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.

Event organizer for User:Mel61226

Global user: Mel61226 (talk • contribs • global contributions • CentralAuth • block log) Reason for request: Je suis organisateur d'événements au Gabon, nous aimerions utiliser cet outil pour les prochains événements à organiser. WPWP, Wiki Loves Monuments

Criteria met: * No active blocks: Aucun

Global edits: 178

Additional Criteria: Aucun Mel61226 (talk) 19:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Question: , since our policy requires at least 500 edits, in order to ensure you have some editing skills on projects, could you add something about that? May be you have edited under another username? Thanks, --M/ (talk) 08:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Mel61226? AramilFeraxa (Talk) 09:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

per Meta:Event organizers it's 300 edits (which are almost fulfilled) and that's just one of multiple optional requirements (they just need to meet one of those). This request appears to meet the criterion "plan to organize a Wikimedia event"? --Johannnes89 (talk) 12:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Remove TA for User:Selsharbaty (WMF)

Could a crat remove translation administrator rights from the above mentioned account? Account is locked, user no longer works for WMF. EPIC (talk) 16:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

This file was deleted with the reason I3: file available on Wikimedia Commons. However, it doesn't seem to be available on Commons, nor it seems it has been deleted from Commons. Could this file be undeleted? Janhrach (talk) 07:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

The file name in the Commons is File:WPLogo alt 27-Nov-2001.png. You can use this file with this file name. Syunsyunminmin 🗨️talk 07:34, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Interwiki map update

Could an admin please handle the requests at Talk:Interwiki map? I've done most of them but the rest are things proposed by me which means I shouldn't implement them per my reading of Meta:Administrators#Involved administrators. Thanks. Note the process for handling these has recently changed - edits are now made to a JSON page at interwiki map/list. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 18:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

I think I've done most of it. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 21:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
