This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. You can report vandalism, problematic users, or anything else that needs an administrator's intervention. Do not report child pornography or other potentially illegal content here; e-mail legal-reportswikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergencywikimedia.org.
Vandalism []	User problems []	Blocks and protections []	Other []
Report users for clear cases of vandalism. Block requests for any other reason should be reported to the blocks and protections noticeboard.	Report disputes with users that require administrator assistance. Further steps are listed at resolve disputes.	Reports that do not suit the vandalism noticeboard may be reported here. Requests for page protection/unprotection could also be requested here.	Other reports that require administrator assistance which do not fit in any of the previous three noticeboards may be reported here. Requests for history merging or splitting should be filed at COM:HMS.

Yes, NDG is on e revenge trip here, to wreak havoc on ricardalovesmonuments, pure destructive not legitimate copyvio attacks. If anyone should be reprimanded, it's NDG for his de:WP:BNS Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 14:56, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

That is just more criticism of you, consistent with the above, and the proper link is Special:Diff/1043537451. Please use internal links.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:44, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Den ersten Formfehler hast du begangen @NDG. Das ist kein klarere Fall, daher ist eine Schnelllösung unzulässig und die Entfernung des Schnelllöschantrags korrekt. Nach der Entfernung des Schnelllöschantrags durch @Ricardalovesmonuments hättest du einen regulären Löschantrag stellen müssen. Die hätte sich aber nicht zusammen mit @Sänger auf den edit-war einlassen dürfen. Ich gebe @NDG eine dringende Warnung nicht mehr in uneindeutigen Fällen oder bei Widerspruch Schnelllöschanträge zu stellen. Außerdem einen Hinweis an @Ricardalovesmonuments sich beim nächsten mal nicht auf eine edit-war einzulassen, sondern das Problem auf dem admin board zu melden. Zudem eine Warnung an @NDG und @Sänger auf den Diskussionsstil zu achten.

Damit ist das hier  Done. Alles weitere zum eigentlichen Thema in der Löschdiskussion. GPSLeo (talk) 15:45, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: When changing a category name, instead of moving the existing category, a new category with a different name is created. In this case, the file is moved but the wikidata is not changed, so links from each language version of Wikipedia are broken. In addition, the appropriate parent category for the category is also repeatedly deleted. Edits are difficult to understand due to multiple IP users.
For example:Category:3.7 cm FlaK 18/36/37/43 Category:2 cm Flak 30
