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.

RfD backlogged

Meta:Requests for deletion is very backlogged. Some admin clearing it would be appreciated. Thanks. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 03:15, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Marking as resolved as almost 1 week has passed. --SHB2000 (t • c) 03:18, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

It's still not resolved. There are still open discussions dating back to August on a venue that is supposed to be cleared within a week. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 04:45, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Sure, but I also don't see what does leaving this discussion here achieves either. --SHB2000 (t • c) 04:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Done RfD has been cleared. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 13:05, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrol

Consider granting autopatrol for Rombituon (talk · contribs), 1k edits, temporary sysop on a content project. ToadetteEdit (talk) 03:58, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

We don't usually grant AP on request, but since their edits look fine, I’ll go ahead and grant it. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 13:10, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrol

Consider granting autopatrol for Olusola David, Ayibiowu (talk · contribs). User has been editing heavily in the last few days, other than harmless typos, edits don't need patrol. ToadetteEdit (talk) 04:12, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Not done I would rather a more extensive edit history both here and elsewhere before granting autopatrolled. In the future please try leave this to admins. --SHB2000 (t • c) 05:40, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
