Hi, I know this sounds rather stupid, but is it allowed for a user to adopt a Wiki in a language they aren’t fluent in? Assuming that every other requirement is met, consistent editing (perhaps in category structures or Interlang Links), and the rest, would adoption be allowed? I’m interested in Adopting such Wikis for four reasons: With those intentions in mind, would I be allowed to adopt Wikis in languages I don’t speak so long as I met all other requirements? 
 * Some Wikis don’t have active Admins & I want to set up a Mobile Main Page for said Wikis so that they can hope to qualify for a Community App. I’ve done it before on languages I don’t know & can do it again, since I know the actual content the Wiki covers.
 * As an admin I could make decisions for that Wiki, such as to enable Discussions & bring said Wikis that into a Community App if one was established (the Inheriwiki almost has enough views per week but needs more, in the form of Interlanguage Wikis, in order to qualify for an Interlanguage App that it couldn’t acquire alone).
 * Occasionally when I’ve banned an vandal from an English Wiki, they would leave for one of the abandoned Interlang Wikis & begin destroying content there where I was powerless to stop them, after which they’d taunt me until I got VSTF to take care of it. Most of these Wikis have admins of their own, but there’s a few whose admins are inactive that could use oversight.
 * Despite not knowing the language & only being able to offer minimal assistance in content pages, I could write CSS to make the theme appealing, enable certain WikiFeatures to help initiate editors more easily engage (comments, Message Wall, etc), & I could appoint helpful users to admin/bureaucrat who know the language, if they arrived.
