ficreation.miraheze.org

Status:  Not done
  • Wiki: ficreation.miraheze.org
  • Username: Bqi06
  • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
  • Reason: I heard it was shutting down so i wanted to adopt it so it would not be a ghost town

Bqi06 (talk) 20:25, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

@Bqi06: Marking as  Not done because it was manually closed by the wiki's administration. Per steward convention, wikis closed manually cannot be adopted. Agent Isai Talk to me! 20:32, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
@Bqi06: @Agent Isai: If the community of that wiki wants it reopened, then it could likely be arranged. I'd suggest opening a discussion at the Stewards' noticeboard to that effect. — Arcversin (talk) 22:03, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
@Arcversin: Indeed, if Bqi06 can show community consensus on whether the wiki should be reopened, then the wiki can be opened. However, upon further examination of the wiki, it does not appear likely that that will happen due to the many things that have happened there regarding the owner of that wiki. It seems most have fled so I doubt a consensus will be possible. Agent Isai Talk to me! 22:42, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

clubpenguin.miraheze.org

Status:  Not done

Agent Isai Talk to me! 01:14, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Agent Isai Unfortunately, this can't  can't be done because the wiki is not closed in accordance with Dormancy Policy. Even if it were closed in accordance with Dormancy Policy, as this would mark a significant departure from this wiki's approved purpose and scope in that it would be completely repurposed as a backup wiki for another Club Penguin wiki you maintain, I'd be inclined only to reopen the wiki and require a community discussion with the wiki's community in order to make this change. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 21:12, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

bestepisodes.miraheze.org

Status:  Not done
  • Wiki: bestepisodes.miraheze.org
  • Username: Blubabluba9990
  • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
  • Reason: This wiki is close to being closed, and until I can get unblocked from Qualitipedia I can continue to work on the wiki. Also, all three of the admins on the wiki are globally locked.

Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Specifically, since this wiki has not been merged yet with Best Shows & Episodes Wiki, I can contribute to the wiki until I get unblocked on Qualitipedia. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:40, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
I'm going to mark this as  not done for a couple reasons, one of which is similar to the above request by Agent Isai. As you noted, the wiki's users are all globally locked, two of which were self-requested locks, if I'm remembering correctly, and one of which was a Terms of Use ban by Trust and Safety's predecessor, Site Reliability Engineering. That, though, is not one of the reasons for declining this request. For one thing, this wiki has been moribund since mid February 2021 and is slated to be marked for deletion in the next two weeks. With less than five content pages on this wiki, I do not see a compelling reason to depart somewhat from the Dormancy Policy established process in what feels like a bit of a hail Mary attempt to stave off deletion of a wiki which attracted no interest in nearly the entire time. If there's interest in this subdomain.miraheze.org, then you can either (a) request a wiki with a different subdomain, defining a clear purpose and scope for the wiki in accordance with Content Policy and then request on Phabricator to rename the wiki when this subdomain is available in few weeks or (b) wait a few weeks until the wiki's subdomain is available after the wiki's database is dropped. Finally, by your own admission, Best TV Shows and Episodes Wiki is in the process of being merged, so it's not clear why we should upend that local community process, at least not without discussing it with that wiki's local community)? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:23, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Actually, I was saying that Best Episodes Wiki was not merged and is not in the process of merging with Best Shows & Episodes Wiki. Best Episodes Wiki has not been discovered by the admins at Best Shows & Episodes Wiki and the former seems to be, like you said, abandoned and forgotten about. Additionally, I am blocked on Best Shows & Episodes Wiki for reasons discussed on Steward's noticeboard. And yes, two of the global locks were self-requested.

Pérola Maniaco (talk) 02:31, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

 Not done @Pérola Maniaco: This wiki is currently not eligible for adoption as it is only marked as inactive. Please wait another 15 days and it will be marked as closed and eligible for adoption. Thank you! Agent Isai Talk to me! 02:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

crummyscratchers.miraheze.org

Status:  Not done
  • Wiki: crummyscratchers.miraheze.org
  • Username: CircleyverseFaneggdog
  • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
  • Reason: The now-closed Crummy Scratchers Wiki, which is not a place that is made to gossip and talk bad about Scratchers. It is a place to help Scratchers improve. That's why Crummy Scratchers Wiki should come back.

CircleyverseFaneggdog (talk) 15:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

CircleyverseFaneggdog Because this wiki was closed and deleted, you'll need to request this wiki again and ask for a sysadmin to import the old wikis contents again. As a result, this  cannot be undertaken. Agent Isai Talk to me! 20:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
Also, I know this adoption request is kind of old, but this doesn't sound very constructive. I understand this is supposed to be a reception wiki, but "gossiping and talking bad" about scratchers is not what reception wikis are supposed to be. Plus, gossiping is outright a horrible thing.

