Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat

Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat (at Meta-Wiki only)

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

Request for semi-protection for User talk:郊外生活[edit]

Please semi-protect User talk:郊外生活 due to vandalism by Sidowpknbihihj (w:ja:LTA:HEATHROW) socks. My user talk page was semi-protected in April, but recently LTA started to post abusive language here on meta and almost all edits are vandalism or revert. This type of vandalism can be seen at enwiki, commons and wikidata, and my user talk pages are semi-protected on these projects. To deal with cross-wiki abuse, I guess my user talk page needs to be semi-protected temporary. 郊外生活Kogaiseikatsu (talk,contribs) 19:30, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
