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: 8 minutes ago27 comments13 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

Cross-wiki abuse. Blocked on enwiki for vandalism and they're now continuing it on Simple, Thanks. –Davey2010Talk 17:00, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is this surely vandalism? I see some questionable edits, but they don't seem to be bad-faith. EPIC (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@EPIC, Predominately they were adding content without adding spaces and they were randomly removing spaces [21], [22][23], I warned them specifically asking them to stop[24] yet they continued [25][26][27],
I don't understand how you can add content without any spacing or why you'd even remove spacing so I still believe they were trolling but I do agree some of their edits now appear to be okay which baffles me even more, They made 3 edits at enwiki with no/removed spacing too [28][29][30], Once or twice I can understand but how do you do this 9 times ?,
Meh I still believe they were trolling and should be blocked for it but you could AGF and argue they're just a newbie making newbie mistakes, Anyway they've since stopped so I'd be happy-but-not-happy for this to be marked as not done and will report locally if it continues, Just a shame as if it continues on another project then that's their problem but so be it, Anyway have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 12:11, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Permanet not one week --Milicevic01 (talk) 11:45, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Comment Comment as the locking steward; My rationale for globally blocking for one week and not permanently was that the account has been registered since 2022 with 865 global edits, and the machine translations were only relatively recent and wasn't something that by itself was enough for a permanent block to me. On most wikis one would not immediately permanently block for machine translations either, unless it is persistent or severe, or if there have also been other violations. With that said, the account was globally blocked for a week with all of the relevant translations nuked, and I think that might be enough for now. Should they continue after this short-term block, I think we could indeed consider a longer term, or permanent, global block/lock. EPIC (talk) 19:16, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

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

Latest comment: 56 minutes ago52 comments21 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-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 -->