WindowsViennaFish2010 (talk) 05:48, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

@WindowsViennaFish2010:  Not done because the wiki isn't closed. You can ask local bureaucrats for admin rights if you'd like to help better the wiki. Agent Isai Talk to me! 06:03, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
Okay. WindowsViennaFish2010 (talk) 06:08, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
The single local admin has no contributions noted since 2019 and I can't even get a CentralAuth query on him. In this case, you can create a local election page declaring your intention to become a new B-crat/Admin, letting it run for a while so other contributors may support, oppose or let it happen and bringing the results to a Steward. There seems to be no point in attempting contact given the state of the admin/bcrat list on the wiki. Note if you do this, you should make contact with anyone who has been editing recently so they for sure can have a say, such as Tali64³ and DarkMatterMan4500 for legitimacy. --Raidarr (talk) 12:29, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Dot (talk) 16:05, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Dot  Not done as the wiki is not closed per Dormancy Policy. You can, however, request any permissions you required locally. If bureaucrats are not active within a reasonable period of time (generally, a few weeks or more), you can attend stewards' noticeboard and request a steward's assistance. Thank you.

But I can't access my username on easypedia to give rights. Sperosdurell (talk) 00:22, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm ok on meta but easypedia I'm locked out. Sperosdurell (talk) 00:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
I don't think you're being in any way intentionally deceptive. Rather, I think part of the problem here is a cookie issue. Please go here and logout completely. Once that's done, delete all cookies for *.miraheze.org and any wikis with custom domains, then go here, login with your new account and CentralAuth should auto-sign you in. To save you having to first login with your other account, I will grant rights locally for you. Dmehus (talk) 00:44, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 Rights added to your now confirmed alternate account, per your request. Dmehus (talk) 00:49, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
It worked!!! Much appreciated. Sperosdurell (talk) 01:18, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

chromeball.miraheze.org

Status:  Not done
  • Wiki: chromeball.miraheze.org
  • Username: SchizoACC (CentralAuth)
  • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
  • Reason: This wiki is inactive, the admin has abandoned it and not made a single edit and I'm the only editor there. I need to adopt this wiki so I can complete my revamp plan. I also contacted all the old users of former Chromeball wiki on Fandom(It was closed by Fandom). I believe this is a fresh start for a wiki that has the potential to surpass its old Fandom-version. PercyUK also said that the wiki needs a bureaucrat with access to enable services, and he recommended me to apply for adoption.

Here is what PercyUK told me: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Community_noticeboard#Infobox_template_glitch
SchizoACC (talk) 12:33, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

@SchizoACC:  Cannot be undertaken because the wiki isn't closed for inactivity. You can only adopt a wiki if it's been closed automatically for inactivity. I'd suggest you contact the bureaucrat and leave them a message (preferably here on Meta) and see if they grant you bureaucrat. Agent Isai Talk to me! 02:06, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Is it true that the wiki will be closed after 60 days of inactivity? SchizoACC (talk) 02:51, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
@SchizoACC: That is true, yes. Please read Dormancy Policy for more information. Agent Isai Talk to me! 03:13, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Status:  Not done
  • Wiki: oddkast.miraheze.org

  • 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.

Medic7 (talk) 16:19, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

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)

I'll try and get to this this week. Dmehus (talk) 04:38, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
Penarc1 Similar to your adoption request for linguapediawiki 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 debilepediewiki. As such, this LGTM and is thus  done, with bureaucrat and sysop 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.

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.

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  not done. 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.

  • 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.

Tali64³ (talk) 23:38, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

@Tali64³: 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)
@Tali64³: 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  not done in absence of a good reason.

  • 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.

Dorbeez101 (talk) 20:14, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

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  cannot and will not be done, nor would a wiki be allowed to be created on Miraheze for this purpose. --Raidarr (talk) 20:41, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
@Dorbeez101: 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  not done, 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)

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.

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)

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 Galaxy Star) 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)
 Not done for a few reasons. reallifevillainswiki exists, and this villainswiki 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, scumtubewiki is being observed closely by Stewards. It's also curious why Galaxy Star has requested to have reallifevillainswiki 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.

  • 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.

 —Lakelimbo (talk)  18:18, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

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.  —Lakelimbo (talk)  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)

Given the highly unusual nature of the wiki's closure, the usual adoption process does not apply and I think you'd have been better off keeping this on the Stewards' noticeboard. Especially since quite frankly this is less kept up with regularly than the noticeboard. --Raidarr (talk) 19:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Also I just wanted to say, I think that considering that TNRW is older than TCP, TCP should probably be merged into TNRW, not the other way around. FatBurn0000 (talk) 21:08, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Reopening was refused on the Stewards' noticeboard, so I expect it will be refused here officially in due course as well. Raidarr (talk) 22:15, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Considering that TNRW was abandoned and TCP is still active (And the fact I am still interested in working on it), merging with TCP would be a better option. TigerBlazer (talk) 21:18, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

