Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat
| ←Requests and proposals | 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.

Request renaming or speedily closing a request for comment intended for defamation[edit]
Would any disinterested administrator speedily close or rename this RfC? This is an extremely serious personal attack in violation of Meta:Civility.--Jusjih (talk) 19:28, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- Jusjih: Alleging abuse of administrative rights while providing links and making a case is not in and of itself a personal attack. It is also pertinent to note that threatening editors for opening an RfC about you is not appropriate conduct for a Meta-Wiki administrator. Please try to remain calm and objective while processes like these are going on. Best, Vermont (talk) 20:48, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- Vermont's comments are true, though I doubt that it should be at Metawiki, this is a local issue for zhWS and has no global implications, and is between administrators. Having this discussed in English here is just problematic. I have asked for it to be moved back to zhWS, then we should be able to close it out. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:19, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- Then please also ask Zhxy 519 to try to remain calm and objective, or he should be blocked here for disruption. Please note how Zhxy 519 retaliated while he would face de-admimship [1] and why the RfC has excessively biased title [2]. See also a new RFC to tighten Requests for comment/Policy.--Jusjih (talk) 19:43, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Jusjih regarding the first diff, Zhxy 519 does make a valid point, and for the second diff also there was no good reason to move the RfC. Given there may be language barriers, please AGF. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 23:21, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Will not close here as it might not be good for me to close zh related issues, but to be honest, I don't see anything actionable here. I really can't see any clear policy violations on any party that is to that extent that sanctions are applicable till now. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:15, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Module talk:Userbox & Module talk:WikidataIB edit protected requests[edit]
Hello. Could someone familiar with templates, Lua and TemplateStyles, or that feels comfortable working with them, please take a look at the edit protected requests at Module talk:Userbox and Module talk:WikidataIB? Thanks! —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:16, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Creation of User:TolBot[edit]
Hello! Could somebody create a user page for my bot account, TolBot? I would like it to contain {{Bot|Tol|toolforge=yes}}. It appears I cannot create it due to an edit filter. Thank you! Tol (talk) 17:08, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- To confirm that I own the bot: creation log; to confirm it's approved (on English Wikipedia): rights log for +bot. Tol (talk) 17:11, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
