years ago, so we would like to get this revived and a current archive retrieved. I posted about this ~3 weeks ago at Requests for reopening wikis/Archive 12, but it appears to have been auto-archived by a script.
 * Al2der (talk) 04:03, 19 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Is this the correct forum to be requesting an un-soft-deletion?
 * Again, we would just like to retrieve the most current content of the wiki so that we can move it elsewhere, freeing-up Miraheze resources. There are about two years’ worth of light-but-significant updates and development that we very much don’t want to lose. Al2der (talk) 01:36, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Pinging to assist. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 22:39, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅. Apologies for the delay. Due to the holiday season + db141 issues, Stewards were abnormally unavailable. Once you've migrated to paid hosting, you can request wiki deletion at Stewards' noticeboard. Thanks! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

librepedia.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Imperator-Kaiser (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The wiki is abandoned, and I want to work on the wiki and give it a new impetus
 * As you can see in the recent changes of the wiki, without counting my edits, in the last 30 days, only 1 edit has been made, and it has been an IP, in practice, the wiki is abandoned
 * Imperator-Kaiser (talk) 12:29, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi . The wiki in question does not appear to be closed. From your reason provided, it doesn't appear as if you'd like to reopen the wiki as well. Could you please elaborate? Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 00:37, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Looks like it's read only / running maintenance at the me,ment. Will make my first edit eventually.  But i think someone has already made an edit so site should be good.   "Warning: The database has been locked for maintenance, so you will not be able to publish your edits right now. You may wish to copy and paste your text into a text file and save it for later.  The system administrator who locked it offered this explanation: The primary database server is running in read-only mode."...   Thank you again!

viscera.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Chillbones (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: Hello! I'm looking to reopen this wiki after it went into dormancy - I was unable to be active and keep the wiki open for the past month due to some health problems, but now that I've recovered, I'd like to work on it again. I did create the wiki, but despite going to Special:ManageWiki/core, I was taken to a permission error page, so I wasn't sure what else to do. I'd appreciate any and all help you can give me!
 * Chillbones (talk) 22:33, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I've granted you the proper rights, you should be able to see your wiki now. Apologies for the issue. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Reason: want to revive the wiki
 * Rex00 (talk) 17:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)


 * According to your CentralAuth, you've only been on Miraheze for a few hours. Have you had any previous accounts on Miraheze? Tali64³ (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I've been using Fandom wiki. No account with Miraheze. Rex00 (talk) 23:12, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay. A Steward should reopen the wiki soon. Tali64³ (talk) 00:47, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please make an edit on there ASAP to prevent it from being automatically reclosed. Thanks! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

gen.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Imamy (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: is gen.miraheze.org an example of a wiki that was closed manually? Otherwise, I would like to adopt it and continue the project.  There is no message stating that the site is closed and also I wasn't able to contribute.  However the site is in the list of closed sites as genesis.re
 * Imamy (talk) 23:39, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please make an edit ASAP to avoid it automatically being reclosed. Thanks! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for reopening this! --Imamy (talk) 05:07, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Zcook1052 (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: We use this wiki for collaborative software development and urgently need it for our work.
 * Zcook1052 (talk) 12:48, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes (Ekrexso) on my alternate account
 * HeyTürkiye is my main account and I approve and accept the transfer of my Bureaucrat and Admin rights from Wikiedrx to my Wiki. Ekrexso (talk) 09:45, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Reason: This wiki is one of the first wikis I opened, Unfortunately the wiki was closed automatically because I haven't edited for more than 6 months. That's why I demand that the bureaucrats' rights be transferred to HeyTürkiye by requesting that it be reopened.
 *  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:41, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the wiki appears to be hard-deleted. You will have to re-request the wiki if you want to recreate it. Tali64³ (talk) 11:46, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌, per above. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 13:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Yoshi50Windows (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This wiki is awesome and i wanted to revive it.
 * Yoshi50Windows (talk) 23:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I doubt that’s going to be accepted. Awesome Games Wiki, alongside the other Qualitipedia wikis were closed due to a RfC about closing Qualitipedia. Financier Cookie (talk༆) 23:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Marked as ❌ per above, as the wiki in question and all associated wikis were closed under community consensus which cannot be overridden. Marxo Grouch (talk) 00:04, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Wowcomics (userrights)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: BelarusianIggy (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I was once an administrator on the wiki, however my role was stripped (without my knowledge) and the owner abandoned the site. I would like to adopt this wiki simply to maintain, preserve the contents on it and some day be able to use it again if the topic is revived. Thanks!
 * BelarusianIggy (talk) 20:00, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi there. To have rights re-added, please request the rights on stewards’ noticeboard. This page is only for requesting wikis to be reopened from their “closed” state, which the current wiki in question is not. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 00:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You're still an administrator from what I can see. What do you seek to achieve by 'adopting' the wiki? Adoption no longer exists and you have administrator rights so I'd like to know what you seek. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:34, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

