 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: It's deleted - I'm hoping still recoverable.
 * unfortunately it is . But I believe the advice in above sections, including to re-request the wiki and open a task on Phabricator to restore a remaining backup should be possible. cc to confirm this. --Raidarr (talk) 11:57, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Chuchewie (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: I would like to edit something on the wiki
 * Hello, the wiki is not closed and thus cannot be reopened. I would advise you to check out the Dormancy Policy about the process of reopening wikis. Also, this wiki is set as private, so even it is closed, it cannot be undertaken unless you are part of the “members” user group. I am not so comfortable marking this as not done on my own since I am not a steward, so pinging Raidarr (a steward) for further confirmation. Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 14:03, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Marking as ❌ per above. The wiki isn't closed, only privated. Please contact local administrators for help. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:21, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * Since you are a bureaucrat of this wiki, you can go to  (here on your wiki) and uncheck the "closed" box to reopen it. Let us know when you reopened it or encountered any other difficulties. --Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 23:38, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there! Just wanted to follow up and see if you had any success with unclosing your wiki. Happy to assist if needed! Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 05:57, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Curious if you can help in this case as the wiki is private and it doesn’t appear that the user is responding. Not sure whether to close as locally handled or leave open. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 19:28, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Have been ✅ by a local bureaucrat. -Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 03:09, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: I have another version on wikia and wanna keep one on this site as a backup
 * Unfortunately the wiki is gone and there is no database on server to recover. While we could possibly pull from a backup, if you're just trying to make an authorized mirror from Fandom and if there wasn't much there then I would recommend re-requesting the wiki. Let me know if you want us to look into the backups (which should exist as long as the wiki was public). --Raidarr (talk) 12:06, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Reason: Jonathan123 and I would like to improve the wiki.
 * This is unfortunate since both and  should have been aware of your request for this and could have done it without global intervention. In any case it's been ✅. I'd recommend getting in contact to transfer rights if you're interested in operating the wiki since it is clear their priorities are elsewhere. --Raidarr (talk) 12:11, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay here. I'll give ZeusDeGoose the admin rights immediately. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:18, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki 1:
 * Wiki 2:
 * Username: KENNY STEWART 6284
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: "no edits or log actions made within the last 60 days" is rubbish. I made a new page 3 weeks ago, some new edits are shown like YouTube (View History)
 * The wiki is closed manually by consensus of the qualitipedia community. It can only be reopened if the websites wikis are reformed, cleaned up, and new rules are developed to prevent previous issues with the website wikis from happening. (Per closer’s advise of the RfC). -Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 04:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Per above the wikis have been manually closed. I understand that the default close message is not helpful and maybe the sitenotice I added is not prominent enough. It's something that should be adjusted at a Miraheze level (specifying closure reason) or perhaps manually changed short-term. I encourage you to comment on this through the talk page of the RfC if you have commentary, suggestions etc that would change things. --Raidarr (talk) 12:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Nielsx (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: I was the owner, but Special:ManageWiki/core does not exist anymore.
 * Marking as ❌. With apologies to, the wiki has been deleted and the subdomain/database appear to have been deleted. I encounter an error when attempting to access the wiki. Please feel free to request another wiki at Special:RequestWiki if you’d like to start a new one. Apologies again. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 05:52, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Per above (and the elaboration below) the database has been dropped, so the only chance of data recovery is a) if public, from public archives or b) if private, hoping one of our technical volunteers still has a database backup (pinged below). We can look into these as you wish. --Raidarr (talk) 12:03, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Gladbags (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: I created this Wiki a year ago and I enjoyed it and I want to pick up where I left off. I don't know what bureaucrat means and I can't seem to access my Wiki in order uncheck the relevant boxes.
 * ❌. Apologies, but the wiki that you are requesting to be reopened has been deleted, with the subdomain and database removed, to the extent of my knowledge. I apologize that we were not able to recover your wiki. However, if you wish to create a new wiki and work on that, please feel free to request one at Special:RequestWiki. Apologies again. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 05:55, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @BrandonWM thanks for letting me know. I'll request again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gladbags (User talk:Gladbags • Special:Contributions/Gladbags)
 * Happy to assist wherever needed, ! Please let me know if I can help further. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights)
 * Hi, commenting as a Steward. Yes, it looks like requesting a new wiki is best. I do ask to permit Stewards to action database drops because the context can be sensitive and they are best able to explore options here. If the wiki was public the database can be recovered from public archive. If it was private then there is a very slim chance  has a backup on the server still, I'm sure he'll ping if he does have one in the off chance in which case the data can be recovered. --Raidarr (talk) 12:00, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

SMGHUB (talk) 09:44, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki:
 * Username: SMGHUB (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Yes
 * Reason: I'm the founder of this wiki. The last edit was more than 60 days ago. Due to my other work, I failed to make another edit since then. I tried to go to Special:ManageWiki/core, but couldn't uncheck the boxes. This is one of my only options.
 * Hello, but it seems that you are not the founder, see the wiki request. Anyway I believe this can be done and reopened. Just a note. -Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 10:01, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Balofo2 (talk) 05:36, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki:
 * Username: Balofo2 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I need bureaucrat rights to unlock some pages and finally continue editing the wiki.


