This page is to request actions on a wiki without active administrators, to be performed by stewards or global sysops. Other than obvious speedy deletions, all requests should obtain consensus from the wiki community before being requested here and a link should be provided to that consensus. Such requests include deletions, big deletions, edit on protected pages, renaming of protected pages, etc.

To add a listing in a language that isn't already here, create a new section header:

Bot-reported speedy deletion requests [edit]

This section is for reports filed via Kimberley-nia Bot on the SWMT's IRC channel #cvn-sw (bot's irc nick is Dellieplagiat). They are submitted on this subpage. Please watch this page separately if you are a steward, a global sysop, or a local administrator.

It is possible to manually edit this list if you follow the bot's formatting. If you feel a request is inappropriate, please remove the lines containing that request entirely. (Leaving comments, modifying the header line, and striking out reports will confuse the bot.)

Example for the correct formatting:

* {{msd-link|ie.wikipedia|Talk:Europa}}
*: spam - IRC user DerHexer ~~~~~

Properly-filed requests that point to pages that have already been deleted or do not exist will be automatically removed by the bot. Note: It is unnecessary to remove requests for wikis where local admins "can handle it by themselves". If that is really so, the pages will surely be deleted within a small period of time and then be automatically removed from the list by the bot.

Manual requests [edit]

Please see tools:~erwin85/delete.php for a list of pages tagged with {{Delete}} and/or the local equivalent.

Requests for a single wiki [edit]

25 files without (right) licence on avwiki, 10 on lbewiki and 30 on ltgwiki [edit]

Status:    In progress

25 files are in av:Категория:Candidates for speedy deletion since 17 May 2012, all of them because of “dubious/wrong/no license” but the wiki has 0 sysops. --Geitost diskusjon 12:19, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I put a notice on the talk page of User:Seb az86556 who set the templates (sysop on nvwiki). --Geitost diskusjon 12:38, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

10 files are in lbe:Категория:Speedy deletion requests since 17 May, same as above, also 0 sysops. --Geitost diskusjon 13:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

And 29 files are in ltg:Kategoreja:Candidates for speedy deletion since 17 May, same as above, also 0 sysops. In addition one file there has been tagged with the delete template because of spam on 26 May, the link goes to a not existing user and there’s no permission. Can IP users upload files on small wikis? --Geitost diskusjon 13:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Yikes, this has gone unanswered for a while. I'll start going through them - unfortunately, nobody removed the links to those files, so I'll need to stop being lazy and do it myself. IPs cannot upload files, so not sure what caused that. Ajraddatz (Talk) 12:05, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
These suspected copyvios are still sitting here... This, that and the other (talk) 02:19, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
I had a quick look at those images at avWP, and most look to be fair use, just insufficiently tagged. I would think that initially it would be more useful to contact the community and to assist them to get their images compliant, and to lift the quality of their copyright tagging. Seems a more efficient use of effort. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:34, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Lost history [edit]

Status:    In progress

Hi.

The page //fr.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=d%C3%A9sembl%C3%A9matiser&action=history seems to have been created 15 mars 2010 à 22:04‎ Lmaltier

But it was created before : //fr.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Sp%C3%A9cial:Journal&page=d%C3%A9sembl%C3%A9matiser

But where are the previous versions ? I can't find them.

Thanks for your help. --ArséniureDeGallium (talk) 04:07, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

If you start to delete the file, then you will see that there are deleted components, the whole history was not retrieved. There are a number of pages around that discuss this matter, some explanation at b:en:MediaWiki Administrator's Handbook/Edit History — billinghurst sDrewth 07:34, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
OK, thanks. I tried that. But it didn't work : oldest version is still missing. The log says a version has been deleted on 15 mars 2010 à 20:19, but this version doesn't exist when you try to resrore it. --ArséniureDeGallium (talk) 22:07, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I see what you after and I think that you may have missed components in the log. If you look at the deletion log for désemblématiser you will see that the page was recovered and moved to fr:wikt:désemblématisé 21:43, 15 March 2010 Chrisaix (Talk | contribs | block) moved page désemblématiser to désemblématisé without leaving a redirect (c'est un adjectif, pas un verbe) and the history that you are looking for is there. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:11, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Chechen Wikipedia [edit]

Status:    In progress

Please, delete all pages, files and categories from this category. Thanks, Saint Johann (ru) 20:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

There are actually 3 sysops active now. You might ask them to delete those pages. --Frigotoni ...i'm here; 21:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
This pages added by one of sysops, Sasan700. And I'm not sure that this sysops really delete this pages, see another request. Saint Johann (ru) 21:06, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Could you read this thread, please?--Soul Train (talk) 21:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I was privy to it. In my opinion, first, the problem should rotate around the sysop at issue in order to understand such actions, and, once solved the matter, those pages could be deleted. Regardless, it's preferable a steward to perform this operation, and Quentinv57 and others, are already working on it. --Frigotoni ...i'm here; 21:22, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Sasan700 reverted all templates without reason. If you want to delete, see this category (all at letter "С"). Saint Johann (ru) 07:27, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Requests for mwl.wikipedia [edit]

