Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat

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.

Report concerning User:2605:8D80:407:22BF:1DD0:2BFB:2A8E:1D0B[edit]
2605:8D80:407:22BF:1DD0:2BFB:2A8E:1D0B (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) — Reasons: xwiki translation issues MathXplore (talk) 05:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Similar reports can be found at Wikispecies:Administrators'_Noticeboard#Please_delete..., Wikimedia:Village_pump#xwiki_translation_issues_by_Special:Contributions/2604:3D08:9476:BE00:D893:23D3:605:80B8. Already reported same IP at Commons. MathXplore (talk) 05:15, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- see Meta talk:Babylon#Simple language translations as well. I think we should set Special:AbuseFilter/328 to disallow those translations for non-autopatrolled users. Johannnes89 (talk) 09:16, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Seeming spam editor[edit]
I would report 9999 lines (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) at Steward_requests/Global, but the only for sure spam he's posted is at mw:. Here, his user page has what appears to be some weird spam, but there's no way that I'm clicking on that link. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:18, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Follow-up that user is now indef banned on mw. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Not done the user isn't active here, so I don't think that we need to be doing anything locally. Global concerns to the stewards at SRG — billinghurst sDrewth 04:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean by Not done, but deleting his spam page is
Done, which I think is definitely doing something to respond to this thread. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:29, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- The template {{delete}} is all that is needed to have a page deleted, and has been picked up by whatever normal processes are in play. Reporting here is not normally needed for that level of intervention. Reporting here is usually an indicator of more. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sure, hence why I alerted admins: this person could just be fundamentally confused and needs guidance or could be a bot posting spam or could be someone with poor English skills, etc. I was relying on the judgement of admins to intervene with whatever they thought was most appropriate. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:17, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Vandalism. LTA. Lemonaka (talk) 00:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Done I have left talk page open for appeal, though unsure whether that will be helpful. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
change a translated page[edit]
I would to copy content from (Template:Egypt Wikimedians User Group/header) to (Template:Egypt Wikimedians User Group/header/en). Ibrahim.ID ✪ 16:59, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Are you trying to rename the entire Wikimedians of the Levant project in to Egypt Wikimedians User Group? — xaosflux Talk 17:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- I think this is only a layout duplicate.
- Done I have marked the page for translation. Please note several translation admins check pending pages regularly, so most changes should wait lower than a week. To request a quicker review, Meta talk:Babylon is probably a better venue than here on RfH. -- Pols12 (talk) 21:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
