User:Pixial/How to request a wiki

Welcome! Miraheze is the only existing wiki-farm that does not require any advertisements on the wikis, and the earnings for maintaining the server are 100% via donations! Our layout is pure MediaWiki, and we use the latest version (1.37). So you are confident to request a new wiki, with the scope prepared and point in your head, this is a list to technically prepare you for your first wiki request on this wiki-farm.

Steps

 * Request a wiki: You can go to the "Request a wiki" link located on the sidebar (left) in the "Requests" section, either by manually going to Special:RequestWiki or simply by clicking this link!
 * You will see four inputs, including, you must put the wiki domain, which is a valid name and not random, as it can be declined for this reason . Also, you can choose the name, category, and language of the wiki. Remembering that choosing a category also helps WCs understand the scope.
 * The most important part (and responsible for most of the declines) is the reason for the wiki. You should summarize the scope of your wiki in 2-3 sentences, and without padding (like saying something that doesn't summarize the scope just to fill it, eg, say you left FANDOM, but doesn't summarize the scope). Most declines are due to lack of scope information.

After completing all required entries (marked with * ), and clicking, ✅, your request will be reviewed by a volunteer wiki creator, who will analyze whether to decline or accept.

My request was declined
This unfortunately can happen, the reasons for this are 1): your request didn't convince the wiki creator to accept it: it lacks scope, and it's confusing to understand what this wiki will talk about. 2) violates Content Policy 3) wiki name/URL address is invalid. You can reopen the request, without replacing the existing text, and, place more paragraphs under the scope (no padding) and submit the request. The (2) is unlikely, as we do not accept content that violates the policy, unless you reopen the order and are convinced that you will not.
