 * Wiki: geopolitik.miraheze.org
 * Username: Isle
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No.
 * Reason: The person who made this wiki is no longer affiliated with the wiki and has stepped down. We are starting it back up again and would like to get it adopted
 * First, thank you for your adoption request. However, it was somewhat malformed. Please note that the Miraheze subdomain, not the custom domain should be used for adoption requests, and, additionally, there is no need to add an additional section header. Second, regarding your request, thank you for your valid adoption request, assuming this was the intended wiki. A steward will review your request within the next week or so, after which they will reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for one or more weeks. Within several weeks, they will review your contributions, and grant you  rights on the local wiki if successful.  If that was not the correct wiki, please do advise of the correct wiki. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 20:07, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The wiki has been reopened. -- Void  Whispers 02:04, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (not sure which of you to ping). Is there still an interest in this request? -- Void  Whispers 22:10, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 06:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if is your legitimate alternate account or not, so perhaps you could clarify, ideally with confirmations from both accounts, whether this is the case or not. Apologies for the delay in assessing your adoption request. Anyway, I trust you're still interested in this request, but, presumably, were just busy during the Christmas holiday period. While the edits made were fairly minor, you certainly compensate in terms of quantity of edits. Crucially, you've been an active contributing member of this community going back a full year or more. Accordingly, this LGTM, and so this is ✅, 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: goodsoftware.miraheze.org
 * Username: Ice cake 2543
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The reason why I want to adopt the wiki is because I think it has a bright future and I will take good care of it and try to promote the wiki as well. I also make to make a page on this wiki. I hope you understand and let me save this wiki thanks
 * This request seems fine to me. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks, reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for at least one week, and then assess your contributions to the wiki and grant rights if successful. Dmehus (talk) 14:01, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have the ability to wait 2-3 weeks Let me know if the wiki is reopened thanks :) Ice cake 2543 (talk) 21:25, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

 * There the a glitch that caused the same message to be sent twice sorry about that Ice cake 2543 (talk) 21:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅! I have struck your duplicate message. Thanks for the head's up. Dmehus (talk) 22:19, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for taking so long to get to your request. The wiki has now been reopened. -- Void  Whispers 22:13, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So I did some edits and there is this message, so are stewards on this wiki? The message says pending review my edit is sent to moderation so are you one of the mods? Ice cake 2543 (talk) 00:23, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I feel like it is something I should know because I am thinking about making a new page for this wiki Ice cake 2543 (talk) 00:27, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay, it looks like that wiki is using Extension:Moderation, so if there are no active bureaucrats, a steward will have to either (a) disable the extension, (b) approve your edits, which would be quite tedious, or (c) add you to the  group. I will ping  to this thread to decide on which course of action to take, since you do need to be able to edit the wiki in order to have your adoption request assessed. I personally would probably favour either of option A or option C. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmehus (talk • contribs) 01:18, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here and just adding the automoderated and moderator groups. This makes it possible for the user to be able to contribute to the wiki, and also allow others to contribute. Just be sure to keep an eye on goodsoftware:Special:Moderation. -- Void  Whispers 01:40, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and thanks for adding unsigned for what is, quite likely, my first unsigned post. I'm not sure if you were directing the last sentence to Ice cake 2543 or to both of us, but if the latter, that special page isn't viewable to me. Dmehus (talk) 01:47, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm not satisfied with the level of the activity on this wiki since it was reopened in nearly two months. There's been little more than 10 edits, all of which have been very minor. Additionally, while may not be active on that wiki, they are active on other Miraheze wikis, so I'd perhaps suggest reaching out to them at User talk:Space0720 and/or User talk:DuchessTheSponge locally. You may also wish to hold a local election on the local wiki, which local bureaucrat(s) or Stewards, in their stead, can assess. Accordingly, I'm making this is ❌ to finalize this adoption request.

