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

If you are here because you have been blocked by a global block, and believe that the block is in error or you have not done anything wrong, there are a few methods through which you can appeal:

  • If the IP is not currently blocked on meta, you can post a request to this page following the instructions below to have the IP unblocked.
  • If the IP is currently blocked on meta, you can post an appeal on your talk page. For maximum effectiveness, link to the username of the steward who globally blocked the IP address using the code [[User:USERNAME|USERNAME]] so that they are pinged by it.
  • If you are editing from an account and have been caught by a global IP block that is unlikely to be removed (i.e. because it is an open proxy or because of long-term abuse), you can request an individual exemption from the block at the requests for global permissions page. Please see the section on global IP block exemptions on that page for specific instructions for making a request.
  • If none of those options work, you are free to email us at stewards-at-wikimedia.org.
Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses; and (un)locks apply to global accounts

Requests for global (un)block[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg 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.
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 an account to be locked or unlocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[User:Some IP address|Some 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 http://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:

Global unblock for 88.113.144.0/20[edit]

Contains real users. Convert to softblock.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2A01:488:42:1000:57E6:68D8:0:0 (talk • contribs) .

No real user in that range except vandals. Contact your ISP if you are affected by this block. -- Tegel (Talk) 17:52, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg 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 your request 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 OTRS queue at stewards-at-wikimedia.org 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.
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 the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked.
=== Global lock/unlock for [[User:Foo|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 -->
*...

Sock of Unypoly again, curruntly blocked at kowiki.--DangSunM (talk) 01:52, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

야주강 (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA) Adding one more. — Revicomplaint? 05:37, 19 April 2014 (UTC) (This one is with edit behavior, as he is requesting unblock of Betalph (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA) on kowikibooks and asking admin for request unlocking. This matches — Revicomplaint? 05:40, 19 April 2014 (UTC))
Please do not lock Daehae, 대한민국토박이. Daehae and 대한민국토박이 are unrelated to me(Unypoly). they are not Sock of Unypoly. 대한민국토박이 is sock of Daehae. I think they are sock of Daiyan (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA), Bhher (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA), Rokescort (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA), Gagena (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA), Master123456 (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA), Beautymissy (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA). they didn't abuse act else than ko.wikipedia.org. Global locks require Accounts that have been used only for vandalism or abuse on multiple wikis and are actively vandalizing now or obviously are otherwise being disruptive on multiple wikis are candidates for a global lock. --야주강 (talk) 06:08, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Not xwiki, leaving to local wikis, or until they go xwiki. Please stop hunting down every possible account and reporting to stewards, the purpose of lock is to manage xwiki problematic accounts, and then only when they are confirmed as being of the abuser. Management at local wikis is preferred.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:25, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Global unlock for Betalph[edit]

Status:    Not done

[Unipoly]

I was locked because I was blocked in three wiki at that time. Steward requests/Global/2012-09. However, block in two wiki(b:ko: and wikt:ko: was illegally executed. My block in ko.wiktionary was canceled after impeachment and resignation of 아흔 (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA). Now, I requested unblock me to Korean wikibooks, Because I didn't abuse sock in kowikibooks and not did disturb act. I did abusing act only ko.wikipedia, not did in other Wikimedia project. 아흔 (talk • contribs • block • SULinfo • x-wiki • recent edits • CA) was impeached at Korean Wikipedia in 2007, and he continuously abuse admin rights in ko.wikibooks and ko.wiktionary. Finally, He was impeached in ko.wiktionary in September 2013 and resigned all admin right in Wikipedia project in September 2013. Global locks require Accounts that have been used only for vandalism or abuse on multiple wikis and are actively vandalizing now or obviously are otherwise being disruptive on multiple wikis are candidates for a global lock. --야주강 (talk) 06:25, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Why not just use the current account (야주강) that you are using?  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:11, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Hmm, I have just read the post above. Denied. Please go away for a while, you have outstayed your welcome, and your repeated edits are reported here as problematic, and will continue to be locked. If you don't like it, then you should look to your edits and why the requests are made for locks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:16, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
