Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat

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. Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages: Requests for 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 campaings 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 to the permanent link and the history of the page being imported in the edit summary to avoid copyright violations.

Title on the Main page

On some projects there is title dispayed on the Main Page (like s:de:) and on some there is not (like s:en:). I would like to remove it from s:sl:Main Page. --Janezdrilc (talk) 02:06, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

This is nothing we can do for you. See the MediaWiki FAQ for a CSS solution for this problem, which you could implement by yourself. --Vogone (talk) 05:01, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

CSS works. Thanks for a tip. --Janezdrilc (talk) 17:50, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Requesting MassMessage sender rights

Hello! I would like to request MassMessage sender rights in order to send out Wikimedia Norge's newsletters on user talk pages. We have previously been sending them out via email, but we figure they will get higher visibility if we also post them on user talk pages for users who register for it. Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 12:32, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

@Jon Harald Søby (WMNO): The Newsletters are on a opt-in basis? --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:15, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter: Yes, of course. :-) Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 15:38, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

 Done --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:44, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

(public) Thank you very much! Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 16:34, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Verdy_p edit wars, again

Please advise verdy_p to continue the discussion before continuing to restore an incorrect bot edit of two weeks ago, caused by some edits of his. Note that I've only fixed one page until today because I fear verdy_p would otherwise start edit warring on dozens or hundreds of pages, but I'm ready to make things consistent again once the risk is eliminated. --Nemo 11:21, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
