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.

I'm chair of the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group Steering Committee and I want to send our 380+ members. --Windblown29 (talk) 15:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Request for page protectionEdit
Hi!
I would like to request that all of the pages in this category be protected to allow edits only by registered users. Thank you! MNadzikiewicz (WMF) (talk)
- I don't see any vandalism on any of them. --MF-W 11:31, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @MF-Warburg, we would like to have them protected just in case. Given that they are devoted to the Board of Trustees elections, no content from non-registered users is expected. MNadzikiewicz (WMF) (talk) 12:14, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Those are not valid reasons - according to Semi-protection, semi-protection is neither "to prohibit anonymous editing in general" nor "for preemptive protection of articles that might get vandalized". --MF-W 13:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @MF-Warburg, please see this page. MNadzikiewicz (WMF) (talk) 06:34, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Done Semiprotected that one (for a month). Martin Urbanec (talk) 06:36, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

- Just 1 edit, I will think we just leave it alone. Anyway too stale to block a single IPV6, they most likely moved on. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:46, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Update Interwiki sorting orderEdit
Hi, all. Please add the interwiki 'kcg' for the newly created wiki kcgwiki to the following pages:
