This is a messageboard for all administrators.
Instructions
Please 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)

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)

Semi-protection for Wikiquote:SheSaid
I 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
I 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)
Please move Redlinks without a redirect
Hello, this seems to be related to the SheSaid project. Can this be moved under Wikiquote:SheSaid without redirect? MathXplore (talk) 12:30, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Note) The page was deleted but the content was re-posted on the author's talk page. MathXplore (talk) 13:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
I would like to note that a lock evader (c:Category:Sockpuppets of JavadNazari) is making a quoteless page and removing SD tags. Please take care of the page and the IPs if they are not globally blocked. MathXplore (talk) 02:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Done The IPS are all blocked. I deleted the page. Maybe I should have salted it, since it was previously deleted in August, but I did not. Any other admin want to take that step? HouseOfChange (talk) 18:15, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Return of Abdel Nasser Abdel Fattah Mohamed (ANAFM)
I left a message on the talk page of new user अक्षय ऑर्गन (Akshay Organ, says Google Translate) who has been creating articles in English, Hindi, and Farsi about this non-notable Egyptian businessperson. (Also see for example recent additions to trust by article creator.) In February 2024, several now-globally-locked accounts collaborated to add content (now removed, but it was a massive cleanup effort) to Commons, en-wiki, etc. promoting ANAFM. Having been part of that cleanup, and having AfDed the latest ANAFM article on en-wiki, I consider myself involved. Hoping an uninvolved and more experienced admin can help.

- (Note) The page was once deleted but recreated by lock evasion (already reported to the stewards and the user is locked). MathXplore (talk) 09:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know, glad this user has been taken care of. I went through all the user contributions -- not a single useful addition to WQ, so I reverted their various kinds of spam. HouseOfChange (talk) 12:28, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
