 * Global blocks have been in the works for 13 years now but there doesn't seem to be any progress so far. Because this is an upstream issue, this is out-of-scope for us, sorry! See T17294 on Wikimedia Phabricator for more information. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Proposal summary: I suggest the ability to globally block accounts.

Full proposal: I'm not saying remove the ability to lock accounts. The global locking feature is a matter of permanently banning users. Global blocks, however, are more of a temporary thing. For example, if a user is underage, in which their account will be globally blocked until they reach the minimum requirement, which is 13 (16 in the EEAA, does not include the United Kingdom, but does include California.) Another example is if a user causes cross-wiki drama, which would warrant a temporary global block, like 1 week to 3 months. That's my suggestion.
