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.

Request Indefinite semi-protection for File:Ayane Fumihiro sucks (Profile picture draw).jpg

Rationale: Excessive upload vandalism Nvdtn19 (talk) 18:45, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done. Was deleted 8 times. --Achim55 (talk) 18:49, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

To be honest, I'd rather not protect the file page. At least whenever it is reuploaded, those watching the page will know. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 05:55, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

I think we will have other ways to detect LTA, not necessarily depending on that page. Nvdtn19 (talk) 15:56, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Protection for subtitle pages

Can admins please add indefinite semi-protection to these subtitle pages?

• TimedText:Rock My BFDI.webm.en.srt
• TimedText:Rock My BFDI.webm.vi.srt

These pages have been recreated multiple times by an LTA to vandalise. I don't think there is a need for these pages since the video doesn't have audio anyways. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 20:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done - Jmabel ! talk 05:01, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

User's first edit was to create a user page declaring themselves to be a blocked sockpuppet. Call me suspicious, but... well, that seems a little suspicious. Omphalographer (talk) 04:21, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done: Blocked indef per c:Category:Sockpuppets of Noah A21 North Bay. --Achim55 (talk) 09:16, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Please protect my talk page

w:en:WP:LTA/DTHD is harassing me cross-wiki. Please semi-protect my talk page here on Commons. Thank you! SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 07:12, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done: Semi-protected for 1 month. --Achim55 (talk) 07:44, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
