Wiki deletions

Welcome to wiki (un)deletion requests! Use this page to request the deletion or undeletion of wikis.

This page can be used to request that Stewards undelete a wiki if it was deleted for inactivity (not if it's 'closed' [i.e. uneditable but still online], in which case you must use requests for reopening wikis).

If you wish to have a wiki with multiple active contributors deleted, you must hold a local discussion beforehand, and consensus must be in favor of the wiki closing. If your wiki is a small/personal one where you are the sole contributor, no discussion is needed.

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:

== Name of wiki ==
{{SN wiki request
|status = <!-- do not remove this! -->
|request = deletion or undeletion 
|wiki    = <!-- subdomain of wiki, such as meta, test, polandball, etc. - don't include .wikioasis.org -->
|reason =  <!-- reason --> ~~~~ <!-- leave ~~~~ in place and keep it at the end of your request reason, like "I want it undeleted ~~~~"! it adds your MediaWiki signature automatically so that we can easily know who submitted the request -->
|discussion = <!-- link to discussion, if any (don't fill this field out if not applicable) -->
}}

Wiki reports

Welcome to wiki reports! Use this page to report wikis violating Content Policy or other global rules.

You can use this page to report wikis that are in violation of our global policies, such as the Content Policy. When reporting a wiki, please make sure to describe the violations, link to infringing pages, and any other supporting content to help determine the issue. If the matter is sensitive, please send your report via email to [email protected].

How to Make a Report

Please leave your report at the end of the page, following the format below:

== Wiki Name or URL ==
* Describe the violation here, including links to infringing pages and any relevant details ~~~~ <!-- Leave ~~~~ for your MediaWiki signature -->

Discussion closure

Welcome to discussion closure requests! Request a Steward to close complex or unresolved local discussions.

This page can be used to request a Steward to close a local discussion. This may include local elections on wikis without bureaucrats, discussions on wikis where local bureaucrats also voted, thus needing a third party to close, and discussions where the bureaucrat is inactive or unwilling to close a discussion, etc. Please try to resolve the discussion through local bureaucrats before proceeding here, however.

How to Make a Request

Please leave your report at the end of the page, following the format below:

== Discussion Title ==
* Provide a brief summary of the discussion, including why closure is requested ~~~~ <!-- Leave ~~~~ for your MediaWiki signature -->

Reopening wikis

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#Wiki 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}}
}}
