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.

• Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages:

Expansion of Langx in other Wikipedia languages

I want to expand all languages for using {{Langx}} from en:Module:Lang. It was first appeared on English, then expanded on Simple English, Averic and Balinese Wikipedias. Per frequent discussion at:

• en:Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 September 27#Replace and delete lang-?? templates
• en:Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 September 27/lang-?? templates
• en:Wikipedia:Simple talk#Template:Langx
• de:Wikipedia:Projektdiskussion#Vorlage:Langx

49.150.11.37 02:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

fyi, there is no consensus on dewiki about using Langx in any way – and no „frequent discussion“ there. TenWhile6 17:41, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

There is a consensus on English Wikipedia per en:Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 September 27#Replace and delete lang-?? templates. Does anyone request for comment to create and expand {{Langx}} in other Wikipedia languages, before replace and delete {{Lang-??}} with {{Langx}}? 49.150.11.37 06:44, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
