Autopatrolled

I am an autopatrolled user on the Vietnamese Wikipedia, and I would like to request the autopatrolled right on Meta-Wiki. In cases involving vandalism or spambots that require urgent action when no local administrator is available on the Vietnamese Wikipedia, I would like to use Twinkle Global to report them to m:GSR. Làm Việc Thiện (talk) 12:45, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Not done Autopatroller status is granted sua sponte, and the request before that led up to this request on SRP doesn't inspire all that much confidence. Autopatroller (or the lack of it) also has zero ability to impact you from requesting urgent action on GSR. //shb (t • c) 12:56, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

@shb Over at SRP, I was advised to submit my request here, This is not the correct place to request this user right, as RFH is the correct place for that. However, you said that it "doesn't inspire all that much confidence." Without the autopatrolled right, I cannot use Twinkle Global on Meta-Wiki.Làm Việc Thiện (talk) 13:10, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

I'd very much expect an autopatrolled user to know that SRP is not the place to request Meta-Wiki permissions. //shb (t • c) 13:41, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

@EggRoll97 The IP is used across wikis with temporary accounts here, "anonym only" would be helpful to block only edits by temporary accounts, not users who are logged in or create account. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 06:27, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Appeal against a ban

I have been banned on all wikipedia because allegedly I was a troll and a vandal on the french wikipedia and even here, on meta. But the truth is very different: my account has been hacked (trohan horse, infostealer software) and hackers (perhaps noha, the worse troll of the french wikipedia) wrote trollish comments with my accound of falsified my signature in talk pages to make believe it was me. By luck they had the same IP range than me so the check-users did not see anything! In addition to that they wrote spam on the wikipedia IRC with my pseudonyme so now all admins hate me:-( apokrif (talk) 16:38, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Patroller + TAIV

Hello, I would like to get these two rights since I'm active against vandalism for the last 2/3 months. And I have a question, can I see TAs IP adresses if TAs are not editing Meta-Wiki? Thanks, --Morkoz (talk) 18:08, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

No, you can't see their IPs if they haven't made any edits to Meta-Wiki unless you're a checkuser, or a GR who can see it on other wikis where they've edited. Tenshi! (Talk page) 18:12, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Actually, I'm wrong on that. If they hit abuse filters, I believe that you can see it through the abuse log. Tenshi! (Talk page) 18:13, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

@Morkoz and Tenshi Hinanawi: You can, by using Special:IPInfo. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 18:39, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

That's interesting, didn't knew you could do it that way. Tenshi! (Talk page) 18:43, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Done. While I thank you for volunteering, I take this opportunity (even if I'm off topic here) to ask you, in cases where you make block requests for an LTA that has created multiple vandal pages, to report only the user on GSR asking to delete/nuke all the pages (it's not necessary to report them one at a time or tag them with the {{del}} template and, even if you may think it's useful for the editcount, I assure you that it makes no difference in case of future request for permissions). Many thanks again :)

You can see the "view IP" button only for the metawiki logs/edits (but you can use IP info in case). Please remember to always respect the relevant policies. -- Superpes15 (talk) 22:58, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Request for IP Block Exemption

Hello, I would like to request for IPBE. I am having issues with certain service providers that I currently switched and planning to stick to it. I can only edit here if I use some VPNs which are not my style. For more info, see here. Thank you. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 18:54, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Since you're editing multiple wikis you need the GIPBE. I'm granting you the temporary exemption rights, so that you can request for the global permissions. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 20:27, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Request for administrator action regarding Marrakech

The discussion on Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Project has become a continuation of a pattern of disruptive dispute behaviour that has already resulted in indefinite blocks on nlwiki and enwiki.

Rather than using the established appeal and review procedures on those projects, Marrakech has brought the dispute to Meta and continued (more or less) the same arguments here. Despite repeated reminders that the discussion was about UCoC interpretation, not an appeal of individual administrator actions, Marrakech has repeatedly re-litigated the local blocks, criticised individual administrators, and expanded the discussion into broader accusations of abuse and bad faith.

This contribution by ContextCreator, describes the typical discussion pattern visible in this thread: prolonged argumentation, repeated reopening of disputes, disregard for venue boundaries, and discussions being pulled away from their original purpose (and not stopping when this is pointed out).

The concern in this request is (and I'd like to state this explicitly) not Marrakech's opinions on controversial topics, but the recurring way disputes are conducted: refusing to accept appropriate processes, continuing conflicts across venues, and preventing discussions from remaining constructive. This is getting mildly exhausting.

Needless to say, administrative intervention is requested, be it through some form of warning, reprimand, or block.

