 * I'll try and get to this this week. Dmehus (talk) 04:38, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Penarc1 Similar to your adoption request for  awhile back, indeed looking at your your local contributions, you're the only recently active editor on the wiki irrespective of any local block as may exist on the wiki (for which I can't find a valid rationale for that to be existing). Thus, I'm satisfied of your commitment level to maintaining and serving as an important caretaker for  . As such, this LGTM and is thus ✅, with   and   rights added to your account. As a helpful reminder, local wikis are run according locally developed guidelines, rules, and other practices developed by the consensus formed from local wikis' communities.

 * Wiki: pokemon.miraheze.org
 * Username: Iron Sword 23
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I want to adopt Pokemon.miraheze.org to add information about Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl when they are released in November.
 * Relisted. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:17, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Iron Sword 23 Apologies for the delay in responding to this. Ordinarily, I'd undelete this wiki for you, but given that this wiki was requested by an apparent sockpuppet of WillG8686, who made one (1) edit on the wiki, and since this wiki database should be dropped in another week or two, you can easily request its recreation at that time, should you have any interest in this still. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 03:00, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Relisted. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:17, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Mothra1 Apologies for the delay in actioning this, this LGTM as the wiki was not manually closed by local wiki bureaucrats, whether following a community discussion or not, so I've ✅ the wiki for you. After several weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed and rights may be added to your account at that time. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 03:04, 18 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Wiki: giantmonsters.miraheze.org
 * Username: Kaiju No. 14
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Not anymore
 * Reason: I am just an active and frequent editor and I would like to restore the site I was an admin in the past but my old account on my old computer is gone. a friend of mine Allosaurus the other admin is also gone soo its just me but there are a lot of fans of the site and it's an unofficial sub wiki for the VERY POPULAR SITE WIKIZILLA please guys I'm begging you, thanks. Kaiju No. 14 (talk) 23:47, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Kaiju No. 14 This wiki has been ✅. Please see above. You and Mothra1 can contribute to the wiki, and one or both of you may receive rights after several weeks. Dmehus (talk) 03:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Pogdog (talk) 22:55, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: con.miraheze.org
 * Username: Pogdog
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The wiki is out of date and no longer maintained, which is a shame as the community is still growing. As a long time member of the community, I would love to help contribute to keeping it alive. Thank you for your consideration.


 * I am glad to see your interest in this wiki however I see you made 0 edits made any edits. I would suggest editing the wiki for a week then reapplying for adoption (: --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 03:27, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Please note that the wiki is closed and that, as a result, Pogdog cannot edit. Accordingly, I have marked it In Progress again. Thank you! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:35, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ah sorry did not see that @Agent Isai thanks for the heads up! Cocopuff2018 (talk) 03:47, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Pogdog Apologies for the delay in responding to this. I see that Dibbydib has reopened the wiki locally since your requesting to adopt this wiki. While nothing precludes locally reopened wikis from still being adopted, for any pre-existing or in progress adoption requests, as you've also not since made any edits on the reopened wiki, I'm going to assume your interest has waned, for whatever reason(s), which is totally fine. As such, I'm closing this as ❌. Feel free to request any rights you require locally from Dibbydib. If Dibbydib is not active in a reasonable period of time and you've made constructive edits to the wiki, you can request Stewards to action your local permissions request in absence of any locally available bureaucrats. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 03:12, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

abhidcruez.miraheze.org
Tali64³ (talk) 23:38, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: abhidcruez.miraheze.org
 * Username: Tali64³
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I stumbled upon this wiki through WikiDiscover, and it seems like a neat idea. I want to continue it.
 * Hi there, I'm confused on why you'd like to adopt this wiki. This wiki seems to have been made for self-promotion and would in fact be in violation of our Content Policy as it has only one article which is self-promotory. If you wish to request a wiki yourself, you may do so here. Thank you. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:41, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that it could be repurposed as a wiki about people. The name would have to be changed, of course, but I think it could work. Also, it would save a little bit of time over requesting a new wiki. Tali64³ (talk) 23:44, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, the wiki could be repurposed to any topic, on second thought. Tali64³ (talk) 23:45, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, wikis cannot be used for a purpose against their initial request purpose. This wiki's request reason was "I am a blogger" and the wiki cannot be used for anything other than that. Plus, adoption actually takes longer than creating a wiki. If you want, you could request a wiki and I (or another wiki creator) can approve it (provided it follows the Content Policy). Thanks. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:53, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think requesting a new wiki would be easier and quicker. With a clear scope you're almost certain to get it, and the name change for the purpose you'd want is easy. Not to mention you would lose no work with the change. --Raidarr (talk) 12:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Agent Isai I haven't seen this wiki, but self-promotional wikis are not specifically precluded by Content Policy. What being said. If this wiki was set up as a personal blog wiki for the named user, I'm not sure why Tali64³ would want to adopt it. So, closing this as ❌ in absence of a good reason.

