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 MassMessage sender rights[edit]

Request MassMessage sender rights Re-requesting as suggested

Hello, Sample Message would be: Join us for office hours on (date and time) and similar announcements about User group events. The audience for the messages would be our members (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_and_Libraries_User_Group/Members). I would need this capability at least through January 2023, or for one year from now. Please let me know what else you need from me.

Earlier request: I'm chair of the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group Steering Committee and I want to send our 380+ members. --Windblown29 (talk) 15:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

--Windblown29 (talk) 14:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Windblown29 Hello. I mean a full message that you will send and a MMS list that is created. For example you might want to refer to this. Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:07, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Help filing RfC for global ban of Midnight68[edit]

I was advised to start an RfC about banning a long-term problem user. After spending a lot of time creating the RfC, I was unable to save it because of "abuse 23". When I tried to ask an admin for help, I discovered that my account had been blocked by the abuse filter bot. @Xaosflux: suggested I ask for help here. I was able to save a draft of the RfC in my userspace on English Wikipedia. It would be ideal if someone could start the RfC for me with that draft. Failing that, could someone at least tell me why I am unable to save the RfC so that I can fix it myself? Thanks. B. disruptus (talk) 20:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note to admins, this was hitting private filter Special:AbuseFilter/214 = which is fairly broad and impacts newer editors. — xaosflux Talk 20:55, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not related to the abuse filter false positive, but you aren't eligible to file a global ban proposal because you don't have at least 500 edits globally (on all Wikimedia wikis) (from Global bans#Obtaining consensus for a global ban). * Pppery * it has begun 21:19, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Report concerning Bewpo[edit]

Please also revoke TPA. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 06:17, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh Yes check.svg Done. But next time could you just re-open the above section for completeness of record. Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Camouflaged Mirage: Parsing a section is considerably harder than just adding a new one so I did not choose the former when writing this script. Thanks anyway. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 10:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse filter request[edit]

It seems that IP user pages are not allowed here. Should a filter be created? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 18:15, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a problem, i do not see mass creation. A filter is not needed. ---𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 19:16, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fawiki block problem[edit]

Hello, there is a problem I try to fix weeks ago. The problem is I did put a image to fawiki, wich was than deleted in Commons. I think the uploader did not have permission in Wikimedia Commons and didn't know it (because there was written "Permission is on the way"). I get blocked actually for 7 days, but than I get blocked every week without reason??? (The reason wich is written there: Automatically closed by the editing filter. Explanation of the compliant rule: Identify the disruptive user) TayfunEt. (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TayfunEt.: Meta admins cannot help you with that. Please ask local users at fawiki. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 22:02, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh: Ok, thanks for the information. TayfunEt. (talk) 22:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for comment/De-adminship for Jusjih in certain projects[edit]

I am concerned that Jusjih (talk · contribs) appears to be making serious allegations of paid editing here. (I will also note that Jusjih is an administrator on this wiki, which is concerning - certainly not the sort of intimidating behavior that I want to see from any admin on any wiki, especially Meta).

I will also say that there are some comments made by other editors there that could use some clerking under the powers given at Requests for comment/Policy. --Rschen7754 05:12, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be best to close the RFC altogether, as it is clearly not actionable. Deciding to desysop someone in all projects via a Meta RFC is unprecedented, and there is no support for it anyway in the RFC. As desysopping is a steward action, a steward should probably close it. --MF-W 08:24, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
