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.

Continued discussion about filter 131 being set to just disallow

The prior discussion is located here, which was archived despite having no further replies.

The warning does not make sense if the changes on various wikis in question (which are mostly blanking or disruptive changes in articles) are going to be prevented anyway. As Leaderboard said Should that not be done by the disallow template? and on en.wikibooks, the disallow template (wikibooks:MediaWiki:abusefilter-disallowed) explicitly tells users what to do (and we try not to have warning + disallow filters), I agree with them as the disallow template provides information on reporting an FP on any wiki, and some wikis do not use a custom warning and/or disallow template.

One more question: is the blanking tag (in addition to being set to disallow) necessary? Thanks. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 19:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
