Blocked Admins[]

What if an admin is blocked? TimandEricman (talk) 18:58, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

Depends. If it's a local block, (s)he can just unblock the account. If it's a global block - by VSTF or Staff - that's not possible. --Tupka²¹⁷ 19:14, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

My wikia is in a situation[]

The Figures Fanon Wikia is in a bit of a situation, and I need a lot of help on this one!

There's these users that have been making fun of real life people and posting mean and things! Here's the pages, and the users responsible for it:

A reason to block?[]

I started drawing own characters for this girl for her pages and she has gotten me to draw 22 OCs for her. She never showed any gratefulness, she kept pushing me and saying she wants them done by the next day (I wasn't charging her for them). I eventually ignored all her repetitive spam requests after giving her a huge paragraph on why I wouldn't draw for her any longer. She still messages me frequently now, asking for me to draw characters "for other users" (probably just for her own pleasure) and even writing stories about them. Is this a reason to block her for a while? LexsJB_Talk 17:52, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

A good admin would block after warning the user in question - which you have done. It's really up to you - admins can block users for anything, but it should be rational and used if the user is no longer acting in good faith. Ozank Cx (talk) 17:57, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

I blocked her last night but she's created a new account (which I'm definite is her) and carrying on with it. Should I block her even though it's on a new account? LexsJB_Talk 18:28, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

I think we'd call new accounts "sockpuppets" that tries to dodge a block. Yes, I think you should block it because that's what a lot of wiki admins do. Ryu and Ken and Akuma 20:18, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Her block expired a few weeks ago and now she keeps spamming messages of thanks (and I know it's because she wants me to keep drawing for her) and just wont stop. Is this also a reason to block or am I just getting to desperate to block her? LexsJB_Talk 16:30, November 8, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, constant spamming is a reason to block the person in-order to stop the activity from going on.--Muzzarino 16:48, November 8, 2016 (UTC)

how can i block users by another time[]

pls answer -- GLI TC H 2112 20:10, April 25, 2017 (UTC)

On the dropdown box with the list of given days, you can select "Other time:" and put your own exact date and possibly time as well.

Note[]

"This user is currently blocked across the FANDOM network."........

What does it mean? PictureField55 (talk) 00:06, December 29, 2017 (UTC)

Means they can't actively use any of the wikis because their account has been globally blocked. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 00:19, December 29, 2017 (UTC)

A question[]

So, if you are blocked, it tells you to contact an admin? You can't if you are blocked, then what should you do?

Especially if they are realitively harsh on you, they would probably yell out a furious response (its possible that I am doing the same mistake all over again, but they don't have to be like that).SUPER4geditTANK (talk) 12:22, July 5, 2018 (UTC)

You edit your talk page and request an unblock. However you can only do this if you are able to edit your talk page. If you can't do that, try and contact the admin on another wiki, but be careful. Some users are rather touchy about blocked users trying to contact them elsewhere, as they may see this as harassment. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 12:43, July 5, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for that, even if it does not work I will still thank you!SUPER4geditTANK (talk) 12:44, July 5, 2018 (UTC)

No problem! ;) ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 12:45, July 5, 2018 (UTC)

Question[]

Please fully-protect the page because I'm afraid vandals come here and vandalise this page. Gagarsa05 (talk) 01:42, July 30, 2018 (UTC)

This page isn't subject to vandalism very often. There's no reason to protect it. -- Cube-shaped garbage can 13:57, July 30, 2018 (UTC)

I agree to that. Also if the page is protected then legitimate users will be unable to edit it. What's the point of asking an administrator to do the edits for you when it is much less troublesome to do those edits yourself? ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 10:28, July 31, 2018 (UTC)

Votes[]

Can blocked users vote on polls, or Kudos/upvote posts?—|| Grudgeholderr ||— 10:15, August 19, 2018 (UTC)

I think they can. I blocked myself on a wiki yesterday (for a test) and I could still vote and give Kudos. Rehana242 (talk) 10:55, August 19, 2018 (UTC)

The last time I checked, it wasn't possible to give kudos while blocked. However I have never known users to be unable to vote on polls while blocked. I could be wrong though as I've never tried it before. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 12:50, August 19, 2018 (UTC)

Question[]

Who's talking in that video? Kirkburn? LightHouse38 (talk) 17:15, April 6, 2019 (UTC)

They're blocked, but they can still post stuff on userpages and the pages created. I wanted to block the spammers that keep trying to post stuff they should not have made but even when I used the "block user" box, their edits STILL are kept in. Why can't this blocking mechanism block them from even editing the pages as well (even if it's for users only on some pages)?

