This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

• For global IP or account block requests, read the guideline and make a request below under Requests for global (un)block. Indicate why a global block is necessary and for how long.
• For account lock requests, read the guideline and post under Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding.
• For local requests here on Meta, see Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat.

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.

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: 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

I know that, but I had agreed with the administration of the German Wikipedia to stay out of this area of activity! At least temporarily! And because I don't know if this also applies globally... Justman10000 (talk) 10:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

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-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-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: === Global lock for spambots/vandals === {{status}} <!-- do not remove this template --> {{MultiLock|username|username2|username3}} {{MultiLock|username|username2|username3|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the names to be visible on this page --> *...

• Elizium23 (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser)

Indef blocked on two projects. After being blocked for 2 weeks with talkpage access revoked for disruption, decided to block evade and impersonate the WMF on their talkpage ("We're at a loss..." etc; emphasis mine). For context, note the various explicit/implicit threats to report people and the project to the WMF over Universal Code of Conduct issues in the large thread above, which is what makes this a clear case of impersonation. --Theknightwho (talk) 11:45, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

 On hold for steward discussion. EPIC (talk) 11:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Not done. Blocked on two projects, seems to be constructively editing others. I'm somewhat less concerned about the enwikt block, given that this seems to have started with Elizium attempting to redact rampant, insulting speculation about another editor's mental capacity. Elizium certainly went about resolving this in an unconstructive way (including the possible block evasion), and that is within local admins' remit to block, but this doesn't necessitate a lock. If there are future blocks on other projects, I'd reconsider. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 15:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