 * Related discussion moved from wrong section
 * Thank you Ice cake 2543 (talk) 22:55, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wait I tried to edit and it says to wait to be approved by mods does it mean the mod for this wiki because I am not sure if they are active Ice cake 2543 (talk) 23:30, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Hmm? This appears to be the wrong section? The wiki listed here (minecraftwiki) does not have any mechanisms in place to hold edits for review. -- Void  Whispers 01:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Good point. I was a bit confused as I noticed replied to you thanking you, and yet RealKnockout was the user that requested adopting this wiki. So perhaps it's just the other wiki then. Dmehus (talk) 01:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It is the other wiki I mixed up this section with the good software section I think the Extension moderation should be gone which is why I chose option A Ice cake 2543 (talk) 02:50, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry of the confusion Ice cake 2543 (talk) 02:51, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, well once your adoption request is successful and you have  rights, you can choose to disable the Moderation extension, if you wish. In the meantime, Void has added   for you on the wiki while you edit. You can also moderate others' edits on the wiki using the above special page. Dmehus (talk) 03:08, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 18:14, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not really satisfied with the level of activity on this wiki since it was reopened nearly two months ago. In any case, in the intervening period, existing bureaucrat(s) are now active on the local wiki, so I'd suggest reaching out to them locally to request any rights you may require. If the don't respond to your request, you can also hold a local election on the wiki and request Stewards to assess it in local bureaucrats' stead. Accordingly, I'm going to mark this as ❌.

minecraft.miraheze.org
RealKnockout (talk) 22:24, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: minecraft.miraheze.org
 * Username: RealKnockout
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The wiki is closed and has no admin, I would like to revive it and import pages to it, and eventually gain adminship on it.
 * This request seems fine to me, as this wiki was not manually closed, and I couldn't find any recent changes in the past 60 days. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks, reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for at least one week, and then assess your contributions to the wiki and grant rights if successful. Dmehus (talk) 22:28, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks! RealKnockout (talk) 17:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, the wiki has now been reopened. -- Void  Whispers 22:18, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 06:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Are there any plans to actually look at this request? RealKnockout (talk) 17:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Firstly, please remember that we're all volunteers here, and requests are managed alongside other activities. Please take care not to be too demanding. Secondly, I had a look at your request in the past week, but wasn't satisfied yet with the activity thus far, as edits were quite small and inconsequential (i.e., adding or removing categories to pages). I would rather see you write a couple of new content pages before granting rights. Would you be able to set that as your personal goal for the next week? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * RealKnockout Though you've been a little bit impatient with Stewards above, this ✅. Accordingly, I'm going to mark this as ✅, with  and   rights being added to your account. As a new bureaucrat and administrator on this wiki, please remember that all wikis must adhere to Content Policy; wiki users, administrators, and bureaucrats must adhere to the Code of Conduct (including in their edit and block summaries); and the development of local wiki policies, content style guidelines, and the like should reflect the prevailing consensus of the local community. Additionally, should you have a local discussion on your wiki to remove any local bureaucrats, you may request for Stewards to be dispatched to your local wiki to assess your local wiki community's   deselection process at stewards' noticeboard. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:46, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I'm sorry if I was rude, yes I was getting a bit impatient. I will try my best to be respectful next time. Thank you for the rights. RealKnockout (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Justarandomliberal (talk) 09:54, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: 2020.miraheze.org
 * Username: Justarandomliberal
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: This is a wiki dedicated to an interesting year, to say the least, and I would like to maintain it.
 * Justarandomliberal Interesting and good choice for a wiki to adopt, given the circumstances and events of 2020. This request seems fine to me, as this wiki was not manually closed, and I couldn't find any recent changes in the past 60 days. A steward should review your request in the next 2-3 weeks (quite possibly sooner), reopen the wiki, allowing you to contribute constructively for at least one week, and then assess your contributions to the wiki and grant rights if successful. Dmehus (talk) 16:07, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Justarandomliberal This ✅ as the wiki was not manually closed by a local, so the wiki has been reopened for you to contribute actively over the next week or two, after which a steward will assess your activity and conclude this request accordingly. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:25, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I only see five (5) edits making minor changes or creating sub-stub pages less than one line long. As such, I'm not satisfied with the level of activity since the wiki has been reopened, so going to mark this as ❌. Please continue editing the wiki and either (a) reply to this thread to request a reassessment, (b) open a new thread (if this one has been archived), or (c) hold a local election on the local wiki, requesting Stewards to assess your election in lieu of local bureaucrats. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:00, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: foss.miraheze.org
 * Username: R4356th
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am a big fan of open source and would like to add content to this wiki. It currently one has one page (which is Main Page).
 * This ✅ as the wiki was not manually closed by a local, so the wiki has been reopened for you to contribute actively over the next week or two, after which a steward will assess your activity and conclude this request accordingly. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 16:25, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for both this one and the following request! R4356th (talk) 16:38, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Similar to the above request by Justarandomamerican, I only see five (5) edits making minor changes or creating sub-stub pages less than one line long. As such, I'm not satisfied with the level of activity since the wiki has been reopened, so going to mark this as ❌. Please continue editing the wiki and either (a) reply to this thread to request a reassessment, (b) open a new thread (if this one has been archived), or (c) hold a local election on the local wiki, requesting Stewards to assess your election in lieu of local bureaucrats.

