This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

If you are here because you have been affected by a global block, please see Global blocks/FAQ for more information about global block and routes to appeal.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses; and (un)locks apply to global accounts.

Meta-Wiki requests


Requests for global (un)block

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.
Please also review Global blocking . Only IP addresses can be globally blocked at this moment. Please see #Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding if your request involves an account.
Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses that cause disruption on Meta should be reported at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat instead of here so that they can be blocked locally.
Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP. Saying an IP is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You know the IP address(es) you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
  2. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
  3. For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP, if any.

To make a request for the address(es) to be blocked or unblocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address|Some IP address]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|IP address}}
Description, evidence, diffs, etc. --~~~~
When requesting that your IP be unblocked, note that stewards need to know your IP address to even consider a request.
To find your IP, please visit https://www.whatismyip.com/
You are not required to disclose your IP in public - you may make requests privately to any steward on IRC or by email at: stewards@wikimedia.org

Looking at, I do see that the issues are mainly local to kowiki. Why can't this be just handled with a local block for now? The IPs appears to be on a dynamic range and I am not sure blocking them is of much use, except for a short term following the event. --Jyothis (talk) 23:28, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My bad, was looking at the wrong spot - they are static IPs, but still, can this be handled locally for now? --Jyothis (talk) 23:36, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Review whether we can global block 95.79.128.0/17

Status:    withdrawn

I am seeing a whack of spam from the range 95.79.128.0/17 Russian provider across multiple big wikis (Commons/Meta/enWP) plus some others. From my checks of the wikis I cannot see evident good contributions by IP addresses. I think that it would be worth a wider investigation among your colleagues and interwiki checkusers to see if we can globally block it. I am testing a softblock on the range at Commons to see how many complaints may occur, and I think that a wider soft block could be advantageous.  — billinghurst sDrewth 14:42, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had already commented here, but I must have forgotten. I do believe there is too much collateral damage when blocking this, specifically on ru-projects. Savhñ 23:26, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, had a guess that it may be an issue. Manage at local wikis is the response then.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:39, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding

Note that global blocking currently only applies to IPs, due to a technical limitation. If you wish to request a named account for global [un]locking, please request a global [un]lock here instead. Be sure to follow the instructions below:
  • Your request might be rejected if it doesn't include the necessary information.
  • Warning! This page is publicly viewable. If the account name is grossly insulting or contains personal information please contact a steward privately in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect or email your request to the stewards VRT queue at stewards-oversight@wikimedia.org (direct wiki interface) but do not post it here. Thanks.
  • Warning! This is not the place to ask for locks based on your opinion that someone is disruptive. Global locks are used exclusively against vandalism and spam, not because of content disputes, not because you think that someone deserves to be globally blocked. In such cases, you should ask for local blocks at appropriate places.
  • If you are globally locked, you should appeal your lock to stewards-appeals@wikimedia.org.

Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that:

  1. You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
  2. You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
  3. You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect, especially for account names which will be hidden, or for urgent requests.
To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked
Copy one of the codes below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked.
=== Global lock/unlock for Foo ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
* {{LockHide|username}}
* {{LockHide|username|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the name to be visible on this page -->

Global lock for Marrovi

Status:    Not done

This request complies with all the points marked in the procedure.

Cross wiki abuse. The user is permanent ban in Spanish, German and Nahuatl Wikis.

He was blocked by (fraudulent voting in 2013.

Two times he was blocked by evasion

He was also blocked in Italian for one year, in 2013; and Incubator for one month, in 2015.

He has accounts mainly in English, Portuguese, Galician, Ladino, Catalan, Italian, French, and other small wikis; of course also in Meta, Incubator and Commons.

1) Stop bad editions. He has a disruptive behavior (see his talk page in Spanish, Nahuatl, English, Commons, and his answers up other users). He consistently tries to put his personal interpretations with plagiarized, wrong or unreferenced information, on this way making [1]hoaxes.

2) He tried testing the skills of Sysops detecting or allowing his hoaxes,[2][3][4][5] (content and references no is the same) which it is completely vandalism. All his information was deleted from the Spanish Wikipedia; however, he continues to defend it and writing the same ideas on other small wikis.

3) He just makes a long “index” (entries no content). He wants to be recognized for his activity in quantity and not quality. Examples are edits made in Huiquipedia by template (2008, someone’s he wanted to hide), and recently in Catalan Wikipedia and Ladino Wikipedia (see his talk page there), continues his wrong way to work. The comparison of the same item in different languages so reveals, he is implementing with simple information, then bit by bit, he extends his personal interpretation. More vandalism.

4) Here in Meta his main focus has been to attack Sysops and users who want to correct his texts. He is making a long wrong request only to hurt and recriminate people. He tries to show personal data’s from users, this way doing violations of the privacy policy. This user also harasses and threatens contributors to the projects, on- and off-wiki. His actions are really revenge that previously he said.

He was advised about his disruptive behavior many times, [6] [7] and he didn't attend ever. He doesn’t show interest to do any change. He has had ample opportunity to appropriately address concerns, and he has chosen to not participate properly in projects.

Finally, he calls me “swine” (marrano), “fascist,” “racist”, “swindler”, “one monster who don’t deserve mercy and forgiveness” (que no merezco piedad y perdón). I ask you, minimum, that he cross out all his Requests for comment and this way we stop his editions.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Akapochtli (talk) --Ks-M9 [disc.] 16:22, 13 November 2016 (UTC).[reply]

This user should be globally banned, not simply locked. Ruslik (talk) 17:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm declining without prejudice on the merits of the request because this is not the proper venue as you've invocked the global ban policy and that requires a requests for comments. —MarcoAurelio 14:16, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
