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.

Admins mailing list

Just a one-time "advertisement": The metawiki-admins mailing list is open to all Meta admins. As list admin, I just noticed that only about half of the current admins are subscribed, so I wanted to point out that this option exists. Don't worry, I do not plan for any further spamming about it! --MF-W 16:12, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

@MF-Warburg: subscription requested, confirming identity. TenWhile6 21:56, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Close possibly invalid RfC here

This should be moved to Steward Requests instead of posting an RfC. --Least Action (talk) 01:03, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Edit filter no. 161

Could the inclusion of CSD templates with TwinkleGlobal be exempted in it? JayCubby (talk) 06:11, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

No, because that would significantly weaken the filter and could be exploited by the most dedicated LTAs. Just follow the instructions to tag the user talk page instead, and an administrator will delete it. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 20:35, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
