tried that, and regular #wikipedia - no takers.

I could see someone knocking, entering, handling business, and promptly leaving.

I don't have nearly enough history to become an admin

Then how did you get OTRS access? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Typically using the !admin stalkword in #wikipedia or #wikipedia-en is your best bet, I think. I think you're also more likely to get a response if you indicate what you're looking for help with. "I need an admin," may be less effective than "I need an admin to block a vandal," or "I need an admin to help with an OTRS ticket. Can PM." Some people want to know what they're getting into, or maybe it just gets their attention better; I couldn't say for sure, it's just a trend I've noticed, off and on. There was a #wikimedia-admin channel at some point, designed to be a one-stop-shop for admins from all Wikimedia projects; not sure if it's still active. -Luna _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

But it still leads to off-wiki communications, so it's no more or less transparent than going on IRC and private messaging the first admin to respond. ~Mark Ryan _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
