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

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

Open proxy, https://ipcheck.toolforge.org/index.php?ip=45.146.31.153. MathXplore (talk) 13:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The only proxy checker giving positive for proxy here is IPQS, which is too weak for me to block this for being a proxy. I notice that the provider is "web2objects" which might be a webhost provider, but leaving this to Amanda or another steward. EPIC (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

This doesn't seem like an open proxy (the proxy checkers I use give negative here at least) and this IP belongs to a large ISP. I'm not sure but I think I will leave this to Amanda or another steward. EPIC (talk) 19:57, 8 April 2024 (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 -->
*...
Reasons, etc. --~~~~

For many accounts:

Feels like something enwiki admins can handle perhaps? Not really any cross-wiki abuse or linkspam etc. EPIC (talk) 17:57, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
it is linkspam [1] (one of the newer spam methods: inserting some text – usually generated using ChatGPT – including real references and including a spamlink as another source). Johannnes89 (talk) 06:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Didn't notice that, still not sure about a lock though, since this is already handled at enwiki where the only edits were made. EPIC (talk) 06:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's been dealt with at enwiki with the user being blocked, that should be enough IMO. There isn't any particular cross-wiki abuse or similar here so I'm not too sure about locking. EPIC (talk) 15:04, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure if this is a username so abusive that we should lock for it. Yes, it's not appropriate but it's been blocked and that might be enough for now, and none of the socks of this user seem to have been locked, this seems like a local LTA. EPIC (talk) 15:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
