Protect Button not showing

How Come the protect button is not showing, is this a glitch? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kernel123 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kernel123 You are not an administrator here or on any other Wikimedia projects. Only administrators can protect pages. Sam Walton (talk) 23:16, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change the sentence about the purpose of hidden filters to:

Hidden filters are private to make it harder for abusive users to learn how to circumvent them, and thus their contents should not be shared publicly. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 16:10, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How do I erase my wikipedia talk history

Hi. I haven't used this account for some time and that said i've written alot of wacky things on the talk pages of some articles when I was much younger. I was quite the rascal back then. Any input on how I erase my Wikipedia talk history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graylandertagger (talk • contribs)

Graylandertagger. Hey there. Unfortunately for transparency reasons we do not permit mass erasing of talk page comments. Some things that are allowed are blanking your user talk page (User talk:Graylandertagger), and/or starting a new account (see WP:CLEANSTART). Hope that helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:20, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you though. I did write alot of things that have left me with regret that i'd rather not discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graylandertagger (talk • contribs)

It is usually used for specific content disputes, edit warring, or disruptive editing involving confirmed editors." in the "Extended confirmed protection" section.

Help please

There is a user named Mangolia677 and he won't stop removing my edits, or harassing me, and other users on Wikiepidia. I would appreciate some help to keep him from doing it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riley Paul Turner (talk • contribs) 23:49, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Riley Paul Turner: You are on the wrong page. As noted at the top, this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Administrators' guide page. Have you tried asking Mangolia677 directly, on their talk page? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried and he won't listen. Now he's blocking me for no reason. Riley Paul Turner (talk) 00:12, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Riley Paul Turner: You claim I've tried and he won't listen - it seems that you have not tried, since there is no evidence that you have ever posted at User talk:Magnolia677. As for Now he's blocking me for no reason. - although your block log has three entries, being two blocks and one unblock, none of them show Magnolia677 against them; and in any case, Magnolia677 is not an administrator, so does not have the ability to block anybody. But since you have not made any suggestions about improving the page Wikipedia:Administrators' guide, this is still the wrong page for your issue. If you want to appeal a block, read Wikipedia:Appealing a block. Otherwise, read Wikipedia:Dispute resolution carefully, and follow the advice there. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
