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. Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages: Requests for (translation/central notice/interface) adminship on this Meta-Wiki Requests for CheckUser information on this Meta-Wiki Requests for oversight of edits on this Meta-Wiki General requests for permissions on other wikis Requests for CentralNotice banners and campaigns Import is currently enabled in this wiki from some projects. From other wikis, you will need to copy and paste your materials by hand but please remember to add a link, as a permanent link, and the history of the page being imported in the edit summary to avoid copyright violations.

Deletions for "Translations Page Display Title" and CNBanner Pages

(This is more of an informational note rather than a specific request)

I noticed that "Translations Page display title" and CNBanner pages tagged with {{delete}} do not appear in the Category:Deleteme category. CNBanner:WMDE Wikidata 10-WMDE wikidata 10 button event text/kk has been tagged with {{delete}} for more than a year without getting deleted. I suggest admins also checking the following pages while handling deletion requests:

• Pages tagged with deletion templates in Translations namespace
• Pages tagged with deletion templates in CNBanner namespace

I also added a note on Category:Deleteme. Please feel free to refine the wording or propose better approaches as needed. 94rain ^Talk 23:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Done, I intentionally don't close this section, for other admins to notice or further interact with this deletion tagging issues. --M/ (talk) 09:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

IP suggests I should commit suicide

Hello there, I'd be very pleased if you could ban the IP that suggested I should commit suicide here: [1] (talk) 19:53, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I have blocked the range 2409:4081:8000:0:0:0:0:0/35 for one month as this user is regularly getting reverted.. To my fellow admins, I expect an unblock request, and prior to that happening we are going to need a culture change. Some of the commentary by the user in the IP address identifies that they often react prior to appropriate thinking, so we need some sort of cool-off and ability for that user to do things differently.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:38, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