villains.miraheze.org
SPEEDYBEAVER ( talk ) 21:19, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: villains.miraheze.org
 * Username: SPEEDYBEAVER
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki has potential to be lbetter than the Fandom version.
 * Why do you feel the need to ripoff a wiki from another site? I personally don't think that's fair. I'm not a steward or a manager or anything but if you think the FANDOM version has bad qualities, then you should contact the admins about improving the wiki. Musicismylife (talk) 07:31, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There are several wikis on Miraheze that exist because users don't care for the Fandom version, especially given Fandom's corporate background and decisions. I don't think it's very fair to blast him on that count. --Raidarr (talk) 15:23, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make it ok. Musicismylife (talk) 20:17, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, it looks like it's deleted, and I'm fairly confident you can't adopt deleted wikis, I'm pretty sure you have to somehow get them restored. But I'm not 100% sure. FatBurn0000 (talk) 11:04, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Public deleted wikis go to archive.org, and can be returned to MH by technical request if speedybeaver (now ) grabs the files and pushes the issue. --Raidarr (talk) 15:41, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Deleted wikis can be adopted, provided they haven't yet been dropped yet; however, one would need to have already been a significant contributor to the wiki, in my view, in order to justify undeleting it. In other words, if one is merely monitoring Special:DeletedWikis to try and adopt wikis marked as deleted, that's too late, unless they were already a substantial contributor to the wiki. One should show an interest in the given wiki before they're marked for deletion. Dmehus (talk) 03:33, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ for a few reasons.  exists, and this   appears to be substantial content fork of that wiki. Secondarily, I have serious concerns with Galaxy Star's ability to abide by and uphold Content Policy, not to mention the Code of Conduct, given that the user has been cited by both Reception123, myself and others in terms of warnings about the latter, and the user's propensity to be drawn to wikis that write wholly negative content about real living people. In particular,   is being observed closely by Stewards. It's also curious why Galaxy Star has requested to have   shut down whilst at the time proposing to adopt this wiki. Dmehus (talk) 03:28, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * They are similar, yet different wikis. Villains Wiki is a wiki about evil fictional characters and it does not violate Content Policy or Code Of Conduct, while Real Life Villains Wiki is about worst people ever to exist and it violates both Content Policy and Code Of Conduct.

worsttvnetworks.miraheze.org
Do you still want to pursue this request? I can't promise timing, but just to know when someone does check. --Raidarr (talk) 08:35, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: worsttvnetworks.miraheze.org
 * Username: FatBurn0000
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki will most likely be merged with the mh:terribletvshows:Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, but before it is, I would like to adopt it so it can be re-opened. Musicismylife (talk) 06:01, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I do. Musicismylife (talk) 22:41, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: Turns out TV networks are forbidden on TSAEW, so I'm going to keep this wiki as it is instead. FatBurn0000 (talk) 22:07, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * FatBurn0000 Apologies for the delay in actioning this, this LGTM as the wiki was not manually closed by local wiki bureaucrats, whether following a community discussion or not, so I've ✅ the wiki for you. After several weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed and rights may be added to your account at that time. As a personal aside, as you're now on your third global username in a little over six months, I personally recommend you stick with this username for good now, as it becomes very difficult to keep track of you otherwise. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 03:37, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

SPEEDYBEAVER ( talk ) 08:31, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: beautifullogos.miraheze.org
 * Username: SPEEDYBEAVER
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I must recover it.


 * I'm going to close this as ❌, as you cannot propose to adopt every wiki, and you certainly have a lot of wikis on your plate right now. Thus, I believe it is impracticable for you to effectively manage and build these wikis, ensuring our global policies are upheld on the wikis. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 03:41, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * No, I just want to recover the wiki, that is all. Galaxy Star  ( ch@t ) 10:03, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

