Alternate History
Sapphire Williams (talk page • contributions) 02:20, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Wiki: Alternate History (https://alternatehistory.miraheze.org/)
 * Username: Sapphire Williams
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No.
 * Reason: The founder, JoshuaTheRoman, has not updated the wiki in about a year, and I checked his contributions on Wikia (he's also an admin on Alternate History in Wikia) and saw he wasn't active either. I started to contribute to that wiki less than a year ago and I wanted to be on Miraheze rather than the Alternate History in Wikia because I didn't like the toxicity of their userbase as well as Wikia's own policies. I did asked the founder if he would like to continue with the wiki and if not if I could adopt him for him, so I'd rather wait until I get a confirmation from him. If he doesn't answer for a while, then might as well adopt it.
 * The wiki is already open. You must actively contribute to the wiki during this week in order for a Steward to transfer the rights. If you need anything admin related, please request it at Stewards' noticeboard. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 09:18, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I have contributed some to the wiki in the past: I've created a timeline there and uploaded a few images, but the problem now is that if I try to access other pages on the wiki, it displays a permission error where only admins of that wiki can view the page, and it's not just special pages either, it's even regular pages. The only page I could view and thus edit is the Main Page (and I did recently added content to the Main Page). Sapphire Williams  (talk page • contributions) 16:38, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That means the wiki is private. I,  personally think this is quite unlikely to happen. Please see the header.    Malcolm Talk  19:48, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * ❌ Unfortunately, private wikis cannot be adopted as that would defeat the whole purpose of them being private in the first place, if that content could then later be accessed upon inactivity and closure. Therefore, the only way to get the wiki reopened (or made public) is contacting bureaucrats. The wiki could only be adopted if you were a member of the private wiki.

 * Wiki: ourpedia.miraheze.org
 * Username: プログラマリオ
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Hello. I want ourpedia.miraheze.org domain.But it is using now, and it is set "closed".Can I get Bureaucrat rights on ourpedia.miraheze.org? Thank you for reading.
 * The wiki was been reopened. You must actively contribute to the wiki during this week in order for a Steward to transfer the rights. If you need anything admin related, please request it at Stewards' noticeboard. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 08:22, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to decline this request as you have made minimal contributions (most appear to be your userpage). -- Void  Whispers 20:03, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Wiki: No wiki given
 * Username: Bjm212
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Replace this with yes if you are a bureaucrat on the wiki
 * Reason: I haven't been in this wiki for a while, but I want to rewrite it. Please unlock it.
 * I can see that you're a bureaucrat on the wiki in question, which means that you can just go to Special:ManageWiki and reopen it by yourself.-- 15:47, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Jordan D (talk) 06:08, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Wiki: https://donaldduck.miraheze.org
 * Username: Jordan D
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: I had some password problems on my old account (User:Darkanine) and had to switch over to this one. I would like to use this account to revive the dead project I started awhile back.
 * The wiki is already open. You must actively contribute to the wiki during this week in order for a Steward to transfer the rights. If you need anything admin related, please request it at Stewards' noticeboard. Even though you say you are a bureaucrat, we cannot confirm that in any way (unless you can) so therefore this request must be treated as any other adoption request. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 08:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I see that you have not made any meaningful edits since, so I'm inclined to decline the request. Please make some changes in order for this request to be approved. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 23:44, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * "Sorry, I probably didn't explain myself well (I was in a rush). I founded the wiki on an old account which I had to stop using due to some weird password bug not letting me sign in properly, so I switched over. However, I will try to make more contributions to there before requesting adoption once again. Thank you for your time.-~"

 * Wiki: alternatesporthistory.miraheze.org
 * Username: HawkAussie
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes...ish
 * Reason: Much like the same with Donald D in his bureaucrat request, I also seemed to had password problems which locked me out of my other account (User:DutchAussie) as I didn't have an email that I was able to reset my password on. Thanks for reading this and I will hope that you will be able to fix my problem.
 * In that case, my comment above applies exactly. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 15:34, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: I am the founder and a bureaucrat. I value and want to update the Wiki but took a break due to holiday etc. I now cannot access the special page - please restore my access. Many thanks
 * You should be able to access the page when you are logged in, which you are currently not. If you are having issues with logging in, please let us know so that we can work with you to resolve those issues. -- Void  Whispers 19:40, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Username: Vm.tenorio
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I want to adopt the wiki because it is in use yet, and it shouldn't be closed
 * I've opened the wiki. If you contribute actively in the next week, I'll transfer rights over. If you need anything in the meantime, let us know. -- Void  Whispers 19:45, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
