 * Wiki: osaindex.miraheze.org
 * Username: 재미재미
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: This wiki is an archive of Osawiki(오사위키), which was closed in the end of 2016. However, the bureaucrat of the wiki, User:PlavorSeol had permanently banned due to Requests for Comment/Community Ban for PlavorSeol. More than 60 days passed, so adoption of this site is now available. As one of the administrators of Osawiki, I want to take over the wiki's operating rights. This page(written in Korean) shows that I was the former manager of Osawiki.
 * The wiki has been reopened, I'll take a look at transferring over perms later. -- Void  Whispers 20:37, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌ No activity on the wiki in the period since. Please let me know if there is any further interest in this request. -- Void  Whispers 19:32, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Could you please review this request? I couldn't contribute anything on this wiki because it does not allow editing for normal users. (https://osaindex.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights) If I receive the bureaucrat, I'll try my best on it. --재미재미 (talk) 01:36, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've put this back on hold, and assigned the edit right to the user group. I'll return to this shortly. -- Void  Whispers 23:37, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisting this request that is still on hold, to prevent the bot from archiving it until it has been finalized by Void or another steward. Dmehus (talk) 15:08, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Three weeks have passed, but there's still no response. Since the original administrator was permanently banned, there is no one to manage the site, and now I am the only editor. I'd appreciate it if you let me adopt this site. I'll try my best to manage it. --재미재미 (talk) 14:04, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , your very act of replying to this thread will prevent the bot from archiving this thread for a further three weeks. Nevertheless, I don't think it will take that long, and a steward should be along shortly to action the outstanding adoption requests. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 14:32, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌ Wiki's manually cannot be adopted. -- Void  Whispers 21:47, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * please discuss this with due to the manual closure. --  Void  Whispers 02:01, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * To add to what said, you may be interested in this related discussion in which, an administrator but not a bureaucrat on that wiki, also enquired about adoption. It's somewhat complicated, but essentially since that wiki was manually closed, common practice among stewards and system administrators is to let local policies and actions dictate any involvement until, presumably, it would normally otherwise qualify at Requests for adoption. Among the options suggested, you could contact the local bureaucrat who closed that wiki, you could contact another (albeit inactive) bureaucrat, to locally adopt it, or you could hold some sort of community vote on the wiki to add new bureaucrats, taking care to follow local policies (if any) that exist on that wiki. If no bureaucrat is available to close and action that community vote, then a steward can be called upon at SN here on Meta to assess the vote and take any action. So, you may want to reach out to Nihirichan about possibly organizing something locally. Hope that helps you out. Dmehus (talk) 05:16, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Wiki: pizzahat.miraheze.org

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki hasn’t been edited in a fair bit but realised I got could get something out if it since I have something with a similar name. I understand that it’s a private wiki and it may not be possible to adopt it as a public one.
 * Indeed, this is a private wiki, but I'll ping to this thread to see if there's another alternative that could be done. I'm not sure how many days left until this wiki will actually be deleted, but perhaps we could accelerate deletion, preserving the existing database for the original wiki owner should they like it, in order to make the address available for a new wiki? Just wondering aloud here. Dmehus (talk) 14:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Mariofan12 (talk) 21:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki: mariowiki.miraheze.org
 * Username: Mariofan12
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason:
 * , Amanda and I both declined, procedurally really because the requested URL already existed, this wiki request from Mariofan12. The user had a clear purpose and scope. I realize you normally like to see contributions by the requesting user for a week, but since this existing closed wiki is in a different language, that will prove difficult. So, I'm happy to this user adopting it and repurposing it as an English (or other) language wiki. The user seems to have both the motivation and a clear purpose for making this wiki useful again. Dmehus (talk) 14:21, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌., it looks like this wiki was deleted before a steward had tended to your adoption request, which may have been somewhat late in coming. Was there much content on this wiki? If not, feel free to submit a new request at Special:RequestWiki, linking to this adoption request, if you wish. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:11, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

gg.miraheze.org

 * Wiki: gg.miraheze.org
 * Username: Zergrieft
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Procedurally moved from this wiki creation request as the requesting user, Zergrieft, wanted to start a wiki related to his Minecraft network, history of builds, and informational articles related to such, construed broadly. Since he is a user on that wiki and since that wiki is "closed," it seemed like a clear case for adoption. Note that I am not the one requesting to adopt; it should be Zergrieft. Pinging to consider this request.
 * -- Dmehus (talk) 14:10, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌. did you still want to adopt this wiki? Unfortunately, your request was likely made late cycle, so this wiki has since been deleted without steward action. Was there a lot of content on this wiki? If so, after you request creation of a new wiki, with this subdomain or a new subdomain, you should be able to file a Phabricator ticket to import an XML dump from this wiki's database.

rust.miraheze.org
Chris13524 (talk) 19:01, 9 July 2020 (UTC) him adopting this wiki. Ultimately, though,, a steward (which will probably be Void in all likelihood) will make the final assessment, but I'm happy to chime in if that's helpful in the determination. Dmehus (talk) 19:56, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 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
 * Relisting pending steward action. Dmehus (talk) 15:17, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌: No activity since reopening. -- Void  Whispers 00:49, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 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)

 * I see that is the bureaucrat on that wiki. Did you have an e-mail address that you still have access to linked to  so that you can recover access to that account? If not, or if you don't otherwise have access to that account's e-mail address, are you able to reach out to a steward or a system administrator privately (e-mail or verified Discord account is probably best) to arrange to verify that you own the  account? I'm going to ping  to this thread, to follow up with you, principally, because he's so responsive to pings. Dmehus (talk) 18:41, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No,
 * Reason: Abandoned Wiki
 * Since this wiki is abandoned/closed, I'm not opposed to you taking over this wiki, but I would like to see this wiki renamed. It never should've been able to be approved with the subdomain hostname. So, I think, as a first step, since there's little (if any) content on this wiki and low to nil activity, we should rename this wiki in terms of its hostname and, ideally, its database name as well. We should then add subdomain to our subdomain blacklist, in keeping with similar subdomains that aren't permitted to be used on customer wikis. Dmehus (talk) 15:22, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Per my discussion on Discord with, one of our system administrators, I am declining this request as cannot be undertaken due to this subdomain not being an acceptable subdomain for a customer wiki. In short, it never should've been created in the first place. Dmehus (talk) 18:40, 22 July 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.

 * Reason: A disruptive user (Cerok/Inkster) took away my adminship
 * 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)
 * Also, just checked Special:ManageWiki/core, and noted this wiki isn't closed, either, but you should be able to still have a local election. Dmehus (talk) 02:07, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no

If a steward can already see you are serious about the adoption by making improvements to the wiki, then it makes the adoption process quicker (i.e., they don't necessarily have to request that you actively edit the wiki over the next week).

 * 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  . Hope this helps. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 05:40, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