Kind regards, ItsNyoty (talk) 22:01, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I support this request. For evident reasons, I won't process this request myself. Daniuu (talk) 22:16, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I contacted the user 30 minutes before this request. I'm waiting for a reply. Thanks Superpes15 (talk) 23:31, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I just warned the participants to the discussion and the specific user to stop exporting a local dispute on generic U4C pages, if they will not stop I'm going to consider a partial block on U4C pages. Now it seems that they are doing it on other Meta pages too if Meta admins are going to consider something different I am happy to let you deal with the issue. Many thanks :-) --Civvì (talk) 14:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

@Civvì: Grazie! I think our next step will be a 1-week block sitewide, if they won't stop. Are you having a problem with a page that has been essentially copy-pasted into one a new user subpages, after a brief discussion on their user talk pages? I'm prone to delete it and I also think that this may cause confusion being a U4C talk page in another space. Superpes15 (talk) 15:17, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Uhhh Just deleted by Count Count! Sorry for asking about it lol Superpes15 (talk) 15:18, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

@Superpes15: The only thing I would have a problem with is a partial block on u4c pages because I am lazy - oh, I'm Italian - and that's a long list of pages... ;-D --Civvì (talk) 15:34, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Lol! Weren't the Italians the hardest-working?

Just closing for now as resolved. The user is warned and the issue is monitored by multiple sysops.

@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh: I don't think this is an LTA so much as just generic disruption across TAs. See the /32 underlying the TA here. While there is pretty much nothing in the way of productive contributions from this range, this would be a massive rangeblock, so I would prefer other opinions prior to a block.

I am requesting the Event Organizer user right on Meta-Wiki to enable me to organize and coordinate Wikimedia community activities, particularly an upcoming project focused on improving the representation and accessibility of knowledge about women in the Tyap language.

Proposed Wikimedia event

Translating 200 Women-Related Articles in the Tyap Wikipedia I plan to organize a Wikimedia translation event aimed at translating approximately 200 women-related articles in the Tyap Wikipedia. The project will bring together Wikimedia contributors to translate and improve articles relating to women, with the aim of increasing the availability of quality knowledge in the Tyap language and encouraging Women greater participation in Tyap Wikipedia. As the event organizer, I intend to coordinate participants, facilitate the translation activities, monitor contributions, and ensure that the project is conducted in accordance with Wikimedia policies, community guidelines, and content standards. The Event Organizer right will enable me to make effective use of Wikimedia's event tools for participant registration, event coordination, and contribution tracking.

Criteria

Global edits: 2,550 — I meet beyond the recommended minimum of 300 global edits. Event participation/organization: I am planning to organize a Wikimedia translation event focused on women-related content in the Tyap Wikipedia. No active block: I confirm that I have no active block on Meta-Wiki.

Report concerning User:Wickey

Wickey (talk • contribs • User rights • global contributions • CentralAuth • block log) got blocked indefinately on the Dutch Wikipedia in June. Since then, they have moved on to meta, filed a case with the U4C, and engaged in a lot of discussions on meta. For example: [1], [2], and [3]. As can be seen from the latter link, Wickey has been making extensive commentaries, without actually doing the thing requested: appealing the block. In those commentaries, they just keep rambling about the alledged non-neutrailty of nlwiki, the admins that previously blocked them, essentially about anyone making decisions that don't work out for them. The constant exporting of local nlwiki conflict, continued nature of the allegations, the lack of motivation for them, constantly pushing the boundaries, and the lack of response to the warnings given, have led to this request for additional administrator intervention.

Request for Event Organizer Rights

Dear Wikimedia Administrators,

I (Amina Ibrahim), a community leader and active member of the Yoruba Wikipedia Fan Club Offa. I am requesting the Event Organizer right to enable me to participate more effectively as a co-organiser of our proposed project, “Documenting Oya Grove, Laage Grove and Onira Palace in Oyun Local Government,” scheduled to run from 20 August to 30 August 2026.

I have previously served as a co-organiser in several community projects, including the Offa Heritage Documentation Initiative Project and “Digitizing Yoruba Heritage: One Edit at a Time,” among other Wikimedia community activities.

Although I have actively supported these projects, my participation and ability to carry out some event-related responsibilities have been restricted by the lack of Event Organizer rights. Having this right would enable me to contribute more effectively to participant coordination, event management, onboarding and other organisational responsibilities assigned to me.

I understand the responsibilities associated with the right and will use it strictly for legitimate Wikimedia community activities. I have no active blocks on my account.

I kindly request that my application be considered and the Event Organizer right granted to enable me to contribute effectively to the successful implementation of the proposed project.

Thank you for your consideration.

Request for Event Organizer Right

Dear Wikimedia Administrators,

I (Olaoye Sheu Ibrahim (talk)), a community leader and active member of the Yoruba Wikipedia Fan Club Offa, respectfully request the Event Organizer right. This will allow me to serve more effectively as a co-organiser of our proposed project, “Documenting Oya Grove, Laage Grove and Onira Palace in Oyun Local Government,” scheduled to take place from 20 August to 30 August 2026.

I have previously contributed as a co-organiser on several community initiatives, including the Offa Heritage Documentation Initiative and “Digitizing Yoruba Heritage: One Edit at a Time,” as well as other Wikimedia activities.

Although I have actively supported these efforts, the absence of Event Organizer rights has limited my ability to fully carry out certain event-related duties. Granting this right would enable me to contribute more effectively to participant coordination, event management, onboarding, and the other organisational responsibilities assigned to me.

I understand the responsibilities that accompany this right and will use it solely for legitimate Wikimedia community activities. I have no active blocks on my account.

I kindly ask that my application be considered and the Event Organizer right granted so that I may support the successful delivery of the proposed project.

Thank you for your consideration.

