Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 23 minutes ago30 comments10 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:

You know the IP address(es) or accounts you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
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}}
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: stewardswikimediaorg

Long-term abuse. ACV. Wüstenspringmaus _talk 15:29, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Are you sure it is them? Their IPs usually geolocate to Australia, this one geolocates to Italy, and they usually don't edit logged out. So I blocked it locally at Wikidata for now. EPIC (talk) 15:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I used another geolocation checker, which I think was wrong. So I withdraw my request. Wüstenspringmaus _talk 16:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Spam / spambot. Just adding random empty lines to different pages on different wikis. Jonteemil (talk) 18:06, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I would generally block this one too, but last edits from this IP seems to have happened a week ago (if I notice correctly)? Also considering that this is a dynamic IP so it's likely assigned to a different person now, and that what appears to be the same person was using the new dynamic IP above). EPIC (talk) 18:10, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okay, gotcha. As long as that IP doesn't spam anymore. Is there some tool that can revert all of its and the other one's edits? Jonteemil (talk) 18:15, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK, marking as withdrawn. Yes, there are some mass rollback scripts (Selective Rollback and Writ Keeper's mass rollback tool for example), so I went ahead and took care of the edits of both of them. EPIC (talk) 18:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

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

Latest comment: just now26 comments10 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-oversightwikimediaorg (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-appealswikimediaorg.

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:

You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
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 -->
*...
Reasons, etc. --~~~~

For many accounts:

=== Global lock for spambots/vandals ===