marveloustvshowepisodeswiki.miraheze.org
Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:10, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: marveloustvshowepisodeswiki.miraheze.org
 * Username: Blubabluba9990
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Since this wiki is abandoned and has no content and my previous adoption request failed, I figured I would adopt this wiki since it has a similar concept, it was requested a while ago by a user who is not globally locked and since there is no content, it is literally a blank slate. Also since I will not be unblocked on the Reception Wikis anytime soon it is a good replacement for Best Shows & Episodes Wiki. Pretty much the same reason as my previous request for adoption for Best Episodes Wiki.
 * I'm pretty confident you're not allowed to use a different wiki just because you were blocked on the main wiki... Musicismylife (talk) 20:59, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If the content distinguishes itself, there isn't a 'main wiki' for the purposes of adoption. But making that distinction would probably be best for the figures reviewing the request. --Raidarr (talk) 03:13, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I may even withdraw this soon now that I messaged DarkMatterMan4500 about unblocking me. Thought that is not set in stone. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 22:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you still wish to pursue this request? --Raidarr (talk) 08:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Closing this as ❌ given the requestor's apparent of lack of interest in this wiki, given that they contemplated withdrawing their request. As well, it's unclear to what extent the user was pre-existing contributor to this since deleted wiki. Dmehus (talk) 03:42, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: myworldhistoric.miraheze.org
 * Username: Meme2001C (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No, but a sysop/wiki owner
 * Reason: It's for my own history in my imagination, and since I want the site to be part of me and my fictional locations, TV shows, characters and even more. Thank you for your advice on Miraheze, and I wanted the site to be activated, but that's ok.


 * The wiki is no longer available I'm afraid. Was it public? If so you can still find the database and possibly recreate it. If it was private you may be able to contact a sysadmin, but it may unfortunately be lost. --Raidarr (talk) 08:31, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Given the above inability to access the wiki and the need to take this matter beyond the adoption process, I've marked this as ❌. Please see the above ; if it was public I can try to help dig, if private it's most likely lost. --Raidarr (talk) 23:17, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Meme2001C Closing this as ❌ as the wiki database  has already been dropped. Please reach out to   to see if Reception123 has a private deleted wiki backup that can possibly be restored. Dmehus (talk) 04:15, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Kevenson Apologies for the delay in actioning this, this LGTM as the wiki was not manually closed by local wiki bureaucrats, whether following a community discussion or not, so I've ✅ the wiki for you, as an existing contributor to the wiki.

alchemystars.miraheze.org
Arusuryuka (talk) 20:48, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: alchemystars.miraheze.org
 * Username: Arusuryuka (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I have request alchemystars wiki at miraheze main page. But, my request has been declined because that wiki already created. So, I visit that wiki. While visiting that wiki, the wiki was closed and cannot anything to do there and then need adoption. After seeing that notice, I request adoption this wiki because I want to mirror and translate the content from Alchemy Stars JP. Thank you.
 * Arusuryuka As the wiki was manually closed by Retsu, as the only contributor to (and bureaucrat) on the wiki, ostensibly for migration to another platform, I'm marking this as ❌ per the Steward convention regarding manually-closed wikis. Please reach out to Retsu for consent to have Stewards' let you adopt it or, alternatively, request a similar wiki, taking care to define a clear purpose, scope, and topic(s) for your requested wiki.

 * Julien-Lecaille Apologies for the delay in actioning this. As XavierV recently requested to have this wiki undeleted and reopened at stewards' noticeboard, this has already been ✅. Thus, I've pinged XavierV to this thread to consider granting you co-bureaucrat and sysop rights on the wiki, given your interest in the wiki. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 03:53, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

kbosfunnies.miraheze.org
Dorbeez101 (talk) 20:14, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: kbosfunnies.miraheze.org
 * Username: Dorbeez101 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: Exposing a former “friend” (Geoshea) and his serious crimes (pedophilia/CP, zoophilia, death threats, etc).
 * I'm going to give this a definitive 'heck no' and close it immediately on behalf of Miraheze Meta. 1, the wiki was manually closed and this cannot be undone through the adoptions process without serious community support to refer to. 2, adopting a wiki specifically to 'expose' a user with a dox-like description and extreme accusations is in direct violation of the Content Policy and can easily run afoul of the Code of Conduct to boot. Though fixable I will add 3, the request including the link provided is malformed. This request simply ❌, nor would a wiki be allowed to be created on Miraheze for this purpose. --Raidarr (talk) 20:41, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * In addition to what Raidarr has stated, Miraheze allow hosting of such expository materials on Miraheze pursuant to the Content Policy provision stating that "Miraheze does not host wikis with the sole purpose to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people." As such, all adoption and wiki requests with this such purpose will be declined. Thank you for your understanding. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 21:52, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This is ❌, but not strictly done for the reason articulated above. As this is largely a personal, albeit public, wiki of a Miraheze user, I believe this would be a perversion of both Dormancy Policy and our processes to allow this wiki to be adopted in the normal process. Aside from that, I do have serious concerns for your reason for wanting to adopt any wiki for that reason. Dmehus (talk) 04:10, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: easalerts.miraheze.org
 * Username: HibiscusCrown20 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I saw this wiki getting created a while ago and it piqued my interest as someone who takes interest in the Emergency Alert System and similar warning systems, but it sadly never got any activity as far as I can tell, and it seems as though the founder has unfortunately abandoned it. I'm requesting to adopt this wiki because I think the wiki's concept of the kinds of alerts that can be issued through the EAS (and maybe even other emergency warning systems from around the world) has a decent amount of potential to work with.

