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.

Patroller for ShuQizhe

[edit]

Global user: ShuQizhe (talkcontribsUser rightsglobal contributionsCentralAuthblock log)

Reason for request: Hi, I'm a rollbacker on zhwiki. I sometimes browse newly created pages and check for potential issues. I also occasionally revert edits that are clearly problematic. I would like to use rollback privileges together with some gadgets I have installed (such as Selective Rollback) to better assist with anti-vandalism work.
I would like to take obtaining rollback capability on Meta-Wiki as a new step in my cross-wiki anti-vandalism efforts. Therefore, I am hereby requesting the patroller permission.

The number of undos is not significant, and many of them involve reverting your own edits. Plus, there has been only one deletion request. At this time, the need for patroller permissions does not appear to be demonstrated. Please consider reapplying later. Best, 𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷기나ㅏㄴ(T/C) 07:20, 19 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Error on the page Steward requests/Username changes/2026-01

[edit]

The bot archived a request (at the bottom) that hadn't been evaluated yet due to a typo on the "Username changes" page. Could you please add the request back to the page? Thanks! --Janabaevazizbek (talk) 07:45, 19 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