Olaoye Sheu Ibrahim: Your request is almost the same as the one above. I’d like to hear from you why you need this right and how you plan to use it. – DreamRimmer ■ 14:06, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

The reply seems like that because we are from the same Fan club, participated and collaborated on previous approved projects and planning to embark on a new one slated for August 2026 where we intend to document a Yọrùbá heritage site in Ira, Oyun local government area. With my request granted, I will be able to individually track members contributions, effectively manage registration while keeping participants informed remotely in situation when I am not with my club members.

Disputing a user warning

Moved from Requests for comment/August 2026 dispute about civility

I got a warning on my talk page (User talk:Clovermoss#Harassment) for leaving a single message on every board member's talk page. I do not think I did anything wrong and was simply frank about the responsibilities board members have and my assessment in how they are failing the duties of that role if they do not act urgently to correct the situation. I'm concerned that two stewards have warned me about this perfectly normal behaviour and the chilling effect it could have. Being threatened with a possible block over this really isn't okay, in my opinion. Clovermoss (talk) 03:58, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

• This type of discussion is probably best suited at RFH or the Meta RFC, as it pertains to a warning issued by SHB in their capacity as a local admin not a steward (who do not act on Meta outside of non-controversial circumstances). I also agree with them that leaving a message on each board member's talk page is, shall we say, poor etiquette - imagine how quickly sanctions would come to someone who did that on enwiki to get the attention of arbcom, for example. I would suggest limiting future messages to either a single message on a relevant talk page or noticeboard (pings are acceptable), but I will not personally intervene if more happens, because this seems like an absolute nightmare to wade into so I will not wade in further :-) – Ajraddatz (talk) 04:30, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  imagine how quickly sanctions would come to someone who did that on enwiki to get the attention of arbcom, I don't think anyone would ever be sanctioned for writing what I did, no. It's hard to give a direct one to one comparison, but on enwiki, doing this sort of thing is completely normal if you have concerns about whether or not an admin is violating w:Wikipedia:ADMINACCT, for example. The idea of leaving talk page messages to relevant parties being poor etiquette is literally unimaginable to me. Simply pinging someone if you're discussing them at a noticeboard can get one in trouble. You're meant to notify them directly. Clovermoss (talk) 04:34, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  Well I am clearly not up to date on my enwiki norms :-) on Meta I think pings are generally preferable. – Ajraddatz (talk) 04:53, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  I respect your opinions and I understand that you're frustrated, but I do have to agree that the warning is correct here, and at some point this serves to bludgeon the discussion.

  Clover, while I applaud you for standing up, I am concerned that you're hitting your head on this wall too much. Please, stay away and take a wikibreak when needed, for your own good. EPIC (talk) 08:20, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  I don't think the warning is correct and several people have clearly taken issue with it already. I did nothing wrong. As for your comment regarding my own good, I'd really appreciate if people stopped making patronizing comments about my supposed state of mind. That's not okay, either. Clovermoss (talk) 08:39, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  Yes, I think you are the best judge of your own mind and your own health. And I think people should believe you when you state that you know what it best for you. Abzeronow (talk) 15:17, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  Putting gender aside, saying "maybe you need to take a break" to someone expressing anger and frustration is a really invalidating thing to do. It reinforces the idea that the anger and frustration is not legit.

  This sort of "genuine concern" is unwelcome and is itself very impolite, even if it appears to be polite. It's like saying "omg please go to therapy" to someone. While going to therapy is a good thing that would benefit a person, saying this to someone is less genuine concern and more a veiled personal attack.

  I'm not saying that this was your intention EPIC. But think of how you would interpret it if I said "EPIC, you're acting wrong, please see a therapist", whether you would see that as genuine concern or an attack. It's a very similar situation. Egezort (talk) 17:16, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  The problem here is that the logic does not work, because there is a big difference between telling someone "go to therapy" and telling someone "I'm concerned that you're digging yourself too deep into a contentious topic". This is regardless of whether the frustration is legit or not. I like and respect Clover, but our job as Meta admins is enforcing policy regardless of who the person in question is. EPIC (talk) 21:09, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  But you didn't say I'm concerned that you're digging yourself too deep into a contentious topic. You said I was banging on my head on a wall and needed to stop editing for my own good. I think that's incredibly incivil and not at all appropriate. Clovermoss (talk) 22:22, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  I didn't say that directly no, but my message was intended to be interpreted as such. I also didn't say that you needed to stop editing - I said that you should step away when needed because the matter is straining and none of us want anyone to be negatively affected by it. All that clarified, I'm sorry if you found my message incivil, that was not at all my intention. EPIC (talk) 23:19, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

  There is a smaller difference between "Please, stay away and take a wikibreak when needed, for your own good." and "Go to therapy.". The latter is a bit worse probably, but works for the analogy.

  Whatever offence you think is in the therapist comment, we think is in your comment. That was my point. Not that it's literally the same.

  If anything, only the degree and intensity is different, the underlying issue in both comments is more or less the same. Egezort (talk) 22:40, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Clovermoss has been warned already, no need to echo it, other than to say you think it was valid. The focus of this RfH should be on whether this warning should be struck or not Shushugah (talk) 09:01, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Speaking from the perspective of an uninvolved admin, while I can see SHB's point, on the whole I don't think this rises to a warning. The main reason is the "single message" part. Each WMF board member got exactly one message. Outside of that, I see several replies to the CEO's page, which while unhappy in tone doesn't look uncivil to me. What would have been unacceptable is, for instance, if each board member was needlessly pinged multiple times.

