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 patroller

Occasionally I see vandalism here but without rollback it is a slow process to revert, especially when there are multiple edits to revert. I can use it to revert vandalism faster and in some cases use mass rollback, which would have been useful for a recent vandal. I am trusted with rollback on a number of other wikis. Thanks, --IWI (talk) 00:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

I have globally locked the account instead as spambot, so they can say goodbye to it. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:24, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