Discussions blocks?[]

(just asking) Is there a way to ban users from Discussions and/or Forums but not from the entire wikia? Or is the "banning users in this feature but not from the entire wikia" thing only for chat? Botuczy ^(W•C•E)

Blocking myself[]

Blocking (Falsely Accused)[]

What if you get falsely accused of doing things that you didn't do, because you posted a comment that was at the same time someone else got blocked? Not-A-Member2 (talk) 16:58, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

How to find the user who blocked me.[]

Just to hypothetical how can I find the user who blocked me from editing even though I just wanted to add a bit more to said page.

About blocking (some) fandom staff[]

I would not recommend blocking staff members, but what if I blocked a fandom staff member from a specific fandom site? Would that result in me getting blocked if I did that? I'm just making sure that isn't against the fandom policy, so I wouldn't get blocked. GurgiFan57 (talk) 22:07, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

You couldn't anyway. Staff cannot be blocked, they have the "unblockable" right within the STAFF group. Zacatero • (Wall) •

Can admins be blocked? (Anonymous) September 16 2021—This unsigned comment is by 72.92.80.128 (wall • contribs). Please sign your comments by adding "~~~~" in the source editor.

Technically yes, admins can be blocked. However they also have the ability to unblock themselves. An admin would need to have their sysop removed before being blocked. Supreme Emperor ^Holocomm 04:41, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

What does "This user is currently blocked across the Fandom network." mean?[]

Does it mean, this user is banned on all of FANDOM? and how do you block a user on all of FANDOM? --ZOWXTCERYV (talk) 21:08, Oct 20, 2021 (UTC)

As it sounds, such users have been generally blocked in all Fandom projects. Only the highest-ranking users of the Fandom staff can block an account generally in all Fandom. Usually these are trolls whose nicknames or avatars are highly offensive or imply another serious violation of Fandom's policies, such as sockpuppety or hateful behavior on dozens of repeated occasions that demonstrate that that user was not seeking to contribute at all and only annoy other users or vandalize content hosted on Fandom wikis.

Here is an example: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Coloradofan2020

Adjusting "Special:Block" page text[]

Is there anyway to modify or change the top text that sits on the block page for mods/admins (Use the form below to block write access from a specific IP address...)? There appears to be a red link on the "policy" text that I would like to adjust to ensure that it actually links to our policies instead of being dead/nonexistent. Thanks.

14:31, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

You can directly make a redirect to the current policy. It's possible to redirect to the non-existent page. —Baran ^☪︎ 18:23, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Making a redirect to the current policy? How would that work? I don't know what MediaWiki page the block page would link to.
-Ventillate { 👤 | 💬 | 🔧 }
14:37, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

For example, you want to link it like #REDIRECT [[Project:Rules]] on Project:Policy. This makes a valid link to do that. For security reasons, it can't be change unless you want to whitelist the system message by contacting Fandom Staff. —Baran ^☪︎ 17:47, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

A user, [http://gowfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Kryll_king kryll king], was permanently banned for harassing other users. I admit the ban may have been overzealous, but since then, he has created two other accounts to dodge the ban: [http://gowfanon.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:THE_KRYLL_KING&action=edit&redlink=1 this one to avoid the initial ban] and [http://gowfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_kryll this one to avoid the second ban that followed].

-Hi. At the [[w:c:aceattorney|Ace Attorney Wiki]], we've had a problem with an unregistered user who is repeatedly replacing the same content into the [[w:c:aceattorney:Turnabout Trump|Turnabout Trump]] page. The problem is that the content is pure plot speculation, trying to fill in needless details and demonstrating an obvious amount of misunderstanding of the plot. I have attempted to contact the user through the edit summaries (admittedly edit summaries don't bring out my best side sometimes), the user's talk pages (it switched IPs once) and recently the article's talk page. However, either the user isn't aware of Recent Changes, page history, talk pages, etc. or even what's going on at all (increasingly unlikely), or the user is intentionally ignoring attempts to talk in favour of adding the same thing with rewordings over and over again until I accept it.
+== Got Blocked Unfairly ==
-I'm taking this issue here because I had a similar case before, where an unregistered user kept changing dates of birth. I blocked the user for three days after two warnings with no response whatsoever, and then I never saw that user again. I still feel uneasy about that block. I'm also rather certain that other wikis have experienced the same problem with cases like these that clearly are in good faith but are hopelessly misguided and detrimental to article quality. I don't want to put protection on the page because it has benefitted from unregistered users, the problem is only with one unregistered user, and I feel like I'm imposing a personal preference to resolve the issue. This is not a fansite forum where moderators have special diplomatic powers and special treatment, and I take that fact seriously.