I would strike off the warning if it was me. Leaderboard (talk) 09:52, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I agree with EPIC and Ajraddatz. Multiple people have already explained why members of the BoT cannot simply implement remedies on their own and keep a large portion of their activities private or obscure. Statements such as failed to listen to desperate attempts of people [...] like me give the impression that the discussion is being framed around your individual expectations. BoTs and the wider Wikimedia movement have to consider the interests of the community as a whole rather than those of any single contributor, regardless of their achievements or recognition. Also avoid relying on English Wikipedia policies in this discussion. Meta has its own community, policies, and practices, so norms such as ADMINACCT are not applicable here. Whether a particular style of communication is acceptable on English Wikipedia is therefore not especially relevant to how discussions are expected to take place on Meta. Your recent messages have not been consistent with the standards of conduct that Meta expects, particularly compared to previous heated discussions. I think a warning is an appropriate response at this stage. However, I have not yet seen much indication that you understand why your conduct has been viewed as problematic, so I would not rule out stronger measures if the same pattern continues. I also believe that any contributor in the same circumstances should be held to the same standard, regardless of whether they are a Wikimedia Medal of the Year recipient, an English Wikipedia administrator, or neither. A09|(pogovor) 11:06, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

You really think pointing out that people have made desperate attempts to reach them (aka the petition, which is also on Meta and has more than 200 signatures) is incivil? I'm not saying this is the English Wikipedia, but I'd expect similar expectations for what the word civility means. I'm not asking to be held to a different standard, but if this is the standard, I'm deeply concerned that this behaviour is considered unacceptable on Meta. I do not think anything I said was problematic. Clovermoss (talk) 13:13, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I believe this to the extent that I am willing to bring it before the Universal Code of Conduct Committee if nessecary. I think warning people for behaviour like mine has a significant chilling effect and is not okay, especially considering the fact that it's not unusual for someone to have a global Meta talk page. As for Your recent messages have not been consistent with the standards of conduct that Meta expects, particularly compared to previous heated discussions, I genuinely have no idea what you could possibly be referring to. If it's about my comment calling for Bernadette's resignation, I'm probably one of the nicest, most conciliatory people doing so in that discussion. It feels like I'm being unfairly singled out for odd reasons and I don't like it, especially since two people have already made two comments regarding my health.Clovermoss (talk) 13:37, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I'd like to apologize if my comment was uncomfortable to you, my intent was out of pure concern. I'm going to leave the matter from here as I've said what I've wanted to say. EPIC (talk) 14:06, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I'd personally advise against making comments like that, especially if you're directing them towards a woman. There's a lot of gendered associations that comes with such commentary. The fact that I have emotions does not make me irrational and my direct communication style doesn't, either. Clovermoss (talk) 14:11, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I believe EPIC's comment had nothing to do with gender at all. It was simply an expression of concern for the other person's health and wellbeing, and interpreting it as a gendered remark seems to misrepresent EPIC's intent. 𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷기나ㅏㄴ(T/C) 14:24, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

You can express concerns about someone's wellbeing without removing their agency or saying they're hitting your head on this wall. Saying that comments like that have gendered associations, regardless of whether they meant it that way (which I would hope not, hence my advice to avoid them in the future), is important if we want to be an environment that women feel welcome in. Clovermoss (talk) 14:37, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I confirm that my comment had nothing to do with gender. I was simply expressing my concern over getting caught up in a contentious topic. EPIC (talk) 16:17, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I think the warning should be struck. Clovermoss said nothing incivil. Abzeronow (talk) 15:17, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Just to point out that, on Metawiki, we generally pay more attention to those who post the same thing in multiple places, for example those who report something in the talk pages of all sysops (or stewards and so on). I understand that practices are different on other projects, but here, we generally see different "reprimands" about repeated messages or wrong tones (which is not a request for censorship, but simply for de-escalation purpose). I'd like to let you know that there's no issue in using the ping, this may not be seen correctly on some projects, but there is no problem here. I believe that the whole thing arose precisely for this reason.

Also, I'm sorry if the various comments were taken as discriminatory or indicative of a mental state. I believe it was also due to a language barrier and I don't think anyone tried to discriminate, I felt very sorry if anyone perceived this on metawiki, which always tries to be a healthy, integrated, multicultural and totally respectful environment. I wouldn't want anyone to not feel "at home" here.

Returning to the merits of the matter: Imagine if hundreds of discussions on same topic, perhaps heated ones, were created in different places. This is why we always say that "meta is not an experiment in anarchy" (please take the word "anarchy" very allegorically), precisely because of the multicultural and complex nature of metawiki we try to have a practical order of discussions. Now I'm asking, what is the request made to us third party meta sysops? What kind of intervention are you asking us to do (so we can evaluate what to do)? Personally, I don't think there was any abuse of the flag in this situation (also I see that no action has yet been taken by the involved admins), but I'm available to listen your requests, is this a request to edit the original first warning using different tones? Thanks for your attention. Superpes15 (talk) 16:02, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I think there's a big difference between notifying every admin on a project and notifying every single board member of something in pretty dire circumstances (enwiki would call the former forumshopping or likely qualify it as disruptive editing more broadly, while the latter would be perfectly acceptable).

