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. Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages: Requests for (translation/central notice/interface) 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 campaigns 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, as a permanent link, and the history of the page being imported in the edit summary to avoid copyright violations.

Request for Confirmation

I would like to be Confirmed on this wiki, since my main account User:NotReallySoroka is one. It can help me with potentially translating pages here. Thanks, --PasVraimentSoroka (talk) 17:28, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

• Comment I would like this right even if I become auto-confirmed between now and your response. Thank you, PasVraimentSoroka (talk) 22:47, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
  • We don't do that, as it is useless - and you have already hit the count so if a crat comes along they could give you +confirmed with a 4 day expiration. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
    • "Potentially translating pages"? - How? Can only autoconfirmed people translate? --MF-W 00:35, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
      • I would like to, but you know, potential semi-protection. Also, I would still like to be confirmed for 4 days. PasVraimentSoroka (talk) 01:37, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Not done Not overtly needed, no reason to undertake. It is a alternate account and it will get autoconfirmed user when it gets there. Use your primary account if you need to do so.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:11, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Change content model of Template:Years_or_months_ago/l10n.json

Hello! Can a sysop turns Template:Years_or_months_ago/l10n.json content model into JSON, please? Also, please delete empty Module:Years or months ago/l10n.json page. -- Pols12 (talk) 14:13, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Done Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:14, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Actually, this does not produce expected result because of a bug. So, can you reverts to wikitext content model (or plain text), please? Sorry for that. Pols12 (talk) 18:33, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

@Pols12 No problem, done! Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:57, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