Status:    In progress

Please delete mwl:Trasporte de traçon animal. Senseless content. Garsd (talk) 09:10, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done, thanks QuiteUnusual TalkQu 09:33, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I would like to ask once more if someone could take a look at mwl:Biquipédia:Pedidos als admenistradores where there is a heap of deleting work to do. mwl.wikipedia has 2 administrators: mwl:User:Manuel de Sousa (who some time ago did something in that page, but he mostly is absent) and mwl:User:Alchimista (who decidedly does not take care of any requests for administrator attention). All requests in portuguese (a few in mirandese). Thank you in advance. Garsd (talk) 19:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

I did 1... Why don't you run for adminship there? πr2 (t • c) 19:13, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

There's no chance of me becoming an administrator there. The community is reduced to me (working there everyday) and 2 others (seldom seen there but always ready to say no) who think I'm dangerous. One of them in one occasion even said he is scared. The other confessed in another occasion they both have some plan regarding mwl.wikipedia they're carrying in facebook, and that my work in mwl.wikipedia is affecting their plan. They're both administrators (mwl:User:Alchimista, mwl:User:Manuel de Sousa), so they have the monopoly over page deletion. Well, they don't delete. Alchimista as a question of principle never deletes. Manuel deletes something, rarely, but he seems to forget to delete what he has previously agreed to delete through discussion. So, since in mwl.wikipedia rules "neither won't do nor won't let do", someone from outside is needed. The deletion is as follows:

Thank you in advance. Garsd (talk) 08:33, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

This pages are been evaluated locally. If it takes time to delete or non delete is just because there is a high amount of pages for delection, and it's not easy to attend all the requests on time, when many of them are válid. Biuola, for example, i've pointed locally that it's a valid one, it even is on a dictionary that Garsd pointed localy. So unless is something urgent, we can take care of this requests locally. Alchimista (talk) 11:10, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
mwl:Cronologie de l çdobramientos de ls scándalo de l sanguessugas, mwl:Yamaha XJ 550R Seca, mwl:10 de Julio, mwl:Festibal Ourobison de la Cançon 2013, mwl:Sicosis por windigo, mwl:Festibal Ourobison de la Cançon 2012, mwl:Aneixo:Lhista de persidentes de La Eigreija de Jasus Cristo de ls Santos de ls Redadeiros Dies have already been evaluated in mwl:WP:BF and they're still waiting. What local evaluation they still need, since everybody in the discussion agreed to delete them? Unless someone would like to reopen the discussion. Does someone want to? Does someone wish to reopen the discussion about deleting thoses pages today, tomorrow, the next day? Or are they to stay in limbo for an undefined time? As for the other pages, time is the mother of all certainty. We'll see what time brings and then we'll see what your words are worth, Alchimista. So let's evaluate them locally, let's discuss. There's nothing more I wish so much as to discuss. But discussions don't last endlessly. If you don't counterargue in 2 weeks (14 days) time I'll close any discussion, and don't pop up 60 seconds after closing saying I can't close. That's a fine disruptive tactic you've been using in mwl.wikipedia for the last months. You won't get with that no longer. Either you speak, or you abide by the consensus. Garsd (talk) 12:14, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
You're adding big amounts of pages for delection, with long justifications, and closed by yourself. That takes time to process and analyse each one fo them. And honestly, i see no interest on having this discussion here, nor using an inflated speach. Lets discuss it locally and peacefull, ok? Alchimista (talk) 13:38, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Requests for ltg.wikipedia [edit]

Status:    In progress

In category ltg:Kategoreja:Candidates for speedy deletion there are 2 spam artcles, 1 non-wikipedia style article and many files without an license. Could someone please delete them?--DJ EV (talk) 09:06, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm hesitant to delete the dictionary pages, like ltg:Lītaunīku_-_latgaļu_vuordineica_/_Lietuvių_-_latgalių_kalbų_žodynas. They could actually be useful. Maybe I'll move them to the incubator. πr2 (t • c) 14:08, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Ok. I had the same idea. DJ EV (talk) 07:45, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
They are not really dictionary pages. They are just help pages and should be moved either to Help or Wikipedia namespace. Ruslik (talk) 19:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Yes check.svg Moved those to Project namespace. πr2 (t • c) 18:11, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


"Change to section edit links" on sv.wikisource [edit]

Status:    In progress

This so called "improvment" has introduced editsection-links in ns-104 on sv.wikisource. They where turned of until now. How do we revert this in this specific namespace again! And yes, we have our own sysops on the projects, but editwars with developers is a hopeless task, even for a sysop. -- Lavallen 09:58, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I do not know if a JS/CSS would solve it, but I'd fill a bugzilla ticket to disable those links in that namespace if at all possible. Others may have a better solution. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:22, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
I would have thought that you could have done something universal with __NOEDITSECTION__ to apply to a namespace. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
better solution, in MediaWiki:common.css try the text .ns-104 .editsection {visibility: hidden;}, it is how we have been managing it at enWS for a while. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:55, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
though that is probably .ns-104 .editsection .mw-editsection {visibility: hidden;} following the change. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:57, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

.ns-104 .mw-editsection { display: none; } is the proper way that will work. Matma Rex (talk) 16:30, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Actually, I see you've already dealt with it[1]. Matma Rex (talk) 16:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