Considering that Meta is a place where people are engaging from multiple projects, I think it's especially important that what I did is not perceived as problematic. It's simply another way of notifying someone, and again, global talk pages exist. I think it would've been incredibly rude if I had simply chose a random board member and decided to only direct my concerns to them. It'd be singling them out and making it needlessly personal.

I'm not sure I can entirely trust that this is a language barrier issue, either. The initial warning about harrassment included text about how my concerns were unhealthy. I think that's incivil in its own right. I'm not sure how it's perceived here, but I'm not used to accusations of harrassment being something one does casually, and that that in itself can constitute harrassment. Implying that my comment somehow meant that I wasn't respecting people's humanity is also a genuinely distressing accusation. I'd like the warning to be struck. Clovermoss (talk) 16:15, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Yep, I understand the point, but just see thinks from our sysop prospective. The same message on several talk pages with bright tones can be a red flag. Putting the fact into context now it's clearer, and I don't think anyone intends to block you after the explanation or consider your behavior as problematic. I saw the word "unhealthy" was removed, so I can suppose it was likely a misunderstanding, even more clearly the one above. On the board page, as mentioned below, there's a noticeboard and I'd personally recommend posting there (I'm sorry that it's not clearly written and this caused all the troubles), instead of creating more topics.

Regarding the reprimand for the tone, I understand that it was made within the limits of the admins' discretionary power as per policy, so let's say that precisely in the heterogeneous style of metawiki, you'll never see an identical perception of harassment. Personally I'd interpret the message you received as an invitation to pay attention to the tone used, I don't think it serves "for censorship" and to avoid further (always fundamental) democratic messages of complaint towards the body, and the complaints are not the ones that lead to a block if done in the right ways and tones (and I struggle to remember a block for anything similar). Again, I'm personally very sorry that your experience on metawiki was like this and that it caused you negative feelings, but I assure you that you can edit on metawiki safely in compliance with the policies without fear of any kind of blocking. Superpes15 (talk) 21:09, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm trying to see it from the Meta sysop perspective, but that's what concerns me. Because warning people for their tone when they haven't done anything incivil or improper creates a w:chilling effect that could prevent other people from exercising their right to complain or provide critical assessment and that's especially important when it comes to holding people in power accountable. I worry about that type of overreach because I recognize that these warnings do have genuine impact on the people receiving them, and someone who isn't me might be more inclined to just never say anything again, and that's not right. I also think it's tremendously unfair considering my tone is nothing like the majority of the comments at User talk:BMeehan-WMF. The focus on me feels disconcerting and of somewhat of a double standard. I do not feel confident that I assure you that you can edit on metawiki safely in compliance with the policies without fear of any kind of blocking is true. Clovermoss (talk) 22:17, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm sorry I didn't reassure you, but I never said anything untrue. I don't consider you a user who should be monitored or at risk of being blocked, and I'm sorry that it's said here that meta sysops usually use harassment, I'm not aware of it and I don't think it's our style, also I agree that when something is considered disproportionate or unfair you should ask for support as you did. I agree also it's essential to ask for information and updates on functioneers' accountability, and everyone should be able to do it, respecting the policies! Superpes15 (talk) 23:59, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I appreciate what you and Leaderboard said, but it's hard to be reassured when multiple admins in this thread keep saying the warning is valid when it shouldn't be. Clovermoss (talk) 11:37, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

The message doesn't mean you're formally warned and next time you edit will be blocked. On metawiki, any user can be blocked at the first policy violation, and there's no need for warning escalation. I recommend you take what the other sysops have said as a simple reminder to be careful in respecting the policies, nothing more, nothing less. If you have any problems, I remain available! Let me know if we can consider the matter closed for you, and I'm really sorry, but I believe that no further administrative action is possible at this time, I personally don't think you have a yellow card marking you. Superpes15 (talk) 12:08, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

But I have been respecting the policies and the fact that I have been warned for behaviour that is not problematic is concerning. I'm worried I'll have to go to the Universal Code of Conduct Committee, truly. Clovermoss (talk) 12:34, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

@Clovermoss: Yep absolutely, It's your right and freedom to do so, if you feel that the UCoC policy has been violated. I was referring to closing the thread here, which is a request to us meta sysops, I don't think administrative actions are required at the moment. Superpes15 (talk) 12:39, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Quick comment, there are places and processes to ping sysop and stewards on meta and make sure one see and manage a request. This is not the case here, Trustees are not expected to keep track of any places to pitch in. Even the different message boards are usually not tracked by all trustees. The only page they would receive a notification on, is their own talk pages. Which is what Clovermoss used, once for each if I'm not mistaken. She didn't spam, harass, or swamped to get a sysop or steward request fulfilled, she only sent a message to individual people on the board. If we look at it from each trustee perspective, they all received the grand total of one message on their talk page, not sure how that qualifies as harassment. schiste (talk) 17:16, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

@Schiste: I hope all trustees follow the Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard. Isn't it the best place to post if someone wants to reach all of them at once? Gdarin | talk 17:42, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes, that is the correct location, and if there is a concern with whether the page is monitored then pings could be used when leaving a message. – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:47, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I would be very surprised, pleasantly, if that changed. Not all trustees are Wikimedians and there are community liaisons that are supposed now to be that link. If one was to ping all trustees on wiki, talk page would definitely be the right way.schiste (talk) 17:50, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

@A09 @Abzeronow @Ajraddatz @Clovermoss @EPIC @Gdarin @Leaderboard @Schiste

I have received confirmation through the Wikimedia General Chat (from @Nadzik) that the Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard is the appropriate place for reaching out to the BoT.

