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.

Flickr Review bot is stuck

Hello, the bot seems to be stuck and is not reviewing files. Special:Contributions/FlickreviewR_2 shows last review was "09:09, February 14, 2024" for File:Semana da Música Dois dias depois de ontem 20.11 (2) (52514143306).jpg // sikander { talk } 🦖 16:27, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Zhuyifei1999, the operator, has been inactive since March 2023. If this was caused by the recent infrastructure changes to Toolforge, we might need a new bot. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:31, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Y que se debe hacer o que se necesita ya que el bot esta atascado desde la fecha mencionada Rodolfo Matias (talk) 02:28, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Got a developer to reboot it via IRC but not sure what the issue was, its has already been transferred to the new toolserver a year ago.. Stemoc 15:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

@Stemoc: That's great to hear! Thank you. cc: Ooligan. // sikander { talk } 🦖 16:30, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

New autopatroller protection level displays wrong protection message.

See File:The Chessmaster 2000 floppy.jpg. It's using the "This page is currently protected, and can be edited only by administrators." message. How do we adjust this? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:23, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 01:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! @Lucas Werkmeister, Rillke, and 1989: You're the still-active editors that have worked with that page most recently. Is this something any of you can fix? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 04:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: That’s strange – I see “protected” on the file page itself, but “semi-protected” when I try to edit it. (According to ?uselang=qqx, MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext is used with editprotected in the view action and editautopatrolprotected in the edit action.) Turning the “semi-protected” into something else should be doable (though I’m not sure what the exact phrasing should be), but I have no idea why the view action seems to use the wrong permission… Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 12:51, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

I changed MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext and created Template:Protectedpagetext/PageAutopatrolProtected but the wrong template still shows up. GPSLeo (talk) 13:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Addition: At the view source there is now the correct template. GPSLeo (talk) 13:18, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Not sure why it is resulting to the default. ─ Aafī (talk) 13:51, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

merge and rename

File:OBR Hannvoer 2024e.webm needs to be merged into File:OBR Hannvoer 2024.webm. And File:OBR Hannvoer 2024.webm needs to be renamed to File:OBR Hannover 2024.webm. C.Suthorn (@Life_is@no-pony.farm - p7.ee/p) (talk) 12:16, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

@C.Suthorn: The proper venue for such a request is COM:HMS.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 12:31, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Benutzerverifizierung

Hello everyone, if a user account is verified in the DE-WP and should also be verified here in the Commons - does the person in question turn to this page with the request or somewhere else? Greetings & thanks for your answer! Grizma (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

You'll want to go to Commons:Requests for rights. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:10, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

The question was on account verification presumable for copyright verification not for the confirmed user right. GPSLeo (talk) 20:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Da gibt es keinen richtigen Vorgang für. Die Person muss sich wieder ans Supportteam wenden, dieses mal aber an die permissions-commons@wikimedia.org Adresse. GPSLeo (talk) 20:12, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Danke, GPSLeo! Grizma (talk) 19:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
