Steward requests/Miscellaneous/Header
- If the wiki does have active administrators, file the request with one of them.
- If the wiki has an active editor community, any potentially controversial action (deletion of actual content, edit to a protected page, renaming of a protected page, etc.) should receive consensus from the wiki community before being requested here, and a link should be provided to that consensus in the request.
- For global lock/block requests, file a request at Steward requests/Global.
- For non-controversial deletion requests such as empty page, simple spam or vandalism, and non-controversial or emergency requests to block vandals, spammers or other malicious users, you may use global sysop requests instead.
- If a consensus is considered required to act, similar principles apply as expressed at Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements, and can be used for guidance to how and what should be done at small and medium communities to gain a consensus.
To add a new request, create a new section header at the bottom of the "Manual requests" section using the format below:
=== Very brief description of request here ===
{{Status|In progress}}
Give details about your request here. --~~~~
It is helpful if you can provide a link to the wiki (or the specific page on the wiki) in question, either in the header or in the body of your request.
When reporting cross-wiki vandalism, the following template calls can be used to link to a user's contributions across all Wikimedia content wikis (these are for logged in users and non-logged-in users, respectively):
* {{sultool|Username}}
* {{luxotool|IP.address}}
Template {{LockHide}} can also be used in appropriate cases.
To request approval of OAuth consumers please use {{oauthapprequest}} (see the documentation before using).
Old requests are archived by the date of their last comment.
