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
- 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.

Suggestion[edit]

Just for convinience, can we somehow transclude Category:Meta protected edit requests to this page? 163.116.130.27 15:51, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We already link it from Special:RecentChanges with a counter, so that should be enough. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:55, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Seconded. That's enough for me personally as I use RC to patrol maintenance. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 06:39, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Talk:Steward requests/Global‎[edit]

Can someone take a look at Talk:Steward requests/Global‎? There are multiple accounts & IPs reverting each other, most of them appear to be sockpuppets. I already blocked one crosswiki vandal [1] but I'm not sure about the other accounts. Johannnes89 (talk) 11:13, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Requesting protection of Yamla's user talk page[edit]

Hello, for the past couple of days, Yamla's user talk page has been getting raided with nothing but vandalism and nonsense by Sinlu22 socks via IPs and registered accounts. I am requesting for that user's talk page to be protected temporarily so the disruption can stop. Thanks. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:11, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not a sysop, just added to watchlist--Pierpao (talk) 18:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I endorse the protection. :) I'm not active on meta, so there's basically no need for people to reach me here. Thanks, all! --Yamla (talk) 18:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done SPP'd for a year. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:56, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question regarding steward requests[edit]

I was about to request a global block for an IP range, but there was already an open request to block a single address within that range. I am wondering if the appropriate action would be for me to file a new request, add a comment to the original request, or to not make a request at all. --Painting17 (talk) 21:04, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just add your comment under the first one request. If it is urgent I can ask for you via chat--Pierpao (talk) 21:13, 25 November 2022 (UTC) Painting17--Pierpao (talk) 21:14, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Painting17: From next time, please use SN for stewards' related discussions. Many thanks, — Tulsi 24x7 11:08, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
