 * Wiki: rust.miraheze.org
 * Username: Chris13524
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I'm with the Rust Programming Language wiki. When we were originally setting things up a few months ago, somebody created rust.miraheze.org. However they dropped out of communication shortly after and we ended up creating runrust.miraheze.org to replace it. We've been working on there since then. I was wondering if it would be possible to just delete rust and transfer/rename runrust to where rust was previously? No pages other than the main page were created/edited.
 * I've checked this wiki and there's only one local bureaucrat, who has made no contributions whatsoever. Chris13524 does seem to the most active on the wiki, so I'm happy to

 * Hi, sorry this page is noisy so I unsubscribed to notifications. I made an edit to the Main Page on the rust wiki, so contribution! Chris13524 (talk) 18:14, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * One edit to the main page of the wiki doesn't constitute actively maintaining the subject wiki. While there's no set quantity for the amount of contributions you must make, a steward needs to see you are writing constructive content (usually in mainspace), drafting policies (usually in project namespace), and performing other types of maintenance, copyediting, categorization, and the like. Otherwise, this looks like hat collecting. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 22:56, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the goal we are trying to achieve is to delete rust.miraheze.org and rename runrust to rust. This is just a bureaucratic hoop I'm trying to jump through. Chris13524 (talk) 23:36, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, unfortunately, we do have to follow Dormancy Policy, which says that wikis should be in a closed state for at least six months before being deleted. At that point, they are marked as deleted (see Special:DeletedWikis) for a minimum of two weeks, at which point a system administrator will run the deletion script. If you're just unsatisfied with your subdomain, why don't you consider registering either a free or paid domain name and set up a custom domain? Dmehus (talk) 23:49, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The wiki needs a massive cleanup as the only person in charge there isn't even responsible at maintaining it in good quality. I was thinking of closing it down but I think adopting it is better, so I'll adopt it and fix it up instead. Disintegrated.to.pieces (talk) 21:56, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This cannot be undertaken as the wiki is not marked as "closed," per this page. Instead, what you can do is hold a local  election on a prominent page on the wiki, consistent with any local wiki election or selection rules (if any), and then when the election has concluded (usually after at least 7 calendar days, if no local wiki election rules exist), then you will return to Stewards' noticeboard, linking to the location where the local election was held and a steward will assess in absence of a local bureaucrat.

 * If this wiki was manually closed by an existing, by steward convention and custom, they cannot be adopted. What you can do, though, is hold a local election process on that wiki among the regular participants of the wiki to elect, or reinstate as in this case, you as a  . Make sure you define the number of bureaucrat(s) to be elected, the length of the election process, and who is running for the position, taking into account any local policies (if any) governing such local elections. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 02:05, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Wiki: music.miraheze.org
 * Username: AnotherBubblebath
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: When viewing the current Bureaucrat (Actual AdvancePlayer) and clicking on contribs, the last edit on the wiki was January 15, 2020 (January 8, 2020 for the Bureaucrat). With it being August 30, 2020, it has been a 7 month and 15 day gap from the last update of the wiki. It can safely be assumed that the Bureaucrat has been inactive.
 * ❌ This wiki is neither inactive nor closed, so it cannot be adopted, per Dormancy Policy. If the wiki has no active bureaucrat(s) on the wiki, you can still hold a local election on the wiki. Simply create an election page on the wiki in a prominent location on the wiki, state the number and type of position(s) up for election, the support ratio required for election, the duration of the election, and whether the election can be declared successful if no one responds within the prescribed minimum duration of the election, adhering to any local policies as may exist on the wiki. Where none exist, this is typically at least seven (7) calendar days. After that timeframe, return to Meta, to Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the location of your election in the format  .

 * Wiki: wiki.8b8t.com

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (no):
 * Reason:Wiki closed and up for adoption
 * Ordinarily, I'd say this cannot be undertaken as the wiki is inactive; however, I see that had opened this wiki at Archive 4 so another user could actively contribute, and probably just didn't re-mark it as closed afterward. So, this likely is eligible for adoption; however, you should note that you must be actively contributing to the wiki over the next week, and then Void will assess your activity when deciding on the adoption request. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 16:12, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

 * A steward should be by in a few days to a week, at most, to re-open the wiki. At that point, you will generally have at least a week to constructively edit the wiki, after which a steward will then assess your activity and decide on the adoption. Dmehus (talk) 17:07, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry I'm just answering. Okay, I'm good, and I will not disappoint anyone. And thank you so much :) - Lois (talk) 12:18, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Yeah, as I say, the wiki will first need to be reopened by a steward in the next week, then you will actively edit the wiki for at least a week, and when that's satisfied, rights are typically granted by the steward shortly after that. Dmehus (talk) 12:23, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
