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.

No data in page linked to by Wikidata

[edit | edit source]

The page, OpenSSH: Third Party Utilities has no data and thus should not be linked to from Q139625509 How can the link be deleted? Thanks. Larsnooden (discusscontribs) 05:06, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Same for Q139611668 and Q139611580. All three links should be deleted / removed as the destination pages in the en.wikibook do not have any data but instead normal prose. - Larsnooden (discusscontribs) 05:15, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Can't log in :(

[edit | edit source]

Xania here. I am logged in on Wikipedia but can't log in here even though it has always been automatic when switching between the two. Wikibooks seems to want me to authenticate myself via my authenticator app which I have not done before. Allows me to also use a recovery code which I do not have. How do I log in guys? ~2026-28255-89 (talk) 18:15, 10 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I believe it might be the CheckUser permission requiring 2FA (on parity with bureaucrats, interface administrators, and oversighters) as that group has restrictions. You might need to temporarily request to the stewards to remove CU access from your account to enable 2FA; however, since this project only has 2 CUs, MarcGarver's CU rights would be temporarily suspended.

Thanks, I've left a notice on the Steward's board.--~2026-28255-89 (talk) 18:59, 10 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
This happened before when your CU rights were removed because you hadn't enrolled in 2FA. I presume you must have enrolled to get the CU rights back. Are you really sure you've never used any authenticator here? MarcGarver (discusscontribs) 11:49, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