 * The wiki does not exist and you have not completed the form. Perhaps it was deleted, in which case a Steward can check and possibly restore, but if it went away for too long then it would be on archive.org. Otherwise I'd fill in the details and make sure the wiki you're looking for is correct, as this could easily be outside the scope of the adoptions process. --Raidarr (talk) 10:38, 19 October 2021 (UTC

 * Wiki: windows.miraheze.org
 * Username: Lakelimbo (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This wiki is essentially inactive and I wish I could adopt to reset everything and start from scratch. While right now it's not under the 'inactivity period', it was for almost 40 days, then someone made a small edit on the wiki, resetting the timer. If needed, I can try contacting the original creator of the wiki (which is not interested on Miraheze anymore, as far as I know) to confirm the adoption for this specific circumstance.


 * The ideal/standard process for this is to host a local wiki election; as you noted on discord this could result in zero replies, and as Agent replied it would be an easy election, and given an odd 7 days to see it through properly, I think it might have been the faster route to take in the first place. --Raidarr (talk) 18:51, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I'm a bit unsure about that, especially considering that the wiki is pretty much lacking any namespaces or anything aside from some random fractured pages. But in any case, I actually contacted the bureaucrat of the wiki now, and they seem to be ok with that. &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 19:38, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Excellent, so they should perform the transfer of power themselves. Otherwise the evidence still needs to be here to take action, and spending time to officially say you should get it is time they should just offer the transfer as it would be likely much quicker than this process. --Raidarr (talk) 19:46, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: I started the local election, as suggested. I'll wait some days to see the results (if there's any). &mdash;Lakelimbo (talk)&emsp; 20:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 04:38, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: umga.miraheze.org
 * Username: John Kent (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: The old owner, Chara, has ignored requests for me to assume ownership, and I am the owner of the UMGA discord server. This server is endorsed by founder SmilesForMiles#6969, and I am elizabeth maria kent#9909. The reason I am requesting this now of all times is because I plan to edit it to add the new iteration of the server, and no known bureaucrats are responding.


 * I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 04:38, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I am tasked with running this page, but we only use it during term time. Unfortunately summer vacation caused the page to close.


 * Hey ; I see this was recently taken care of, but you may want to take a look at this page (exceptions) for a way to make sure it won't be automatically closed again if you think the wiki is eligible. With a brief glance I think it has a shot. Sorry for the wait here. --Raidarr (talk) 17:09, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: oddkast.miraheze.org
 * Username: Medic7 (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: The Owner of the Wiki is not active and the Wiki needs numerous changes, some of which the only the owner has the permission to do. I plan to actively update the Wiki as well as bring more attention to it making it more useful.


 * Hey there. Unfortunately per the Dormancy Policy, adoption is not possible unless the wiki is outright closed and impossible to edit. The wiki is inactive, which means you can edit it still. The standard here is to hold a local election instead to allow anyone including previous contributors or the old owner to comment. How that election is set up is pretty much up to you (and chances are nobody's really going to comment anyway), let me know if you'd like a hand since I know this is a bit of red tape. You can also wait the 15 days for it to close so it can be adopted. Hope it helps. --Raidarr (talk) 16:50, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ per above. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:58, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Username: GRAELSCHOLARS (CentralAuth)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): unsure?
 * Reason: the person in charge of running wiki is currently taking a hiatus and because of it, wiki was inadvertantly closed due to inactivity. my name is listed as primary user, but im still new to the whole thing.
 * Hello . I noticed your edit. Unfortunately the Steward who is usually able to handle these has been absent for a time, so the speed of handling these requests have stalled. I'll leave a ping for or even  to see if they can squeeze in a long-needed review of this page. Unfortunately you are not listed as having any rights on that wiki while it is set to private. If you know the direct link to the list you're talking about, it may help. Otherwise I'm afraid this request is impossible for that reason. According to CentralAuth you are not a bureaucrat, or indeed a member. Could this be a newer account and you have an old one you can post with that does have rights there? --Raidarr (talk) 08:12, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * apparently i forgot to put the correct page name. its the parliament of knives wiki GRAELSCHOLARS (talk) 16:12, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Is it the same link as above? --Raidarr (talk) 18:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This appears to have been resolved since I see no closure notice on the wiki and you appear to have full rights. I've marked this request as ✅, but if there's anything needed or any questions still feel free to reply. --Raidarr (talk) 23:22, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
