Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat

Shortcut:
WM:RFH
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.

Help for Unblock

edit

My account user blocked because of cross-wiki abuse/sockpuppetry. I had no another account on Wikipedia I'm Farsi wiki editor and My user globally locked and blocked with no previous notice. I explained a lot everywhere and now I would mention that I have a brother and he was fan of Farsad (rapper) and sometimes he vote in AFD and make some edition in Farsi Wikipedia and we mostly use same PC. And explained to that moderator who blocked me but he didn't pay attention! And other 2 account only made for submit massage in order to get help to other moderator; I didn't any mistake anytime and if I did unwanted I apologize. And I submitted ticket bud they answer me wrong! I apologize for all the things that happened and I guarantee to never happen again! I only opened 2 other accounts right after my main account banned, for put massage in order to get help so it seems it's out of rules and I didn't know that. By the way I apologize. Acc I used to work as musician and insurance industry , And I have huge knowledge on them, specially in Farsi wiki, if dear moderators accept my apology then I promise that I can help and put impressive move on many articles in these fields, Thanks for the corporation 2A02:4540:66:15D:1:0:DDE9:64F0 19:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

(Non admin comment)MetaWiki administrators have nothing to do with global lock appeals, as far as I know. They should instead be forwarded to stewards. ToadetteEdit (talk) 20:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Contact stewards via stewards-appeals@wikimedia.org. This is the wrong page, local admins can't help you. --TenWhile6 21:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposal to apply some of my suggestions to some abuse filters

edit

There are two cases of some identical abuse filters, some of which I would like to propose my suggestions for them:

  • The spambot filters are identical, but filter 104 should also disallow spambot accounts to allow anti-vandalism patrollers to report them more easily, and 164 should either be disabled or even deleted (what's the added benefit of using a private filter to only disallow registered spambots?):
  • Special:AbuseFilter/104
  • Special:AbuseFilter/164

Also, for 104 we should opt-out Meta itself using wiki_name != "metawiki" because private filter 121 blocks the spambots locally. Thank you. Codename Noreste (talk) 00:18, 23 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
