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.

Just for clarity: Do you request that for your activities on German Wikipedia (then local administrators can assign this right) or for some events to be organized on Metawiki (then you are at the right place)? —DerHexer (Talk) 22:03, 16 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
Just deWP. I followed instructions in the latest newsletter that sent me here. If that's not correct, I will go to deWP. Thx h-stt !? 22:16, 16 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

I would like this IP blocked for 7 days (1 week) because after they got reverted, they continued to shout/use all caps to advertise on the same user talk page. Thank you! Faster than Thunder (talk) 03:28, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

I need to use a proxy to edit. Please grant me the IP block exemption on Meta-Wiki. I have already obtained this permission on multiple other Wikimedia projects. I am willing to accept a CheckUser investigation if necessary. Thank you.--Jackyming 04:33, 18 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
