User: Leaderboard[edit]

Requested user-rights: Administrator.

I often notice pages (especially userpages) which contain spam content or otherwise clearly unsuitable for MediaWiki. Currently I need to request speedy on the talk page (can't do it on userpage as I get hit by the abusefilter). I would appreciate if I could receive admin rights here so that I can do that myself.

I also plan to import some of the abusefilters from the English Wikibooks (where this type of spam is combated very well).

Note that I'm also a sysop on the English Wikibooks.

Thanks in advance. Leaderboard (talk) 21:51, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Abusefilter/57 is the problem. Membership in the autopatrol group would suffice to allow editing these pages. I just wanted to point this out, I'm not against the request for adminship. Additional abusefilters would probably be nice considering the amount of vandalism that we get here. --MGChecker (talk) 13:30, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've waited for over 5 weeks, but no response. Can someone please grant my request? Pinging @Krenair: and @Nemo bis: to nudge them to this. Thanks. Leaderboard (talk) 16:38, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
