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.

It's not at all obvious to me that this is spam, and given the very high number of false positives like this on plwiktionary (example) it might be worth making some modification to the filter, such as opting out plwikt. I can't see the filter so I don't know why it's triggering the filter and I don't know what change would fix it. This isn't hugely important since it's a log-only filter, but it would still be good if some improvement could be made. lp0 on fire () 13:10, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, this filter stop doesn't appear to have anything to do with that domain, it has to do with the page title, sjónvarpsrøða — xaosflux ^Talk 13:56, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

I can remove the string, if needed. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 15:13, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
