Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Admins and patrollers/Allow global whitelisting of IPs subject to global rangeblocks/Proposal
Appearance
- Problem: Several requests for unblock cannot be handled in due time because of providers/tech depths of different organization mixing up networks which could legitimately edit the wikis with farms with open proxies, spam sources, etc. A quite common case are, also, private proxies on VPS or reverse proxies from different organizations hosted in third-party farms.
- Proposed solution: create a Special:GlobalBlockWhitelist page where a global block can be revoked for a certain IP or subnet falling in a blocked range
- Who would benefit: dozens of users caught by global blocks