womenintech.miraheze.org
R4356th (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: womenintech.miraheze.org
 * Username: R4356th
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I am a feminist and would love to add content to this wiki. It does not have any page without Main Page (which has never even been edited) at the moment.
 * This ✅ also, as the wiki was not manually closed by a local  (indeed, it was barely even edited, if at all). Though a user should not request to adopt every wiki, as far as I'm aware, you have not successfully adopted any wiki yet. Plus, since this and the above wiki are related, broadly, to the topic of free and open source software for which this wiki will include a focus on women software programmers, it would make sense for you to potentially adopt and build out both wikis, so the wiki has been reopened for you to contribute actively over the next week or two, after which a steward will assess your activity and conclude this request accordingly. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 16:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This wiki has apparently not been opened yet. R4356th (talk) 21:50, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Never mind. It appears to be a technical issue. I will report this on Discord. R4356th (talk) 21:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅, thanks to Void. R4356th (talk) 22:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This is very much an edge case, as you've only made about 15 edits on this wiki. However, I do see some more substantive content writing than in the above two adoption requests. This suggests to me this is the wiki around which you want to focus your efforts. I considered marking this as not done, as that would be the more likely outcome here; however, I can see you're interested in maintaining and developing this wiki, so am going to mark this as ✅. Bureaucrat and administrator rights will be added to your account. Dmehus (talk) 00:07, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the really little number of edits. I have been busy. I will start editing the wiki soon. :) 07:48, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. Dmehus (talk) 15:24, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Waldo (talk) 01:32, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: terrifictvnetworks.miraheze.org
 * Username: Waldo
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I think people may find this wiki good, so I think reopening it to be fine. I intend to be active in editing it.
 * The wiki has been reopened for you to actively contribute to the wiki over the next two weeks, after which a steward will assess your activity level quantitatively and qualitatively and grant rights if successful. Please make sure you make an edit on this wiki within the next hour or two, otherwise I will need to make an edit to prevent the wiki from being reclosed the next time the inactivity script is run. As a reminder, too, that per Dormancy Policy, you should not adopt every wiki, but seeing as this would only be your second adopted wiki because this would be a sister or brother wiki to your recently adopted wiki, it should be fine. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:43, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Update: I know I am not an admin but I have noticed he has made several edits there so he might be able to have rights now. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:04, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Please refrain from commenting on others' requests and let Stewards deal with these. Thank you. 20:06, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok sorry. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:16, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. Please just keep this in mind from the next time. :) 20:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I have been quite busy recently but now I have more time to dedicate to this wiki. Chabi (talk) 12:00, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: llengobalear.miraheze.org
 * Username: Chabi
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): YES
 * Reason:
 * Hello, you can go to Special:ManageWiki on your wiki to reopen this wiki by unchecking "Closed" yourself since you are a bureaucrat. I hope this helps. Thank you. R4356th (talk) 12:10, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Please advise when you have gone back into ManageWiki and unchecked the closed box. While I can do this for you as a steward, as it is clearly a request from the local wiki to do so, I believe that it is better to give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime, and have you do it, so you will know how to do this in the future. Dmehus (talk) 15:33, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki has been reopened locally by Chabi. Therfore, I will mark this as ✅. HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 13:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Wiki: railrover.miraheze.org
 * Username: Alex40138
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: To take ownership of Wiki to prevent deletion
 * This ✅ as the wiki was not manually closed by a local, so the wiki has been reopened for you to contribute actively over the next week or two, after which a steward will assess your activity and conclude this request accordingly. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:06, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Alex40138 Though you've only made about twenty, mostly minor, edits to this wiki since it was reopened by Stewards last month, you have more than 80 edits on the wiki, so while edits may be small in byte size, there are plenty of them. Crucially, too, is that you've been a regular or semi-regular contributor to this wiki going back nearly four years (or more). Accordingly, I'm going to mark this as ✅, with  and   rights being added to your account. As a new bureaucrat and administrator on this wiki, please remember that all wikis must adhere to Content Policy; wiki users, administrators, and bureaucrats must adhere to the Code of Conduct (including in their edit and block summaries); and the development of local wiki policies, content style guidelines, and the like should reflect the prevailing consensus of the local community.

