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.

Remové info for user Page

[edit]

Hello, Geo23 requested on the IRC help channel that his name be removed from Meruleh's user page, as he never helped or advised Meruleh. Althair (talk) 21:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't Geo23 remove their name from Meruleh's user page if they do not wish to be named? It doesn't feel right for an admin to make an removal like that when the request isn't coming from the user himself and when there is a lot of drama surrounding the situation Meruleh is involved in. Ternera (talk) 22:02, 16 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
How about we pass this ask on to @Meruleh: who can edit their own page? — xaosflux Talk 22:09, 16 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
cc @Sonoko Konishi:, since Meruleh has apparently lost access to her main account due to 2FA issues. //shb (tc) 00:08, 17 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ban local: Meruleh

[edit]

I hereby submit a formal request for the permanent local ban of the user Meruleh for the following reasons:

  1. Manipulating processes and coordinated voting in collaboration with the user Galahad before the steward DerHexer.
  2. Misleading the community by creating sockpuppet accounts and presenting them as separate individuals.
  3. Providing false information on their user page, including references to users they claim not to know (despite evidence to the contrary).
  4. Encouraging hostility and targeted harassment against prominent users such as Jaluj, both on external platforms and their own global user page.

All relevant parties are hereby notified. --45.190.166.24 21:27, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

We don't do local bans on Meta (they would be baseless against guidelines or policies). Furthermore, projects are independent so I see no reason to ban Meruleh for their alleged wrongdoings on foreign wikiprojects. You also did not notify relevant parties.
