Global IP block exempt for Waggers

Status: Done

Global user: Waggers (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Hi, I'm blocked with the following details:

The block was made by AmandaNP. The reason given is No open proxies .

Start of block: 04:48, 17 November 2023

Expiry of block: 04:48, 17 November 2025

Your current IP address is 208.127.198.222. The blocked range is 208.127.192.0/21.

I'm an administrator on en.wiki (so already exempt there) and a regular contributor at Commons, where this block affects me. I also edit sporadically at other projects (news, voyage, meta, quote, data) so would very much appreciate a global exemption. --Waggers (talk) 10:48, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I can see this noticeboard is quite busy but the lack of response after two weeks - and not being able to edit - is quite frustrating. Is there any way to expedite these requests? Waggers (talk) 11:07, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

@Waggers we do have a large backlog. To be clear, is your use case problem that you actually are using an open proxy, and you just want to do that despite the No open proxies global policy? — xaosflux ^Talk 11:48, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Essentially yes - I'm doing some editing while at work and evidently the IP my workplace uses has been blocked as an open proxy. I'd be very surprised if my workplace is actually using an open proxy to be honest, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about networky things to dispute the block. Waggers (talk) 11:56, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

@Waggers: thanks for the udpate, it's likely they have some sort of filter or proxy set up, could be a browser extension. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:04, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Done added for 12 months, renew if needed — xaosflux ^Talk 12:04, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for 安眠3

Status: Done

Global user: 安眠3 (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I am in China and have to use technology to change ip addresses to access Wikipedia, so I need to apply for an Ip exemption as a way to edit all versions of Wikipedia.—安眠3 (talk) 07:40, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@安眠3 Hi, you have local IPBE on Chinese Wikipedia, why you need a global IPBE? Lemonaka (talk) 08:13, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

"...edit all versions of Wikipedia." I think it is a valid reason to apply GIPBE.

Anyway, please note that GIPBE only bypass Global IP block. If you are affected by local IP block, you still have to apply the local IPBE. Thanks for your understanding. SCP-2000 11:14, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

In my case, I am always affected by Global IP block, never affected by local IP block.—安眠3 (talk)< 安眠3 (talk) 11:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Likely because you are already local IPBE on enwiki and zhwiki, your most used projects. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:59, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Done added for 12 months, feel free to apply for renewal if needed prior to expiration. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Due to my ISP, I end-up encountering IP block, I understand that IP blocks are sometimes necessary to maintain the integrity and security of the Wikimedia. Attaching the IP:185.177.124.0/22 and error Link. Hence I'm requesting the IP block exempt right for my account to keep up the good work. Thanks, thanks, --Pp01902 (talk) 11:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for NFarras

Status: Not done

Global user: NFarras (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I am using the Biznet network here in Bandung, Indonesia. It is not a VPN/open proxy service, just a regular internet service provider. There is a chance that Meta admin accidentally blocked the IP range of the whole/most users of Biznet in my area. Because of that, I can not do any editing work in Wikimedia projects (notably English Wikipedia and Commons), except Indonesian Wikipedia where I can by-pass the block.

I have sent requests via UTRS and email, but none of them get any response. Thanks, --NFarras (talk) 14:33, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Interaccoonale

Status: Done

Global user: Interaccoonale (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Hello, I am an extended confirmed user on Chinese Wikipedia and English Wikipedia, an automatic patroller on zhwiki, and I have IP block exemption rights on zhwiki, enwiki, and Wikidata. I have used some proxies that were not blocked to contribute to other Wikimedia projects, including uploading photos on Commons. However, recently, it has become increasingly challenging for me to find such proxies. As a result, I have to apply for GIPBE to continue contributing to the Wikimedia projects. Thanks for taking the time to process my request.--Interaccoonale (talk) 16:03, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Valid reason with compelling global contributions. Considering this user's cross-wiki experience, I believe granting GIPBE to this user is appropriate. Borschts^Talk 10:46, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

2.（+）Having a local IPBE on zh.wikipedia.org.

3.（+）Having a medium-sized Mediawiki architecture wiki patroller.For details, please visit mcbbs.wiki.

I am a user from mainland China, and I can only access Wikimedia using a proxy. I have a block exemption on the Chinese Wiki, but I still need the block exemption to edit Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, etc.--SteveLLL (talk) 11:49, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

The IP of the proxy I use is sometimes blocked and sometimes not, but once it is a blocked IP, switching routes does not take effect (such as now). So I still hope to get an exemption from the IP block so I can contribute as usual.— SteveLLL (talk) 08:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Not done the fix for your challenge is to stop using your VPN for contributing to Wikimedia projects. See No open proxies.

Global IP block exempt for Borhan

I often using VPN during my travels and while using a public internet hotspots. I have been affected by global IP bans in the past when trying to edit projects on bn.wiki, en.wiki, wikidata or using swviewer to work against vandalism. So to work properly, i need the permission, thanks. --Borhan (talk) 06:56, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Done for a year. @Borhan: Please note that at en.wikipedia (and a couple of other projects), the global exemption does not actually work. If that happens, you'd need to request the local exemption as well. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

@Yahya: If you mean that I should have stopped reverting once I have seen that the vandal was insistent and once I have seen that the vandal has been reported, and that I should have instead left the global sysops / stewards manage the vandal from now on, yes, I admit my wrong. If you mean something else, please explain. --NGC 54 (talk｜contribs) 11:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Oppose as NGC 54 probably didn't bother reverting vandalism and spam on most small wikis (other than the Romanian language small wikis), and GR is a very high-trust global permission, as this will allow you to mark rollbacks as bot edits (with a certain script), not leave redirects when moving pages, etc. You are expected to revert just obvious vandalism and spam, not edit war. – 64andtim ^{(talk to me!)} 04:57, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to request GR (again). For the past half year (link) I've spent a lot of time and energy patrolling changes on all small WMF projects (and on some not so small ones), reverting non-constructive edits, including cross-wiki spam, sometimes requesting pages to be deleted. My most important sources of information are the Meta abuse filter log and practically all local recent changes pages, which I investigate on a rotating schedule, concentrating on undesirable edits other patrollers have missed. I am and have been a sysop on commons, w:fy and w:nl for many years and I am also a former steward. Of course I'm familiar with the GR policy. Thanks, Wutsje (talk) 19:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I am generally quite liberal in supporting for global rollback, but the candidate only has only reverted on four projects outside their home projects in the last six months.

