Could someone block this IP please? They've been vandalizing old wrestling PPVs for days by changing the results of matches. This is the 3rd or 4th time they've been reported to AIV but they have still escaped a block somehow. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:25, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Please change the page for Joshua L. Pomer, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_L._Pomer, to be entitled "Josh Pomer" instead. No one knows this filmmaker's middle initial, therefore it is difficult to find the page when searching for him. His identifiable name is "Josh Pomer." https://www.thesurfnetwork.com/studio/Josh%20Pomer%20Films Surfwizard (talk) 23:00, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done: page move requests should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Additionally, this is the help desk talk page. You should request this at Talk:Joshua L. Pomer. JJPMaster (she/they) 23:27, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Why is the help desk semi protected I want to ask a question about templates SnowyOhio (talk) 17:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- SnowyOhio the Helpdesk is semi protected due to abusive editing. Ask your question here and it can be moved. TSventon (talk) 17:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
archiving woes
Something (likely on the Mediawiki side) has changed, and the RD/HD archiving bot 'scsbot' has stopped working. For the moment, date headers are not being automatically added to the help desk, and old entries are not being archived. It's not immediately obvious what changed or what went wrong, and unfortunately I'm fantastically busy in real life at the moment, so I'm not sure how soon I'll able to dig in and fix this. All apologies. —scs (talk) 11:29, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
