    Requests for reopening wikis
    You may request a closed wiki be reopened (if you are not a bureaucrat) if it was closed due to inactivity.

    Pictogram voting info.svg Note: If a wiki was manually closed, any reopening must be discussed with the local administrators or raised on the Stewards' noticeboard. We cannot help you here.

    If you would additionally like advanced rights (administrator and/or bureaucrat), please start a local election instead.

    If you are already a bureaucrat on the wiki, go to Special:ManageWiki/core (on your wiki) and uncheck the "closed" box to reopen your wiki. Wikis that are set to private cannot be adopted due to privacy reasons! You must be a registered user to request a reopening.

    For other global issues, use the Stewards' noticeboard.

    • Username: ZeroxZero (userrights)
    • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No
    • Reason: This was an abandoned wiki about the video game company SNK, the company behind games like Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters. I've been a fan of their games for years, and unfortunately the founder was inactive, and this wiki was closed. Thus, I'd like to reopen and expand upon it to keep this wiki active again. I would prefer to start with it being private to give me time to set up its basic framework and carry everything over from my own SNK Corp wiki. Thanks.

    我是中文政治罗盘球wiki的管理团队成员。这里需要声明的是，我们近期并不准备重新开放该wiki。因为近期在bilibili等视频网站已出现违规使用本wiki内容的视频，恐怕已引起中国大陆当局的网络警察的注意。且已有管理团队成员接到疑似中国大陆警察的警告短信，我们认为一些用户的人身自由无法得到保障的风险正在上升，故经过再三讨论后，管理团队最终决定关闭此wiki。 Great Polska space agency (talk) 00:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    Status:  Cannot be undertaken
    • Username: Crw (userrights)
    • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No I am not.
    • Reason: I am giving the excuse to reopen Terrible Shows Wiki because I wanted to get a chance to give it more expansion and more reasoning as to why certain TV shows, web shows, commercials, YouTube videos, TV movies, and episodes come off as flawed, poor, and terrible.
    Crw (talk) 14:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The wiki in question was closed and deleted along with other Qualitipedia wikis after a community vote; it can't be undeleted anyway as its database no longer exists, and it cannot be recreated per the ban on new reception wikis. I'd suggest contributing to New Qualitipedia instead. Tali64³ (talk | contributions) 14:47, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I actually did like Terrible TV Shows Wiki and the other Qualitipedia wikis. It's too bad i can't actually look up the entire wiki on the archive. Crw (talk) 16:03, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    TeologKatolicki (talk) 17:11, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The wiki in question appears to be soft-deleted; this means that it returns a 404 error when visited, but the database still exists. Therefore, it should be possible to undelete. Tali64³ (talk | contributions) 14:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Please, can you reopen it? TeologKatolicki (talk) 07:06, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    I asked him, but he didn't ansered me. TeologKatolicki (talk) 12:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    It may take some time for him to respond, as he's quite literally the only person holding Miraheze together currently. Tali64³ (talk | contributions) 15:56, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I'm afraid that the pages will disappear from the server. Is it possible? TeologKatolicki (talk) 11:43, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    If the issue that's preventing deleted wikis from being dropped is fixed before your wiki's undeleted, it could be possible; however, I don't think that's likely given the lack of tech volunteers. Tali64³ (talk | contributions) 12:13, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): No(?) I created the Wiki, but inactivity closed it, not directly.
    • Reason: I've meant to come back and revisit the Wiki at some point, but life got away from me; mainly a combination of work and overall lack of energy to keep focus on hobbies such as this. I also plan to archive as much of this wiki as I can in the event that I end up stepping away for another prolonged period of time and cannot reactivate it in the future.

    This request cannot be completed because 1) the wiki in question was not hosted by Miraheze (though the Miraheze revival was created by a former user of the wiki) and 2) there is no process for ShoutWiki wikis to be undeleted once they've been deleted, so it most likely cannot be restored.

    • Username: Foxmot (userrights)
    • Are you a bureaucrat? (yes/no): no
    • Reason: Paleo Pines released yesterday and the community lacks a wiki to contribute to and use as a resource.(Apart from a .fandom wiki which is inadequate) While this wiki was closed due to inactivity, the game was not released at the time, therefore the lack of activity was not representative of a lack of interest, just representative of lack of access to the subject. There was a demo a while ago, but nothing new was released until now. Now it has been fully released, the situation has changed. Please consider reopening it so that as players play the new game, they can add information to the wiki. The opening weeks of the game release are most important for building a wiki since community interest is highest at this time.