Why can't this blocking mechanism block them from even editing the pages as well (even if it's for users only on some pages)?
-Is there a way of area blocking for creating new accounts and edits? Like if a part of a country... is coming to spam your wiki, and a part of members in the wiki also in that area...

-==Contacting blocker==
-:If you feel you have been unfairly blocked, please contact the person who blocked you.
-Users are instructed to do this, but I believe more information should be provided here. When people are blocked, they can only edit their own talk pages, and sometimes not even that, if the blocking admin is particularly malicious (this should only be done against spammers who are not interactive, not to prevent an appeals process, but it happens when people abuse power).
-So it is not possible to contact via a Talk Page or a Message Wall. The only way someone would know you're trying to contact them is if they were already subscribed to your message wall or following your talk page due to previous interaction.
-:Admins are advised to give a warning to people before banning them.
-Not all admins do that, so there may be no such prior interaction to utilize to engage in conversation with them. If a user has not had prior subscribed-to Message Wall convos with other admins, there is also no means of appealing to other admins who manage a wiki.
-A 'list of admins' is basically useless to the average user. Most people are unaware of the [[Special:Contact]] function these days, as it is not readily advertised. For those who ARE aware of it, it is not always a functional option because many wikis disable this contact feature, and for those who do have it enabled, some users do not provide e-mail addresses to use it.
-I believe if this is the only means of admin contact made available to banned members that admins MUST be mandated to keep this function active. But even then, e-mails can be ignored without consequence, and there should be consequence and oversight to admins who shirk the duty of interacting with the members and giving them a fair hearing. Wikis are not the personal property of any particular user, even those vested with authority like admins or even bureaucrats.
-Just as staff consider the thoughts of the community at large, the average user, when appointing new management, these opinions should be taken into consideration when deciding whether or not to keep them, whether or not their decisions are just and whether or not they are abusing their powers.
-I am going to add discussion of the options and mention the possibility of contacting a user via Community Central. Administrators who disable a user's ability to edit have disabled the ability to leave a Talk Page or Message Wall comment. Due to this, and the lack of reliability of [[Special:Contact]], using Community Central as an open forum to discuss the issue seems all that remains. These contributions would be off-wiki so they would not be as obvious to other editors, assuring some means of privacy (though obviously none is absolute).
-I believe a third option for resolution should be provided though. If sysops are being abusive, a clear means for contacting Wikia Staff about resolving this should be created. I don't think it's right for Staff to ignore these events. Staff are ultimately responsible for appointing new sysops/bureaucrats when they issue out adoptions, and for making sure policies are followed to prevent the bullying of users and creating an open atmosphere.

-==Figuring out active blocks==
-In cases where there are many block logs, is there a command we can use to call up a list of those still actively blocked? Like for example, if someone was permanently blocked 5 years ago, and in the last month dozens of people get brief 10-minute blocks, the logs are all cluttered.
-I was wondering if the log could arrange by severity rather than chronology? Or is there some kind of Special:ListUsers grouping which will only show blocked people?

-==Undeserved permanent block/IP block on Muppets Wiki==
-Hello,
-A month ago, I made an awful edit on the Muppet Wiki (which included my personal dislike of a character). I realized it was vandalism and went back to remove it. I then noticed that I was PERMANENTLY blocked from the Wiki with no warning whatsoever. I then logged onto a different IP and user and posted a lengthy apology and unban request on the offending Admin's talk page. He never responded. A month later, I posted a similar message. I was then blocked on my second account and IP. Please help me. I have never vandalized a Wiki before, and have contributed to several other Wikis (which you can see in my "Favorite Wikis"). {{Unsigned| ‎Mario-MegaManX}}
-:Admins can block at their own discretion. Wikia doesn't interfere with that, the only way to appeal the block is to ask the blocking admin.

-==Cross-Wiki Cyberbullying==
-I blocked user by the name of VideoGamePhenomHD on Kirby Wiki more than a year ago. His block expired and he returned for revenge. I had to ban him for intimidating behavior. From time to time, he'll appear on other wikis (such as [http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:VideoGamePhenomHD Pokemon Wiki] and [http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:VideoGamePhenomHD Fantendo]) with the intention of cyberbullying me. It's getting rather annoying. He ends up blocked by the respective wikis' admins each time, but that won't solve the problem indefinitely.
-He disrespectful to other admins and me, making destructive edits for fun. Is there any way to have him banned from the entirety of Wikia? If not, what else can be done about him?
