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)

[edit]This administrator has been missing for 2 years. Should we alert possible removal per m:AAR? MathXplore (talk) 09:15, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. If you don't want to, then ping me to do it. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:37, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Koavf: I think a current active admin should handle this case. MathXplore (talk) 06:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection has been requested here. Please have a look at the article's history. MathXplore (talk) 06:03, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Done —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:52, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello, please move this page to the right name without leaving a redirect. MathXplore (talk) 02:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what the request is. As I see the page now, it has identical content to Aurélien Agbénonci and they were both created by the same user, so there's no potential attribution issue. Our proper sandbox is at Wikiquote:Sandbox, so I'm deleting this. Thanks for spotting it. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't notice that the page is duplicated. I agree to the deletion. MathXplore (talk) 08:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Is this an acceptable username? MathXplore (talk) 11:31, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
205.250.225.143
[edit]Please, block this IP: 205.250.225.143. I'd appreciate that. Cysquatch (talk) 04:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done - blocked for two weeks initially - will keep an eye on this one once that expires. ~ UDScott (talk) 12:29, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
This page has no quotes but the author is repeating tag removal. Please delete the page. MathXplore (talk) 06:01, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done by someone else. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:26, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
SheSaid entries made in userspace
[edit]I found that some SheSaid participants have made their submissions in their userspace. Please see special:permalink/3577235 and special:permalink/3577229. Can an admin move these to the mainspace without redirects? MathXplore (talk) 13:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