Global CAPTCHA exemption for TechnoSquirrel69

Status: Withdrawn

Global user: TechnoSquirrel69 (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Hey there! I've recently been getting involved with some cross-wiki counter-vandalism, and I am continually being stopped in my tracks by CAPTCHAs. Maybe I'll apply to be a global rollbacker at some point, but I'd like to request this flag until then. Feel free to ping me with any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:51, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Question: @TechnoSquirrel69: did you tried Global SUL? --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 13:09, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
(Add:) "recently" seems to be very recently... Only active since this month in crosswiki work. Waiting for an answer before deciding. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 13:13, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, TenWhile6; I've just run the Global SUL script, which should help! However, I believe there are still some wikis that require CAPTCHAs until becoming autoconfirmed? You brought up how recently I've started my cross-wiki work, but that's exactly the reason I'm requesting the flag, as I would probably be autoconfirmed on all the wikis where it mattered if I put in a few more months. I'm hoping to make those few months slightly easier by not having to leave SWViewer multiple times a session to manually undo edits and fill out CAPTCHAs. If you're concerned about my lack of experience with counter-vandalism, I will say that I have quite a bit of experience using local semi-automated tools as a pending changes reviewer and rollbacker on the English Wikipedia (enwiki rollbacks, enwiki undos). —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:31, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Yes, but "autoconfirmed" on (almost?) all non-enwiki wikis just means 4 days since account creation, there's no editing requirement. No objection to granting for a week, but it could be better to wait and see if you have any problems after you become autoconfirmed. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Today I learned only some wikis have edit counts as autoconfirmed requirements! Thanks for your help, I'll check back in after a few days if I'm still having issues with CAPTCHAs, and withdraw my request otherwise. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:11, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
I'd like to reinstate my request. The Global SUL script seems to have helped for the most part, but I was just stopped by a CAPTCHA again on the Belarusian Wikipedia. I believe my request is similar to several of the accepted rationales at CAPTCHA exemptions, and I intend only to contribute in good faith, following global and local counter-vandalism policies and guidelines to the best of my ability. Again, let me know if there are any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:04, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
You just created an account on bewiki (2023-12-27T20:18:03) - the standard is create an account, wait 4 days. You appear to be autoconfirmed on hundreds of projects that you are not contributing to at all. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:51, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
I'm a bit confused here. CentralAuth tells me the Global SUL script created a local account on the Belarusian Wikipedia at the same time it did every other wiki (December 21, 2023), but I only made my first edit to it today. Does the autoconfirmed clock start ticking only from the first edit? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:03, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
@TechnoSquirrel69 apologies, looked at the wrong entry there. However, in looking at your problem case (bewiki) - you are already autoconfirmed on that project (see w:be:Special:UserRights/TechnoSquirrel69) which includes skipcaptcha. Are you able to reproduce triggering the captcha there? — xaosflux ^Talk 00:52, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Not able to reproduce; I'm not entirely sure why. I'll also note that none of the other wikis I edited after running the script have given me this issue, including ones that had CAPTCHA-ed me before. I suppose that means the issue is resolved? Thanks for your help, Xaosflux, and I'm willing to withdraw unless you have anything to add. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:21, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
@TechnoSquirrel69 a possibility could be that you had a session issue and were about to make a contribution logged out; were you able to confirm you were logged in at the time? — xaosflux ^Talk 01:25, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

I should have been logged in, as I was using SWViewer, and also attempted to perform a rollback with Twinkle, but ended up having to make the revert manually (diff) along with a CAPTCHA. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:31, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Requests for global rename permissions

Global rename for EPIC

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Status: Done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
User: EPIC (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)

Not ending before 18 December 2023 16:31 UTC

Hello there, I am EPIC, and I have Swedish as my mother tounge with advanced knowledge of English as well as some knowledge of Norwegian. I have been a registered user for 4 and a half years, and an administrator on the Swedish Wikipedia for a bit over 3 and a half years.

I am applying for the global renamer rights mostly to help out with the renaming requests on the local page on svwiki for requesting username changes. Probably I will also help out with requests done using Special:GlobalRenameRequest and at Steward requests/Username changes. I am an active patroller at svwiki and quick to handle requests, and on svwiki we currently have one global renamer, which means it will not be an overload.

I have read the Global rename policy as well as the Global renamers policy page, and I am fully aware of the responsibilities as a global renamer, and therefore I am ready to take them. With that being said, most of my use of the renaming tools will go towards local renaming requests as well as here on Meta. EPIC (talk) 16:31, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

2FA Tester for LOWERCASEUSERNAME

Status: Done

Global user: LOWERCASEUSERNAME (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I don't necessarily need 2FA level security for my account but would like to have access

for peace of mind and to satisfy my need to check boxes. I know how 2FA works and

already use it for almost every account that I actively use, in addition to having

read the guide posted. Thanks! --LOWERCASEUSERNAME (talk) 1:13, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
