Steward requests/Reopening wikis

From WikiOasis Meta
Welcome to wiki reopening requests!
Request a wiki be reopened if it was closed for inactivity or by a bureaucrat.

You may request a closed wiki be reopened (if you are not a bureaucrat) if it was closed due to inactivity or closed manually by a bureaucrat. Please consider the below for what this page cannot support.

  • If the wiki has been deleted: this page should be skipped in favor of making an entry on the Steward requests/Deletions area.
  • If the wiki has been closed manually: any reopening must be discussed with the local administrators or raised here, making the fact that it was closed manually known.
  • If you are already a bureaucrat: Visit Special:ManageWiki on your own wiki and uncheck closed. You will be set from there.
  • If you would like to adopt a wiki including administrator & bureaucrat rights: Please review adoption and make this intent known in your request. For wikis that are not automatically closed, please start a local election.
  • Wikis that are set to private cannot be adopted due to privacy! You must be a registered user to request a reopening.

How to Make a Request

To make a request, copy the following code and place it at the very bottom of this page. Replace every section as needed:

{{subst::Requests_for_reopening_wikis/boilerplate
|wiki = SUBDOMAIN_HERE <!--Replace this with the subdomain of the wiki. Do not include the ".wikioasis.org" part-->
|bureaucrat = <!-- Are you a bureaucrat on the wiki (usually also the 'founder' of the wiki)? IF THE ANSWER IS YES, DO NOT CONTINUE WITH THIS REQUEST! INSTEAD GO TO Special:ManageWiki ON YOUR WIKI AND UNCHECK THE "Closed" BOX -->
|reason =
<!-- Leave everything below as it is -->
|user = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}}
}}
