✓ Done for six months. Abzeronow (talk) 21:33, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Djeidudj

I have blocked Djeidudj for 6 months for continually making deletion requests that just amount to "this offends me," and in at least one case repeating the same DR on a slightly different "this offends me" rationale immediately after it was kept. I don't do a ton of blocking, and if anyone thinks this is too long or too short, feel free to weigh in. - Jmabel ! talk 05:50, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotect Request File:Flag of Kosovo.svg

I'm unclear as to why this was protected in the first place and though it says it is semi protected it has been indefinitely fully protected. The file needs some code reduction. I'm happy to do so but currently cannot. SVG flag maker (talk) 07:00, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is like the third time you make this request. You can upload the proposed file under another name, then ask it to be merged, if an admin agrees to. Thanks. Bedivere (talk) 07:06, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyberwolf, there's a known bug in auditor were if you report a user from their talk page, it won't link it properly in the report. I'd recommend using XReport. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 17:34, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I support a NOT HERE block. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 17:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you i think i know what’s wrong with auditor also Cyberwolf (talk) 17:51, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you could fix it, I would be forever grateful. I'm still going to recommend Xreport, especially for global reports. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 17:57, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yep i just need an admin who can implement the changes Cyberwolf (talk) 18:01, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Boldy pinging AntiCompositeNumber, as a technical admin. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 18:02, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
MediaWiki talk:Gadget-Adiutor-AIV.js#Line 239 Here Cyberwolf (talk) 18:15, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks :3 I tracked most of the issues down to a missing action which blanks the prefixs Cyberwolf (talk) 18:19, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Would fix my self with a temp interface admin request but due to an isolated incident on en.wp i would get instantly interrogated or shu’ed away Cyberwolf (talk) 18:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Commons also doesn't normally do temp adminship for any reason. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 18:44, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
