Talk:Steward requests/Requests for reopening wikis

This is the talk page of Requests for adoption. If you'd like to adopt a wiki, please go to the normal page and not create the new topic in this talk page. This page is sometimes used for discussion of the process of adopting wikis, not requests to adopt wikis.

Hey mirahezians,
It seems the "request for adoption" button isn't working--it won't allow me to edit the page.

Hi there mirahezians,

I can't really seem to get the request for adoption button working and instead get redirected towards the source of the page (See Picture).

Thanks y'all

Can you adopt a wiki that's not closed?

I want to adopt the Terrible Niche Audience Shows Wiki so I can make some adjustments. Things like the video and comments don't work because the settings aren't enabled. SpongeBobFan99 (talk) 23:13, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

SpongeBobFan99 No, unfortunately, only closed wikis can be adopted. You can, however, request a Steward to perform certain (usually minor) changes if there are no active bureaucrats. Generally, though, what you can do is instead hold a local election, following these guidelines, and request a Steward assess your election when your election concludes (usually after a week or so). Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Currently appears to be impossible to request reopening

Hi all,

It appears that requesting the reopening of a wiki is currently impossible. The page, having been moved on 30 March, is edit-protected, which conflicts with the method by which reopening requests are appended to the page.

I may be misinterpreting this; it may simply be an issue of permissions - a new account like mine might not be authorised to make such requests. If so, what conditions must be met to allow for this? EvilScientist3 (talk) 21:34, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

@EvilScientist3: Current protection levels are set to autoconfirmed. I have added you as a confirmed user to mitigate that, and you should be able to request now. BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 21:46, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
