FatBurn0000 (sandbox | CentralAuth) 06:14, 6 April 2022 (UTC) Per the linked conversation, it appears Doug was looking for a confirmation, which you gave; unfortunately it seems he became bogged in other things and was unable to followup.

 * Hi there, to reopen your wiki, click here and uncheck the "Closed" box. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 22:18, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * while I've gone ahead and ✅, I reiterate Agent Isai's advice that you not only can reopen the wiki via Special:ManageWiki, it is the far more efficient, proper and preferred way to do so. This page is for (non-bureaucrat) people who are unable to open wikis but are interested in contributing to them. As the founder and primary contributor, it is your responsibility to keep it open by making contributions either consistently/with the help of any volunteers, or intermittently if you lack the time/community to be persistent (once every month would do the job). If you develop enough material on the wiki this way and there is quite a bit to come back to, you may request an exemption that will keep the wiki open on its own for much longer. I've left a message locally pointing to this notice, since it has come up on this page before. --Raidarr (talk) 17:35, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

WindowsXP4Ever (talk) 17:00, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki:
 * Username: WindowsXP4Ever (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I love Windows XP! The original person already has a retro Windows Wiki that has all the other retro Windows from somewhere like Windows 95 to Windows 7. But since Windows XP is my favorite, I want this one because Windows XP is my favorite of every operating system.


 * I appreciate your enthusiasm, but in this case the wiki was manually closed and merged off to a broader Retro Windows wiki (which you acknowledged). It has the same style, management and structure as the original + allows the same amount of XP content plus other retro systems, and so what you are requesting would create a fork that directly competes with its purpose - not all items require their dedicated wiki, if a broader one fully accommodates. I encourage that you contribute to the new version instead, and I'm sure its operator, would be happy to have you. --Raidarr (talk) 13:08, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

 * I want to be a bureaucrat. LisafBia (talk) 10:51, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe a local election is needed to be held on your adopted wiki for being a bureaucrat even there is no signs of activity on the wiki. After a successful local election (there is consensus to promote you being an bureaucrat), you can request at Stewards' noticeboard accordingly. Please post here with replies to let me/other users to know if you have any questions.--Matttest (talk) 08:28, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

黑底屍 (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2022 (UTC) 
 * Wiki:
 * Username: 黑底屍 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I would like to adopt this wiki, which I plan to use as a new themed site, and recruit assistant administrators to assist with activation management.
 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it.
 * , for three reasons:
 * This is a page for reopening closed wikis. What I got for a domain is not a valid name, so there's nothing to reopen.
 * The only domain I can guess here (sbs.wiki) is completely inappropriate for the reasons in the below discussion.
 * Speaking of which, the discussion has gone significantly off topic to any reopen request and is no longer appropriate here.
 * This request is closed; the topics within can be discussed in their existing talk page places (or if preferred, moved to the Stewards' noticeboard re: unbooks issue), and a new adoption request must come with 1. a valid domain name to reopen and 2. a reason that isn't an extension of the ongoing issue, since the reasons for delay on that have been explained several times.
 * Unfortunately I got a delay again from Doug regarding more complicated issues in general; pending a valid response on my talk page I would still be able to mediate after consulting with other volunteers who are on in my time a bit more often. --Raidarr (talk) 09:15, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * could you elaborate what the new theme would be (would it seriously change the wiki's scope) and what you mean by 'activation management'? Also, I need to confirm that you actually mean sbs.wiki, since sbs.miraheze.org is not a valid domain. --Raidarr (talk) 11:54, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for letting me explain, because the new wiki themes I want to open are all based on parody of Wikimedia Foundation's website, and the unbooks that had a dispute recently is also one of them. Therefore, I want to transfer some articles of unbooks to this adopted website before the dispute is completely resolved and subsided. After all, the original author of the articles of unbooks is myself, and there is no plagiarism problem of unauthorized reprinting.
 * If such an intention is not permitted, then the new topic could also include geography articles, since the Wikimedia Foundation also has a wikivoyage where I can independently theme my own geography articles on uncyclopedia.


