It's not really a site request as site requests aren't for general content type editing (unless it was a closed wiki, I guess)...

Need to find someone who has access to the wiki to be able to make changes...

The main page linking to https://advisors.wikimedia.org/wiki/Advisors:Community_portal definitely isn't helpful either

A quick look suggests numerous T&S people have access, so probably a good starting point for this request

I asked around about this and it sounds like this wiki is no longer in use by T&S. Probably the next step is to request its closure though I don't know for sure what the plans are.

For the records, this was initially created in (non-public) T189181

According to T189181 (the wiki creation task) the purpose is supposed to not be clear, not sure if that is still the case.

I do not know that task, but it does not make much sense for me to create a wiki without really knowing what the purpose of this wiki should be.

I do not know that task, but it does not make much sense for me to create a wiki without really knowing what the purpose of this wiki should be.

The task is simply the task for creating the wiki. Let me be more precise: It was said there that it is deliberately not publicly(!) clear what the purpose is and the URL was also chosen to be correspondingly vague. A purpose is mentioned there (but I don't want to just leak it here without knowing any background).

Probably the next step is to request its closure though I don't know for sure what the plans are.

That probably makes way more sense. Is there any way to check if there have been logins into that wiki in the last years?
