We request that users edit for at least a week as that shows that they have sustained interest in the subject and not one that is fleeting. We don't want to grant adoption to a user that edits for a few days then disappear only to leave the wiki in the same state... no active bureaucrats/admins.

If it's a subject you are passionate about, you will be editing regardless so that 1 week request by us will be a moot point. We typically only place a request in On hold if a wiki does not have active editors and the requester has under a week's worth of editing. Otherwise, it usually ends in a "please start a blog post on the wiki to discuss appointing a bureaucrat" which doesn't typically get done.

If you're requesting an adoption on a wiki, the best thing to do is what you would normally do. Edit the wiki and add content...

I hope this answers the thoughts above. If not, feel free to ask.