Since this was not said by anyone before, I think Clovermoss' previous messages were okay to send individually.

I think that, as long as the BoT maintains good communication through those channels, there's no reason anyone would continue using all possible channels.

If the BoT doesn't engage in productive communication there, I still think it's (going to be) justified sending them messages individually.

With these info all clarified, I think we should consider this matter resolved, and treat the situation of Clovermoss as having a clean record (ie, no "you had been warned about this before" to be used against her later). Egezort (talk) 21:04, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I still stand by my message. While BoTN is an appropriate place to notify all BoTs there is no need to solicit each member's talkpage. A09|(pogovor) 21:13, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Whether there was a "need to" do that is not the same as whether this deserves being warned by an admin. Egezort (talk) 22:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

The default expectation on Meta is to use appropriate noticeboards, so the warning still applies. Not onboarding feedback even when negative is not an appropriate example of conduct, even less so when user has extended rights. A09|(pogovor) 08:27, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

I think it's ridiculous that some view one message on a talk page as being "harassment" or in any way problematic. Talk pages are for talking, and one message is not a pattern or anything like harassment. I also don't see anything uncivil in the messages, and sending the same message to multiple people is not the same thing as sending multiple messages to one person. Trustees are accountable to the community, and their talk pages are an appropriate place for the community to raise concerns. I am not aware of, and nobody has pointed to, any policy saying otherwise. The warning should be struck, as should several unfounded accusations/misrepresentations in this thread. Levivich (talk) 03:07, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Ditto this: The default expectation on Meta should be a no-caps assumption of good faith, rather than an assumuption that everyone knows precisely what noticebowrd to use before daring to post. —Fortuna imperatrix 16:05, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

sending the same message to multiple people is not really an acceptable way of contacting an official group here on Meta and yes, a noticeboard is more appropriate place. You've been severely misguided by stating their talk pages are an appropriate place for the community to raise concerns. A09|(pogovor) 19:42, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Then what are talk pages for exactly, if not for trying to reach out and talk to someone directly? ~2026-43134-44 (talk) 20:13, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused as to what is being discussed here. What even makes shb's message a "warning" worth disputing? Is it the "very much a blockable offence" part? Did you receive that as a threat? From a first read of that message, all I saw was a friendly suggestion to tone down a bit, maybe take a break as some others have suggested above. (Though clearly the message has failed to reduce the heat of the discussion.) By accepting to be a sysop on Meta, one doesn't waive one's right to be a human and to talk with people as peers. Cheers, Nemo 18:11, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

When a person who has access to the block function tells you that something you did is "harassment" and is "very much a blockable offense," and links to a policy page, that's a warning. Also, I'm quite surprised that you describe this message as "friendly." I think you should re-calibrate what you understand as "friendly," because that wasn't friendly at all, it was very unfriendly. It is not possible to accuse someone of harassment in a friendly way. Levivich (talk) 18:15, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

The warning would give legitimacy to a future block, because it would have been a case of "You have been warned about this before, and are still continuing". This warning not being taken back would mean that, if @Clovermoss does something genuinely blockable (but mild enough not to warrant a direct block), she won't be given a warning but instead a block. If the warning is recanted, then she will still be afforded the good faith of someone who hasn't been warned before. Egezort (talk) 20:24, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

This is a request for help from a sysop or a 'crat, no actions were taken by the involved users, so no further administrative actions are required, we're going off-topic here and this isn't a place for discussions (which can be done, as is already happening, on the relevant talk pages). I'm closing the request for help for now, but feel free to create a new one in case of need, we're here to assist.
Regardless of the outcome and the matter, I invite everyone to reflect on the fact that we are in a collaborative environment, where we are all working together for the same purpose, and we should all return to the concept of ​​good faith, both on the part of "functioneers" (in how we interpret a certain words or action of a user) and on the part of users in interpreting the comments of others and of functioneers too (not thinking that they are always done with bad tones, always remembering that we are behind a screen, with our life outside with its bigger problems than wiki, certainly, but with clarity in dialogue and tone respect to a digital device). Diplomacy and dialogue are always the best solution and I hope that, in the relevant talks, we'll return to this solution in order to clarify the relevant points in a perfect collaborative spirit. I thank those who have intervened here for their patience. I proceed to close the request, since from a sysop/bureaucrat point of view no further actions are required, best regards. --Superpes15 (talk) 21:28, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Mass Message request

I would like to target the list I created Global message delivery/Targets/Organized Labour Month Online Campaign with a 1-time message with the following wikitext. I made the Meta link an external link, because this will be send to users on both Meta and English Wiki user talk pages

== Organized Labour September Editing Event ==
[[File:Co-op activism5.svg|thumbnail]]
You're invited to join the [[:m:Event:WikiProject_Organized_Labour_Month_Online_Campaign|Organized Labour community editing event]], a cross-wiki event taking place throughout September 2026!

