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.

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 .
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 103.60.175.0/24

Status:    On hold

Does not appear to be a webhost or open proxy, to both me and Dane. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've come to the same conclusion. Done and @Elton: FYI. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@AmandaNP: I've removed the local Meta-Wiki block accordingly. I'm now curious to what caused this false positive which lead to blocks still active on five other projects, specially enwiki. I personally don't think 103.60.175.0/24 is OP or webhost (after further review), but was led to error by stalktoy results. I would like an explanation from one of you, if you don't mind, to ensure mistakes like this don't happen again in the future. PS: I've set the request 'on hold' only to give you time to reply before this is archived. Thank you in advance. — Elton (talk) 04:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Honestly, I don't know where the evidence first came from to make the block which renders me unable to comment. I mean I could be wrong, but if we are going to get any clarity on this, @ST47 and Dane: would be the two to ping, as they are on a higher skill level than I am with this. I have a feeling though that some website/script that detects proxies may be the cause. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:46, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Status:    Done

Long-term abuse. Nenoniel. Estrellato (talk) 17:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Has this one edited recently? Asking because I can't see anything in GUC or ST since nine days ago (and this also seems to be a dynamic mobile IP). EPIC (talk) 17:25, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, they haven't but Nenoniel has a history of recycling his old IP's. He uses three different ranges (not proxies) and they are covered in User:Leonidlednev/LTAs/Nenoniel. Estrellato (talk) 17:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
(meaning, usually he doesn't "IP-hop", he just uses three different devices/networks. At least that's what we assume because his IP's, even though dynamic have been reblocked and reblocked in the past, despite being wide ranges. Estrellato (talk) 17:30, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I checked and I do see recent abuse from the /24, so I'm going ahead and blocking that since this IP is dynamic. EPIC (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@EPIC Thanks. Estrellato (talk) 17:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Global unblock for Japanese IPs blocked by EPIC after April 10th

Status:    In progress

Japanese IPs blocked by EPIC after April 10th using methods other than "Open proxy"

It includes Nippon Telegraph and Telephone(NTT), KDDI(include Wi2), and SoftBank, which are major Japanese companies that deal with everything from mobile to building communications, and the lock range is too wide, so it would be better to narrow it down. . Also, I don't think it's necessary to block the Japanese version, major other language versions (such as English), and multilingual projects. --Vcvfou698069 (talk) 22:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

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

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}}

Long-term abuse. Based on this statement they just placed on their talk page shows LTA

“ And before the idiots globally lock me, I was the one who put n-words on the africa page even back in august 2023, and I am not sorry for this, I will do it again this year, the only thing I regret doing in april 2024 is forgetting to fill the technoblade page with "technoblade never dies", so bye losers and I'm getting my revenge this year >:D.”

Cross-wiki abuse. Only enwiki and commons, but they attached on commons 2 months after being indeffed on enwiki, so I figure that absent a lock they'll attach and be promptly blocked on another wiki in the future. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:03, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Global unlock for users locked by EPIC after April 10th

Status:    In progress

Among the users (Japanese and alphanumeric notation) that EPIC locked for simple "Long-term abuse" after April 10th, the following are excluded. User that are locally blocked, have a edit article history of vandalism, include a jawp administrator name, or have a Japanese sex act name.
The reason for not listing them is because there are too many, and to prevent disclosure of the list of organization members and the relationship between real names and handle names.
The scope of locking is so wide that it covers all wikis, so I don't think it's necessary to lock the Japanese version, major other language versions (such as English), and multilingual projects.--Vcvfou698069 (talk) 23:34, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
