Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat

Shortcut:
WM:RFH

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.

Deletion request

Latest comment: 3 days ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Hi,

I'd like to get those pages deleted:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Foundation_Chief_Executive_Officer/sr
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Messages_from_the_Wikimedia_Foundation_Chief_Executive_Officer/sr
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Public_outreach/sr
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_development/sr

They're outdated, nearly untranslated, it's better for them to be deleted at this moment.

Thank you so much! Kizule (talk) 15:43, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Categories should not be deleted if they have content in them. (If you do, FuzzyBot will recreate the page as 0% translated). * Pppery * _{it has begun} 16:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so much for letting me know. I was actually able to take care about them now in this case, therefore, this section is resolved, and there are no actions required. Kizule (talk) 16:16, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Please delete https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Amical_Wikimedia/sr. Reason is that it's full of outdated and machine translations, there won't be time in the near future for fixing it. Kizule (talk) 16:21, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

I actually have a whole batch. It would be nice if some could reach out to me via IRC or email. The easiest thing would be if I could get an administrator right temporarly (for an hour), but I'm fine and without it. Kizule (talk) 16:36, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Reduction of protection of Privacy policy

Latest comment: 10 hours ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The policy has moved to foundationwiki, which means this page is no longer important and high-traffic. It can be reduced to semi-protection. Пусть от победы☆к победе ведёт! 13:50, 18 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

But at the same time it means there is no reason at all to edit it, and hence to reduce the protection. Declined. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 15:38, 18 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 15:38, 18 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
