Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat (at Meta-Wiki only)

Archives (current)→

Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

• Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages:
  • Requests for (translation/central notice/interface) adminship on this Meta-Wiki
  • Requests for CheckUser information on this Meta-Wiki
  • Requests for oversight of edits on this Meta-Wiki
  • General requests for permissions on other wikis
  • Requests for CentralNotice banners and campaigns
• Import is currently enabled in this wiki from some projects. From other wikis, you will need to copy and paste your materials by hand but please remember to add a link, as a permanent link, and the history of the page being imported in the edit summary to avoid copyright violations.

Forum post disallowed

I try to make an edit at User talk:Bodhisattwa but spam filters rejected me.

Please verify that my edit was good and insert that edit. I will also be grateful if some administrator in good standing takes a screenshot of the social-media-post provided in my post for posterity. 2405:201:8011:9828:F101:876D:2E8B:E6AF 19:42, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Please just omit the link to facebook, and you should be right to add your text  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

That link is THE evidence. 2405:201:8011:9828:F101:876D:2E8B:E6AF 06:49, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Billinghurst I am facing the same issue, again. See the latest edit at the same talk-page which was blocked; it has no link. 2405:201:8011:9828:F101:876D:2E8B:E6AF 14:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Move request

See Wikimedia_Forum#Brand

Brand/logo --> Brand/Logo

Brand/colours --> Brand/Colours

The moving needs translationadmin right. Apple_TD (talk) 13:57, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

And please move Wikimedia Community User Group Linguila/tools --> WikiLinguila/tools. Thanks. Apple_TD (talk) 14:05, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Done the third one. I'm not willing to move the first two without agreement from the Wikimedia Foundation brand team that they should be moved, and they both consist of more than 500 pages so require a sysadmin anyway (You are welcome to file a task on Phabricator if you dare) * Pppery * _{it has begun} 15:23, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

I understand. Thank you. Apple_TD (talk) 15:32, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