The merits either way are a discussion to be had locally upon reopening, I think. There are merits to either approach, or letting them exist independently. Though TNRW still requires the question of its identity to be addressed in any case, as this was a core issue with how it worked before. --Raidarr (talk) 22:10, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 04:41, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
HibiscusCrown20 Apologies for the delay in responding, but this LGTM, as the wiki was not locally manually closed. So I've  locally reopened the wiki. Over the next couple of weeks, your contributions to the wiki will be assessed, quantitatively as well as qualitatively, to help to ensure you will be a suitable caretaker of this wiki. At that point, bureaucrat and sysop rights may be added to your account at that time. Dmehus (talk) 04:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Bongo Cat this LGTM as the wiki was not manually closed by local wiki bureaucrats, whether following a community discussion or not, so I've  locally reopened 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) 23:26, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

@InternoPédia: Destruipédia does not exist. I think you meant "Destruipedia". However, this wiki is not closed. YellowFrogger (Talk Edits) 02:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
It's not closed but the bureaucrats have abandoned it and I'm just editing here, if vandals come to attack this wiki, I won't be able to deal with them much. Can't I adopt or have already adopted this wiki? InternoPédia (talk) 03:28, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
InternoPédia, 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. Ma͡gogre (talk) 07:45, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
But how and where do I apply for this election? What should I do to get this election going?
InternoPédia (talk) 04:48, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
InternoPédia, as I said above, you'll need to request bureaucratship (and/or adminship) on any prominent page like Community noticeboard or Project:Administrators' noticeboard on the wiki which you want to adopt (mh:destruipedia in your case) and wait at least 5-6 calendar days and then leave a note for the Stewards on SN with thr link to the election page to gain the rights. If you don't get any votes, that is no problem but the actual need is only to hold a local election on the wiki (mh:destruipedia). See this SN thread for example. --Magogre (talk) 07:03, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
But does this election have to be created on some special page on Destruipedia like a Forum, MediaWiki, Module? I'm sorry, but I have never requested the adoption of a wiki and I don't know how to do it, if I would have to create a vote like "Do you agree to approve the user InternoPedia for the Destruipedia administrator ( In this case, you would vote for the alternatives yes and no)? "Would the vote have to be taken in a poll? Would I have to order from MediaWiki first?
InternoPédia (talk) 22:37, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
InternoPédia, it is ok if you create the election in Destruipédia namespace. Yeah, you should create a vote in which you should say about your contributions to the wiki and how will the wiki benefit if you became the bureaucrat. I am not sure, what you meant by order from MediaWiki. But there is no use of external things. You should request the the bureaucratship on Destruipédia's community portal creating a new section for you request here. If you still don't get it, I'd recommend joining IRC or Discord to get help from users in real time. Thank you. --Magogre (talk) 05:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
First of all, I would like to thank you for everything and also apologize for taking so long to answer, sometimes, I happen to be solving a lot and one of them is the adoption of Destruipedia. So I did a vote on the wiki I'm trying to adopt (Destroipedia) and I'll pass the link you see and talk to me because I would like to know if the special page in the form I edited is right and if something is missing or if I would even have to correct it this page, edit it or even create a new one, I'll give you its link here:

Why did you speak english on the wiki? No need. Also, this wiki I already edited in it, and apparently, you will take it back to you. I hope you don't change the name. YellowFrogger (Talk Edits) 14:38, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Next, 7 days have passed since the creation of the election that will decide whether or not I will be an administrator of Destruipedia and yesterday I sent a request on the SN:
https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Stewards%27_noticeboard#My_request_to_the_bureaucrat_at_Destruipedia but I still haven't got an answer because no administrator has responded,I want to know what's going on because no one has responded yet? There were no votes for or against, but here in the comments @Pérola Maniaco supports my promotion to bureaucrat. I'm waiting for the answer.InternoPédia (talk) 22:26, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
InternoPédia, the request looks good to me. After few days (notably 5-7 days) place a request on SN and a steward will access your request and grant you the rights, if there was no opposition. Magogre (talk) 14:57, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Magogre Yes, but I hope he doesn't change his name. It's okay for him to adopt, but the owner and the rollbacker keeps looking YellowFrogger (Talk Edits) 15:08, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Eu já tentei adotar a Destruipédia porque eu, não queria ver esse projeto morrer, mesmo que eu seja um usuário banido infinitamente por lá por motivos particulares do antigo burocrata. Para mim, eu apoio que o InternoPédia vire Burocrata, por está bem interessado nesse Site. Uma pena eu não poder, votar a favor na sua votação por lá. English: I've already tried to adopt Destruipedia because I didn't want to see this project die, even though I'm an infinitely banned user there for the private reasons of the former bureaucrat. For me, I support InternoPédia becoming a bureaucrat, as it is very interested in this site. Too bad I can't vote in favor of your vote there. Pérola Maniaco (talk) 20:29, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
