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:
  • 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.

Event organizer for User:Mel61226

Global user: Mel61226 (talk • contribs • global contributions • CentralAuth • block log) Reason for request: Je suis organisateur d'événements au Gabon, nous aimerions utiliser cet outil pour les prochains événements à organiser. WPWP, Wiki Loves Monuments

Criteria met: * No active blocks: Aucun

Global edits: 178

Additional Criteria: Aucun Mel61226 (talk) 19:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Question: , since our policy requires at least 500 edits, in order to ensure you have some editing skills on projects, could you add something about that? May be you have edited under another username? Thanks, --M/ (talk) 08:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Mel61226? AramilFeraxa (Talk) 09:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

per Meta:Event organizers it's 300 edits (which are almost fulfilled) and that's just one of multiple optional requirements (they just need to meet one of those). This request appears to meet the criterion "plan to organize a Wikimedia event"? --Johannnes89 (talk) 12:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Interwiki map update

Could an admin please handle the requests at Talk:Interwiki map? I've done most of them but the rest are things proposed by me which means I shouldn't implement them per my reading of Meta:Administrators#Involved administrators. Thanks. Note the process for handling these has recently changed - edits are now made to a JSON page at interwiki map/list. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 18:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

I think I've done most of it. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 21:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Remaining open requests

Talk:Interwiki map#Fandom - lots of discussion, needs an admin to assess consensus.

Talk:Interwiki map#Several frequently used sites on Wikimedia Commons - nothing technically blocking it but the relevant agreement to do it was reached very recently so I think it's best to wait longer before editing the map itself.

Talk:Interwiki map#Miraheze - on hold pending upstream stuff I think, but I haven't been following this closely.

Talk:Interwiki map#Wikimedia API Portal - on hold pending upstream stuff.

Talk:Interwiki map#shoutwiki - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action

Talk:Interwiki map#wmve - on hold pending upstream stuff

Talk:Interwiki map#aquariumwiki - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action

Talk:Interwiki map#git, Talk:Interwiki map#zum - largely theoretical and don't need to be handled now

Talk:Interwiki map#aew - will eventually need an admin but not ready for action yet

Talk:Interwiki map#Wikimedia Quality - ready for admin action IMO

Talk:Interwiki map#dict, dictionary - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action
