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 or accounts; and (un)locks apply to global accounts.

Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 5 years ago 8 comments5 people in discussion
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 .
Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address or account is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses or accounts 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 or account. Saying an IP or account 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) or accounts 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 or account, if any.

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

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) or account(s) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address or account|Some IP address or account]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|IP address/username}}
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

Global unblock for 35.187.132.197

Status: In progress

35.187.132.197 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date (alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye This is the Google Proxy IP one among its Range and used for google hosted bots. My BOT is running on google server and this IP falls in the range 35.187.0.0/16. Due to the Global Block, My NeechalBOT is unable to perform various task in Indian Wikipedias. This should be unblocked for logged account and block only for anonymous edits. This is the third time that google ips were blocked even for logged accounts. can you please do needful as soon as possible? @Jon Kolbert:-Neechalkaran (talk) 08:01, 29 July 2019 (UTC) Reply

@Neechalkaran: A proxy is still a proxy. You should ask for local and global IP block exempt. Masum Reza ☎ 09:15, 29 July 2019 (UTC) Reply
@Masumrezarock100: Thanks for the quick reply. As said, IPs are dynamic from google end. I can't request exempt. BOT runs in multiple projects so I can't request local exempt. That was the reason I suggest to block only anonymous edits. But I would be happy If you let me know the procedure to get global excemption for my BOT account (NeechalBOT) irrespective of IPs?-Neechalkaran (talk) 09:40, 29 July 2019 (UTC) Reply
@Neechalkaran: Then why not run it on Wikimedia toolforge server? Masum Reza ☎ 10:06, 29 July 2019 (UTC) Reply
@Masumrezarock100:1. The BOT has been developed in Google Apps Script & Toolforge doesn't support. 2. I am not that much expert in linux environment to set BOT. 3. This was running for past 5 years in multiple tasks and multiple projects and now it is difficult to migrate. 4. It uses the Google products like spreadsheet, email triggers, and other cloud services. -Neechalkaran (talk) 11:27, 29 July 2019 (UTC) Reply

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

Latest comment: 5 years ago 36 comments22 people in discussion
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-stewards connect 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.
Temporary accounts (those with username format ~20##-#####) can not be globally locked. See #Requests_for_global_(un)block instead for them.
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-stewards connect , 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 -->

    • Socks of Wonderfool, a former admin who became a cross-wiki vandal years ago. This LTA is known for numerous forms of cross-wiki disruption, including impersonating other admins, gaming the system to obtain admin rights, and disrupting admin-related pages. Please check for sleeper accounts and also Globally Block his IPs (set to anon-only), since he is still socking cross-wiki and using sleeper accounts.

    • Please be more careful with range blocks - I was just caught in one related to this case, and couldn't even ask for unblock on my talk page. I had to go to another wiki to ask for help. DuncanHill (talk) 21:42, 24 July 2019 (UTC) Reply
    To be clear, whenever I request rangeblocks, they are almost always anon-only blocks, meaning that registered users like you shouldn't be affected. If I request a hardblock (anon editors + registered users), I will specify it, and I rarely make such requests, except in extreme circumstances (such as an LTA trying to compromise accounts from their IP).
