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:נריה

נריה (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) Reasons: Edit warring. The user called me three times "troll" in an RFC. I hide the word "troll" because only The Hebrew Wikipedia bureaucrat is authorised to declare a He WP user as a troll. נריה is also a sockpupet of Neriah, and uses נריה for doing actions which Neriah avoids. Please see the signatures here. Please undo these three reversions: 1, 2, 3. נריה continued to call me "troll" also today at 21:10. Please hide the words "troll" also here. Thank you, _Louvre|Talk 21:45, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Nicolastkl

Nicolastkl (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) — Reasons: Creating improper pages after warning. XReport --aqurs ❄️ 12:02, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

M7 deleted the page Feminism in South Africa and warned them on their talk page. M7 also deleted the second creation but didn't block the user. I'll warn the user again, that should be enough for now. Feel free to re-report if needed. TenWhile6 12:08, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
