Community health initiative/Partial blocks/pl
This page documents a feature the Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team has built. Development of this feature is complete.
🗣 We invite you to join the discussion!
🛠 Track in Phabricator at T2674.
The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate and proportional to the abusive activity of the blocked user.
The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team (AHT) has completed the work on partial blocks from pages and namespaces. In early 2024, the AHT's successor, Trust and Safety Product, will deploy action blocks on all wikis.
Note that applying both an action block and a namespace block results with two different blocks. For example, blocking page creation and blocking edits in the main namespace results with both any page creation blocked and any edits in the main namespace blocked. It is not limited to page creations in the main namespace.
Types of blocks
Blokady działań
After the deployment of partial blocks, various communities requested action-specific blocking (see the related Phabricator task). As a consequence, in 2022, the AHT team introduced action blocks. Four new block options introduced were:
Blokady częściowe (dotyczące stron i przestrzeni nazw)
Partial blocks introduce the ability to block a user from:
- Edycja pojedynczej lub kilku stron
- Edycja wszystkich stron w jednej lub kilku przestrzeniach nazw
- Przesyłanie plików
- Wysyłanie maili do innych użytkowników
Przypadki użycia
Te rodzaje blokad częściowych przydadzą się gdy:
- Produktywny użytkownik dodaje treści propagandowe w niektórych tematach (np. polityka, religia)
- Długo trwające akcje wandalizowania ze zidentyfikowanego zakresu IP (np. kibice jednej drużyny wandalizujące strony o przeciwnej drużynie.)
- Dwóch lub więcej użytkowników otrzymało sankcję w postaci zakazu interakcji
- Użytkownik nadużywa funkcję wysyłania e-maili, ale na wiki wykonuje pożyteczne edycje
- Użytkownik dokonuje nierozważnych edycji w szablonach
Funkcje
Blokady częściowe będą działać na zasadach takich, jak normalne, pełne blokady:
- Mogą być nakładane przez administratorów.
- Mogą być nakładane użytkownikom, adresom i zakresom adresów IP
- Dostępne będą standardowe parametry blokad: powód, czas wygaśnięcia, zablokowanie dyskusji użytkownika i podstron oraz automatyczne blokowanie IP.
- Będą widoczne w rejestrze blokad, na stronie Specjalna:Zablokowani i wszędzie tam, gdzie dotychczas widoczne były informacje o całkowitej blokadzie.
- Gdy użytkownik zostanie zablokowany, zobaczy komunikat wyjaśniający, co ma zablokowane, wraz z pozostałymi informacjami o blokadzie (administrator, który zablokował, kiedy blokada wygaśnie, powód blokady, jak odwołać się od blokady.)

20 lutego 2020Partial blocks have been enabled on all Wikimedia wikis. Thank you to everyone who has helped this project along. 17 grudnia 2019Partial blocks have been asked for more and more wikis recently. In light of that, we are ready to enable partial blocks across all wikis. This deploy will happen in the week of January 6th for most projects (unless your project has already requested more time for discussion). If your project wishes to opt-out of this deployment, please reach out to us – User:NKohli (WMF) or User:SPoore (WMF) on the talk page. We strongly encourage you to try the feature out before deciding whether it serves the needs of your project or not. 11 września 2019Partial blocks has been enabled on all wikivoyage, wikisource and wiktionary wikis. We think the partial blocks feature is at a good, stable stage now as we have seen fewer and fewer bugs come up in the last few months of the feature being deployed on various projects. The team has spent a lot of time in improving the backend infrastructure of block code and made sure that the code is reliable, in anticipation of any future features that may need to be added. There continues to be requests from more wikis for partial blocks. We also presented about partial blocks at Wikimania and it was very well-received, with several attendees asking for partial blocks to be enabled on their home wikis. In light of the general positive reception to partial blocks on wikis where it is deployed, we are planning to do a wider deployment to more Wikimedia projects in the next few weeks. We will continue to collect feedback about partial blocks as we launch the feature on more wikis, alongside data collection on usage of the feature. We are also around to do maintenance work on the features, as and when needed. 13 marca 2019Partial Blocks are now live on Arabic Wikipedia, which means they fully support non-Latin languages and RTL languages. Partial blocks is ready to enable on any language Wikimedia wiki (except Wikidata.) 🎇 We're looking for users who want to represent their wiki to enable this feature. Please leave a message on the talk page if you would like to help. Thank you! 13 lutego 2019Namespace blocks are live! 🚀 There are some minor fixes and changes we'll be working on over the next few weeks, but the next major stage for this project is to release to more wikis so we can observe how effective they are at mitigating user misconduct, and to get feedback about any changes we should make. Specifically, we are seeking to understand:
