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.

 Comment no activity since 7 May 2026, which appears to be before any warnings were given. I don't object to a block, but I'm not sure one is needed. - Jmabel ! talk 00:51, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protect Category:CommonsRoot

Can an admin please semi-protect Category:CommonsRoot? Since November last year, the page has been unintentionally edited by newcomers at least once per month. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 00:49, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Already limited to autoconfirmed. Should this be raised to something higher? - Jmabel ! talk 04:58, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Apologies, didn't realise it is semi-protected already. I agree it should then raised to autropatrol-protected. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 09:12, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Please block the sock

Can someone please block Bhartiyanaagrik (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions). He is a sock of 8diq as proved by CU on enwiki. Please see global account information. (Not informing the user on their TP knowingly bcoz there is no need). Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:27, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

@Lymantria, incase CU tag is needed. Thanks. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:29, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done Blocked. @Shaan Sengupta: Please give a link to SPI when you report some socks. Thanks, Yann (talk) 14:24, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

@Yann, I didn't give SPI link bcoz I couldn't find one (probably there is no SPI for this sockfarm on Commons). The last time I caught 8diq's socking I made a report on COM:AN. This is the reason I referred Global account info and enwiki. Anyways, thanks for the advice. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 14:38, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

On a side note, the uploads are all ok to host, but need a lot of fixes and cleanups. I've done it in some of 'em. Anyone (preferably from India as there maybe some local only sites) interested can take over from here. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 14:49, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
