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.

Cross-wiki requests
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

Status:    Done

More cross-wiki abuse, especially on en.wiki, sv.wiki, and the Simple Wikipedia. This appears to be the same LTA who was active on the range last year. This person has been engaging in serious cross-wiki vandalism for more than a year now, including the addition of obscene, NSFW images, and also imitating IPhonehurricane95 & Lightning Sabre (the new "UnderArmourKid" LTA)'s 9/11 imagery vandalism. Please re-instate another Global IP Rangeblock for at least 1 year. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 23:21, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruslik0, Stryn, and Wim b: Can someone please reblock this IP range? The LTA has returned, months after the first 6-month Global Rangeblock expired. Please also run a sleeper check, since they may have created sock accounts. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 23:21, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global block for LTA 80.223.94.0/24

User User:Risto_hot_sir and a series of sock accounts are all globally locked. Example diff where the IP admits they are Risto_hot_sir. IPs in this range regularly acknowledge they are this user, in persistent efforts to argue that they are being victimized by admins and stewards. Here's a diff expressing their intent to continue socking, quote "create new accounts to make the necessary edits ... it's fun to receive friendly welcoming messages" [for each new account]. They declare "From now on it's the question of freedom of speech" apparently expressing crusading motivation to persistently sock, as a form of fighting back against the evil conspiracy of censorship.

I reviewed the xwiki-contribs for range 80.223.94.0/24. I only found a single edit that was not a clear match this user, and that edit was over a decade ago. (07 Jan 2010.) It appears that there would be no collateral damage in blocking this range for a significant time span. I expect nothing less will deter this individual. Alsee (talk) 06:23, 6 January 2021 (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 -->

Debatable. They still have thousands of live edits. @Sciencia58: is warned: any further vandalism as the ones mentioned above will cause the lock of their account. --Vituzzu (talk) 17:22, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
