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}}
}}
