Take a look at https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/Special:Undelete?target=Talk%3ATranslating_test%2Ffi (for the same reason, I have activated a Guidance filter over there).

==Question==
Hello Justa, I want to express my gratitude for addressing the un-discussed merges. I was somewhat puzzled by these actions, as there hadn't been any prior communication regarding them.

==Piccadilly Appeal==
I rolled back my discussion started about an email due to procedural grounds. Specifically: Piccadilly is not allowed to appeal until November 17th. The appeal may be considered in a Non-Steward initiated discussion that overrides that restriction, but not otherwise.

Can you check the suppression log and verify the actions I just took were correct. TY! [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 23:34, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
:Yes, they were correct. If you see an old hidden user that isn't an attack name or otherwise not suitable for public view, unsuppress it. A person unblocking someone who is blocked by Stewards as an official action would be blocked very quickly nowadays.
