Instructions
editPlease 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)

Discussions
I think this list is important but I also feel that it doesn't belong to the mainspace. Where should we move this without a redirect? MathXplore (talk) 22:11, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- In addition, I think SheSaid 2024 Event: African Women Academics also needs a page move without a redirect. MathXplore (talk) 08:00, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
Vandalism. Pinging @Lemonaka: Hide on Rosé (talk) 09:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
تهاني_الهاشمي must be renamed in English
editBut should we leave a redirect or not? Do we accept non-Romanized redirects? MathXplore (talk) 11:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- If this page were to stay, yes it should be renamed - but I have just nominated it for proposed deletion because this person does not appear to meet notability standards. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:45, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I moved it to Thawrat Hawamida. It still seems delete-able to me. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:51, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Protection and block request
editI am requesting that the Beauty and the Beast (1991 film) be temporarily protected because it has been subject to strange edits such as this. I also would like to suggest a ban for the IP behind these edits in question; it was last blocked for a week for similar edits on the exact same page. 03isrflo62410 (talk) 01:13, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- The diff you linked is in principle either making a quotation accurate or adding inaccurate information and new information to a quotation. I don't have a copy of this film in front of me, so I'll assume good faith here that the diff is making an inaccurate quotation. That is a problem. Your edit summaries are inappropriate. You have pursued this at Wikiquote:Vandalism in progress where I asked you to provide diffs that actually constitute vandalism rather than just edits that you disagree with. This is maybe a little odd or needlessly detailed, but it is not like the other diff that is (ostensibly) making an inaccurate quotation. As I already wrote at Vandalism in progress, it's best to try to resolve this on the talk page. There has been one post to Talk:Beauty and the Beast (1991 film) and it was 14 years ago.
- I appreciate that you want the page to be as good as it can be, but I'm not convinced that you're going about it the best way possible. I will defer to any other admin who wants to protect the page and that's a perfectly fine approach, but if it's just protected for x weeks, what do you think will be different later? Do you think this IP editor will change his mind? Just give up and stop editing? It would be best if you can collaborate to make the page better. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:58, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
This page is made as a subpage but there is no parent page. This page should be moved to A WISH TOO FAR! (NBC Original Airing, 04/09/2001) (subpage directory removed) without a redirect. MathXplore (talk) 07:25, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Done deleted as a copyvio and if it's not a collection of quotations. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello, an IP editor seems to be protesting the block. Please have a look at their message. If this is not the acceptable way to use talk pages, then I think talk page access should be removed. MathXplore (talk) 05:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Lemonaka: as blocking admin. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:33, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @KoavfReplied. -Lemonaka 03:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection for Wikiquote:SheSaid
editI think adding semi-protection to prevent accidental edits, vandalism, etc. would be needed here since it is a highly visible project page. What do our admins think about this? MathXplore (talk) 13:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
I am requesting temporary protection be applied to this page because it has subject to edits such as this. 03isrflo62410 (talk) 14:52, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Done - reverted change and added temporary protection to the page. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:57, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Multiple pages deleted, user blocked short term
editI want to call others' attention to this post on my talk: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User_talk:Koavf#c-Your_Friendly_Neighborhood_Sociologist-20241011223000-Koavf-20241011181200
In short, someone using en.wq as a mouthpiece for lo-level bigotry and attack pages. I'm posting for visibility and if anyone wants to review my judgement, I am happy to provide undeleted pages. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:19, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