 * While I agree with Zppix above that you should've also completed this adoption request for procedural expediency and efficiency, it would be rather bureaucratic to decline this request on that basis alone. As such, this ✅ as the wiki was not manually closed by a local bureaucrat, so the wiki has been reopened for you to contribute actively over the next week or two, after which a Steward will assess your activity and conclude this request accordingly. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 16:04, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi, you are bureaucrat on this wiki so you can reopen it by visiting Special:ManageWiki on your wiki. HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 13:07, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * HeartsDo is correct that as a local  on this wiki, you can reopen it at Special:ManageWiki on your wiki. Nevertheless, as it's been over a week with no follow up from you, I have gone ahead and ✅ it for you. Should your wiki ever become either inactive or closed in future, though, there's no need for you to request to adopt this wiki, please just go into ManageWiki on your wiki and reopen it as I have done for you this time.

 * Username: Tali64³
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: The founder of the wiki hasn't made a single contribution to it, and I want to start it up.
 * ❌ Wiki is opened, you should engage a local election if you need rights HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 17:56, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * As HeartsDo mentioned above, I'll just add the following helpful instructions. Since it seems like this wiki has no active bureaucrats, I would recommend you hold a local election, taking care to take into account the local wiki's permissions elections policies. Assuming your wiki has no local permissions request policies or other election rules, you would follow global customs and conventions for such requests, which see you create an election page on that wiki, on a prominent page, stating the number and type of position(s) you're running for (i.e., administrator, bureaucrat), the name(s) of the candidate(s) running, how long the election shall run for (best practice for 5-7 calendar days), the minimum support ratio required for a successful election, and whether an election can be declared successful after the minimum timeframe if no one expresses a view (i.e., election by acclamation). Once your process has concluded (recommended to last for at least 5-7 calendar days), return to stewards' noticeboard and, in a new thread, state the wiki address, local location of the election, and a steward will assess your local election in absence of a local bureaucrat. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Okay, can you create a local election page on the wiki, like this one? Leave it open for at least seven (7) calendar days, then report your local election to Stewards via Stewards' noticeboard and, after several more days, it can be closed by a Steward in absence of a locally active bureaucrat.

 * It was originally closed for numerous violations of the Code of Conduct and breached the Content Policy after numerous warnings from sysops and stewards to stop with their misbehavior. If you wish to learn more about why it happened, feel free to contact a steward or sysop. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:39, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * How do you know what is even on that wiki? You have no local user groups on that wiki, unless you have a prior account. If that's the case, and that's completely fine, I would just remind you to read user accounts policy and to adhere to it. As a best practice, you should self-disclose all prior account(s) you may have had. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 18:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

CostinTea (talk) 13:48, 6 January 2021 (UTC)


 * This request for adoption seems fine; however, since I note that you aim to migrate material to the Fandom fork wiki of the same name, if it is not your intent to adopt this wiki, would you prefer if I just generated you XML and and image dumps of this wiki that you can import into Fandom? Thanks Dmehus (talk) 15:01, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @Dmehus That's a swell alternative and I would appreciate that. Thank you very much for your quick response! CostinTea (talk) 15:08, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. I will generate the dumps now. Can you e-mail  and reference your wiki username CostinTea, so I know where to e-mail it? Actually, better yet, I'll upload them WeTransfer, and post the dump links here. Dmehus (talk) 15:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll send my email to you as soon as possible. CostinTea (talk) 15:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This is now ✅. Select that external hyperlink in order to download the wiki's XML and image dumps. I have verified the images in the image dump, and opened the XML file successfully in Notepad++. Dmehus (talk) 15:25, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

 * VictorE21 ❌ as there's been contributions on the local wiki since it was reopened more than two weeks ago. However, as I can see you've been active on the wiki prior to this, it seems like rights themselves may not have been needed, and you just wanted the wiki reopened and weren't a  and  . At any rate, the wiki has been reopened. Should the wiki become inactive or closed in the future, you may rerequest to adopt this wiki, ask at stewards' noticeboard for a Steward to reopen the wiki in lieu of active bureaucrats, or hold a local election and request a Steward assess in your election in lieu of locally active bureaucrats.

 * HeartsDo is correct that as a local  on this wiki, you can reopen it at Special:ManageWiki on your wiki. Nevertheless, as it's been over a week with no follow up from you, I have gone ahead and ✅ it for you. Should your wiki ever become either inactive or closed in future, though, there's no need for you to request to adopt this wiki, please just go into ManageWiki on your wiki and reopen it as I have done for you this time.

 * I need it to be re-opened though so that I can make some edits. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I hope the administrator can understand us and restart it.

This would allow you to still adopt the above wiki, potentially. Dmehus (talk) 00:16, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
