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.

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)
