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.

Remové info for user Page

Hello, Geo23 requested on the IRC help channel that his name be removed from Meruleh's user page, as he never helped or advised Meruleh. Althair (talk) 21:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Shouldn't Geo23 remove their name from Meruleh's user page if they do not wish to be named? It doesn't feel right for an admin to make an removal like that when the request isn't coming from the user himself and when there is a lot of drama surrounding the situation Meruleh is involved in. Ternera (talk) 22:02, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

How about we pass this ask on to @Meruleh: who can edit their own page? — xaosflux ^Talk 22:09, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

cc @Sonoko Konishi:, since Meruleh has apparently lost access to her main account due to 2FA issues. //shb (t • c) 00:08, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

RFC FYI

A RFC to opt meta-wiki in to the globalsysop set has been opened at Meta:Requests for comment/Allow global sysops on Meta. Interested contributors are invited to comment there. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:14, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Block 2001:D08:1206:E2F8:1:0:2C79:5772

This user added a link to a site I can guarantee is adult content or even pornographic, and I really could go listing attributes. Please block for 72 hours (3 days). Faster than Thunder (talk) 18:42, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting, but this happened this morning and is therefore Stale. TenWhile6 18:48, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

But the link was to a very inappropriate site, so I don't think it matters whether it was very recent or not, as long as things happened within a day of the report. Faster than Thunder (talk) 20:49, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Disagree; blocks are supposed to be preventative, not punitive. If they continue, please rereport, but at the moment, nothing needs to be done. Closing as Not done. //shb (t • c) 23:33, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
