This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. You can report vandalism, problematic users, or anything else that needs an administrator's intervention. Do not report child pornography or other potentially illegal content here; e-mail legal-reportswikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergencywikimedia.org.
Vandalism []	User problems []	Blocks and protections []	Other []
Report users for clear cases of vandalism. Block requests for any other reason should be reported to the blocks and protections noticeboard.	Report disputes with users that require administrator assistance. Further steps are listed at resolve disputes.	Reports that do not suit the vandalism noticeboard may be reported here. Requests for page protection/unprotection could also be requested here.	Other reports that require administrator assistance which do not fit in any of the previous three noticeboards may be reported here. Requests for history merging or splitting should be filed at COM:HMS.

Now, am I sure that all the casings are right? No. But will these help the Prussian Language on Wikicommons? Seems so. Kxeo (talk) 16:22, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done, you may want to translate the Main Page as well. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 18:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

POTY 2023 Round 1 - mass message

As it is now October 1st and POTY has started, could an admin please send this message to these targets? The person who was asked if he could do it just said he never used massmessage so help is needed. Thank you in advance! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 16:15, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@Giles Laurent:  Done. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 17:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@Giles Laurent: however I'm really sorry. I don't know what caused the heading to appear twice? _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 17:02, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Copying the header into the "subject" of Special:MassMessage when it's also embedded on the "page to be sent". Now that classic question of whether to load up AWB to remove it or let it be. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  17:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

jeez. I see, and the messaging tool asks for the subject line (error: the subject line is empty). I have no good experience with AWB and would leave it to others. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 17:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I made a request here. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 17:33, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Edit request MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js

Hi, would somebody with interface-admin rights to add function below to MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js (example diff). Function is for adding a method for removing already queued edits from queue. It would be used in Cat-a-lot.js.

abortPendingRequests: function() {
   apiRequestQueue = [];
},

--Zache (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

@Lucas Werkmeister and Mdaniels5757: this is just pushing edit request up. After the edit is complete, I will update User:Zache/cat-a-lot-edit-libAPI.js to use abortPendingRequests() instead of capturing $.ajax for aborting the edit queue. Another humble request: could the statement, Since the JS edit API module by MW is a joke..., be removed from the header of MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js as deprecated? (Example: diff) It may have been true in 2012, but now it feels like just unnecessary confrontation. --Zache (talk) 12:46, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Renaming a category

Hello. The category Category:Demonstration for Palestine in Barcelona (27 September 2024) was wrongfully/unnecessarily renamed Category:Vaga general per Palestina 2024 (Barcelona), even after Category:Strike for Palestine (27 September 2024) had been renamed Category:Vaga general per Palestina 2024 and then renamed back. Anyways, the problem is now I can't rename the category because the English name is already in use as a redirection. I would kindly ask you to do that for me, if possible and plausible, as per Commons:Categories#Category names and also for homogeneity with other categories under Category:Demonstrations and protests in Barcelona in 2024. -- Brunnaiz (talk) 16:19, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
