Steward requests/Miscellaneous

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This page is for requesting that a specific administrative action (such as page deletion) be performed by a steward or global sysop on a Wikimedia wiki having no active administrators. (If the wiki does have active administrators, file the request with one of them.) If the wiki has an active editor community, any potentially controversial action (deletion of actual content, edit to a protected page, renaming of a protected page, etc.) should receive consensus from the wiki community before being requested here, and a link should be provided to that consensus in the request.

To add a new request, create a new section header at the bottom of the page (just above the categories) of the form:

=== Very brief description of request here ===
{{Status|In progress}}
Your request --~~~~

Then describe your request more fully below that. It is helpful if you can provide a link to the wiki (or the specific page on the wiki) in question, either in the header or in the body of your request.

To report vandalism issues, please use Vandalism reports instead.

Bot-reported speedy deletion requests

This section is for reports filed via Kimberley-nia Bot on the SWMT's IRC channel #cvn-sw (bot's irc nick is Dellieplagiat). They are submitted on this subpage. Please watch this page separately if you are a steward, a global sysop, or a local administrator.

It is possible to manually edit this list if you follow the bot's formatting. If you feel a request is inappropriate, please remove the lines containing that request entirely. (Leaving comments, modifying the header line, and striking out reports will confuse the bot.)

Example for the correct formatting:

* {{msd-link|ie.wikipedia|Talk:Europa}}
*: spam - IRC user DerHexer ~~~~~

Properly-filed requests that point to pages that have already been deleted or do not exist will be automatically removed by the bot. Note: It is unnecessary to remove requests for wikis where local admins "can handle it by themselves". If that is really so, the pages will surely be deleted within a small period of time and then be automatically removed from the list by the bot.

la.wiktionary.org, requests

Status:    In progress

At [la.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Recentchangestext] there are requests for words which should be added. Some of those requests got fulfilled, so please remove the words mentioned at [la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Disputatio_MediaWiki:Recentchangestext#request_for_removing].
Maybe it would be better to replace "Rogatus", "Per thema", "Nexus rari", "Describendae" by link to a page like [en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Requested_entries] which can be edited by everyone. A Latin name could be [la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Victionarium:Rogationes] ("Wiktionary:Requests").
Also I'd like to repeat this request: [meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Miscellaneous#la.wiktionary.org.2C_deletion_request] (the one entry now in the deletion category was a miscreated user page and no Wiktionary word entry; deletion category: [la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Categoria:Delenda]).
Thanks for the fulfilment of the last request and thanks in advance regarding this request. -93.196.225.5 15:20, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Broken styles on pswiki

Status:    In progress

As reported on my talk page:

on Pashto Wikipedia there are several problems i.e. The Navboxes are not appearing (see example) and Infoboxes has also technical problems (see example).So therefore please copy the data from this page and paste it into ps:Mediawiki:common.css.Please do it as soon as possible, its very important because all the navbox and infobox are not appearing correctly.--UsmanKhan (talk) 03:51, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Pathoschild 03:55, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Before re-adding, can someone please go through that code and fix it? It was causing quite a few problems, including making text quite a bit larger and breaking some pages (that I saw anyway). Ajraddatz (talk) 04:19, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

kowikt speedy queue

Status:    partially

kowikt speedy request queue has backlog. kowikt has no local sysop. Please clean it up. --Thswnstjr123 (talk) 00:47, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there is a local sysop. --Stryn (talk) 05:30, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I pinged him to do this task, so we will wait for a moment for a likely reaction because he seems very busy. Should we mark this as not done? or Will be locally Handled?. Regards--Grind24 (talk) 19:25, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted some of these pages, the most obvious cases, because the local sysop is not active since 2015/05/11. I leave the rest of the pages for the local sysop because of his better knowledge of the language and local policies.--Syum90 (talk) 11:06, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Import

Status:    Done

Please import the page w:de:Wikipedia:Bearbeitungskonflikt to Help:Edit conflict/de. Thanks, Impériale (talk) 20:33, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Or should it be imported to Mediawiki? --Impériale (talk) 21:38, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Impériale: Hi, import pages to Meta is a task for local admins, please make your request at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. To request an import to MediaWiki go to mw:Project:Requests. Reagrds.--Syum90 (talk) 12:46, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Vogone: Thanks, I've learned something today.--Syum90 (talk) 14:04, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not. Local admins cannot import from dewiki. Vogone (talk) 12:56, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are four "importers" at Meta who have the importupload right, but I don't see any reason to request one of them to do it rather than have a Steward do it. QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:09, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have imported it to Help:Bearbeitungskonflikt. I can't move it to Help:Edit conflict/de as a page already exists there. So passing the request to a local admin... QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:16, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Stryn (talk) 15:34, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
