Ice cake 2543 (talk) 02:43, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * I have the ability to wait 2-3 weeks Let me know if the wiki is reopened thanks :) Ice cake 2543 (talk) 21:26, 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)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 06:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 18:13, 23 January 2021 (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)
 * I've forgotten about that wiki for a while now, I may come back to the site but I dunno. For now, I might choose to hire more admins/bureaucrats to the wiki. DuchessTheSponge (talk) 03:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * DuchessTheSponge Oh, that's great, thanks for your reply. Ice cake 2543 has been fairly active on that wiki, mainly with small-ish WikiGnome-type edits. Expressing my personal opinion as a community member, they could likely due well to have  and , as those tools may help with their editing contributions and reverting vandalism.

 * 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) 14:02, 8 November 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 ❌.

 * Username: Naughtasulawesi
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No I am not
 * Reason: The wiki is eligible for adoption at https://4b4t.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page/

Naughtasulawesi (talk) 17:09, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * 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) 17:34, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

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)

2020.miraheze.org
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)

R4356th (talk) 12:42, 5 December 2020 (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)

Alex40138 (talk) 17:33, 14 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.

 * Wiki: Spectrobes.miraheze.org
 * Username: Dominic DeVito
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason:
 * please complete the request format or else this won’t be done. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 14:39, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * I should of worded it better... i meant like for it to come off as a possibility. Zppix (Meta &#124; Sysadmin &#124; talk to me) 16:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Relisted to prevent archiving. Aim to handle this in the next week. Dmehus (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌ No contributions in more than a month since the wiki was reopened. Dmehus (talk) 00:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

wvsc.miraheze.org
VictorE21, 16:15 GMT, 9th January 2021
 * Wiki: wvsc.miraheze.org
 * Username: VictorE21
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I want to keep it as an archive of something that once happened.
 * 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) 16:30, 9 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. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:38, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:34, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: worsttvnetworks.miraheze.org
 * Username: Blubabluba9990
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: This wiki has potential, and since Waldo already has a pending adoption request for its sister wiki (Terrific TV Networks Wiki), I decided to make an adoption request for this one.


 * I need it to be re-opened though so that I can make some edits. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 19:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What is the difference between this wiki and the other wiki? 20:08, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Terrific TV Networks Wiki is about good television networks, while Worst TV Networks Wiki is about bad television networks. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:13, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oops, yes, apologies for not noticing that earlier. A Steward will get to this request soon. 20:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:23, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Blubabluba9990 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) 22:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. There is still one problem though. Turns out the network wikis will be merged with the larger Terrible TV Shows wiki and Best TV Shows Wiki as a rebrand for the Reception Wikis, so until then I can keep this wiki up. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 12:58, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: splatoonwiki.miraheze.org
 * Username: Rocke
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: Thanks to Miraheze for providing a platform to splatoonwiki.

I am just a Chinese Splatoon2 player, hoping to build a splatoonwiki on the network. As far as I know, this WIKI was moved from FANDOM, and the Chinese material of this wiki is very important to us!

I hope the administrator can understand us and restart it.

 * Hi, this wiki was deleted by Dormancy Policy but not dropped for the database now. If a steward ( or a other one) can review this when there have time HeartsDo (Talk / Global / Wiki Creator) 16:29, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The wiki has been ✅. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 23:56, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help, I will work hard. Rocke (talk) 07:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Rocke No problem. If you ever see this wiki as either inactive or closed in future, you can just go into Special:ManageWiki on your wiki, uncheck the applicable boxes, and your wiki be restored to full activity again and reopened. Dmehus (talk) 18:07, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Reason: It's inactive.
 * Hi could you please share a better reason? Thank you. :)  19:50, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Though I share R4356th's concern above, 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. Please ensure you make an edit to the wiki before of the end of the day to prevent it being reclosed. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 19:54, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Aw, man, I didn't see that. SpongeBobFan99 (talk) 20:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * SpongeBobFan99 Okay, I'll reopen this wiki again, since you missed the message, but I have my doubts as to whether you will generate sufficient contributions on both this wiki and the SpongeBob wiki (see below). Since users should generally not adopt every wiki, please decide which wiki you're most interested in adopting (this one or the one below), and reply in the thread for the wiki you're most interested in adopting. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:09, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Closing this as ❌ since SpongeBobFan99 has been granted local user rights on the below wiki by the local bureaucrat. Please advise if any interest still in this request. Dmehus (talk) 22:17, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Actually, I see Cocopuff2018 is the bureaucrat on this wiki, so they may be able to reopen this wiki at Special:ManageWiki, and you can contribute to the wiki, requesting any right(s) you may require for your editing. This would allow you to still adopt the above wiki, potentially. Dmehus (talk) 00:16, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: abysmalthetoptennersandlists.miraheze.org
 * Username: KalloFox34
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I believe that the wiki has genuine potential, and it's probably for the best that it gets a new owner instead of dying off.
 * I'm going to mark this request as ❌, mainly because this wiki has essentially zero content, and its sole contributors, essentially, deleted/anonymized users. Moreover, from a procedural standpoint, given how near this wiki is to deletion per Dormancy Policy, you would be better off requesting a wiki, taking care to define a clear purpose and scope for your wiki. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 01:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Username: Hbcpraise
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No answer given
 * Reason: I am the bureaucrat, but when I got Special:ManageWiki everything is greyed out and I cannot uncheck "closed"


