Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat (at Meta-Wiki only)

Archives (current)→

Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

• Luiysia (talk • contribs • User rights • global contributions • CentralAuth • block log)

Reason for request

Requesting the Event Registration tool for myself as an admin of the Wikimedians of Chicago User Group as I'd like to explore the CampaignEvents extension and see whether the Programs & Events Dashboard might be able to support the user group's activities. Specifically interested in the § Example use cases "a Wiki contributor hosts an in-person meetup at a library and invites anyone to join to contribute to Wikimedia projects together", which we have done before. Also including Luiysia to my request as she primarily initiates events for the group and might also make good use of the tool.

Criteria met

• No active blocks: No active blocks.
• Global edits: 7,465 (Dan Leonard), 1,142 (Luiysia)
• Additional Criteria: Admins of Wikimedians of Chicago User Group, which has received WMF grants and organizes events.