 * "Activation management" means that I want to appoint assistant administrators to help update articles frequently, maintain the editorial volume, and attract new users to browse and edit, instead of a halted website. Maybe I used Chinese vocabulary to directly translate the result. unclear meaning.


 * The original domain name of this website was not named by me, it was taken by the creator of this wiki, and it was approved by you in the first place. If possible, assist in modifying it.--黑底屍 (talk) 15:07, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * What I'm just curious about is that when Matttest was approved to adopt unbooks, was the review and approval so rigorous?--黑底屍 (talk) 15:16, 3 May 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) There is no such wiki existing, and if you want to adopt a wiki you need to follow the local wiki’s topic, instead of your own. If you want to create a new wiki with your own topic, please go to Special:RequestWiki. Please also consider the content policy which notes that a wiki should not make another wiki difficult, so if you want to directly copy unbooks articles there, it is not permitted. —Matttest (talk) 13:27, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that creating a new wiki that directly forks unbooks content violates the policy of miraheze. For the unbooks issue you should get consensus there with me first, instead of making funny adoption request without knowing how adoption works. This only makes you a person who lacks understanding. —Matttest (talk) 13:31, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Please take a look at my comment and give a judgment to this adoption request, thanks. —Matttest (talk) 13:35, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

harrypotter.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: 小美粉粉 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I love harry potter. Both wiki in Fandom and Miraheze, I love. I love the wiki series of Harry Potter very much. I've been a fan of the harry potter for years and would contribute there. Unfortunately the founder was globally locked and this wiki was inactive and closed. I'd like to adopt this wiki so that it doesn't die out. I also want to keep this wiki active and develop it. I want to be an admin and bureaucrat on that wiki too due to the only bureaucrat is lost and locked. Please reopen it and give me the admin and bureaucrat right. Thanks.
 * necessarily pinged to deliver important details. Firstly, the wiki is ✅. Secondly, if you would like administrator/bureaucrat rights (and the reasoning is sensible), please see this page for what is needed. Reopenings no longer grant advanced permissions by default I'm afraid. --Raidarr (talk) 11:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't want other to ping is I edit on the wikis without Echo extension (e.g. TheiPhoneWiki) and I'm accustomed to forbid that because I closed this notice. Also, Fandom’s notification system has no ping notice feature. I read that I confirmed it has no activity, no active bureaucrats and no policies and it is public. I want to have admin and bcrat (bureaucrat) right. I am intersted to become a maintainer because I also edited on Chinese and Japanese Harry Potter Wikis in Fandom. I watched movies and read books about Harry Potter.
 * Very well, I can see the rationale. In any case I'm afraid the local election process remains necessary even if the wiki is fundamentally dead, as a sort of 'if anyone has reason why this shouldn't happen state your peace' step especially as a newcomer to the wiki. That said if all is in order the election can be closed early, and I invite you to prompt me in 3-4 days after the start to see how it's going . --Raidarr (talk) 14:35, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. A user adopted French Vocaloid Wiki in Fandom on 2019-11-12. She's amazing. I created and edited useful pages on that wiki, see this. Where should the permissions voting be held? I don't understand.
 * Thank you for the follow up; you can use the talk page of the main page as a place to make the request with a simple vote setup. It could be like one of our Requests for permissions entries with the reason(s) you should have admin/bureaucrat + a discussion section, noting any significant changes you wish to make in the wiki's scope if any. If you notify here once it's made I can add you a sitenotice. After four days, prompt me and I'll see where things are at (the process can be up to 7 days unless there's complications). --Raidarr (talk) 09:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This wiki was created by a friend of mine, so I would like to adopt this wiki so that it can continue to document content about my friend's server.
 * ✅. A local election (or the return of the founder/your friend) will be needed if you wish to have advanced rights on the wiki. Unfortunately we have no way to verify your connection with the founder. For the election process, any evidence of this/contributions in the meantime that expand on the topic of the wiki will help it work in your favor. --Raidarr (talk) 13:36, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
