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.

Patroller for كريم رائد

Global user: كريم_رائد (talk • contribs • global contributions • CentralAuth • block log)

Reason for request: I need this right to use the rollback to in order to I can revert mass vandalism easily by using the smart rollback tools. Thanks. كريم رائد (talk) 18:49, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@كريم رائد Why not something like Twinkle? Leaderboard (talk) 05:13, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

@Leaderboard I actually use TwinkleGlobal, but I can't do mass revert by this tool. I use Smart Rollback and Selective Rollback on other wikis to do this. كريم رائد (talk) 05:25, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Uploader xyz

Please take a look at Special:Contributions/Uploader xyz who is currently edit-warring against multiple admins/stewards at SRU (removing comments written by another admin/renamer) and violating Meta:Civility both in their edit summary as well as in their edits. I'm not blocking the user myself to avoid potential claims of involvement (the user has been blocked at my home wiki, but I didn't participate at the dewiki discussions). Johannnes89 (talk) 14:44, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Calling me „MoM“ because of this case while I am a long term renamer is a clear violation of Meta:Civility. TenWhile6 15:11, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

@TenWhile6 I'm missing context about "MoM" - the internet does not suggest anything that could lead to violating that rule. Leaderboard (talk) 15:15, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

„MoM“ means „Man on a mission“ as far as I unterstood that. TenWhile6 15:17, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Uploader xyz#c-Uploader xyz-20241201144100-Tegel-20241201144000 „paranoid MoM“ „Talking shit“ too, nice. TenWhile6 15:20, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
