Requests for reopening wikis

Reopening Qualitipedia

 * Wiki:
 * Username: UnboundBeartic (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: Hi, I created my account to edit Reception Wikis such as Qualitipedia but I was disappointed when it was closed before I can even make a few edits. My last request saying that I should just edit other Receptions wikis such as Qualitipedia. I was planning to make many edits to the website such as adding the Twilight Saga sequels and Dragon Quest: Your Story. I was wondering, what would it take to reopen Qualitipedia, what would you recommend doing. Would you allow reopening of all qualitipedia sites at once. Would you require creating replacements. What would you recommend.


 * I'm afraid this cannot be undertaken, as Qualitipedia was closed under a community vote that supported closure. Marxo Grouch (talk) 00:31, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Marked as ❌, per above. Also, UnboundBeartic, for future requests, please do not use the 'Add topic' button, instead, click 'Add request'. Thank you for understanding. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 01:36, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Additionally, the creation of new reception wikis has been prohibited on Miraheze per an RfC. You will have to choose another wiki farm if you want to recreate Qualitipedia. Tali64³ (talk) 14:54, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

mesh.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Matildaglen (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: I want to adopted Mesh or have it re-activated as myself and my collective Into The Wild have received Arts Council England funding to run a series of sessions to help populate this wiki in order to created an artist built recourse for early career artist so they can better connect to local and national art communities. Esther set up this wiki initially, but is no longer in the collective that is why I would like to take over as Bureaucrat. For more information you can get in touch with me, matildascottglen@gmail.com

infinitycup.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Icupanon (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: I would like to reopen the wiki as the original owner has seemingly disappeared and it has been regaining activity during the last two months.
 * Icupanon (talk) 00:55, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The wiki is showing an inactive (not closed) notice, which means that it can still be edited. The wiki has had activity, which suggests that the inactive notice showing is the result of a bug. Tali64³ (talk) 20:07, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Is there a way for the Miraheze stuff to remove that notice from the front page? Icupanon (talk) 18:06, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * It appears that the wiki is not labeled as inactive nor closed. As such, I've closed this request. Please reach out if you need any assistance. If I closed this in error and missed something, please feel free to undo. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 05:48, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, I've checked the wiki today and it's not an error. The owner has decided to log on today, give administrative rights to other three people and uncheck the "Inactive" box on the wiki. Hopefully this means any of them can keep the wiki active.
 * Thank you for the response regardless. Icupanon (talk) 12:05, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

hobbies.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Cat (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
 * Reason: would like to work on the wiki again
 * Cat (talk) 02:17, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the wiki has been deleted and its database appears to have been dropped. If you would like to recreate this wiki, please use Special:RequestWiki. Tali64³ (talk) 20:04, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ❌. Apologies. Please feel free to request a new wiki at Special:RequestWiki. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 05:45, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

magehands.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Al2der (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: Wiki was last edited in July 2022; We're presently trying to migrate this to paid hosting, but the wiki appears to be in a soft-deleted state (browsing to its subdomain gives a 404, but Special:ManageWiki/core/magehandswiki is still alive (although entirely greyed-out), and shows it as NOT Closed and NOT Inactive). The most recent backup we have access to locally is from ~2½ years ago, so we would like to get this revived and a current archive retrieved. I posted about this ~3 weeks ago at Requests for reopening wikis/Archive 12, but it appears to have been auto-archived by a script.
 * Al2der (talk) 04:03, 19 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Is this the correct forum to be requesting an un-soft-deletion?
 * Again, we would just like to retrieve the most current content of the wiki so that we can move it elsewhere, freeing-up Miraheze resources. There are about two years’ worth of light-but-significant updates and development that we very much don’t want to lose. Al2der (talk) 01:36, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Pinging to assist. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 22:39, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

theheroes.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: CookiesandCream01 (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): Yes.
 * Reason: Wiki was last edited in February 2022; I would like to re-open the Wiki to make changes and add new features and characters to the Wiki because I now think I'd like that. CookiesandCream01 (talk) 20:24, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

ncbca.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Trippytropicana (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): yes
 * Reason: I attempted to re-open the wiki from Special:ManageWiki but was greeted with a "Database locked" message and a "Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBReadOnlyError" message. I had previously made this wiki but forgotten about it, and had wanted to spin it back up for a community project in a game I'm a part of.
 * Trippytropicana (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd like this request to be closed. I tried from another system and it allowed me to manually re-open the wiki Trippytropicana (talk) 23:38, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 05:43, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

lighthouseraiders.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Titanosaur (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: A wiki which has not been updated recently does not indicate that it is no longer needed; merely that either the denizens of the wiki are unable to work on it, or that the work it is based around has been closed. It is vital archival work to preserve old wikis for their information collection and organization. also i damaged my wrists severely adding citations to this wiki and if you delete it i will cry. thats why it hasn't been updated in ages it's because i have had a wrist injury.

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Imperator-Kaiser (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
 * Reason: The wiki is abandoned, and I want to work on the wiki and give it a new impetus
 * As you can see in the recent changes of the wiki, without counting my edits, in the last 30 days, only 1 edit has been made, and it has been an IP, in practice, the wiki is abandoned
 * Imperator-Kaiser (talk) 12:29, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi . The wiki in question does not appear to be closed. From your reason provided, it doesn't appear as if you'd like to reopen the wiki as well. Could you please elaborate? Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 00:37, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

viscera.miraheze.org

 * Wiki:
 * Username: Chillbones (userrights)
 * Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no):
 * Reason: Hello! I'm looking to reopen this wiki after it went into dormancy - I was unable to be active and keep the wiki open for the past month due to some health problems, but now that I've recovered, I'd like to work on it again. I did create the wiki, but despite going to Special:ManageWiki/core, I was taken to a permission error page, so I wasn't sure what else to do. I'd appreciate any and all help you can give me!
