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.

XTools-AutoEdits.json request

I request sysops and anyone interested to join MediaWiki_talk:XTools-AutoEdits.json#Update_Genereric_rollback_and_RedWarn. Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm confused here: what do sysops have to do with the proposal? --SHB2000 (t • c) 12:38, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@SHB2000 Sysops can accept the request and implement it in the MediaWiki: namespace json page. This may/may not need discussion and support from other users. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Ah, right – thanks for explaining. --SHB2000 (t • c) 20:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

each time l tried to log in, the embarrassing k regularly meet made me to request for replacement of my e-mail and retainment of my emails contents. Thanks 105.113.61.71 02:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking.

• If you forgot your password, you may reset it using Special:PasswordReset.
• If you can't recover your password, just create a new account.
• If you can log on and want your username changed, fill out the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest.
