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:

Report concerning User:212.154.4.24

212.154.4.24 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) — Reasons: Hi, this IP address was blocked on the enwiki as a result of being used by the cross-wiki LTA known as AudiGuy-1204. Today it has come out to post blatant trolling messages on my Meta talk page (diff) as well as on some random other user's (diff). So can we block it locally to stop him from doing that? I reckon no talk page access shall be included in the block as well, given this user's tendency to abuse TPA on enwiki. Thanks! AP 499D25 (talk) 13:49, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
