Steward requests (Global)

latest archive→

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.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses or accounts; and (un)locks apply to global accounts.

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/username}} 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

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-stewards^connect 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 --> *...

Global lock for Maryana Iskander and Jimbo Wales and Hagger and Hermy on wheels

Status:    Not done

• Maryana Iskander and Jimbo Wales and Hagger and Hermy on wheels (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser)

I know that it hasn't edited for two years, but do we really want such kind of sleepers lying around? Leaderboard (talk) 16:38, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

This seems to have been an april fools account created by an enwiki admin [1]. EPIC (talk) 16:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC: I didn't notice that; I'll leave it up to you but I'm not sure we allowed such accounts even then? Leaderboard (talk) 16:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Generally I don't think it would have been, but the account was an April Fools joke and it did not edit, I think it might be okay. See also Steward_requests/Global/2024-w14#Global lock for Hagger and Hermy and Maryana Iskander and Jimbo Wales on wheels. EPIC (talk) 16:54, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Mind if I close this? I think the conclusion seems clear that it was a joke account created for April Fools two years ago by an enwiki admin, so it's unlikely that the account will start vandalizing out of nowhere. EPIC (talk) 07:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC: maybe just lock and unlock that account so that future users know that it's a joke account? Leaderboard (talk) 07:46, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Global lock for 金世康

Status:    On hold

Long-term abuse. Globally banned by WMF. KAGE. A09|(pogovor) 14:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I think we would generally lock for this but these accounts are unused since 2010-2012. Don't know whether they should still be locked though? EPIC (talk) 14:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't think reasons listed on the policy page exclude themselves. If they don't, then they could be locked as globally banned users. A09|(pogovor) 14:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