The campaign brings together Wikimedians interested in improving coverage of organised labour, workers, trade unions, and labour history. We have confirmed collaborations with Wikipedia language editions in English, Dutch, Persian, Serbo-Croatian and French. If you want to add other language editions or other wiki projects you are strongly encouraged to do so! This event spans geography and languages!  

This is a one-time invitation. You're receiving it because you previously signed a petition related to Wiki Workers United (WWU). We hope you'll join us!

Regards ~ [[User:Shushugah|Shushugah]] ([[User_talk:Shushugah|talk]])

Shushugah (talk) 10:53, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm happy to send this since it's a one-time thing and the target list is made up of users who showed interest in WWU. Is there a reason to send it to both their Meta and English Wikipedia talk pages? I can send it to either one, but sending the same message to both seems unnecessary and could come across as spammy. – DreamRimmer ■ 11:43, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Agreed. Out of the 2675 listed, 645 appear twice. Also, this message could use a few minor improvements. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 11:49, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

I removed the duplicates, prioritizing keeping enwiki over metawiki. Do you have more specific feedback how to improve the message? Shushugah (talk) 13:03, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

CC to NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 15:08, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

@Shushugah: Primarily the lack of a space before the trailing ==, the broken link (it renders as WikiProject Organized Labour Month), and the shortened signature. You should perhaps preview the message in a sandbox first. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 20:32, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Adjusted. Does that work? Shushugah (talk) 21:50, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes, that's better. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 23:52, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Seems fine to go. Not going to send it myself, but the only suggestion I have is asking whether you can refine the list a bit. Is every person who signed the petition necessarily signing up as well for a MassMessage about an editing event? EggRoll97 (talk) 21:28, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

@Shushugah – looks good (also won't send it myself, since I don't love dealing with the massmessage interface), but any particular reason you use the full url instead of [[:m:Event:WikiProject_Organized_Labour_Month_Online_Campaign|Organized Labour community editing event]] instead? //shb (t • c) 02:24, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

No that’s perfect. I forgot about the universal prefixes. I was getting irritated that meta:meta prefix doesn’t work on meta itself whereas m:meta does. Shushugah (talk) 04:57, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for confirming. I'll deliver it shortly. Max (talk) 05:06, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Vlaemink

• Vlaemink (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA)

At Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/Project#Interpretation of article 3, participants have now been told 4 times (3 times by U4C members and once by myself) that the page isn't meant to be a forum for discussing systemic failures of the UCoC, and that they should create a case instead. Vlaemink doesn't seem to be taking those warnings for granted and even replied directly to one of them: Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/Project#c-Vlaemink-20260813065500-XXBlackburnXx-20260803232500. They also appear to have gamed our system by making a bunch of PGAME-y edits specifically so they could make those comments, so they were clearly following the discussion in the meantime.

I ask that Vlaemink be reminded, by whatever means one deems necessary, that Meta-Wiki is not an appeals court (except through a U4C case). If they want to challenge how the UCoC has been systematically applied in a particular case, the appropriate venue is a U4C case, not a general UCoC talk. -- -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 08:37, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

I've already warned the user for abusing a functional page some days before. @Vlaemink may I ask why you are continuing what another colleague started? NDG (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

@Vlaemink I would prefer if you could reply here. NDG (talk) 23:45, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

I think the U4C committee can block this user if they think so. I'm not sure we should be interfering in the U4C space. Leaderboard (talk) 16:29, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

@Leaderboard I agree with you, that Meta-wiki admins should be very careful with users involved into U4C cases. But Vlaemink was warned by me on August 2nd for some testedits as Steward requests/Bot status. There was no reaction from them afterwards. No apology, no explanation. There was another user warned and one blocked in the same discussion some days earlier. Measures against the account would be directed against generally unacceptable behavior. NDG (talk) 17:25, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

If it's elsewhere in the project then sure, but given that the suggestion is to block on a U4C page alone, I think we should leave it to them to decide. Leaderboard (talk) 17:27, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

As I suspected, that U4C talk page was already semi-protected, but Vlaemink made some test edits on SRB to game the system, and they joined here since 2019. I believe w:en:Wikipedia:PGAME might be considered in this context. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 17:54, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Please prevent Mr.RailroadFan3025 from editing my meta talk page

I had asked Mr.RailroadFan3025 multiple times, in edit summaries visible in my talk page's history, and in a message on their talk page. They don't get it. And I'm naive enough to respond just to end up with yet another resignation message complaining about the entire community.

This has crossed the point of cross-wiki harassment; I don't want to be in a toxic on-off relationship with this user and their complaints about personal psychological problems.

