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.

Special:RecentChanges header

Anyone else having display issues with the header on Special:RecentChanges? Before I go checking lots of personal / browser settings. Seems like the styling isn't loading for me, though it is at Template:Recentchangestext. Thanks! — xaosflux ^Talk 19:38, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Note, this I do have the 'Use non-JavaScript interface' preference set. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:42, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I have the same issue. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 20:39, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I've double checked the Template and all the included ones. Nothing has been recently modified and everything is properly protected. On other Wikies this doesn't happen (checked it.wiki, simple.wiki and en.wiki). Purged cache both on browser, on Template and on relevant css. Tried to change interface skin and language. Removed own custom javascript addon. Gave up. --M/ (talk) 20:41, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I also have the same issue (Vector 2010); I go and check incognito mode to see if Vector 2022 is also affected and that too is affected. I'm not sure what could be behind this issue. --SHB2000 (t • c) 01:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

IMHO Template:Recentchangestext/styles.css doesn't work with interface messages. Regression? --Melos (talk) 10:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks to Melos. --M/ (talk) 11:40, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
