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.

Interface admin for Minorax

Hello. I'd like to request for IA rights to edit pages such as MediaWiki:HideButtonsFromNonGsProjects.js & MediaWiki:Gadget-markAdmins-data.js. As a GS, I already have 2FA enabled. --Minorax^talk 23:34, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Minorax: the request page for this is over here: Meta:Requests_for_adminship#Requests_for_interface_adminship; optionally you can just drop edit requests on those, they get processed quickly. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:44, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: As per Meta:Interface_administrators#Requesting_interface_adminship, an admin can request for IA here. --Minorax^talk 14:46, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

@Minorax: Ooops, sorry forgot we changed that since it is pretty much shall-issue! A 'crat will come along and deal with this. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:01, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Remove patroller for Marshmallych

Last weekend, I manually checked the patroller logs and edits of all Meta patrollers. I found one inactive patroller: Marshmallych is a patroller from 14 April 2018. His/her last edit Special:Diff/19080977 and last public log [1] is on 7 May 2019. Last patrol log [2] on 30 August 2018. According to Meta:Patrollers, the rights of patrollers should remove who have no edit or no log in the last 2 years. But in user right logs, I couldn't see that the inactive patrols were removed according to inactivity. I'm waiting to see the opinions of other admins on this subject. Regards. --Uncitoyen^talk 14:38, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Done - though I normally wouldn't bother cleaning that up, but since you asked and since this user has tagged themselves as retired seems fine - if they come back they can stop back here and ask to resume. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:46, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