 * Hbcpraise I've ✅ the wiki for you. Looking at this special page, it looks like Jim-ng is the only  on the wiki. I noted you are a   on the wiki, which usually indicates a private wiki. It looks like it was a private wiki until this log action made by the local wiki bureaucrat made the wiki public. So, my question would be mainly for Jim-ng as the wiki bureaucrat, did you guys want all users to view your wiki's pages? With private wikis, if you want users to be able to view pages, you just need to add the   group to the user(s) you want to have access. So, clarification there would be helpful. In addition, do you still want to adopt the wiki, by contributing to the wiki over the next several weeks in order to obtain   and   rights on the wiki, or did you just want it reopened? If the latter, this is now ✅. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

alternatehistory.miraheze.org
Emperore (talk) 22:09, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: alternatehistory.miraheze.org
 * Username: Emperore
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The website's administrators are very inactive and permissions on the website are limiting. You cannot add/edit templates, create your own user page, or even edit the sandbox. I want to adopt the website to improve it and fuel activity since it seems that the strict permissions are a deterrent and there are many missing templates that are necessary for an alternate history wiki.


 * Emperore It looks like Sapphire Williams, the only (sort of) recently active  on this wiki has protected certain namespaces on   at  . So, while this wiki isn't eligible for adoption, you have a couple of options, which I'll itemize in turn:
 * Request  permissions from Sapphire Williams on their local user talk page. If they don't reply after a few days to week, then you can either return to this thread or message me in some other venue (i.e., at User talk:Dmehus or stewards' noticeboard) requesting the   permission be granted in lieu of local administration; or,
 * Hold a local election for the position(s) you require, whether  and/or , following the tips and best practices at User:Dmehus/local election.
 * Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 16:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Emperore See my reply on Sapphire Williams' user talk page on that wiki. While I could grant you  permissions in lieu of locally active administration, as you only need one more edit on that wiki, the very act of you replying to my reply on that user talk page will make you  . Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:03, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Dawnstar This LGTM, as the wiki was not manually closed by a local bureaucrat, so I've ✅ in lieu of locally active bureaucrats. After several wikis, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed by Stewards, and  and   user groups may be added to your account at that time. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:22, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Wiki: fantastictoys.miraheze.org
 * Username: DarkMatterMan4500
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No.
 * Reason: The reason why I am making this request is basically 2 things: For 1, it has been entirely inactive with no local sysop to take care of the wiki, and as for reason #2, I figured this wiki would have much potential for a revival, and a new look for it. So, I'd like you to consider my adoption request in advance. Thanks.


 * I have ❌ this request as locally handled as has reopened the wiki and granted you   and   rights. Good luck with this wiki! :)  07:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Reason: I wish to adopt the ith. I was the original creator of that wiki, and ended up being inactive on it. I wish to try again.
 * IdleDiscovery As you are a  on this wiki, can you please go into Special:ManageWiki, uncheck "inactive" and "closed", so your wiki will be reopened? When that's done, I'll update this request's status. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:12, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I am so very new at this, that I was not able to find Special:ManageWiki at first. I have now unchecked the "inactive" and "closed" boxes as per your instructions, and submitted that. IdleDiscovery (talk) 15:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * IdleDiscovery ✅, and that's no problem at all. I've now marked this as locally handled. You can learn more about ManageWiki at ManageWiki. You may also find FAQ helpful. You can ask specific questions on either Discord, IRC, or community noticeboard, and someone should be able to answer them. Dmehus (talk) 15:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thenk you very much for the help IdleDiscovery (talk) 15:44, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Dread (talk) 16:56, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wiki: arda.miraheze.org
 * Username: Dread
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): NO
 * Reason: I would like to repurpose the wiki for a possible world-building community project.
 * Dread ❌ as the purpose of requests for adoption is to take over management and administration of existing wikis, not usurp another wiki's subdomain. This wiki has not been edited in approximately five months, and should be deleted in a little over a month from now. So, I'd suggest either (a) waiting until then and requesting a wiki or, if you cannot wait, (b) requesting a wiki with a different subdomain, then monitoring for when this wiki's database is dropped, and then filing a task on Phabricator to rename your wiki.