If you would like to have this functionality on your wiki to combat harassment, vandalism, or other forms of user misconduct, please let us know on the talk page. 30 stycznia 2019As upload blocks will require additional database changes (which requires months of advance notice and planning) we will first complete page and namespace blocks before deciding to pursue upload blocks. 16 stycznia 2019Today we reached another significant milestone! Partial Blocks have been enabled on Italian Wikipedia and the local wiki administrators are setting partial blocks to combat vandals! A big congratulation to my team for working through the inner guts of MediaWiki and all its processes to make sure we have a safe and reliable blocking tool. 🎉 If you would like to test the functionality, it will forever be available on http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Block (write us if you need admin privileges.) We're already talking to two other languages of Wikipedias about being testers — if your wiki would like to test please write on our talk page! 20 grudnia 2018As 2018 draws to a close, our team is putting the final touches on Namespace blocks. This functionality should be ready in January on Test Wikipedia and on the non-English Wikipedias that are eager to adopt this new functionality. Our plan for early 2019 is to release to several wikis and make changes based on what problems and opportunities arise. We'll also build the ability to block a user from uploading files, creating new pages, and renaming pages. Meanwhile, our team's analyst is analyzing data on the effectiveness of blocks. These measurements should help us better understand how many blocks are effective at stopping continued abuse to the wiki or its community members. We expect this data to show us if partial blocks are as effective as sitewide blocks and hope this data can inform the governance policies for when to levy blocks and block lengths. 5 grudnia 2018Our team is still working on addressing the final defects before we enable Partial Blocks on Italian Wikipedia. We're optimistic that we can hit this milestone next week! In the meantime testing is still available on Test Wikipedia and Test Wikidata for users interested in taking a look at what's ready so far. We're also confident that we can get Namespace blocks to a near-ready state by the end of December, before we break for the winter holidays. That functionality should be ready on Test Wiki in January. 26 listopada 2018We have a handful of bugfixes and feature enhancements to release this week! This list explains everything that's changed. In short, these changes will make Partial Blocks only affect exactly what is listed in the block set by the admin, as we originally intended. All changes will be available on http://test.wikipedia.org by Wednesday of this week. With this set of changed we feel confident in the stability and functionality of the feature. We are working with Italian Wikipedia to look-over the functionality on Test Wiki before they adopt the feature and integrate it into their user mediation workflows. If any other wikis are excited to use this functionality, please let us know and we'll begin working with you! Meanwhile, our devs are also working on implementing Namespace blocks. We hope to have them completed in the coming weeks. 8 listopada 2018Partial blocks are live on Test Wikipedia and Test Wikidata! If you're an admin on another wiki and would like to test the functionality please write a message on our talk page. This first feature set is limited: admins can block an user or IP from editing up to 10 specified pages. There are some known defects that we're currently working on (for example, if an admin is partially blocked from a page they can't delete any page.) and we'll get back to building namespace and upload blocks in later November. If you're testing partial blocks we'd love to hear from you! Drop us a note about your experience with the tool. We're looking specifically for feedback about:
Thank you! 19 października 2018We're making significant progress on Partial Blocks and are nearly live on production wikis. We hope to have a functional version on test.wikipedia.org and test.wikidata.org in the coming weeks. We're very excited to share it with you! While the devs put the final touches on the first version, others on our team are currently thinking about how we want to measure the effectiveness of blocks. We're asking ourselves (and anyone who will listen) questions like "Are blocks effective at stopping harm? Do users who are blocked return to make constructive edits? How do we measure this?" — if you are interested in discussing this topic, we have a 7 proposed measurements and commentary on why we selected them at the other project page. As part of this, we've generated some data on how frequently blocks are set (did you know there are currently 3.4 million active blocks?) and pages are protected (~20,000 pages are currently protected) to better understand the scale of administrative actions. 21 września 2018Our team is nearly ready to release the first feature set of partial blocks — the ability to block a user from ≤10 pages — on the beta environment then test.wikipedia by mid-October. We are talking with some early opt-in wikis to test the functionality, please let us know if your wiki would be interested in utilizing this functionality, which also gives you a great opportunity to dictate the future of this project! In other news, due to technical complexity, we have decided to de-prioritize multiple blocks and remove it from this project. I've moved the documentation here. This small amount of functionality would take a very large amount of time to build and we first want to make sure page, namespace, and upload blocking work as expected and actually produce meaningful impact. We'll have another round of designs soon and we look forward to delivering a great partial blocks feature in the coming months! 24 września 2018: We have a fourth round of designs, based on feedback from our second round in June. Here are the two new designs, detailed UI element views can be seen in the gallery below.