@NDG: You've GS-blocked again, you might want to consider a javascript exclusion for that user script. Tenshi! (Talk page) 20:56, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Was just going to comment this as well. It's great to be marking things as global sysop actions when they're actually GS actions, but actions on Meta are clearly not. You can see User:EggRoll97/global.js for an example of wiki exclusions if you need it. EggRoll97 (talk) 21:00, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, I will change that NDG (talk) 21:02, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

(ec) Sounds good. Yeah, I did wonder why that was noted as a "GS action" as you're a Meta administrator as well. Dmehus (talk) 21:14, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Wikivoyage privacy notice MassMessage

Hello! Per the consensus at voy:Wikivoyage talk:Travel Tracker#Message to affected users, could a sysop please send the following message?

Wiki: English Wikivoyage

Recipients: All users listed here (currently 195)

Heading: Your privacy and use of the Travel Tracker

Message: In April, Wikivoyage introduced the Travel Tracker (also known as "My Travel Map") in the user menu at top right. It has recently come to our attention that the initial version of the tool did not make clear that maps created through it are public and are associated with your account. Users who used the tool and published a map may have their map deleted by emailing a request for oversight. We apologize for this matter.

Please let me know if you need any other info to process this. Thanks! Sdkb ^talk 01:39, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

@Sdkb: If this is all on a singular wiki, a local admin can use wikivoyage:Special:MassMessage to send the MassMessage locally. EggRoll97 (talk) 01:44, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

I requested it locally but it's a small wiki and none of the local admins have taken up the request, thus requesting it here. Per voy:Wikivoyage:Administrators#Non-regular administrators, global sysops are permitted to use their admin rights on Wikivoyage. Sdkb ^talk 01:52, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm somewhat familiar with MassMessage and I can make the list, but I will have to teach a Wikivoyage admin on how to operate the interface. Codename Noreste /// «⭐️✨» 01:57, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Not done. Sdkb, the mass message should be done locally on English Wikivoyage, as ER97 suggested above. I would suggest you create a mass message list using voy:en:Special:CreateMassMessageList, and then request a local Wikivoyage administrator to send the mass message, such as SHB2000. In addition, global sysops using their rights does not apply since this is considered a potentially controversial action, and that is outside of their scope as they should respect the English Wikivoyage community. Thank you. Codename Noreste /// «⭐️✨» 02:08, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Edit request

I am putting the request here to get administrators' attention.

Please create the message MediaWiki:Right-banner-protect/zh-hans with "保护由翻译扩展处理及包含在中心通告横幅内的可翻译消息". The message at translatewiki.net has existed for over 7 years, but it seems that this message on other wikis using the MediaWiki software will never get synchronized. --Pristome 13:33, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

More opinions on qiuwen.wiki

The zhwiki community has requested the removal of qiuwen.wiki from the global blacklist from time to time, though those requests were declined. I'd appreciate it if others could share their views on the latest request at Talk:Spam_blacklist#qiuwen.wiki. I may be seeing this differently, so some additional perspectives would be helpful for both me and the requester :) – DreamRimmer ■ 16:37, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer only zhwiki? local whitelist Entry? 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 17:36, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

This, that's exactly what the whitelist is for. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:56, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Actually previous requests were more often about blocking qiuwenbaike.cn (summarized at Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2025-06#qiuwenbaike.cn, only the one in 2022-12 requested unblocking, until this year). Unlike previous instances, the current request should be the first one backed by a local consensus.

I don't know how much scrutiny this domain received when it was added to the list. However, I believe the rationale for blocking it does not stand, as I explained in the discussion there. I would like to ask an administrator to review the case. Srapoj (talk) 00:30, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

@Srapoj: This is not a board intended for general notices. This is a board intended for requests for sysop/bureaucrat actions, and there is no sysop/bureaucrat action at the current time that would be appropriate, since your request at the spam blacklist talk has not reached consensus. (As a side note, this has been on here for nearly a week now, so if anyone was that interested in the request, they would have seen it by now.) EggRoll97 (talk) 21:25, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

The issue falls under the jurisdiction of Meta-Wiki admins, and has not been resolved on that board. I consider the discussion here a notice to invite others' opinion, that will expire 10 days after it's left. Therefore I object to it being archived earlier unless that request is resolved by an admin. Srapoj (talk) 21:40, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

No issue if you want to leave this notice here for a few more days. All admins are volunteers, and since no admin has commented so far, I'd assume they're probably not comfortable removing it. But if you think it would help, I'm fine with waiting a few more days. Max (talk) 04:56, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Page protect WikiConference_India_2026/ja

What's the best way to page protect one translation of a multilingual page?
My question concerns WikiConference_India_2026/ja, which has been the target of vandalism multiple days in a row now. Ciell (talk) 06:45, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

My best choice is using AbuseFilter, but you have to write condition manually. I can write one based on w:vi:Special:AbuseFilter/89. VERITAS

SAPIENTIAE 07:54, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Currently, two new global filters are active against this pattern. Protecting the pages would probably cause the vandal to move elsewhere. NDG (talk) 13:54, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I am the person who translated the page in question and posted a question about this matter on Babel. Machine translation may not have fully captured the nuances, but is my understanding correct that the page in question is protected from vandalism to some extent by the "abuse filter" rather than by "page protection"? Hdialk (talk) 11:45, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Page protection won't help because it would inherently hit Fuzzy Bot from issuing further updates. AbuseFilter seems a better and doable idea. _signed, Aafi (guesthouse) 14:07, 31 August 2026 (UTC)
