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.

Remove permissions from User:Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

Hi, please remove translation admin and mass message permissions from User:Thereza Mengs (WMDE), as she's no longer working at WMDE. MM will expire anyway, but TA won't, so I think it's best to just remove both at once. Thanks! Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 12:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Done for MMS, a crat will have to do the TA bit. EPIC (talk) 12:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Remove TA from User:DNdubane (WMF)

Could a crat remove translation adminship from the above linked account - locked and no longer works for WMF - thanks. EPIC (talk) 20:54, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
