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; 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 . 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.
Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses 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. Saying an IP 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) 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 the address(es) to be blocked or unblocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address|Some IP address]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|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 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

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 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 -->

Reasons, etc. --~~~~

For many accounts:

Global donate remove

Status:    Not done

After long time the Israelis manger take off my manger remove request which I asked. But they yet not deleted all my donate to He-wikibook. I don't want any contact with those evil people. So I write to you: I don't feel I want to be manger but I also don't want to see any of my donates for HE-wikibook. Israelis just don't get it. I hope you would help them to understand by remove my donates. Hebrew Universty hurt me. People in Israel hurt me and now I hope the would see that While they remove my manger - whats so ever - they even didn't let me know. I see while I wrote at Hebooks. They are chauvinists.

Many thanks יוני2023 (talk) 08:28, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not done, I'm assuming you are requesting us to remove your contributions, but that is not possible because contributions cannot be completely deleted. You can request for your account to be vanished (see Right to vanish#How to request a vanishing), but we are not able to delete your contributions or your account. EPIC (talk) 08:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I truly dont care how you will call it. I don't want see my donates at He wikibook. If you need to delete all my account go for it. Best, an hurten girl by Hebrew Universty. Bestיוני2023 (talk) יוני2023 (talk) 08:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Like I mentioned we do not have the ability to delete accounts, and as mentioned above, requesting for your account to be vanished according to the instructions at Right to vanish#How to request a vanishing would probably be your best choice in that case. EPIC (talk) 08:44, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
User:EPIC If vanish my account del my donates you can vanish it. You do it now? so I would know I can;t get in it again? יוני2023 (talk) 08:47, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Your contributions will not be completely deleted, but it will remove the username in your contributions and change it to something like "Vanished user nnnnnnnnnnn". EPIC (talk) 08:54, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
User:EPIC So its not help me. I wamt all my donates be deleted from He-wikibook. יוני2023 (talk) 08:57, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
User:EPIC, A manger can delete many donates. I asked you do so. I hope you arent chauvinist too. Wiki can't let to rape a female and them use her donates. Best יוני2023 (talk) 08:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Like I mentioned, we are not able to completely remove contributions from the history. EPIC (talk) 09:02, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
and I help more "Hast thou killed, and also taken possessions?" יוני2023 (talk) 09:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
