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

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.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

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:

  1. You know the IP address(es) or accounts 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 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: stewards wikimedia org

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-oversight wikimedia org (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-appeals wikimedia org.
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:

  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 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 -->

Global lock for David C. S. and sockpuppets

Status:    In progress

See also my talk page on Commons. David C. S. was a long-time Commons contributor who repeatedly, for years, uploaded copyright violations, particularly coats of arms and other Ecuadorian emblems. They were caught several times, blocked and ultimately indefinitely-blocked. They then resorted to using sockpuppets on Commons, while using his main account to edit other projects, like Wikidata, to insert their new uploads. They have also used such sockpuppet accounts to edit other projects. Long-term abuse. --Bedivere (talk) 06:46, 19 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Given that they are still active on some projects with a large amount of edits, I think this is rather a case for requesting a global ban instead of stewards just applying a global lock. Johannnes89 (talk) 13:55, 23 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
They've been recently expelled (i. e. indefinitely blocked) from the Spanish Wikipedia along with the active sockpuppets they had there. Maybe an alternative would be to just lock, for now, the sockpuppets. Bedivere (talk) 02:58, 25 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
A couple of sockpuppets have been active in multiple wikis, therefore I've locked all of them for crosswiki (sockpuppet) abuse. I would appreciate another steward's opinion regarding the main account. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:57, 25 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Global block for Иван Абатуров

Status:    In progress

All of the above accounts belong to the same person. He was involved in intimidation/harassment, vandalism as well as mass denunciation to Russian repressive agencies. Today with a very high degree of certainty he came again from a new account Акура. Currently, in total, he is blocked from three Wikimedia projects: Ruwiki (1, 2, 3, 4), Commons (1,2, 3), and Wikinews ( 1, 2 - blocked today). Please kindly globally block those accounts. Thank you. --Oleg Yunakov (talk) 19:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