4 września 2018We have our third round of designs almost ready and we want to share them now before we go too far without validating our direction. These designs include functionality to view details about multi-blocks. Because of this change we need to introduce a new piece of information during the blocking process. This led us to the idea of a block modal window, which can theoretically appear on any page — a diff page, recent changes, a profile, etc. This would allow an admin to block a user without having to navigate to another page. Here is how it would work: // designs redacted, moved on Multi-blocks subpage. // 22 sierpnia 2018Based on conversations on the talk page, in person at Wikimania last month, and on the TechComm RFC for this project our team has decided to merge the project of multi-blocks into Partial Blocks. The goal of multi-blocks is to allow admins to set multiple concurrent blocks against an account with independent expiration dates, decreasing the manual workload on administrators. Example use cases for multi-blocks include:
This will require changes to Special:Block, Special:Unblock, Special:BlockList, and Special:Contributions. We are working on another round of designs (with minimal changes from the last round) which we will post on this page next week. Work for multi-blocks will be tracked in Phabricator at phab:T194697. Our TechComm RFC can be found at phab:T199917 which includes all our proposed database changes and other technical implementation details. 8 sierpnia 2018Most feedback we’re receiving at this stage in the project is about one hypothetical — yet entirely likely — workaround a malicious user could exploit to their advantage: a user using a temporary sitewide block to erase (and therefore evade) an indefinite partial block. This could be resolved with manual solutions (e.g. calendars and reminders to reinstate the partial block) but this is inconvenient and interruptive to your workflows and prone to human error. It’s clear that we need to determine a solution to prevent this abuse before Partial Blocks releases to most wikis. There are a few ways to do this and this can get pretty complicated, please help me determine which system we should build:
Description: If an admin escalates a partial block to a sitewide block and the expiration date for the sitewide block is shorter than the previous partial block, the admin should have an option for the block to revert to the previous partial block parameters when the sitewide block expires. Example: An admin blocks User:Apples from editing the page Argentina for 9 months. The same day, an admin modifies the block to Argentina and Bahamas for 8 months. The same day an admin blocks the user from the entire site for 7 months. After 7 months, User:Apples would be blocked from Argentina and Bahamas for 1 more month, after which the partial block would be entirely expired. This change would only require adding one additional option into the Special:Block UI when a block is being modified.
Description: Admins should be able to set different expirations for different elements of a block. Example: An admin could block User:Bananas from editing Argon for 9 months, Boron for 8 months, and sitewide for 7 months. After 7 months, the user would be blocked from Argon and Boron and after 1 more month the user would be blocked only from Argon. After 1 more month the partial block would be entirely expired. This change would require a more significant change to how blocks are currently logged and managed on Special:Block, Special:BlockList, Special:Contributions, and Special:Unblock. Users can be partially blocked from an unlimited number of pages, meaning every page could hypothetically have a different expiration, which could lead to some complicated situations.
We’d love to hear more alternate proposals. Please discuss on the talk page. For all options it should be possible for an admin to clear all blocks from an account, leaving it entirely unblocked. This will most likely be a change to Special:Unblock. Join us on the talk page to let us know what you think! 13 lipca 2018This project was slightly delayed due to other interruptive work and unfortunately will not be demonstrable by Wikimania. The entire Anti-Harassment Tools team will be at Wikimania in Cape Town next week, so if you are attending please find us and discuss this project! We are optimistic to have a functional version of this in early August. We're still planning to build it according to the designs in the June 28 update. During the last week on July, we will post a banner on Special:Block inviting people to visit this page to learn about our changes. We anticipate a lot of people will join the discussion. Welcome! We will also be holding a technical RFC in the coming weeks to make sure our architecture decisions are agreeable. 19 lipca 2018: From today until Monday, July 23 we will be running a banner on Special:Block to invite administrators to visit this wiki page to read about this project and to provide feedback on our designs. If that banner brought you here, welcome! 20 lipca 2018: The banner has been disabled because of the delayed code release to major Wikipedias. We aim to re-enable it on all wikis from July 30 to August 3. 28 czerwca 2018This project is currently in development and we hope to have a functional version ready by mid-July to demonstrate how this would work for further feedback. We anticipate a mid-August release to test wikis and will soon be looking for a wiki to try this as a pilot. We have a new series of designs to share. We believe these should address most feedback we've received over the past month.

Uwagi
Blokowanie całych kategorii
Poprzednio projekt miał na celu stworzenie administratorom możliwości blokowania użytkownikom edycji wszystkich stron z wybranych kategorii. Zostało to wstrzymane dopóki nie stworzymy blokowania pojedynczych stron, przestrzeni nazw i przesyłania plików. Dodanie blokowania całych kategorii wymaga podjęcia pewnych dodatkowych kroków przy zmianie systemu:
- Co z kategoriami na stronach dyskusji zablokowanych artykułów?
- Dla jakiego poziomu głębokości podkategorii blokady mają mieć zastosowanie?
- Co z sytuacjami, gdzie użytkownik z pacynki usunie stronę z kategorii w celu ominięcia blokady?
- Czy wpłynie to na szybkość działania, wydajność?
Wnioski użytkowników
Functionality for setting more tactical types of blocks has been requested in:
- The 2015 Community Wishlist Survey/Moderation and admin tools#Enhanced per-user / per-article protection / blocking
- The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Anti-harassment/Per-page user blocking
- Phabricator ticket T2674 since 2005.
- This was also discussed in our wider Community health initiative/Blocking tools and improvements on-wiki consultation in late 2017 to early 2018.
Restrykcje edycyjne
In addition to simple per user blocking, the Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team would like to support the work done by volunteers who set, monitor, and enforce editing restrictions on Wikimedia wikis, as well as building systems that make it easier for users under a restriction to avoid the temptation of violating a sanction and remain constructive contributors.
The Editing restriction page will be used to collate and share ideas about implementing tools to make this work more accurate and more efficient. Join us on Talk:/Editing restrictions to discuss the problems encountered today that could be addressed with tech solutions.
