Wikibooks:Reading room/Administrative Assistance

Welcome to the Administrative Assistance reading room. You can request assistance from administrators for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.

You can deal with most vandalism yourself: fix it, then warn the user. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in #wikibooks (say !admin to get attention).

For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the Assistance Reading Room.

Page merge

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I would appreciate if someone could remove the content in "Louisiana French/Goodbyes" and make the page a redirect to "Louisiana French/Hello and Goodbye" as part of a project overhaul in progress. Thank you in advance! —Monsuu (discuss • contribs) 21:56, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Likewise, please do the same for "Louisiana French/Introduction to Verbs", which is merging into "Louisiana French/Verbs". Thank you again! —Monsuu (discuss • contribs) 00:03, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Request for perm

Hi admins,
I have made a request for a permission at Wikibooks:Requests_for_permissions#TarnishedPath_(discuss_·_contribs_·_count_·_logs_·_block_log_·_rfp_·_rights)_(IP_Block_Exemption). Notifying here as that page doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic (perhaps there should be some sort of merger with other low traffic but similar pages). TarnishedPath^talk 09:39, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Now granted, please see WB:RFP. Codename Noreste (talk) 13:28, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

@Codename Noreste thankyou. I'll give cookbook a recipe for roasted pumpkin soup, hopefully next week. TarnishedPath^talk 13:34, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
