Wikia staff have a system for keeping track of what "stage" an adoption request is at:
 * Category:Adoption requests -- for brand new requests that haven't been reviewed yet
 * Category:On hold requests -- for requests that have been reviewed by a staff member but are "on hold" and need to be checked again later
 * Category:Completed requests -- for requests that are 100% processed by a staff member and will not be checked again

This system is used by the staff who review the adoption requests. Please don't change the category of your adoption request, as that may confuse them. Wikia staff will put your adoption request in the appropriate category when they review your request.

(For example, if you put your request in the "Completed requests" category then staff won't look at it because it appears marked as complete, which tells them it's already been reviewed.)
