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.

Deletion request

Hi,

I'd like to get those pages deleted:

1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Foundation_Chief_Executive_Officer/sr
2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Messages_from_the_Wikimedia_Foundation_Chief_Executive_Officer/sr
3. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Public_outreach/sr
4. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_development/sr

They're outdated, nearly untranslated, it's better for them to be deleted at this moment.

Thank you so much! Kizule (talk) 15:43, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Categories should not be deleted if they have content in them. (If you do, FuzzyBot will recreate the page as 0% translated). * Pppery * _{it has begun} 16:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much for letting me know. I was actually able to take care about them now in this case, therefore, this section is resolved, and there are no actions required. Kizule (talk) 16:16, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Please delete https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Amical_Wikimedia/sr. Reason is that it's full of outdated and machine translations, there won't be time in the near future for fixing it. Kizule (talk) 16:21, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

I actually have a whole batch. It would be nice if some could reach out to me via IRC or email. The easiest thing would be if I could get an administrator right temporarly (for an hour), but I'm fine and without it. Kizule (talk) 16:36, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
