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:

Forum post disallowed

I try to make an edit at User talk:Bodhisattwa but spam filters rejected me.

Please verify that my edit was good and insert that edit. I will also be grateful if some administrator in good standing takes a screenshot of the social-media-post provided in my post for posterity. 2405:201:8011:9828:F101:876D:2E8B:E6AF 19:42, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Please just omit the link to facebook, and you should be right to add your text  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

That link is THE evidence. 2405:201:8011:9828:F101:876D:2E8B:E6AF 06:49, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Billinghurst I am facing the same issue, again. See the latest edit at the same talk-page which was blocked; it has no link. 2405:201:8011:9828:F101:876D:2E8B:E6AF 14:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