fantastictoys.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: BlindOneEyedWizard (Special:UserRights/BlindOneEyedWizard@fantastictoyswiku)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Since it's closer to last year because no one was there, I would like to adopt the original wiki as to improve the original pages, which my writing was smaller
 * BlindOneEyedWizard (talk) 20:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌ as the wiki was manually closed by the bureaucrat. Please contact them and ask them to reopen it. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * but who's the bureaucrat? BlindOneEyedWizard (talk) 21:00, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Reason: I want to adopt the wiki and plan to fill it with content up to date with the latest version of Chaos Awakens.
 * WeirdNerd (talk) 18:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi there. It appears this wiki has been completely deleted, and is no longer present on our servers. Please feel free to request a new wiki at Special:RequestWiki. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 19:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

besttvshows.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This wiki page is nice and i wanted to revive it.
 * Francis Dustin (talk) 01:18, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * This wiki was closed after an RfC was passed (as mentioned on a banner above the wiki page). It is therefore ineligible to be reopened unless a community vote were to take place. As such, this request is denied. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 03:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I need the reception wikis to be reopened for me so i can do a few changes in them. Please and thank you.
 * As I've already outlined above, Qualitipedia wikis were closed after an RfC decided their fate. Stewards do not have the power to reopen the wikis, that power is held by the community. Only a community vote can overturn closure. As before, this request is denied. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 15:52, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * As another user has already stated, this wiki and other Qualitipedia wikis were closed per an RfC. However, there is a reboot on another platform. Tali64³ (talk) 18:07, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

greattvshowsandepisodes.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Francis Dustin
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This wiki page is really same to Best TV Shows & Episodes Wiki
 * Francis Dustin (talk) 01:27, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I doubt that’s going to be accepted. Best TV Shows & Episodes Wiki, alongside the other Qualitipedia wikis were closed due to a RfC about closing Qualitipedia.
 * ❌ as the wiki submitted doesn't even exist. If you're requesting this wiki, a reception wiki is currently not accepted at this time. Thank you for understanding. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 02:13, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, please stop inquiring about Reception Wikis. I'm going to direct you to the Content Policy so that your questions can be answered in full by official Miraheze policy. If you have any questions, you're more than welcome to reach out on my talk page, but please refrain from posting here, especially for wikis that do not even exist, as it's not the venue for such requests. Thank you. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 04:41, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

ggpediaja.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Yaakiyu.jp (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I want to revive this wiki.
 * Yaakiyu.jp (talk) 02:36, 13 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Everything looks good, no manual closure, wiki isn't soft-deleted. Should be good to go. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 07:14, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

crappygames.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: OGBadDogg (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * OGBadDogg (talk) 17:06, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Request denied per what other requests have stated. Qualitipedia wikis will not be reopened as they have been closed per community consensus. Stop asking. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 17:52, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

eastjapankaku.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: 本条信治 (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * 本条信治 (talk) 14:16, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌ because the bureaucrat manually changed the settings to closed on the wiki, as opposed to a dormancy closure. If the bureaucrat decides that they wish to close the wiki, there's nothing we can do about that. My proposed suggestion would be to leave a message on their talk page and see if they respond. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 15:29, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

rebelwisdom.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Imamy (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: There's a lot of interesting material on this site that I would like to explore and continue.
 * Imamy (talk) 04:27, 16 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Looks good. Quick note to Stewards regarding this wiki: it has been reopened by a Steward (John) once before in November 2021, but it appears that inactivity closed it again. Not sure if that affects this process, but thought I'd mention it regardless. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 07:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

hp.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: 小美粉粉 (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I came from Baidu Baike, but due to some issues (e.g. access restriction for previous revisions of an article and edit reasons/summaries, require moderating edits but moderation requires at least three days, factually wrong information), it is less and less popular, and I want to no longer be there, to let it have less and less contributor. Although Wikipedia is a popular substitute that we can try, it has been blocked in China. Occasionally, I found a very great encyclopedia called Harmopedia. Unfortunately, it has been closed. I want to support this encyclopedia to make it more and more popular and let more and more users join it. Also, there's a lot of interesting material on this site that I would like to explore and continue. I love to build an encyclopedia. Many thanks.


 * All checks out. Wiki closed due to dormancy, not a bureaucrat. Leaving this for a Steward whenever around. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 06:19, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

tnotes.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: 小美粉粉 (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I accidentally found a wiki focused on writing notes and blogs. Unfortunately, it has been closed. There's a lot of interesting material on this site that I would like to explore and continue (contributing). Many thanks.