 * I have ✅ this wiki as requested. We sadly cannot grant any user rights like administrator or bureaucrat on here but if you do wish to obtain those rights, you may stage a local election on the wiki in order to run for administrator and bureaucrat. In the meanwhile, if you do require some assistance on the wiki in order to edit, you may request on the Stewards' noticeboard that a Steward do some things in the stead of the locally inactive bureaucrat such as non-controversial page protection lowering, etc. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 15:50, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * if Balofo2 is a successor to the account Balofo, it may be simpler to make a confirmation edit from that account or grant rights to yourself. If you can't access it or password reset is not possible you could inquire to stewards@undefinedmiraheze.org with the original email for support or use another identity verification option if you set one up. If successful this would skip the local election process and demonstrate beyond doubt that you should have the rights. --Raidarr (talk) 17:01, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I wanted to read what new website was on there lately but it was closed due to inactivity and now I want to add something.
 * Hi . This wiki was closed via Qualitipedia community consensus, and as such has been closed. Please see that wiki for more relevant information. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 16:14, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Since the closure default message is misleading I intend to make a custom solution. It'll be more work but should stem these requests. In the meantime I think this is grounds to hope for customizable closure reasons. --Raidarr (talk) 15:32, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * To clarify, closing reasons for adoption requests or closing wikis? Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 15:44, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Closure reasons on the message when the wiki has been closed. --Raidarr (talk) 16:46, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: [] (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Please don't close the wikis. I love the wikis so much. I get to learn all about bad and good stuff. I always love learning how bad or good that stuff is. I also love finding obscure, foreign, illegal, ripoffs, and stuff like that. So please don't close them.
 * These were manually closed by the Qualitipedia community. Raidarr also said that successors shouldn't be attempted, so it's unlikely they'll come back. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 19:24, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: I would like to reopen
 * Hi there Unfortunately, the wiki in question has been deleted from our database and the subdomain has been dropped. As of now, you have a few options. Option 1, request a new wiki and start from scratch. Option 2, a member of our SRE team may be in possession of a database dump (.xml) for your wiki. With that, you could re-request the wiki at Special:RequestWiki and have all your pages imported. A member of the Steward team would have to action this (pinging ) if you’d prefer this option.

STU (talk) 16:18, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki:
 * Username: STU (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Mirapedia is an encyclopedia that has remained unchanged for 60 days. I found this encyclopedia suitable for myself and I want to be the owner of this wiki.
 * Thank you for your request. While reviewing this request, I found that the wiki is essentially just a Wikipedia clone with copyright violations. We have plenty of Wikipedia clones/forks/want to be's on Miraheze so I would suggest you contribute to them instead. Being that the requested wiki has a lot of copyright violations and the best remedy for that is leaving it closed, I will mark this as ❌. Sorry. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 18:46, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I can make Mirapedia a better wiki by clearing it of copyright infringement. You know that the number of activities in new wikis is very low and you can think of it as an opportunity for me. Please I want to be the Founder of the wiki. Thank you. STU (talk) 20:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * sorry, this per a discussion on the Steward's noticeboard, particularly my statement here and the portion where wikis like these even if they are made compliant will still cause problems for each other and possibly hinder the platform itself. Feel free to discuss the matter more in that thread; this request will not proceed. Also, you can't be founder in a wiki when you did not create it, nor does being 'founder' confer rights in the eyes of Miraheze. --Raidarr (talk) 12:44, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Darioscattolini (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): YES
 * Reason: The wiki is a private wiki and was deleted due to inactivity. Perhaps it is just marked for deletion and can be recovered, or it is in a backup, so I would like to give it a try. In principle I don't need it to have it reopened, just to get access to the information stored, since I am migrating it to a different kind of platform and I don't have a backup for most of it. Thanks
 * Hi . Looping in as an SRE member. He might have a backup on hand. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 15:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Because this wiki was a private wiki, we do not back those up as that would allow us to see its contents. As such, we cannot restore this wiki nor do we have a backup on hand. Marking as ❌ because of that. Apologies. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:03, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki:
 * Username: SavageBoy69 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Hi, I don't know exactly where to make this kind of request because I already know the wiki is deleted, because the domain gives you a 404. I became disinterested in maintaining it back in November 2020, but as of now am interested in re-obtaining the information from it. It was a public wiki, so I want to know if there is still an .xml dump of it in your database somewhere. I'm not going to reimport it here and reopen it, but rather just to keep on my computer for archival purposes.
 * Looping in and . Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 07:54, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
