Global locks Global locks are technical measures employed against user accounts to prevent them from logging in.

Een global lock is een technische maatregel die stewards en global sysops kunnen gebruiken om te voorkomen dat een account inlogt op een wiki op Miraheze, waardoor de toegang tot het account volledig wordt geblokkeerd. Wanneer een account geblokkeerd is, zullen alle pogingen om in te loggen mislukken. Het wordt meestal toegepast op accounts die alleen voor vandalisme zijn, accounts die alleen voor spam zijn, gecompromitteerde accounts, of zeer storende accounts die meerdere wiki's hebben misbruikt. Een account dat globaal vergrendeld is, kan ook zo ingesteld worden dat de gebruikersnaam verborgen wordt in alle logs; dit wordt gebruikt voor storende of ongepaste namen.

Unlike a local block where users are prevented from editing a particular wiki and may have limited access (including editing their talk page or emailing users if local administrators allow them to), global locks log users out of their account and prevent them from being able to log in. Global locks are usually applied to vandalism-only accounts, spam-only accounts, compromised accounts, or highly disruptive accounts that have been spotted abusing multiple wikis. Accounts that have been globally locked can also be configured to have their usernames hidden on all logs; this is used for disruptive or inappropriate names. Additional uses include Trust and Safety actions (which may include anonymizing/hiding a username), global ban enforcement and self-requested locks.

To request a global lock, please use the Stewards' noticeboard. All evidence that entails a lock should be provided. In cases of cross-wiki vandalism, spam or other disruptions, you can also report it on the Counter Vandalism Team IRC or Discord channel to have either a Global Sysop or Steward lock the account. If you are reporting an underage user, do not do this - instead, report including all evidence directly to tsmiraheze.org.

To appeal a global lock, please email stewardsmiraheze.org. Please make sure to include any relevant information in your appeal, including the account being appealed, any other accounts they should know about, and reasoning for the lock to be lifted.
