Instructions
[edit]Please feel free to report incidents, a complaint about an administrator, or anything you want administrators to be aware of.
Please be aware that these pages aren't the place to bring disputes over content or requests for a mediation between another editor and you — we aren't referees. You are better to talk with that editor by mail or on talk, or ask other editors their opinion on Village pump.
The chief purpose of this page is to allow admins to ask each other for help and/or information, to communicate ideas, and for admin talk to happen.
However, any user of Wikiquote may post here. Admins are not a club of elites, but normal editors with some additional technical abilities. Anyone is free to use it to talk to admins as a group. Please feel free to leave a message.
If you do, please sign and date all contributions, using the Wikiquote special form "~~~~", which translates into a signature and a time stamp automatically.
To request special assistance from an administrator, like deletion, use appropriate pages or tags.
To request assistance from a specific administrator, see [[User talk:Whoever]].
If there is another page which is a more natural location for the discussion of a particular point, please start the discussion there, and only put a short note of the issue, and a link to the relevant location, on this page. Put another way, to the extent possible, discussions are better off held somewhere else, and announced here. This will avoid spreading discussion of one topic over several pages (thereby making them harder to follow), and also reduce the rate of changes to this page.
Pages needing admin intervention:
- Wikiquote:Protected titles
- Wikiquote:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage
- MediaWiki:Bad image list
- MediaWiki:Sitenotice
- MediaWiki:Sitenotice id when you update MediaWiki:Sitenotice, id num needs also to be incrementally grown
- MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist For global blacklisting, go to m:Talk:Spam blacklist instead.
- MediaWiki:Titleblacklist (upper compatible w/ MediaWiki:Usernameblacklist)

Request for admin input
[edit]I am asking if any of the other admins can weigh in on the discussion I had at User_talk:Ficaia#Nigger_(racial_slur). I had also raised a similar issue in the post above that one on their talk page. Basically, it seems that this user (who has been a prolific contributor to the site), has determined that if a "quote" is less than 250 words, even if it represents the entirety of a poem or other work, it is fine to have it all on a page here. I disagree and have tried to point out that WQ is meant to be a collection of selections from works, rather than the full work itself (as that is what Wikisource is for). Other examples of the use of entire (or overly long sections of) poems can be found at the following pages, all created by this same user: Chidiock Tichborne, Robert Hawker (poet), James Clarence Mangan, William Strode (poet), Rachel Annand Taylor, Geoffrey Whitney, George Turberville, and Nicholas Grimald. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:47, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

[edit]173.207.58.96 (talk · contributions)'s edit seemed not so constructive, the pages they created are in bad style and likely some testing? I'm inclined to deleting all the pages they created but waiting for further advice from other sysops. -Lemonaka 02:06, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- I deleted them. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
