Hi there! Thanks for trying to re-adopt a wiki. However, please note that once a request goes into the completed requests category, that request is, finished and it should not be simply re-opened — as stated both at the other requests page and our guidelines. You need to open a brand new request called Whatever Wiki Name (2).

So I have removed your previous comments and returned the previous request to the completed pile.

Asking you to start a new request isn't busy work or "being mean". Rather, it's an attempt at fairness. Because requests are ordered by the date they're started, and generally answered in that same order, re-using an old request would most likely move you to the front of the queue. It's just not fair to the people who filed this week that you've re-opened a request started back in February.

Also, if multiple requests are necessary to gain additional rights on a wiki, it makes it easier for others to see progression if there are separate, numbered requests. They can then see if the things Staff asked you to address in in the initial request are addressed by Request (2) or (3).

So please submit a new request and we'll process it soon! Hope you have a great weekend!
